a cro s In tlio circle under his party emblem ,
and , In addition , place A cross opposite ( ho
name of any other party candidate for whom
ho wishes to wote. Section 21 , page 221 ,
Laws of Nebraska , J8S7 , leads , In part , AA
follous "The elector shall prepare his bal
lot by making In the circle at ( he top of the

Ncbraskans , and as jour construction of the
section referred to appears to many In Ihla
neighborhood to bo clearly B mistaken one.
you will confer a favor on , probably , thou
sands of voters , by again ( riving them jour
opinion even It jou see no reason to change
i your former conclusion of the manner In
which the new ballot must bo marked.
Kni.IX HALHS
Tin * iii-vv biillnt law enacted by the
Into fusion leglslatmo Is contradictory
j and consequently obscure. The In ten-
| thin ot the lawmakers , however , was to
i make the cross Iu the circle at the head
j of the ticket count as a vote Tor every
candidate whose name Is Iu that column
unlev liy a cross maik opposite Ihe
name of some opposing candidate the
voter signifies his deslio to vote for .some
one else. Ho to vote a H ! might repub
lican ticket with th" exception , for ex
ample , of surveyor , the voter would place
a cioss In the circle under Ihe eagle and
another cross after the name of the can
didate for surveyor on an opposing
tlckt't.
The dlllleulty of voting in this manner
nilses where two or mote candidates
are limning at largo for the same olllce
and grouped together on the ticket because -
cause thi > canvassing board could not
tell which of the names on the straight
ticket the voter Intended to sciatch.
Kor example , theie aie two candidates
for university regent oneach .slate
ticket. If a voter .should place a cross ,
In the circle and a cioss opposite a
name for icgent on another ticket no
one could loll which of his two party
nominees for rcglit he intended to op
pose. If he wished to vote such a ballot
ho should thetefoie make the cioss for
the sttalght patly ticket ami make atl
tlltional crosse.s for each camiitlate lor
regent lor whom he wished to vote.
The- clumsily drawn Instructions to
voteis embodied iu tlie new law con
templates both of thesis conditions , as
follows : "If jou wish to vote other
wise than a stiaight ticket yon place a
cross within the siiu.ne on Ihe light
111,11 gin of tin.1 ballot opposite the name
of each person for whom you wish to
vole ; if you wish lo vote a straight
ticket with the exception of certain of-
lices place a cross in tlie circle at the
head of Ihe ticket you w ish to vote in
the nutn and th > u place a cross' opposite
the names of the candidates you wish
tovote lor on oilier tickets. Or , when
two or moie candidates are gtonpod on
the ticket for the same ollice. as two
or mote lepit-sen la lives , and Ihe voter
wishes to vote for one inmoie on an
other ticket or tickets in the same gionp ,
the -voter must make the cioss iiuik
after each candidate in the gioup on his
own ticket h-e wishes to vote lor and
also alter the name of each candidate
on any other ticket or tickets gtonped
for the same ollice he wishes to vote
for. "
In any event , It is perfectly safe for
the voter who desire * , to cast his ballot
for candidates not on his p.uty ticket
to place a cioss in tlie ciicle above his
paily ticket and place his mail : in the
senates opposite the name of each can
didate he wants to vote for.

Aroused by the aggiesslw course of
the advocaies of Hawaiian annexation ,
those/ who oppoio this scheme of tenl-
torl.il absorption are beginning to make
thenisehcs lie.nd and there aio indica
tions of a developing opposition. This
comes none too soon , lor the apathy
which lias been shown by the opponents
of annexation has , it is to be feaied ,
allowed Us advocates to gain some
gionnd. The latter have been making
the most of their opportunity. The
emissaries to this country of the an-
nexationist.s in Hawaii and the chief
piomoteis of the scheme heiv have been
woiklng haimonloiisly in the ell cut to
ctcate public sentiment lavoiable lo
their cause. An admiial nt the United
Slates navy has been calL'd on to con-
ti Unite to this work of Impressing the
Ameiican public with the necessity and
advantages of Hawaiian annexation and
u senator of the United Slates has vis
ited the islands and i etui mil with the
statement that everybody there of any
consequence wants annexation just as
soon as It can be accomplished. It Ls
baldly possible that this activity of the
piomoteis of the sih'ine can have failiul
to exeit mi Influence and as cmigiess
will assemble a ilille more than a month
hence it Is time the opposition begun
to manliest Itself , to ( he end that that
body nmy get a fair understanding of
the hlute of public sentiment on this
question.
The nsseitlon of the annex'atlonlsts
that there Is no considerable opposition
to the sch > nu > III Hawaii Is not sustained
by equally tiustwiuthy testimony. A
coiicspondeiit of the .Sprlnglleld Hepuli
llcan at Hawaii says that however
much Senator Morgan may attempt lo
belittle the prc.sent attitude of Iho na
tive-born llawaiinns , the fact remains
that theie Is opposition. The coire
spondent refers to two mass meetings
held In Honolulu during Senator Mor
gan's stay , which weie aildiessed by
able speakers and at which lesolutlon.s
weiv passed expressing conlldence that
congress and the piesldent would not
consummate the wiong which has been
begun. "Itegiudless of what one's per
sonal opinion may be , " be says , " 11 Is
unquestionably a fact that there Is opposition -
position and this opposition Is giowlng
evry day. " He expiesses appiehen-
slon that this has come too late , but this
may not prove to be the case If the
American people shall be properly In
formed of Ita existence and extent , AVe
v&ilurc to tliluk that thine am very
I many who now favor nnnexntlon who
l would withdraw their support If they
know positively that a majority of the
j native llavwillnns are opposed to having
j their country absorbed by the T'nlted
.States gl\vn away by a cabal of polit
ical and commercial tricksters without
legaiil to Ihe wishes of tlw people who
have an unquestionable right to IIP con
sulted. The American people have a
keen sense of Justice and a profound ic-
gard for republican principles and this
I must load them to reject the pioposal to
take territory In opposition to the will
of a majority of Us native-hot n Inhab
itants and Its ilghtful owners.
It has been said that there will be no
dllllcnlty In securing Ihe ratification of
the Hawaiian annexation ticaty by the
I'nlled States senate , but this is by no
means assmed. Tlieie will be a more
vlgoious opposition In the f-ennte than
the amicxatlonlsts are probably count
ing on and while there Is peihaps no
doubt of a maioilty for the treaty , It
may not be easy to secure the two-thluls
necpssaiy to Its latlllcatton , At all
events , the time Is at hand when the
opposition to annexation should make It
self known with all possibl < earnestness
and vigor.

This Is the me.st effective answer to
the charge made by the organ of the

competent for the position of comity
ticasurer , which he has held for the last

of the olllclal repot t just made by the

weie appointed by Governor lloleomb
and are strong popoeratic paitlsans.
It Is an open secret that the Male ex-
amincis rounded up the Douglas comity
tieasury on the eve of an Impending
election with the hope that they might
llnd something in tile lecoids and hooks
that would tuinish campaign ammuni

Th.it was a icassuiiiig statement
vvhli h Ambassador Hay made at a ban
quet in London Tuesday in which he
said that he could see no icason why
the filoudly relations between Great
r.iitain and th United ( State.s should
ever be disturbed. Colonel Hay is not ,
like some of his piedeeessots. disposed
to " ( nfiy Englishmen. He is must
thoroughly an Ameiican. who will be
found ready at all limes and in all cir-
cunislaiuvs to uphold the lights and
interests of his countiy. He is not
seeking I'.titish applause , nor will he
make .my elfoit to secme favor bcjond
tile faithful perfoimance ol liU duty
and the observance of those annuities
which Ids position icquiies. Theiefoie
when tlio picscnt Ameiican ambassador
at the coiut of St. .Tames talks of
friendly relations between Great Itrltain
and the United States It may be ac
cepted by the people of both conntiies
with full conlidence as the expicssion
of a sincere conviction and not as a
meiely peitunctory utteiance.
Ceitainly oveiy light-thinking poison
In this countiy and in England will be
glad to believe that there is no reason
wly the friendly relations between the
two gie.it English-uspeaklng nations
should ever be distill bed. Their mu
tual interests aie so great , the commer
cial bonds between them arj so stiong
nnd they have so much In common in
piomoting civilization , that any seiloiis
i upline of their friendly lel.itions would
be deplorable. If theie shall ever be
any grau > danger of such a iiiptme
It will come from the moie reckless
politicians in cither countiy. Among
this class there aie Hiltish hateis heie
and Ameiican haters in England , but it
has been shown that iu neither country
can these pievail against conservative
public opinion. So long as the mighty
linanclal and commeicial Intelesls of the
two nations demand that there shall
be peace and liiendship between them
Ihe.so will be maintain-d and those interests -
terests aie steadily gi owing moie
powerful. |

It Is simply midsummer niidness In the
facn of the civill/atlon of tno world to hope
to establish bimetallism In this or any other
self-rospectlng country on the basis of the
fico coinage of silver at ] G to 1.
It l.s well known now that England has re
fused oven to entertain the proposition of
International bimetallism , and that thu In
dian government Ins lufused to consider the
question of icopenuiK the mint for the coin
age of silver Kilver has pissed the bounds
of even the sem.blaiiho of stabllltj as a cir
culating medium , aiul when that point Is
attained anj govtrnment could Just as well
adopt copper or Iron for coinage Into legal
tender dollars as hiliver They would differ
only In degieo < ii Ulluo and all would de
pend iion | the faith of the goveinment.
IViti has lately followed Japan hi de-
pal ting from the silver standard for the
purpose of gettnfdolo { iclatlons with tlie

Ing the trade of their respective countries.
Peru maintain nlSmetalllsm and the free
coinage of silver but Issues silver coins
on the basis of 31 to 1 in gold , thus making
as nearly as posstUtntho < oins of both Hllver

women will bo drawing pensions , forty or

Mr Hvans "in which the- testimony cleirlj
discloses that marriages with veterans of the

was apparent , the technical proof of it was
not complete.
The present estimate of -

probably 10,000 would become pensioned wid.

Pensioning women bom n long period after
