ELECTIONS.

Ihaye in each three annual messages, which
it has been my duty to submit to congress,
called attention to the evils and dangers con-
nected with our election methods and practices
as they are related 10 the choice OF oticers OF
the national government In my last annual
message endesvored to invoke serious stten-
tons to the evils Of unfair apportionments for
congress. cannot close this message without
again calling attention to these grave and
threatening evils. / had hoped that II was DOS
sible TO secure non.psrtisan inq uiry by means
Of commission into evils the existence OF which
is known to all and that out Of that might grow
legislation from which all thought Of partisan
advantage should be eliminated and only the
higher thought appear Of maintaining the free
dom and purity Of the ballot and the equality
OF the elector without the guaranty Of which
the government could never have been formed
and without the continuance Of which il cannot
continue TO exist in peace and prosperity. 1t is
Tune that the mutual charges Of unfairness and
fraud between the great parties should cease
and that the sincerity Of those who profess a
desire for pure and honest elections should be
brought to the test Of their willingness to free
our legislation and our election methods from
everything mat tends TO i'm pair the public con.
ndence In the announced result The necessity
Tor an inquiry and for legislation by congress
upon this subject is emphized by the fact that
the tendency Of the legislation in some states
in recent years has in some important parti-
culars away from and not toward free and
tair elections and equal appointments Is Il
not time that we should come together upon
the high plane Of patriotism while we devise
methods that shall secure the right Of any man
Qualified BY law to cast a fare ballot and TO give
every such ballot an equal value in choosing
our public officers and in directing the policy OF

A SWIFT CHINAMAN
Runs Down William EIliott's
 Colt
And Breeds a Dispute Concerning International Law and
 Astronomy.

An unusual case came up in Judge
 Huson's court the other day. |
 was damage suit brought by William Elliott against An Gee, a Chinaman, fol damages. The defendant was charged with having caused the death of coll owned by the plaintiff and which was valued at $50. Another peculiarity o the case is that more points of law arc likely to be brought out in the casS than there are dollars involved.
 An Gee was an indifferent and inex. perienced driver and Elliott was the owner of a team hitched to a wood wagon with trailing wagon attached. The colt was also attached. An Gee came along at a rate of speed which would have made Maud s. hesitate. He struck the colt, knocked it under one of the wagons which passed over it and killed it.
 The attorney for the defense set up that he and An Gee had right to travel at any rate of speed which might suit their needs and convenience, and it is the religious duty of colts and other ob- structioDs to remove themselves from the Celestial right-of-way. Mir. Elliott's attorney argues that it was a reprehen- sible case of trespass,as he and his client were not only entitled to the road but to eighteen inches on each side of it, which the irresponsible colt would occupy.
 He also admitted the right of the de- fense to drive through illimitable space as fast they could, otherwise an action might be brought against the suu and other heavenly bodies which appear to travel at a rate not provided for in the city ordinances, but he insisted that the earth belonged to many different per sons and that an undue acceleration of speed was calculated to shorten both human and equine life contrary to the which, if not already made, ought in such cases to be made and pro- vided.
 He further contended that white man had certain inalienable rights guar anteed to him under the constitution which even Chinaman was bound to respect.
 Judge Huson asked time for the con sideration of this matter. He wished to make study of ithe rapidity of the motion of the heavenly bodies and also to inquire into the terms of the Bur Iingame treaty.
