An Effort to he Made 10 ADOPT the Actual
Australian sysessn.
The republicans are going 10 make an effort
10 have the ballot law Of New York state @
amended that the actual Australian system shall
b adopted without modification. Gen. Hus-
ted says that the matter was most earnestly,
though rather informally, discussed 81 the
recent meeting Of the republican state central
committee.
MI Saxtoo. who ID the author Of the present
law, has been giving very close study to SINH
lar laws adopted in other statea He ID con-
WINGED that any modification Of the Australian
system viii tend to embarrass those who desire
perfect secret ballot law. Certainly the pres
emit law has not proved very successful. On &C.
count Of it the courts have been occupied ever
since election with contested cases
In Connecticut they are said to feel some
what dissatisfied with the law, which is in
many respects simila: to the New York Law,
and politicians of both parties there assert that

nave made government in that state for the
past year almost q matter Of popular suffrance
and has compelled the acting governor to pay
many OF the expenses Of the state out Of his
own pocket. The feeling il that the present
law does not 60 far enough and that there il
no remedy at all for its defects except in the
system as 1t Is known in Australia.

Deceivtng the Car a. to the Famine.
II appears that the car has been grossly de-
ceived - to the actual facts Of the famine. The
governors Of provinces in which the situation
Is worst were told by high officials that they
must not present the case to the car in az bad
q light a. the facts justified. Acting on these
directions the rulers Of the famine-stricken
provinces stated in answer to inquiries of the
car that the restitution existed only in isolated
cases and that the condition of affairs was
sensibly improving owing to the quantity of
wheat and other provisions which had reached
the famine districts and been distributed 70
those In need. The object Of this representa-
ton 10 said to be the desire of high officials to
cover their own neglect in not preparing
promptly to meet the failure of harvest and
scarcity Of food. =

Happy elimination of q Romance in Bos

Happy elimination of q Romance in Bos-
ton Art Circles.
The announcement of the engagement of
Alice Theo Ruggles Of Boston to H. H. Kitson
has occasioned great deal Of pleasant COM
ment in art circles in that city, where both
parties are well known. Says the New York
World: In the winter Of 1885, when Miss Rug
giles was but fourteen years old, she attracted
the admiration Of her family by carving in the
snow the figure Of q reclining horse. She was
too young to be admitted into any Of the art
schools Of the city, and arrangements were
finally made with Mr.. Kitson, who 10 now her
afaanced husband, to receive her a. q pupil in
his studio.
Two years later Miss Ruggles sent to the de-
partment Of fine arts in the mechanics fair her
first head from Ife-that Of little italian girl
whom she had found in the slums-and she
was awarded q medal for her work. Subse-
quently the head was exhibited at the Salon in
Paris.
That same year Mrs. Ruggles took her daugh-
ter to Paris, where she entered rEcole des
Beaux Arts, and a. the result Of this sojourn
abroad Miss RugGles sent two works to the
Salon Of 1889. where both were accepted. and
ION the Banks Of the Disc" as she called the
beautiful nude boy half reclining by the waters
brink was accorded honorable mention which
was the first time that this distinction had ever
been won by q woman in sculpture. Mr.. Kit
son was also in Europe at this time, part Of the
time resident OF the household OF the King OF
Roumania, where he was modelling the head of
the queen. He often referred to his little
pupil, and the sovereign became 20 interested

Ruggles returned to America she again entered

would last for years and in the end save
money. No such nigeardly, p%arsimonious
policy should be followed i'll regard to
the fair, if the people of this country. ex-
pect to see 1t II success. And yet | am
afraid the representatives from the agricul-
tural regions or the northwest n
the southwest will not be disposed to
allow large appropriations for the fair.
They are not SO apt to view the
success or failure of the fair as the
east would, and might treat it rs a matter
of indifference. They awe less money in
these sections and naturally may think
large appropriations a reckless waste, not
understanding the political economy which
returns a ten-fold investment where the
people derive the benefit, n i'll a large
measure have the money distributed among
them. 1t ia an idea of mine hat the Fifty
second congress- will not be liberal and sim
ply allow the fair money enough to put a
shabby genteel appearance, in order to say
that Uncle Sam was represented. Uncle
Sam was a humiliation at the Paris exposl-
ton, but that is no reason why he should be
so Mt Chicago.
If the mkt congress does not consent to
make appropriations sufficient to insure
success for the fair l shall vote against any
appropriations. Either be liberal and
father the fair or give nothing and repu-
diate the whole business. 1t is not the time
to stand on the question of so-called coon
Omy, but to act one way or the other.
France gave q great exposition and lost
nothing. The poor people all over that
country went down into their stockings and
backed up the enterprise. We have an
enormously rich country and it does look as
if failure would be impossible. Patriotic
sentiment has helped to accomplish won
ders in this country, but if the government
has the spirit of a rich miser and doles out
small, insufficient sums to the fair, We may
expect to see a fiasco that will make every
American blush. l do not wish to see it.
and if congress shows any disposition to be
liberal l shall do all l can to help make the
fair a pride to this country.
Its benefits will be far reaching and q
liberal education to thousands.

In my opinion a great mistake was made
in selecting Chicago as the site for a
Worlds fair, but now that it is beyond re-
call l think we should do like a general who
gets his army in q IA situation, viz: fight
it out in the best way possible. 1t has now
passed to that stage where we must invoke
national pride to insure success. If ma
tional pride is lacking and the government
enacts a parsimonious role, then the fair
should not be given under it's auspices, but
turned over to private individuals. New
YORK had SIS, DOC, 600 raised, a sum that in
sured success without any aid whatsoever
from congress and yet in the face of this
splendid fact the body that has the right to
pass federal appropriations decided in
favor of Chicago. / do not wish to indulge
in harsh retrospection and reiterate the in
Gontrovertible statement that a seaboard
city with nearly 10000 0 inhabitants, the
metropolis of the western hemisphere would
naturally attract more visitors, more fer
eign exhibitors and have, from the start,
the prospect of great success. In juxtapo-
sition to this picture we see an inland city,
1000 miles from the s~eacoast, not so popu-
lous, struggling to get some LOCO subscrib-
ers to pay an assessment of 2 per cent. and
calling on the government for aid, in a fee
plC oliNCl "is NoiSC, LIN b" SoibS ~
keep on saying more" VIII foreign ex-
hibitors be aeer to &C SO far into the inte-
rior and will rot the mere fact that the
fair is not to be held in the chief city in tho
Union have q decided effect on foreigners?
These are pertinent questions. Now | come
to the vital question of whether the nation
al government should make appropriations
The government has already officially in
vited foreign nations to participate and has
therefore taken official cognizance, not to
say supervision of the fair. If the far
proves a monumental failure, as things
stand now, the odium would naturally fall
upon the government and justly 80. 1t
would be a lasting disgrace to the country.
If the government does not intend to
give sufficient money to insure Il
success that will eclipse the Paris
exposition, then ! think it should
%repudiate the fair altogether and let it be
held as a private enterprise. The idea that
q great and rich nation should condescend
to appropriate such small sums towards a
fair that it has officially recognized is pre-
posterous in the extreme. A stingy rich
man can never grow richer and never make
a success of any undertaking. What the
government does should Ee done in a lib
eral enough way to insure success beyond Il
peradventure. Now if the government in
tends to have any buildings at the fair they
should be magnificent patterns of the
y finest style OF architecture and excel in
every particular. But a weak, out-at-the.
knee and-eibows kin of Il structure, la.
beled Federal Building. should not be put
up to be a laughing-stock to foreign as well
ny home visitors. Such a policy is just tho
kind that prompts the government tC
rent post office buildings in some towns and
elslet instead OF erecting structures thai
