NO MARES NEST YET DISCOVERED.
The Canvass of the County Vote Is
Proceeding Smoothly,
But Not Very Rapidly-Budd Loses a
Block of Fiye-A Tie for the
SuperviSorShip.

The Supervisors yesterday completed
the canvass of the election returns from
nine additional precincts, thus complet-
ing the eleven precincts comprised in the
First Supervisor District.
Several slight discrepancies were found
IN the tally-sheets of the sixth precinct,
but they were readily Strengthened out.
In that precinct Budd lost seven votes
from the unofficial returns published,
and in the eleventh precinct Estee got
three more than the first returns had al
lowed him.
There were number of other changes
OF like character, the only important one
being loss of five votes to Baumann,
the Populist candidate for Assessor, who
is running Berkey, the Republican. a
pretty close race. No changes were made
IN the figures for Railroad Commissioner
The chief interest centered in the
Supervisorship for the First District,
The unofficial vote had shown tie be-
tween ellis. the Republican candidate,
and John brennan, late Republican but
now Populist. 1t was thought that
possibly the official canvass might show
that one or the other had secured ma
Jority OF the votes, but there was no
cnange, each having 600 to his credit.
The result will necessitate another cleo
ton in that district.
Frank Daroux was heard to say yester-
day that he would enter protest against
the canvass of the vote in the first pre-
clnct OF the Second District on the ground
that the ballots were left in the box, in
stead OF being placed in an envelope and
sealed as required by law.
1t is said that G.. ii. Oatman will also
protest on the same ground.
The board will commence at o'clock
this morning the canvass OF the Second
District. The prospect now is that the
canvass of the entire sixty-six precincts
Will not be completed before Saturday
evening, and perhaps not then.
Among other visitors during the can
vass yesterday was John Budd of Stock
ton. brother of the Democratic candidate
Tor Governor, who came over here in the
interest of the latter. He requested

Committeeman Alexander to look after

from IA to 80 years. The number has

and In some instances several pupils
claim the same seat. The teachers desk
was utilized by young man writing up
stenography, typewriting, algebra, book
keeping, arithmetic, spelling, grammar
and history.
The individual system, which seems to
be coming to the front in some of the best
graded schools, is a necessity here, but
the work is much more difficult than in
classes where the ages are more uniform
and the former training more similar

elsewhere. The pupils here have no
time for home study, all being employed

"UNAMERICAN.o

A State official whose duty did not call
for any report from him upon the reform
ballot system has seen fit to interject in
his semi-annual report to the Governor a
slap at the ballot law. He pronounces it
"unamerican." because the voter is re-
quired to enter booth to prepare his
ballot. The question is, then, what is
American good form? What was it
about the old system that brought it into
closer relation with American thought
and principle? What was it about tape
worm tickets, pastors, transparent bal
lots, colored ballots, glass ballot boxes,
circular printing on ballots, holding up
''forced'' ballots so that the buyers could
see the goods delivered-that was more
American than the present system? What
made the method of compelling the en-
ploye to indorse his ticket or to mark it
so that his taskmaster could ascertain if
his hireling had voted as hidden, more
American than the present secret ballot?
1t may serve this presumptous State
official to 1earn that the ballot system in
any form known, in the past or now, is
not American. The method of ascertain
ing the desire Of the people by means of
ballots is as old as time. The idea of
printed ballots is not American. We
nave no broad patent upon the ballot-box
or its use. What IS essentially American
Is the attainment of secrecy in balloting.
y nder the Australian ballot law as it OBJ
tains in Australia, there is not absolutely
secret voting. The ballot may there be
identified after it is cast if there is any
desire by a local boss to do it, and if he
can secure cooperation of any of the
election board.
But under the California system, which
IS essentially, wholly American and Cali
fornlan, the secrecy of the ballot is COM
plete, and not even the connivance of
judges and inspectors can defeat it, since
II they af1ix any mark to a ballot while
depositing it for the voter they are liable
10 spend a term in State Prison, for no
use could be made of their knowledge of
the marking without confession of the
crime. AT any rate the liability TO ex-
posure'of the fact how an elector votes is
removed to the fartherest limits under
the California system.
Probably when the voting machine is
introduced, as it assuredly will be. the
class of mossbacks that is always fearful
OF progress and jealous of improvement
VIII rise up and shout ''unamerican."
According to them we must travel in a
rut in order to remain American in our
methods. Not so. ancients; most things
new, worthy, desirable, and improving
are American. and if not we make them
so by adoption.

CHINA AND JAPAN,

China has notified the American Gov
eminent of her willingness to recognize
the independence of Corea and pay an
neutrality-suspicious. to Corea or to
Japan, though Corea is chief sufferer by
the war, is not stated. 1t is therefore
frankly admitted that China cries
Enough" But as Japan appears to be
backward about consenting to peace un-
der arbitration it looks as if she were de-
termined to continue the chastisemeut
of China awhile longer, and then, in all
probability, demand cession of certain
Chinese territory as one of the terms of
peace. 1t has already been given out
that Japan will insist upon the transfer of
Formosa.
To this scheme it is unlikely that China
will consent, nor will Japan in her hour
of triumph forego, as term of arbitra-
ton, her advantage, under which she
may place herself more nearly on an
equality with China as Power by ex-
tension of territory. AS we look at it.
therefore. the likelihood of arbitration
between the victor and the vanquished is
rather far distant.
