Voting Machines.

Machine voting may not be dis
honest when the right kind of ma
chine is invented. A new contri-
vance has been invented which it is
claimed will prevent dishonest mani
pulation of ballots, and also protect
the voter against some of his own
errors. 1t is called the Myer ballot
machine. 1t is very simple in opera
ton, being built somewhat on the
plan of a cash register. 1t is en-
closed in a booth, which the voter
enters, locking the door behind him.
He sees before him enlarged blanket
ballot with the names of the candi-
dates arranged vertically in party
columns, each column printed in
different colors and to the right of
each candidates name is small
knob BY pressing the knob oppo-
site the name of the candidate for
whom he wishes to vote a numbering
device on the other side of the parti-
ton registers one vote for that candi-
date, and at the same time locks all
the knobs for the other candidates
for that particular office Thus no
man can vote for more than one can
didate for one place If an illeterate
man wants to vote a straight ticket
he simply presses all the knobs of
the party color. All these knobs
pressed in remain so until the voter
leaves the compartment by door on
the opposite side from which he
entered. The opening of this door
releases all the knobs, leaving them
in position for the next voter, and
unlocks the entrance door. BY this
machine an absolutely secret ballot is
assured, and there can be no false
counting of votes. Announcement
of the result can be made immed-
lately after the polls are closed

The advocates of court controlled
by the lawyers in their own interests
SO that the public Tor the part thereof
which is unfortunate enough to be-
come involved in litigation) can be
bled to the last drop, is driven almost
insane in vain endeayor to find some
telling weapon with which to attack
the invincible record Of Judge NJ
gent. THAT terrible slowness con
stitutes almost the sole whine of the
Statesman The Statesman might
find some comfort in the expression
made by good staunch republican
in Weiser the other day. He said,
1.-The judge who is slow enough to be
absolutely right is fast enough for
any country" The Statesman's wall
is almost as touching as the condition
Of the mendicant who blisters his
arm with fly plaster and goes about
exhibiting the sore to obtain aims.
Another indictment over which a
most woe-begone face is drawn is
that people have actually gone into
court and asked for the jury trial
which the law of the state gives
them, and these juries had to be paid
for Would they try and make an
intelligent people believe that a Judge
can cancel the pay of jurymen? or
suspend the statute that grants jury
trial? or that some other more liberal
judge would pay the jury out of his
own salary? They should be thank
full that they have had Judge who
is always right and who does not go
over such cases in bungling manner
that would cause them to be sent
back from the superior court for re-
trial, to double the expense to the
taxpayers and give the lawyers an
other pull at somebody's pocket.

A REPUBLICAN VERDICT,

Mr.. Tom Catalan, who is stump
ing the district against Judge Nugent
and in the interests of a certain
coterie Of lawyers, made his speech
at Caldwell, commenting on which
the Caldwell Tribune, an able repub-
lican journal, says:
We have listened crefully and W thout
tinge of prejudice to the arraignment of
the first judicial officer of the third judi
clal district. The indictment was pre-
sented by gentleman whose integrity we
are not at liberty TO question. The counts
were many and couched in vigorous
terms. Uncontradicted and unexplained
they were sufficient on which to find
verdict Of guilty. We have also examined
into the defensive side OF the case, and we
have listened with impartial mind to tes-
timony in rebuttal We have tried to
weigh the evidence for and against with
care and justice. We have felt that not
only was the reputation OF an individual
at stake. but in II large measure. the
public welfare was involved After due
and careful consideration, we are COM
PEELED by justice to emphalically declare
that our opinion, the indictment against
Judge Edward Nugert is not a true bill
We do not believe that the vote of any
man ought TO be influenced one way or
the other on account of the presentment
made by Mr. Catalan.

A Correction.

Mr.. EDITOR Since a wrong i'm

DRY of a basis upon which money
should be issued in behalf of the
country may be made by the utter
ances OF the SIGNAL, we ask space in
its columns to simply state our views
on this issue, not presuming upon a
non-partisan paper to argue them.
The views conscientiously set forth
are these: The government should
coin, free of charge, for all who pre-
sent gold and silver bullion at the
mints at a ration of 16 of silver to
of gold, and that gold and silver be-
ing undisputed money material the
world over and decidedly the best
material for money, shall constitute
the money of our nation as far as
possible. But since there is not gold
or silver enough for this purpose, the
government should Issue supplement
airy paper money to raise the amount
to $50 per capita and that such
money shall not be what is called re-
deemable, since such money furnishes
the money manipulators opportunity
to draw the gold out of the treasury
to that amount and take it away to
Europe. CONSTANT READER.

THEY SEE 1T ALI.

The people have realized that the
fight over the district judges seat has
narrowed down to nothing more nor
less than fight between small ring
OF Boise lawyers and the people, and
the people propose to show who are
in the majority They realize that
there is wide difference between
judge for the lawyers and Judge for
the people. Nugent is the peoples
judge, and the voters know that when
Il ring of lawyers make such dcs-
perate fight against him it is because
he administers the law so well in the
settlement of the peoples difficulties
that it shuts off the juggling of the
legal lights by which litigation is
drawn out and on from one court up
to the next and back again with buz-
card glee, which is only guaged by
the clients purse. We know the
sentiment of the people and we make
the broad prediction that Judge NJ
gent carries every county in the dis
trict See how near right We are
when the votes arc counted.

The Statesman advises the voters
to Ego and hear Catalan, who will

ing the voters that it is to their inter

that it meant Tom would tell the
truth about the Judgeship, but that
he is lying in everything else. Very
we'll. If Tom is telling the truth in

"flat' in the sense in which it is
used by the political speakers, but
not in the sense in which we think it
ought to be used "Fiat' is a word
which is handled very careessly by
some orators. They use it where
they should use the word 'sirredeem.
able. - "Fiat' simply means claw
and the populists are right when
they claim that a twenty dollar gold
piece is 'fat, because it is the gov
eminent fiat or law that stamps it
rs legal tender. Fiat has nothing
whatever to do with the commercial
value. Paper money is no more fiat
than metal money--the difference is
in its commercial value without the
fiat. 1t is not question of fiat or
no nat, but upon what substance
shall the fiat be placed. The speak
ers using the term mean money that
is not based on gold and silver (the
only two substances which contain
true money qualities), therefore they
ought to say ''irredeemable" instead
of stfiat

Business Will Revive.

Elections under the best of crcum-
stances have tendency to unsettle
business. Campaign years are always
years of perceptible slackness in trade.
This year these general rules were
heavily reinforced by disturbing threats
Of theory-mad chevaliers to prolong the
agony of tariff demolition and continue
the causes which had precipitated an
unexampled panic. Very naturally
therefore, trade has looked to the cleo
ton returns for it's cue. 1t has waited
to see whether increased economies and
continued curtailment would be necces-
STATED, or whether, with the tariff
wreckers blocked by a safely Republi-
can lower house of congress, commerce
would take on new encouragement and
the activities of the factory, mine, mill
and workshop return to their normal
volume and thus lead the way to en-
larged general commerce.
The result has happily indicated the
latter course; and business will bequick
to respond to the hopeful signal AL
ready, in anticipation of the present re-
suit, 1t had begun to show symptoms of
marked revival. The Democratic par

A Triumph of Right.

No other man than David 3. Hill
would have attempted the impossible in
New York state. No other man, after
having fought his party's tariff bill at
every stage in it's corrupt passage
through congress, would have appeared
upon the political platform in the role
of its abject apologist. No other man,
fresh from a brilliant record of uncom-
promising opposition to the income tax,
would have gone before the business
men of Americas leading state with an
appeal for funds to be used in the at
tempted Strengthening of the party
which imposed that iniquitous tax. No
other man would have suddenly stepped
aside from a trail made conspicuous
by incessant and Machiaevellian hos
tility to the Democratic president to
kiss the enemy's hard and fawn at the
enemy's feet.
The surprising thing in yesterday
turns from New York is not that Hill
did not win, but that he should, at any
stage of his anomalous campaign, have
impressed his personal following in the
Democratic party with an idea that he
was for an instant serious candidate
The effect of Hills audacious course
upon the Democracy at large was un.
doubtedly stimulative and electric. But
for Hill, Democracy would have re.
mained in the torpidity Of confessed de.
lection. That his personal daring
should, therefore, upon such a basis
have been the means of restoring hi.

SWEPT FROM HIS ENGINE.


Fireman Mitchell, of the Lackawanna and
MOntrOsc Railroad, Seriously Hurt.
Douglas Mitchell a fireman on the
Lackawanna and Montrose railroad
passenger train which makes three
round trips daily between Afford and
Montrose, met with an accident Mon
day which may result fatally.
On the night trip to Afford. while
coming down the mountain near the
junction with the main line, the engi-
neer saw fallen tree lying near the
track. He could not stop the train un-
til after it had brushed through the
limbs which stretched over the rails
When the train came to a standstill
Fireman Mitchell was missing from the
tender of the culm-burning engine.
After searching along the track
Mitchell was found lying on the bank
unconscious and with a deep cash on
the side of his head. 1t is supposed he
was swept from the platform Of the
tender or the top of the boiler by the
overhanging tree limbs. He was taken
to his home in Montrose on the return
trip of the train and had not regained
consciousness yesterday.
Mitchell has a wife and two children
and formerly lived in Great Bend. He
has been an active member Of the Fire
mans brotherhood and enjoys an un-
usual popularity among the engineers
and firemen Of the Lackawanna road
