COOLEY THE LAWS.

The arrangement for codifying the
laws is another matter for which the
session is entitled to great credit. 9th
ers have wrestled with the problem,
but none had the courage TO solve 1t.
Under the terms of the act the state
will within three years have a code of
laws that will be a model and will be
so perfectly arranged that he who runs

ALL CONSIDERED.

The appointment of the committee to
investigate the public institutions was
also a grand thing for the state. The
testimony adduced by this committee
and the valuable light shed by the re-
port upon the in which the
public institutions have been conduct
ed have already brought forth good
fruit in the enactment of laws to cure
l~ong-existing evils, and besides this
the report will furnish a guide for
other reforms of like character for
years to come.
Every bill introduced was given a
fair consideration, and every bill was
disposed of separately, upon it's merits.
Not a bill was allowed TO die because
of lack of consideration. Then for the
first time in the history of the state
both houses dispensed with the services
of the time-honored Sitting commit
tee," which has for SO many years and
in so many states been the instrument
through which the death of very many
meritorious measures has been accom-
plished.
The foregoing is a very brief sum-
mary of the important and wholesome
legislation enacted. Every bill that
was permitted to become a law is pos
sessed OF merit, and in the aggregate
1S9 bills and thirty joint resolutions
were passed.

Pierre, March Joint investigating
committee submitted a voluminous re-
port this afternoon. The report as tothe
findings of facts as is identical with the
synopsis OF the testimony heretofore
furnished by your correspondent but of
course the language is judicial.
1t is extremely free from partisan
reflections. 1t says nothing incrimi-
mating was found against DR.. Meade
and C.. w. Ainsworth. He is not found
guilty or theft OF state property but
his system of bookkeeping is censured.
The facts heretofore published rela-
tive to the board of charities and cor
rections are brought u emphatically
and the members of the board are
scored for pretty pilfering and are held
responsible for nos of the irregulari-
ties.
The committee also, but in mild Ian
guage, censures Governor Lee and Pub-
lie Examiner Taylor for bringing such
grave charges against citizens of the
state upon slight evidence.
Martin, populist, made a desperate
fight for a complete exoneration Of Leo
n Taylor for the insertion of some
language d~erogatory to DR.. Meade.

The Clergyman and the ii,

a true anecdote of the old election
days, which Mr.. Gladstone used TO relate,
will perhaps bear retelling at the mo-
ment. At the celebrated election In 1865,
at which Mr.. Gladstone lost his seat for
Oxford niversity-becoming TO use his
own phrase, 'unmuzzled"-hi opponent
was Gathone Hardy. The practice at a
contested election was for each elector to
record his vote by word Of mouth before
tellcrs for each party.
The late Professor Henry Smith was
acting as teller for Mr.. Gladstone, when
an uncouth country clergyman entered
and, to the usual request for whom he
wished to record his vote, replied, in his
confusion, 81 vote for Mr.. Glad-I mean
for 'Ardy."
81 claim that vote" quietly put in Pro
fessor Henry Smith.
"No, no." protested the clergyman. 81
did not finish the name"
Quite so, but you did not even begin
the other" retorted the professor.-Lon

A GAME THAT TWO COULD PLAY.
Only Old Man Ritchie Played II Bet
ter Than His Partner.

"0ld man Richie was a great char
acter in the early days on the Mississip-
pi," said a local sportsman, spinning
yarns about antebellum gambling and
gamblers. HE had made living out OF
cards for years and. Of course, was up to
all the tricks of the trade, but he was
such bland, innocent looking old boy
that he was continually being picked out
as a mark by sharpers. On one occasion,
while he was loafing around Little Rock,
a very smooth individual of the name Of
Gridley, who had just drifted into the
country from somewhere up in New Eng
land. made his acquaintance and, after
sizing him up pretty carefully, took him
aside and proposed that they 60 in to-
gether and open game of faro.
81 have $1,000 said Gridley, and il
you can raise a similar amount we will
start a nice little gentlemen's club, cater
ing to none but the boiled shirt trade,
and the chances are we can clean up Il
big pot of money 1 guess | can get the
three thousand all right, replied the old
man, but we will have a mighty small
capital. Somebody may come in and
break us in an evening" oh, that's q
risk we've got to run said Gridley, but
we won't encourage high play. Our spe-
cialty will be tone and respectability.'
ITO make a long story short, they went
in together, and on the first night Ritchie
went out to get supper, leaving his part
ner in charge. When he returned, Grid
ley pulled long face. We've had bad
luck he said. While you were gone q
little bowlegged fellow came in and won
$780, 'Oh, well, that's risk we have tc
run! replied Ritchie and said no more
about it. Next night it was the same
story. That confounded bowlegged fel
low was in again while you were eating,
said Gridley, and won out another $500
Too bad grunted Ritchie, but l guess

Or The GRIZZLIES, AND DO NUi
MARK THE BALLOT ELSEWHERE.
ITO VOTE A SPLIT TICKET, THAT
is. FOR CANDIDATES ON DIFFER
ENT TICKETS. DO NOT MARK in
ANY CIRCLE. BUT MAKE A MARK
AFTER EACH CANDIDATE VOTED
FOR.
"Fourth-The vexed question as to
how assistance can be rendered TO
voter who is unable to mark his ballot
is compromised between those who
would allow free choice of any voter
and those who would restrict this duty
to members Of the election board, who
now have more than they can well do,
by restricting the choice OF the assist
ant TO one of the duly appointed watch
ers, and each watcher is required to
take an oath prohibiting the disclosure
of the way in which he marked any
ballot, and is further subjected TO all
the penalties imposed by the bill upon
election officers for any such offense.
so far as possible, the lines of the
existing law which are now fairly un-
derstood and reasonably well settled by
judicial interpretations have been
closely followed except so far as II
seemed possible to simplify either the
method of nomination or the form OF
the ballot. The time within which pro-
tests must be made is limited and NOM
nations are required to be filed with
the officers promptly so that neither
the office OF the secretary of the COM
monwealth nor the Dauphiu county
court will be congested with a multi
tude Of contests within a short time OF
the election
IN CASE OF CONFLICT.
when two or more bodies seek to
use the same political name, claiming
to represent the same party, the secre-
tary of the commonwealth is required
to accept and file the first papers ten
dered, and the other party is compelled
to look TO the court for redress. EN-
cept as to matters of form the duties
Of the secretary Of the commonwealth
are made purely ministerial, although
he may reject any certificate or nomi-
nation paper for patent fraud in its ex-
ecution.
Every candidate is restricted to a
single place on the ticket, and where a
candidate receives nominations from
more than one party or group Of voters
he is held to prefer to have used on
the ballot that one which shall be the
first filed unless he shall within lin
tied time file a paper under oath ex-
pressing preference for some other
nomination.
/ This absolutely prevents any name
appearing twice on the ballot, and yet
by grouping all candidates, under each
title, gives ample opportunity for every
candidate receiving the votes of all of
his friends 1t is senseless for a candi-
dates name to appear more than once
when no elector is entitled to more
than one vote
1T is estimated that this ballot, on
account of its reduced size, will cost
from two hundred to many thousands
less for each county each year
THE question of registration does
not form any part OF this Focht ballot
bill. because the constitution must be
first amended before any reform in that
line can be provided for by legislative
enactment"

A little pencil, slate and rule,

A little rest from hardest toll
A little silver in his hair,

NO ENCISE COMMISSION.
There have been many reports mis-
representing the attitude Of the Re-

ing of liquor licenses.
There has never been any intention
on the part Of the influential leaders Of
the Republican organization to ad-
vance the bills which provide for the
appointment Of excise commissioners,
who shall have full control of the
granting OF liquor licenses. The policy
of the Republican leaders is to have
the judges Of the courts Of common
pleas continue to pass upon all applica-
tions for liquor licenses
II is believed that the story that the
party leaders were going to take this
power away from the judges originated
from the desire Of one OF the Judges.
