report Of the Banking Department. Of
which an abstract is furnished in our

lions have shown net increase in wages
of SG.3T7 ,925 for 1891 over 1870 in
the industries for which he has received
returus. This is unmttakable evidence
of the prosperity of the wage-eiruers.-
If they are undoubtedly saving large
portion Of the increased surplus. 1t
would be natural to look for large in
crease in the deposits in the savings
banks, and in Superintendent Prcston's
report this evidence is found. The in
crease in deposits during the last six
months exceeds $4,000, 900, and the
gain since January l, 1850, is $780,

The conduct Of the State Of Tennessee,
in leasing out its convicts like slaves,
has recoiltd upon it with terrible severi-
ty. The system is a brand upon our
civilization and the principal wonder is
that intelligent mine-owncrs would en-
courage it. They did, however, and
the State, which greedily sought to
avail itself of 100000 BY traffic in hu-
man flesh, will now have to pay a good
deal more than that sum to repair its
damaged reputation. The lesson of fair
play to all men is hard to learn, yet it is
one that may be learned to advantage
by the powerful in their dealings with
the weak and unfortunate. Scranton

A Bombshen mr Mr. Cleveland.

Had bomhslcll dropped into tn.
Democratic camp from a clear SKI. il
would not have sent greater eonsterna-
ton into the hears of the Cleveland
Democrats than did the ninth annual re-
port of the New York Dehoc allie Com
missioner Of the Bureau Of Labor Sta

Gently. Senltor Hill anil his admire r,

satisfaction caused by this nnanswernhle
statement with erinnins countenaHc,s
They bear no loyc for NJ. Cleveland
and have not forgotten the insults heap
ed upon them at Syracuse and Chicago
by the Cleveland faction. They look
with evident relish upon the true state
ment which Mr. Peek presents of the
prosperous condition Of affairs, feeling
that that statement bristles with stub
born facts which the Cleveland men ,an-
not shake. The Republicans ay the
statements made by Mr. Peck carry
great weight.
Mr.. Peck's totals show q ne. increase
in wages for 1891 over 1890 of &c.
377 .925. and a net iucreasein products,
in New York State, during the same Pc
riod. of S5l.3l5,13o. The report OF
Mr.. Peck shows only partially the pros
perity Of the country under the protec-
tive tariff No better arguments are
needed for the Eorkingn,an than these
continued favorable reports Of business
and the better condition Of the wage
earners.
Commission Peek talkel freely to
newspaper reporters and gave as rea-
son for selecting the tariff as the subject
for his ninth annual report that it espe-
cially Affected the working classes III,
had found that the statements Of the
Democratic speakers were not borne out
BY facts. Governor Campbell had said
that not single workman's wages had
been raised as the result Of the McKin-
ley act. MY reports show that there
were just 2S5, 900 men in this State
whose salaries were raised as the result
of this law" asserted the Commissioner.
Mr. Peek added thnt be was free to ad-
mt TINT his report was not in harmony
with the platform adopted AT Chicago, |
in SO far it related to the subject of the
tariff However, his report was as he
had found the condition Of affairs.

THE METHOD OF VOTING.


An Important Decision by the California
supreme Court On tho Subject.
Constitutional lawyers are discussing the de-
clsion rendered by the Supreme Court of Cal.
iforna on the election question, says the Den.
yer Republican. 1t Is one OF great Importance.
A mandamus was asked for by citizen TO
compel the election commissioners TO give
mon partisan ticket heading on the official
ballots, according to the Australian system.
The court, without dissenting opinion,
gave decision on constitutional grounds, and
declared the provision Of the California po-
litical code for the printing Of party heads
for the convenience Of voting straight
ticket to be void and imperative. The
amended code provides that only parties that
bad cast per cent. Of the entire vote at the
last election are entitled to have headings up
on their tickets. The court held that this
was discrimination against classes OF voters
and further that the manner Of voting
straight ticket Is unconstitutional.
As to how the voting should take place the
decision says:
There should be no party designations
printed ut the head Of tie tickets, because
there can be no voting by stamping such dcs.
ignation.
''Notcrs can only express their choice by
placing a stamp opposite the name OF their
candidate for such office or their answer TO
each question or proposition or proposed
amendment to the constitution, except only
IN case Of presidential electors, who may un.
der the law be voted for In groups by single
impression Of the stamp.
.slnce this Is the only mode by which
voter can express his choice, the printing Of
party designation at the head Of the ticket
could do no good, but only harm by misleading
some voters and causing them TO lose their
votes. The officers charged with the prepare.
ton Of the official ballots should, therefore,
be careful To omit the printing of such head.
ings, and the voters should be thoroughly In.
structed To express their choice In the manner
here Indicated"
The question Is whether the heading and
the emblcms Of the parties on the official bal
lot OF Colorado are Illegal or whether cross
ought to be placed after each name To be
voted fort The provisions Of the election
law Of this state do not discriminate 80 far az
the Official ballot goes for every party that
can get petition signed by 800 voters gets
the ticket on the official ballot, the same as
the two great parties, but the California de-
cislou is very plain and pointed regarding the
placing Of n cross under the designation Of
the ticket rs signifylng nothing.
The full decision Of the court was only n.
ecivcd yesterday, and II 10 being eagerly con.
sldered. II Il the frat decision Of the kind.
In the eouniy elections held In this state n
