The Pennsvlvania Ballots.

Let nobody suppose that Pennsylvania
viii lose her vote next month because she
lacks ballots. There may be but fow
printing Offices in the Keystone Sta te
where such ballots as she needs can be
printed; but that fact does not argue that
New York cannot do the work for her,
Nay. Boston. Cincinnati. Chicago. Buffalo
and numerous other places will lend help
ing hand rather than deprive Pennsylva.
MIA of her elections on the sth of Novem-
Der. We apprehend no such danger. or
rather hope for no such good luck.

Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-01-01

SOME time ago the TRIBUNE received
a communication from an Iowa banker
named Steckel, criticising a decision rem
dered by the Dakota supreme court in
the tax case of Powers Va. Lsrrabee, and
just as the TRIBUNE was getting around
to explain to MI. Steckel that the deci-
sion he objects to was on a case decided
on a law and condition of things away
back in territorial days, out comes the
Fargo Argus, Grand Forks Herald, Chi
cago Tribune and other papers with the
same article and no explanations-which
is not fair either to the court, the state
or MI. Steckel. The decision in question
was against the legality of a tax. sale
wherein the description of the prop.
erty was not technically correct,
and that the party purchasing
such property wal neither entitled to a
tax-title deed or the return Of the money
paid into the treasury for the delinquent
tax. In the tax-sale in question the
descriptions we're published as follows:
".N2, Sw4" and E4, 81" This the court
held not to be a legal description. The
court did not hold that "NH, Sw4"-
using fractions instead of figures 20"
and "4"-were not proper descriptions
as appears III the Steckel letter as pub
lished in some papers. The territorial
revenue law was entirely different from
the one now in effect. In territorial days
the tax-title shark got 80 per
cent. interest and because of
this enormous rate of interest
bought at his peril. This was right.
All. Of this has been changed. Under
our present excellent revenue law a
penalty of 5 per cent. is added and a
rate Of only Is per cent. per annum al
lowed to the purchaser of delinquencies,
and the investment is made absolutely
safe because OF the provision that in
case Of error or Judgment OF the court the
purchaser, il not entitled to a deed, may
have his money refunded, with interest
at the rate OF 10 per cent, North Dako,

If there ever was a just cause for
grievance the fourth class postmasters
of the United States have il. They are
poorly paid servants of the people and
the continuation of this condition of
things will tend to a disastrous demon
lization of the postofice service in the
rural districts. Before we ask for l cent
postage we had better improve the SER
vice. Next month a national convention
of fourth class postmasters is to be held
in Washington and congress will be
asked to take some action looking to
their relief and the betterment of the
service. Conventions were held Tues
day in nearly all the states at the state
capitals to select delegates to the
national convention. North Dakota's
delegates are Messrs. A. M. Miller of
New Rockford and Fred Holritz of
Sims.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-01-01

In speaking of the Great Northern's
attitude OF the land grant question and
the eviction of settlers the Pembina Pho
neer Express says:
We make a guess and, of course, we may
be wrong. but because the Great Northern
cannot get title to the lands they claim
without long and expensive litigation of
perhaps doubtful outcome, and because
they could not evict the settlers without
creating an animosity to the road which
would be expensive and troublesome, there
fore. we guess that the Great Northern
would prefer to have congress give them
land elsewhere which would come to them
easier, and when the trouble is taken into
consideration will be just as valuable.
Hence the Great Northern is. anxious
that the settlers hold meetings, and by pc
titiOns and otherwise assist the railroad IN
obtaining those indemnity lands. The set
tiers will, 70 doubt, be willing, on the same
principle as ARENAS Ward, who was
willing to have the rebellion put down,
even if it cost the lives of all his wife's re-
lationS.

A WASHINGTON correspondent, in 81.

A WASHINGTON correspondent, in siz-
ing up the house on the silver question,
says that Hon. M. N. Johnson, of North
Dakota, was elected on a platform, one
of the leading features of which was the
free silver plank. This is far from the
truth. The platform upon which Mr..
johnson was elected says: "We fully ap-
prove Of the wise action Of the republi-
can members of both branches of con-
gress in fulfilling the pledges of the party
in legislating upon the coinage Of silver"
There is q great deal of difference be
tween this and free coinage. MI. John
son is all right on this question. He
recently gave vent to the following ex-
preston: Il

IT is a fact of ~incalculable importance,
says Jos. B. Bishop in the January
Forum, that the approaching Presiden-
tial election will be decided for the first
time in the history of the country by a
secret ballot, thirty-three states now
having adopted it. All the states in
which money has heretofore been used
most freely for corrupt purposes in such
elections will vote in November under
the new system. There can be no intim-
ldatlon of voters in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island or Ohio; no "blocks of
i've can be marched to the polls in
Indiana; and whatever 'soap" may be
used in Maine, New Hamshire, New
York or West Virginia will have to be
distributed in blind faith that the recip-
tents will keep their bad bargain and
vote as they are bribed. 1t follows that
in this campaign the professional cor
ruptionists will be less in demand as the
chairmen of campaign committees than
heretofore, because they will be less USE
full. Although the method of secret
voting known as the Australian system,
was introduced into the United States
only five years ago, it has now been
adopted in thirty-three states in the
union. The rapidity with which this
system has been adopted in every part
of the union is without a parallel in the
history of reform movements in the
United States. Almost every state of
Importance, except some Of the southern
states, now has a secret ballot law on it's
statute books, and some of them have it
in their constitutions. It is a singular
fact that the southern states have been
the hindmost instead of the foremost in
this movement, because the secret ballot
would undoubtedly in practice disfran-
chise a large part of the ignorant voters
in the south.
