THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
TLeWiStOn ,JOurnal.1

The Australian ballot which worked
so admirably year ago at the Lewiston
city election, was again indicated in
the election of Monday, March s., 1894.
The Australian ballot gives the people
chance to express themselves without
restraint other than their conviction.
When party is clearly in the wrong, it
should oppose the Australian ballot, be-
cause that ballot is death to bosses and
to municipal marauders. That is what
the Australian ballot has to say in Mon
days work in Lewiston. The party ties,
which are strong, are not strong enough
to lead tax payers to commit their inter
ests to men who are devoted to shearing
the public for personal revenue. The
Australian ballot vindicates the capacity
of the majority of the people, expressing
an authenticated conviction for self-goy
eminent and for the exercise of the com
mon sense of business in municipal
affairs. There is every reason to take
courage, since strong majority of the
voters of Lewiston have put themselves
ON record through two tickets antagonis-
tic of the Ring, in favor of economy and
reform in earnest in the conduct for
municipal affairs.

MORE THAN HOME COMFORTS.
Cheap Cooperative Living with the Help
of All Sorts Upto-Date Continuance.
[Chicago Record.]

Mrs. Coleman-Stuckert has come to
Chicago to build 100000 cooperative
home that will cover an entire block in
Hyde Park. The colony will consist of
forty-four houses on fortysix lots with
a common lawn, laundry, kitchen, fur
mace, electric light plant, assembly hall
and reading room. 1t will make life a
luxury for married clerk who earns
SOS a month, and will give his family
all the comforts of a Prairie avenue
mansion. This sounds utopian, and too
good to be true, but Mis-. Coleman
Stuckert has pyramid of figures to
prove it and scientific estimates that
show it is possible, and all she now
wants is generous philanthropist to
start the fund for the experiment
Mrs. Coleman-Stucker is doing the
work because she is convinced it costs
too much to live, especially in the cases
of the poor and middle class people.
These classes do not know how to econo-
mize, and they waste more than they
consume. These facts she promulgated
on paper during the worlds congress last

sons who are familiar with it say that
in iniquity it far surpasses the Tammany
gang of New York city. The day on
which the murder was committed this
gang was working in the interest of
Murphy's candidate for Mayor, one
Molloy. Suspecting that all sorts of
villainy would be resorted to to elect
Murphy's candidate, the Repu blicans
aud independent Democrats had ar
ranged for watchers at the polls, as was
done in New York city, and attempted
at Gravesend. The murder followed
the attempt of one of these watchers to
prevent illegal voting. AS this is a
bad year for thugs and thieves who
attempt to interfere with the suffrage
probably the authors of this crime will
have an opportunity to sit in the electric
chair.

Col. Ro berIs, Democratic candidate for
Mayor of Biddeford, used to be very OBJ
noxious to the Democratic ring, hostility
to him having been excited originally
by an indiscreet inquiry on his part for
an itemized statement of their expendi-
ture of the campaign fund. This they
regarded as an insinuation against their
honesty, and their indignation was very
great. But the Colonel seems now to
have made his peace with them, for
May Staples has publicly endorsd him
as a good man.

much more anxiety than anybody else.
Mr.. Oxnard's relations refuse to get very
much stirred up over it; and his wife is
very calm indeed. The natural infer
ence is either that his relatives
know pretty we'll where he is, or that
there is something about him that

Senator PETERS committee, which has
been investigating the subject, attributes
the low price of wheat to bonanza farm
ing in the Northwest, to increased pro-
duction per acre, and to reduced cost of
production and transportation. One would
have supposed that PETER would have
insisted on attributing it to the demon
etization of silver. But apparently he
has lucid intervals.

An examination of the ballots
cast at the recent election shows
that some two hundred voters
succeeded in DISTINGUISHING them
selves by carelessness or ignorance
of the requirements of the law. A part
of the trouble was evidently due to the
change in the system of marking from
last year, some of the voters not having
informed themselves in regard to it,
and marking the ballot as a year ago.
Another quite common defect was the
failure to make cross in the square
above the party designation after having
carefully split the ticket. That defect
was due to carelessness. The voter in
stead of marking the cross first and then
changing the names, had changed the
names first and then forgotten to
mark the cross. With little more ex-
perience the percentage of errors will I'M
doub tedly become very small, for the
present method of marking the ballot is
as simple as anything can be. Though
the errors were quite numerous, they
were undoubtedly divided proportionate-
Iy between the two parties and did not
affect the result materially.

And sealed them with the midnight stars,

Swept from the portals crowned with light:
