tended to open the way to the Introduc

amend this section by making It rend :
"Allotes shall be by ballot or such

Any on.1 who reads calefully the rtl-
clo of thu constitution relating to Ihe
suffiagoand who consider * the reiiulie-
*
ment of n ballot for voting In connec
tion with the other related ptoUslons
will see at once that the aim of our con
stitution makeis vas to Itismo to every
one entitled to the suffiage a chaucu to
xoto his honest convictions and to have
his \oto counted. The ballot was pre

talnly room for plausible aigiiment that

the use of an altogether different Kind

Nebiaska has always been In the van
in the moMMiu'iit for ballot reform. As
soon as the advantages of the Australian
ballot system o\er the old Individual
ballot Mjstoiii weie di'iiioiistiated , an
Austiallan ballot law was enacted by
the leglslatino of this state. When the
Impiovemenl whkh the new system
In ought to the lognlar elections was
notid and Its use b < > gan to bo extended
also to pihr.aiy elections , NebiasUa
piomptl.v made its Au liallan ballot law
applicable to pi unary elections. So it
ought to bo with the step to the u e
of mechanicil devices for reglsteilng the
olt etor's vote The voting machine is
no longer an e\peiiment. It has been

YoiK ai'il other stnto < When New Yoik
revised its state constitution two jears
ago one of the innovations was a clause
i'ltthoiixlng the useol the \otlng ma
chine , and it Is only a quest Ion ol time
when all the constitutions which ob
stiuct the intioduction of new electoral
methods will be so amended as to be
in line with the most modern and ap-
pioved thought.
Without going Into a detailed descrip
tion of any of the mechanical vote
registering devices , it Is sulllcient to say
here that thch advantages aie itndis
pnted. Hi icily enumeiated , these advan
tages aie : Fhst , on thu score of econ
omy , they ate much less expensive than
thu present voting sjstem. Second ,
they give absolute ashuiame of si'ctecy
of voting. Thiul. they pi event fiaud in
the count , rointh , they tell the result
Immediately on thu close ot the polls
and do away witli the dclajs of the
count. While the \otlng iniulilne may
not jet be pel feet , it alieady closely ap-
pioAlmates peifection and luiiiiu-itioii-
ably constitutes a long advance on the
paper ballot. No piogiessive state can
all'oid to keep in Its fundamental law
eny constitutional prov Ision that might
obstiuct the intioduction of the voting
machine. '
The Ameiluin peojile nave an Intelest
in all that Is taking plate politically
among om noithoin nelghbois. Ilonee
the movement that has icccntly stalled
in Canada liming In view the complete
sepaiatlon of the counti.v fiom England
merits attention , even though it his as

tew months ago a small icpuhllcan
gioup was lot mod at Toronto whiili
Issued n m.inilesto stiongly anil-
iippoilallstlc in tone. It was widely
published and wh'le ' generally dK.ip-
pioved ot by the pioss. Is said to IIIIAO
met with a gieat deal of pilvate ap-
pioval. Aicoidlng to late advices the
stiength of the movi'inent Is moiv
developed among tiie Piench ol Queb v
tlian tlie l ngllsh-spoaklng people of
Ontailo , though it Is stated that among
the hitter the idea of independence is
gaining giound steadily , always except
ing the title lnintci.s anil that class -\vho
piobably would lonounco foiover any
piivilego at the demand ot Iio.peilallsm.
It is undoubtedly tine that the senti
ment for Indcnondcnto 1ms been souio-
what encouraged by the lesidt of the
last general election. TJie success of the
llbcial [ tatty demonstrated that nut all
of the Canadian people aru lirevoeably
tonindltcd to the contiol of the con-
seivatlvo paity , which Is of coiiise tln >
English jmity. livery lulliieneo of
Iinpot lallsm that could hp In ought to
bear In that campaign was uszd and it
was usul iindiv chcumslances which
seemed to promise success. If there was
over a time In the recent hlstoiy of Die
Dominion when thu conservative party
ought to have won that time WM at the
last gcueial election. All the condi
tions , witli the possible CM option of the
Manitoba school Issue , seemed to favor
It. The mitlsh bociotat.v for the
colon'es ' was bidding for colonial supjwnt
by pioposlng a policy that would bind
the whole Imperial stiucture Into a
closer coiiMiieicial union The whole
povur and Intluenco of the Hrltlsh gov-
einmcnt was being hi ought to bear to
Indi'co the people of Hut Dominion to
adheio moio closely to the Hiltlsh
goveminent. All tin- protected Indiu-
11 It's and rallioad luteicsts of Canada
were appi-alcd to In behalf of thu main
tenance of thu existing conditions. Yet
the liberal paity won jind Its victory
wan hlgnlllcant of the fact that there
Is a majoilty of the people of Canada
who am not absolutely controlled fiom
Ixniduli.
Hut notwithstanding all this , It would
bu a mistake to ( .oncludo that Canadian
Independencu la a matter of the near
futuie. There ate still poweitul Inilu-
uuct 3 there which uru opuodod to thu
Idea of wparatlng from the mother
country , both from political and patri
otic reasons. A giont many Cana
dians understand that separation fiom
I'nglnnd might be followed by a move
ment for anno\ntlnn to the rnlted
Status , for which they are not pie-
paied , and others know that the main
tenance of an Independent position
among the nations of the world would
Involve icspoiislbllltles beyond the pics
ent ability of the Canadian people.
When these and other considerations
aio taken Into account. Itlsnotdlllleult
to reach the conclusion that the move
ment for Canadian Independence , while
not necessailly piemnttue. Is not likely
to piovo foimldnble 111 the Immediate
futuip and that if tlieio are any
Americans who count upon It us likely
to have omlv icsults In promoting
closer political and coinmeiclal relations
between the Dominion and the I'nlted
States , they aio undoubtedly doomed
to disappointment.

American railroads have floated more

With freu colnago of silver at 1G to 1 , and
the consequent advance of gold to a pre
mium of at leabt 50 or CO per rent , thegc
railroads would be utterly unable to pay
these bonds. llaiikruptcy on the most

H the wage eainers have any doubt as to
the Indifference of the leaders of the slher
movement to their Intoiests , they should
read senate document 311 of the llrst ses
sion of the rlfty-fourth congress This
document consists of some letters written
by a Mr John I * . Young to the San Francisco
Chronicle , nnd published In that paper on
December 13 , 1S95 , and 1'ebrnary 2. 189'j. '
They were presented to the senate by Mr.
Teller , the chief of the free coinage party ,
and were printed in obedience to the order
of that free silver body. Wage- camera
will find in them a remarkable argument
addressed to the emplojers of labor for
the purpose of warning them of the competi
tion with the manufacturers of this country
threatened by the manufactures of Japan ,
and suggesting a way to meet It. In bilef.
Mr. Te.ljor commends and endorses the argu
ment that as Japan has really decreased
wages by becoming a silver country , the
rivalry of her manufactures la to be feared ,
and cannot be met unless our own manu
facturer * also i educe wages by adopting
the silver standard.
Itut we shall permit this oxtraordlnarj
document to speak for itself After more
than twcntj jcars of ineffectual effort to
maintain bimetallism , Japan went to a silver
basis in 1S7S , and at the present tlmo two
slher vcns ( a jcn being the equivalent of
our dollar ) aio equal in value to one gold
jen In the meantime wnges have not ad
vanced , so that their purchasing power has
been reduced b > about one-half Senator
Teller's paper quotes the following telling
statement from Sir Hdwln Arnold , who Is
spr.ilclng of the Industrial skill and capacity
of the Jnpinese'
"And when one icalizcs that this ability
and capacity can be obtained there for an
average of 8 cents a day , against $1 50 a
day and upward in America , and i BhlllliiKs
upward in England , it is not hard to sec
that there Is leaHon in what 1 saj. "
There are some further rates of wnges ex
hibited In the Teller paper. From It we
leain that cnipentcrs , plasterers , and some
others receive < 5 cents a di } ; tatlois and
dyers receive 21 cents ; male cervants 10
cents ; laborers , 19 cents ; and women weav
ers 3Vj cents
The paper contains other statements ,
come of them taken from the reports of
our own consular officers , while others are
from the letters of English mil American
newspaper correspondents. They are all
Intended to chow that Japan threatens our
manufactures , because , by reason of the
adoption or acceptance of the silver basis ,
the hbor coot of their products has been
Kduced one-half The argument Is there-
foio , that If this country will follow the
example of Japan and becomu a sliver conn-
tij our manufacturers will bo able to com
pete with tiiclr Oriental ilvals Otherwise
there \t \ > danger that the cheap product of
Japan will Injure our capitalists The pv
