THE nomination papers for the Popu-
list county ticket, were not properly
filed with the county clerk in time to al
low the candidates for county offices to
get their names on the ticket this fall.
We don't know who is to blame in the
matter. but there is negligence some
where. The law commands that no.
tice shall be fled with the county clerk
at least fifteen days before election.
This was done, the nomination papers
reaching the Office of the county clerk
Monday evening after seven o'clock.
But there is another kink in the law
that works the disaster in this case,
and that is the law requiring that any
political party not having at least two
per cent of the entire vote OF the
county polled for all political parties
at the last general election, shall have
affixed to th oir nomination papers the
signatures Of a number Of voters equal
TO one per cent. of the entire vote OF
the county. Now the populist ticket
two years ago had but seventy-one
votes in the county. and all the votes
cast in the county were 1896. This
made it necessary for the populist can
didates to secure the names of eighty
four voters to their nomination papers
when filed with the county clerk. The
papers sent in Monday night contained
but thirty names. The omission to Sc
cure more names and to file them with
the clerk at the appointed time, makes
.itillegal for the clerk to allow the names
of the candidates To 20 on the printed
ballot. No one has any option in the
matter. The law is explicit on this
point. w II dolford was in the city
Monday. and we hunted him up to
know why the papers had not been fled.
I, seems that three papers were circu-
lating for signers, one at Cassyille. one
at Beetown and one At Bloomington.
Mr.. II telegraphed to Cassville, and
got the reply that the papers from
there had been sent that morning. but
the Beetown and Bloomington lists
have not yet reached Lancaster.
Fault cou'i be found with the eNac-
tions Of the law, but after all the re-
quirementS are the same fer all parties
and there are fifteen days during any
OF which nomination papers may be

EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-As thel e
ale to be submitted to vote of the peo-
Pile at the coming election two amend
ments to our constitution, it may not be
out of place 70 say word IN explain
alton of hem.
The amendment of Sec. /. Article 10,
is TO remove the limit on TIE salary OF
the Supt. of Public Instruct icn which is
now $1,000, which the last legislature
incre ased by making an allowance to
that Officer of S750o, for the alleged
purpose Of revising the School Code.
1t seems to me il would be far prefer
able, to provide the State Snpt, of
Schools with reasonab BILE salary than
to have the legislature resort to these un-
questionable expedients to provide a
reasonable compensation for him in
that way.
The amendment OF Subdivision 8 of
Sec. 81, Article 4, is to strike out OF that
Sub division the word City. The legis-
lsture is now prohibited from granting
Charters to city All places now seek
ing to incorporate themst Ives into city
must do so under the general law
which in many instances does not give
satisfaction. especially in the case CT
large cities, which desire amendments
TO their Charters and cannot got them,
because the power granted by the gener.
al law is limited aud their hands ATE
consequently tied. By this smendmenl
1t is sought to remove that restriction
so that Cities may again be incorporat-
ed by the Legislature as 1t was formerly
the case prior to 1889.

Striking facts are these; A million

wages in 1894. compared with 1892,
over billion dollars. The product OF
1S94-from yarions manufacturing in
dustrits was worth over fonr billion
less than that from the same industries
in 1892 The material used in these in
dustries in 1894 was worth nearly two
and quarter billions of dollars less in
1894 than that used in 1892. These
facts speak IN thunder tones against
the Democratic assault upon Protec-
tion. These fabulous losses are start

filed. In order that the system of
voting by the Australian ballot may be
carried out, it requires good deal Of
red tape. but it is essential to the sys-
tenn that these red-tape demands be
complied with. and the populist ticket
will not be printed on the ballot this
fall because Of the neglect of some Of

is to see to the general party business.

Shanghai, Aug. 2o.-The activity of the
Chinese in hunting down japanese spies
increases every day, and if the Chinese

given out that they will be expelled from
China, but nobody would be surprised II

The Japanese elsewhere in China are sub

My Lords and Gentlemen: I am graft
fed at the fact that your labors, although
exhausting, have been fruitful. and | am
confident that you share the JOY at the
birth of an heir in the third generation to.
the throne. The event is not merely pro
pitious, it is unprecedented i'll the history
Of the country.
My relations with foreign powers are
friendly; but | regret that variety OF
African questions with France are not
yet settled.''
The speech continues:
In concert with the President Of the.
United States / have taken the steps.
necessary to give effect to the Behrln2'

to to an act passed by the Congress Of me me

the view of obtaining their adhesion TO-

Il regret to state that war has broken

aeavoring in concert with Russia and the
other powers to prevent an outbreak OF
hostilities, | have taken steps to pre-

Il have learned with satisfaction that
the proceeds at the Ottawa conference:
were of a character calculated tor

G0RMAN A SICK MAN.
His Physician Advises Visit to
One of the Heaith-giving
German Springs.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. Ex-senator Cor
mans physicians advise him to leave for
Europe at the earliest possible day for
the purpose of taking treatment at one
of the German springs. His health is
declared to be in d very precarious state.
Senator Germans family and friends
have been greatly alarmed about his
health for several months. and his physi-
clans have frequently advised him that
he must devote long period to absolute
rest and abstain from work of all sorts
or he would break down completely and
irrevocably. Mrs. German has often
begged him to give up all work and go
away to Europe or some other place
where he could be out of reach of the
politicians. The senator left Washington
for Saratoga yesterday for rest. Ii he
does not improve the whole family will
probably go to Europe. 1t is their in
tention at all events to go to Europe III
the spring after the short session Of Con
gress is over and remain there all next
summer The fact is that Senator Cor
man has worn himself out by hard work,
