We have received from the Penn
sylvania Civil Service Reform asso-
citation the copy of a memorial in which
il petitions the state legislature to
amend the present ballot law by do
ing away with party columns and by
providing that the names of candidates
be arranged by alphabetical order un-
der the title of the Office to be filed.
We have already advocated these
changes on the two-fold ground that
they would promote simplicity and me-
cessitate a more careful and thought

Lord Salisbury's explanation Of the
decision of the powers with reference
to Crete will. we should think, hardly
satisfy intelligent European opinion. II
the Cretans don't want to be governed
by Turkey, why should they be forced
to? 1t is clear that they don't, and it
is also clear that if the King OF Greece
can keep up his nerve short time long
er he will be enabled yet by public
sentiment to carry his point

something from the moment they begin
to work, If it is only in their unskilled
labor of backing stoves or pairing pota-
toes, which is the first grade of unskilled
work in the cooking classes. The boy
who has saved up his money in the repub-
lie bank invests his surplus when he
leaves, If ne choose, in these results of
his handicraft. There is no compulsion;
1t would not be consistent in republic
to compel it's citizens to work. Here again
is the object lesson of working for what
they need or going without One of the
practical acts of their Legislature was a
bill declaring in so many words. No tax
snail be levied for the support of the able
bodied boy or girl who can work and
won't"
"In all the classes the hours for work
ing are from half-past eight in the morn
ing to noon. The afternoon is given up to
recreation until half-past five, SO that the
children shall feel only the joyousness of
well-spent time and none of the depres-
sion Of continent, except in the case of
prisoners, their keepers and the police
force on duty. A citizen presents himself
for work at any hour that he chooses,
but his absence being deducted from his
wages soon teaches him the wisdom Of
working full hours. The unskilled la
borer receives but 80 cents a day, and his
ViiiiilS eHpeHSts wv CeiltS Ioi edCl lhtdi'
10 cents for lodging and about cents for
taXes), with the necessary ncldentals, are
at the least i3 cents a day. 1t will easily
be seen it would take but short time TO
run badly behind. AS the idea is to teach
good citizenship from the first, there are
no states, each class is represented by
one vote for every twelve persons. In
the senate each class has one member
elected for a period of two weeks, who
must be at least 10 years of age. Mr..
George himself acts as the president, with
the power of veto. During 1895 he vetoed
only eight bills and signed fifty-four."

their representatives in public station
do not have both the inclination and
the manhood to voice with emphasis
their detestation of outrages pe.oe-
trated by the myrmidUns OF a foreign
power upon an inoffensive and unof-
Tending American citizen. Instead of
the senate falling in public esteem be-
cause it has stood up, in manly fashion,
for the rights of American citizenship
and for the full measure of respect
due by treaty stipulation from friend
ly power for our national credentials,
exactly the opposite is true. BY no
other act in its history has the present
senate done so much to restore itself
to the favor of the people or to remove
the erroneous impression that 1t has
ceased to be of use in our scheme of
government. 1t is unfortunate when
ignorant journals seek to discredit
virie Americanism; but it is deplorable
when the inane chatter of mugwump-
cry proceeds from a source otherwise
worthy of high esteem.
AS for the delusion that the popular
election of senator's would cause a diff
ference to appear in the quality of the
senate, except for the worse, this hard
ly needs to be controverted. The sim
pie statement that governors, who are
elected directly, are upon the average
certainly not superior, but rather in
ferior, to the senators chosen under the
present system, disposes of the whole
matter. Let us have done with fool
ishness on this subject.

THAT IT WILL.

From the Rochester Democrat ana

If, ten minutes after William Mckinley
shall have taken the oath TO uphold the
constitution and maintain the rights OF
the citizens of the United States, 1t
comes to his knowledge that a single
American citizen is unlawfully impris-
oned in Cuba it Will become his duty to
cause steps to be taken for his release
before the going down of the sun on the

Objection is expressed to the prnci-
pie of "a graded tax on bequests. 1t is
held that the state should collect the
same percentage from an estate of 500
as from one OF $1,OO0OOO. Theoretically
this is true. But it is also true that
in practice the estate of $1OO generally
pays more and gets less from the state,
in proportion, than the million dollar
one. In other words the larger mans
possessions, the smaller, usually, is his
percentage OF actual taxation in COM
parison with the protective benefits re-
ceived by him. The one practicable
way to correct this inequality of taxa
ton during a mans lifetime is to re-
verse the inequality after his death
We admit that this is not very strong
defense of the graded inheritance tax,
from a theoretical standpoint, but il at
least recognizes the states right to
demand its due better late than never.

Including San Domingo, Hayu and
Hawaii there are twenty republics at the
present time in the Western Hemisphere.
VIII it not give influence, prestige and
power to government by the people
throughout the world if they are reduced
by voluntary political union to three?
And is it not a wise policy for this, the
representative republic of the world, by
honorable, peaceful and lawful means to
urge the union as above proposed?

Shooting Tournament.

The tournament for amateurs given
Wednesday by the Columbian Gun
Club, of this city, was one of the most
enjoyable events of that nature yet
given by the Marietta organization.
The program consisted of fifteen regu-
lar matches and several extras. The
shooting was unusually good and many
straight scores were made. P. Schlich-
er, Jr., opened the tournament in good
shape by hitting fifteen targets without
a miss in the first match.
Among those participating were
Schlicher, Bibbee, G. Afford, Tom AL
ford, Hall, Wallace, McVey Norton,
Gorham, Bower, Wright, Clark, Verges,
Goodno, Mallory, Cunningham, Forbes,
Curtis, Epstein and Cole. We are un-
able to give the detailed score on ac'
count of limited space.

wreck Mt rSinboiton.

Yesterday evening while the North

they cut their train in two to open a
road crossing and left the caboose aud
several cars standing on the the main
track while they did their switching.
The heavy coal train which followed
the local dashed round the curve and
did not notice the local until they were
close upon 1t. The engineer reversed
his engine, called for brakes, but the
train was running at high rate of
speed and dashed into the local cars
with crash. The caboose and four
coal cars were demolished and scat
tered in all directions. Ledlie's lawn
was badly torn up and the tool house
was completely demolished. The en-
gineer and fireman jumped. The fire.
man was uninjured, but the engineer
received badly sprained ankle. The
wreck crew was called out and it was
near morning before the road was
cleared. The loss to the company will
be heavy Ca IN bridge Sun.

Dayton Team Has Easy work with Mari
eta Wednesday.
Nobody expected Marietta to win her
first game against the crack Day
ton team Wednesday, SO it was not
much of surprise to the local fans
when telegram was received from
Manager McKeever, stating that Mari
eta had been defeated by score of II
to 4. The game was very close con-
test up to the sixth inning, when the
score stood three to three, but the Mari
eta boys let down at that point and
the Daytons had easy work.
Wednesdays game was the first meet
ing of the various members of the Mari
eta team, many of whom had been
constantly on the road for two days
and night. Their showing in the
first six innings indicates that they have
the stuff in them and we predict a
much closer score today.
