THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

Through inalteratiOn, carelessness
or ignorance a number of voters were
disfranchised in the recent election
and the reason therefore, we believe,
lies not so much with the voter as in
the complications and perhaps mysti-
flying explanations of chow to vote
Some ballots were so faulty as to be
entirely lost, others were counted for
only parts of the candidates. We have
heard of at least one case in which the
voter marked every circle at the head
of the ballot. Another wrote his own
name at the top of the ballot and
placed square and cross in front of
the name. Other ballots were count
ed for only one man, and that man was
perhaps only a township candidate.
There is no question, but, that the
Australian ballot is a great improve
ment over the old way of voting, but a
ballot, so constructed, that any citizen
may, thereby, loose his vote, should re

ceive attention from our law makers.
We believe that the obliteration of
the circles at the head of the various
tickets would, in gseat measure, sim
plify the marking of ballots. 1t takes
but little time to mark the name of
every candidate for whom man may
wish to vote and if every voter had
practiced this plan few votes would
have been lost in the recent election.
Votes are lost every year and the ar
rangement of the ballot law so that
the number of lost ballots may be re-
duced to a minimum, is a field in which
the numbers of the next legislature
may bring praise and gratitude to
themselves and confer a great favor
on every citizen of the state.

FLAGS.
What the Colors of a Regiment or of
a Ship Signify.

Flags are not merely so many yards of silk.
They represent TO a soldier what is nobles in
his countrys history and institutions. Their
loss, under circumstances short of heroic Is
an eternal disgrace TO the regiment losing them
Only death can excuse the cOlor-gua from de-
Tending them, and when the guard has been
shot or cut down others should be ready to
stand by the flag. In the navy a vessel never
strikes her colOrs except TO acknowledge a de-
feat
For this reason when in that great sea duel
b'twetn Paul Jones' BonDOmnlie Richard and
the English Scraps, which lasted far into the
night, the ensign was shot away from the hal
yards, Lieutenant Stafford plunged into the
sea after il, ana Drawing a double death-he
was In fact. wounded while swlmming-saved
IL and set it again, and it was The Serapis
which finally struck. The Cumberland went
down IN Hampton Roads with colors flying
and when recently the old kearsarge, which
sent the Alabama TO the bottom, struck on
Roncador Reef in the Caribbean Sea and her
crew was obliged to take to the boats, the en-
sign was left flu tering In the breeze.
Next to our own flag that OF Great Brit ain
interests us most. 1t is called the "uniOn" flag
because it is three flags in one. The flag of
England is a red cross on white field; that ef
Scotland a white 81. Andrews cross on a blue
| field. These flags were combined when Eng
land and Scotland united in 1888; and on the
union with Ireland, the Irish flag, red ST. An
drew's cross on white field, was added. The
union of the three countries is thus indicated
on the UNION" The ST. Georges cross of Eng
Ia0u Ie1IdlIS db DclOfe. anu is Tie central lea
ture of the flag, dividing IL into four quarters
occupied by the st. Andrews crosses the
white Of Scotland and the red OF Ireland which
are placed SIDE by side.
Aboard a British warship the "unlon" is
hoisted only when the Queer or an admiral Is
aboard. English ships sail under the British
ensign, OF which there are three kinds-white
blue and red-each with the union in Il square
in the upper part Of the hoist, that portion OF
the flag along the staff. The navy. and, by
special permission. the Royal Yacht Club,
sail under the white ensign, which has, be-
sides the union, the red cross of ST. George
| over the whole. The blue ensign Is a priyi-
lege allowed 10 those merchant ships which
are officer by members of the naval reserve
and One-tbird of whose crews belong 10
the reserve. 1t is also flown by few yacht
clubs. The red is the merchantman's ensign.
Until 1864 he British naval feet was divided
into three squadrons, each in command OF an
!, admiral, who was known by he color OF his
! flag as the admiral of the blue" the "admira
OF The red" ana the admiral of the white"
This distinction was abolished because 1t was
found puZZng in action and was often elm-
mated. Trafalgar, for instance, was fought
under the white ensign. The French and
Spanish ships went into action without setting
their coors, but were later obliged TO hoist
them so as to be able TO strike them.-Ths Out.

trial had been limited to the establishment
of the fact of the killing A crime of that
nature indicates an UNUSUAL mind, and the
people wanted to know how unsound the
assassin's mind was. The evidence left
little doubt of his moral responsibility,
and there were few troubled eonsciences
when the end came.
The presumption of sponsibility in
the case Of Prendergast was quite as
strong as In the case of Guitesu. On its
face the act of PrendeIgast was the act of
a madman. The grievance ne Drofessed
as his motive was one no sane man would
entertain. There was no personal hos
ilIty, no passion to mitigate the en0rmity
of the crime, and in that fact lay the doubt

tracted trial in which the mind of the man
was exposed to public view convinced

lie may have been victim of the laws of
heredty or of prenatal influence, but he
was still on the human side of the line that
separates man from the lower order of
animals. 1t may be better that his eXecu-
ton should take place after this fact was
established than before. Every stroke of
justice which takes in the appearances
either of haste or vengeance gives vitality
to the conscientious scruples against the
int1iction of the death penalty under any
circumstances whatever.

ARBITRATION.

If an effective plan of arbitration grows
out of the present labor difficulty the inevi-
table loss will be fully compensated. 1t is
as much to the advantage of labor as to
capital that mode of redress less costly
than strikes be found. The striker begins
operations by wounding himself. He cuts
himself off from the source of supplies
When Governments see war coming they
enforce measures to increase their reve-
nues. The striker voluntarily deprives
himself of all other revenues than can be
drawn from accumulations. The conse-
Quence is that very often strikes Just in
themselves wear themselves out Men in
time are starved into submission. Arbi-
tratiOn will not always award labor all its
demands, but it will set before the public
an authoritative statement of the condi-
tions whic led up to the strike. The
hearing OF the questions in dispute will be
held under circumstances that preclude
sitting Of testimony. Consequently, if the
decision in given case goes against abor
the public will be placed in a position to
judge correctly between the two parties to
the controversy. The establishment of
such a board affords labor an opportunity
to make its power felt in nominations and
elections 10 office. With free ballot no
man can be elected Pre- sident who is known
to be unfriendly to the labor interests of
the coDntrv
