Barring the question of & woman's eligibility for the supreme bench and the decadence of prohibition as an issue, Mrs. Bitten- bender makes a very creditable candi- dato.

ELECTORAL REFORM IN AUSTRIA In taking the initiative in the move ment for an extended suffrage the Aus tpian government has undoubtedly made ashrewd move. More modern govern- ments have foundered upon their oppo- sition to u popular franchise and more revolutions have been oceasioned during the past century by the srefusal of the fuvored few to admit the masses of the people to their privileges than by other single causo. Everywhere same fores have been working universal suffrage, and one by one the states that have persistently held out against these demands have been forced to accede to them, Electoral reform in Austria dates from 1873, when the law was changed so that delegates to the Reichsrath, previously chosen by the provincial Parliaments, were thenceforth to be elected directly by the people. The suffrage, however, was limited in iws extent and distributed among groups with different electoral influence. The agitation since then has been for an extensios of the suffrage, tho radicals demanding also an abolition of the group system. The bill just pre sented to the Reichseath by the winis- wy aims to cut off the latter by granting what is reasonable in the requests of the moderal Itintroduce what is practically universal suffrag the limitations referring ounly to mili- tary service, education and the payment of tuxes.

He can do an enormons amount of imis- chief and ruin seoros of firms and indi- viduals without being fonnd out. And if, perchance, his trickery is discovered he is very seldom denounced and adver- tised as a fraud. 5 I'or obvious reasons the dishonest stenographer is more dangerous than a perjured witness or an embezzles The dishonest stenographer inserts words in the wrong place or omits words where they are vital. Many involving vast sums are won or 1ost by the omission, perversion or addition of a single word in t ng down transeribing the testimony of witnesses. Dishonest stenog phers often play important part in,winning cases for corporations by whom they ave periodically lubrieated. We know some stenographers in these parts who are constantly making them- ul in this fashionorin divulg- ing testimony taken by them in which their patron lawye interested although not direcily cmployed. At every legislative session certain boodle stenographers pr forward to get themselves employed in taking down testimony before investi ing commit- tees. Secret sessions with such stenog- raphers become a farce. stimony awhich members are pledged or sworn not to divulge leaks to the parties im- plicated in some job steal, tips are mysteriously given to witnesses to de- camp and the whole object of investiga- tion frustrated. In other instances testimony en before investigating committees is garbled so as to mislead or justify o whitewash.

These facts are very generally known to lawyers and expericnced legislators, but 80 far as we know they never have been commented on by the pres It is manifestly all important that dishonest cenographors be exposed and driven from the profession. They are danger- ous in the broadest sense of the term. They promote knavery and help to in- flict rank injustice upon litigants and the communities in which they are em- ployed. N sen. is or is s or is ve other MALL COLLEGE In his addr the celebratiom o the centennial anniversary of Williamsy colle Chancellor Canfield of the Ne- braska State univorsity referred to the disparaging remarks that ave so often indulged in respecting wha' ave termed the small colleges of the country. It is perhavs too commonly assumed that the suecess of an educational institution, like that of a bargain sale or a traveling cireus, is to be measured by its drawing qualities and that a small husiness al- ways means a poor business or a cheap busipess. That there are many small colleges that are both poor colleges and choap colleges the chancellor would probably be the lust one to deny, but that a small college must necessarily have a small influence in educational matters is an unwarranted inforence, against which a vigorous protest must be raised. he fivst great advantage claimed for the small college is that it is pre-emi- nently the safe college. Not that it harbors a less proportion of idlers or rogues than do the great universitios, but the fact that the numbers in attendance are few conduces to an inti- mate association between and professor. It is said t most powerful inspiration which comes from rvelationships, The which the membe students the that close personal personal influence of a colloge facult exert upon the students is as valuable an education in itself as anything that may be legrned from lectures, recita- tions or books. The small colle, the college that seeks to build up indi- vidual character, while the attendant upon the great university must have his charac! formed before he commences his university car Anothier feature of the small college is that small classes enable thorough work to be done. There is a limit beyond which the efficiency of a teacher cannot go without impairgent. Without subseribing to the doctrine that the ideal education calls forbut one pupil and one master we wmay yot enter a protest against the economy which sacrifices the interests of the stu- dent to the advertisement given by large classe As Chancellor Canfield re- marks: *'It is one thing to fill a lecture room with students over whom rasses a more | pores; but this of the | | literature and se this will be abthrbed can seard teaching nor is it cducation This brings e ¥o the true function of the small colld@ge—the preparation of young men for a still higher education their called through cither in the ool universities or in the | so-called more Wietical pursuits of life. This preparation-includes the ground- work of a liberal education in ianguage, nee and the strength- ening of the churacter which is to guide the student in hts future caveer. A per- son well prepaved by such methods can secure benefits in an overcrowded uni- versity lecture room without trusting to luck that he will absorb of the learning that is permeating the atmos- phere. The small college, moreover, brings education to the doors of its patrons. Small eolleges can and will eventually dot all the various sections of the country, but the number of great universities must r some main attainable only Ly the comparatively few. Small leges must continue to dispense the edu- cation intermediate between that af- forded by the public schools and by the larger universities. THE RAILROADS. The slaughtor of employes and pas- sengers on the railvoads of the United States continugs unabated. The p 8 tion of safety appliances and automatic couplers can have little effect in reduc- ing the annual number of casualties so long as the legislation requiring their introduction upon all railroads is lack- ing in s» many states, st iE SLAUGHTER 0N while in those ates where it is at hand the railvoads violate the laws with a reckless d gard for human life. Instead of show- ing a marked decreaso in the list of killed and injured, the latest statistics just published by the statistician to the Interstate Commerce commission show that it is still on the increase, A glance at the for the acei dents of 1802, comparing them with the corresponding figures for previous y will give a fair idea of the awful magni- tude of the slaughter. To be sure only 54 employes were killed outright in 116 than in 1891, but at the : time the injured among the em- ployes amounted to 28,267, as against 40 for 1801, Amonyg the passengers killed were 376, or 83 more than in and tho injured were 3,227 against 2,072 in 1891, The statistician t) the Interstate Commerce commission called attention to this tervible condition of railroad traflic in the United States as early as 1888, in which year the em- ployes killed but slightly ov 2,000, and those injured slichtly over 20,000. His repeated recommendations that congress pass a law requiving rail- roads under heavy penaltics to equip their rolling stock with the most im- proved couplings and safety devices have remained unheeded, while the extent of the evil has steadily grown In 1892, as in 1891, the total number of casualties has exceeded that of any pre- vious year coverad by the reports and compares most unfavorably with the sta- tisties of Buropean railvoads. Taking into consideration the known reluctance ilroad officials to make public oceurrence of aceidents on their line also the fact that many smaller remair unreportod, this state of affair is certuinly alarming, nor can it be viewed as an unavoidable phenomenon. To regard the railvoads as altogether blameless is to shut our eyes to the un- disputed records. We bave figures that show that railroads are making prac- tically no progress whatover in the equipment of their cars and engines with uniform safety devices. ate leg- islation and unenforceable recommends tions of state and federal railvoad com- missions have proven of no avail. It is time for congress to intervene. A bill “to compel the use of safety appliances on all railroads engaged in interstate commerce” has been again introduced into the present session .of congress. The blame for any continuation of the slanghter will be divided between con- gress and the negligont railvoad officials. ars, less were INFLICTING UNNECESSAIRY HARDSHIP Whatever be the outcome of the pres ent cffort to force the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase luw by means of continuous sessions of the senate, the fact will still remain that the test of en- durance insures neither the hts of the majority nor the justice of tho su cessful cause, A resort to the exhaus tion process is intended to operate upon the contending parties to the fight, but its baneful influence cann t be contined to the senators alons The men who have brought on th unusual trial of strength seem to have had no thought of the hardship unneces- sarily inflicted upon innoeent persons who are in no way responsible for the senatorial situation of today. Thoy seem to have forgotten that a host of senate employes are compelled to at- tend on every whim and fancy of the senate, They seem to have overlookod the fact that althaugh there may be no ifficulty in secwring velief for the sena- srs /whenever they may be- come tired, the fitinber of cmployes who can relieve one auother is swreictly lim- ited. Continuons, sessions are more ex hausting for the pages, doorkeepers. clevks, stenographers and sergeant-at-arms, who are made to almost continuong’ duty in the senate chamber, than it 13 to the active partici- pants in the logislative struggle itself. Employes of thessenate, to be sure, understand thatedhey are subject to summons for night sessions and thoy expect to serve exts time when extraor- dinary conditions,demand it. Toward the close of a shirts session of congress 1t is the regular thing to keep the sen- ate in session so long as there is bus ness to be transacted. This, howev oceurs but ouce in every two year Although the present resort to contin- uous sessions has but' few precedents, it threatens to pave the way for frequent repetition. Expedients of this kind are unuecessary cruelties, They are only employed now because the senate re- fuses to adopt rules that will permit a majority to demand a vote after a rea- sonable time for debate upon any meas- “ure has elapsed.
