system of voting and the ignorance and
careessuess of the voters.
So far as secrecy is concerned the new
method OF voting is secret for those who can
mark their own votes, but never has it been
so easy to watch the illiterate vote, especial
ly for town representation, as under tho
present system. The same amount OF cleo
tioneering is done before election as former

FulIer-Cholera Considered.


FulIsr-Cholere Considered.
The State Board of Hoolth consisting OF
DR.. G. s. Caverly of Rutland, president,
DR.. j. II. hamilton of Bichford, secretary,
and DR.. o. W. Eherwin OF Woodstock held
n meeting at the Van Ness House Friday.
Gov. Page end Gov-elect Fuller and
Or. c. j.. Branch Of Newport were
present. The only thing considered
was cholera, and that was discussed
at length. DR.. Hamilton said that in case
there should be an outbreak of the epidemic
in Canada no thought it advisable for the
governor to issue proclamation prohibit
ting immigration into the State. lie an-
ticipa,ed that cholera would got foot
hold in Montreal if the authorities of
OF that city did not act ct once The
real danger, however, will come next year.
The question then erose as to what was an
outbreak one or a dozen cases. DR.. Caverly,
in expressing his opinion for the advice of
the governor, said tho way to handle chol-
era was to begin vigorously and on time. In
that way the spreading Of the disease could
undoubtedly be prevented. Tho board rea-
sOning that the strict quarantine az Boston
and New York harbors was surely going to
divert inmiGr lion, to a largo extent, to
Canada aud as Canada is not likely to es-
tcbiish as rigorous q quarantine as the
United States, the danger Of immigrants
getting over the border is all tho greater.
1t was generally agreed that il cholera
breaks out in Canada nlarmingiy, 1t

issue proclamation stopping communica-
ton entirely and calling on the towns

ing about the final disposition of
the matter. The case was dismissed
on the grounds that the complaint is six
years old and docs not deal with the present
state Of things that the visitors
believed that the best interests of the
seminary did mot require reopcning

lie would be unable to understand the equity

Smyth after the four other professors had

Tho New Ballot in Arkansas and
Vermont.


Vermont.
Vermont voters in many instances ex-
perienced no small degree OF difficulty in
handling the secret ballot but their trials
and tribulotons at the polls must have
been smell as compared with those Of the
illterate citizens Of Arkansas, if reports
from that State are correct. Col. Whipple,
the republican candidate for governor, has
described at length the clumsiness and
cumbersomeues5 Of tho Australian ballot
system Is adopted in Arkansas and he shows
that the mode of rolling and especially tho
form Of the ballot in use there are well
calculated to ombsrrass and clog the work
Of balloting. lie says:
The ticbet--nn omnibus one, two feet
long-lrst presented to the voter when he
entered the booth, contained in this lpulas-
kD county no names. The voter WINS au-
thorized to vote for but fifty candidates,
and was required 10 erase froin the ticket
sixty names during the small space Of i've
minutes, under penealtv Of being denied u
vote. TO do this properly required tho eX-
animation OF oil the ! 10 names on the tick
ct 1t was tax even upon the most alert
| Again, il the voter could not read his tick
/ et the law required that while the election
officer, who alone could assist him, was
making the tedious examination Of his ticket
with him not only the polling room but al
the booths likewise should be cleared. This
was a serious interruption TO the voters.
These provisions in tho ballot law of
Arkansas will strike the average reader as
being somewhat remarkable and it is DIFF
fcult 10 account for their incorporation in
the MEASURE. Especially is this true of the
time limit, which must have been aimed
directly at the ''poor white trash" and the
colored voters. This suggests the fact that
no matter what charges may be laid at the
doors OF the republicans OF Vermont it can
not be claimed with any show of reason
that ballot law was adopted by their
which would work to tho detrment O.
the minority, there being ample provision
for all classes o. voters who had the courage
to use the new aud wonderfully made in
strument Of suffrage. 1t is evident that Q
large portion Of the detective ballots re-
suited from lack OF experience in its use
rather than from illiteracy, and diflidenc,
undoubtedly kept many OF those at home
who did not vote. When Nermonts ballot
law is properly amended different result
from that which Was recorded upon its frs
trial will undoubtedly follow its use.

To the Editor Of the rec Press:
The State election is over, and there will
be ample time to view the result in con-
nection with the Australian system of bal
loting before another coming to the polls.
The New York Daily Press rep) in We'd
nesday' issue, referring TO the republican
majority in Vermont, speaks Of the 'de-
result of the falling Oil Of the total vote at
the election. Apropos of this way Of
ballotiug, is there any virtue in it
when the presiding officer, clerk and all the
ballot clerks save ono are democrats at q
freeman'5 meeting, and where voter in
stead OF going outside Of the guard rail after
voting, turns around, leads another voter
to the window near the voting booths as
ssts him to make out his vote, and calmly
walks away When a voter uncbe to mark
another clerk says I'm do 1t, and pulls
the voter away from the first clerk and
accomplishes his purpose? Such was some
OF the fraud perpotrated at the freeman ;
meeting ut Winooski, Sept. q, 1882. The
suggestion has been made that there be two
ballot clerks to assist voter who is unable
to prepare his own ballot, a republican and
democrat. There we're many voters,
ashamed to display their Ignorance by voting
Mt the polls who sad away altogether or
cast a blank vote.

a splendid electrical search light has late
iy been installed a. tho little hotel on the

of s. miles; but the angie transversod by
the light flashes was 1lO miles. Photographic
messages by means of these flashes were
sent from Mount Washington to the West
ern Union Office in Portland, and answers
returned by WIRE
1t would be an interesting experiment to
locate another flush light of equal power on
some elevated point far distant from Mount
Washington, and thus establish fash light
communication in both directions. Long
distance signaling by sunlight by means OF
mirrors has been pract,ced for military
purposes. But this requires that the signaling
stations shall both be in the line of vision.
Moreover, the system can only be worked
during sunshine. With the electric system
il is not necessary that the stations shall be
in the direct line Of vision, as tic sky above
the objective station receives the iilumina-
ton.
