ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SaXtOn naturally takes Il
keen interest in the pending Ballot Reform BILL
whose passage he earnestly desires. The one
criticism which he makes upon the measure,
however ought to lead 10 its amendment. What
he objects to is the provision that disabled or
illiterate voter may take friend into the booth
with him and have the friends assistance in pre-
pairing his ballot. This is Enthusiastically dan
gcrous provision and sets the door ajar for grave
abuses Many advocates Of the blanket ballot
agree with Mr.. Saxton's views on this subject.
The duty of assisting voters in need Of help may
safely be entrusted TO the regular election officers.
Mr. Raines's bill should be amended in this par
ticular before final action it is taken.

that some Ubiquitous measures may slip through

FAIRLY ALIVE.
JAPAN AND CHINA OvERRUN WITH
CHOLERA.
In Toxic the Heat Is Terrific and
at Chez Fow the Disease Is
SpreadinS-Many Foreigners Flee

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1S.-Not-
withstanding the endeavors of the
japanese and Chinese authorities to
suppress news concerning the cholera
the truth has at last come to light
concerning the plague. Japan and
North China are fairly alive with
cholera germs. Siberian officials have
declared Japanese open ports infected.
and from official sources it is learned
that over 1900 people have died in
Japan from the plague since its. start
in the Pescadores.
In China the disease has gained a
firm foothold. Advices by the steamer
Rio Janeiro report that in Toxic the
heat is terrific and the disease germs
have been nursed by the climate into
virulent life. On the Rio Janeiro little
could be learned concerning Yoko-
hama, but nevertheless the plague is
raging there also.
In China at Chez Fow, the disease is
spreading rapidly Miss Turner and
the child of Doctor and Mrs. McFar-
lane of the Chu Chat London mission,
were stricken down and died. At
Marking much illness prevails among
the foreigners, many of whom have
been forced to flee from the country.
The ravages of cholera in Japan are
far greater than have been reported.
Up to August 26, just before the Rio
sailed, 1855 deaths from the disease
were reported.

HENRICKsEN ON THE ACTION OF
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.

Chairman Heinrichsen of the state Dem
Ccratic central committee, said last
night:
81 have read the address issued by
group of gentlemen calling themselves

which they have no right to, forms a
fair sample of the whole address,. The
assertion that the convention of June
did not in its declaration of princi-
pies represent the sentiment of major
ity of the Democrats of this state, and
what they call the silver craze IS dying
out is ridiculous. If possible, the silver
sentiment in this state is stronger now
than when the convention was held
There is not county in Illinois where
the vote of the Democrats would not
show an overwhelming majority for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at ratio of 16 to l. For a fraction of
the Democratic party, which has hoisted
men like Brice and German into leader

party, to talk of bringing about further

of light from an electric lamp illumln-

cheers-the exposition was formally
opened.
When the president touched the but
ton the electricity opened a small valve,
which forced a jet of steam against
a larger one, and this opening the
steam was admitted to the cylinders.
Mr.. Foster was sitting by the big en-
CINE waiting for the signal from the
president. He held his head close 10
the electric valve for an hour. When
the valve clicked and the kissing steam
poured into the cylinder, he waved his
hand to the engineers around him and
at once all engines were opened. The
wheels began turning and the ponder
Gus machinery announced the opening
of the great show.
Standing on the banks of Lake Clara
Nicer, Mr.. Luther Steinger directed
the operations OF the fountain, the
greatest electrical creation in the his

begins with every good omen in its
favor.

IDAHO RAILWAYS.
ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT MOVE
ON FOOT.
If Contaminated, 1t Will Mean Much
for the Country Through which
the Road Will Run.
fsnecial 10 The Hera1d.l

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 1S.-Another
scheme is on foot which, if consummated,
will give this city the much-desired rail-
road communication with the mining
camps of Silver City and DeLamar. For
the past three weeks, A. w. Middleton,
representing New York capitalists, has
been examining one of the proposed
routes between this city and Silver City.
Prior to this. he had made examinations
south to the California connection and
to the northern part of the state. Mr..
Middleton left Tuesday for New York,
and the object of this mission was not
known until after he had departed.
From a gentleman who was instrumental
in measure in getting Middleton out
here. it is learned that his plan is to
build a road from Moscow in the north
ern part of the state to this city by way
of Seven Devils Copper district. From
here the road is to reach Silver City and
DeLamar and extend beyond to secure
connection in California. Middleton is
said to be the personal representative of
a New Yorker who is at the head of
combina ton that has almost any amount
of capital for legitimate investment. The
opening of big gold mines in this part
of Idaho has, no doubt, had a magnetic
effect on the combine and caused them
to look into the railroad proposition
which was laid before them a year ago.

BUzZARD's BAY, Sept. 1S.-The
gold-rimmed button, attached to a
wire connecting Gray Gables, the
summer home of President Cleveland,
with the motor in Machinery hall at
the Cotton States and International
exposition at Atlanta, Ca, was
pressed by the chief executive of the
United States at 6:O6 this evening
The act, coming at the close of an
elaborate opening programme at
Atlanta was intended to furnish a
fitting climax to the days events in
that city AT the moment the button
was pressed at Gray Gables, the
wheels of the great exposition hun
dreds of miles distant were started.
The line of the Western Union Tele-
graph company yesterday completed
connection between Gray Gables and
the main line of the company, which
runs parallel with the New York,
New Haven & Harlem River rail-
road. The wire, after being carried
over the poles, bearing the private
telephone line into Gray Gables, ended
in what is known as the Gun room, -
an apartment on the second floor, in
which the president keeps his hunting
and fishing apparatus. The button
was placed not far from the tele-
phone cabinet and here, in the pres
ence of the presidents family, Private
Secretary Thurber, Western Union
employees and a few representatives
of the press, the president filed the
part for which he was cast.

ex-City Attorney Upton. charged with
receiving money for corrupt purposes
while acting as city attorney, and
Frank Bruce, charged with unprofes-
sional conduct.
In the case of Upton, who is well

received money from persons who
were interested in having certain
municipal legislation nullified by in
activity. on. the part of the city at
torney and that he was guilty of con-
duct grossly unprofessional and high
" reprehensible. The report was
adopted after a warm fight in the
association meeting, but punishment
was reserved for the future.
Bruce was also found guilty, and
instructed to deliver up his certificate
or stand disbarment proceedings.
The Upton case has caused the big
gest kind of row among Boise at
torneys His friends say the associa-
ton will never inflict punishment.
The opposition assert if the associa-
ton does not, the matter will be laid
before the supreme court. The result
will probably be the disruption of the
association, which has been the pride
of lawyers all over the state for years.
At the association meeting, Con-
gresham Wilson denounced Upton s
action in scathing terms, pronouncing
it a felony. The city Lexowers claim
Upton is only the first victim of their
process. and that some equally start

the means of promoting the cause
were discussed at length.
1t was decided that a campaign OF
education was the first necessity, ana
it was resolved to begin upon it at
once. The management of the work
was placed in the hands Of an eXecu-
tive committee, to be formed OF three
members Of each of the organizations
represented in the consolidation.
The national silver committee, OF
Memphis, selected for its representa-
tives Congressman ]. H. Acklen, of
Tennessee; NJ. w. Rusck, Of Colorado.

ner certainly will be one of the repre-
sentatives Of the league on the execu-
tive committee, and Thomas G. Mer-
rill. of Montana, and Edward B. Light
and probably other members from the
union.
The executive committee of the ma
tional silver committee formulated res
olutions to the effect that the Ameri-

join with the national silver commit

presidential ticket upon a platform
with the sole plank providing for the

tional place in the currency of our
