DocToRINo THE LOCAL VOTE.
The System OF Local SeIf-Government rs
Viewed by Mr.. Harrison.


Viewed by Mr.. Harrison.
The people Of State elect their Gov
ernor and Secretary of State by major
ity vote, and the officials thus chosen
act as their Representatives, in certifying
their choice of representatives in Con-
gress If this is wrong the entire sys-
tem of local self government is wrong
ana the ballot is blunder; for, GER
tainly If the people of State or local
ity" can not be trusted to manage their
own elections and certify their will, as
declared by their votes, they are unfit
to cast the votes in the first pla ]. In
his message Mr.. Harrison openly takes
the ground that .sthe local authorities
must not be trusted with "certification."
He Is willing to let the local voters vote,
but on condition that the .certification''
should be done by the agents Of the
District of Columbia office-holders,
whom the people are likely to wish to
vote against Mr. Harrison argues that
II these local voters certify their local
vote through their local authorities''
1t gives the person whom they have
locally chosen their representative In
Congress "a prima facie right" to take
his seat
This, in Mr., Harrison's view, is. the
Jaw in the American system, and he
lnsists.that it must be mended by the
force bill at once, His way Of mend
ing il is to take from the local voters
the power to certify their vote through
their focal authorities SO that it may

dennis as unfit T. BE- trusted by the pe0-
pie who select them. II the authorities
are local, unless they are located in
the District Of Columbis; unless the
ofice-holder is in some way dependent
ON the District of Columbus and IN 50
much independent Of the locality and
the local voters, Mr.. Harrison takes IL
for granted that their intentions are
criminal and their acts far more liable
to be fraudulent than the acts Of Dis
triet Of Columbia politicians.
II this is true, we might as well stop
pretending that we are at to be free,
md, In order that virtue may be forced
on us from superior natures, make the
Presidency and al other Offices hereof
tary. That and that alone will eradi-
cate the local habit Of acting through
local authority without the consent Of
the District Of Columbia politicians.
Mr. Harrisof's plan Of returning
boards stops just short of effective
ness. No doubt one election might be
stolen with IL as was done In 1876, but
when the attempt was made the second
time the local voters might emphasize
their local authority by q convincing
protest against the District of Columbia
returning boards.
In theory the returning board system
makes an easy way for the District Of
Columbia tax-consumers to perpetuate
themselves in Office, regardless Of the
local voters. but these same local voters
have will Of their own, and q way OF
showing it, regardless Of what return
ing board certifies. So the only logical
method through which Mr.. Harrison
can enforce his views is through q sys-
tenn under which when man once gets
Office In the District of Columbia he can
hold it during his lifetime and leave il
to his son and his grandson after him.

wadded and generally oval, il provided
fifteen inches by seven is . good size.
This bag looks not unlike q tea-cosy
when fiat only chestnut sachet is
rounded below as we'll as above. and
open at one end. A loose cover OF
pretty drawn work, embroidered linen,
crochet lace or some other dainty work
is slipped over the bag when IL has been
filed with the roasted chestnuts still
in rusty. brown coats, hot from the
oven or the ashes and done to turn.
As quickly as may be-for chestnuts TO
be toasted in perfection should be hot
the maid carries the delicacy in the

have been laid at each plate The
guests in turn slip their hands into the
opening OF the bag, taking therefrom .
handful OF chestnuts, which they de-
posit on their plates lightly breaking
away the crackling bulls with their an
gers. Then holding the satin-like
kernel in the hand, they put piece OF
fresh butter on II with silver. fruit
knife, and thus eat the nut Chestnuts
taken In this way are dish for the
gods In regard to the bag. Its shape
may be varied. Two things. however.
must be borne in mind. First that the
object Of the bag is to keep the chest
nuts hot consequently It must be made
to admit as little air as possible; second.
that the opening must be sufIlciently
large to admit the hand easily -Chica-
