They got new man in the photo
graphing department of the prison the
other day. He had been accustomed to
posing elegant ladies and stylish dudes
and people like that, and he had learned
that peculiar politeness that seems to
develop in and disappear from profes-
sional photographers. They brought IN
a prisoner to be photographed and stood
him up. The new operator was little
ratified, but the policeman posed the
prisoner. The photographer took out
his watch, and as he put his hand on the
cap looked blandly at the subject and
said:

THE STORY LAW.

The Story system of counting votes was
tested for the first time in a State election
on Tuesday. 1t proved a signal failure,
not because it is not in theory sound, but
from the fact that for its smooth and rapid
operation it calls for clerical ability of an
order that is born only of long experience
aud commercial or mathematical educa-
zion and training. If officers of Election
Boards were all trained bookkeepers, the
Story system could be carried out easily
and with great benefit. But since it is
not possible to so constitute the Boards,
the system cannot, We fear, be pat into
effectual operation.
In this city, with average Boards, as to
competency, it required twice the time to
count the votes that would have been con-
sumed under the old tally system. The
Story plan is system of book
keeping, with the equivalent of
eash-book entries, of journalizing and
OF lie lger posting. To instruct new set
of officers for each election, so as to carry
out the scheme of the new law, we fear is
cut of the question.
In this county there were on Tuesday
$40 members of the Election Boards. OF
these not twenty fully understood the
Story system, nor were the most OF them
disposed to give the time and practice
necessary to make them proficient in it for
a one days service. Two years hence 800
other officers will be chosen to preside
over the ballot-box, and they will go to
their tasks no better qualified than those
of 1890. If it is replied, select expert
clerical forces" the reply is that in small
precincts they cannot be had, except in q
few cases, when all the other require
ments Of the law are taken into account
Thus, teachers are prohibited from serv-
ing, or clerks in public departments, OF
anyone serving under State, county oil
city department. We repeat that in
theory the Story system is excellent; the
bulletin posting it requires is barrier te
fraud very largely, and the method Of
obtaining results is mathematical one
that corresponds with the best systems Of
debit and credit account keeping. But
bhat it can be put into operation effect
iyelr, except in precincts where the com
mere Il element largely predominates, We
are inclined very strongly to believe is ou
OF the question.

THE ELECTION.

At this writing we are unable to ascertain
precisely what is the result of the election.
But in che East there appears to have
risen a tidal wave of the Democracy that
will sweep into Congress a handsome ma
Sority for the Democratic party.
In this State it is fair assumption that
she Republicans have carried the State by
a good majority, and that both the Legis-
nature and the Executive branches
of Government will be Republican. But
this assumption may be oyerthrown by
ahe returns which are vexatiously delayed,
and in San Francisco shamefully so. In
this county the Republican ticket has pre-
vailed, with the exception of three or
four of its nominees.
In the city but two of the opposition
candidates are elected. In several cases
until the official count is had the actual
result will not be known.
1t is too early to speculate upon the rea-
sons for the apparent sweeping changes at
she East, but it is probable that when the
Enquiry is instituted, it will be found that
the reformation of the tariff schedule lies
at the bottom of the revolution; that the
people have been led to believe that they
were to pay more for supplies than hereto
fore, without any beneficial results in cases
where, in fact, there has been an advance.
When the smoke of the battle has cleared
away, however, clear view of the causes
underlying the upheaval will be had, and
accurate conclusions can then be reached

COUNTY BUSINESS.
The Supervisors Held Short Session
Yesterday.

The Supervisors Held Short Session
Yesterday.
The Board of Supervisors resumed its
November session yesterday afternoon, all
members being present.
Bids for furnishing supplies to the
County Hospital were opened and the con-
tracts were awarded as follows: Bread
Union Bakery: beef and mutton, Gerber
Bros groceries, Christianson, Dierssen &
Co. and S. Dwyer.
Supervisor Greer notified the Board that
Contractor Barry had completed the Hicks
vile trestle bridge and was anxious to turn
it over to the county.
Chairman Ross said be supposed the
proper way to proceed would be for CON-
miltee TO inspect the bridge and report on
it before any action was taken.
Mr. Bates thought the whole Board
should go. as the bridge bad not been built
according to specifications.
Mr.. Tebbets disputed this statement and
said the bridge was all right
1t was stated that the repairs at the Gait
bridge had been completed, too, and il was
finally decided that Messrs. Bates and Ross
should inspect both structures and report
10 the DOdIu
Mr. Greer suggested that an, expert
should 60 along with the committee, but
Mr.. Bates was very emphatic in his dis
approval Of this, and the matter was
dropped.
A petition was received from J. r. Cross
and others for new county rosd connect
ing the Auburn and Antelope roads. The
petition wss filed and viewers appointed to
make survey and report to the Board.
Mr.. Tebbets informed the Board that the
County Clerk was DESTROYS OF having help
in handling the election returns, and he
| (Tebbets) was in favor of employing extra
clerks for that purpose.
Mr. Bates remarked rather sharply that
| County Clerk Hamilton should press in o
service some of the extra clerks he has on
hand now.
Clerk Hamilton told the Board that he
| considered il rather delicate matter, mas
| much as he was an interested party in the
election, and he thought that by having
others to assist him-a committee, for in
/ stance, from each of the parties-much
| trouble might be avoided.
! After some discussion over the matter,
| the Board came TO the conclusion that the
county should also be represented as well
as the political parties, and II. NJ. johnson
was selected as such representative.
An adjournment was then taken until

then we make bold to say that your So
called science is merely laborious and
pretsntious idleness"
That is very plain talk, but it has been
needed, and it is peculiarly fitting that the
editor of the leading scientific journal OF
the country should utter it. There is no
necessity for befogging scientific knowledge
with Technology and style so technl-
cal that they operate as barriers to popu-
lar comprehension. If scientists will only
pause to think upon the truth, they will
realize that what editor Youmans says is
substantially correct-that the Judgment
and taste of the public in matters of sci
ence are just as susceptible of cultivation
as in music and the fine arts, and that
scientific men owe it to themselves to see
that opportunity for this culture is not
withheld
