An Easy Way Ont of IT.
|Ouite an animated discussion is
Ding on in the state papers over the
faults of the new ballot law.
81 is said to contain no provision for
bd ditional ballots in the event of no
fhoice of town representative on the
zzrst, and to be otherwise defective.
|An easy way out of the difficulty
|TOuld be the repeal of the whole law
Ind the re-enactment of the old one.

Philosophy and Wisdom In 1t.
The merchant of to-day knows that
xithout wise advertising, extensive
Ind successful business is all but i'm
1t is little amusing to
Eurn back to some old forms of adj
EErtising and compare them with
b If present methods. Take the mat
<Hr of soap, for example. The man
Ter in which innumerable brands of
zap are advertised would lead to
The conclusion that the world is fast
bro wing clean. In the year 1850
Ehe only soap advertisement in the
5rbrld ran thus: civilian Deval at
lie sign of the Angel and Stilliards,
hi. Annes lane, near Aldergate, Lon
Ion, maketh CASTLE, marble and
{white sope as good as any man
Ills; tryed and proved, and sold at
cry reasonable rates" The same
sheet announces that Eat

Some of our Chicago

christmas time, are to say the least
ID rious. But there always will be

The Farmers Know 1T.
There is no doubt that the farmers
ID the United States, and all the
Hates, have heard the news that
here is likely to be an unusually
e rge export of cereals this year, and

Too Much Colorado.
[Colorado grasshoppers are said to
Ibe marching Eastward in ''innumer-
Rble numbers" and destroying every
hing above ground. This is giving
us rather too much Colorado. The
country had already had a super

Pensions for Clerks.
II Postmaster-General Wanamaker
wants a civil pension list established
<n his department whereby superan-
hated clerks may be cared for in old
hge by the government. He says
Ehere are many such now on the

&nent are obliged to look out for

should have the nation look out for

More About the Trout Law.
The St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN
Wants the Herald to understand that
Et did not intend to sheer at the six
EDch trout law, but was rather laugh
ing at it, that in most parts of the
Nate the law is an absolute dead
Ritter, and that it would be "as glad
AS the Herald if the law could be
Faithfully observed everywhere. 1t
n directly within the influence of the
Dish and Game league" and sug-
Eests that there is serious fault with
HE statesmen who have made the
laws already on the statute books
Regarding hsh, and 1nt1mates that
there is yet opportunity for mission
AIRY work right in Rutland county.
NJ AS to this county the CALIFORNIAN
IS entirely right. But good deal
n as been done and more is promised.
The true sportsman's idea is grow
fng, and officers of the league are
active in seeking to enforce the law,
As many persons have found to their
Eost. The Influence" of the league
nd of the newspapers should GER
&ainly be in the same direction, and
The contemporary takes the right
position. The fish should be pro-
ected and multiplied, that they may
give sport and food, instead of being
&xterminated.

neans it is hardly fair to expect
