The ballots are provided by the state , anil contain the 1 names of all the candidates far the sev \ , eral offices. The voter simply makes a a y\ . check opposite the name of the person n A * for whom be wishes In vote. No per ; , sons arc permitted to remain in the poll 0 room after voting except certain sworn a ' , I officeis ; no person is permitted to come ji ( into the room except for the purpose v of voting , and no person is permitted ° to vote a ticket which he brings in with e liiin. lie receives bis tiokelTafter en ' teriug the room. For the benefit of voters who are unable to read , sworn officers are at hand who read the. ticket t that the voter may check it. There if v " " * " not much encouragement in such a sys s tem for the expenditure of money to e corrupt voters. The Methodist preachers of Colum q bus , Ohio , have had a meeting and passed a series of resolutions protest ing against the expenditure of money in inaugural processions at Washington the oest 4th of March , and especially : calling on Gen. Harrison to squelch tl i ' 'that relic of barbarism , the inaugural 1 ball. " .

By their blind arrogance they have often made themselves public enemies. Se verities in railroad laws and * the with drawal of confidence in investing circles are the logical outcome. Sooner or lat or there will be a general scrambling down from the high horse. Railroads will have to come to the public with clean hands and pure heaitsaud in con tntion of spirit. It now seems probable' that Presi dent-elect Harrison will have an in creased Presidential family , or in other * \ \ ords , he will have to appoint eight in stead of seven members of the Cabinet. This Congress will probably pass the bill creating an Agricultural portfolio. Of course , as the west is the granary of the nation , it will claim the right to name the man for the new Cabinet position. Massachusetts will have a • • jiudidate in the person of Mr. Loring. but he is too remote from the com and wheat fields of the nation to be accept able.

In this respect woman suffrage has created a revolution in the public schools of the city which aspires to be the intellectual metropolis of the nation.

Tuesday a yourg mother in New York walked into the police sta tion with her dead baby in her arms The story is that the child had died of exposure i to cold in the doorway of a tenement house. This is a sad comment to be made Christmas day on the char ity i of New York City. Is it credita ble ! to the modern methods of civiiiza tion i that in all places where there is irreat wealth there is also extreme pov- erty i ? According , to the Chicago Times there ' is a good deal of infant murder going on in that city. It declares that there are not less than 00.000 in fa mi \ eides committed there every year. The Times is considerably excited over thi > j annual ' • slaughter of the innocents , " ' and may exaggciate its figures , but it seems to have a good basis for its war fare on the. disreputable doctors who are aiders and abettors in this crime.

[ nankclman Deninenit.j Theto scorns to be a combination among tho newspapers of Hitchcock county to malign Judge Cochran , and all because he Imposed a light sentence upon Hunter , a murderer who was convicted of manslaughter. The trial oc curred rttCulhertson , last week. The prisoner and tho state were represented bj' able legal minds. The trial was fair anil impartial. The jury said Hunter was guilty of nothing great er than mauslanghter. and accompanied their verdict by an appeal ro the court for a display of "tho utmost meroy toward the prisoner. " The court heeded tho appeal , and imposed the lightest possible sentence one year in the penitentiary. Perhaps Hunter should have been found guilty of murder in the first de gree. Why should .Judge Cochran lie blamed for tlio blubbering sentimentalism of the squaw jury , which took for gospel the tieanti fill ihetoric of thu prisoner's attornejs and iiriord the evidence in the case ? How can anjtliimr bo expected from a court when it is CDinpellcd to have cases tried before such ju rors as were presented in tho Hunter ease ? Tho Hitchcock county papers should devote their energies toward educating the class of "irond and true men" which that county fur nishes for jury duty , rather than indulge in abuse of a magistrate who simply endeavored to catry out the wishes oi' his jurors. 1 JAMES LAIRD.
