1 EATLTI R1LLOT

The defeat of the Ward ballot bill in
the Assembly need not cause any particu-
lar regret The bill sought TO put an end
10 the duplication Of names that occurs
on the present ballot and vet provide for
straight ticket voting. II accomplished
the former purpose 10y grouping the can
didates not according To parties but I'M
der the offices for which they were nom
mated. ms i'm the Massachusetts ballot.
and the latter purpose by grouping party
embemS and circles for straight voting
also by themselves on another part of the
ballot The result of the change would
probably have been to encourage unintel-
ligent and undiscrimnatinG voting Tn
der the present system when q voter puts
his mark in the circle at the head of the
column he at least has the names Of the
candidates for whom no votes under his
eyes. II the Ward bill had become a
law he would not have had them there
hut could have found them only by tax
Ing pains 10 look all over the ballot.
This question of straight ticket or
individual voting probably cannot he
solved apart from the reform that has
come 10 be called the short ballot"
which aims 80 to reduce the number of
elective Offices that no one will seriously
object TO voting separately for candi-
dates 10 fill each of them. So long as
there are AZ many unimportant places 20
be filed by popular vote as there are
now. the public will probably insist upon
an easy way of performing a perfunctory
task by voting for all the candidates on
a ticket at once

OFFICERS RETIREMENT BILL.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There is lack OF understanding as
to the present efforts to secure the enact
ment Of bill looking TO the retirement OF
the surviving officers OF the Civil War and
the ground upon which action is sought.
Many think the officers are now pensioned
as officers and the enlisted men as a diff
ferent class but there has never been
line of legislation in behalf OF the volun-
teer officers of the war of 1876; and
now. as one Of your correspondents writes,
comes the officers retirement bill"
Now. let it be understood that the Off
Gers arc not asking for pensions for them
selves. They have asked and worked for
such for the enlisted men, and have re-
JolCed with them I'm every advance the gov
eminent has made in their favor, until now
they are getting more in pensions than they
received in wages during their active sex
vice
What the officers are asking is that the
promises MADE by President Lincoln and
Congress when the call was issued for vol
unteers when the army Of tho SOS was or
ganIzed shall at this late date 10 r.
deemed. 1t was then promised that the
volunteers should be treated in all respects
as the soldiers OF the regular army.
This promise was made I'm good faith ana
accepted so by the governors of the sew
eral states; but until now the fulalment Of
it has never been pressed, which, 81 may
he, Is the reason il has been allowed To lie
unfulhlled. The provisions of the warne--
Townsend bill now pending accord with the
pledge made at the time of the enlistment
of the volunteers
The estimated cost OF this measure is
sone Sl4.000.o O0. but the surrender Of pen
sions now being paid to these men will
reduce the amount materially 20 begin
with. and each year thereafter it will nat
urally become smaller on account Of
deaths. In about ten years. according to
expectancy. the volI Of these men Of honor
viii be out % existence.
The bill makes the basis OF payment that
o. the initial pay OF a captain. No Office
above that rank can have more than three
fourths the pa OF a captain. while those
OF lower rank can have only one-half pay
OF the rank actually held

features Of all the several bills on the quez-
ton OF pensions now being considered bv
