along other lines. Women will not be
satisfied with such weak reasoning
when they know how men try every day
to degrade women and then yelp "pur
ity'' whenever the ballot is mentioned
The finest men of our land are gradu-
ally becoming convinced, and many Of
them voted for their wives to be their
equals.
VOTING MACHINE.
Oakland Tribune: The voting ma
chine comes in for another good word.
1t has been tried in several places DUR
ing the recent election The Trans
cript records this result: " Yesterday's
experiments at machine voting at
Rochester, n. Y, and at Worcester In
our own State, appear on the whole to
have been most fiattering to the hopes
of those who have looked forward to
these trials with confidence in their
success. 1t is said that in Rochester
there was saving Of 1000 in the cost
| of the election. Both at Rochester and
| at Worcester the machines appear to
| have given satisfaction to all but a few
persons: many Of these no doubt deter
mined beforehand that they would not
| be satisfied: the probabilities are most
| encoura ging that before another Pres
| idential election, we believe, that voting
machines VIII be in use throughout the
| State
CONFIDENCE RESTORED.
Visalia Delta: Within a week the
+, financial condition of the United States
has improved ma terially. Gold is emerg-
| ing from the safe deposit vaults and
| other places and is flowing into the
| banks and the United States treasury.
The available cash balance in the treas
ury now exceeds $3.50. 100000, and the
| gold reserve for the first time in four
years without the issue of bonds, has
| risen to above S121 100000. Paper
money of all kinds, even silver certifi-
| Gates, is in demand in exchange for
| gold, and the reserve is expected to
reach higher figures. The increase of
| business now promised is expected to
| increase receipts from customs and in
ternal revenue, and the present treas
ury deficit may be reduced. There is
| little proba bility now of the United
! States treasury being called upon to
| furnish large sums of money for ex-
port and it will therefore be unnec-
essary to make further issues of bonds.
| The history of the past week has proved
that the country suffered most from
| lack of confidence, and that confidence
/ has been restored.
| SERIOUS CHARGES.
| Marysville Appeal: The Appeal has
| it on the very best of authority that in
| two or three precincts in this county on
| last Tesday that there We're exhibitions
of gross negligence and criminal oper-
! alton on the part of the Election
Boards. OF the details and the specific
| instance the Appeal" will treat in its
news columns hereafter. We have to
say now and here, however, that men
who will willfully infract known laws,
who assist in prostituting and break
ing the secrecy of the ballot, or would
best be serving the country by solitary
| confinement in penal institution.
| This is said without regard for the feel
| ings of any man or the mightiness of
| his social, financial. fraternal or po-
| litical standing. Let the guilty ones be-
ware.
THAT REVIVAL.
Los Angeles Express: 1t is wonderful
how quickly business revives on the an
nouncement of the election of William
Mckinley Of Ohio. Mills all over the
country are starting up, and there is
great rush on the part of the employees
to again be reinstated in the positions
which they were filling before the
| threat of free silver caused them to be
custed from employment. The finan-
cial market is easier, prices of cereals
| have risen, and there is a greater de-
| mand for all sorts of commodities. The
| Republican party confidently asserted
! that the election OF Mckinley would
| bring about revival of business but it
was not anticipated by those who made
these statements that it would occur as
soon as it did. This revival of conf
| dence and activity in the commercial
and industrial circles has had greater
| depressing effect upon the free silverites
| than the election of Major Nc kinley it
| self
NOT AN UNMIXED EVIL.
Santa Cruz Sentinel: Times of de
preston. such as we have been expert
encing for the past three years, are not
| an unmixed evil by any means. People
| have been practicing the most rigid
| economy. But few new debts have
| been contracted, and many of the old
| ones have been liquidated. The old
clothes have been worn longer, the old
| machine used another season, the car
riage and the house have gone without
| their needed coat of paint. Now that
| the good times are coming, most per-
| sons will be in a position to make the
| best Of them, and the demand for man
| ufactured goods will be unprecedented.
| This viii give steady employment at
| good wages to all the factory opera

troads. The employees of both factories
