THE ELECTION EXPENSES.
Big Saving to the State over Previ'
GUS Years.

The report of expenses incurred by the
State Board of Election Commissioners dur
ing the recent election shows that this fea-
ture of the work of the board has been
the subject of some effort in the way of
economy. In spite of the fact that there
were 40 more precincts in the State this
election than in 1896, the expense of con-
Quoting the election was nearly $4,000 less
than during the former election. In fact,
there has never been an election conducted
under the Australian ballot law in this
State at as low figure. This is the more
remarkable when it is considered that as
the ballots are paid for according to the
number of tickets on them, this year there
were five tickets to pay for, whereas at
any of the previous elections there were
only four. The prime reason Of the saving
was because of a pairing down of the print
ing contract, which is now as low as 1t will
ever be, in the opinion of both the MEM
bers of the board and printers who make
it a business to bid on big contracts.
In 1890, the first year under the Australian
ballot law, 100000 ballots were printed, be-
sides 1900 copies of the election laws, and
at that time the State had only 1000 pre-
cincts. The following election there were
fifty more precincts and an increase to l.
in 1894 to 100000. while the precincts in
creased to 300. In 1856 there were 1920 pre-
cincts, requiring the same number Of bal
lots, while this year there were 100000 bal
lots printed to supply $3.50 precincts. In
addition to this, during the last two cleo
tons the State furnished boxes and boxed
up the ballots for the counties, this having
never been done up to 1896
The following table shows the expense of
conducting the elections covering the period
in which the Australian ballot law has been
in operation, together with the saving made
during that period over the previous years:

Corporal r. II. Walker. of Company K

very peculiar experience had by him last
Sunday and Monday.
About two weeks ago one Of the men from
the Sixth Missouri deserted and it was
learned that he had been seen in the Ever
glades near Stewards. small station about
go miles south of this city AS soon as this
informa tion was secured, Corporal Walker
was detailed to go and arrest the man if
possible, and Saturday morning he started
on his mission. Arriving at Stewards late
in the afternoon. he secured a boat and
started into the Everglades in search of his
man.
About midnight the cabin where the de-
serter was supposed 10 be hiding was
reached, and II was found that in some man
ner he had heard of Walkers coming, and
upon the arrival of the corporal everything
his search and about daylight found him
self many miles into the heart of the Ever
glades. Just after dawn he met soldier;
who leveled a Springfield rifle at him and
demanded his business.
Il don't want you" said Walker II am

want the man connected with my regiment.

are not from here in a very few minutes

indeed you get out at all.
After a few minutes conversation Walker
succeeded in convincing the deserter that he
did not want him and would not take him
under any circumstances and they soon be-
came engaged in a friendly talk II was as
certained that he was from an Arkansas
regiment and had deserted about two
months ago. He beat his way over TO Tam

struck across country for the Everglades,
where he had been since Shortly after his
arrival two deserters from Louisiana regi-

The Advertiser ana the Publisher.


The relationship that the advertising
agent bears to his client the advertiser on
the one hand, and to his client the publisher
on the other, was discussed in most heroic
York recently. by Frank A. Munsey, the
well-known publisher of Munseys Maya
began with the proposition that the adVer
Using agent could not have two clients and
serve both of them with equal fidelity, when
one is the buyer and the other the seller or
the commodity involved in the transaction.
He concluded that the advertiser is the real
client, and that the agent is his trusted rep
resentatiVe and. as SUCH is entitled TO
proper remuneration for his service. 1t fol-
lowed Mr. Munsey held, that it was not the
obligation of the publisher to pay the agent
for services rendered to the advertiser.
Mr. Munsey said that the existing system.
by which the advertiser and the publisher
both paid the agent for his services, led to
immoral conditions and gave the owners
of 4 publication who was willing to resort
to undetermined methods to false statements
of circulation, ana 70 generous rebates,
commissions, and brides to the advertising
agents an undue advantage over the honest
publisher even of newspaper or magazine
of unouestioned circulation and power. No
one will deny that Mr.. Munsey presented
some powerful truths in his address. With
the courage that has marked his career as
a publisher he has followed his challenge
by the declaration that after the close Of
this year all commissions now paid by him
to advertising agents Will cease. Mr.. Mum
sey has no quarrel with any one. He con-
cedes that the services of the agent are in
dispensable but he insists that the adver
tiser who engages this service and not the
publisher should pay for it. 1t is great
thing to have convictions. 1t is greater
thing to have the courage to carry them
out. Mr.. Munsey has both. His convic-
tiOnS have usually been right, and expert
ence has been their best Vindcation. But
we are within reason when we say that he Is
about to put them to the seVerest test they
have ever experienced, and the journalistic
