Office in Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground floor., 1" The Election Law. Section 34. The amendment provides that the initials ot the poll clerka shall be written on the upper right hand corner, instead of the lower left-hand corner, The object is to prevent tearing off the emblem of a party as an evidence of the way a ballot is voted. Section 44. The amendment permits employers and employ es to agree on the four hours allowed for voting, instead of restricting them to the first four hours of the day. The object was to avoid the in convenience which in some cases resulted from using a fixed time. Section 45 The amendment restricts and specifically defines the mode of stamping the ballot, The large square surrounding the device may be stamped to vole a straight ticket, and for this purpore only. If the large square is stamped, every name und rit is voted for. If she large rquare is stamped, a stamp eke where on the ballot makes it void; and to this there is but one exception: If then should be no candidate for one < r more offices under a large square thus stamped, it is permissible to stamp in front of the name of a candidate on some other ticke* for such office, but no other. This leaves but one method of “scratching." The voter who doe, not desire to vote a straight ticket must stamp the square in front of the name of a candidate for whom he desires to vote. A stamp rhat touches a square must be counted on that square. A stamp that touches no square makes the ballot void. Also, a voter who folds his ballot improperly, but does not disclose the face of the ballot, must be sent back to the booth to fold his ballot prop erly. The object of these amendments is to do away with the confusion that arose from having two metho ’s of scratching, and to settle what were matters ot dispute In the last election.

Mr. Holman’s review of the appropriations made during the last session of congress is thus summarized by the New York Evening Post (Ind.): As the New York Tribune has shown, the record made by the Democrats at this session is sufficiently encouraging, savings amounting to some H 0,000,000 having been made in those appropriations which it was possible to reduce. Mr. Holman further shows, what The Tribune had also pointed out, that this reduction was accomplished in the face of the opposition of the Republican senate. The eleven regular appropriation bills aa passed by the house reduced the estimates of the administration by >27,838,000, and the senate increased their amount by >18,725,000. The result was finally that these bills appropriated less than was demanded by the administration, nearly >18,000,000 less than the senate desired, and nearly >6,000,000 more than the house deemed sufficient. The principal economies effected have .been first in public buildings, no new ones having been authorized at this session. Tim previous congress authorized the construction of sixty-eight, much of the expense of which has had to be provided for by the congress which has just adjourned. The last congress, Judge Holnyan says, created 1,705 new Salaried offices, costing annually over >2,000,000. This congress has abolished more offices than it has created, except In the District of Columbia, and while it increased the wages of those employed in the life saving service, it elsewhere reduced more salaries than it raised. There has been a small increase In the amount appropriated for the judiciary, a considerable increase in that for the department of agriculture and a new charge in the subsidy granted tq the World’s fair. With these exceptions the policy of economy has on the whole<prevailed. If it can be shown, and The Tribune and Mr. Holman concur in holding that it can, that the Democrats have made an important reduction in those appropriations which were under their control, that is a concrete fact which is worth a great deal in a political campaign. •' Two Doses.

Kvery Man His Own Protection. There. Ilves iu New York an Irishman who sometimes goes over to hla native isle, and who learns a thing or two at each visit. Upon one of these Visits he foqnd that one workingman in the region where the visitor found himself was paid considerable more per week than bis fellows got. “Why do they pay you more than these other men gets” he asked the laborer. “Because I’m wortli more," was tlie answer. ‘Tve been to America and learned how to work.” Any one who knows American working men and workingmen abroad can understand this. We are the nerviest, cleverest, hardiest people on earth. It is not boasting to shy this; it is simple truth. Not only is this true, but it is also true that intelligent foreigners coming to America soon catch our ways and learu how to do almost the work of two days in one. A man who has studied the Italians says that when these men first come to America they are slow and awkward, but they presently learn how to work and develop into excellent workmen. Thia is as true of skilled as of unskilled workmen. The Italian mechanic is accustomed to lighter tools than we use in America, and ha finds himself at a disadvantage until he learns the ways of onr people, but if he has the stuff in him he gets to doing an American instead of an Italian day’s work. A contractor who had built railroads all over the world said that the cost per mile was no more in Illinois at >l.B# per day for labor than in British India at nine cents a day for labor. The talk about foreign pauper labor and the danger of its competition is a humbug. We need not fear it, because it is pauper labor. The laborer to be feared is the fellow who can do a bigger day’s work than the American laborer, and he has yet to be born. In British India a man who is not more than fairly well off will have a dozen servants in his house, each at ridiculously low wages, but they will not do the work of two wide awake women with American training, and their wages, taken altogether, amount to more than you’d pay to three such women. Where American workmen are paid more than foreign workingmen it is because they are worth more and not because of protection. If you hire ten skilled workingmen of American birth or training to do a piece of work and pay them >3.50 per day, the cost of doing that work will be thirty-five dollars a day. If you hire three times as many unskilled, untrained, inefficient men at one-third the wages, you’ll pay the same amount in the aggregate and get no more work done. But are there no foreign workingmen as skillful and efficient as American workingmenf In a few trades there are foreigners who can do things that our people. caunot do, or can do but poorly, and those men are often as well paid as American workitigmen. In other trades there are skilled foreigners whose hours are shorter than those of workingmen in America, or who use less labor saving machinery, and therefore get less work done. As a rule, however, the day’s labor of an American is worth more than the day’s labor of a foreigner who has not learned our ways, and for that reason the wages of the American are higher. The best protection of American labor lies in the energy, skill, . Intelligence and persistency of the American laborer. “Every man his own protection’’ is a good cry. A Horrible Railroad Accident. Is a daily chronicle in our papety; also the death of some dear friend, who has died with consumption, whereas if he ot she had taken Otto’s Cure for throat and lung diseases in time, life would have been happier and perhaps saved.

The fact that many articles are now cheaper than they wefe two years ago has been seized upon by Republican editors and stump orators as a proof that the McKinley law has reduced prices. But people who keep themselves informed as to the changing conditions of trade will not be deceived by this transparent humbug. Many raw materials—notably cotton and wool—are now much lower than they were in 1890, and this fall in prices was brought about, in the main by far other causes than the McKinley law. But there is another reason why some prices have not advanced, a reason that is never heard from protectionist speakers and newspaper organs. Honest trade papers, however, are telling some hard truths about the kind of cheapness which we are having under McKinleyism. Buch a paper is The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, of Boston, a journal of the very highest character and edited by a Republican and protectionist. Here is what The Reporter says about McKinley cheapness: “There is some complaint made by clothiers that the quality of the goods now being made by the domestic mills is not up to the old standard. The complaint is not alone with the manufacturing clothier, but is made also by the retail dealer; even some of the well known standard makes are put down as falling short of their cld standard. No doubt some of the trade will remember that one of the leading clothiers in this city came out with a letter some two years ago, in which it was stated that as a result of the McKinley bill prices would either be higher or else the product of the mills protected would deteriorate, Almost immediately following the passage of the bill prices were advanced, but in many cases they did not hold, as public sentiment was strongly against a wholesale advance. “When many of the prices returned to their old figures and business became more settled manufacturers commenced to make a poorer fabric, yet claim it was the same tiling, and held to the old price. This practice must have proved profitable, at least for the time being, as it was continued and carried further, so that today the trade complains. To tie eye many of the cloths appear fully up to the standard, and it is only after they are doing service for the consumer that the deception is discovered.” It is evident that under McKinleyism “cheap and nasty go together," and we are now buying the particular kind of coats made famous by President Harrisin his noted remark, "I cannot find my: in full sympathy with this demand cheaper coats, which seems to me ne sari I y to involve a cheaper man and wornunder the coats ’’ The Trouble Over. A prominent mm in town excaimed the other day: “My wife has been wcaring out her life from tbe ejects of dyspepsia. liver complaint and indigestion, Her case baffled the skill ot our best physicians.
