VOTING PRECINCTS UNCHANGED.
The New Law increases the Number
OF Voters TO 600.

The amendment to the election law
which provides that each voting precinct
shall contain $50 voters instead OF 500 is
now in the hands Of Governor Rich. it
having passed both houses Of the state
legislature. The bin will be signed by
I he governor IA soon as the legislature
convencs tomorrow, and this will render
unnecessary the redistricting 81 the
wards. as fixed by the city council some
time ago. The precincts will be left as
they now exist. and the council will soon
reconsider its former action. The new
law also requires the ballot boxes for all
elections 10 be opened at O'Clock in the
morning for receiving votes. The law
heretofore has not required the boxes
for city elections 10 be open before 8
o'clock. but now the hour for opening
boxes for all elections will be uniform.

rived in this city and did not have
enough money to purchase ticket for
the remainder of the way home. 1t was
ten minutes to train time. Mr.. Eastin
rushed to the telegraph Office, being an
operator, called up the Larned Office and
in response to questions received the as
surance that sum sufficient to pay for
the ticket would be guaranteed, He
rushed down stairs as the train pulled
in at the depot and delivered ticket
to the unfortunate women. Thus is
shown the kindness and attention which
the travelling public receives from the
Santa Fe at this point through Mr.

Bath, Maine.
They will build no more big wood
On sailing ships at Bath, Maine, the
ehief city Of timber ship yards in the
United States. The biggest yard
there has just put in a steel plant,
and steel ships will soon be produced.
Bath is a shipbullding city to the
core and to the man. 1t was incor-
porated as a town In 1880, but ships
were built there more than century
and q half ago, and though the in.
dustry has sometimes Jagged sadly
seagoing vessels have been launched
from the Bath yards every year since
the first keel was laid there.
Its site was fixed upon by the set

The Australian financial disaster
struck community which was al
ready on the top wave Of an unprece-
denied financial imitation. Within
the past five years a banking mania
has ragged In Australia. Banks have
been established by the score, and
some of them have begotten as many
as $50 to 200 branches. Every little
village, every crossroads hamlet, had
its one, two or three banks. The
parent institutions were of such mag
nitude that nothing as potential can
be found in this country outside of
New York City. Their aggregate
deposits exceeded $3.50, 900, OOO-near-
ly half as much as the entire deposits
Of the national banks in this country.
About half this volume Of deposits
was derived from England, and was
paid for by the Australian banks at
81 to AZ per cent. No English bank
could afford to pay such rate Of in
terest; English capitalists, eager for
income, sent their money to Sydney,
Melbourne, and Adelaide. To earn
interest on this vast volume Of de-
posits, the Australian banks were
forced to lend on any security that
was offered, from the wool on a
sleeps back to shares in hole in the
Broken Hills, or lots in Sydney val
ued at SO, 1000 a front foot, 1t was
evident that the first mishap would
precipitate a liquidation which would
be disastrous. The mishap came
when the big strike of 1890 forced
the workmen and their employers to
withdraw their deposits to live. For
time the banks paid dollar for dol
lar. But presently other depositors
who were not pressed by personal
needs, but who watched the gradual
decline in the resources of the banks,
began to take the alarm, and with
drew part of their deposits. Some
English money which was lying sub
ject to call, was cabled back to Lon
don. This went on until the banks
were not able to stand the drain. and
one after another they suspended
payment. In the course of six weeks
fifteen banks failed, with liabilities
Of over $5OO,OOO,OOO. Others have
since followed.

The Other Side of tho Case.

When John Hay was over in Spain
some years ago, he expostulated with
the Spaniards regarding their bull
fights, and pointed out the cruelty to
animals, the hardening influence Of
the spectacle upon the observer, the
actual loss occasioned by the needless
Staying of so many beasts merely to
make a holiday-in short, the utter
barbarism of the sport.
The SpaniaIds, he says, listened
gravely, and made answer thus: "The
bulk of the money paid for the show
goes to charity; were there no bull
fights, bulls Of good race would cease
to be bred the nerve, dexterity and
knowledge of brute nature gained in
the arena is good thing to have in
the country; that, in brief, it is our
way of amusing ourselves, and if you
don't like it you can 60 home and
cultivate prize-aghters, or kill q
year-old colts on the race track, or
murder jockeys in steeplechases; or,
if in search of wilder excitement,
thicken your blood with beer or burn
your souls out with whisky"
We leave our readers to decide
which had the best Of the argument.

predominated. Among the largest
vessels turned out there are the
Susquehanna of 2,72S tons burden
and the Roanoke of 1892. The
Roanoke is, in fact, the largest
wooden ship afloat, and there is but
one larger sailing craft on the ocean,
the tlve-masted steel built France.
The Roanoke is also the largest
American ship ever built but one,
the Great Republic which was
launched in 1853. Notwithstanding
the superior size of the Roanoke, she
has not so good record for fast sail
ing as the SusQuehanna, which beat
her in recent trip from New York
to San Francisco around the Horn,"
the Susquehanna's time being 122
days, while the Roanoke's was 1875.
Though both are wooden vessels,
they are fine specimens of the ship
builders art, all the latest ideas be-
ing embodied In their construction.

NERVOUS people have drawn at

NERVOUS people have drawn atten-
tlon to the stringenoy of'money at
Chicago and to the failure Of the Co
lumbia National Bank, which was
followed by the suspension Of twelve
banks in Indiana, six in Michigan,
and one or two elsewhere, as evil
dences that confidence was being
shaken there. But the apprehension
seems ungrounded. The banks which
have failed were creations of the no.
torlous Zimri Dwigglns who has been
going around starting banks wherever
the soil was little damp, after the
fashion Of the famous George Smith
and st. Paul Mitchell. This enter

mission, appointed by this country
and Canada to inquire into the
means Of securing better protection
for coast and inland fisheries, will
commence its work along the coast
as far north as the st. Lawrence
River, which 1t will follow to the
great lakes. 1t expects to reach the
lakes this season and to conclude the
work upon them, and follow the
boundary through to the Pacific next
summer. The work is Of very great
interest and value to both countries,
and, we trust, will end in the estab-
lishment of better fishery regula-
tlons upon the great lakes. There
is serious need of an improvement in
methods, and the only way it can be
made in a completely satisfactory
manner is by international treaty
and federal law.

WE insist that Mohammed Webb
should pause in his mad career long
enough to apprise the American peo-
pie which brand of Islamism he pro-
poses TO convert them to. Like the
Christian religion, Islam has sundry
jarring sects, each Of which calls the
other misbeliever, and denounces its
rivals as worse than the Christians.
History tends to show that in the
last clause of this indictment they
all tell the truth. Until Webb can
assure us that he has the only simon
pure article we are excusable for de-
riding all his efforts.

THE idea that farm work neces-
sarily implies more Of mere drudgery
than does other occupations is a great
mistake. Every business in these
times requires close attention to Sc
cure the highest success. In one
sense, therefore, every business man
is confined to his work. But there is
really less confinement on the farm
than in other business, and the
horses that the farmer is obliged to
keep for daily use give him oppor-
tunities for rides and short excur-
slons with less expense than can be
enjoyed by others.
