CHANGES IN VOTING,

In thirty-five States the votes at this
years Presidential election will be cast
under the Australian system with various
notifications. This is a great change
since the last election, and its actual
working on a large scale will be watched
with good deal of interest. Weak in de-
tail, and unjust to some sections of
voters as the laws are in some cases, and
intricate and difficult of comprehension
though their requirements be, they are on
the whole distinct advance toward the
pure exercise of the franchise.
Of course the so-called practical" poll
tician, who makes living by the buying
and selling OF birthrights, will manage in
many instances to circumvent the new
laws as he has those of the past. But
the difficulties in his way are greater than
have existed heretofore, and the risk of
detection and punishment is correspond
ingly greater. In States where the parties
are at all evenly balanced the actual effect
will be hard to detect as agents of both
parties have in many such cases practiced
corruption. But the moral effect will be
none the less felt and any tendency to-
ward publication of voting is devoutly
to be wished

THE ENGLISH CAMPAIGN.

The ill-behavior and virulence SO
largely manifested in the English electoral
campaign are attracting attention on all
sides. Of course the leading issue-and
one of such importance as to dwarf all
others almost to the degree of invisibility
is whether Home Rule shall or shall not
be granted to Ireland. The change of
feeling on this question throughout Great
Britain during the last six years has been
enormous, and very few sane per-
sons entertain any doubt as to the
result of the election. But, though the
enthusiasm on this subject is great, it is
not sufficient to account for the existing
conditions. And, although men of stand
ing which should warrant certain degree
of craftsmanship in their behavior have
descended to the depth of demagogy to
infame dangerous passions, their action
has not been enough to provoke the prev
alent bitterness.
In addition to and over and above these
causes there is the distasteful element Of
personality. 1t is distasteful, but under
the circumstances it is well-nigh inevita-
BILE. Gladstone towers so far above
his cotemporary compatriots, he has
such an inviolable record for honest pur-
pose and pure action, and he has been
before the country so long, that the whole
fight centers to an enormous extent on his
personality. The measure before the
people goes for much, but this colossus of
a man goes for more. On the one hand
are the hosts that all but idolize him as
the ancient leader of their forces to vic
tory, no less than as an honest, lovable
man who has shown a readiness
to admit the error of his ways
remarkable in one of his age. These
pray for his safe keeping and resent as
personal insults any disparagement of
him. On the other hand are those who
see in this hale old man the greatest OBJ
stacle in the path of their desires They
judge the man harshly because they fail
to appreciate his single-mindedness No
words are too severe for them in describ-
ing him, no motives too base to ascribe to
him, and if they do not wish his death
they only just stop short of so doing.
The penalty of Gladstone's greatness is
the introduction of hero-worship into the
campaign. Hero-worship involves deep
personal feeling, and from that to bitter
ness and ill-behavior is an almost unavoid-
able step.

PROHIBITIONS PATCHWORK,

Judged alike fro m its past behavior and
from its exhibition of itself and its beliefs
at this years convention, the Prohibition
party is the most paradoxical organization
in the world. Its platform is a thing of
shreds and patches, the parts whereof
have less agreement with one another
than the pieces used by our grandmothers
in the products turned out at their quilt
ing parties of yore. sAnd as whole the
fabric has most inartistic and bizarre
effect which is not even quaint or pict-
uresque.
In IFS delay of proceedings by animated
discussion the Cincinnati gathering sur
passed those of Minneapolis and Chicago,
but the wonder is that its discussions ever
cease by finding some sort of platform
whereon majority of its members can
stand. The planks are regular mosaic
Of parti-colored materials The much
there is to admire in the party's persever-
ance is lost sight of in the more that is OBJ
jectionable in its aims and practice.

SIX MONTHS BUSINESS.

The great reduction of mercantile fail
ures as shown by Brddstreet's report for
the past six months, as compared with the
corresponding periods of the past three
years, is emphatically a matter for con-
graduation. And the matter is the more
encouraging in that the satisfactory indi-
cations are well borne out by a. detailed
analysis of the situation. 1t appears that
conditions of the market, which have on
the surface appeared due to other and less
favorable causes, were in reality nothing
more than witnesses to a prevalent
spirit of prudence. Such a spirit is
something to foster and to be encouraged
by, for its continuance is the greatest safe
guard against such deceptive inflations as
are invariably followed by disastrous COL
lapses.
1t is to be hoped that the number of
failures for the six months Just begun will
show reduction on those just completed,
and, with general progress toward the
gradual extinction of bankruptcy, the
commercial stability of the nation will
become firIner and its prosperity increase
year by year.

NOT THIS YEAR.

The tendency of the galleries to try to
run national conventions has been dis
played this year to such an extent as to
evoke propositions to dispense with the
gallery element altogether. A recon-
mendation that only delegates, members
of the press and of the National Commit
tee should be admitted to future Dem
ocratic conventions was an outgrowth Of
the uproar with which the witnesses Of
the Chicago Convention interrupted its
proceedings.
If the disposition to nominate candidates
by shouts from the spectators, and to
bring the proceedings of the convention to
a standstill by the din of the galleries, is
continued in future conventions, it is
probable that some regulation of the sort
must be adopted. But it will be a step
which the political mind will be extremely
loath to take. Imagine the narrowing posi-
ton of a politician of leading in
fuence who cannot provide his
followers with seats in the galleries
to shout for his cause! Think of the in
vidious task assigned to the man who
must bell the cat by moving to exclude
the popular element from conventions!
Finally, reflect on the hardship to the
orators who must confine their eloquence
to the delegates, most of whom have already
got their instructions-or their price.
No! The shouting, the hat throwing,
the stamping and the waving of paraso Is
may be very inconvenient at times; but
they are so thoroughly engrained in our
political methods that the politicians will
not abolish them so easily as the pending
proposals contemplate.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
P1TTsBuRG. FRIDAY. JULY 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
CONFERENCES YET TO COME.

THE DISPATCH can positively state that
the manufacturers have formally ex-
pressed desire for further conference on
the scale question with the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers.
The conferences of the immediate past
achieved good deal. They have demon
strated the predominance of a business
like desire for a fair and open discussion
of rival claims And it is therefore a
matter for felicitation that the confer
ences are not yet at an end.
By asking for further discussion the en-
ployers show a commendable desire for
conciliation and wish to avoid any re-
course to extreme measures. From previ-
Gus experience it may be assumed that the
Amalgamated Association is possessed of
a corresponding spirit, and it is to be
hoped-and indeed expected-that little
further consideration will bring about
satisfactory adjustment Of the difficulty.
There is only one cloud in the labor
atmosphere, and that hovers over Home
stead. Surely it will blow over and its
shadows prove to be no more than tenn

Why a Partisan Stockbroker Had No Fear
of the Famous Duelist.
London Figaro.1
An amusing story is told of the Marquis de
Mores who recently was successful prin-
clpal in another duel-it is difficult to say
how many he has fought. The narrator Of
the story was dining at the Maison Doree
with stockbroker, a wellto-do fellow, who
cuts very presentable figure in Partisan
life.
While the couple were engaged with their
fish the Marquis de Mores entered, and
favored the stockbroker with a most affable
bow, to which the man of money responded
with an almost contemptuous nod.
How is it." asked his companion. in
amazement, "that you dare affront such a
man-the most inveterate dre-eater in

..Ah, mon ami" replied the broker plac-
idly, 'six months ago should not have
ventured to do it, but now it is different If

THE MATCH FOR THE FUTURE.

There is evidently a question of inter
national supremacy to be settled by bring
ing together Mr.. b. Vane Millbank and
the Marquis de Mores. The gifted French
man is jointly the property of America
and France. He has allied himself with
this country by marriage, has demon
strated his skill with the revolver by
locating lead mines in the most expert of
cowboys, and has proved himself In Paris
to be equally the master of the French
method of politely letting blood. Mr.. 81.
Vane Millbank is an Englishman of the
English, although he has kindly lent his
assistance to one or two purely Yankee
attempts to resort to the field of honor.
Mr.. Millbank has so widely advertised
himself as having done deadly work on
antagonists of various nationalities that he
occupies place of equal prominence with
the eccentric Marquis as an expert in
polite murder.
Under these circumstances it is clear
that an important international question
is only to be answered by submitting the
case Of Millbank versus Mores to the an
cient ordeal by battle We are sure that
when these distinguished combatants un
derstand that the honor of nations calls
for it they will not hesitate to come to-
gether and shoot each other full of lead
or bore holes in each others vital parts
with rapiers. All weapons are the same
to these blood-letting gentlemen; no fields
of honor on the known globe are foreign
TO them. The conclusion seems manifest
that they should be got together at an

A FAMILIAR METHOD.

The method which the imperial and
royal wisdom of Germany and Italy, in
conference at Berlin, devised for extricat-
ing Italy from her present shortness of
funds is redolent of the financial genius of
Wilkins Micawber. The German Govern
ment is to use its influence with bankers
Of Berlin to aid in purchasing Italian
bonds, and if necessary to form syndi-
cate TO float new loan for Italy. Being
thus relieved of embarrassment, Italy will
keep up her immense armament, which
has caused the difficulty.
1t is an old story of the man who, when
one Of his debts came due, would hustle
around till he got a new note discounted,
and then walked out thanking heaven that
the debt was settled The same old way
of paying old debts is fashionable in rail-
way schemes of reorganization, but never
theless it appeals to us with fresh
force when we find the craftsmanship
of the Triple Alliance resorting to it as

chancellor and fnanciers all unite in re-
garding a new debt and a further

of the difficulty arising out of the common
fault of spending more money than the
kingdom can pay.
Perhaps this way of lodging the neces =
sity of keeping expenses within the limit

should not be forgotten that only a
century ago what was considered the
