During the thunder storm on
Thursday afternoon the dwelling of
Hr. VIM. Nj Mcylert, on Cherry St,
which is occupied by Mr.. Ettinger
and the residence Of e. NJ. Durham,
on Muncy ST., were struck by light
ming. The former was set on fire in
the attic, but the flames were extin-
guished before any serious damage
was done. Several posts about the
porch were splintered. The Dan
ham residence was struck on each
four corners and the weather boards
slightly damaged, The larger part
of the current struck in front of the
building, tearing up and srlintering
the board walk leading to the sou th
yard gate. From this point the
current followed the wire fence
to the gate which opens on
Muncy ST., demolishing it in many
pieces. The damage, all told, was
very slight.

well Done.

IF ever such plaudit as this one
of "Well done" should greet a pubs
lie servant at the close Of his term
of services sure is it that the air
should be made vocal with such a
sound from one end of the State to
the other just now, when Governor
Nichols is about to turn over to his
successor the helm Of the ship of
State, which he has guided with
steady and accomplished hand on
the rudest, stormest voyage she has
ever made. When darkness lowered
almost to a pail upon us, and the
bravest and hopefullest well nigh
despaired that we should ever reach
port in safety, it was the voico of
onr mighty Pilot that sounded above
the roar OF storm ard breakers bid.
ding US be Of good cheer and to stand

argy grew into daring and action
and thanks unto Francis Tillou
Nichols, more than to any other
man. we have weathered the storms
and tempestnous seas, and our gal.
liant vessel is moored in haven of
peace and safety, sturdy enough, we
hope and believe, to sail on her
voyages, happy ones, may they be,
forever.
Metaphor aside, Gov. Nichols is,
in our opinion, one of the few of the
worlds heroes. In every part he
has been called upon to play, wheth
er as the leader Of soldiers on the
battlefield and in long ard arduous
campaigns, or amid the equally fierce
strife of political warfare. his pre-
sepce, like the white plume Of Henry
Of Navarro, has been where the bat
tie ragged thickest, and his voice
and counsel have rallied fainting
cohorts. He is .'facile princeps"
among the men who have so glorious
ly succeeded in oyertlwowing that
abominatioh of desosation, the Lou.
isiana Lottery Company, and for
this alone. if for nanght else, his
name and fame will be as imperish-
able as the bronze that shall surely

A DisTlanest Editor.

It was at Lincoln, ILL.,, that a re-
ligious revival was in progress, and
the evangelisf2 after a powerful
sermon on tht Christian duty Of
debt'paying, called upon all the
members of the congregation who
paid their debts to stand up. The
congregation rose almost to man.
After they were seated the evangelist
invited those who did not pay their
debts to stand. A solitary, forlorn-
looking individual rose to his feet,
and explained that while he found
himself in that category very un-
willingly, he could not help himself,
as he was the editor and proprietor
of the local paper and could not pay
up, as all the congregation owed him
their subscriptions. Such a flood of
money as poured into that Office the
next morning had never been known
in the history of the paper.

Another Currency EilI.

The following bill, prepared by
Col. Livingston, is reported to have
been unanimously agreed upon for
increasing the currency, at cons
ference of the Alliance members Of
Congress. 1t provides as follows:
The Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized and directed, upon the
demand Of any State expressed
through its Governor, to issne to it
full legal tender notes of the Govern
ment of like denominations as the
treasury notes now issued and in
circulation, and non-interest bear
ing. These notes are not to exceed
in amount $50 per capita Of the
population of the State as expressed
in the census preceding the demand.
The state making a demand for
the notes is to deliver TO the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury its lawful bonds
to the full amount Of government
notes demanded, and snch bonds are
to be taxable at per cent, per an.
mum, said tax to be covered into q.
S. Treasury on or before the first
day OF April Of each year. The
bonds are to fall due at the expira.
tion of twenty years. 1t is provid
ed, however. that the State taking
advantage Of the act shall have the
right to turn over to the Secretary
of the Treasury the full amount or
any part thereof Of government notes
issued to il at any time before the
bonds fall due, or, in lieu of the
government notes, the State may re-
duce the bonds with lawful money.
and when such notes are thus paid
into the Treasury they are to be
destroyed. Each State, through its
legislative department is to dispose
of the government notes issued
upon securities furnished by it on
such terms as the Legislature may
deem best for the welfare of the in
hahitants.

Its substantial requirements are
as follows: Ballots are to be pro-
vided at public expense; none but
these ballots are to be used; on them
are,to be printed the names of all
candidates who are nominated either
by conventions or petitions a short
period prior to the election; the bal.
lots are to be distributed only by
sworn ballot clerks, at the polls, to
voters, and for actual and immedi.
ate use in voting; the voter is al.
lowed FIVE minutes in which to retire
into a booth conveniently arranged,
where he secretly marks his choice
of candidates upon the face of the
ballot, or. if he prefers, writes the
names of candidates of his own
nomination in place Of those whose
names are already printed; having
done this lie proceeds directly to
the ballotbox, and, without exposing
the face of the ballot, or communi-
eating with any one, deposits the
ballot as his vote. For the benefit
of the blind aud illiterate, such q
voter is permitted to select one of
the two ballot clerks, who, under
oath Of fidelity and secrecy, assists
him to mark his ballot.
New Jersey has adopted the sYs-
TEN, but gives each party its own
form of ballot. New York's law
has similar notifications. In neith-
er State is provision made for the
blind or illiterate. There are two
methods Of grouping the names on
the tickets and both have been tri-
ed. The FIRST Of these is the English,
or more properly the original Aus
tralian style Of alphabetical arrange
ment of The names Of the candidates
under the title of the Office. This
is used by the following States:
California, Kentucky. Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Tennessee. Vermont: Washington
and Wyoming.
The second is known as the Bell
gian system, and consists Of group.
ing all nominations and Offices by
parties. It is used in Missonri, Ohio,
Wisconsin. Delaware. Illinois, In
diana, Maine, Maryland aud Okla
homa Territory.
In addition to its reform law,
Massachusetts, has a bell and some
mechanism in each ballotbox, which
registers and cancels the votes.
This apparatus was adopted before
the ballot reform law was proposed
and has proved to be a most useful
and practical arrangement. A bill
will be passed in Iowa before the
present legislature dissolves au,hor.
