THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT system.


The professed purposes Of what is
termed the Australian ballot system
are the secrecy Of the ballot and to pre-
vent the corrupting or intimidsting the
voter. It was practically introduced
into the United States in 1888, by its
adoption by law in the city Of Louis
vile, Kentucky, and in the state OF
Massachusetts though it went into ef-
feet in the old bay state at the cleo
tion Of 1889. In 1889 the Legislatures
of Indiana, Montana, Rhode Island,
Wisconsin, Tennessee, Minnesota,
Missouri, Michigan and Connecticut,
in the order given, passed laws adopt
ing this new system Of voting. The
Connecticut form varied from the
Massachusetts, method more than
that Of the other states named.
In 1890 laws which are more or less
notifications Of the Australian sys-
tenn were adopted by the Legislatures
Of Washington, New York, Maryland,
New Jersey and Vermont
Quite a marked feature of the bal
lot practice in New South Wales is
that the names Of all the candidates
being on one ticket, the names of per-
sons for whom the voter does not
wish to vote must be crossed of, q
blue lead pencil being provided for
the purpose by the authorities, while
there are closely printed on the ticket
in red ink, directions as to how many
candidates must be voted for. II
more than the limit are voted for the
ballot is informal.
The Rhode Island Ballot Reform
Association in advocating the adop-
tion OF the Australian system, issued
statement Of the advantages which
il claimed for the system, and they
were thus presented:
Elrst-A secret ballot, cast as proposed In this
plan, interposos the most eifectual preventive Of
no bribery Of the voter ever devised.
Second-A secret ballot secures the voter
The advocate., 1891-05-06

1t can readily be seen that the ad-
ministration in the Fifty-frst Con-
gress was in a majority Of twenty-one
in the House, while in this Congress
it will be In q minority of sixty-nine,
which is an administration loss Of
ninety in a membership Of 131.
The fifteen states above presented
will have 1853 electoral votes in 1892,
and who can be brave enough to
count with any degree of certainty
more than the seven electoral votes
from the states OF Vermont and Wash
ington from the list as approving the
present national administration in
1892?
Republican state conventions in
Idaho, illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Oregon, South Dakota Texas and
West Virginia in 1890 svowed them
selves as favoring the Australian bal
lot reform, but who can tell where
this party in it's Legislatures Of 1891
have made any movement in this all
important direction Of a needed re-
form in the interest of purity Of cleo
tions? In far of Maine, the home Of
Reed and Blame, where the Republi-
cans have twenty-seven of the thirty
one members Of their State Senate
and 10 of the 151 members Of
their House, are they not and have

The body was found in a crouched position
in the parlor, the head resting in pool of
blood, and over the eyes there was big
bruise. There was found at the kitchen
door brace and several bits. These and
other points lead to the general belief that
Mr.. Tobin surprised some burglars at
work, and in the struggle that followed he
was murdered. and the house fired to con-
ceal the crime.
The body was burned beyond recognition.
An inquest is now being held, at which it
was brought out that marks resembling the
lmprinJs of mans finger nails were dis
covered on the dead mans throat. The in
quest will not be completed before Monday
Several persons have been arrested. All un-

MoKEEsPoRT, March 22-The McKeesport
officials are congratulating themselves over the
idea that the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the reference to the street improve
ments will not affect McKeesport, and the
reason given is that the street improvements
here were done under the act of April, 1867.
This act is not the one specified in the
supreme Courts decision, therefore the de-
cided opinion given is that MckeesporC will
not be barred from collecting the great amount
OF money due the city for street Improvement.

good of all. It was quite appropriate that on the walls of the library should hang an oil painting of David M. Hunt in whose memory the building was erected. And last but not least word of appreciation and commendation IS due to the untiring energies and indom- itable zeal of the president, MT A. 0. Randall, who has spared no pains in carrying out the details of the work.
 The select school opened on Tuesday morning Sept 18th and under the pres ent management promises to be suc- cess. Lovers of Art will we pleased to give Miss Mulford call at the Art room in the library building.
 A singular coincidence should be mentioned in connection with the open ing of the David M Hunt Library and school building. Saturday, September 12, 1891, was the 27th anniversary of the death of David M. Hunt, but none of the committee thought of it when the day was set for the formal opening of the Library and school building; neither did anyone think of it last Saturday, the opening day and this makes it still more of 8 coincidence David M. Hunt died 12, 1864. C. w H.
