the truth in regard to the use OF pre-
servative other than cold air shall be
absolutely proved or disproved. The
packers will be given every opportunity
to tell the truth, as will also surgeons
and members of the regular and volun-

afloat by the yellow journals that Judge
Advocate Davis was manfesting par

by Mr.. Davis i'm these words: 81 am

The progress of the inquiry has all

any impression which might at first
have been entertained that the court
was disposed to indulge in whitewash.

liberation but its work has been thor.

Ballot Reform,

a circular recently issued by the
Pennsylvania Ballot Reform associa-
tion bears entcrtainngly as well as
instructively upon the disability clause
in the present ballot act which the
legislature now i'm session has been
asked to amend. AS showing the care
Iessncss with which the act was drawn
it directs attention to the lack of any
- definition Of what was meant by dis
ability and quotes the elastic interprc-
tation of tho late Judge Wickham, to
wit: "a voters disability may result
from ignorance of the law. inability to
read or write. defective vision, palsy,
excessive nervousness, producing abb
normal self-disuust. or other causes"
This CATALOGUES of causes, with the gen
eral addition at the end, might i'm the
associations opinion be made To en-
brace almost everything. In point of
fact the MATTER has come to this: a
man says that he wants assistance and
he gets it, he there any apparent cause
or not
The circular alsu points out that
there was, ana still is, no provision for
testing the good or had faith of the
declaration that 10y reason Of disabil-
ity assistance is desired. and in this
connection "a again quotes from Judge
Wickham. 81 do not think the voter
is obliged to- state the nature of his
disability. THE law confers no power
on election officers to force him to lay
bare perhaps i'm the presence Of scot
hng bystanders specific physical on
mental inhrmit7es which most men,
governed by a feeling common To
humanity, seek to hide from even theiI
closest friends" The result of this
the circular adds. is to render a dec
laration, the truth of which there is
provided no means Of testing, a farce
and to make it the occasion of Il closer
supervision OF voting than was even
POSSIBLE under the old law, and to rem
der the party workers more absolute
than ever over people who could make

wllful ignorance of the law, a ground
OF disability.

Fdture Development

From the New York Sun.

From the New York sun.
m RI OST of the South American
IWNI states have increased their
IlWIlI population several fold since
UOU they throw off the Spanish
yoke. Only in few states has for
cign immigration been a very import
ant factor in the increase, though all
the republics promote immigration by
all means in their power. Even Para
quay, which is commonly regarded as
the least enterprisinG among them,
pays the passage of immigrants from
Buenos Ayres, and supplies oxen and
farming tools, to be paid for in pro-
duce or labor. All the republics have
vast, unoccupied spaces that some day
will contribute largely to the national
wealth. But at present there are not
enough hands to till the soil or start
the wheels of manufacture. Even in
Chill, one of the most prosperous
states, there is no dcnscly peopled re-
giOn except the provinces around Val
paraiso and Santiago. If any part of
the civilized world has reason to de-
clare that the human race is not cquit-
ably and nationally distributed it is
South America. With Europe over
crowded and the United States no long

o
Major Sears, I'm lecture before the
American Geographical society has
said that Peru. more than any other
nation, is copying our laws and meth
DDS. We have important interests
there. for American capital is invested
in the mines, in shipping, in railroad
building and i'm agriculture. The most
extensive sugar machinery plant in the
world is at Lurfico. near the coast, and
is the property of an American. When
the people We're suffering from the
Chilian invasion the property of for
eiSners was sacredly guarded from
spoliation and the considerable foreign
element in the country testites to the
adequate protection given to foreign
interests. Chill has grown In popula-
tion more rapidly than any other And
Inc region. There are about 100000 for
eigners in the country, but the annual
immigration is small, though steadily
encouraged by the government. Vast
stretches of good land still await the
farmer, and considerable colonies,
chiefly Germans and Swiss. have set
tied in the southern provinces. OF late
years the Italians have headed the list
of newcomers. The mining industries
Of the north and Santiago and other
manufacturing and trading centres
have especially attracted immigration.

In the next century Argentina 5
growth bids fair to be commensurate
with her vast resources, and newcomers

there are over 100000 foreigners in
