COUNTRY POLLING PLACES.

Some Big Election Distri 20 Up the
state-Registration in til Country.
More than 5000 polling places will be
in use at the next election in the state
Of New York. The number in some
counties has been reduced since last
year. The number of polling places in
New York city, which was 1892, will be
this year 6S3. This reduction applies
particularly to New York and Brooklyn,
and is based upon the provision of law
which makes 400 electors instead of $50
the number entitled to separate ma
chinery of election, polling place, in
spectors, poll and ballot clerks, watch
ers, and a separate registry, says New
York Sun.
In the country districts the area of
an election district is necessarily much
larger, and the difficulties of reaching
1t much greater than in the city dis
tricts. Clinton county for instance,
with an area of nearly 1000 square
miles, has only 35 polling places, and
the average area of an election district
40 slhOiCLOic hCdiiy Lilly miirS. III
Warren county, with an area of 1000
miles, or nearly that, there are only
thirty polling places, and in Hamilton
county, which includes a considerable
part, indeed, the most considerable
part of the Adirondack region, there
ARE only nine polling places in ter
iritory covering 1880 square miles, OIL
; an average of 200 square miles for
each voting district. In the township
of Benson the total vote in last years
election was just S0-51 votes for Bryan
and Sewall and 20 for Mckinley and
Hobart In Moorehouse township of
Hamilton county the total vote at last
years election was only 40, 90 votes be-
ing for Mckinley. When, following the
election of 1891, the Democrats gained
control of both branches of the legis-
1ature, they altered the registration
law in such way that the full enroll
ment of voters in the interior counties
was made more difficult. Prior to that
the rule had been to carry from one
year to another without additional per-
Sonal enrolment, the names of quail
fled electors in the smaller places, and
by this method citizen enrolling HIM
self in one year was qualified to vote
without new registration in the year
succeeding, whereas in the large cities,
where the Democratic vote was most
important, an annual registration was
the rule. Under the present registry
law there is personal enrolment in all
cities, towns and villages having more
than 5000 inhabitants, but in the
smaller places of less than 5000 the
election inspectors at their first meet
ing are authorized by section 33 of the
Election Code ito place upon the regis
ter the names of all persons appearing
on the registry of the last preced
ing general election, except the
names Of such electors who are
proved to the satisfaction of such in
spectors to have ceased to be electors
or have moved away" In other words,
citizens in such places may be regis
tered by proxy. This concession to the
residents of the smaller places is
deemed important by many of them,
especially at this time of the year.

We will respectfully call the atten-
ton of inventors and all anticipating
the securing of letters patents in the
United States or elsewhere upon their
new inventions that John Wedder-
burn and John Wedderburn e Co.,
patent solicitors, located in Washing
ton, d. c., together with their en-
ployes and agents, were for gross mis-
conduct disbarred from further prac-
ticing in any manner whatsoever, as
solicitors of patents or otherwise, in
the United States Patent Office on and
after the first day of October, 1897, for
Systematically deceiving and defraud
ing inventors that had paid them their
money and confided their invent ons
with them, with a view of having the
said Wedderburn & Co. secure their
patents for them.
On n full investigation into the NAL =
practice and other wrong doings of
this company and its agents, by the
officials of the Patent Office, it was as
certained that during a period, which
extended over about two years and
six months, this company had in
duced, by lllegltlmate advertising ana
other deceptive means, over 80, 900 I'M
suspecting inventors to invest their
money with them, with q view of Sc
curing patents and out of this vast
number less than 1,6OO applications
were officially allowed. Consequently,
such state of affairs will leave thous-
ands of these applications lying in the
Patent Office unrepresented by com
petent counsel, such as is desired by
the Commissioner of Patents in patent
cases.
We will say to such that find they
have been caught in this trap, ii they
will write us, giving the name of in
ventor, with title of invention and fl
ing number of their applications, if
they have it, we will render such as
sistance looking to successful termi-
nation of their cases, at reasonable
charge for services so rendered.

parent. The result in retaliation by
the Government of the United States
is also easily imagined. The Domin-
ion Government has already established
a custom house on the border, and is
doing fair business collecting duty
on the goods that go into the new
country, and miners think they will
be satisfied with that. The exclusion
of Americans would practically close
the country for time, for the best OF
the means of transportation to that
frozen region are owned by American
companies.
In the past miners of any national
ity have been free to enter any new
diggings and stake out their claims
without restriction. Canadian miners
are now free to work across the border
in the Alaskan fields. What the result
of an exclusion act would mean to
Canada in a retaliatory measure by the
United States, Canadians know better
than they can be told.
It is not believed, however, that
Canada will attempt to exclude Amer
lean miners. tits true that the United
States excludes Chinese, but Canada
probably recognizes that keeping out
Cinnamon and barring the way for
Americans are two different things.

which the placer mining extends it is
estimated that up to last year there
were 1000 miners. The districts in
which most of them worked were in a
a broad belt of gold-producing rock,
through which quartz veins carrying
gold occur frequently. Through the
gold-bearing rocks the streams have
cut deep gullies and canons, and in
their beds the gold which was con-
tanned in the rock is concentrated.
The mining of this country consists.
therefore in washing out the gravel OF
these beds. So the miners worked,
being fairly we'll paid for their labor,
until the "tenderfeet" made the Klon-
dixie discovery. That was nine months
or so ago, and the news of it is just
reaching the outside world. 1t was
not long in reaching the miners along
Forty Mile and Birch Creeks, though,
and they shouldered their picks and
moved forward in wild rush at the
first word of the new lucky strike. As
a result gold dust and nuggets by the
ton are turned into the mints out on
the coast, and men who never before
rose above the level of the commonest
of miners have come back to civiliza-
ton and comfort loaded with gold to
last them lifetime. Take as an IL
lustration this list Of returned miners
who came on the Excelsior.
