MUST BE SECRET.
Law Governing Elections In Kansas Re-
gaPding the Marking OF Ballots.

RaEOinS the MARKING OF b8AOtss
TOPEKA. Kan, Oct. 6.-B. M. Wal
lace; of Topeka, has informed Alto r
ney-Genera1 Little that an attempt will
be made to ascertain how citizens of
Shawnee county cast their votes at the
coming election, anG asks if it would
be lawful for any judge or other person
to place marks upon the ballots with a
view of securing the desired informa-
ton.
Replying, the Encouragement says
that one of the purposes of the new
Australian ballot law is to prevent any
person knowing for whom the voter
casts his vote. One of the judges desig-
mated by the election board shall give
the voter one ballot, on the back
of which the judge shall indorse
his initials. This is the only indorse-
ment which any judge has right
to make upon the back of the ballot.
The booth in which the voter pre-
pares his ballot has been desig-
mated for the express purpose of having
the vote secret. so that no person can
determine for whom the voter cast his
ballot, and if any person or judge
should indorse upon any ballot any
letter, figure, word or n lumber by which
he can determine for whom the vote is
cast, he lays himself liable to the PEN
atty which is prescribed in section 81
of said act, which reads as follows:
Any person who shall. except as herein other
wise provided. mark or fold his ballot SO as to
distinguish. or allow his ballot to be seen by
any person with an apparent intention OF let
ting it be known how he is about to vote, or
who shall make q false statement as to his in
ability to mark his ballot, or any person who
shall interfere attempt to interfere with
any OF the voters when inside said incloSed
space, when marking his ballot or any bal
lot, any character for the purpose of identify
ing said ballot, shall be punished by fine OF
not less than SIS more than 800, or by fiue
and impriso nnent for not less than ten days
nor exceeding thirty days, or by both fine and
imprisonment.

AMERICAN SALES TO GERMANY.
Kshe Campaign in North Carolina the Most
AniEaated That Has Occurred Since
the War-TOugh Fight for
the Democrats. 49,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The officials of
SzzGs state and agricultural departments
=Ers much interested in the reported pur-
pose OF Germany, as given in a recent
1Eeriin cable, to retaliate against the
Uuited States because of the special
discriminating duty imposed on sugar
1xssz1 export bounty paying countries
10y discriminating against our meat and
EBrcafistuffs-.
It will be very unfortunate, said
DIR Salmon, chief of the bureau of ami
mail industry, ''as the German markets
have been opened to us after a good
deal OF trouble. But it has not been
the foreign duties as much as it is the
alleged disease of American meats, cat
die and hogs, that has kept us out of
3zReIE markets Our inspection service
HAS resulted in establishing that Amer
Eean hogs are free from trichinosis
and. our cattle have no trace
<Eg pleuro-pneumonia. That be-
ing established, this country is
able TO make large shipments and am
ElIesined to think we can hold our own
and continue these shipments if the re-
6al5ation does not consist in charging
QUIZ meat products with being dis
4eASed-''
The treasury statistics of our trade
with Germany, which will be affected
Esy retaliation against American meat
zAnd breadstuffs, show that our sales to
that country last year were as follows:
Cattle, S2S5, 792; canned beef, 1876, OF;
salt and picked beef, SAL, 4S4; tallow,
S+sS, 500; bacon, 81, O36, 900; hams, $780,
1885, fresh pork, $190,611; lard, So, 1885,,
sEs27 Oleomargarine, s., $50, 900; butter,
SszEt,oOG; breadstuffs, corn, S., $50, 400;
n
GAe aggregate a retaliatory policy on
the part of Germany would affect about
SIC. 900, 900 of American trade in meat
products and breadstuffs.
LOUISIANA SUGAR MEN.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Senator B1anch-
ard OF Louisiana, returned from
EUROPE upon the same steamer that
bEsBsHght Representative William L.
Wilson home and was in Washington
yesterday. Mr.. Blanchard proposes
taking an active part in the campaign.
IF the sugar planters of the state in
Gead advocating the election of repub-
1fcasEs representatives they will find
$SsgsRfor Blanchard opposed to them,
although he was ready enough to serve
them as democrat in the senate. 1t
Kssus& be regarded as significant that
,zIR the men who fought in the interest
OF the sugar growers during the last
session of congress are actively engaged
EE8gx in opposing the revolt of the
Louisiana sugar men.
T4s campaign in North Carolina,
rzxhIze not attracting much attention
outside of the State, is said to be the
.szs0sE animated that has occurred since
FESe war. The republicans have made
q. thorough combination with the pop
zEf5s&s, which includes every district in
s9Es1 state, and large political meetings
-aze held every day. The regular dem
.ss<srafs never had such a tough fight on
sEReir hands. Senator Ransom is in the
Axafck of the fight.
