Ballot Reform.

Il is a matter of wonder that so few of
the southern states have adopted ballot re-
form. There is no doubt that the Austral-
ian system Of voting is much superior to
! the system practiced in nearly all the states
Of the south The southern states which
have adopted it could net he induced to go
back to the old system. Those states are
Arkau sas, Tennessee, Missouri, West Vir-
GINA and Kentucky. Kentucky, however,
has not vet tried it, Tho new constitution,
which provides for it, has not yet been sub
mitted to the people for ratification. That
instrument will be ratified, however, and
the Australian ballot system is the system
under which ballots will be cast in Ken
lucky.
Twenty-four states have adopted the
Australian system or notifications Of it,
and within a year several other states will
adopt it, in all probability. 1t is quite safe
to predict that within two or three years
every northern and western state will have
adopted the Australian ballot system or
some system based upon it.
Under the circumstances IL is difficult TO
see why Georgia, Florida and other southern
states are so backward about the matter.
In Florida the legislature is now in session.
There is nothing it could do that would give
the people of that state greater satisfaction
than the adoption of the Australian system
of voting.
The benefits Of the system are very great.
They have been stated SO often, however,
that the public is familiar with them. and
regards them with favor. The system
virtually makes bribery, ballot box frauds
and intimidation impossible, and at the
same time, it relieves voters Of the many
petty annoyances to which they are sub
jected under the old system Of voting.
II the members of the legislature Of this
state are thoroughly in earnest in their eff
forts to serve the people they will give the
question of ballot reform very careful con-
sideration before the Legislature meets
again, so that when it does meet they will
be prepared to take decided action with re-
SpeCt to il.

Some Good Advice.

There was young man in a seat by himself
who betrayed such Impotence every time the
train stopped, says the New York Sun, that
the old man in front of him finally turned and
inquired:

act SO nervous? Heard any bad news?"
Didn't know but somebody was dead"

The hardest case ever ran across for pure

SIX Men RISK Their Souls.

woman wearing a macintosh and carrying
an umbrella says the New York Times, stood
at the ticket window at the Barclay street ferry
the other day. Six men were behind her in
line. A boat was due to leave in about two
minutes.
DO boats leave here for Hoboken?n she asked
and the man inside answered YES"
How long will it be before the next one
leaves?"
About minute" was the reply
Does the boat go straight 10 Hoboken?"
asked the woman.
YES said the ticket seller.
How long could l wait in Hoboken before
there was another boat back" asked the
woman. while the men behind her grew nervous
AAs long as you please" said the patient
ticket seller; they are going and coming all
the time"
Gould get from Hoboken to Jersey City
without coming back here?"
Yes; street cars run regularly" was the
answer
Would it be quicker to go by car or come
back and take ferry to Jersey City," she
asked
II don't know" was the answer. Then the
ticket seller asked impatiently, How many?''
How many what?" said the woman
Tickets How many tickets do you want?''
The bell was ringing for the boat to move and
the men in line were swearing.
II don't want any tickets" she said. "My
sister lives in Hoboken, and if l thought had
time to go and see her and call on my brother s
folks in Jersey City was going over tomor-
row."

The Man With a Suspicion.

II was a general southern store run BY white
man, but a very mean, small store and stock,
says the Chicago Post, and the owner was an
ornery- looking specimen of humanity I had
gone in to get out Of the rain. and found him
all alone. After some conversation he turned
to me with
Stranger. do you drink whisky"
No, Blr.
Thought you didn't. Do you know whisky

He brought some in mug. 1t didn't look or

Blaine to Swing Around the Circle.
II Mr. Blaiue's friends have their way
he will follow the example of the President
and make a trip through the country.
There seems to be no doubt that he has
about decided to be a candidate for the
presidential nomination of his party in
1892. One Of the reasons for this decision
is said to be the rather harsh treatment he
has received from the President. He wants
to show the President that he still has a few
friends.
If the reports sent from Washington are
reliable the President has taken pains TO
make his position an uncomfortable one.
He has interfered in the reciprocity negotia-
tions with the South American states, and
he refused to let Mr.. Blaine carry on
reciprocity negotiations with the repre-
sentatives of Canada who came to Wash
ington ON Mr.. Blaine's invitation for the
purpose Of making a reciprocal treaty.
If Mr.. Blaine should swing around the
circle he would excite a great deal Of en-
thusiasm. He is magnetic man, and ne
has much greater reputation for brilliancy
and ability than the President. And the
But from recent accounts Mr.. Blaine will
have to think about his health before making
plans for an electioneering tour. That he
is a sick man there is no doubt. For several
weeks he has not been able to attend regu-
larly to the duties of his office, and it is re-
ported that he is talking about going to
Europe to try the waters of Carlsbad.
No doubt Mr.. Blaine would have left the
cabinet long ago il he could have done 30
with credit to himself 1t is understood
that the only thing that keeps him
from resigning is the incomplete condition
of his reciprocity policy. That policy, to
! which be has given so much time and atten-
| ton, would be abandoned if he were to sever
| his connection with the administration, and
he would lose the credit which he expects to
| get from it.
| But there does not seem to be any reason
for doubling that he will leave the cabinet
| in the near future, and if he does aud his
health is such as to justify him in doing so,
he will probably make a tour through the
country.

Wave thy dewy diadem;
Thy crimson luxury unfold,
And drink the sunny blaze of gold.
Ger the Zephyr. sportive minion,
Spreads the blue aurelian pinion.
Now in loves low whispers winging,
Now in giddy fondness clinging,
With all a lovers warmth he woos thee,
With all lovers wiles pursues thee.
And thou wilt yield, and thou wilt give
The sigh that none can breathe and live.
Like lovelier things, deluded flower,
Thy date is short; the very hour
That sees thee flourish, sees thee fade;
Thy blush, thy being, all a shade.
Yet, flower, I'll lay thee on a shrine,
That makes thy very death divine.
Couch'd on bed of living SHOWS,
Then breathe tiny last, too happy rose!
Sweet Queen. thou'Iu die upon a throne,
Where even thy sweetness is outdone;
Young weeper. thou close thine eyes
Besides the gates OF Paradise.
On my dallas bosom, thou,
Beneath the lusters of her brow,
Like pilgrims, all their sorrows past,
On Heaven their dying glances cast,
Thy crimson beauty shall recllne,
