An Amendment in the Ballot Law
Called For.
From the Middlebury Register.

If the Australian, Botany Bay, kanga-
roo, convict colony ballot law at present in
force in the state is to be continued, it
should'be amended in at least one particu-
lar 1t is required that county clerks de-
liver the ballots to the constables of the
several towns, but it does not provide for
the return to the county clerk of the names
and addresses of these worthless. The
clerks are therefore obliged to gathor ne
names from newspaper reports and guess
at the addresses of those they do not know
about. Town clerks should be made to
return to the county clerks of their coun-
ties the names and post offices of the con-
stables.

No Room For Contest.
From the Montpelier watchman.

In the eternal fitness of things that will
be observed in the reelection of Mr.. Stick
ney to the speakership, the reelection of
George NJ. Powers, Esq, to the office of
secretary of the senate, and Honest John
Merrheld to the clerkship of the house,
must be included. Both have proved theiT
efficiency as scribes respectively of the
senate and the house. 1t is not in the in
terest of good legislation to make frequent
change in the Office of the recorder of pro
ceedings in either branch of the genera
assembly. We hear of no rival candidate
for either of these offices, and there is NJ
room for successful rivalry.

"With inspiration born of the same old
national and patriotic airs that, in the stir
ring days of the COS, led them through
valleys and over mountains to successive
victories, the representatives of the surviv-
ing veterans of the Union army from near
ly every state and territory marched yes
terday morning through the twin cities of
Pittsburg and Allegheny and received the
plaudits and homage of more than a third
of a million of spectators" So reads the
press account of the 2Sth annual parade of
the Grand Army veterans, Tuesday morn
ing, at the national encampment at Pitts
burg. The day was fine and about 10000
boys in blue were in line. The despatch
goes on to say that this was very probably
the last procession of its kind. So many
of theIveterans have grown old and dis
abled and feel themselves unequal to the
strain of the long march that there is &
strong sentiment in favor of dropping thu
parade from the program of the annual EN-
campment exercises.

The New York election next November
will be important, not merely because there
are a governor, lieutenant governor, an as
sembly, 81 members of congress to be
chosen in the state at large, and mayor,
a sheriff and other important officials in
New York city, but because of the other
questions which are to be passed upon by
the people. In the state the tariff and
other national questions will be issues in
the campaign, and in the city the battle be-
tween reform and boss rule is to be fought
out. The great question of municipal
consolidation is to be voted upon by the
citizens of New Y York and Brooklyn and the
other localities concerned. In addition to
this New York city will have ballot on
the important matter of rapid transit.

The Democrats are in baC way with
reference to campaign literature. The
Senate and House having been at odds
over the tariff bill, the arguments made in
the two houses conflict, and the Democrat
ic reader is at loss to decide upon the or
thodoxy of the disputants. To complicate
the situation, the Republicans will send
out as campaign document the Presi-
dents letter to Mr.. Wilson, scoring the
Senate bill which subsequently became a
law. In the closing days of the Senate
the Democrats tried to get some speeches
in the Record attempting to put the best
front on their family jars, but, as they had
no quorum of their own, and the Republi'
cans took advantage of this to choke of
partisan speeches, the Democrats find them
selves in the lurch.

ON NEW PARTY LINES.
Gov. Tfllman Predicts That They Will
be Drawn Differently.

Governor Tillman Of South Carolina. in an
interview, has declared that he sees nothing
for the future but for the southern demo-
Gratis to combine their forces with the wes-
tern populists and go into the next national
campaign on new party lines. The north
eastern democrats and republicans are now
together. 1t is a combination of the
moneyed interests"
The governor then, turning suddenly and
in somewhat excited and very forcible
manner. said: Il despise Cleveland and his
mugwumps. He is no better than the rank
est republican. He has destroyed the demo-
cratic party. The south and west will be
forced to unite and have complete reor-
ganization of party lines. The people who
are afraid of the negro and other questions
Will have to cast aside their fears on those
scores and come together on the one line of
hghting the money combination
We'll, governor, what is your idea of
what ought to be done?" was asked
The governor thought for an instant and
then said: We'll, I'll tell you. l think that
the silver men of this country ought 10 meet
in convention al Memphis or St. Louis and
organize fight to control the next Con-
gress. Let the west and south cast aside
all questions upon which they now have any
differences and get together. 1t is a fight
between gold and silver, or poverty and
prosperity"

The auditorium of Salem Baptist Church,
Champlain avenue northwest, was crowded
to it's utmost yesterday afternoon to hear
an address on the evils of intemperance
by Henry Randolph of Fair Plain, Conn.
President of the Lyceum, Thomas L. Jones,
called the meeting to order promptly at
$3.50 o'clock, and after singing several
select hymns by the Salem choir, he intro
duced the speaker Of the evening. Mr..
Randolph dwelled at length upon the ruin
which the liquor traffic was bringing upon
the nation, and appealed to his colored
brethren to put away the cup, acquire
property and be men and they would be
respected as such. Mr.. F. d. Lee was then
introduced. and in a few but eloquent re-
marks carried his audience by storm.
Both speakers were highly applauded at
the conclusion of their remarks. An eX-
cellent solo was rendered by Miss Geneva
Belt. At the request of the LyceUm Prof.
Harris, Washington's gifted musician,
rendered several selections on the piano.
Mr.. Arthur Boston and others made brief
addresses, after which the Lyceum ad-
journed.

That 100000 Oner.
Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your articles upon the trolley system
and the offer Of the Metropolitan Traction
Company Of New York of $4,000 for an
improved invention you seem to have hit
the nail upon the head in hazarding the
conjecture that appearances may be de-
ceptive and that snare Is laid for the
public" l am one Of presumably numerous
other inventors who. attracted by the mag
nifcent offer. have contended for the prize,
but to this time my drawings and plan
have not even been examined and yet
your information is that the competitive
spirit of corporations has been aroused
and that it Is narrowed down to three lead
ing competitors. l believe there is some
political hoaxing In the matter, intended
probably to effect legislation in favor of
or against certain New York corporations.
My experience leads me to suppose that
no individual inventor is allowed to COM
pete for the prize, nor was it ever intended
that he should, and that the whole offer
was an imposition on the public.
