THE DISFRANCHISED VOTERS. The board of election marshals mot yesterday at Indianapolis and canvassed the vote of the State for President. The official plurality for the Cleveland elec tore is 7,125. This is based on the vote cast for the first elector on the Democratic ticket and the first elector on the Republican ticket. These electors received about 2,000 more votes than their colleagues on the ticket. To be exact the highest Democratic elector, Bracken. received 2,018 more votes than the average vote cast for the balanoe of the Democratic electors, while the highest Republican elector, Peirce, received 1,(97 more votes than the average vote cast for the balance of the Republican electors. This shows that nearly 4,000 voters of the State did not know how to stamp their ballot properly, besides the great number that were thrown out and counted for nobody, estimated at from 7,000 to 10,000. A law that is so complex that so many legal voters are disfranchised certainly needs some amendments. The Australian system is here to stay as it has many admirable features, but it ought to be simplified as much as possible. A law so complex that it can be made to disfranchise so many legal voters certainly is of doubtful constitutionality, and there ought to be statesmanship enough amoag our Jaw-makers to divest it of its complexity, and simplify the method of voting so as to enable every legal voter have his vole counted according to his intention. The muin features of the law are excellent but it certainly needs amending in some particulars.
FOB the past four months Europe has bought wheat at a yearly rate of 436,000.000 bushels against supposed requirements of 350,000,000 bushels. Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland, France Germany have all been liberal buyers and seem disposed as prudent merchants to stock up heavily at low values. The Black Sea and Russian ports have shipped almost exact amounts with America the last few weeks, while shipments from all other world ports have not exceeded 600,000 bushels per week. Careful note should be taken of the fact that the European visible supply of wheat December 1 will probably show more than thirty millions less than last year, and the entire world's visible ten millions less than Decembtr 1 last year which was then 203,367,000 bushels. Compare Europe's visible Biipply with the American visible, it would seem merely to be question of transportation from the producing to the consuming countries and America can surely afford to own her wheat at the current prices while all the contingencies must be on the up. side of the market.
EX-PKESIDENT WEiHE,of the Amalgamated Association made a statement to the Senate sub-committee on the Homestead strike, last week, that contributes much food for though among po litical parties. After saying that the average wages of the Homestead men were S3 a day he continued: "Most of our labor troubles are cnuBed by foreigners who cannot speak the English language and are unacquainted with American ideas, ana who cannot be taught the highest duties of American citizenship. I think the general government should take prompt measures to stop unrestricted immigration. The labor organizations would sustain any party in enacting a law to remedy this evil."
IF Wabasli College can induce her friends to give S30.000 now in her time of need it means that the interest on SGO.UOO will forever be spent among the business men of Crawfordsville.
THE adoption of the screen ordinance may not stop the illegal sale of liquor in Crawfordsville but a trial of it will certainly do no harm. By all means let us give the ordinance a fair trial.
VETOES of pension bills will not be Mr. Cleveland's strong hold in the 52d CongresB for the reason that none will be passed.
