THE SF1CCESSFUL MACHINE.

Mr.. J, H. Meyers, the inventor Of
the voting machine which has been
used with such satisfactory results
suits in the New York local elections
writes to the Pioneer Press to request
that justice be done him by by noting
the difference between his machine
and the mere vote recorders which
have been tried elsewhere. The objec-
ton to the former, as stated by Mr..
Myers, is that they record the votes
as cast upon an linked ribbon, which
moves forward one space for each vote
that is cast. 1t is easily seen that
any one who keeps list of the per-
sons voting in the order in which they
cast: their votes, and then compares his
list with such record, will be able to
tell how each person voted. AS far
as access to the record can be obtained
this is, therefore, hostile to a secret
ballot.
Mr.. Meyers claims that his machine
is not open to this objection. Just
how it operates is not explained, but
the statement is made positively that
its records are secret, and that no one
can possibly trace the vote cast by any
particular individual. If this is the case
it certainly has the advantage over
others who do not afford the same
protection to the voter. We hope
soon to see some such devise in use
everywhere for election purposes. 1t
will simplify wonderfully the work Of
election officers and that of the cleo
tors themselves. When the voter has
to move a knob in order to vote for
any candidate the main objects sought
by the Australian ballot system are
preserved while the mechanical GER.
tainty of the process and of the ascer'
tanned results is a strong point. The
cost of printing ballots, Of setting ur
and taking away the election booths
now used, and of compensating clerk:
and judges for the tedious work O
canvassing the vote would soon cove
the cost of the machines to the state
It makes no difference what machin,
is selected, so that it does the work
But Mr.. Myers is entitled to the bene
fit Of the explanation which he send
of the superiority of the machine
whose performances in New Yorl
have been the subject of so mucl
interested comment all over th'
country.-Pioneer Press.

The senate pine land investigating
committee,in their report on Monday,
presented a startling array Of evidence
establishing the fact that the state
has, during the past fifteen years, been
robbed of millions Of dollars worth of
property, and that these frauds have
largely been practiced upon the school
fund. The report is very lengthy and
closes as follows:
1.-The committee therefore recon-
mends that some body, commission or
committee be created, with ample
pawer to carry on the work after the
close of the session, as the committee
proposes to keep on taking testimony
up to the last hour. Each member
Of the new commission could be given
power to administer oaths and send
for persons and papers and employ
agents to inspect the lands which have
been sold. To prevent the appearance
of creating lucrative Offices, the COM
mittee suggests that these
commissioners be paid only their
expenses, believing that there is
public spirit enough to be found to
undertake the work. The COM
missioners could 60 to separate
portions of the state and send out
agents and collect the facts. The
statute of limitations does not run
against the state, and if the matter is
properly pushed, suits can be brought
against those who have defrauded the
state and millions turned into the
public treasury. If the facts revealed
are as striking and terrible as those
laid before the. committee, thu
governor could call an extra session
next winter to take the proper ant
necessary steps in the premises"
They accompanied it with a join
resolution to carry into force an(
effect the suggestions which close tn
report, and appropriate $1,000 to pay
the expenses. The names Of the
commissioners were not inserted ant
the joint resolution was laid owe
until today to give senators a
opportunity to give some reflection t
the matter. They also introduced
bill, which was passed under suspen
sion of rules, suspending the sale o
timber on state lands for two years.

It would be we'll if the national
health conference in New York would
take some decided and practical steps
to perfect the internal quarantine
system. It is rather late in the sea-
son to be talking of plans. The proc
lamation Of President Harrison, is
sued last summer, imposing 20 days
quarantine on vessels bringing i'm
migrants hither, is not in operation
and immigration is pouring in from
Europe in heavy volume. There is
need Tor quarantine vigilance OF
every seaport and along the Canadian
and Mexican frontiers. The border
states especially need good quarantine
regulations. -Minneapo]is Journal.

REAPPORTIONMENT

It is strongly intimated by the tone
Of the legislature that no reapportion-
ment measure will be passed this
session. Left as this important
matter is to the capriceof legislators
who do not look beyond the horizon
of their own districts, tits not sur
prising that the capitol should have
been filled with the echoes of noisy
personalities, minatory. defamation,
bad grammer and profanity. It was
a folly in the first place to leave
reapportionment prey to such
WITNESSES.
/. Take the whole business of re-
apportionment out of such conditions.
Call a constitutional convenvention
and revise the constitution so that il
shall be mandatory upon every
legislature succeeding the United
States census of population and upon
every Legislature succeeding the state
census to reapportion the state
strictly on the basis of population
Thus, under positive statutory and
constitutional obligation we would
have a fair reapportionment after
each United States census, and
another after the state census, The
legislature would have no chance to
wrang]e over the business, tor its
duty would be distinctly defined
There could be no kicking and nc
obstruction to other public business
1t is a great mistake that the matter
was not so arranged years ago

THE COMING ISSUE

IF a man were to choose from the
public men Of Canada an advocate for
himself or his cause, prob. bly, he
might not select one about whom
there hang the rumors Of official
impropriety that caused the retire
ment Of Mr.. MERCER. And therefore
the championship which this gentle
man brings to the idea of Canadian
independence, and future union with
the United States may not be in itself
a valuable service. But there is one
aspect of it which is extremely
significant. Mr.. MERCER, whatever
may be his political morality, is
nobody's fool. He is an alert,
aggressive, far-seeing man, quick to
catch the drift Of public opinion and
TO use it for purposes of his own. MIR.
MERCER, like good many mon on our
side Of the line, is out of public life
and anxious to return to 1t. He is
watching an opportunity, and waiting
for an issue sufficiently absorbing and
powerful with the public to cast a
veil over his past and carry him back
to his old prominence. Thata man
| in such a situation should choose to
address an audience in the city Of
Quebec in support of the political
union of Canada and the United
States is certainly indicative of the
march of public opinion.
This comes in harmony with other
evidence to show that the thoughts of
people in the dominion are turning
more and more to the possibility of
such future. We had notice only a
few days ago Of the increase Of public
meetings in favor of a closer union.
Coming on the heels of these, the
address of Mr.. MERCER shows that the
question will not down, and that it
bids fair to become a real public
issue. This is the more reasonable
because the arguments in favor Of it
are sound. Every word that Mr.,
MERCER says is true. The future Of
Canada is a sealed book, one that
coming generations cannot lead with
interest or pride, as long as she
remains either a helpless dependency
of the British crown or an equally
helpless rival of a country that so fal
surpasses her in population, wealth
and natural resources. She is destined
to an interminable and always failing
struggle with her conditions as Ions
as she remains side by side with u
but not of us. And the unsatisfe>
and ambitious spirits among he
people are beginning to see that thi
is not an issue of sentiment but o
business; and that, from the Canadian
side at least, union with the Unite
States is inevitable. When political
as astute as Mr.. MERCER sees this
when he dares to announce it to on
Of the great cities of the dominion a
the policy of the future, then, n
matter what his motive, the appeal Q
Canada for entrance to the Union vii
not be delayed Neutrality-suspicious.

THE MORMON TEMPLE.

The interior OF tile temple has an
air of mystery about it. Up to date
none but the faithful have .been
admitted to its sacred precincts, and
as none IF the inquisitive Gentle re-
porters are allowed to enter, the
newspaper descriptions of the inside
are inaccurate, and chiefly the result
of the imagination of the ubiquitous
scribes. AS matter Of fact, there
are portions of the interior which are
as sacred as was "The Holy of
Holes" in the days of the temple
constructed by the wise son of David.
The basement is divided into several
apartments, the larger enc being
57x35 feet, containing a baptisma)
font. The floor is tiled with marble,
polished to the highest degree Of
perfection, while the ceiling is Of a
sky-blue tint. The font is Of bronze.
and, like that in the temple at
Jerusalem, rests on the backs Of
twelve oxen, also Of bronze, which
stand with their faces to the east, west,
north and south. Grand and i'm
pressive as this apartment is, it is
mediocre when compared with some
OF those on the upper floors. One in
particular is deserving of special
mention. Resplendent in blue and
gold is this magic chamber, while the
floor is of blocks of wood not more
than an inch square, brought from all
portions of the world by the mission
aries sent out by the church. Another
apartment adjoining is still more
beautiful. White and gold are used
and the effect is to dazzle the eye. The
tapestries are all of the purest white.
and are rare and costly. All the
basins and ewers are Of the finest
onyx, delicate in tint, and in such
profusion that the sight would drive
dealer in this product insane with
envy. To be permitted to look upon
the magnificent work for an hour is
. said to be worth year ofones life
and trip across the world.
The beehive is the emblem of the
church, together with clasped hands
and the motto" Holiness to the Lord,
Every handle of door and window ha
this design, all having been specially
made for the purpose. In the base
ment all the fixtures, including tn
locks on the doors, the bolts, ant
hinges are of brass On the first foo
they are Of plated gold; on the secon(
plated silver; on the third, old-silver
and above that Of bronze. The wood
work is of oak, all seasoned AM
