The official tickets to be used in
the election next Wednesday do not
state in full the titles of the constitu-
tional amendments to be voted on. At
the bottom of the ticket the three pro-
posed amendments are set down, with
changes of numbers of paragraphs,
sections and articles, in this formula:
FOR RATIFICATION of Amendment to
Paragraph l Of Section of Article of
the Constitution.
AGAINST RATIFICATION of Amend
ment to Paragraph l of Section of
Article 6 of the Constitution.
If the voter wishes to vote for the amend
ment he will scratch the against" para
graph, and vice versa. The amendment
to paragraph l of section of article 6 is
the one that proposes the increase in the
number of judges of the supreme court.
1t appears first on the ticket. The amend
ment to paragraph l, section l, article
Z, is the one that proposes enlarging the
powers of the state to grant pensions. 1t
appears second on the ticket. The amend
ment to paragraph 3, section 4, article 3,
is the one that proposes the changing of
the time of the meeting of the legislature.
1t appears last on the ticket. The voter
should fix these numbers in his mind, or
stick this paragraph in his hat for refer
ence, in case he has an idea of voting in
favor of some of the amend ments and
ag ainst others.

What Wilson Told the Englishmen.
From the New York Times Deu1)

Chairman William l.. Wilson was the guest

American spirit. In a friendly wav he warned
his hosts that the American people were low.

not so much to let foreign trade in-though
they were not afraid of that-but to let them,
selves out and TO get access to the markets of
the world on such terms as their resources
and energies would enable them to make.
That is at once a statement Of a well-estab-
ltshed economic fact, and the expression of
that high American courage which the pro.
tectionists have done 50 much to quell.

The Smart" Ex-President.
From the Chicago Herald de m }.

One of the smart" things said by Benja.
min Harrison in his indianapolis speech was
this: Our democratic friends have passed a
tariff bill that is approved by only six dem
ocratic senator's and by NOBODY else" This
is hardly true. The few monopoly features
of the democratic tariff were approved by
the six renegade democratic senators and by
all OF the republic an senator's So far as the
remnant of Mckinley robbery is concerned it
form features of the bill suit the democrats
and honest men generally. If the ex-Fresi-
would tell the whole truth about these mat
ters he would set his party a better example
than he does.

Because the populist politician breaches
purity in elections and free ballot is no
reason why an eye should not be kept on
him on election day. The populist politi-
clan is into the fight for keeps, and if he
can work any tricks, he will do it. That
little incident of the duplicate election
blanks should warn every democrat
against trusting the populist politician.
The populist voter may be all right, but
the wire -puller is not.

Work for Earnest Woman.

DR.. Parkhurst thinks there is work in
New York for earnest women to do. He
believes they can help him materially in
carrying into effect the reforms he has in
view. He saw what women did in Ken
lucky toward defeating Breckenridge, and
he is now inclined to enlist the women of
New York in the effort to purify the gov
ernment in that city
He has not fully decided yet whether
or not he will call on them for assistance
In a public address last week he said he
was considering the advisability of ask
ing them to lend him helping hand, and
in a subsequent interview he said: "A
live woman, thoroughly awake, is an i'm
mense team. There is something in a
crowd of thoroughly earnest women that
is impossible to overcome. Didn't they
turn the city upside down last summer
when they discussed suffrage2 A woman
carries everything with her. She
makes her own convictions felt, and the
one great truth is this-what women talk
about everybody else talks about"
If DR. Parkhurst should ask the
women to help him his crusade against
bad government in New York would be-
come far more forceful than it has yet
been. He could, in all probability, name
the next city government. He would
have thousands of women with him, and
they would represent every class Of So
ciety. They would compel the men to as
sist in turning the rascals. out.
DR.. Parkhust has already made him
self terror to corrupt officials. He has
demonstrated that his power is greater
than theirs. If he should bring the
earnest women to his assistance there
would be a revolution in New York city
politics such as the politicians of that
city never dreamed Of New men would
come to the front, and those who have
lived and grown fat at the expense of the
people would be retired forever.
