AUSTRALIAN BALLOT LAW.
Important Question Answered by
Secretary Fessenden.
Right of Glass Towns to Apportion Repre-
sentatives Not Affected.

Right of Glass Towns to Apportion Repre-
sentatiyes Not Affected.
Secretary of State Fessenden has is
sued the following circular:
OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE,
AUGUSTA, June 1, 1892.
am so frequently asked one particu-
lar question as to the correct method of
procedure under the Australian Ballot
Law, that L am compelled to answer it
by this circular, not having sufficient
time at my disposal to answer it by let
let.
Question: ''Haye Towns in, or parts
OF, Glass District right, under this
law, to apportion among themselves the
years OF Legislative Service, which have
been apportioned to such District by the
Legislature, as has been largely the GUS
tom heretofore in many localities?"
While could wish that this question
might be answered by the Supreme
Court, rather than by myself, neverthe-
less, as this law places upon me the duty
OF determining as to the regularity, for
mality and sutficieney of all nomination
certificates, from which official ballots
are to be printed, perhaps it is proper for
me to answer it, in advance, and before
any Glass District Conventions have been
held, and I accordingly answer it as fol-
lows:
First-Towns, or part of an electoral dis
trict or division" Ia class district being such
district or diyison) have never by lol0, had such
right The practice has existed by custom and
by custom only, because, prior to the passage
or this law, there has been no law regulating
party nominating conventions.
Second-This law does recognize nomi-
mating conventions and give such con-
yentons legal status which before
they have never had, and it also defines what
such conventions are to represent, to wit: an
electoral district or division" OF the State that
created and defined By laso. Not an electoral
district or Sub-district' carved out by stom or
consent of parts OF such district or division, I'M
sanctioned by Legislative approval.
tricts or divisions" as such districts exist by
out, agreements between themselves,
which amount to re-apportioning among the
towns comprising such electoral district the
years Of Legislative service assigned to the
whole district, they must do So outside this Ed1D
relying as always heretofore, upon the good
faith OF the various parties to the agreement;
Tor up to this date, can lind no authority what
ever, in this law, which authorizes me to accept
as regular and sufficient, party nomination
eerthcate which purports to come from any
less than convention representing the party OF
an electoral district or division as such ''eIec-
torol district dSv&sio1s' EXISTS By laa0. To be
received by me, all political party nomination
certificates, on their lace, must atpoTt to come
from co7eUe7etio7o Of such parry held IN, and
representing the aOlCote, not part OF any such
electoral district or DIVISION" whatever the
actual practice among the towns or parts of
such district may be, as to (which practice as
sumo that am under no obligation whatever to
inquire.

DIR. Howe and tho prussians.

1t was his presence of mind, when ar
rested and imprisoned by the Prussian
government on suspicion of befraending
unhappy Poland, that taught DR.. Howe
what to do with the importantpapers he
carried. In the minute during which he
was left alone, before the officials came
to search him, he thrust the documents
up into the hollow head of bust of the
king of Prussia which stood on shelf;
then tore some unimportant papers into
the smallest possible fragments and
threw them into basin of water which
stood close at hand.
Next day the fragments carefully
pasted together were shown to him,
hours having been spent in the painful
and laborious task, but nobody thought
OF looking for more papers in the head
of the King Friedrich Wilhelm.
DR.. Howe, though nothing could be
proved against him, might have Ian
guished long inthat Prussian prison had
it not been forfthe exertions of fellow
countryman. This gentleman had met
him in the street the day before, had
asked his address and promised to call
on him. Inquiring for him next day at
the hotel, he wasytold that no such per-
son was or had been there. Instantly
suspecting foul play, this good friend
went to the American minister and told
his story. The minister took up the
matter warmly and called upon the
Prussian officialssto give up his country
man. This, after repeated denials of
any knowledge of the affair, they at
length reluctantly consented to do. He
was taken out of prison at night, placed
in a carriage and driven across the bor-
der into France, where he was dismissed
with a warning never to set foot in
Prussia again.--Laura E. Richards in
St. Nicholas.
