ABOUT ILLITERATE VOTERS.

The Maryland legislature has just
passed the illiterate Acknowledgement
bill and it is now in the hands of the
governor.
We believe that this is good law.
A man who can neither read nor write
should not be voter from the fact
that he does not know and is incapable
of learning. He is compelled to de-
pend upon the election clerk to mark
his ballot and when once deposited in
the box it may be voted to suit him
or otherwise. Another very bad iea-
ture is that it nullifies the secrecy of
the ballot, thus opening up a perfect
wilderness Of avenues for the practice
OF fraud and corruption. We have
had many circumstances happen
within our own knowledge and obser-
walton where the voter was wholly
unqualified to cast his vote without
assistance and such proceeding is al
ways unsatisfactory all around. If it
is democratic officer, the republican
thinks there is something wrong and
a trap is laid to catch him, and vice
versa. The whole thing is wrong for
both sides will take advantage of the
ignorant voter as long us he is per-
mitted in the polls. The purity OF the
ballot in this state at future elections
demands this kind OF II law in the
Washington statutes.

10000 Catholics Observe The
Jubilee.

More than 10, 900 Catholics in
Louisville have observed the iubi-
lee of the holy year proclaimed by
Pope Leo XIII. Each of these
40, 600 people made sixty visits to
the fonr churches designated by
Bishop McCloskey and recited
prayers to gain the jubilee indul-
gence. The time for making the
jubilee expired on Wednesday.
Those who have been unable to
make the jubilee on account Of
illness may yet conform to the
regulations by other devotions as
directed by the pastor of their
church.
Catholics all over the world
were given six months in which to
make the jubilee. Bishop Nc.
Closkey is highly gratifed that Of
the 80, 200 Catholics in Louisville
all but a few thousand have made
the jubilee. A few months ago,
in order to make it easier on those
who wished TO conform to the reg
ulations, he permitted those who
visited the four churches of st.
Boniface, st. Patrick's. the Cathe-
dral and St. Mary's, on Eighth
street. and thousands availed
themselves of this privilege on
Sunday afternoons. Those who
did not make the jubilee in this
way made fifteen visits each to the
four churches named or sixty
visits in all. 1t is required that
those who make the jubilee shall
go to confession and communion
and be in the state of grace when
they make the jubilee.
