The Day of BallOting.

WE'LL this is election day, and once again
the people of the states are balloting for
this, that and the other principle and all
sorts and conditions of men who have been
placed in nomination by different parties.
O1ce year the ballot box is opened IN
different places and as rule the elections
progress quietly and with far less friction
between the partisans than was formerly
the rule. The business of reform In the
great cities has been actively taken up by
Intelligent men so that although there is
probably today more or less fraud being
practiced in the way of repeating, illegal
voting and kindred tricks. yet there Is
every reason to believe that the elections
are cleaner on account of the close scrutiny
exercised by citizens whose hope Is to
purify the COVER of the cities and the
methods of electing their officials. In the
early hours of election day the chief con-
sideration is usually meteorological, and
the we Their reports are closely scanned for
IL dications of the prevalence of republican
weather" or the reverse. incidentally 1t Is
a reproach to the enterprise of the road
makers of the country that the weather
should have any decided effect upon cleo
tiers, but that is another matter. Today
the weather map would seem to give what
is generally known as ''stand-of' in this
regard, and there is no very bad climatic
i, fluence being exercised in any section of
the country. Whatever the weather and
whatever the results, The Star is ready as
usual to keep it's thousands of readers ac-
curately informed of the progress of the
fight that is now under way in fifteen of
the states and its bulletins tonight and its
extra issues will be prompt. reliable and as
interesting as the voters in other parts of
the country manage to make the tidings.

Chicago is requiring every person found
down town late at night to give an ac-
count of himself. The officers enforcing
this rule are in citizens clothes. 1t is pre-
sGmed that ample prec autions have been
taken against two of these civilian CARRIED
autocrats getting together and demanding
explanations of each other. Such an en-
counter would be almost sure to develop
a tragedy.

TABUlES.
Mr.. Charles S. Patterson,
the publisher Of
Newspaperdom. says that
it is not often that he gets
SO enthusiastic as he does
over Ripans Tabules.
Almost with the regularity
of clockwork he used to
feel, at about eleven
O'Clock, that something
had gone wrong with his
breakfast: especially was
this true if he had had a
restless night, as is no
uncommon thing with
headworkers. My
stomach" said Mr..
Patterson, lis under the
standard as to strength,
and it seems at these times
to act only indifferently,
and finally to stop. Clouds
come before my vision and
a slight nausea is felt.
Then l reach out for my
RiDans Years of the
sort of thing related have
made me know the
symptoms as well as my
name.) Down goes one
of the blessed little
concentrated boons, and in
few minutes the visual
clouds lift, discomfort
passes away, stomach
apparently resumes
operations, and at 1890 or
o'clock | go out for my
usual rather hearty
luncheon-all in
delightful contrast with my
former practically ruined
afternoons-tllat I sought
to escape by fasting and
various doses"
