Ballot Reform is not making much
progress at Harrisburg. There is evil
IDENTITY a determination on the part of
some of the Senators to kill the Baker
bill by delaying action upon it, but those
Senators may depend that the people are
keeping sharp watch upon them. The
ballot reform bill should not be laid
aside to make way for the Constitutional
Convention measure. Both ought to be
passed. If the Baker bill is side.tracked
under the pretense that the side-trackers
are anxious to bring about ballot reform
by amending the Constitution, the matter
will go over for two years, at least.
There is, undoubtly, an almost
unanimous sentiment in Pennsylvania in
favor of ballot reform, and while the
people recognize that thoroughly
efficient system Of voting cannot be
adopted until the Constitution is amended
they cannot be hoodwinked by the on
ponents of the Baker bill. AS much of
ballot reform as it is possible to have
under the Constitution as it now is should
be provided, and when the proposed
amendments are made thorough secrecy
of the ballot and personal registration
can be added,

The Junior Band of Hazleton Disbanded.

/ The Hazleton Plain Speaker of the 2lst
/ inst. in commenting on the disbanding
of the Junior Band of that place, among
other things has this to say:
"The conditions of dissolution We're
/ that each member was to retain the
/ instrument he was playing at the
/ time, and in addition receive pro rata
| division of the total cash funds in the
| treasury increased by like division of
the funds acquired by the sale of the
| instruments, and so forth. This gave
each member S54 and his instrument at
least, and those having cash were able to
| drive a good bargain in buying some of
| the instruments. 1t is said that an $50
/ instrument was sold for 81 cents, and
| that almost similar sacrifice resulted
/ from the sale of other instruments. The
| property of the Society was valuable,
| and some people claim it was an unwise
and impoitc thing to allow it to pass
out of the Hazleton organization so long
as there were enough members in the
I town to hold the organization together
under the provisions of its charter.
| What personal motives prompted them
/ to the disband act is not matter for
1 consideration. but it is too bad that the
! people of the town must lose the pleasure
of the open air concerts that for years
past they so heartily enjoyed, because
some one blundered. OF course, some
! people don't like it."
The TRIBUNE joins in the sorrow felt
at its dissolution. The organization in
| question was one that any town should
feel proud of, and we sincerely hope that
the citizens of Hazleton will take steps
to have it reorganized. True, it takes
years of labor and hard study, not taking
into account the financial part of the
business, to make band success. That
| this was not the cause we are certain,
for in our vast experience in such mat
ters we know of no two towns where the
people are so liberal in contributing
towards their home bands than Hazleton
and Freeland.
Freeand has two bands that its citizens
are proud of, and we hope it may be a
long time before we are called upon to
chronicle the dissolution of either of
/ them

Already such progressive Republican Sena,

have openly and manfully served notice on

Y The general reader will see frequent
mention of the ''cloture' in relation to Con.
gressional action. The "cloture' is a term
imported from England by our House ot
Lords in Washington. "Cloture" literally
means closure. that is, closure of debate.
Practically it is the same thing as the pre-
vious question. 1t is resort to shut off de
bate SO as to get rid of troublesome min:
ority and to enable the majority to ride
roughly and heedlessly over the rights OF
others and enact such measures as it pleases.
But in our Senate the proposition to shut of
debate is debatable indefinitely and the
Democratic Senators should not yield an iota
of their rights.

The Ne1oS, which politically is neither this

ing little else than that which is bad for the
partisan press. We again. in all sincerity,
ask for the name of the NeOs correspondent
from this place, who is sending buckets of
slush and mud to that sheet, where it receives
ready market and is even expatiated upon
through its editorial columns. Give us the
name and ten to one you hold up to the gaze
of the good citizens of Henry county an ir-
responsible fellow who is simply venting his
spite or is smart aleck upon general princi-

wMr. Harrison will find, ifhe still per-
sists in retaining the Force bill as his person
al platform for '92, that his following will not
amount to corporal's guard. Public opin-
ion, irrespective of party, has been opposed
to the bill since its first introduction in the
House, and the month which the Senate has
thrown away uponit, at the expense of more
important legislation, has intensified the op.
position. Besides this the Republican press
has, almost without exception, been indiffer-
ent about the fate of of the bill.

.B-T The twenty five white men who were
killed by the Indians at Wounded Knee
Creek were worth more to this country than
every Indian there is in it, and the United
States government is directly responsible for
their deaths, as it has been by reason of the
negligence or open connivance of the agents
of the government that the Indians have
come into possession of the rifles and am
munition which enabled them to kill the
soldiers. How long shall this farce be kept
up? The Indian spends all of his time, when
on the reservations, in preparing to kill the
whites, and the whites furnish them the
means to do it. Turn the Indians over to the
army and they will be kept in proper state
of subsection, unless they agree to go to work
like other people, which they will never do.
But whatever is done, it should be made i'm
possible for the entire brood of Indians to
kill any more white men. That much the
people have right to demand.
