Amend the Election Law.

In the extensive opinion filed ia
the governorship contest case the
Supreme court suggested how the
election law can be amended so as 10
avoid similar difficulties as those
which brought about the late hear
ing
The members of the court beIieye
IN the beneficial system of the Aus
traiian law, so called, and saw of it:
1--WE believe it proper to suggest
that certain amendments to the law
as It exists will obvi,te many, if aot
all, Of the objections mn le to the
validiy of the allo's. l. is M Dos
sible under the present ~ys.e.n OF
marAinS with prhcIl, to . tiIn uGi-
tormity III tine form of marAlngs.
This difficulty can be overcome bv
requiring, as III other States; that
the markings shall be made with a
rubber stamp. Many objections
Were also made to ballots because of
writing made thereon by election
officials. This should be strictly
prohibited by the law, except in case
of rejected bal OTIS, and in those
cases inspectors should be required
to certify over their names, upon
the back of the ballot, that it was
rejected by them in the count, brief
ly stating their reasons therefor.
We also suggest that the law be so
amended as to require, in direct and
specific terms, the place or position
where the elector shall make his
cross as indicating his choice of can
didates. With these amendments,
the law which has been so bene-
ticial in its results and accomplished
so much for the publication of our
elections, would would be nearly
perfect, and nearly. if not quite all
vexatious litigation which has gown
up by reason of these defects avoid
ed.
1t is gratifying to be able to state
that in this protracted proceeding.
in which the representative counsel
spared neither time nor energy
in their efforts to present to the
court such facts, if existing, as would
impeach the integrity of the votes
cast for the opposite candidate in
the several counties, no evidence
was found to cast suspicion upon
the integrity or good faith of any
candidate, officer or elector. II
clearly appears that said election
was entirely free from bribery, in.
timidation and coercion, which are
said to prevail at elections
in other States. The illegal
markings found upon ballots which
necessitate their rejection in this
case resulted from the carelessness
of voters, and the lack of paying
attention to the simple mandatory
provisions of the statute.
The decision found that Reinhold
Sadler received 3,446 legal votes
and William Mcmillan received
1888 legal votes.

not more than one dog in four faithful

BURIAL INNOVATION.
Some Up-tO-Date Women in France
Have Pall-Bsarers of Their
Own Sex.

The women Of Avesnes-lez-Aubert,a
little hamlet that lies white under the
blue skies of northern France, indiffer-
ent to the events of this life, insist with
an energy that has drawn the atten-
ton of all France on arranging TO
suit themselves the ceremony of their
going hence. They have decided that
from now on, they shall be carried to
their burial no longer by men, but by
women. In pursuance of this deci-
sion, they recently opposed the burial
of one of their number by ordinary
routine, and asked that it should be
done as they desired. This was not so
easy. France is land where all the
men are functionaries, and where each
believes that if he is ousted the wheels
of the universe will stop. The mel
then insisted; the women were firm:
the police INTERVIEWED. Hence scandal.
The battle remained with the women.
and they will have their own way l..
the future, for they have decided that
henceforth their written testament
shall express in the matter their for
NAL desire.
This little episode has nothing to do
with women's rights as officially I'M
derstood. The women of Avesnes-lcs-
Aubert probably never heard of femi-
ninism. 1t : : Of an innovation, but
matter of sentiment and a return to the
past. There is an old tradition in the
country that the women shall bury the
women. The men have invaded,
usurped and raised into public func-
ton pious duty that formerly be-
longed to the women, and which the
women wish to resume. And those who
have seen it say there is no more touch
ing spectacle than this of woman car
rying their own to the tomb. Among
the winding paths of pasture land the
white coffin of some young girl is borne
by those of her own age, while the pines
and the winds make melancholy music
in their ears, and the horizon seems to
widen and stretch away to infinity.
And the wheels of the universe continue
to turn as if there had never been any
functionaries in the world.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
