for office might, of course, inspect this
copy and give information from 1t to
the illiterate voters, but that would be
q most uncertain method for requiring
voters to rest their rights upon.
As for the provision allowing one
voter to accompany one other voter,
but no more. into tho booth, but little
prac tical result would flow from that.
Many illiterate voters would necessarily
fail to find scquaintances at the polls
who could read who had not alsesdy
gone in with one voter.
The ballot system adopted by the
States of New York and Marylsnd, and
perhaps by other States, is the only one
which makes an illiterate voter secure
of his rights, and we should make ours
conform to that. The most important
feature OF that system is the one that
requires copy of the official ballot TO
be kept posted one day at the polls,
where the illlterate voters oan study 1t
with ltterate friends, who can point out
to them the places on the ballot to mark.
We should abolish the constables,
adopt the Maryland bAllos, having en-
blems for different parties. have 1t
posted all day at the polls, and allow
any voter to show his ballot TO the
judges IL he chooses and ask them If 1t
is rightly marked.

SENATOR wICKHAM's ELECTION
BILL,

The bill amending the Walton law
introduced by Senator Wickhsm is
move in the right direction, but it falls
far short Of what Is dema nded by those
who insist that our laws shall secure to
every person entitled by the laws to
vote free snd unrestric ted oppor sunity
to cast his ballot as he wishes and to
have 1t counted IS cast, whether he be
literate or illiterate. The features OF
of the bill, which retain the principle OF
the Australian bsllo.-the secluded
booth, the crowd kept away from tho
polling place, the Official ballot-.hese
and others are good features that all
the people Of the State wish to see re.
tanned.
The defect ia the Walton law is
its want Of adequate provision for IL
Hterate voters making sure that they
cast their ballot according to their
wishes. The constable was never in
tended to secure the illiterate voter in
his right. It WAS intended to defeat
him of his right. Senator Wiokham's
bill wisely abolishes the constable
but the provisions It makes for tho aid
OF the illiterste voters are wholly in
adequate. Those provisions are de-
posi- of one copy presumably only one
copy OF the official ballot for some
time with the clerk OF tn county court
which all men may inspect, and per-
mission to one voter to accompany one
illiterate voter into the booth to mark
his ballot for him.
These provisions fall utterly short of
the necessities OF the case. The bill as
drawn leaves 1t entirely uncertain how
long the copy of the ballot will be de-
posted with the clerk. as it cannot be
deposited before it is printed, and the
electoral board may print it on any day
within thirty days of tho election that
suits them. The copy for the clerk
might not be with him, therefore, six
hours before the election. In such case
1t would, OF course, be impossible for
any prac tioal service to como out OF such
deposit. This could, OF course, be ehsily
cured by amendment, but if the ballot
should be with the clerk whole year il
would entirely fail to answer the needs
of the case.
Not one illiterate voter in ono hun
dred would 60 to the courthouse to ex-
anime the ballot, and SUCH as did would
be embarrassed by their illiteracy and
would bs most diffident in making in
Guiries. The provision would BIO dead
failure SO far as being an obi sct lesson

Shipping Ducks EGGS.

Consul Scott, in II recent report upon
tho trade of tho Chinese town of Swallow,
remarks upon the fact that II 900, 600
fresh eggs figure among tho exports But
no tells us that all arc certainly not fresh,
for it is tho custom to ship ducks eggs
which have been incubatcd to within q
fow days of Matching These eggs arc
brought on board tho steamers packed in
shallow baskets with layers of soft Chinese
paper between and around them. The
baskets arc placed about tho dock swung
to tho awning supports and occasionally
arc put in position near tho boilers, but us
rule tho heat Of the climate is quito suf-
flciont to complete the Matching of tho
eggs. 1t therefore comes about that at tho
end Of tho voyage young ducks arc landed
at Singapore or Bangkok in lieu of tho
eggs which originally formed part of tho
cargo. AS n rule, tho birds como to no
harm, but, on tho contrary, exhibit quito
thriving carance.-Chambors' Jour

Salvini.

The local management announce that
w. M. Wilkinson, the director of the
Salvini Company, has agreed to its selec-
tion OF THE Three Guardsmen," as the
play in which Salvini will appear in his
forthcoming engagement. 1t Is not only
his most popular play, but it ia the most
elaborate OF all his famous prod NC tiona.
The popularity of 1.-THE Three Guards
men" Is perhaps due to the presence of
the great number of characters. Cardi-
nal Richelieu, Anne of Austria, the
Duke OF Buckingham were all directly
connected with the great events Of the
days in which they actually lived, and
The Three Musketeers, Porthos, Athos
and Aramis, have been literary deities
OF fiction ever since they were first in
troduced. But, of course, it is the for
tunes of the daring, reckless, Joyous,
D'Artagnan who is the moving spirit of
the whole theme.
According to our modern standards
D'Artagnan is an impossible creation,
Salvini has endowed his portrayal with
such incompatible naturalism that one
unconsciously listens to his taunts, his
Rallsntry and bravado, and watches his
adven lures, his duels and remarkable
escapades as ia he were a natural, living
individual. That Salvint has been sc.
cured Is matter OF congratulstion, no
matter what be the play; but tina. he
will present 1.-THE Three Guardsmen"
