Judge Freeman of Illinois has rendered
Il decision which seems to trench very
largely upon personal liberty, to smack
OF the times and methods of Torquemada
and to break up the bedrock OF the Aus
tralian ballet system.
The decision is to the effect that under
that system voter can be compel ed to
disclose for whom he cast his ballot.
Just how the voter is to be induced TO
make this disclosure is not pointed out
and to the average citizen it looks like
an attempt to make the horse drink after
he is led to the water.
Among the inalienable rights of the
people OF this country, besides those
mentioned in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. is that OF voting for whom they
please. The principle consideration in
adopting the Australian system was that
every man might enjoy this privilege
unnliuenccd by any other man, and be
the keeper Of his own secret as to per-
sonal preferences. a test case of the
points OF Judge Freeman's decision
would be Of interest to every citizen oil
this country. Tacoma Ledger.

Three important Oregon appointments
just made by President Mckinley strong
ly emphasize his position on Federal pat
ronage, and make it clear that he pro-
poses to follow recommendations of Re-
publican congressman and senators in
the various states. 1t is an interesting
TACT that these appointments were recon-
mended by Senator Mcbride and the two
Oregon congressman, and that they were
all made in the face OF the protest Of Mr..
Corbett, the appointed senator, at least
as to one or two of them. The president
no doubt feels that il will be time to lis
ten to Mr.. Corbett when he takes his seat
If he does. 1t may also be interesting
to add that these Oregon appointments are
the direct outcome OF more or less ques-
tionable political jobhery, and have a d.
rect bearing upon the respective candi-
dacies for reelection OF the present dele
CATION. If other examples are wanting
recent appointments in Washington have
made it apparent that this course is not
nprecedented.- Post

AMONG THE MAGAZINES.

The complete novel in the November
issue OF Lippincott's is THE Price of Il
WIFE," by John Strange Winter (Mrs.
Stannard. 1t is tale OF English domes-
tic life, and one of the best which the
author OF "Bootles' Baby" has written of
late years. "Out Of Meeting" is re-
markable paper, half story, half SKETCH
by the late Thomas Wharton. The in
wardness OF the Quaker character, and
its lingering influence on those who have
LETT the fold to join the worlds people,
have never been handled with greater
insight or more delicate appreciation.
For His Own People" is tale of Ha-
walan sacrifice by Adelinc Knapp, who
has seen and crossed the terrible crater
OF kilauca, which she describes. William
Thomson narrate5 "a Brazilian Adven-
ture."
"Thc First Thanksgiving" Gillian
Bells First Days in London" and "When
DR.. Whitman Added Three Stars to Our
Flag" are among the leading features OF
the November Ladies' Home journal.
The first tells OF the most historically
important dinner in America, at which
indian chiefs were guests, and at which
oysters were first eaten by white men
Miss Bell finds much in London to inspir-
spine her pen to its smartest activity, and
the descriptions of her sightseeing tours,
her impressions and experiences fairly
sparkle with wit. DR.. Whitman's ser
vice to the United States in saving Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho from the
British are acknowledged in an article
which follows the first women across the
continent, and the first whites oyer the
Rocky Mountains. Magician Kellal
writes on GLOW l Do My Tricks" show
ing how simple is their solution when i,
is known.

debts is illustrated by an incident which
took place recently at Eldorado, Kan. A
Butler county farmer went to Il bank in
Eldorado and informed the cashier that
he desired to pay Il mortgage OF $500
which the bank held against his farm.
The cashier found the mortgage and
discovered that it WAS not due until next
February, and was drawing interest at 8
per cent so he informed the farmer that
the dc bt could not be paid until maturity.
The farmer insisted on paying and the
cashier refused to accept the money.
Then this agricultural repudiator placed
the $500 on the counter, drew Il A calibic
revolver and served notice on the cashier
that he was really anxious TO take up
that mortgage. 1t is needless to say that
the cashier yielded gracefully to the ar
gument presented by the farmer and cam
ccled the obligation.
This proves the truth Of the republican
charges that Kansas men are 'iepudia-
tors" 1t also proves that dollar wheat;
enabled this farmer to pay bis debts. 1t
further demonstrates how much rhilan-
thropy exists in the hearts of money lend
ers. 1t proves, in addition, that Il rise in
the price OF agricultural products means
prosperity, and it demonstrates that
when bimetallists make the rise in the
farm crops permanent by securing the
reconciliation Of silver, there will be no
reputation OF debts, but, OH the con-
trary, Il prompt and efficient desire to
settle every outstanding account.-'eattlc
