End of the Fair.

1t was intended to make Monday
jubilee day at the Fair; but the assasina
ton of Mayor Harrison caused the entire
programme to be abandoned, and the
meeting held in Festival Hall was more OF
a memorial service. Resolutions of Re-
spect for their dead Mayor were passed and
then the Fair was declared closed by
Thomas W. Palmer President of the
National Commission, in the following
words:
1t was intended to close this Fair sim
ultaneously with the sound of this gravel,
the firing of artillery and the lowering of
the flag. ALI this has been changed by
the sad circumstances which brings US
together now. I announce that when the
sun sets the closing will be marked only
by salute and the hauling down of the
flag. When that takes place, declare in
obedience to the act of Congress the Ex-
position is officially closed.
At 6 o'clock that evening, the flags,
which had been floating at half-mast were
hauled down and the Fair ended.
The grounds are yet open to visitors, but
the exhibits are being packed, small build
ings are being taken down, and railway
tracks have been laid into the grounds.
The total of paid admissions, including
Monday, was 81, 480, ,9l0; the gate receipts
were about $40, 500, 900, the receipts from
concessions $4, 900, 900, from souvenirs s.,
500, 900, and from capital stock and indi-
vidual subscribers $40, 600, 900, making a
total of about 500, 400, 900.
The total cost of the buildings and i'm
provements was about $25, 900, 900, and
what money was made if any, will revert
to the subscribers.
This Fair has been one of the most sue
cesstul international exhibitions ever given.
A REPUBLICAN exchange well says that
there should be "no stay at homes" this
fall when an opportunity is given to let
the Democratic Congress know what we
think of their dllly-dallying; their subser-
vience to bourbon methods including the
revival of the nullifcation policy. The
financial depression, the attitude of the In
terror Department towards the soldiers
throughout the Union, the State bank
heresy; the reckless assault upon the
American industries and American labor
should meet with the condemnat.1 .1n in the
State of Pennsylvania which they deserve.
The opportunity to max 9 the first forcible
condemnation comes on election day, the
7th of November.

THE new election law excludes from the
polling booth all except certain persons
who are mentioned in the law. Here are
few of the penal offenses mentioned in
the new law: Allowing ballot to be
seen, with apparent intention of showing
marks; casting, or attempting to cast, an
unofficial ballot, or one improperly obtain
ed, or falsely declare to a Judge of election
that, by reason of any disability, he de.
sires assistance in the preparation of hi:
ballot; interfering with voters; inducing
voters to show ballots, uncovering mum
bers or disclosing the contents of any bal
lot that has been marked by his help;
hindering voters; destroying, detacing Oh
delaying the delivery of ballots; having
ballots in possession, other than sample,
outside of voting room.

It's Easy to Vote.

The new ballot law of this Common
wealth makes the act OF voting simplicity
itself for the voter. doing away with, OF
throwing upon the election officers, many o.
the puzzling details that have made SO much
trouble under the systems of other States.
Under the new system all voter who
wishes to vote straight party ticket has
to do is to walk into the booth and prepare
his ballot by marking cross in the circle
at the head of the party ticket, then refcld
the ballot just as it was given to him and
walk out and hand it to the election officer
appointed to receive it. One little mark
does the whole business. The election
officer folds the ballot properly before giving
it to the voter, and, when it is returned tc
him, numbers the ballot in the corner and
covers the number by pasting down the
corner, as provided by the law, before
depositing it in the box. No one need
worry himself bit as to his ability te
mark ballot correctly at the next
election, provided he votes q straight ticket
for all he needs to notice is which is his
party ticket and then put q cross in the
circle at the head of it. The voter who
wishes to split his ticket, however or who
wishes TO vote for only a portion OF the
officers to be elected will proceed in the
same way he did last yearly making q
cross opposite the name of each candidate
for whom he wishes to vote. This requires
some care, and the man who proposes tc
kick over the party traces should post him
self thoroughly, or his vote may be in.

TROLLEY ACCIDENTS.

The Brooklyn troleys will be an expensive
investment for the street railway corporations
unless they can find some means of preventing
the frequent recurrence of accidents. Nearly
every life that is lost costs So, 900, or 100. 900
car fares and the accidents from broken limbs
and fractured skulls are even more expensive
The corporations are seldom successful when
they defend accident cases in court, and a
majority of the actions brought against them
from this cause are prudently settled by con-
promises effected by their attorneys but even
then the costs of carclessness on the part of
employees are great. The trolley lines have
every reason for desiring to bring the slaughter
which has been prevailing in the streets of
brooklyn during the last few weeks to an end.
They do not appear. however, to be acting
with much intelligence in their precautionary
measures.
When the power was changed the corpora
tions employed as motormcn the men who had
been driving and stabing the horses They
acted upon the assumption that any man
capable of Harvesting and driving a team of
horses was competent to direct the movement

REFORM BY REFERENDUM.

A writer in the July number of "Thc Cos
mopolitan Magazine" commcnds the refercn-
DUN to students of our governmental system
who are bent upon improving it. The rcfcrcn-
dun. as our readers arc aware, is a check on
representatives. 1t gives the people the right
to pass upon the laws enacted by those whom
they elect to lcgislatc, the right to approve
or to reject. The writer in question believes
that by grating this appliance upon our gov
ernmcntal system here in America we would
bring about substantial reform. Would we T.?
Under our system. as it stands here in New
York and in other States, resort is had to the
referendum when issues of the first Importance
to the people as a whole are at stake Next
year, for example, convention to revise the
Constitution of NewYork will be held But il,
labors will come to naught unless they receive
the popular sanction at the ballot-box few
years ago the grave question of the abolition
of the convict contract system from our prisons
and penitentiarics after being discussed by the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1893-08-09

Legislature was referred by that body for final
decision to the popular vote at a general elec-
ton. A little earlier the important measure to
remove all tolls from the canals met with a
similar disposition. 1t thus appears that the
referendum is by no means unknown to the
government of New-York On the contrary,
the people are accustomed to avail themselves
of il whenever there is most need that they
should do SO. Nor is it clear that we would be
the gamers If provision was made for its use
As a rule rather than an exception. 1t is the
theory Of our system of course that represent
atives represent. IL Is notorious, on the other
hand, that in too many instances the theory
is not justified by the facts. Take the ma
iority of the lawmakers of the Legislature of
1898. They represented party, faction,
boss, and not the people. They were working
for partisan and not for public ends The
leading Democrat of the last Assembly, the
Speaker, frankly admitted that the majority
members took their orders during the session
not from their constituents, but from Boss
Croker. This is deplorable state of things,
but the referendum might make it worse by
rendering the sense of responsibility on the
part of the average member less acute even
than it is to-day. 1t might happen that body
of lawmakers, realizing that the legislation
which they were to enact was to be passed upon
by another body-the great body of the people
consciously or mconsciously would be in
clined to be less painstaking than they are at
present, shifting the burden of responsibility
from their own shoulders to that of the appeal
tribunal. At all events the tendency is, rs
the result of the teachings of experience in the
conduct Of government, to concentrate rather
than TO diifuse responsibility.
So long as the Governor is clothed with the
veto power, the referendum seems to be an
uncalled-for and cumbersome check. A better
remedy for the ills complained of would be
pentacostal revival of public spirit which would
result in giving the State higher order of
lawmakers. SO long as the people without
protest consent TO have their laws made for
them by men as incompetent and rntrIstworthy
as those who shaped the legislation of the last
session, what would "A referendum accomplish?
The bosses who ran the Legislature would run
the referendum. Just as soon as the people
make up their mind to have first-class Senators
and Assembly, they will get them. Let the
rule of the survival OF the fttest be applied in
our legislative nominating conventions and
there will be small occasion to resort to
referendum.
