Election Day is only four weeks distant ana
the time for registration is close at hand. The
first registration day in NcwIork and Brooklyn
will be tomorrow. The importance of early
registration must be scif-cvidcnt In the mind OF
every intelligent citizen. While there are three
other DAYS on which this duty can be performed
the 18th, 2Gth and 27th-there is no telling
what NAV happen to make il impossible then
The wise plan is to take time by the forelock
and register at the earliest opportunity. The
election this year. State and local. Is OF large
Importance, and all citizens should feel bound
to vote Registration is absolutely essential.
The sooner this preliminary duty is performed
the better Everybody who can do so should
therefore put his name down tomorrow.

The Democratic Congressional Committee Is
certainly in a bad way. At all events. the
campaign which ii is trying 10 conduct in nu-
mcrous Congressional districts is making no
progress or only progress backward. The re-
turns from the recent elections in Connecticut
and Georgia afford no ground for hope. despite
the roscate prospects hcraldcd in advance, ana
the latest news from Texas Is most discourage
ing No wonder the committees chairman
and secretary thought they needed vacation
at the end of last week; and. fortunately for
their peace of MIND over Sunday, they were
not on hand when Representative Davcy, OF
louisiana who is not seeking reelection, ar
rived in Washington with budget of bad
news He expressed grave doubts OF Demo
cratic success in his district Ghe Ild) and also
thinks the Republicans are not unlikely to carry
the ISt and Hid districts. The break in the
solid South" seems bound to come this year
and Democratic hopes of controlling the next
House are fading.

It is a satisfaction to learn from letter
printed on another page this morning that
there are excellent prospects Of an honest cleo
ton In the city Of Troy. For several years Troy
has been Senator Murphys pocket borough and
the most outrageous frauds have been practised.
A crisis was reached at the spring election this
wear. when Robert Ross was shot by Bat
Shea. a Democratic repeater, who is now under
sentence Of death for murder. One of the men
most active in bringing him and other Murphy
thugs to justice has been Frank = Black. who
has been made the Republican candidate for
Congress in the Observation-Disclosures District
Mr.. Black is confident Of success If the votes
in Troy are honestly cast and counted, and is
making every effort to secure that result. For
the first time the Republicans will have fair
share of the election inspectors, and public
opinion has been so intensely aroused that
frauds In registering and voting cannot be at
tempted without the gravest risk

officials seem intent only upon turning out as

One citizen a minute Is fair average, and
cases have been known in which the operation
was compressed into forty or fifty seconds
In a single month 5000 or 1000 men have
been naturalized in the Superior Court, and

Ae Was All Right.

Yesterday a typical Mexican was
on Alamo plaza, selling Mexican
blankets, lace handkerchiefs and
photographs that were of native
produce. He soon attracted the at
tention Of Deputy United States
Marshal Walters, who interrogated
him to ascertain if the goods were
contraband or not. The man gave
his name, address, produced ex-
press labels and receipts, and
answered questions so candidly
and promptly that the officers were
satisfied and allowed him to go on
his way, pursuing his business of
selling these Mexican goods.

Something New Tomorrow Night

The New Dominion" the play which
Mr.. Clay Clement is introducing to the
theatre going public, is absolutely new
American, and unique. Its principal
character is a philosopher, poet aud
scientist, the Baron Franz Victor Won
ROhenStauffen. In the creation of this
character Mr. Clement evolves a strong
comedy interest, the Baron reSOrting to
his native tongue whenever excited by an
atfrOnt or surrounded by coming in con-
tact with the daughter of the old Virginia
gentleman whom he loves and finally
makes his wife, after cOurtship made up
of many humorous and powerfully dra-
matte incidents.
Mr.. Clement is admirably fitted for the
character, having scored remarkable
success in San Francisco in a similar
characterization Of nobleman Of The
FatheTland in another play Each Of the
four acts Of this comedy terminates with
strong dramatic situation. and abOunds
with as many mirth producing lines as
the most brilliant of IOyt's farce com
edies or those legitimate. OldJime claS-
