Regulating the Railroads.

The Atlanta Constitution SAYS:
1t 10 very healthy sign that in such
State as Pennsylvania, where the peo.
pie are almost hopslessly in the clutches
Of the monopolists, and where the leaders
of both pnrties are practically owned by
the corrorations-it is q healthy sign
that In this State there should be a
movement in favor OF legislative control
of the railroads. Young and feeble a.,
this movement is, the Philadelphia
Press has pounced upon it with tooth
and claw. The gist of the PRESS re-.
marks is, that while railroad discrimina.
tions are crying evils, they cannot be
regulated by law, because it ia such a
delicate matter that any attempt in that
direction might result in injustice to the
corporations.
The result Of stringent and restrictive
railroad legislation in Georgia shows how
foolish and absurd this sort of talk ia {:
but admit that it is true-admit for the
sake of argument that railroad legislation
will result in injustice to the corpora.
tioDs.is 1t not better to do injustice to q
few rich corporations than to permit these
corporations to rob and oppress the poo.
pie: Turn about IS fair play.
The truth is, the operations Of the
Georgia law, under the direction of the
board of commission, has demonstrated
the fact that State regulation of rail.
roads is one of the simplest of all legis.
latiye problems. 1t is a rroblem that
practically solves ITSELF 1t is to be
hoped that there are enough honest men
in Pennsylvania to bring the corpora
tions to terms. The Georgia law ought
to be good enough for Pennsylvania, and
We commend it to the attention Of the
statesmen of that commonwealth.

IT our people will examine tho rail.
road law, they will see that it is not the
duty of the Railroad Commission to act
in any case as to freight or passenger
rates, except where complaint is formal.
ly made TO them, and hence there is no
obligation resting ON them to interfere in
the present railroad iniquity that is be.
ing perpetrated upon US. If our people
do not object 10 it, or are unwilling to
say that they object, and ask that the
evil be corrected, we must not blame tile
Railroad Commission for not taking
action in the premises. Tho Anderson
Board Of Trade by resolution, or the
sitizens by petition, ought to ask the in.
reference of the Commission for the
protection of the people. Let us present
the matter fairly to the Commission, in
order to test both its power and It's will.
ingneas to aid the people against most
and unnecessary tyranny on
the part Of the railroad.

A Uniform Ballot Box.

In view of the attempts being made to
pass measure through Congress look
ing to the adoption of uniform ballot
box for use at all Presidential and Con-
gressional elections, Yankee inventor
has placed upon exhibition in the room
of the House Committee on Elections
voting machine which he claims will fill
the bill. 1t is thus described: The
mechanism is contained in q walnut box.
In front is table of the proper dimen.
sions to receive ballot. At each end Of
the table is roller, over which passes
an endless apron, upon which the ballot
is deposited by the voter. The operation
is as follows: at the opening Of the
polls the officer in charge places upon
the apron q piece of paper of the same
size as ballot, on which is stamped the
United States, State, city or town seal.
BY turning crank the apron moves,
aud the paper is taken into the machine
given distance, Mt which time the
mechanism is stopped automatically.
The first voter then deposits his ballot,
face down, upon the apron. The top end
of the ballot, owing to the construction
of tho machine tables, laps on the bot
tom end of the sealed strip of paper.
The crank i5 again turned, and the ballot
and the preceding strip of paper are car
ried forward into the machine aud auto
matically fastened, permanently, each to
the other. The ballot next deposited by
voter No. 2 is automatically fastened to
the ballot deposited by voter No. l, and
80 on, until all the ballots are deposited,
at which time another sealed strip of
paper is deposited by the officer in
charge, and fastened by the mechanism
to the last ballot. There is q common
registering device attached to the ma
chine, which registers the number Of
votes cast. Inside the box is a spool,
upon which the ballots are wound as fast
as they are deposited and fastened to
the other. When the voting is closed
the epool containing the ballots is re-.
moved to one end of q small frame. An
empty spool 10 placed in the other end of
the frame, TO which spool the free end of
the strip of ballots is fastened. The
ballots arc then counted by winding them
back and forth from spool to spool until
all the ballots are counted. If moro
than one ballot is deposited upon the
apron at the same time, purposely or
accidently, no harm is done, as all of
them run into the machine as one ballot,
and are all fastened to the preceding
ballot, SO that wher they are counted
only one ballot is seen. Unless you Look
at the edges, therefore, no advantage has
been gained.

- IN speaking Of the explosion in the
star route trial on Thursday Mr. Mer.
rick, one Of the counsel for the govern
ment, said that he thought the confesslon
Of Rerdell, when completed, would settle
the case and undoubtedly result in the
conviction Of AL the defendants. lie
saws he received in;imatiOns on Wednes-
dav that Rerdell wanted to take the wit
ness stand and give testimony in the
case. and that in answer to the intima.
tion4 he said the only way Rerdell could
be made witness was for him TO plead
guilty himself. lie says this offer was
declined, but that, after thinking it over,
Rerdell arrived at the conclusion that it
was best for him to plead guilty. He
said he thought the developments that
would be made by Rerde!l would about
finish up the case, as they would be con
vincing a. to the guilt of Brady and Dor
sey, the principal defendants in the case.
