tare have steadily declined for wears. and
are now at as low an ebb as ever known,
ana ID many respects are the lowest rates
IN the country. Transcontinental COM
petition by the several lines OF roads bid
DING for through business estops any
increase as feared by the confiscation
advocates. The movement of products
out at the lowest possible figure Is always
ID the interest of the rail carrier. He is
not TOOL and given to cutting his own
throat by stopping the movement of crops
OF products, nor does he wheel his cars
empty one way to spite himself. Rail
roads are subject to the usual laws of
business, and are not capable in this
country of being operated as the advo-
Gates of confscation contend. The safe
thing for the Government to do is to ex-
tend the time for payment with a Iessened
rate of interest, and at least enable the
roads by legitimate operation to clear off
the senior mortgage, and to just that ex-
instead of abandoning the security and
attempting to operate the roads at the ex-
pense of the whole people for the special
benefit of few of them, as is claimed
may be done. That is scheme that
has not the sanction of ordinary business
wisdom, and is therefore unlikely to be
adopted by our citizens of the East, whose
interest in the debt is precisely as great
as is ours sentimentally, and very
much greater in financial sense.

Revivinr the Patchwork ouilt

The vagaries of fashion are unaccount-
able and no one can tell in what direction
they will lead next, writes Sybil Lanigan
in the LADIES' Home Journal. OF late
months everything which could be recog-
nized as old-fashioned is the new fashion,
and this is as truly the case in needle
work as in sleeves or furniture. The de-
cree has gone forth that revival of patch
work quilts is at hand, and dainty fingers
whose owners have known only patches
and patchwork from family description
are placing the blocks together in new
and artistic patterns, as well as in the old
time order.
In past days the artistic instinct that
knew OF no other outlet pleased itself of
ten over intricate mosaics of calico, and
we cannot despise the love of beauty that
tried TO express itself by form and color
in simple materials.

ELECTION BOARDS.

There must be some reform in the mat
ter of selecting election boards. 1t is no.
torious that fully one-fourth of the men
chosen 10 such duty are incapable be-
cause of lack of business training and
capacity. a goodly number Of the re-
mainder appear to be lacking in ordinary
common sense-in the matter of brains
they are evidently deficient.
Take the case of one set of Ell Dorado
officials who sealed up their returns,
popped them into the postoffice without
stamps and sent them speeding on their
way to the dead letter office. Or the case
of an up-country board a few years ago
is in point. 1t coolly wrote out list of
totals, mailed the sheet to the County
Clerk and to this day has been unable to
explain what became of the original bal
lots, the poll lists and the tally sheets.
In San Francisco there were election
boards last week, who at the end of four
days had not sent in their reports, though
less than 300 votes had to be counted, and
the Registrar nor anyone else appeared
portant records, though the central off,
Gals must have known who the election
officers were, and where they resided.
In this city, as in San Francisco, men are
often appointed to clerical duty Oh the
boards VINO have not clerical capacity
sufficient to qualify them to tally in
cattle corral at rodeo. Others are placed
on election service whose sole quaIifica-
ton is a pulp with someone and ca
pacity to collect the $40 allowed for sup
posed service.
What is needed in the election board is
not only integrity, but trained, clerical
and business capacity for clerks and in
spectors. This element can be had if the
appointing officials are allowed to choose
from outside the precinct, and, of course,
if they are DESTROYS of securing capable
men rather than of rewarding some one.
However, in very many cases we are
aware that the appointing power is anx-
ious to secure ability but is unable to
find it within the precinct where the
service is to be rendered.
What we need therefore, is investment
of appointing boards with power to
choose the clerical force for election
boards from the country regardless of
precinct residence. This should be fol-
lowed by mandate of law compelling
the authorities to select men only who
come up to fixed standard of capacity
under trial. AS for securing judges with
fair intelligence in all cases, that is, we
are inclined to believe, impossible, since
in our own city board supposed to have
ordinary common sense, last week actu-
ally cast the board documents, ballots
and other papers into the ballot box,
locked and sealed it, and sent the Job lot
to the County Clerk, and this in the face
of the large type printed instructions, re-
peated for emphasis. and conspiuously
placed before the board instructing it just
how to proceed.
