HOW TO VOTE.

A subscriber writes: "Will it not
be timely to tell your subscribers anew
about voting this week, under the
new law? I think there will be great
deal of inserting new names here
(writing them) and caution will be
needed to place cross after such
Names" AS an object lesson in vot-
ing, the official ballot for Washington
county has been published. It is the
same for Orleans and other counties,
excepting the nominations for county
officers. Those will appear in the Of
fetal ballot for each county.
If the voter intends to vote the en-
tire state and county ticket, all he
should do is to make cross TX in
the square at the head of the ticket,
and make no other marks thereon.
If the voter intends to vote for
some of the candidates for either
state or county offices printed on the
ballot, bnt not for all, he should make
no mark in the square at the top, but
should mark cross GX1 in the square
at the right of the printed name Of
each candidate for whom he desires
to vote, and make no erasures, or any
other marks, on the ballot.
If the voter desires to vote for any
person, for any office, whose name is
not printed on the ballot, he should
write the name on the blank provided
for that purpose, and mark q cross [Xl
in the square opposite the name he
has written. He should make no
marks upon, or in connection with,
the name of any candidate for whom
he does not desire to vote. The mark
ing of the cross [Xl in the square op
posite the name, printed or written,
of the person for whom the voter de-
sires to vote, is the important and
necessary act. If that is done, the
voter has voted: if it is not done, the
vote is blank.
These observations pertain also to
voting for representative and justices
of the peace. If the voter intends to
vote for any candidate for represent
dU1NS WuOSO udIuS 10 Ou IuC
ballot, he should mark a cross T X in
the square opposite the name of the
candidate for whom he desires to
vote. If, however, Richard Roe has
been nominated for representative,
and the voter prefers to vote for John
Doe, he should write the name of
John Doe in the blank space provided
therefor, and then mark a cross TX1
in the square to the right of the name
he has written. He should make no
other marks upon ticket. He will
proceed in similar way in voting for
any state or county officer. If the
voter is in doubt, read carefully the
cards of instruction which are posted
about the polling place There are
two sets, one for voting for state and
county officers, another for town Of
ficers. These will furnish all needed

Judge Samuel Shellabarger, who
died in Washington recently at the
ripe age of rs, was prominent lead
ser in national politics a genera ton
ago, and has left behind an enduring
name in the legislative history of the
country. He, it was, who drafted the
provisions of the Reconstruction act
in the thirty ninth Congress under
which the seeded States framed new
constitutions. He was chairman of
the special committee appointed in
connection with the Blaine Conkling
controversy over the attack made by
the latter upon the then Provost
Marshal General of the Army. After
brief term sas the representative of
this country at the court of Portugal,
Mr.. Shellabarger returned to this
country as a member of the forty
second Congress, engineered through
the House the famous "Ku-Klux
law which put an end to the organi-
cations formed for the purpose of
political assassination. He was
member of the civil service commits
sion in 1874 and 1875. Since that time
he has resided in Washington and
been recognized as a leader in the
legal profession.

Ii HUNG CHANG.

We follow, as matter of curiosity,
the name of Ii Hung Chang, the
present representative of China in
Europe, now being received with
such Difference by kings, emperors,
and queens. At least Lii Hung Chang
has recommendation, for General
Gordon said of him in 1880, s'Li Hung
Chang is noble fellow, and worth
giving ones life for" Gordon's es-
TEEN for Ii Hung Chang arose from
the aid given him by the Chinese
statesman during the TAPPING re-
bellion. A writer in the Contemporary
ReUieac endorses Ii Hung Changes
ability, even his sincerity of purpose.
1t seems impossible that any sane
Chinaman has not been roughly
awakened by the shaking up Japan
gave him. Mr.. Dimetrius @. Boul-
ger. lntimates, however, that in all
China there are only Ii Hung Chang,
few personages in high rank, and
the Empress Dowager who are not
still sleeping. In direct opposition to
the doing of anything is the literary
class, and in no country in the world
is there class so powerful. 1t seems
incredible, with our ideas of what
is human culture and intelligence,
that millions of people should be
governed by what we consider to be
nothing more than human par
rots. AS far as public admins
tration goes in China, Mr.. Boulger
says the system is good, but what is
worse than bad are the administra-
tors themselves. The literary class
are as the fossils of the past, en-
bedded in the rock and will ever inn
pede progress. Naturally all topics
which are Asiatic lead to one end,
and that is the Russian one. Would
it suit Russia that Ii Hung Changes
efforts to bring modern life into
China should meet with success? Mr..
Boulger insists that "the great pro-
tectiEg arm of the Czarv is to be cir
cled round effete China, and that for
China to keep on sleeping forever,
nestled on Russian knees, is just what
the Minister of Foreign Affairs at ST.
Petersburg wants. s.-Hdrper's Weekly.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
sanlsaslElEEnErEzzEEnCEEE

New York, May pr. G. Dun &
co. S weekly review Of trade says:
The waiting condition which seems
to some people nothing better than
stagnatlon, still continues. But there
is a difference. Thousands OF orders
and contracts are merely deferred be-
cause they can be more safely given a
little later.
There is nothing exciting in the spec
ulative market for eXpCrtable products,
and the stories about damage to wheat
have been numerous, but the general
belief regarding the future supply is
fairly reflected in the decline of 1.63
cents per bushel. The home market
fails entirely to respond 10 short crop
stories, for it is known that stern re-
ports indicate a crop exceeding last
years.
If the output of pig iron were always
reliable barometer of business condi-
tions as some suppose, the returns Of
furnace in blast May 1st, according to
the Iron Age, 1881 tons against 49,
451 tons April 1st, would be conync-
ing, but the increase of stocks unsold
since January /, has been 243,9l5 tons,
and this. deducted from the output Of
furnaces leaves 2,976.34S tons for four
months. which is certainly in excess Of
the actual consumption, because the
stocks of the great steel companies are
not included in the statement Since
the steel billet pool was formed these
stocks have doubtless increased largely
There is scarcely any improvement in
the demand for finished products,
though the bar association has become
strong enough TO enable makers OF steel
bars to get a slightly higher price. The
demand for nails is so light that a
reduction of price is expected. The de-
mand for structural works is less ur-
gent, but yet orders are encouraging
in a number of mills, although new con-
tracts ar scarce at Pittsburg, and the alb
lest observers of the iron market notice
that there are glaring incongrutis be-
tween pig at $3.50, billets at SIS. %
and steel rails at S2S.
Failures for the week: 227 in the Uni
ted States. against 207 last year and 2S
in Canada, against % last yer.

FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE.

The Methodist Conference Takes Action
Favorable TO Arbitration as Against
War.
Cleveland, Ohio, May ga struggle
for the location OF an Episcopal resi-
dence in the northwest, marked the
opening of the Methodist conference to-
day. After much discussion Portland
was named. This completed the list.
For secretary of the Sunday school
and tract society but one ballot was re-
quired. Dr. J. s. Hurlburt, former sec
retary, received 276 out of 413 votes cast,
tn . @%re-eiecting him.
But one ballot was necessary to elect
a secretary of the board OF education.
DR.. Charles H. Payne, the present in
cumbent, received all the votes, 367 in
number.
The manner in which bishops should
be assigned to cities was the cause of a
great deal of argument. The committee
reported in favor of the bishops select
ing their residences in the order OF
their election, but bishop who desired
to continue in any specified place was
20 have the right to so remain. Many
were the arguments for and against the
latter portion of the report, but it was
finally adopted. DR.. w. V. Kelly was
reelected editor of the Methodist Re
view. and DR.. J. NJ. Breckley editor OF
the Christian Advocate.
Ex-Governor Mansur, Of Vermont,
presented the report of the committee
on arbitration. 1t was in the form OF a
memorial to the President of the United
States. 1t set forth the advantages OF
peace over war and says that 1t Will
be a happy day for the world when all
international disputes find peaceful So
lutions.
The committee made no suggestions,
hut left that to superior intelligence
and wisdom in matters of state policy.
This was unanimously adopted and
copies will be sent to the heads OF thlr-
ty-two governments OF the world.
