THE STOREY BALLoT-CoUNTING PLAN.

The last legislature passed an act pro-
viding for new mode of counting the
ballots cast at an election. The plan
was first devised and formulated by ex-
Auditor Storey, of San Francisco, and
it is believed that 1T will prove of great
benefit in arriving at correct conclu-
sions in contested elections. When the
election board proceeds to count, the
ballots are to be taken out of the box
one at time and placed in separate
piles-the scratched ballots in one pile,
the unscratched in another and the bal
lots of each party or rundesignated ballots
in other piles. These are then all
strung separately on strings and
returned to the box and then
taken out pile by pile and carefully
counted and tailed. The erasures must
be kept by the clerks by tallies opposite
each name erased, and after they are all
recorded the names substituted must in
like manner be separately recorded.
The detail of the provisions for record
ing in the tally sheet every erasule and
complete that the tally lists will present
a perfect record of the changes and
alterations in every ticket, and when a
contest arises, on a recount the tickets
and the record of the tally lists
ought to agree absolutely. If not there
will be reason to believe that either one
or the other has been tampered with.
Those who have familiarized themselves
with the Storey plan say that the count
ing of the ballots at the close of an cleo
tion will be greatly expedited. And
now that the new election law requires
the supervisors of each county to divide
the county into election precincts not
containing over two hundred voters
each, there will be no excuse for any de-
lay in getting the returns to the public
Heretofore election officers have hur-
riedly sealed up the returns
and sent them to the county clerk
without keeping copy of the count.
But the Storey law requires the clerks
to post in the room where the ballots
are received and also in front of the
building a copy of the votes cast. When
this is done, we shall not have to wait
ten days for the opening Of the sealed
returns by the county clerk before we can
know the exact results of an election.
The machinery of the law seems little
intricate and complex at first, but any
clear-headed election officer will clearly
apprehend it after couple of readings

THE Santa Ana Standard has this to
say of the new departure in senatorial
contests:
The Los Angeles HERALD of last Mon
day gave Steve White grand old send
off for United States senator. 1t pub
fishes an interview with all the leading
democrats and republicans of the city
concerning his candidacy; and every

petitor with the millionaires whe want

would be statesman worthy OF the
coast, and ought to get there, II honesty
and talent are at par in this state.
The Los Angeles Life on the same sub
ject says:
In this respect, the democratic party
OF Los Angeles county has placed itself
upon the highest pillar of political fame,
and no reasoning voter will fail to so re-
gard its action.

WHATcoM, Aug. 21.-Mr. G. Noel Bear,
chief clerk of the census Office here, GAM
bled away money belonging to himself and
others last night and then bid adieu to this
city. and his whereabouts are not known.
He had a strong passion for faro, and at
various times contributed his salary and
borrowed funds to the tickle goddess. Mr..
Bear was chief clerk of the census Office in
San Francisco in 1880. and brought to the
assistance of Supervisor Jenkins here valu-
able experience, which contributed much
to expedite the work of his census district.
He is competent, affabie gen.
tlemen. whose only weakness proved to be
gambling, and the fine opportunities for
cultivating that particular vice here were
more than he could resist In departing
at night he left pathetic letter to Super
visor Jenkins, reciting his downfall and
asking forgiveness. Besides this, he left q
detailed account of the small amount of
unfinished business 10 be done. The Mason
county district is the only one which has
not yet reported. Chief Clerk Bear
was implicitly trusted, and because
of his superior ability and ia
miliarity with census work, occupied
very prominent position of responsibility.
His departure will discommode Supervisor
Jenkins, who is unfamiliar with the rou-
tine duties. but fortunately the work of the
office is practically finished.
To allay the fears of enumerators, it
should he said that no public funds were
appropriated by Mr.. Bear The funds
which he squandered were borrowed from
private individuals

TACOMA. Aug. 2L-The route surveyed
by the Union Pacific across the Commence
ment bay tide fats 10 deep water is over
land owned by the Tacoma Land Com
pany, which. as is well known, is North
ern Pacific corporation. Many have doubt
ed whether the land company would per-
init q railroad avenue to be laid out as pro-
posed across its property for the use and
benefit of the Union Pacific and other rival
companies. The subject was broached to
Isaac w. Anderson, manager of the land
company, this morning, and in reply he is
reported as saying: 1T is very likely that
a railroad avenue will be laid out as has
been suggested. The land company owns
the upland over which the Union Pacifc's
surveys run, and expects to purchase the
abutting tide lands of the state. The land
company will allow the laying out of
railroad avenue. which will undoubtedly be
done, it being. in fact. already partially de-
cided upon, and just how wide it will be
has yet to be determined. The avenue will
be for the use of other roads as well as the
Union Pacific. and win not be turned over
mostly to one line, as was q similar street
in Seattle"

Review OF the Trouble From the Be-

New YORK, Aug. 2l- Today Powderly
has been preparing the following. which
was made public tonight:
For some time the management of the New
York Central & Hudson River railroad has been

labor affairs. It happens that all those
who have been dismissed are members
of the order of the knights of Labor
and have at one time or another
been officers of the order or have served in the
committees which have waited on officials with
a view of presenting grievances These dis
charges became so frequent and were SO clearly
the evidence of q settled purpose on the
part of the company to disrupt and
destroy the organization of the Knights
Of Labor upon the Central system,
that the executive board OF District Assembly
246. in which the Knights of Labor upon the
svstem are enrolled, found it necessary to call Q
snecial meeting TO consider the matter. In the
meantime the general executive board, hav-
ing been apprised OF the condition
of affairs, sent one of its members.

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 21.-A tinge of
sentiment colored the proceedings of the

progress of Delegate Fewel's speech in
support of the proposition offered by him.
self to confer suffrage upon women. Few
ellis resolution is as follows:
That it is the sense Of this convention that 1t
is q condition necessary TO the solution of the
franchise problem. that the right to vote be Sc
cured by proper constitutional enactment. to
every woman who shall have resided in this
state six months and who shall be q years of

whose husband, If she has a hus-
band, owns real estate located

woman voting in any election may be cast by
some male elector who shall be thereunto au-
thorized in writing by such woman entitled to
vote. Such Constitutional enactment shall be
framed SO as to grant women the right to hold
Office.
After two hours discussion on the reso-
luton, Fewell struck out the Objectionable
clauses of his resolution and had it re-
ferred to the committee on election fran
chise. Woman suffrage is becoming in
favor among the best minds of the conven-
ton, and unless safety from negro su-
premacy can be reached by other methods,
Fewell's plan, or one similar to it. will be
adopted.

MONEY 100 PER CENT.

Almost q Panic in New York-The Gov.
ernment Increasing the Circulation.
New YoRK, Aug. 21.-The stringency in
the money market today was sharper than
it has ever been since the May panic of
1874. AT the opening of the stock exchange
brokers who were long on stocks and had
borrowed money on them were glad to re-
new the loans at 20 per cent. per an
mum. Even this rate would not
bring q renewal of the loan IN
many cases, and before II O'Clock many
borrowers received notices that their loans
had been called in. Brokers who bought
stocks yesterday in anticipation of relief
from the treasury department tried to OBJ
tain funds to pay for their purchases, but
were unable to do so. and the combined de-
mand caused large crowd to remain
around the money post of the exchange all
day.
Early loans were made at 25 per cent.
but the supply at this figure was soon ex-
hausted and the rate was moved up to 400
so and 70@S0@90, and before 10 o'clock the
prevailing rate was 96 per cent, or equal
to the legal interest and premium of II per
cent. day.
In the afternoon this rate advanced to
a per cent. per day and legal interest, or
equal to 100 per cent per annum, but the
crowd of brokers trying to borrow money
continued to increase.
In the last hour kilograms from Wash
ington City to the effect that the treasury
officials had decided to take measures to
relieve the stringency caused an easier
feeling. The high rates for money melted
rapidly away, too. when fresh supply of
funds came in from sterling exchange bills.

Census Returns by Precincts and Wards
Not Received.


Not Received.
OLYMPIA, Aug. Ex-Governor Ferry is
still unable to issue his proclamation, as
the census returns from Superintendent
Porter we're for counties only. The omis.
sion of precinct and ward returns cannot
be accounted for, as Mr.. Porter's dispatch
of the 18th to Supervisors Hill and Jenkins
asked expressly for returns by counties,
precincts and wards.
The proclamation is drawn up, and will
be issued as soon as these returns are re-
ceived. The matter of receiving correct
returns in order to place them before the
legislature has been of much annoyance to
the governor. He has been compelled to
remain at his desk, and has sent no less
than fifty dispatches aud letters on the
subject. He has wired TO Mr.. Porter and
to Senator Squire again, and has been
awaiting q reply all day.
