5,56S of them, are pald $50 each, while
1854 poll clerks get $40 each and the
same number of ballot clerks S. each.
The chief OF the election bureau gets

ballots cost S27.000, stationery, maps
etc, $4,000 and advertising 6O,0oo.
Probably two-thrds of this vast sum
goes to heeiers of the Tammany organ

city into u maelstrom of debt from
which escape is next to Impossible.
Here III our little county where the
vote is small and large portion of the
population isolated the cost per vote is
less than one-third the cost in New
York and it would be but little greater
if the vote were three times as large
Inspectors, judges and clerks are con-
tent with an allowance of $500 each

of ballots and advertising is small. We

THE United States government has
scored a great triumph in obtaining
the consent OF the British government
to the settlement of the Venezuelan
dispute 10y arbitration. The tone of
the continental European press is hos
tile to the agreement which they pro-
fess to regard as 'an extension of Mon
roeism," but as matter of fact it is less
that than it is recognition by the two
greatest nations of the eastern and
western continents of great princi-
pie which should govern the settle
ment of all such controversies.
