The Australian Ballot.
Evening Traveller.

The Australian ballot system has been
fully tested, and it is safe to say that it has
come to stay. Some thirty of the forty
four states held their elections under 1t, or
some modification of it, last Tuesday, and
for the most part it must be said to have
worked satisfactorily. The simplest form
of it has proved to be the best. The great
est dissatisfaction has been In the
states where there has been the great
est departure from the simple Au-
strahan system-of simple. official
secret ballot. The few remaining states
clinging to the Old system viii soon fall into
line. Any changes which may be made will,
We take il, be in the direction of simplicity.
1t is an easy thing to learn how to mark a
straight ticket, and vet opinions have diff
cred so much as to the meaning of certain
portions of the new law that they need to
be Strengthened out. The Australian sys-
tenn, however. has come TO stay.

Some very interesting and important fig
ures regarding the gold production of the
world are given by the London Times. The
yield is yearly increasing. and that of 1891
was the largest ever recorded. la round
numbers the production for the last five
years was 1887, ) ,O97 800 ounces. 1883,
5 25l 900 ounces; 1889, 5,6il 900 ounces /;
is9o, 3. $50 900 ounces, and 1891, 6,033. 900
ounces. The chief feature of recent years
has been the development Of the Wi,wst-
ersrand gold fields. In 1889 IL was only
80 ,so7 ounces, il was in 1891 129 ,2l3
ounces The total for the whole Transvaal

ply. Al present the nations stand United
States, 1, 5s6, 800 ounces Australia. ,4G9.-
200 ounces Russia. | ,0la 900 ounces: but
it is expected that in 1898 the Transvaai
will reach the second place. II is a curious
reflection that the little state formed by
men whose only desire was to get away
from civilization, and lead a patriarchal
life. untouched by outside influence, should
end in being fell by the greatest gold mine
the world has ever seen.

press and is coming to be shared TO larger

so, when men can be forced into intellect

logy, sociology or politics. The world is
wiser today, and naturally so, than it has
ever been before. We should be sorry to be-

strange, a deplorahlc condition of affairs if
any age were given power TO create monlds

His lament was called out by the fact
that tor some days past it looked as
though Capt. Frank Williams. the rep
reSentatiye of the Olympic club of New
Orleans, had come North on useless
Grand. Charley Mitchell refused to
meet Jim Corbett for purse of $4,000,
and his, sparring, partner, Frank
Slavin, also declined the tempting offer
of SIS, 600 to meet Corbett.
Then he offered $4,000 purse for
go between Corbett and Peter Maher,
but COrbett properly refused to meet
Maher on the grounds that the latter
had never fought first-class man. An
SS,000purSe was then offered for battle
between Corbett and Bob FitZsimmons
but COrbett refused to meet middle
weight. Then s., 800 purse was offered
for a fight between Fitzsimmons and
Maher, but "FitZ" declined to meet
Maher. considering him "second
rater.''
The next move was to offer an $4,000
purse for battle between FitZSimmonS
and Jimmy Carroll, of Brooklyn, who
is now preparing to go over to England
to meet Ted Pritchard, the champion of
that country. 'FitZ," however, re-
fused to meet Carroll, and in conse-
quence thereof, was dropped by the
New Orleans club.

telegraphed to Mr.. Sage. While await
ing an answer he hunted up Jack Nc

offer of a $4,000 purse to fight Billy
Meyer, the Streator Cyclone, who once

ST. Louis, No, Jan. 16.-A dispatch
from Pittsblrg states that Jack Glass
cock is not happy nan. and that he
does not want to come to st. Loais, but
is anxious TO g. to Chicago, all on ac-
cOun. OF advance money promised him
by the st. Louis president. 1t says that
when GlasscOck was signed for ST.

$1,000 advance money; $500 was paid to
him upon signing, and he was to have
received $500 in January and $500 late
in March. 1t further states that Won
der Abe will not pay any more advance
money. Every word of the above is UNI
true. SO far as GlaSScock'S coming to st.
Louis is concerned.
Your correspondent has received a
letter from the great shOrt-StOp recently
in which he says that he has been fairly
treated by Won der Abe i'll every deal
ing, and furthermore, that he is glad
that he is coming TO ST. Louis, as he
knows that he will be we'll treated here
by both the press and public. The let
ter is now in your correspondents pos
session and can be produced. President
Won der Abe was seen tonight and
asked about the Pittsburg special. He
said: There is nothing in it. Glass
cock will be treated properly by the st.
Louis club, and he knows it. What
ever advance money we have agreed to
pay him Will be Forthcoming at the proper
time. Jack is nobody's fool, and if the
st. Louis club. or any one else, has
promised to pay him certain sum at a
stipulated time he will come pretty near
collecting it.
