1t seems to be generally conceded that
Speaker Crisp has never been able to i'm
part judicial character to his position. He
has been first and last narrow partisan
unable to rise above bis political prejudices.
In this respect he differs from bis prede-
cessors who, without exception, have en-
deavored to perform the duties of the place
with judicial fairness and in strict compli-
ance with established rules and precedents.
Speaker Crisp has shown himself, from first
to last, lightweight. History will give
him a place by himself. 1t cannot justly
admit him to the group with such speakers
as Blaine, Reed, Randall and Carlisle. The
indications are, however, that Mr.. Crisp
will never have other opportunity to preside
over the deliberations Of the National House
of Representatives.

going OH in the United States of America,
and there is little doubt that the govern

he and his mistress are now hiding in the
mountains. The greatest trouble has
been experienced in the capital of Chicago,
where Grover Cleveland has obtained COM
pletc control The railroad at that place
has been torn up apd thrown into the
Mississippi river, and the stockyard has
been RACED to the ground" No wonder the

A Bowdoinham correspondent makes the
suggestion that Instead of forcing voters
under the ballot law to use a pencil in
marking their ballots the booths might also
be provided with rubber stamps for the
convenience of those who preferred to mark
the cross in this way. We do not see any
thing ia the ballot law that would prohibit
the use of such rubber stamps, and it would
seem to be matter entirely left to the dis
erection of the election officers. Section "a
of the law provides that the voter "shall
prepare his ballot by marking in the
appropriate margin or place, a cross (X) as
follows: He may place such mark within
the square above the name of the party
group or ticket, in which case he shall be
deemed to have voted for all the persons
named in the group under such party or
designation" Here is all the law has to
say upon this point. 1t simply provides
that the voter shall indicate his choice "by
marking in the appropriate margin or place
a cross (X)." 1t does not say whether
this marking shall be done with pen,
lead pencil or rubber stamp. We do not
see why the use of any one of them would
not be entirely legal. If rubber stamps
would be convenience to the voters there
does not appear to be anything to prevent
election officers from supplying them.
