The new voting machine tried at
Rochester, N. Y, at the late election
was complete success. Although
about $4,000 votes were cast, the ex.
act result in all the election districts
was ascertained in less than one hour
after the polls closed. The machine
is simple, being booth in which but
one voter can be at time. He
presses button opposite the name of
each candidate for whom he wishes to
vote. The pressing of the button
locks all other bnttons for the same
office, making repeating impossible
As the man steps ont and closes the
door the buttons are automatically
made ready for the next voter. The
machine receives, counts and fnots
up aggregates as voting progresses.
1t preserves absolute secrecy and reg.
listers with accuracy.

AND THE SUGAR TRUST

HE Post says that "the sugar trust desires cheap
 sugar. Place the Hawaiian Islands
 m the same relation to the United States as other foreign countries and the sugar product of the islands would contribute to cheapen the raw material but by reason of the $3o per ton protection would not endanger the domestic price of the refined article. For this the sugar trust opposes an nexation of the islands"
 This is in answer to request for statement of any for the repeated declaration that the trust opposes annexation.
 Hawaiian raw sugar now comes to this country free of duty under the reciprocity treaty If the islands were placed in the relation to other coun- tries then sugar would pay duty of $Io per ton. Perhaps the Post tell how this increase in its cost would make 1t cheaper to the sugar trust
 That association of rehners gets 1t free of duty If the islands annexed 1t will still be free of duty If the reciprocity treaty is abrogated 1t will cost SIo ton more than now. It Is true that annexation of the islands would abolish the $3o per ton dierential duty on refined sugar, which would mean only the transfer by the sugar trust of the business of refining to the islands, provided the much cheaper labor there would offset increased cost of fuel and other incl dents of the refining business.
 It will be that the sugar trust, then, has no interest against annexation, and would probably be more helped than hurt by 1t.
  differental duty sugar It IS intended to show that the duty of Stopper ton on raw sugar IS not enough protection to American and beet sugars while $3o per ton refined sugar is too much protection. That Is legitimate and proper subject of discussion. The Democratic Wilson tariff of 1894 gave a differental of 40 per cent ad valorem and oneeighth of cent pound in favor of refined sugar The real of the differentia the difference be- tween that and the 40 per cent ad vaorem placed sugar. The differential in the Wilson bill may have been too low and that in the Dingley bill may be too high, but that has nothing to do with the nexation of Hawaii. There is involved large sugar interest but IS represented by the island planters who fear the mpermanence of the reciprocity treaty and who seek therefore to the benefit of $Io a ton protection their sugar by annexation. The interest antagonistic to them is represented by the American producers of raw and beet sugars who have to pay their labor the white scale of wages while the Hawaiian planters pay the yellow scale of wages To the Hawaiian planter with cheap labor, protection of SIo ton $38 because his labor of production is only half the cost to the Ameri planter.
 The sweetening in the annexation issue is exclu- sively at the Hawaiian end Of it, and the attempt made to lure American planters and American labor by appeal to prejudice against the American sugar trust.

THE COMING CHAR MAYOR.

HERE seems to be general misapprehension
 on the part of the people and the politicians as
 to the time for taking effect of the new charter The idea which prevails is that the Mayor to be elected in November will in some way or another turn out the potentate created by the instrument Great preparations being made for the ensuing mayoralty campaign in consequence, and in all dis cusslonS which municipal politics the question who is who is not to be candidate for Mayor this year is uppermost
 As matter of fact however the new charter Mayor will not appear upon the until December 1890 The instrument will come before the Legislature in January next for ratification, and ratified 1t will go into effect for all purposes, except to the Mayors appointments immediately. A municipal election in 1899 IS provided for In that year the Board of Flee ton Commissioners elected in November next will carry registration and do all the things which they authorized to do by law At the election in November, I8oo all the officials to be chosen by the people under the charter will then be chosen but for the purpose of making the appointments con ferred upon the Mayor by the instrument and as to the qualifications of the persons appointed, the charter does not go into operation until the Ist day of December, I8oo
 The effect of this is to postpone the creation of a Lord Mayor until the second election Tn other words, the Mayor elected in November this year will under the consolidation act but one year. and the terms of all the officers chosen this year will be shortened-the four year officers by three years and the two year officers by year The Mayor chosen in 1898 will have nothing whatever to do under the new charter, The Mayor chosen in ISoo however will make his appointments in December of that year and with the officials so appointed enter upon the administration of the government on the 1st of January, 1900.
 Except stepping to greater powers, there fore the election of Mayor this year will be insg nihcant Perhaps the individual chosen may do something during his short term to improve his chances for the important office, but otherwise he will be simply Mayor under the consolidation act for year.

THE POLICE AND THE PooLRooMs

n the meeting of the directors of the Merchants / \ Association on Tuesday there read com munication from Chief of Police Lees inclos- ing reports from Captains Whitman and Spillane to the effect that no poorooms selling pools on racing exist in this city, they being situated at Oceansde, San Mateo County, and Sausalito, Marin County, where they have licenses and sell ing pools on Eastern races.
 The statements of the communication gratify- ing When The Call began its crusade against the poolrooms it met by the assertion that the law defective and that the police could not suppress the evil. When The Call by insstent urging induced the police to make an effort to suppress the rooms it was found that even where law good enough second objection presented itself. The juries would not convict On that ground the police again ceased to act, and once the crusade had to be under taken and fought from the start
 Each of the objections assigned by the police authorities for their failure put an end the traffic of the illicit poolrooms to certain extent valid The law is complex in its provisions that 1t is diff cult to obtain convictions under it. Also several ac- cused partes charged with violating the law quilted under circumstances which justified the fear that Police Court juries prejudced against 1t and would not bring in verdicts of conviction.
 Against all these obstacles however The Call was sangune that victory could be obtained if the fight kept up with vgor and treless persistence It be- the crusade and published the facts about the bedrooms It exposed the temptations the managers in such rooms put in the way of boys and of women The full extent of the scandal and the shame of the trade made known Then the Merchants Association joined with The Call and gave its potent help in the fight for law against the corrupt forces that defanty violated it without even pretense at concealment
 From the reports nclosed in the communication of the Chief of Police to the Merchants Association it appears that victory has been accomplished at last The law has been enforced and for the present at any rate 1t seems there poolrooms run openly in this city The illicit booksellers have removed to other counties, and it for the authorities of those localities to deal with them. Now it remains to be seen how long we keep the city free from the evil 1t has taken such long fight to suppress.
 The Merchants Association should not lose sight Of the subject that has helped to build up that resolute public opinion which has so effectively aided the police in maintaining the law. The booksellers will come back soon as they think the storm has blown Vigilance the part of the police and the Merchants Association we'll as on the part of The Call, is needed from this time on. We have cleaned the city Of the nearious traffic Let keep it clean

GRATEFUL NEBRASKA WOMEN

Editor San Francisco Call: Will you Kindly grant space in the columns of your paper to the members of c. c. Washburn Relief Corps No. 96 to express ever so faintly some of the gratitude we feel for the women of our sister State, to the Red Cross Society, the Kings Daughters, the Woman,s Relief Corps and whoever else It was that gave our boys, the First Reg fment of Nebraska Volunteers, such a glorious welcome? Especially are we in terested in Company M, for they are our boys, and when they left us heartbroken and in tears we felt desolate. But soon the loyal loving noble women of San Fran cisco showed us the boys belonged not only to us, but to their country as well. and gave them their welcome as the de- lenders of our national honor And such they are. Proudly they marched away at their country's call. Nobly will they de- fend its honor and will return to make it more holy because blood has been shed in a righteous cause and in defense of it's dear old flag. But ever in their hearts and ours that feeling of gratitude and love will remain because of the many deeds of loving kindness shown them by you. Accept the heartfelt thanks of our relief corps offered you In the spirit of fraternity, charity and loyalty, and may Gods best blessing rest on you and yours

hopeless, sulen struggle against certain defeat She possesses, however, just the kind of people who likely to make that kind of struggle Recognizing that her colonial possessions irretrevably lost, and that the chances of every battle will be against her. she is still capable of fighting for the mere grati cation of hatred until send fleet to her coasts and possibly until we land army on her soil
 If the descent upon the islands is made in force 1t safe say that from that time forward the will be carried with swift aggressiveness. The rainy season has begun in the West Indies and the hot summer is at hand It would never do to leave our soldiers lingering at this season either in Cuba in Porto Rico for any length of time. It would be an economy of life to make the fighting short and sharp and to assa the enemy in his lines rapidly as we could at them. It is this condition of affairs that makes the week critical and gives thrilling interest to every item of news from the front We are evidently the of battles and the decisive action of the war may occur at any time.

GIVING THE NEWS.

I N its career newspaper The Call has avoided
 the habit of boasting. Sometimes there has arisen necessity for exposing the idle claims of some socalled rival but ordinarily this paper prefers to go its way, letting the people judge it by its merits Now it feels that in all modesty and justice it may direct attention to itself
 Yesterday morning the papers of this city appeared with accounts of the battle of Manila. These ac- counts were not new. True, they were by eye-wit- nesses, but weeks ago The Call had published story by eyewitness, who had stood on the bridge of the Olympia with Dewey had taken notes during the hottest of the fighting and when the clouds of smoke lifted snapshots at the shifting scenes. The story had then been beautifully and artistcay set forth cabed to The Call, and was the first authentic account of the triumph of Dewey's fleet. The ac- count printed and appreciated. So decisive a journalistic victory 1t that yellow contemporary, rather than have nothing balance it, printed fake story made up from the vagrant notes of man who was there the correspondent of a Chicago daily, and on non-combatant ship
 Note the sequel Three men arrive in this port fresh from Manila Two of them have story to sell the old story, less well told than The Call had already told it. They open negotiations and of them is asked if during the fight he had observed correspondent named Stickney
 "Did 1 observe him?" he answers. ''The coolest
 
 We'll he is informed "Stickney was there for The Call"
 "Oh" he replies if you have Stickneys story there is nothing more tell you"
 So the other papers bought the peddled yarns, not having had the truth before, and The Call kept on about its business of presenting One of its anxious contemporaries devoted page to a voyage to Honoulu-a voyage neither more exciting nor un- usual than trip to Oakland-whle to the old familiar tale of Manila it gave pages. Yet neither of them published the important that there had been fight between the Spanish and the insurgents at the Philippine capital and that about the gates of the city the bodies of the dead were strewn Why did they overlook this
 The answer IS easy. They were ready to print such matter might be brought to them regardless of its age. They not willing to reach out after real news. They did not have correspondent Ion the spot- They content to print stale information and try to make the public think it new
 This Is only one of many instances in which The Call has had to blaze the way for its slower conem- poraries It does so willingly It does not begrudge them the honor of following good example But when they follow far in the rear and with bare of trumpets themselves at the head of the procession, conscience compels us to file demurrer They at end of the procession but it is not the head.
