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. In
the house to-day Representative Bou
telle, of Maine, introduced a resolution
amending the constitution by making
provision therein to meet the contin
gency of the death of the president
elect after the electors have cast their
vote in January and before his inaug
uration on March 4.
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.
