FOREIGN INTEREST IN OUR
COUNTRY.

Some expression of surprise is heard
that foreign countries should manifest
SO great an interest in the outcome If
an American election. And why, pray?
Are not the relations of civilized coun-
tries now SO knit together that no rad
ical political change can be made and
not be felt beyond the confines of place?
The fact that other nations manifest
lively interest in the policies we adopt
emphasizes the closer connection that is
setting up between the peoples of the
civilized world. Then, too, the nations
or Europe which are monarchial alwa ys
look upon our peaceful revolutions once
in four years with just suspicion, or a
fear, or a desire, that we are going to
give them an interesting display of rev.
olutionary pyrotechnics. They are not
sure that each election may not be the
last. They are always watching the
experiment" and are just a little
nervous or expectant every time we put
on the test strain.
England, for instance, is anxious to
know whether we are going to supply
ourselves or still depend upon her man
ufactures> Germany is more than anx-
ious about a policy that may affect for
good or i'll her chiefest market place for
toys, beet sugar, art goods. mineral
waters, and a long line of products of
manufacture. France takes a deep ia
terest in our concerns once in four
years because she is sympathetic with
us and realizes that possibly the fate
Of the American republic may deter
mine the life Of the French republic
Austrian, German, French and Bel
gian investors are especially interested
in any change of policy that may affect
the prices of American securities with
which Europe is so literally plastered
and the prices of fine goods they export
to US. England is profoundly intereste
in our stock markets, and a good deal
in the character Of the men we promote
to deal with international and diplo-
matte questions. Russia has perhaps
least care concerning our internal econ
omies. and Italy has none whatever
The South American republics how
ever, are all intimately related TO US
in trade and business, but not one half
so much so as they should be. They
feel a sympathetic interest in the affairs
of this republic. and it is flattering to
us that they do. 1t is said that IN
Chile Peru and Brazil during the re-
cent campaign American newspaper
were sought after more than any others
and were read with avidity. and many
of their leading articles in debate Of
the financial question were translated
and widely distributed to satisfy the
demand for the matter. The truth is
that manifestations of interest abroad
In our affairs instead OF being taken as
an evidence OF desire to meddle with
them, is on the contrarya a manifestation
that ought 10 be very flattering 10 out
pride and should serve TO knit us mora
and more closely together as q peopla

and feet could be seen. This regulation
luif1lls the purpose of the law, which
is to enable outsiders to see that there
is no more than one person in the
booth Why the San Francisco au-
thorities leave their booths open is in
explicable.
At Worcester, Mass, had the booths
been closed to the knees of the voter,
it would have been impossible to see
the motion Of the arm. AS to the noise
of the machines. it is explained that
they were new and were ill-placed, and
that this defect is a thing easily rem
edied At Rochester, N. Y, there were
some delays by break DOWNS but these
were not serious, though they might
have become SO had the election been
very close there. In Worcester the
rapidity of the machine was fully dem
onstrated, in one instance as many as
222 voters voting with 1t in ONE hour.
Usually not more than twenty-five In
one hour can vote under the stamping
system
In each city nearly all the voters en-
tered the booths much prejudiced
against the machines, but nearly all OF
them came out indorsing them heartily.
Only a very few voters exercised their
right to vote by the blanket ballot. All
in all, the press of both cities say the
machines were successful. They dem
onstTated their accuracy, speed and re-
liability. Such defects as they devel-
opsd can be and viii be corrected. 1t
is fair to the inventors to say, says the
Worcester Spy" that the machines
We're placed at serious disadvantage,
and that the conditions were not what
should have been provided.
The next Legislature of California
will be very happily situated in the
matter of examining voting machines.
There will be on exhibition before 1t
nearly a dozen different forms, and at
least three of them will have certificates
of actual trials made during the last
three years. We will have opportunity,
in short, to see, examine and test all
the machines that have been invented,
and to select the best for the trial which
the Legislature will certainly institute.

REsUIk OF THE TRIALS.

In New York and Massachusetts the
experiment with the voting machine at
the last election was successful, the
adverse conditions being taken into ac-
count 1t would seem that the ma
chimes used at Rochester, n. Y, were
less satisfactory than those used al
Worcester, Mass. In neither case was
secresy fully preserved, as the sound
of the machine and the position Of the
voters arm enabled on-lookers to guess
pretty accurately how the vote was
cast But this was not the fault of the
machine so much as because of error
In the fitting of the booths.
We notice that the booths used in San
Francisco were not as the law requires.
The body of the voter could be seen
and the motion of his arm in marking
the ballots. In Sacramento the booths
were curtained 50 that only the legs

There is some talk Of doing the thing

price that they will value it too greatly

A GUARDED STRAIT.

some Tune ago the country was dgl-
tated by a rumor that the British fleet
was about to force the passage of the
Dardanelles. Later came the story that
the United States was going to send a
small gunboat through the passage
whether the Turk liked it or not All
this sounded loud and brave, and to the
far distant seemed easy. But there is
another side to the story, and Mr.. I.
G.. Bowles, Member of Parliament,
draws the picture for our contempba-
ton
To make a forcibIe entrance into the
Sea of Marnlora would be, he proves,
perilous task. The Turk has ON each
side along the Dardanelles splendid and
most formidable Notifications, equipped
with the best und heaviest guns made,
and so planted that no ship can we'll
dislnount them; at least the best ship
could answer to but few of them. Then
the straits, which are long and narrow,
are mined from one end to the other,
and torpedo plants are as thick as
blackbergdes in June.
But suppose British fleet to get
past and 10 lose only two ships in the
attempt The instant the vessels are in
the Sea Of Marulora they are In a trap.
In a. month they would be out OF coal;
in two months. il operations were ac-
tive, out Of ammunition; in three
months out of food; in four months
there would not be a clean bottom in
the lot Golfers and transports could
not pass the straits to furnish supplies
There is no coal on land to be had, and
food in case of war would soon be as
scarce as hens teeth, for the Land of
the Turk is as hard q place for forag-
ing as one could possibly imagine in an
inhabited country.
It follows that no wise Admiral would
enter the Sea. OF Marmora with line
of ironclads except he was certain of
the friendship of Turkey or was posi-
tive Of ability to command the Dardan-
elles and keep a line open to a base
Of supplies. There is no spot in the
world that lends itself so well to defense
as the DaTdanelles. Nature has COM
bined all her skill here to make the pas
sage by an invader unpleasant, If not
impossible. An army could far easier
fight it's way into Turkey by land than
fleet approach the Golden Horn If the
Turk said nay.
The straits between the Aegean Sea
and the Sea of Marmora We're never in
tended 10 be passed in time Of war. The
ancients found that out before heavy
artillery was known. What must the
task be now when all the art of artil-
lery and torpedo service is employed to
defend this pass, the walls Of which are
precipitous, and are crowned by noble
works of defense behind which gunners
are safe from almost any assault from
the water side.
No. the Dardanelles will never be
passed by force except the forts are de-
nlolisiled by a combined land and water
assault, and so large a land force Is en-
ployed to maintain open line of COM
munication to the port that the enemy
cannot resist 1t.

The Emperor of Germany has issued
an order that no officer of the army
shall hereafter use any advertising

or agent, to secure him a wife. The
scandal of the advertising by officers

newspapers, has become too raw for
William, and henceforth the man who

be cashiered and otherwise severely
punished.
