The falling off in the vote in several States,
within the last three years, can only be account
ed for by local causes occurring in each. All
those local feelings and narrow excitements will
be swallowed up and overcome by the two or
three great questions involved in the next presi-
Dental election. 1t is probable that larger vote

lions of votes will be polled Heretofore, dur
ing the last twenty years, two organized politi-

NEW YORK STATE MILTTIA-ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE ApJuTANr GENERAL.-The condition of the
militia of the State has been laid before the As
sembly. in a report Of the Adjutant General,
from which document it appears that the aggre-
gate force of the State for 1916, reported by
the brigade inspectors, hundred and
sxty-hve thousand five hundred and forty. eight.
This, the Adjutant General thinks, is " far less
than the number of those who ought to have been
enrolled" The deficiency in numbers is attri-
buted to the unpopu arity of the old militia sys.
tenn, which caused kind OF disrepute to fall upon
anything connected with military enrolment
AS the new law now stands, it is made the
duty of the captain OF each company district to
enrol the men within his district, and that without
any compensation. This duty, if properly per-
formed, will often require much time, and in
volve considerable expense and it is feared that
this very necessary part of the system will fall
into neglect, unless reasonable com pensaton is
allowed for the services of the officers who have
TO perform the duty of filling up the rolls
Section 81 of the law directs that the treasurer
of this State shall annually before the 18th day of
December, transmit TO the Adjutan General correct
statement OF the sum total paid into the respective CITY
ard county and the State treasury for fines and
Communication money! copy of the statement made in
pursuance Of that section is annexed 1t embraces only
sixteen counties, in which the amount of Communication
money for the year 1916 is five thousand eight hundred
and eighty.six dollars and twenty. eight cents. Many
other Of the officers named In the s6th section have
believed received Communication money. which they
have neglected to report to the State
quired by that section Of the law.

The BosToN TELEGRAPH Very soon after the
arrival OF the steamship Cambria at Boston, on
Saturday last, and within few minutes after the
operators commenced to transmit the news to the
press in this city, communication between the
two cities was suddenly interrupted.
This interruption continued for two or three
hours, when it was repaired but the hour at
which we received the news was so late as to put
it out of our power to issue an Extra Herald that
night. This of course created much dissatistac-
ton, and many people thought that the news in
full mad been received. twas not, however, re-
ceived, for the reason that the wire was cut
about seven miles out of Boston, in several
places news messenger from Boston saw
that the wire had been cut or broken for a
distance Of several rods.
We make this explanation in justification of our
repeated warnings to the public to beware of the
spectators, who, as the event has shown, scruplc
