The Ballot Reform Bill.

The MORNING NEWS yesterday published
the text of the Gilbert ballot reform bill
/ which. it is expected, will be reported favor
| ably nv the judiciary committee Of the
House this week. More than a year ago the
| MORNING NEWS called attention to the
necessity for a ballot reform law In this
state. and from time to time since then 1t
has urged the necessity for such law.
What il has said has not been without
effect. The people undoubtedly are in favor
of a ballot reform law, and the indications
are that the pending ballot reform bill,
with, perhaps, some notifications, Will be
passed.
The bill has been framed with a great
deal of care. The ballot reform laws Of
other states have been studied by the ju-
dietary committee and the best features Of
them incorporated in the pending bill.
Still, the bill may not be regarded as
wholly satisfactory. The objections to it,
if any are made, should he, aud doubtless
will be, given very careful consideration.
Members from some Of the country dis
tricts may be inclined to think ballot re-
form law unnecessary, and they may even
regard ths system of voting for which it
provides as being a slow one and having
altogether too many red tape characteristics,
but If thew will take the trouble 70 find out
what the experience Of states in which it is
in operation has been, they will change
their opinions.
But it is in the cities that the system is
most highly appreciated by those who favor
an honest ballot, because there its good
effects are most clearly seen. The ward
heelers and bribers do not favor it, because
it interferes with their plans and purposes.
They would like avenues to corruption left
unobstructed. However, what they want
is not what the people want, If there is any
system by which an honest election can be
had it ought to be adopted without hesita-
ton.
The MORNING NEWS has pointed out
many times the benefits of ballot reform,
and they will be pointed out again during
the discussion of the pending bill.
II the bill should become law the disgrace
full practice of purchasing votes, which pre-
walls to such an alarming extent in muni-
cipal and even county elections, will be
ended. If this legislature gives the state a
ballot reform law it will have the credit Of
having done one thing for which the people
eventually, IL not Immediately, will be pro-
foundly grateful.

Ingenious Trick of a Passenger.

English railways have the very sensible rule
that passengers are not allowed to stand in the
cars if any one objects thereto The following
incident of recent occurrence shows that it does
not always pay Co insist too strongly on one S
rights, says the Oswego Tunes:
"Will you kindly allow me to stand?'' asked a
gentleman, as he got into a railway carriage,
which carriage already contained tie specified
number.
Certainly not sir!' exclaimed passenger
occupying a corner seat near the door. The
way these trains are overcrowded is shame
fuln
AS you appear to be the only person who
objects to my pres ance," replied the gentle
man, - shall remain where am."
Then shall call the guard and have you re-
moved, SIR
SuIng the action to the word. the aggrieved
passenger rose, and putting his head out of the
window, vociferously demanded tue guard. The
newcomer saw his opportunity, and quietly
slipped into the corner seat.
"One over the number said the newcomer
to the guard, cooly.
You must come out, sir! The trains going
on" and without waiting for further explana-
ton the guard pulled out the aggreved passen-
ger. who was left wildly gesticuating on the
platform

EowDr. Chalmers Won.

Dr. Chalmers always had a high sense Of
personal dignity. When young man he was
engaged as tutor in a private family, says the
New York World. His young lady pupils re-
sented his strictness, and the mother foolishly
took sides with her DAUGHTERS. In petty spite,
when company was invited to the house. young
Chalmers was shut out from the table, and
dinner was sent to his room.
He made no protest against the treatment,
hut when IL was attempted again he told the
servant he had ordered dinner at a neighbor-
ing town. and should need nothing When
this had been done q few times an explosion

Learning something is a very slow and
difficult process with some people. When it
has to be battered into them by an explosion
then they are generally too much crushed
with surprise to really enjoy the advantage
gained. Down in Arkansas German tailor
undertook to find a gas leak with lighted
match the other day. Like other exper =
mentors in the same way he found it mighty
suddenly. That reduces the population Of
Pine Bluff one tailor. Yet it does seem that
the man must have read enough about hunt
ing gas leaks with lighted matches to have
refrained and died natural death all in one
chunk.
