now. since there are a dozen patented
machines for which the highest claims
are made.
AS our contemporary well remarks,
the reform ballot system secures the
right of the voter to secrecy of the ballot,
and the machine for recording the vote as
certainly secures accuracy in the count.
There can be no false tallying, no cheat
In calling off, no miscounting by pur-
pose or incapacity, or the half-asleep
tally clerks. There can be no delay in
announcing the returns except it is GRIM
lnally purposeful, for the voting machine
records the total with every ballot cast,
and when the polls close enables the cleo
ton board TO ascertain and announce the
total vote for each candidate Immediately.

THAT SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY RAIL.
ROAD SUBSCRIPTION.

A contemporary says that the San
Francisco Savings Union has subscribed
$4,000 toward the capital stock of the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad. It commends
the Savings Union and continues by say
ing that it is easy enough to put one man
down for thousand or two, but the sub
scriptions that count are made by corpo-
rations that can back up their signatures
with the coin. The San Francisco Saw
ings Union has made no subscription to
the San Joaquin Valley road. Its Board
of Directors recommended that course to
its stockholders, but the Savings Union
itself cannot subscribe to the capital
stock of a railroad. The State is not quite
so fortunate as to have great monetary
institution in San Francisco willing to
invest money for the development of the
interior of the State. The State has had
just one set of railroad builders. They
were originally citizens of Sacramento.
Meanwhile it is worthy of note that this
story of the subscription of a banking
corporation in San Francisco to the cap
ital stock of railroad company has been
repeated until it has come to be believed.
Any vague story set afoat by Mr.. Leeds
of San Francisco appears to be taken
with great avidity by the gullible press
and the still more gullible public. The
en-mule and two-horse team as a COM
petitor Of the Southern Pacific Company,
grotesque as it was. was actually believed
to be true, and the papers publishing the
statement as the Inauguration of COM
petitive route by mule teams have
since published its contradiction in
their news columns without one word
of retraction editorially. Likewise the
subscription of $50, 900 to the capital stock
of the San Joaquin Valley road by
the San Francisco Savings Union will
fade out and our contemporaries will not
confess that it was practically an inven-
ton.
The foundation of the story amounts to
this: The Directors of the San Francisco
Savings Union, having the subject OF
growth of the Stats, it's development and
its prosperity under consideration, con-
sidered resolution recommending the
stockholders of the Savings Union to
subscribe $4,000 to the capital stock OF
the San Joaquin Valley road. A director
offered an amendment to make the re-
commentator $4,000. This recommen.
dation passed the board, with the pro-
viso that the recommendation was to
stand only if other institutions of a sim
liar character make like recommenda-
tions and their stockholders make like
subscriptions. Railroads are not built
with money raised by resolutions of this
kind. The San Francisco Savings Union
as a corporation could not, of course, sub.
scribe. 1t could not afford the liability
even if it possessed the legal power tc
make the subscription.

ELECTION Law IMPROVEMENTS.

EIECA1ON LA" IMHROf EMENIS.
The Fresno ErpoSitor quoting the re-
marks of the RECORD UNION on pro-
posed amendments to the reform ballot
law, says 1t is not clear that the PROPOSE
tion to appoint election clerks irrespect-
i've of residence in the county would be
an Improvement or not. To US it is per-
fectly clear. Most of the delay in count
ing, most of the errors in casting up to-
tails, all the errors in sealing and certify
ing are chargeable to the incompetency of
clerks of election. Let clerks be selected
because of especial fitness, and where the
desired clerk cannot be had in the pre-
cinct or ward, let the appointing author
ity be justified in sending to any polling
place any clerk, no matter whether he
resides in the precinct or not, and we
will get better service.
The ErpoSftor approves the suggestion
that the voting machine-the best selected
from among the many-shall be given a
trial. 1t will be very easy to hold mock
election and use one of these machines
under charge of legislative committee
this winter. A machine that is properly
constructed. so that it will register with
absolute certainty the will of the voter
who operates it; machine that is simple

USE FOR THE FERRIS WHEEL.
A Great Scheme to Employ One Of th'

A Great Scheme to Employ One of the
Worlds Fair Attractions.
The Ferris wheel has been sort Of
white elephant on the hands Of the
owners ever since the Worlds fair. 1t
paid very we'll there, but since they
have not known what to do with it. 1t
is now proposed to take it to New York
and turn it into a sort Of gigantic ele-
vator to carry people to roof garden
and skating rink, which will be the
highest in the world.
The plan is to erect the wheel as it
stood in Chicago. Outside Of the wheel
and trellis work will be four steel col
umns. These columns will run closer
together as they ascend until the top is
reached, 300 feet, where steel plat
form, 200 feet square, will be con-
structed. Ascending from four corners
Of the platform will be four more steel
columns, running up 40 feet to pyra-
mid tower, protected by a railing, which
will serve as an observatory.
In summer the platform will be open
and used for roof garden. In winter
it will be closed in with glass and heat
ed with steam. Mr.. Ferris believes the
platform will be sufficiently large to al
low room for a stage and an orchestra
when it is desired to use it as root
garden. .-Philadelph Ledger.

with the French at Mars Ia Tour, and a
mitrailleuse, stationed on a hill, was
pouring shot into the Prusslan ranks.
Nearly $50 men had fallen under It's

vaders should silence the gun or fall
back No officer would order his com.

called for, and Is men responded.

gun was captured. Schartow will accept
