There isn't a particle of doubt that
If the official ballot We're printed all

electors, and these put on a separate
ticket and kept for counting in a sep
arate box, no serious injustice would
be done to any citizen qualified to cast
an intelligent ballot. OF course this
change will never be made, but it ought
to. Neither is there any doubt that
there should be two extra election off,
GERS, one from each party, to mark the
ballots of disabled or illterate voters
in accordance with such voters ex-
pressed wish; and that these ballots
should be separately recorded and kept
in u separate box, subject to recount
in case of contest. Neither is this re-
form to be expected. The outlook for
real Improvement in ballot methods is
not promising.

The 0reenback.

1t is unfortunate that so many Of the
commercial bodies which are urging
the cancellation of the greenback Go
not suggest something calculated to
take the grecnback's place. The SCran-
ton board of trade the other evening
took a step somewhat in advance of the
average position on this subject when
1t adopted the Lansing resolution rec
OmmendiIg that congress authorize
national banks in villages Of less than
5000 population to begin business on a
capital of $4,000. The adoption of
this suggestion, together with certain
other notifications of the national
banking law whereby banks may at
their discretion issue notes to an
amount equal to their full capital un-
protection os note holders, would doubt
less do much to facilitate a ready cir
culation of the currency and thereby
stimulate business in communities now
crippled by the lack of good banking
facilities.
But in spite of the great hullabaloo
on this subject, we are not at all sure
that it is desirable to retire the green
backs. We think good bit of the
present criticism of them is dishonest
ard unfair. Our present currency is
the best in the world. 1t employs
greater amount Of secured paper than
any other system known, and the
superiority Of the greenback over the
bank note IL that II represents, in ordi-
nary times. no interest cost to the peo-
pie. 1t Is true that since the Demo-
cratic party took hold of affairs in 1892
the greenback has given trouble, be-
cause used as a means of draining gold
from the treasury. and has cost the
country nearly double it's face value
through bond sales forced in order to
secure its redemption. But we blame
the Democratic party rather than the
greenback for this condition. The
greenback doesn't cause any such
mischief when confidence Ia general,
when industries are thriving. and when
there is no suspicion as to the govern
mant's ability and determination to
keep all its dollars on a partly with
gold: I'm other words, 1t doesn't cut any
such capers under Republican admin
istratiop.

For a Naturalization Commission.

A suggestion of more than ordinary
moment is advanced by Colonel w. p.
Rend, of Chicago, president of the Busi-
ness Mems Sound Money association
of that city. Now that the country has
been saved by its business men from
currency debaseinent, he proposes that
they shall maintain their present Or
ganization long enough to save 1t also
from the evils growing out Of lax ma
turalization laws and hasty grants of
citizenship. He wants all those or
ganiZa tions to unite in a petition to
congress asking for the establishment
of federal Naturalization commits
sion, similar in its organization to the
Civil Service commission, to examine
applicants for citizenship and formu-
late rules To- govern the grading of ex-

much truth:

it is necessary task; indeed, an indis-

We think they have planned wisely.

speak its native tongue and are fami-

point should be to familariZe these
adopted citizens with the language of
the country of their adoption. Once
this Is accomplished. the greater part
of the problem will have been solved.

America is narrated and in which
American principles are discussed and

One thing which impressed ex-Attorney
General Palmer and X-Congressman
Amerman during their recent stay in Ire
land on business connected with the
Handley estate was the slow procedure of
the Irish courts as compared with our
own. Noluminous briefs are employed,
and the learned judge himself laboriously
takes down the evidence, while we have
stcnograDher who does this work in
one-tenth the time. The result Is that
while the lawyer in Ireland gets a bigger
fee as rule in any particular case than
the Yankee attorney, yet he has fewer
cases. They don't have the snap and go
about their court practices over there
that we do here. This, be it remembered,
refers to civil cases: in criminal cases
the exact reverse Is true. There they can
give US cards and spades in the matter OF
celebrity.
