ELECTION LAW CONTEST.
Registrar Hinton Has Not De-
cided What He Will Do
About 1t.
He Has Some Good Words for the
New Law and Is In Favor OF the
New Commission.

Registrar Hinton says that the rumors
that he is to refuse to give up his Office on
the demand of the new Election Commits
sion, when they are appointed, and make
contest, are premature. He does not
know whether the duty of making con-
test will devolve upon him or not, even if
it is made.
As to the report that the Governor had
asked him to hold on for time, he said
that he had had no official communication
with the Governor and did not know his
opinion as to the new law. When asked if
he would refuse to give up the office on
the demand of the new Election Commits
sion he said:
can't say as yet anything about it. have
no definite idea one way or the other. / shall
take the highest and best advice 1 can get and
shall act upon that after fully. considering
what is my duty to the public in the matter
The making OF contest may not devolve
on me at all majority of the members of
believe that the law is constitutional and
they may deem 1t their duty to make a contest
1t must be apparent to every one that The
question of the constitutionality of the law
should be decided and decided as soon as pos
sible, in order to save great deal of inconyeni-
ence to the public and to enable the prepare
Mons for the coming elections to be made. I'm
less the matter is finally settled soon a great
deal of harm might be DONE
The members of the present commission,
believe, would be glad to get rid of the respon.
sfbility of this work. 1t is not lucrative takes
great deal of time and requires an immense
amount of patience and endurance. Certainly
the passage of the new law is to them a great
relief, and do not wonder that they are
anxious that it should fail
II only my personal interests were at stake 1
should certainly not enter into contest. but
If think that 1t is my duty to do SO to facili-
tate preparations for the coming elections I
shall do So 1t is now time to begin prepare
tons for the next primary elections
There are many good features in the new
law. That part in regard to primary elections
is the beginning OF policy that hope to see
carried out, SO that we may have honest
primaries, something l have not seen here in
forty years. | hail this as a step in the right
direction, and hope that it will prove effectiye
The selection OF the men from whom election
officers are to be chosen is under the present
system in the hands of men who have politicai
interests at stake by which any but men Of tn
strongest character are apt to be influenced
1t is provided that these officers shall be On the
assessment roll, but that rule is generally dis
regarded. Ni'
board appointed by the Mayor and free
from these influences will be better ahle to
carry out the law without fear or favor. Then
too, such board would not be SO apt to be in,
fuenced to expend money extraynpant1v
and would be also very apt to conduct
the election on business principles. The nrns'
ent election commission is not in An }nds
pendent position in this respect,

The Bicycle and woman,s Zeal.

There was good deal of pith to Mrs.
Stanton's remark in reply to Bishop Doane
that women are riding to suffrage on the
bicycle. They may not be riding to suf-
frage, but they are riding everywhere and
everywhither they want to go. Certainly
and conspicuously they are riding into any
sort of costume it suits them to put on.
Boomers are getting so common that it
seems possible that the untutored eye
will presently dwell upon them with
out a shock. The more circumspect
American ladies still keep out of
them, and may never come to prefer
them to skirts, but the young and giddy
experiment with them pretty freely. Was
there ever anything so efficacious to give
women an idea of what she could do If
she tried as the bicycle? Soberly speak
ing, if she had to Choose between the
ballot and the bicycle as means of de-
velopment and advancement, she might
better cleave to the bike. 1t Is worth more
to her than the ballot. It is more fun,
more use, less trouble and very much less
costly. There was pith in what Miss
Stanton said, but is there not some sub
stance in the suggestion that the bicycle
has brought woman so many new oppor-
tunities and privileges that she never
needed or wanted the suffrage so little as
now.-Harper's Weekly.
