TESTING THE BALLOT LAW,
Its Legality viii Be Adjudicated Upon by
the Supreme Court.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2s. - The Supreme
Court was applied to to-day for an injunc.
tion to prevent the Australian ballot law
from being put into operation. The Court
was asked to take immediate jurisdiction of
a complaint made against the County Com
missioner, Controller and City Treasurer,
and asking for an injunction restraining
them from exercising the powers conferred
upon them by the act.
Accompanying the petition there was also
q bill in equity, under the title above gwen
The complainants state that they are quail
fled electors OF the Prohibition party, and
that by the operation of the Australian bal
lot law the qualified voters of this party are
denied the right of making nominations by
conventions, ETC., and of having the names
of their candidates printed on the official
ballot at the exnense of the county, etc. as
the voters of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties may, simply becaa ase though
in all other respects duly qualified, the
voters of the Prohibition party polled at
the last general election did not equal the
percentum required by the act.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-[Speciai.] 1.-The will of

Diocese, has been admitted to probate by
Surrogate Abbott. 1t was executed on Nav
g. 1880 and was not changed in any particular
from its original shape. The document di-

Interesting Election.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-The election of officers

RAILROAD men are trying to solve the
problem of how to empty, or load up, train

traffic arrangements at the Worlds Fair.
Unless coaches with many doors, more or

railroaders might as we'll try to square the

The building may as well be completed
throughout and not left in an unfinished
state in the steeple with dummy clock
faces. The commissioners have also or
dered advertisements for bids to construct
bridges over the Chehalis river near Roch-
ester and over the Skookumchuck, near
Bucoda, and what is the most important
of all, the board is paying strict attention
to the necessity Of good roads in Thurston
county. We are not as badly off with re-
spect to roads as some Of the neighboring
counties, but they are bad enough in some
places. Every road leading into the
county seat especially, should be placed in
the best possible condition and kept that
way. 1t will bring more settlers into the
county, and help the growth of cities,
towns and villages. 1t is to be hoped the
bridge over the Nesqually will also be com
pleted before the summer is over.

THEY WENT roo FAR.

It has all along been the boast of the
democracy that the source Of power must
come from the people, but the Tammany-
ties appear to have followed the advice of
one of the Vanderbilts, Damn the people p
in fixing up their constitutional conyen-
ton scheme in the state of New York. The
constitutionality Of the bill is seriously
questioned and and good lawyers hold that
the measure is not warranted by the funda-
mental law of the state. The Sun, in a re-
cent editorial, accepts this view and de-
clares that the provision in the bill en-
powering the governor to appoint eleven
delegates is clearly Unconstitutional.
There is, = it says, mo authority whatever
in the state constitution for the appoint
ment Of delegates to such a convention.
The participation Of appointed delegates
in its deliberations and votes would deprive
the assemblage of its character as a consti-
tutional body, and its amended constitu-
tion would be nuIlity in law. The gov
ernor cannot be empowered, under the con
stitution to appoint these eleven delegates
any more than he could be to appoint the
entire III members of the conveution.n p As
the bill in question is one of the leading
measures Of the recent session, and one
which has the endorsement of Senator Hill,
the SUMS opinion is decidedly interesting.

PAUPERISNI.

In England there are $50, 900 paupers. In
the United States there are fewer than sew
enty-fye thousand. By paupers are meant
those that are in almshouses, and not those
that receive outside assistance. During
hard winters as many as 500, 900 persons re-
ceive outside aid. The misery and starya-
tion in London is appalling, and is largely
attributed to the starvation rates for which
the laborers are required to work, in the
country which boasts the highest civiliza-
tion on the globe. Every room in the low
tenement houses in East London contains
one family, and frequently two. The un-
derground houses are packed with human
beings. AS many as eight people occupy
a single room twelve feet square. Women
work stitching pants and vests for shil-
ling day working seventeen hours out of
the twenty-four. Others make shirts in
garrets for ten pence dozen. There they
toll, stitching at once shirt and shroud.
Others make shirts at farthing each. No
wonder SO many people are paupers in
such country as that. Professor Huxley
once said: "In my voyage around the
world found no people So miserable,
wretched and degraded as those who exist
in the poorer quarters of London" This
being true, it is not to be wondered at that
one hundred thousand Britons come to the
United States every year to better their con
dition. No nation on earth, with anywhere
near its population, has as few paupers as
