Defects in Our Election LAW.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Not one honest American citizen in q
thousand would go back to the old system
Of voting, but certainly not one in a hun
dred but would be glad to have a few minor
notifications in the details Of the present
law. The number of ballots which are
thrown out every election for some trihing
~irregularity should alone call for such a
revision as will reduce, If not wholly pre-
vent, this wrong. 1 think every election
officer will agree that our defective booths
are largely responsible for this. They are
narrow stalls. always facing a dark wall.
so that 1t is impossible to read the ticket;
but worse than this is the utter absence or
a table on which to lay the ticket for
stamping and folding. The apologies for
tables used at this election were not halt
large enough to hold the ticket. and even
then 1t was incumbered by the linking pad,
which practically occupied more than half
that little. There Ii lay. You dare not Icy
the ticket down on 1t lest ii become blot
ted and thus furnish a pretext for not
counting it,. Why not use a pencil! If
not, why should not the clerk ink the
stamp before handing il to the voter. Make
the booths arger and lighter, and at least
remove that inky, dangerous pad from the
pretext of a table II for any reason a pencil
may not be used.
The criticism of the Journal as to loiter-
ing within the prescribed limits Is well
taken, but with little inconvenience in any
precinct the voting pace can be fifty feet
removed from the sidewalk, so that the
apparent necessity for obtrusion upon for
bidden ground viii! be, avoided. We cannot
give up that feature Of the law. Retain IL.
omend il and strictly enforce Il.

Comment Of the Press on the Election
of William Mckinley.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 6. - No previous
presidential election i'm the United States
has created such excitement and interest
~facturers felt that Mexican interests de-
nended the election of Mckinley.
The Mexican Herald says: For Mexico
the declaration Of the American people In
favor of the gold standard means continued
prosperity here. 1t signifies large dividends
for our mills and banks and carrying into
effect mary large and important uncertak-
ingS for which capital would not have
been obtained in the United States had
Bryan been elected. The result is for the
general good Of Mexico"
FL Mundo points out the American cam
American nations. for the spectacle is at
forded OF a great party defeated after a
most bitter canvass, gracefully, patriotic
ally and Loyalty accepting the situation
and adds: Mexico. which has followed
with visible anxiety the struggle in the
on learning Of Che triumph Of Mckinley,
the champion Of gold and protection. The
American Union being our principal mar
ket. the continuation there of the present
monetary system isCS US on that basis
an importS mt bounty on the sales OF ell our
agricultural products, while the raising az
the tariff In the Unit ed States Will serve a.
L protection for our newly bern and grow
ing manufacturing establishments Let US,
therefore, salute Mckinley triumphant. and
congratulate Mexico as favored by his VIC
tory
Manufacturers and business men are
greatly pleased with the result for reasona
here given. There is nc truth in The report
wired that Mexico contemplateS adopting
The gold standard.

platform amounts to nothing. with a linn
ttation put upon ii. Besides that. the men
who dictated the st. Louis platform are
opposed to bimetallism. internationally or
otherwise. Mckinley, it seems to me, has
shown by his speeches that he would be the
advocate and supporter of the gold stand
ard on the ground that ii is q better stand
ard than bimetallism. During the four
years to come i expect to see the Repub-
iican party abandon all pretense to a de-
sire to secure international bimetallism.
and the contest will hereafter be made be-
tween the gold-Standard supporters and
the organized hosts of bimetaiism. L think
that four years from now people will be
sufficiently educated to understand the
danger of the gold standard. and the party
that stands for bimetallism in 1900 by the
United States alone will be successful.
There is no reason why we should be
discouraged. Our candidate was all We
could desire and performed his part to
perfection. We must not look backward,
but forward The silver forces have a
magnificent organization, and now. for the
irrst time, the fight is transferred from the
silver States to the whole country"

downright. 1896. by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 6.-The Associated Press
has commissioned a number of observers
to make inquiries in various business cir
cles in London as to what effect the cleo
ton of Mr.. Mckinley as President of the
United States has hal on the business out
look in England. In reviewing and sum-
marking the results of these inquiries it is
shown In the election of Mr.. Mckinney
has had a most favorable effect on financial
and commercial interests here. The uni
versal rise of value in all markets here
demonstrates this in itself. This buoyancy
is perhaps partly due to a reaction from
the undoubted strain CT anxiety which has
been created in all circles here by the
American campaign. 1t seems evident.
also, that the rise of values in En-
glIsh markets Is partly due to a belief
which has gained currency. and which is
based on cable advices from the United
States, hat, while a somewhat higher tariff
schedule than the present one is likely to
be enacted by the incoming Congress, Mr..
Mckinley. in the White House. will not re-
sort to the extreme protection policy which

There is a feeling prevalent in the city
that an era of large and active business
dealings with the United States is about to
begin on the Stock Exchange. the buoy
ancy which has characterized American Sc
curities since Tuesday is expected to ex-
tend TO other departments. The rise in the
prices of American securities on the ex-
change has beer general all along the line.
Notable instances are Chicago, Milwaukee
* St. Paul. which is ga higher COM

stocks of r~eorganized American railroads
are in as good demand as the higher priced
stocks. The cher business has been done

1t is said also that there Is an irnmense
amount OF BRITISH capital awaiting invest

pared To invest 100000 or 43B.O0O each

hat while the European investor will not
buy American securities blindly. he will buy
the securities of sound companies which
have been neglected lately, owing not to
their own defects. but TO the general dis
trust OF American anairs. The Economist
notices with surprise that there has been
