THE AMERICAN 3 I CHICAGO rOUTICS. Seme laaide HUWrr T r.UUn la the Seyeata CMrniHil District. Chicago, I1L, March l.-Elitor Americas. while on a tUit to Aus tralia I devoted a conilderablo portioo of my ltUure time to the study of the Australian ballot system of Totlof, and aa compared with the so-called Austra lian ballot aa used la the United State there la at much difference a between flay and night. Under the system In Australia the namea of the candidate are placed under the name of the office, and a voter must bare sufficient educa tion to read the names on bis ballot in order to Tote Intelligently, or, in fact, to vote at all. Under the system in use In some parts of this country it only requires sufficient instructions to know where to place the X mark; and thus the illiterate, imbeciles, insane and idiots are marched to the polls and Toted as so many cattle on election day. It is only the educated, intelli gent and Independent voter who does any "scratching"; and this brines to mind an incident in the Seventh Con gressional District on primary day. A gentleman visited ,a certain primary district In the Twenty-sixth ward of Chicago, where he has lived and voted for years, with the intention of voting for the Fobs delegates; but, as the Boyce "gang" bad everything their way, bis vote was challenged and re fused, for the reason, as one of the judges explained, that he was an Inde pendent Republican, and did not al ways vote the straight ticket yellow dogs, convicts and all. Thus it ap pears that the intelligent voters, who vote for men and not for monkeys, who vote for principle and not for party, are debarred from exercising their franchises at primary elections. There have been many reasons ad vanced for this uprising of the people in thr Seventh District; and a leading DemocraMo daily announced that it was through the A. P. A. voting sol idly for Foes that be carried the day. As there appears to be two different classes of A. P. A.'s the ones who are A. P. A.'s for principle, and another ao-called A. P. A. gang, who are for revenue and patronage only it is only In j'istice to state the former worked and voted for Mr. Foss.nThe "for-rev enue-only" crowd were with Boyce to a man; for, as one of them explained: "I have to keep in the 'band-wagon' or lose my job; and you bet I know when I have a 'snap.' " An example of the "slave doing his master's bid ding," or "the yellow dog following at bis master's heels." The result of the battle has very se riously upset the calculations of the "Siamese twin" the professional German and the professional foreigner who have jointly owned and con trolled Hertzville for years. To dem onstrate how nicely the game is playei, it Is only necessary to go back two - years, when WulfT was a can didate for state treasurer. At that time, to show his strength in Hertzville, and his ability ao carry the district in his pocket, it was necessary for Hert to "keep dark," as it were, until after the nomination, and then he would be taken care of. From all accounts that has been done; and if Hertz has received any charity, it has not been through the county agent's office. It is now time for Mr. Wulff's side-partner, Hertz, to have a chance at the state treasurership, and he must therefore be able to Bhow his strength in Hertzville in order to prove to the country delegates that he is the great "me too" in his district. As the Sav enth District convention tore a large bole In the "machine balloon," some of the decayed ballast had to be thrown out not to please the people, but to please the "boss." Lammers, Keats and Schermann are tossed overboard and the "machine" is supposed to be having a spasm of "reform." The candidates selected to take the places of the three graces above named were not and are not the choice of the peo ple, but were named by the "machine" for the purpose of saving the "Siamese twins." Mr. Wulfl mustjremaln in the background and be in the same condi tion as in the Foss campaign, namely, luke-warm. The three candidates for alderman seltcted by the "machine" in the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Six teenth wards must be carried through at all hazards. Although the county convention instructed for Hertz for state treasurer, there are delegates to the fetate convention who have declared their Intention of bolting instructions, and there are others who are waiting for a chance to jump the fence, and the opportunity would be at hand if one of the three candidates above mentioned should be defeated at the polls. Like "Too Much Johnson," we have had "too much Hertz," and by defeat ing the Wulff-Hertz-Seversen combi nation of reform aldermen, there is a eood chance of defeating: the "ma chine" candidate for state treasurer. Tn thn Twenty-seventh ward the neo- pie appreciate a good alderman when they get one, and showed their confi dence in the present incumbent by re nominating him; but the "pluggers," ward-heelers, petty office-holders and the "A.-P.-A.-for-revenue-only" gangs, assisted by a few innocent citizens who have been drawn into the scheme, are making desperate efforts to organize a so-called citizens' ticket. The nerta-Wulff uncles, aunt, cousins and other relative who are capable of filling political office are as numerous aa file around a molasses barrel in the summer; or, as a politi cian at the Ssventh District convention remarked, "The wood are full of 'em." The people Id Hertzville have begun to see this great political farce "political enemy racket" between Hertz and Wulff; and at the next elections you mij expect to hear something drop. AJAI. Say Dispute the Title f the Church. ST, Locis, Mo., March 12. There may be a law suit as the result of Arch bishop Kenrlck's death before the af fairs of the archdiocese of St. Louis are finally adjusted. The plaintiff may be John H. Eustace of No. 3033 Pine street, tole surviving kinsman of Arch- blthop Kenrick, and heir to his prop erty. According to law, Archbishop Ken rick died possessed of nothing what- t , ever, except ms wearing apparui, household furniture, books, pictures. jewelry, vestments and regalia. All other personal and real property, the title of which was formerly vested in Archbishop Kenrick, was on July 25, 1895, by decree of Judge Russell of Cir cuit Court No. 7, turned over to the possession of Archbishop Kain. R. Graham Frost was tho attorney of the plaintiffs. The decree wes not regis tered. The sole surviving heir of Arch bishop Kenrick may not be as ready to relinquish his claims as was his rela tive. "I have my doubts as to the le gality of the decree," said Attorney A. J. P. Garesche, who has for many years acted as Archbishop Kenrlck's attorney. "I don't want to be taken as opposing Archbishop Kaln, but the de cree sweeps away everything from Archbishop Kenrick. Even the loose money he had in his possession Is given to Archbishop Kain by the decree. The archbishop's heir may do nothing, but if he desires to do something it seems to me be has a case." "Has Archbishop Kenrick left a wll ?" was asked. "I don't know. 1 drew one up for him a number of years ago, but I don't know what has become of it. If a will is found it will probably be probated soon." "Archbishop Kenrick would have remembered me in his will if be had been right In bis mind when he died," said Tom Franklin, the former valet of the dead prelate. ' I was sitting la the room with him one day, some months before he died, and he opened a drawer and took out a big pack of visiting cards and began counting them out, as if they were money. After he had counted for some time be handed the pack he had counted out to me and said: 'Here, Tom; here's 2,000 for you.' 'But, your grace,' I answered, 'that's not money. Those are your vlflting cards. See, they say 'The Archbishop of St. Louis.'" "So they are. Excuse me, Tom," he said, "I'll attend to you later."

Bill to Provide an Executive if Death Occurs Before Inauguration. Washington, D. C, March 19.

It provide) that in case the person elected as president shall, before his inauguration, die, decline or become unable to discharge the duties of the office, the same shall devolve upon the person elected vice-president, who in such case shall be Inaugurated and hold office accordingly. Congress Is given authority to pro vide for the case of death, declination or inability of the persons respectively elected president or vice-president who have before their inauguration both died, declined or Decome incapable. Are Angry at Senator Lodge. United States Senator Ledge's recent report, in which he stated that Polish Americans contributed largely to the criminal and Illiterate classes, has ex cited indignation among the Polish residents of Chicago. At a meeting of the Young Men's Polish Alliance, held at the Alliance club-room on Ashland avenue last evening, resolutions cen suring Senator Lodge were unani mously passed. Statistics were quoted to refute the assertions of the senatoral report which reflected on the Polish citizens and Immigrants. The general good citizenship of the Poles was cited, and official statistics of crime produced to subordinate the assertion of speakers that the "39 per cent report" of Sena tor Lodge was an injustice to the na tionality. After roughly scoring the report, the meeting adjourned. M. NapiercewBky presided. Attacks the Roinam Catholic. Memphis, Tenn., March 22. Rev. Dr. John A. Brooks, who has accepted the call at the West London Taberna cle, preached his farewell sermon at the Auditorium this evening. The ad dress was from an Americrn Protective Association standpoint, viciously at tacking the Roman Catholics for dab bling in politics. Dr. Brooks' remarks created a sensation, owing to his promi nence in church and political affairs. He will leave here in a few days for New York with his family, sailing on April 1 for London.
