There is poi haps not much to bo hoped for from the domocratio legislature of Ohio , but it is probable that Bomothing will bo done to improve the electoral system in Iowa In whatever rospectsoxnorionco may show it to require itnprovoinont Measures are promlsod in both Dakotas and in Washington intended to insure tlio purity of elections The only unfavorable reports regarding re form come from West Virginia and Maryland , in both of which there is most urgent need of it In the former the bill proposed by the governor was defeated in the bonato by the veto of both parties , while in the latter the Gorman inlluenco is solidly arrayed nguinslnny chiingo in the election laws likely to interfere with the methods of that element , and . this is sullicicut to defeat any effort for reform this year On the whole the advocates ot ballot reform are warranted in regarding the outlook as very promising The ex istence of reform laws in half a dozen states , and their successful operation whsn elections have boon hold under tlrom , the confession of prominent lead ers in both parties that there is urgent necessity for moro rigid and effective regulations to prevent fraud and cor ruption in elections , nnd the strong trend of public opinion iu favor of a purification of electoral motliods , jus tify the hope that within a few years there will bo laws for the full protection of thu ballot analnst all the evils and abuses which operate to degrade popu lar sultrago and to defeat the will of the people This is the desire of every good citizen , controversies regarding reform growing out of the diversity of views as to the merit and cxpedioncy of molhods proposed It was ontlroly natural that the attempt to import hero for gonorai adoption a foreign method , pirts of which it was obvious could not bo successfully ap plied under our political system , should encounter opposition , but this did not argue any lack of desire or disposition On the part of the people to secure a pure and honest ballot The iniport- uuco of having the Buffrag ' o free from , all degrading and contaminating inllti- encoB is understood and appreciated by all , and the very gonorai and growing interest in the subject Insures the ulti mate victory of reform in every state of the union CANCELED FAIIM MOHTGAQES Congress will undoubtedly provide for the collection of statistics ot farm mortgages at the coming census , but whether it will make the answers to census tnkors obligatory , as has boon proposed , Is yet to bo determined It is conceded that the effort to secure mortgage statistics without thiB provis ion must inevitably proven , failure , and it is by no moans certuin that it would bo successful with it Doubtless a great many moro farmers woultt give the full facts under the tnonnco of a ponnlty for withholding thorn than would do so in the absence ot any Donnlty , but there is reasonable ground for a question whether congress can rightfully make an inquisition ot this kind into the debts of every fnrinor In the land It is portinonlly suggested that if farmers can be subjooted to this sort of an iti- vostigatlfm and bo compelled to disclose the dotailsofthoirQnancialuffalrstotho census taker , why bhoula not tbo pro cess bo uppliod to manufacturers , mer chants , bnukors and nil ether people ? Rut with or without the prd- vibIodb making auswors obligatory the effort to Bocure farm mortgage statistics will bo inado , since both parties in con gress doslro it , and it will bo well for farmers to bo prepared to supply the in formation required of thorn as ac curately as possible If there in any thing to bo gained from the collection of these statistics it is important that they Bhall bo as nearly us possible cor rect The suggcbtlon is 1 undo that nil parties holding canceled mortgages thu cancellation ot which was made prior lo January 1,1800 , have ttiein all entered on the county records without do- lay This ' will simplify mnttors for the co iibus tulcors , besides contribut ing to moro correct results The con bus Inquiries will extend bank six to ton yours from January 1 , 181)0 ) , and mort gages whoso ditto ot cancellation is nttor December ill , 1889 , will Cbo con bldorcd as existing , Undoubtedly a great number of farmers are holding canceled mortgages , the cancellation of which has not been recorded , and as all such will appear as indebtedness it can roudlly bo soon that thnt tlioy may play a largo part in miaraprosout- ing tbo real financial condi tion of the fanners The import unco of having cancolcd mort- gngos recorded is therotoro obvious There are uumorous dilllcultiosln the way o . f securing even approximately nc- curate farm mortgage statistics , nnd it Is questionable whether the result wUf provo to be of very great utility How ever , if the collection is made it is do * slrablo that every enro Bhall bo taken to make it ns trustworthy as possible , nnd to this the farmers , who nro most dcoply concerned in the result , can greatly contribute OAMIU.ISQ IN root ) PRODUCTS THe notion of the directors of tha Chicago toard of trade in deciding to abolish the gathering and dissemina tion of quotations , with n viowto , break ing down the bucket shops , will have the npproval of all persons who bellovo in honest trading The board haa mndo several attempts to destroy the bucket shops by refusing thorn quota tions , but tlicso have failed because the course of the board was not sustained by the courts , which hold that It could not discriminate in furnishing its quotations The only recourse against the bucket shops was thcroforo fn the action just taken , which it Is intended shall go into effect at the end of this month If the result should bo as desired It will bo a good thing , but it is hardly probable - able that the oxpcdlont will bo long ad- horcd to At any rate the board should not halt with the ono reform of wiping out the bucket shops , for these sources of reckless nnd dnmnging speculation are the natural offspring of the methods of dealing common to most commercial bodies ; and in thopraotico of which the Chicago board of trade has boon , if it bo not now , ono of the most prominent It will need to purge its own organization of speculators in the products of the country , and permit only legitimate donling within its walls , before it will bo regarded as having anything but 11 solllsh purpose iu pro ceeding against the lesser instruments of speculation It will not bo surpris ing if the exhibition of virtue which the board is making proves to bo short-livoil , and tlio board of directors reconsider their action before * , ho tlmo arrives for puttiug it into effect Abolishing ishing the gathering and dissomiuation of quotations will affect the interests torosts of a great many persons ether than the managers and patrons of the bucket shops , and there will doubtless he a vigorous remonstrance from mer chants throughout a wide territory ugainst the proposed action of the board In no other country is speculation in food products carried on as it is in the United States , and tlio evil consequences of it hero is universally admitted Hut how to prevent it ia a problem no ono has yet solved Killing off the bucket shops would not do it , though it might bo a cons d- erablo stop in that direction Congressman • Uuttcrworth has pro posed national legislation providing for a tax on speculative transactions , such as options and futures , " but it is very questionable whether this would put an otid to such transactions , grant ing that congress has the right to enact such legislation Any practicable and olfcctivo mcasuro that would suppress crumbling in the food products of the country would bo of immeasurable ben efit to the whole people , producers and consumers alike In a letter addressed to the old soldiers of Bourbon county , Kansas , Senator Tlumb takes strong ground against the selfish spirit which ani mates 11 certain clabs of veterans who insist on bo.'vico pensions The senator declares that if service ponsious were grautoa now it would bo impracticable for the government to muko adequate provision for such veterans as are dis abled Why should men who are rich and healthy bo given a pension which they do not need nnd thereby deptivo the needy and disabled comrades - rados of that which they should otherwise receive "I am in favor first , " says Senator Plumb , "of giving pensions to these who need thorn , and not only this but to increase the ratings bo as to make them comfortable " This covers the just obligations of the government ornmont to the veterans of the war The people are in favor of liberal pro vision being made for the care of the mou disabled in line of duty and their dependents , and these whom the hard ships of the rebellion rondorcd prema turely old 13ut the line must bo drawn against these iu the enjoyment of health and ability to earn a livelihood The pension roll has grown from eighty mil lions to ninety tlvo millions within a year , and there is every indication that it will pass ono hundred million before 1891. This enormous increase naturally excites alarm , not because of any tack ot appreciation of the services rendered by the soldiers , but because the bulk of the increase goes to the uudoserving , whoso claipis uro worked through con gress by political inlluenco The truth its that the honest soldier who shoul dered his musket front patriotic motives feels insulted at a movement to make him u pensiouor on the govoriimout while ho is able to earn a living The scheme for sorvlco poiiBions is tlio off spring of the horde of pension sharks in Wushington who thrlvo oh the ills and weaknesses of- the votoraus of the war _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Ojfit of our illustrious contemporaries has gone into a caniptlon because the Union Paeiilo has chungod the tlmo ot a frnlght train on which that public spirited and enterprising shoot has been shipping its Saturday nftornoon edition under n Sunday morning date to points on that road which uro bup- pliodbyTjiK Bkk'S special newspaper * train every Sunday Our disgruntled newspaper contemporary chnrgoa the managers of the road with conspiring to suppress it in the Intorostof Tim lliiis This is rather funny Do rail road compunios 6chedulo their freight trains to moot the wauts of any news pupor ?
