with the practical question it seemed
hard for our delegates to decide upon
a measure which would accomplish
the cherished end, without saddling
too much expense upon our tax
payers.
So far as we can learn, and wehave
every reason to believe that our in
formation is correct, it is the purpose
of the present Legislature to pass a
primary election law. The only
reason why no bill has so far been in
PRODUCED is because of the perplexi-
ties which the different bills which
have been offered, contain; and at
the present time the matter is being
thoroughly investigated by our repre-
sentatives and it is probable that a
bill will shortly be introduced.
The trouble with all the measures
so far presented is the expense that
will be entailed upon the taxpayers.
To have sworn officials to conduct
these primaries will cost money and
it is question whether the taxpayers
will agree to stand the additionalex-
pense. The bill now under contem-
plation would require the expendi-
ture of about $4,000 annually for
the pay ofjudges, clerks and other
incidentals. It would seem no more
than fair that the candidates them
selves should be made to pay at least
a portion of this and it is contem-
plated by the delegates in Baltimore
City to pass law to this effect. The
members from this county would
doubtless be glad to hear from their
constituents on this important sub
ject and we feel sure that they are
anxious to give the people what they
demand. 1t is only question of the
best means of accomplishing the de-
sired results.

A PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

We have received letter from one
of our friends whose polling place is
in Dublin, for asking some information
in regard to the primary election law,
which was promised i'll the last Demo-
cratic State platform. Our CORE
spondent says that he is tired of
going to the primaries and having
his vote killed by some simon-pure
Republican who is allowed to partici-
pate without hindrance. We agree
with him thoroughly that it is the
duty of the Legislature to take
prompt action somewhat on the line
as laid down by the general election
law. There is a floating element,
among our voters to whom the
right of suffrage is now permitted,
who does not care one single iota
for party principles, but is perfectly
willing to vote, both at the primaries
of either party or at the general
election, "for revenue only" I'm
fortunately, this floating element
very often controls the balance of
power, and it is especially true inthe
precinct in which our correspondent
is a voter and is therefore more
forcibly brought to his mind.
The reading public is doubtless
aware that The 43gis was among
the first papers Of the State to urge a
legalized primary and at the session
two years ago, made an earnest
effort to bring about the desired re-
suits. When confronted however,

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The bill to pension aged teachers
which was introduced by Senator
Moore has passed the Senate by an
unanimous vote. 1t will now go to
the House and it is expected that
there will not be any opposition to
the bill by that body. The measure
authorizes a pension of 5000 a year
out of the State Treasury to be paid
teachers who have taught twenty
five years, when they reach the age of
sixty years and are no longer able,
through physical infrmities, to sup
port themselves.
Delegate Robinette has introduced
a bill changing the method of assess
ing bank stocks. Itprovides that in
no case shall the stock of any corpo-
ration in the aggregate be valued at
less than the full value of real estate
and chattels real or personal held by
or belonging to such corporations
whether the shares of stock are
quoted on the market or not.
The antitrust bill was killed in the
House on Tuesday. 1t failed topass
for the want of a Constitutional ma
jority.
A caucus was held on Wednesday
night by the Democrats to discuss
the amendment to the Election bill,
Hannah oyster bill, the Sewer bill
and other importantpart measures.
The bill to compel the Railways
Company in Baltime to sell six tickets
for quarter has been unfavorably
reported by the committee on Cor
porations.
The resolution of Mr.. Isaac Lobe
Straus to appoint committee, of
which he is chairman, to investigate
the condition of the State Normal
School failed to pass for want of a
constitutional majority.

BALLOT LAW WILL BE CHANGED.

One ofthe most important matters,
now attracting the attention of the
Legislature, is the proposed changes
to be made in the present election
law. Some of the changes have been
definitely decided upon, but Others
are still being discussed. Twopoints
have so far been settled. One is to
make the ballot uniform throughout
the State by adopting a certain style
oftype which it will be compulsory
for the Supervisors of Election to
have used in the printing of the bal
lots; and the other is to have the
ballot in such form as will come as
near prescribing an educational test
for voters as can be done under the
Constitution. Of course, it is well
understood that this is done in &C,
cordance with the anti-election prom
Uses, made by the party, to use all
means in its power to disfranchise
the negro voter. The means coming
nearest to this will be the removal OF
the party designation after thename
of the candidate and in lieu thereof
it is proposed to have the names and
politics of all the candidates printed
on cards and posted in the election
booths. Persons who can read will
not be Inconvenience by this change,
but it will make the instruction Of
the illiterate far more difficult. In
the past, it has not been very hard
matter to teach the difference be-
tween the letter D and the letter R.
In fact, it rendered voting to many
much easier than when the party
emblems were on the ticket.
AS this is in accordance with the
views that have been expressed in
these columns exclusively, so far
as we know of in the State, we
wish it distinctly understood that
we claim no credit for this as we are
not quite in the position ofsome ofour
egotistic neighbors, who like the fly
sat upon the axle of the chariot
wheel and said my what a dust !
do raise" 1t was however, the only
common sense, practical method in
which the party could redeem the
promise which was incorporated into
the state platform. 1t will require
more extensive night schools for the
colored voter than those which were
in operation for several months pre-.
ceding the last election, to teach him
to vote so that his ballot will count.
Another feature of the bill is the
proposition to allow space on the
ticket to give the voter an opportu.
nifty to write out his intention when
he wishes to vote a full ticket oil
either party. There is some objection
to this however, as it destroys the
best feature of the bill which in its
present shape requires the voters to
pass upon the merits of each indi'
vidual candidate. 1t would also
open the door for fraud by allowing
tickets to be marked in a manner
that they might be identified, thus
opening the door to bribery which
was effectually closed when ballot
clerks were abolished.

OF ASSEMBLY, A REASON
ABLE ONE?
The questions of compensation aris-
ing between employer and employee
may and often do occur in two
forms: First the employee is entitled
to compensation for services render
ed; and secondly he is equally entitled
to compensation for such loss or in
jury as may befall him within the
line ofhis service. The hrstis usually
matter OF contract, express or inn
piled, and the compensation is made
in the form of salary or wages rum
ming concurrently with the services;
the second depends upon too many
contingencies and circumstances not
capable of being anticipated, to be
made matter ofantecedent contract
and compensation is usually made in
in the form ofpensions, running from
the expiration of the term of service.
1t is mistake to look upon a PEN
sion as a gratuity or gift for the
sake of charity; a pension properly
conferred is based upon good and
valid consideration equally with a
salary or wages.

Federal Judges hold Office by a life
tenure, but it has been provided, by
law, that any such Judge, after at
tanning the age of seventy years and
after having served a certain number
of years, may, at his own option, re.
tire on full pay. Although it is
known that at least one opponent Of
the proposition now pending in our
Legislature to pension such of our
State Judges as may be entitled tc
it under the conditions prescribed by
the act, thinks that "Our Judges as
upright and cultivated men would
scorn the thought of receiving com
pensation without an equivalent o
service" still we may be allowed to
suggest that no member of the Su
preme Court, although equally witt
our own Judges upright and cult
waited" has ever been known to
"scorn" the full pay allowed by al
act of Congress. Our State Judges
however upright and cultivated
they may be, and our citizens general
ly, will hardly regard a pension
granted in consideration of long ano
faithful service as analogous to ap
preparations made to maintain "Oul
feeble minded and eleemosynary in
stitutions," as does the opponent re
ferred to.
