1mnroved Pallot Laws Needed.

1 The legislature OF South Carolina at its
recent session adopted several OF Georgiais
laws And some CT them we're decidedly
bad. Now. Geork "a might return the i'm
I pied compliment by adopting some Of South
: Cardinals statutes, taking care, however.
not to follow Cardinals exampls aud chose
! bad laws. tub to pick out some Of the best.
! One that might be included in that cate
CORY is South Cardinals registration law,
under the workings OF which a citizen once
registered is permanently registered as a
voter Nor does that Tegistr alton depend
entirely upon the registrars will or the pos
session Of tax receipts.
In each county citizen OF high repute is
appointed commissioner of registration.
Upon him devolves the duty Of registering
and issuing certificates 10 all qualified
voters who apply TO him for registration.
The certificate is the electors voucher In al
elections, municipal, county and state; and
provisions are m de for the reissuinz OF
certificates when they have been lost.
The constitution of Georgia provides for
a registration OF the voters Of the state as
soon as the legislature shall have enacted
law TO that effect. Fifteen years have
passed since the constitution was adopted;
yet nothing has been done toward giving
the state satisfactory registration law.
The time has come, however, when a sys-
TEN OF egstration should be Instituted in
Georgia. and good tallotting system pro-
vided. The new and improved ballot sys-
tenn should be after the Australian plan, or
some other equally msritorious.
The press of Georgia could engage In no
better work than TO urge upon the people
and the legislators the necessity of the re-
forms suggested.
In Chatham county and the city of Sa-
vannah the people are deprived of much Of
their influence In the management Of af-
fairs, because OF the obliquities of the regis
tration and balloting systems. No one who
is not afflicted with political strabismus can
fail to see that our boosted republican form
Of choosing officials is losing its republicans
ism every day. and becoming more and
more dangerous TO good government 1t
must be corrected at one. A uniform, hon.
est and efficient registration system and the
Australian ballot system are the remedies
10 be applied.
The MORNING NEWS invites its contem-
poraries in all quarters of the state to unite
with 1t in advocating a consolidation of
elections, state registration OF voters and
an improved ballot system.

Railroad Bonds ead Bank Bills.

Railroad Bonds e1d Bank Bile.
The suggestion OF Congressman NJ. D.
Harter, OF Ohio, at the Drexel Institute,
Philadelphia, before the American Academy
Of Political and Social Science. In regard to
the formation OF banking system based on
railroad bonds. seems to be meeting with
earnest consideration on the part OF finan-
ciers In reversing the backing systems ot
various countries. Mr.. Hsrter drew special
attention TO the necessity for providing for
a change 10 our banking system, by reason
Of the gradual disappearance Of
United States bonds, upon which
the national bank circulation is
based. When these bonds have
finally disappeared-when the issues have
expired-some other basis upon which to
establish a circulation that will be flexible
and plentiful must be found aud utilized.
This basis, Mr.. Harter says. can be found
10 the bonds of solvent and firmly estab-
lished railroad companies. he suggests that
railroad bonds be taken, the principal and
interest OF which are payable in gold, which
have been listed on some reputable stock
exchange for at least dve years and which
have never in that time sold below los. "If
such security had been In use since 1868, the
people OF the country would, up 10 the
present day, not have lost a single penny"
be says.
The Financial Chronicle is Of the opin-
ion that the suggestion is perfectly feasible.
and calls attention to the fact that various
fnsnciers have, in a general manner, advo-
Gated plans similar to the one Mr. Harter
took the pains TO elaborate and explain at
the Philadelphia m Getting. The Chronicle
concludes that "the people of the country
seem averse to any proposition on the part
Of the treasury department officials to in
crease the public debt on an issue OF new
bonds" and that railroad bonds will
furnish perfect security for the issue of
notes by banks"

Cleveland's cause.
1t is well-known fact that when the

Blackburn resigned his place. at a very

II is provided that the bill that the contend

The talk in Washington that Speaker
Crisp will be candidate to succeed Sena-
tor Colquitt in the Senate may have some
foundation, but just at the present he is
more interested in securing a reelection to
the place he now holds than in anything
else. Some OF the western papers are firing
hot shot at him, holding him RESPONSE BILE for
the delay In reporting the app ropriation
bills. They seem to think that he is en-
coursging delay In reporting these bills in
order to force an early extra session,
and thereby bring about his own
reelection before opposition to him
eau be organized. This is mani
testify unjust to Mr.. Crisp. There is no rea-
son for asserting that he is responsible for
the delay. or that be is PARTICULARLY anxious
for an early extra session on his own &C.
count. Ithas been stated that he is in hsr-
mopy with Mr.. Cleveland upon all i'm
portant issues that will come before the
next congress, and the opposition to his re-
election has about disappeared. This is the
truth, doubtless. There is no good ground
for asserting that there is any opposition to
his re.electic n that is worthy Of serious at
tention.
