For the dog?"
For my trunk"
And now Mallory annihilated her
completely. for he gasped: Our
trunks are on the train ahead"
Marjorie fell back for one moment,
then bounded TO her feet with shrill
commands: Porter! Porter | want

CHAPTER xv-(continued)

And now he was sprawled and snor-
ing majestically among his many lug
cages, like a sleeping lion. Revenge
tasted good to the humble porter; it
tasted like a candied yam smothered
in 'possum gravy. He smacked his
thick lips over this revenge. With
all the insolence of a servant in brief
authority, he gloated over his prey
and prodded him awake. Then muir

Certainly not! It's too much

"Confound you!"
The porter lured him on: is you

Wedgewood was wide awake now,
and surly as any Englishman before

Wedgewood gathered himself to-

cts with increasing anger, muttering
under his breath. At length he pro
duced the ticket, and thrust it at the
porter: "Thah, you idiot, are you con

The porter gazed at the billet with
ill-concealed triumph. "Yassah. Is

The porter disdained TO refute this
slander He stumbled down the aisle
with the bundles It's too bad. it's
sutt'nly too bad, but you sholy must

Wedgewood followed, gesticulating
violently.
"Here-wait-how dare you! And

Now Orleans States: In proclaim

The Constitution Of The United
States. Secretary Bryan informed
those who witnessed the event that
he considered il the most important
reform affecting the methods 81
government that has been made IN
a century. It makes more respon-
sible The duties Of citizenship, be
cause it gives the people the right
10 elect United States senators-a
right which should always have
been in cur hands.
The great principle OF our system
of government is that the people
shall rule: but they can not rule
when somebody else does their vol
ing for them. or when there are
laws which make it possible tol
certain officials to be chosen with
out the people having voice in the
matter. Heretofore the people nave

bcrs of the upper house of Congress,
and as they have now come lnlt
their right, ii is, as Mr.. Bryan says
"thc greatest reform in century.
"1'his should be followed says
The pittsburg Post, "by other re-
forms along similar lines, until ev-
cry official who serves the people
shall be chosen by them. There are
appointive offices that should be
filed by popular vote. 1t is repug-
nant to the independent instlnc
that officials should be forced OF
the people against their wishes AM
despite their protests
Tho. reforms of which the Pos
speaks will not be long delayed. The
people realize fully the great trl,
umph that the election of senators
means to them. and they will con

Reopenind the Ballot Boxes.

New Orleans Picayune: The action
of Governor Hall in requesting the
district attorneQ to have the ballots
cast at the election of November re-
examined by the grand jury, with
view to ascertaining whether the
apparent mscounting of the ballots
found TO exist in the case Of the con-
slitutional amendments also existed
in the count of the votes for presi-
Dental electors or other individual
candidates. is to be commended, as
such an examination will set at rest
the rumors to the effect that the
worst sort of fraud was committed
at the last general election, not
merely in counting the votes on the
amendments but in all other parts
of the ballots.
The decision OF the courts that
the election law did not cover the
counting of votes on constitutional
amendments made it necessary to
set aside all The indictments by a
former grand jury against a large
number of commissioners and clerks
of election. There is not the shadow
of doubt, however, that the law
does apply to the counting of votes
for presidential electors and city
and state candidates. II The same
Irregularities are found to exist In
The count of the vote for presiden-
tial electors or any of the local Of
fleials as were found in the count
of the votes on the amendments, 1t
will become the duty of the prose
cutting officials to proceed against
The men accused of classifying tht
election returns.
It seems incredible that so many
commissioners and clerks of cleo
ton could have entered into a con-
spiracy to defeat the will OF the
people, but the sacredness of thu
ballot demands that the greatest
possible safeguards should be
thrown about it and wherever il is
shown that the ballots have beer
tempered with, the guilty party Of
parties should be vigorously prose-
outed and punished. Whether the
miscounting of the votes extended
| beyond The amendments remains t.
be seen. The ballots are still in ex.
istence, hence it should not be hare
| to determine whether fraud, which
can be punished under the law, ha
been perpetrated or not.
