PRINTING THE OFFICIAL BALLOTS. One of the best features among the many good features of the election law is the provision requiring the publication of the official election ballots in two newspapers representing the different political partieB. This is the only means that the people have of seeing an authentic ballot, until they go into the booth to vote. The time being limited the voter is deprived of the opportunity to study its features, and cast his vote in the most intelligent manner. Because of its cost the house in a spasm of economy the other day passed a bill repealing this section of the law. The bill did not fare so well in the Senate and it was defeated. A substitute bill, however, was adopted which provides •••.-that the ballots to be advertised shall occupy half of the former space in the newspapers which will reduce the cost of publication one half. This is much better than no publication, and altogether is commendable. The object .. aimed at will be accomplished and at a greatly reduced cost. In this connection we desire to speak of the fiendish delight which the small statesman who accidentally find themselves members of the Legislature take in their attacks on the newspapers. The present Legislature is no exception to the rulb. It's a biennial disease. This class of men with opinions no broader tban the pinions of a Toulese goose act and talk as though everybody, especially publishers of newspapers,were a set of scoundrels and high way robbers. It is pleasant to note, hr ?ever, that there are noble exceptions aad that all the Senators and Representatives do not belong to this class of pigmies. Senator Magee's speech yesterday in defense of the newspapers was refreshing. "You sit here and pass bill after bill for the farmers," he said, "but you would deny the man who fights for your party every day in the year the right to print these ballots. You climb over one another to put an additional doorkeeper on the Senate force, and then talk about economy. No newspaper man has been herein the interest of this bill. The best investment that can be made is to have these ballots published."

The point to be admired in the Senator's speech is the gratitude he exhibits to an honorable and high minded profession.

THE HARRISON ADMINISTRATION James S. Clarkson, of Iowa, has a long article in lest Sunday's New York Press in which he makes a most viciouB assault on the Administration of President Harrison. The article has more the ear marks of disappointment than a sincere desire to advance the interests of the Republican party. The Press editorially takes exceptions to Mr. Glarkson's "choleric fusilade" and says:

We do not agree with Mr. Clarkson's criticisms of President Harrison's Administration. An Administration which has taken part in the enactment of a great measure for assuring American industrial independence, like the McKinley law the passage of a just and liberal pension law the enactment of a law for the encouragement of American ship ping, under which new steamships aggregating nearly 100,000 tons are contracted for which has thrown open vast tracts of fertile Western lands to settlement, and inspired the creation of a navy worthy of the American flag which has maintained American rights abroad with consummate firmness and unvarying ability, and has won new respect for the American name, commands the con lidence and esteem of the nation. Fu ture his-torians will portray the four years during which President Harrison stood at the helm of State as a singularly fruitful and progressive epoch in the annals of the United States and it is incontestable that a potent factor in the prosperity and development of the past four years has been the prudence, courage and farsighted patriotism of the Chief Magistrate who has served his party by serving the whole nation. The man who is able to give the causes which led to the Populist vote of a million, three-fourths of which came from the Republican party—ajvote which was totally unexpected by leading politicians on both sides—will go far toward pointing out the reason for the Republican defeat of 1892.

THE proposition to tax the money of building associations is both vicious and unjuBt. It is simply a proposition to tax twice the Bavings of -the poor and those in moderate circumstances. Any man who is fitted to make laws knows, or ought to know, that every dollar of a building association is loaned to men and women who are struggling to secure homes from their weekly Bavings. Taxes are paid on these homes to their fu value. And the proposition to tax

the money that buys these homes is not only virtually but actually taxing the same property twice. If some of these statesmen would put in a little of their spare time in devising some echeme to uncover all the property that is now sequestered and tax it once they would be serving their State with more credit than by attempting to tax the property of the poor twice.

THE latest Cabinet prognastication is that Judge Gresham will be Cleveland's Secretary of State. Four years ago he was a prominent candidate for the Presidency on the Republican ticket, and had his lightning rod up for the nomination at Minneapolis last June. This statement is made upon the authority of those who were opposing President Harrison's re-nomination. His jealously of, and personal hatred for, the President, together with disappointments, led him to vote for Mr. Cleveland. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff, but as Ben Jonsi.n said "Ambition, like a torrent.ne'er looks back,—

And is a swelling and the last affection A high mind can put oil' being- both aicbel Unto the soul and reason, and enforcetli All laws, all conscience, treads upon religion And oll'eretli violence to nature's sell'.!'-:

THE New Orleans Times-Democrat is a strongly partisan Democratic newspaper, but it is forced to admit the benefits which Republican reciprocity is conferring upon the country in general and the South in particular. The TimesDemocrat points out that our export* to the countries embraced in the scheme of reciprocity increased from about 000,000 for 11 months in 18'JO tr 800,000 in the corresponding ppiiuu of 1892. And it acknowledge t' r.t these figures indicate that "q"i: impetus" has been imparted to ir port trade with Latin America li ic.r]0: "As there is no other possible ctiu^ which to assign that impetus the credit o* the result lies with reciprocity."

THE Democratic platform adopted at Chicago contained this declaration: We denounce the Republican legislation known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities of danger in the future, which should make all of its supporters as well as the author, anxious for its speedy repeal.

And yet out of thirty-nine Democrats in the Senate, only twelve voted to consider the repeal when it was called up last Monday. It is evident that the Democracy regards party declaration of principles as an empty sham, to be thrown aside aB of no importance whatever when success has been won.

THE election of Allen to the Senatorship in Nebraska, to succeed Paddock, Republican, will give the Populists four membersj in the next Senate—Peffer, Kyle, Stewart and Allen. Stewart has left the Republicans and has gone over to the Populists, and must be classed with the latter hereafter. If the Repub­

licans

hold their own in the States yet to choose Senators they will have fortyona votes in the next Senate and the Democrats forty-three. The

chanceB

are, however, that the Republicans will lose at least one more vote.

REPRESENTATIVE THORNTON'S bill for changing all the April elections to Novemder and extending present terms to August 1, 1895, has passed the House and now goes to the Senate for concurrence. The author of the bill claims that it will save the State about $400,000 every two years, and was in line with the modern ideas of less politics and fewer elections.

SENATOR SELLER introduced three bills Tuesday, one concerning a uniform taxation for school purposes, another fixing the compensation of certain State and county officials, and another concerning elections and fixing a penalty.

THE bill providing that delinquent tax list shall be published by the lowest responsible bidder and at a price not to exceed ten cents for each discription was indefinitely postponed in the Senate yesterday. Served it right.

THE State University wants $150,000, Purdue $130,000, and the State Normal 860,000. These institutions are entitled to the appropriations, but just watch the votes of Seller and McAllister.

IHK Senate has passed a bill reducing the rate of interest on school fund loans from 8 per cent, to 6 per oent. This bill will probably pass the House and become a law.

•5

THE next Congress will have nothing to do with the tariff question except to vote for the bill which will be prepared by Mr. Cleveland and his Secretary of the Treasury. \f

ASSUMING that Hawaii is to be annexed the Washington Post nominates Hon. Thomas Watson, of Georgia, for custodian of volcanoes.

THE Senate passed the bill yesterday appropriating $25,000 to blow out the rock at Momence on the Kankakee river.

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

In the J'rcsenco of a liijj Crowd Cloveland unci Stevenson Are Elected President and Vice

President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The formal ceremonies incident to the official countintr of the electoral vote took place in the house at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the presence of the senate and densely packed galleries and a crowded iloor.

Vice President Morton some days ago appointed as tellers, on behalf of the senate, for this important ceremony, Senator Hale, of Maine, and Senator lilackburn, of Kentucky. Speaker C'risp appointed Judge Chipman, of Michigan, and Iloi.ry Cabot Lodge as the house tollers. at Illinois' Vote.

There was no open demonstration until Senator Blackburn rose with Illinois' certificate and in ringing tones read: "The certificate of Illinois is correct and shows thai the twenty-two votes of that state are cast for rover Cleveland, of New York, for president of the United States, and for Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, for vice president of the United States."

Senator Palmer clapped his hands. It was like a spark to a powder mine. In an instant applause came from all quarters of the hall. Enthusiasm swept over all, and everyone, excepting the republicans, seemed to strive to outdo the others in applauding their approval of Illinois' reformation. Vice President Morton announced that demonstrations were contrary to the dignity of the occasion and that it must not be repeated. The spectators were in an obediient mood and when Indiana's vote was read not a sound was heard. 1 here wsc a !:'.ugh at Judge Chipman when '.e read the split vote of Michigan, showing 4 votes for Cleveland and Stevenson and 9 for Harrison and Re id.

North Dakota's Vote a Surprise. There was but one surprise. It came with the announcement of North Dakota's vote. It had been supposed the three votes would be cast entire for Weaver and Field, but for some reason known only to the electors of that state they cast 1 vote for Cleveland and Stevenson, 1 vote for Harrison and Reid and 1 vote for Weaver and Field.

When the vote of Wyoming had been read the tellers found the totals-pnd Senator Hale read them, showing that the whole 444 there had been cast.

The Announcement.

The vice president repeated them, and stating that 223 votes were necessary for a majority, and added: "This announcement of the state of the vote is a sufficient declaration thai Grover Cleveland, of the state of New York, is elected president of the United States, and that Adlai L. Stevenson, of the state of Illinois, is elected

Ice president of the United States for the term beginning March 4, 1893." Tho Totals.

What is

Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infants and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.

It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years' use by Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd, cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency. Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas* toria is the Children's Panacea—the Mother's Friend.

Castoria.

"Castoria is an excellent medicine for children. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children."

Da. G. C. OSGOOD, Lowell, Mass.

Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria instead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves."
