TIE MAN WHO DIDN'T TOTE

The closencss of the election has given voters
in this and adjoining States a new consciousness
of the power and influence OF the Individual
ballot. The choice of President and the con-
troll of the National Administration for four
wears have been determined by a few hundred
votes. ANY citizen who has brought his iniiu-
ence to bear even upon q narrow circle OF ac-
ouantances is therefore entitled to consider
himself a factor of considerable importance in
the solution of the years political problem 1t
seldom happens that the election OF President
has been so directly dependent upon the de-
liberate choice of the individual voter. This Is
n reflection which should have SOLDERING effect
both pom impulsive and cautious citizens III
the ballot this year has given the individual
voter an impressive sense OF personal power, IL
has also carried with it Il tremendous weight OF
personal responsibility.
In view of these facts what can be said in
favor of the man who didn't vote 7 lie had five
months in which to reach a decision and in the
end stayed at home, either from inability or un
willingness TO make IN intelligent choice lie
deliberately shirkcd the Responsibility OF citl-
zenship, declining to make what he considered
a choice of evils. The election has now passed
and he has the melancholy satisfaction of count
ing himself political cipher in an exciting con-
test of the highest importance in which every
unit proved III the end to possess determining
value We do not think the position of the
man who didn't vote is at all cnviablc. lie
lacked eithor the courage, tho intelligence or
the conscience to make his influence felt either
on ono side or the other. Even if it were a
choice of evils, ~ he claimed it to be- it was his
duty M a citizen TO mako that choice and to
give positive weight to his influence as n citi-
zen. The individual voter only deserves re-
spect and consideration when he weighs parties
and men in the balance and gives the country
the benefit of u deliberate choice.

1.-THE cholera scare in Paris comes late in the
season. 1t is not possible that the disease can
get any hold in that city before cold weather,
and the frankness of the authorities in admit
ting its existence shows that they think so.
The last thing they ever do in Paris is to tell
the truth if there is any chance of its hurting
trade by driving out foreigners. But the situa-
ton does not promise well for next year. The
cholera germ will probably hibernate during
the winter only to be warmed to Life next
summer.

calls upon all competent lawyers to be present
at the canvassing of the votes on Tuesday, and
TO scrutinze it with great carci in every county,

counted and not one dishonest vote or one vote
not actually cast Some of the ablest ind most
eminent lawyers have consented to watch the
count and guard against frauds in certain coun-
ties. But the best men are needed III every

The death of the late English Postmaster
General causes great regret abroad as well rs
in England. Mr.. Fawcett was not only an able,
painstaking and successful public official, but
he was man of remarkable information. He
was blind yet he did what few men have done
who had all their senses-he mastered the in
tracies of Indian finance. and was able to make
lucid speeches on the subject in Parliament.
Much as Mr.. Fawcett improved Englands do
nestle postal service it is to be hoped that his
successor will realize more fully than he, the
Importance of the speedy transmission of the
Atlantic mails, and see to it that they are sent
to America IN the fastest steamships instead OF
the slowest.
