SEVERAL towns in New York State
employed the Meyers ballot machine for
the first time in their local elections this
spring; and, as the State press has freely
testified, with entirely satisfactory results.
The machine is self-recordIng, accurate
and expeditions in its working; and any
tampering with the vote by the inspector
is out of the question. The Rochester
Herald states that at Brighton, Monroe
county, the polls closed at three minutes
before 6, and at three minutes after .
the total vote for each of the A candi-
dates who were running for office had
been registered by the machine, transfer
red to the polls clerks book read back,
and verified. But perhaps the best testi-
mony to the merits OF the machine is the
fact that in no instance has an attempt
been made to question its verdict The
ballot box corruptionists stand mute in
its presence. They recognize, instinct
lively that their vocation. if not gone, is
rapidly going.

THE Senate at Washington is receiving
quite a number of protests against the
Russian extradition treaty. There ap-
pears to be one point In which 1t does
no; suit anarchists and others. 1t pro-
yides that assassination or attempts at
assassination shall be extraditable and
puts the emperor or any other member
of the royal family on a par with COM
mon citizen whom il Is attempted 10
murder. 1t has been claimed that under
this clause political offenders Will be ex-
tradited There is, however, in the
treaty a provision giving the Secretary
of State discretionary power to refuse eX-
tradition whenever it is not proved that
the person wanted was guilty of an at
tempt at murder, and it is also provided
that he or she must be tried for the Of
fense for which extradited. Senators
think this will prevent extradition ex-
cept where murder has been attempted,
and they are not ready to countenance
assassination as a means of changing a
form government.
The treaty has already been ratified
by the Senate, so that the matter has
really passed out of its hands, and the
only way in which the treaty can be
stopped going into effect is by a success
full appeal to the President not to ex
change ratifications and promulgate it
thing he naturally would be extremely
disinclined to do, in view of the treaty
having received more than a two-third:
vote in the Senate.
