BALLOT REFORM.

The Albany Journal says that the
necessity for recasting the New York
election law is imperative. AS it stands
it is a travesty upon the reform system.
The RECoRD-UNIoN long ago pointed out
that it is really no reform ballot law at
all, though the New York people were in
high feather over its passage three years
ago. Trial of the system proves it to be
as bad as we forecast for it. 1t admits Of
the use of pastors for one thing, and that
is simply incompatible with honesty in
an election. Next, it permits a political
party to print an entire paster ticket,
which is ludicrous performance in con-
nection with a reform election law.
Lastly, it permits as many tickets as
there are parties in the field, and that
leads to the utmost confusion.
New York leads in so many things it
is to her dishonor that in this matter of
election reform she is so far behind thirty
States of the Union. Our contemporary,
the Journal, comedies that, and begs the
friends of free ballot and an honest
count to so rally about the Legislature of
the coming winter, that it will be forced
by the stress of public demand to enact
a ballot law in material respects resem-
bling the best and other approved zys-
TENS.
The Journal suggests one amendment
that might be an improvement upon the
California system; that is a distinguish
ing emblem on the ballot that the litter
ate voter, or those desiring to vote
straight tickets may do so with certainty.
This would possibly necessitate the
printing of the party nominations in
parallel columns, with vignette heads, as
is done in Indiana, a system that the
RECoRD-UNIoN has always advocated
warmly as preferable to that obtaining in
California

VIII command the profound attention Of
the country. One of the propositions to
engage the convention viii be the rectifi-
cation Of the system that places munich
pal elections on the same day with State
and national elections. Another will in
volve the weighing of the merits of the
Grand Jury system. Municipal admin
istration will be one of the most difficult
matters the convention will handle. In
New York, perhaps more than in any
other spot on earth, is there need for re-
form in the matter of the government
OF cities. We expect to see such pro-
vision adopted as will break the back of
bossism, and make it possible for the
people Of municipality 10 express their
free will. The new Constitution will
probably provide also against the gerry
mander (and thus remove a source of
great corruption and wrong, and for a
better election system, and for sanitary
and other reforms. The promotion of
celerity in the trial Of causes criminal
and civil, and especially the former, will
be one of the important subjects to be
considered. And so on through the list,
the work of the New York convention
will greatly interest the people of the
other States, and may lead to constitu-
tional reformations in many of them.

FREE ADVERTISING.

The Cleveland Press declares that no
newspaper gives away its liner advertis-
ing space as a matter of charity. 1t adds
that free advertisements are run, as a
rule. to fill space and make big show
ing. In this judgment the Cleveland
Leader concurs, and adds that whenever
a newspaper offers its liner space free, it
is wisdom to decline to accept the offer.
Both truth and error reside in these judg-
ments. Free space is given always with
view to greater gain than would result
from its sale. This may or may not
mean that the space is worthless, or can
not be filed by the publisher with pay
ing advertisements. 1t may mean that
the method is employed to induce greater
advertising in other columns, at rates
that will pay for the columns given
away. But the answer to that is that if
the whole income desired were dis
tributed in just charges over the whole
advertising space greater justice would
be done readers and advertisers and a
higher value be placed by public estimate
upon the journal as an advertising me-
dunn.
But the journal that does not feel the
need to induce advertising by giving
away a portion OF it's advertising space
moves upon the better plane; it is more
business-like in it's method and inspires
greater regard among advertisers and
readers. The merchant who sells suit
of clothing is not expected to throw in a
pair of boots. If he does, it is certain
that he makes the price of the boots out
of his suit-purchasing customers. From
that conclusion there is no escape.

PROFESSOR GARNER has finished his
exploitation of the language of apes,
monkeys and the like. 1t is possible that
he may issue a simian lexicon; but who
will buy it? What value will it have to
the many. and unless the many use it its
publication will be loss to the persistent
discoyerer of the simian tongue. But as
the Professor admits that he has not been
able to hold converse to any considerable
extent with the simian tribes, and that
his vocabulary will not prove a very ex-
tended one, he may, after all. be able to
satisfy curiosity by publishing it in cheap
form. But now that he has found there
is a monkey language, what is the gain
Would not the same energy directed in a
more practical direction have been of
greater service to the world?

THE GIVING SEASON.
An exbange wisely and well saws

An 0&Qauge WISELY du0 Gil Sdy
Christmas is due in about a month, ana
people are already lament1ng the probability
that they viii not be able to observe it with as
much pOmp and circumstances as heretofore.
II one OF the effects of hard times is to reform
the abuses that have grown up IN the manner
of observing the greatest OF all our holidays,
then the lesson OF the period OF depression
viii not Ge altogether in vain. The a1mless-
ness, extravaganza and bad taste that are too
often shown in the lndiscrlmlnate exchange
OF Christmas gifts, has almost perverted the
original purpose Of this once beautiful Gus
tom.
All which is solid truth. Hard times
and a narrow purse will in no wise nor
anywhere affect the Christmastide cheer,
if the spirit in which it is observed is
wholesome. The gift season has been
abused, and shamefully so, in the attempt
to make it time for rivalry in present
making. Many a man has had his nose
held to the grindstone for whole year,
because of his inability to recover from
the unwisdom with which he provided
gifts in the holiday season.
We can save our children from great
deal of misery and trial if we viii i'm
plant in their hearts the love Of gift be-
cause of the giver and the spirit in which
it is made, rather than for the intrinsic
value of the gift. We will save them a
great deal of distress if we will persist
emily teach that much expenditure of
money for a present in the season of
GOODWILL. not one particle adds 10 its
value in the eyes of love or friendship,
and there should be no passage of gifts
except they are prompted by love or
friendship.
All giving outside of such limits is
either vainglorious, boastful and selfish,
or for the purpose of securing favor or
exciting envy. The giving to the poor
and needy at this season, of course, is of a
different order; it is charity that should
know no seasons and no rest.
