ter, having no longer to occupy them
selves in retaining at any price the
support of certain elements, have been
able to make step forward, notably
in the electoral question and in the Ia
Dor question. So well has all this been
done that the two sections Of the lib
eral party have succeeded in meeting
each other on a ground which repre-
isents the integral application of their
common principles.
No one today would dare to still re-
proach the new system with complex
ity. Proportionalists themselves were
not without uneasiness in this respect,
in view of the novelty Of the system,
the use of two ballots, one for the
chamber of deputies, the other for the
senate; and finally the considerable
masses of voters, too often illiterate
or nearly So, whose votes had to be
collected and counted. Take, for ex-
ample, the district of Brussels. Di-
vided among SIT polling places, nearly
100000 voters each received there from
one to six ballot papers, the pink for
the senate, the white for the chamber.
Each DdllOJ paper COlldluCu tuC uuAhCS
of either of twenty-five senatorial can
didates or of 107 candidates for the
chamber. In each case the candidates
were divided into lists under party
headings. After having entered the iso-
lated compartment where he marks his
ballot with the stroke of crayon,
each voter comes back to deposit his
white ballot paper in one urn, his pink
ballot paper in another. All this part
Of the operations, which was carried
out in perfect order, terminated at /.
o'clock in the afternoon. At 2 o'clock
the III scrutineers' Offices were In

about o'clock, was finished. between
! S and 10 o'clock in the evening; that is
| to say, all the operations were carried
out with as much precision and more
rapidity than under the old system.

conformably to the law, the next day
at midday, to add up the votes OF each

Its effects are exhilarating, vitalizing,
purifying. Yet it is germicide so
certain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of $1,000 for q disease germ
that it can not kill. The reason is that
germs are vegetables; and Liquozone
like an excess Of oxygen-is deadly
to vegetal matter.
There lies the great value of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissue, too. An. drug that kills germs
is a poison and it can not be taken in
ternally. Every physician knows that
medicine is almost helpless in any

Proportional Representation.
(TWelfth Article

This week | continue Count DIAL
viella's summary of the beneficial re-
suits of the adoption of proportional
representation in the parliamentary
elections of 1900 in Belgium.
A notable result has been to dl-
minish the yirulence OF the electoral
campaign. Candidates have been able
to organize their propaganda without
their adversaries trying to prevent
them, or troubling their meetings.
At Brussels the public assisted at
the curious spectacle Of La League
and "I'Association," both hard at
work, without attacking each other.
In great number of divisions the So
cialists have openly adopted the can
didature of the liberals who were run
ming for the senate, although the two
parties were presenting opposing lists
for the lower house. Even between
Catholics and liberals the struggle has
not reached the pitch which character
lied it under the old system. This Is,
say the advocates OF the old regime,
because the real battle will be Waged
henceforth within the parties them
selves. But is 1t not ralner because
the powerlessness to crush adverSarles
will be felt henceforth, and that 1t will
be indeed necessary to recognize their
rig.t 10 existence? However that may
he. it is an amelioration as notable as
necessary in our political methods;
and it will be fortunate should this
amelioration be felt in parliament also
1--WE have in Belgium confessed
CATER the elections) Hon. Jan Van
Ryswyck to an editor Of La Metro
pole. 1.-THE habit of exaggerating every
thing. 1t is detestable method OF
reasoning. Exaggeration has invaded
all our political life, our journals, our
clubs. our administrations, our parlia-
ment. Proportional representation, in
stead of exaggeration, promotes CAIN
consideration and thought; it tends to
wisdom and pacification.
What has become of the reproach
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-03-16

that proportional representation tend
ed toward the disintegration of par
ties? The event has shown that 1t Is
not the parties which are parceled out
at least, it is not the parties having,
as Monsieur the Minister Van den Hen
vel says, cohesion, discipline, pro-
gram truly conciliatory or great inter
ests;" it is, on the contrary, eccentric
groups, undecided shades, isolated can
didates, that have been absorbed, or
put hors de combat.
The moral of the last legislative cleo
ton is that Belgium has room for
three parties, but only for three. Even
in the city of Brussels, which was one
large constituency, returning eighteen
members, so that to carry seat less
than one-eighteenth of the votes cast
was required, the lists of the CONNER
Gals, of the industrial commercials
and of the P. 0. l.. obtained with diff
ficulty some thousands of votes; but
further, neither the independents, in
spite of the personal influence OF M.
Theodor, nor the Christian democrats,
in spite of the intense propaganda OF
Able Daens, have succeeded in reach
ing the ELECTORAL quotient which gives
a seat. Except the one follower OF
Abe Daens elect at Alost, not a dissi-
dent has entered either the chamber
or the senate. The three parties are
certainly more homogeneous today
than they were under the last parlia-
ment.
On the other hand, proportional rep
resentatiOn has put an end to the het-
erogeneous coalitions which have
tended for some years to be introduced
into our politics, and which end in re-
ciprocal disappointments. Everywhere
the radicals, who generally form the
handspring of anti-clerical combina-
lions, have had to resign themselves to
Ego with the moderate liberals or to
struggle alone. AT Brussels, the inde-
|pendents have been constrained to
break with the Catholics, and thus is
terminated an equivocal alliance which
had monopolized for fourteen years the
representation of the district. Each
party, freed from the care Of seeking
DIT duy pl lCC dlllCo WAANA ~ AOpSu W
dupe on the morrow, has been able to
present itself with an integral and
homogeneous program which, for the
first time, perhaps, in an electoral con-
test, was distinguished for clearness
and sincerity.
A superficial observer would be
tempted to conclude that the disap-
pearance of electoral coalitions must
above all profit the Catholics, since it
lis against this party that these combi
nations we're. directed. In reality, 1t
seems that the liberal party will gain
still more by it; not only because it
can henceforth take again its place
openly, without being unduly beholden
to the socialist party, but, further, be-
cause it's new independence has had
for consequence the drawing together
|of it's two divisiOns-the prOgreSS1ves
and the moderates. On the one side
the progressiyes, being no longer con-
strained to handle socialism tenderly,
have caused to disappear one of the
chief reasons of the distrust Of the mod
crates. On the other side, these lat

Revenue and Currency.

Chicago Chronicle: Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw in his annuai report
speaks of the decrease of S2S. 000.0 900 in
the cusoms receipts for the last fiscal
year as compared With 1905 and the
continued decrease during the early
months of the year. In the opinion of
the secretary the decrease was due
rather to special and abnormal condi-
lions than to industrial and trade de-
preston. There has recently been an
increase in receipts and the secretary
sees 10 reason to believe that the rev
enues from this source will be less dur
ing the current fiscal year than they
We're in 1904.
1t is pointed out. however, that the
receipts must be expected to fall be-
low those of 1908 because of the aboli-
ton OF the evenue duty on tea and
the countervaiiing duty IN and
because of the reciprocity treaty With
Cuba.
Mr.. Shaw repeats what he said in his
report of last year in regard to our
bark note currency-that it does not
respond to the varying needs of
seasons or of localities or of changing
conditions of business"
This is obviously true, but Mr.. Shaw
does not propose any rash measures
for imparting elasticity" TO our ma
tional bank circulation. He declares
emphatically that no measure should
be considered which would weaken the
currency by providing for the issue of
anything less safe and secure thai the
note circulation we now have.
Needing this warning against an ac-
tions liable to impair the excellence of
the currency. congress will not be hasty
in adopting any of the plans that have
been offered for imparting elasticity"
to IN part of our paper circulation.
1t is doubtful, TO say the least, whether
II of them is workable. and whether
the probability of success in any case
would not be greatly overbalanced by
the danger of seriously impairing the
quality of our credit CURRENCY.
