WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 1890. •*. VAN SLYKE, Editor. THIS PA PER !K'« SSK? V (tOWKl.l A OO.'S Newspaper Advertising tlutwo (10 Spruce street), where advertising aSPS"!? ft NEW YORK- Uaf" JUit little change was noticeable on the Elgin butter market Monday. The demand remained good, with prices firm. 1ST Montana is, polit ically speaking, decidedly the most interesting o! the new States. It starts out on its first year o! Statehood with a legislative dead-lock; with four United States Senators-elect, one set having certificates without the Seal of State affixed, and the other set having the Seal of State, but no certifi­ cate Montana is also singular among the new States in having a surplus in its treasury, where the others are confronted by a growing deficit and with constitu­ tional limitations on taxation that threaten bankruptcy. . 1ST One Ludwig Van Romayn, of San Francisco, has been justly victimiiing some of the titled tuft hunters of Europe toy offering to find them rich American wives, who are ambitious to obtain a coronet at any sacrifice. Of course he demanded a large fee in advance, and pocketed it. Congress should furnish him ample protection. As these worth­ less scalawags are bent on fleecing some­ body else, they have no right to complain, and are entitled to no sympathy. Per­ haps it is the only way to bring into dis­ repute this shameful desire of Americans to secure such a miserable bauble as a title acquired by some infamous act. I 1^* A Brazil correspondent of the New York Tribune summarizes the story of ^he late revolution in that country as lollows: "An Imperial coup d'etat had been planned for the 2d of December. It was anticipated by the military ;coup d'etat of the 15th of November." In oth- «r words, Princess Izabel, the tool of the Jesuits, was to have become Empress Isabel by the abdication of Dom Pedro in a little more than a fortnight. There- lore the Republicans and the army struck down the empire to keep it from falling into the hands of those whom they had good reason to distrust. The course of the provisional government has been wise since that hour and the misrepresen tations of its enemies have failed to shake the world's confidence in its stability. K3?" It appears that Democrats differ as to the practicability of introducing the Australian ballot system into our elec­ tions. In his inaugural address Gov. OampbeU of Ohio took issue with Gov. David B. Hill on this subject. The Ohio Democrat warmly commended the system of ballot reform condemned by his broth­ er Democrat of New York. He gave a brief sketch of his success in other states ' where it had been adopted, and answered conclusively the puerile argument of Go v. Hill, that it would be a hardship to illit­ erate voters. But why this solicitude of Democratic governors over the rights of illiterate voters? Under a system of government dependent upon the intelli­ gence of its citizens, what is the use of considering the rights of illiterate voters •tall? They should have no rights ex Hoapt the right to learn to read and write -« right they should be compelled to ex­ ercise. Their ignorance debases the suf­ frage and prevents our elections from be­ ing a fair expression of intelligent Awar- fean opinion. answer is this: The Government print ing office is now furnishing printed envelop*; at less than wholesale cost of stock and work to the printing trade, and it receives appropriations each year from the Government to make good the deficiency in the general running expenses of the office.--Ex. The Myers Ballot Machine. One of the most remarkable inventions of the age is called the Myer-> ballot ma­ chine. It is purely an American inven­ tion, and provides every Jfcans for an honest and a secret ballot. The illiterate man as well as the learned can go inside atone an<i vote as he wishes. It requires no printed ballots. It simply records a man's vote. The machine is seven feet high, five and a half feet square, and is made entirely of iron and steel. A man wants to vote; he comes along to the inspectors, gives his name, passes into the lit Me iron door marked "entrance," which is shut by an inspector, and there lie is alone, ready to vote as be pleases with no eye to see. There is a key-board with a ballot knob beside each candidates' name, and each party's candidates are designated by a chosen color. He wants to vote for Gov­ ernor, for instance; he presses on the ballot knob beside the candidate's name, which recurdB his vote, and at the same time locks the ballot knob of every other candidate for Governor, and so he pro­ ceeds down through the entire lis* of his party candidates if he wishes, and every ballot knpb is locked so that he cannot repeat. Then he will have to go out of the door marked "exit," as he cannot get out of the other, and when he closes the exit door it unlocks all the ballot knobs and wounds a gong to notify the next voter to pass in. It will vote from three to six |M>rsous a minute. There is a recording dial on the outside that gives the whole number of votes cast at all times, and a recording dial back of the key-board, and opposite each candidate's name, that records each candidate's num­ ber of votes, but not in sight of the pub­ lic. When the voting is done at the close of the day, then the inspectors can open these dials in five minutes and give the whole number of votes cast for each can; didate. A man can vote as much of a mixed ticket as he pleases, and there is no counting to be done when the voting is finished. JST'The first case of fine and imprison­ ment under the Illinois compulsory edu­ cation law is reported from Shelbyville. It appears that Mrs. Jane Axford, 'widow and the mother of one child, abOy Of twelve or thirteen years, had neglected or refused to send the lad to school. At first she claimed it was because of a lack of money to buy books and supplies. These were furnished. Then it was lack <ff suitable clothing. This lack was sup­ plied, and yet the boy did not make his appearance. All other means failing the board at a meeting last Friday night de­ cided to resort to severe measures. Mrs. Axford was arrested and tried for repeat­ ed violations of the law, fined five dollars and cost, and, failing to pay the fine and costs she was sent to jail. Monday the boy was admitted to the school. The law which was thus practically enforced provides that children between the age of •even and fourteen years shall attend school at least sixteen weeks, eight of Which shall be consecutive, during the •ehool year. It was primarily intended to correct the abuse of child labor in fac­ tories and illiteracy among the street arabs of Chicago, but is likely to accom­ plish much good throughout the state. Every Household Should have "Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral. It saves thousands of lives annuallya and is peculiarly efficacious in Croupf Whooping Cough, and Sore Throat. •' After an extensive practice of nearly one-third of a century, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is my cure for recent colds ana conghs. I prescribe it, and believe il to be the very best expectorant now offered to the people."--Dr. John C. l^vis, Druggist, West Bridgewater, Pa. " Some years ago Ayer's Cherry Pec­ toral cured me of asthma after the best medical skill had failed to give me re­ lief. A few weeks since, being again/ a little troubled with the disease, I wjaa promptly ' Relieved By ' ! the same remedy. I gladly offer this testimony for the benefit of all similarly afflicted."--F. H. Hassler, Editor Araua, Table Kock, Nebr. " For children afflicted with colds, coughs, sore throat, or croup, I do not know of any remedy which will give more speedy relief than Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I have found it, also, invalu­ able in cases of whooping cough." -- Ann Love joy, 1251 Washington street, Boston, Mass. " Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has proved remarkably effective in croup and is invaluable as a family medicine."-- D. M. Bryant, Chicopee Falls, Mass. • Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, ^ . nUEPASKD BT , ' V Dr. J.

The press of the Country are always advocating needed measures of reform for others, but now they have determined to ask that justice be done them and their business in one particular, at least, and that is, that the practice of printing, "by the Government, on envelopes requests for the return of letters, be abolished, because it is un­ necessarily bringing the Government in- to competition with private enterprise, ' which is wrong in principle. We believe ,lfc is wrong in principle for the Govern- paentf to enter the field against private ' enterprise except in cases where public policy demands.it. This is not the case, tyhe present practice deprives many of ©ur brethren of quite a item of business Which justly belongs to them; and, as a general rule, their struggle for existence Is fierce enough without the Government Stepping in as a Competitor. We shall join the entire press of the country ; liakhiK our representatives at Waelmif^ton , -to do them the justice of correcting this :" practice. The business man may urge that if it furnishes envelopes cheaper, why shut them off from the benefits? TV ^ yj,' ' i. KIRK'S AMERICAN FAMILY SOAP HANLY BROTHERS. -BBBEDIBS OF- Store Talk.
