when the Senate takes up the question
If ballot reform it is to be hoped that it
sill pay strict attention to the merits of
the question. What the attitude Of the
Democrats is in rsgrd 10 il is Of very
Light consequence and Republicans should
Got waste t,me discussing il. The only
question to be .ettled is whether the Aus
trslian system will couduce to purer and
fsirer elections; and as that is settled The
fate of the bill ought 10 be settled, ir;e-
spec,ive of what the Democrats think or
profess to think. IA bearing on that ques-
,ion the tes imory OF people and newsps
pets of other States that have giveu the
system fair trial is of great value-and
e.pe cisiiv the tastimouy CT the people and
papers Of the neigtboTing state Of Massa.
chusetts What is this testimony? The
orp,rents Of the system have rsted Mass
sohuset.s over for facts which tended to
ai.credit its value, yet they have fourd bu'
one that has the slightest tendency in that
direction. They have discovered that
many voters fail t. nsrk the minor offices
on the ticset. either getting tired before
they get tn them or caring very little abou'
them, This is absolutely all they have
been able to discover after = search Of 4
year and half. II is very trivial defect
but even this is remedied in the bill now
before the Legislature, by grouping the
candidates by parties and allowing the voie'
ID vote for whole group by making one
mark. On the other hand the Testimony
which the friends Of the system are able 10
brig from Massachusetts in its behalf il
overwhelming. We have yet TO hssr oi
one single individual. Republican or Dem
crss, or ore newspaper, Republican or Dem.
oc,at, that expresses or has expressed any
thir g but praise of the system and that hs'
ret declared it 8 crest improvement ovei
The old method. Il has not brought tbs
millennium Of cour-e but it hiss made cleo
tons fsirec, purer, more orderly and II
every wsy more nearly what they shoult
be, namely, =, unbiased expression by esc'
Individual voter Of his conscientious con
vic,;on,. That is the testimony Of Mas's
chusett. ami il seems to settle the onli
question uhich should have any pace i
the discussion, namely. the question OF TO-
superiority Of the Australion system owe
the existing one.

AU6TR Allan BALLOT.
1. Briggs Out the Votsss.
( Lewiston Jou.nal |

The further study Of Mssss chusests
town meetings this spring shows that the
Australian ballot system le nds to largely
increased vote, ssps cia!ly on the prohbi-
'ioh question. Apart from the kind CT
vote, the fact itself that the Australian
ballot tends to increase the number Of peo-
ple who take interest enough in tie NUM-
cIpal government TO come out and vote, is
m important argument in its favor. Maine
needs the Australian ballo. as much for
municipal as for general elections. All
Msne is now snxiously looking to see The
Maine Senate adequately voice public
opinion on the issue OF ballot reform.

MORE TROUBLE CAUSED BY ALTON.

Chicago, April "a meeting of the Illinois Freight
Association held to-day to take action on notices
Of withdrawal filed by the Chicago Milwaukee and
St Paul and the Chicago and Northwestern roads.
These two companies are dissatisfied because the
Chicago and Alton insists on preserving the Chicago
dferentals against Milwaukee on traffic to Texas
points, and they refuse TO act longer with tho
association. when it found that they were
determined upon this course, the Atchison and the
Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City also gave notice
of withdrawal, and IL is understood that the Rock
Island is now contemplating the same step. This
will probably cause disruption Of the Illinois As
ISOLATION, but will not affect the Chicago and ST.
Louis Traffic Association. Chairman ]. n. Faithom
says that the lines in the Southwestern Railway
and Steamship Association protesting against the
Atoms position and may refuse to allow it the
proportions 1t claims Texas business, II 1t insists
on making a lower rate. from Chicago than, othsr
roads make from Milwaukee. When told of this
General Manager Chsppell said All right let them
do as they think best. They can't charge any more
than their local rates from St. Louis and we stand
ready to take the business to ST. Louis for nothing IL
necessary. There is just as much sense in making
the st. Louis rate apply from Chicago as there Is
making the Chicago rate apply from Milwaukee and
Green Bay"

WARM WORDS OVER TOURIST RATES.

Chicago, April 9-The Western Passenger Asso
citation closed its session with somewhat heated
debate over tourist rates. There was a proposition
to make the rate between St Louis and st. Paul
rs per cent Of the regular rate, and there was
vigorous opposition from some of the members who
cOntended that so per cent was the usual basis and
was low enough. The Chicago and Alton repre-
sentative declared that the proposition were adopted
he would make tourist rates between other points
75 per cent of the regular rate The whole matter
was laid on the table. Late this afternoon the gen.
eral passenger agents Of the Northwestern lines
were in conference with a ,representaave OF
ment by which the latter Is to be allowed diferentia
of 81 so on business from ST Paul and Minneapolis
IN
