A letter signed "R'., and quite likely
written by Hon. Daniel Roberts, is
printed in recent issue of the Burling-
ton Free Press. The writer points out
defects in the ballot law, the provisions
of which, he says, have for their object
purity in elections. He goes on to say:
But does the new system promote such
purity? The political workers in Bur-
lingtOn, of both sides, will answer no,
and they assert that the act, as 1t stands,
facilitates rather than hinders corrupt
voting. This is made easy under section
20 of the act respecting the voter who by
reason of physical or mental disability is
unable to mark his ballot-at least he so
declares and 1t is taken to be true with
out inquiry-and thereupon he selects
one of the ballot clerks to assist him.
Say that the voter is hired to vote a
particular ballot, then how is it to be
known that he has earned his price? 1t is
arranged, as is suspected, that the voter
call upon particular ballot clerk 10
assist him, one, by supposition, who has
"A good understanding with the briber
and is one of his party. How simple a
thing it is for the assistant if this were
needed, to INDICATE to the man outside
the guard-ral that the voter has earned
his fee. by some concerted motion of the
hand apparently accidental and innocent
Without this assurance, it may he fairly
reckoned that even the man who agrees
to sell his vote for price will be honest
enough to keep his bargain.
We believe the scheme above outlined
has been found entirely satisfactory in
towns not thousand miles from here.
1t is not at all difficult to capture the
votes of the ignorant in this fashion, and
to be sure that the goods paid for are
delivered, too.

One Howard, an Englishman employed
as assistant coachman by Hon. Levi p.
Morton at his establishment at Rhineclifi,
N. .,was arrested a few days ago by p.
G. Dodge of Burlington, editor of the
Democratic Independent and an immi-
grafton Inspector. 1t was charged that
the man came here in violation Of the
alien contract labor law. Gen. Tracy of
New York has been engaged as his coun-
sci. The Independent Boston Transcript
is not inclined to regard the performance
as altogether credtable, saying:
The arrest of Mr.. Morton's coachman
on the charge of violation of the contract
labor law is such "peanut politics" that
only the great peanut chief, Hill, can
have suggested it. If Gen. Tracy's con-
tention that the cOachman is exempt from
the operation of the law because he is
employed in personal aud domestic SER
vice is sustained, the peanut character of
the whole proceeding will receive addl-
tIonal emphasis.

A Tonic Laxative That Regu-
lates the System Thoroughly
and Naturally.

The increased demand at Sterns' drug
store for DR.. Howard's famous specific
for the cure of constipation and dyspep-
sis and the prevention of apopleXy
shows a timely feeling of anxiety.
People are rapidly learning solemn
fact, long known to medical men, that
constipation and indigestion are not
trining ills; but that, besides their dis
tressng sy mptoms, they lead with IA
fearful sureness to apopleXy.
The Philadelphia health committee
last week publicly stigmaized the super
fetal habit of disposing of sudden death
as due to "heart failure" without men
tioning the form of indigestion that is
the real cause.
deaths reported in Middlebury as
due to apopleXY," says well-knOwn
physician, "are generally caused by
some form of constipation or dyspepsia
not infrequently complicated by liver
trouble.
"'rhe fearful prevalence of constipa-
ton, Indigestion and bliousness should
frighten the community into more atten-
ton to health
DR.. Howard in mis- contributions to the
medical journals has for long time
called the attention of the profession to
the need of more concentrated study of
indigestion and constipation.
"They are destroying our national
health" says he. They are the foun-
dation of fatal diseases of the liver and
heart. Dangerous weakness follows if

Besides these many valuable cOntribu-
tions to the medical journals, DR.. How

ness of his written opinions; and his lit

which have long been adopted by the
best physicians of the country.
A Remedy That Cures.

The political situation in New York
city and State continues to grow in in
terest. A combination city ticket, made
up by the Republicans and anti-Tam-
many Democrats, is the latest addition to
the list. Such prominent Democrat
ic papers as the Sun and the Times are
outspoken in opposition to Tammany,
while neither the World nor the Herald
its behalf. The federal ofiice-holders are
silent as regards their attitude towards
Hill, whose friends among the newspa-
pers are wailing because President Cleve-
land does not express his approval of the
State ticket Of his party.

Plumley. The former made life a

have to sit on him soon and hard if they
want to do any business. Plumley is a
spontaneous orator, always loaded for
everything that comes in range. He will
be close second to Darling.

BEYOND THE GRAVE.

Away from carking care,
From passion and despair
From hopes that but delude.
And blasts that are too rude
From friendships that betray,
And joys that pass away
And love that turns to hate
In hearts left desolate,
fain would go.
From dreary days and nights,
And ghosts of lost delights
Fair phantoms of dead days,
That wander through old ways
From parting's bitter pain,
And meetings transient gain,
And death that mocks US so.
With glad life's overthrow
I fain wonld CO..
To some fair land and far;
Where all my lost ones are,
Where smiles shall bloom anew,
And friendship shall be true,
Where falls no weary night,
Since God Himself is light
Across the soundless sea
To that far land, and free,
I fain would go.
