THE SELF-DISFRANCHISED.

The official canvass of the vote in this
State shows that 6,355 more men voted for
the first candidate on the electoral ticket
than voted for the second. This means that
6.355 voters imagined they were voting the
whole ticket, when in fact they were only
voting for the candidate for elector at the
head of the ticket. There are 1858 men in
Indiana who imagine that they voted the
whole Mckinley ticket when they only
voted one-fifteenth of it. There are probably
many more than 2.764 Popocrats who are
now sorry that they voted for Bryan. but
as many as regret it can find solace in the
fact that 2.764 Popocrats voted only one
fifteenth of a Bryan electoral ticket. and
that perchance each of them made the mis-
take of stamping in the square against the
first name on the popocratic electoral tick
ct instead of in the square occupied In part
by a now by no means triumphant rooster
There are 2,6S7 voters i'm Indiana who now
take pleasure in saying that they voted for
James A. Mount when they neither voted
for him nor any candidate on the Repub-
lican State ticket, because the only candi-
eIector. for the reason that they stamped
the square against his name instead of
stamping the square in which the eagle is
printed. There is even a larger number of
Democrats who probably imagined that
they were voting the whole Democratic
ticket presidential and State. when they
simply voted for one elector for President.
The number of ballots which have been in
part wasted by carelessness or ignorance of
the provisions of the law is known. but
the number which was lost by mutilation
incident to the use of the stamp, either on
blotting or illegal marking. cannot be
known until some one in all the counties
should go over the precinct returns. The
number of men who disfranchised them
selves in part by stamping the wrong
square is. as above stated. over $500. That
is a large number. but there Is reason to
believe that more than as many more were
disfranchised by the clumsy device for
marking ballots by blotting or otherwise
making the ballot illegal.

until the larger part of the taxation which
has been placed upon the city shall be paid.
This will take several years. For instance.
the taxpayers should be given time In
which to pay off liabilities incurred blythe
street and sewer improvements before an
extensive system of parks shall be under
taken. Parks would add much to the at
tracuveness of city already attractive,
but, with the present heavy burdens, il
would seem to be wiserto give thousands
of people who are struggling TO pay for
homes and improvements an opportunity TO
do so. So long however. as these are prac
tically mortgaged by street and sewer as
sess ments. it is but considerate to let an
extensive expenditure for parks remain for
the future.
1t will be replied that bonds can be is
sued. But the interest bonds must be
paid and the bonds themselves must be
cared for by sinking fund. The custom
of issuing bonds for improvements has
caused the most of our cities to be bur-
dened with debt and consequent high tax
alton. If. however, the practice of larger
cities is to be made a precedent. we should
seek first to secure an ample water sup
ply by water works owned by the city.
Water works and not a system of costly
parks is the next real need of Indianapolis.

$5.000,000 of street and sewer assessments

Ii may be doubted If any city OF its size
has put so much money into permanent
street and sewer improvements as has In
dianapolis. From 1891 to 1895. both inclu-

The Taller. the miniature daily issued
in the interests of literary people by the
enterprising young publishing firm of Stone
& Kimball, New YORK, ,yhas come TO an end
with its thirteenth number. The publish
ers ingenuously explain that what they be-
gan in spirit of frskiness" suddenly as
sumed the proportions of a serious respon-
sibiity which it was impossible longer to
treat lightly" Then they go on TO say:
1T has come TO the point where in justice
to- the Taller and to its readers we must
either give over our whole time and atten-
tion TO the paper-or stop it at once. I'm
fortunately. we are not free to choose. and
so. we stop" This is interesting. not to
say edifying, but leads people who have had
some experience in real newspaper work TO
wonder what notion these frisky young
gentlemen had concerning such an under
taking before they began. Did they think
literary news would come 10 them of its
own accord, and in a shape to go direct TO
the printer? Did they believe that the re-
views. essays. poems and other contribu-
tions would each and all be available
and could be sent in by the office boy in
sufficient quantities to fill up each edition?
In short, did not these children know that
an editor must edit, and that even if ne got
out but six-by-ten-inch paper each day it
would keep him busy to do II properly?
Evidently. as the result shows, they were
not aware of all these things, but they
know them now, and when they start a
paper again they will do it in a less frisky
spirit. Meanwhile. it is a matter for regret
that they could not continue their under
taking, for the Tatler though a trife flip
pant, had possibilities and good points.

When the Republican ways and means
committee in the House reduced the
amounts for the maintenance of the public
institutions 10 per cent. the cry was raised
that few of them could get through the
two years with the amounts recommended
and finally appropriated. The reports of
most of these institutions show that they
have not expended more than the amount
appropriated. The managers of one insti-
tuition have expended money for purposes
not specified in the appropriation act but
the amount voted for maintenance seems
to have been sufficient. And yet with this
experience. the officers in charge of several
institutions have asked for larger appro-
priations from the incoming Legislature
for maintenance, TO say nothing of the
large sums asked for buildings and i'm
provements. The outcome shows that the
Legislature of 1895. i'm cutting down the ap-
preparations for maintenance. acted wisely.

If you didn't wait to hear the reasons for
the assertion. il would sound rather odd
to hear a native born Cuban. anxious and
impatient to see his native country freed
from the calling yoke of Spanish tyranny:
for the many atrocities charged against
them, the many outrages against decency;
human feeling in their treatment of enc
mics. Nevertheless, this is the feeling ex-
pressed by DR.. Jose Machado Gomez
for many years a leading lawyer of Ha-
vana. and a resident there during the ten
years war. His brother was for two years
president of the Assembly, and during the
liberty was the president of the Cuban re-
public. Dr. Machado is now resident Of

liar lines that the Spanish people are edu-
Gated. Their Indifference to suffering is
hereditary. 1t is transmitted from genera
ton to generation. How? By the bull
ring. The babes, the boys. the young
men, the old men, are it's patrons, its sup
porters. The growing girls and the young
mothers are influenced by it. All classes

ing OF ferOc1ty and a desire 10 XIII. a desire
to see blood. This is transmitted to the
children and to their children's children.
Spain is nation of butchers. They are in
capable Of the finer feelings found In other
people. They do not understand the mean
ing of kindness. They are as barbarous
to-day as they were i'm the middle ages
butchers from the highest to the lowest.
How can they be blamed for being natural?
Can the tiger be taught to eat hay?
Il do not look for the war to continue
much longer than May" co 1tinued DR.. Ma
chado. Spain has reached what you Amer
leans say is her last ditch. Not only
menaced in all her foreign possessions, but
menaced much more seriously within her
own kingdom. Do you appreciate the sig
nificance of the exodus of young men-ten
thousand of them-to escape military duty
i'm Cuba? The majority of them have gone
to France. We Cubans know that this
means an opportunity for Don Carlos. the
pretender. With his wealth and the pow
erful backing of the clergy, he can recruit
an army and pay it well. When the time
comes he can strike the blow to further his
own ambition.
What, then. will happen in Cuba? Wey-
he can look for no support from the govern
ment until the Carlists are defeated or suc>
ceed in dsplacing the present administra-
tion The government will be unable to as
sist him or may find Ii necessary to recall
him to Spain to try his hand at butcherine
his own countrymen. In either event Cuba
will be the gamer. The time Is rapidly
approaching now when the bull fighters
will have to retire from the arena The
