WE do not believe, should Kansas send
Mrs. Lease to the United States Senate,
as is not improbable, that the Senate will
accord the woman seat. 1t will be in
disposed to recognize as a national legis-
lator one who in her own State cannot
vote. Mrs. Lease is sounding brass. She
has moi fitness for the post, because her
ideas of good government verge upon the
anarchistic. In this city her speech SO
trod upon the border land of the anar-
chical as to offend the thinking people of
the party in whose behalf she was can
vassing. 1t is unlikely that the United
States Senate will admit to a seat in that
body any person who denounces the
maintenance of the National Guard, who
curses in fine rhetoric the law and its
officers and exalts outlaws and highway
men as the unfortunate victims of the
laws of the States and the Nation.

PERFECT THE COUNTING SYSTEM.

There is in San Francisco a great deal
of complaint about the counting of the
vote, and the charges of fraud are numer-
GUS, but as yet rather indefinite. What
ever of irregularity there may have been,
whatever fraud may have been perpe-
trated, it cannot be laid at the door of the
new ballot law. That law was not in
tended to make men honest. That is a
task beyond the power of the legislative
function. All the ballot law purports to
do is to secure the secresy of the ballot
and to furnish a means of ascertaining
that no more ballots are deposited in the
ballot-box than are issued to voters held
to be legally entitled to vote.
If election boards are corrupt, and mis-
count or mark the ballots so as to render
them illegal and make it impossible to
ascertain the will Of the voter, no law can
possibly prevent it. When it comes to
that, human trust must be reposed in the
election officials, and if it is betrayed the
OhSIINlOlS hl1Sb DO uunL6u OuI ana pun
ished.
When it comes to counting ballots, the
process is precisely as it was prior to the
era Of the Story system. But what the
State can now do is to follow the example
of New York, and so divide the RESPONSE
billy of the trust that the liability of fraud
being perpetrated will be reduced to the
minimum. A means to that end is to
have a separate board of officers to count
the ballots as fast as twenty-five are de-
posted in the box. This will lessen the
op portunities for fraudulent counting.
and at the same time give the results of
the poll almost simultaneously with the
closing of the election booth.
This will take out of the hands of
the election board all the ballots cast
almost as fast as there are twenty-five
votes deposited, and will thus allow no
time for the evil-disposed to neutralize
ballots by mutilating them. OF course, it
will remain that the separate counting
board may be corrupt, and treat the bal
lots so as TO nullify sufficient of them on
one side or the other to secure the defeat
of candidates inimical to the counters.
But, as that board should be composed of
counters of several political compilations,
and as the count would be conducted un-
der the scrutiny of the public and of
representatives of contending parties. it
would seem that the liability of fraud
would be so reduced as to become merely
nominal.

INTERVIEWING IN ENGLAND.
1t is Not Done In the Same Way as in
America.

1t is Not Done in the Same Way as in
America.
interviewing has not yet come to mean
the same thing in England which it
means, and which it has long meant, in
the States, though there are eminent
hands among us who appear willing, in
this matter, to tread hard on the heels of
our American cousins. In England, as
yet, the rule-to which there are already
eXceptions-is courtesy. If you are un-
willing to be interviewed, your unwill-
ingness is respected. You receive a pO-
lite request to allow yourself to figure in
"Our Gallery of Notorieties." Some
times this is a temptation straight from
the Evil One himself. Jones had no idea
that he was notoriety until he was in
receipt of that request. 1t is not in Jones'
flesh and blood to refuse to occupy
niche in hagiology if a canoniZation is to
be obtained by acceding to an interview.
In the case Of Jones the interviewer
probably finds himself in clover. Yet,
ungratetully enough, the interviewers
declare that the JonSes are thorns in their
flesh. 1t is true that the eminent hand is
received as though he We're prince, is
made much OF and is treated to the best
that Jones has to offer. Jones will ''show
off, to him, in fact
But that is not what that eminent hand
wants. He will tell you afterward that
Jones would not allow him to get in a
word edgeways. He kept gas, gas, gas
sing Because it must always be re-
membered that an interviewer does not
want to put into his interview what you
want, but what he wants. A surgical
operation could not have made Jones see
this. He would persist in talking about
what interested him, and not what inter-
eSted the 1nterviewer-Or, rather, the in
terviewer's public. The poor man did
not realize the situation. The inter-
viewer did not really wish to glorify
Jones. Not bit of it! The hint in that
direction was only bait for the hook.
What he really wished to do was to tickle
the palates of his readers, and so TO earn,
perhaps, an honest tive-pound note.
Jones was only a subject-one of many;
the lay figure about which the artist-the
lnterviewer-had to group his properties.
If he only knew it, the interviewer found
him dreadful trial-Jones!
Have you noticed how the ordinary in
terview, as it is known in England is apt
TO read very much as if it were catalogue
OF furniture? Some of the interviews
and some of those, too, which seem to be
the most widely appreciated-are practi-
cally nothing else. The interviewer, in
these cases appears to have interviewed
the house, not its owner. He tells you
what is in the hall, up the stairs, on the
landings, in all the rooms, the kitchens,
and the servants bedrooms. If the house
is III the country, he describes the stables
and the dairy, the pigs and the poultry.
The interviewer might, for all the world,
have been brokers' man taking an in
ventory: This sort Of interview reads
like nothing so much as some of the ad-
vertisements of old George Robins.-All
the Year Round.

NJ. Jolly assures US that in France there
IS no intimate relation between poverty
and crime. In England the prison
population is highest when work is most
plentiful, and lowest when work is
hardest to find. The twelfth report of
the Scotch Prison Commissioners reveals
the fact that the prison population was
greatest when pauperism was lowest.
The report of the Board of Prison Di-
rectors of California for the past year
Is just at hand, and we find from it
that of the ,233 convicts at san Quentin
37.63 per cent. are foreign born, and that
the chief crimes in the order of numerical
prominence are grand larceny, burglary
and murder. At the Folsom Prison, of
the rs prisoners 80. "a per cent. are foreign
born, and the principal crimes range as
in the San Quentin report. At the San
Quentin Prison, of the ,233, S64 can read
and write, and 246 can read but not write,
while only 123 are unableto read or write.
At Folsom, of the rs prisoners 595 can
read and write, q can read but cannot
write, while 103 can neither read nor
write. The largest group at San Quentin
as to occupation is that of laborers, while
only 30 others, out of the l, 233, are re
corded as without occupation. At Fol-
som, q out of 725 have no trade or calling,
and the largest group is that of laborers.
In both cases the very large proportion
OF The convicts are men of trade and
reputable callings, and the majority are
not illiterate, so far as ability to read
and write enters into the question; so that
the conclusion of Mr.. Morrison would
seem to be supported by our own statis-
tics that the idea that ignorance is first
factor in the production of crime is error,
and that the fact is that instruction in
reading and writing has little or no effect
in elevating the character and diminish
ing the annual volume of crime. To
this judgment investigators in France,
Guerry, Yoernes, Haussonville; in Italy,
Lombroso, Garofalo, Ferri; in Belgium
and Germany, Quetelet, Won Oettingen,
Valentini, Starcke, are all more or less
emphatically committed.
Mr.. Morrison concludes this branch of
his subject by saying that which we are
not in all respects agreeing with, but
which furnishes texts for most interest
ing inquiries:
The most that is admitted by the majority
OF competent inquirers is that education
sometimes determines the form which crime
will assume; the educated criminal, they
maintain, seeks to attain his ends by fraud
rather than violence. DR.. Bosco is of opinion
that the spread of education has had the erect
OF diminishing the percentage of homicides.
Yet even these small concessions to the work
OF education are the subject of much dispute.
The only kind of education which possesses
undoubted value from moral point of view
is the education OF the character; and as
Tarde has shown, this form OF education is
much more the product of imitation than of
precept. On the whole subject OF the relations
between education and conduct, Goethe goes
TO the root of the matter when he says that
everything is pernicious which liberalIzes
the mind, but gives US no mastery over our
selves"
