VOTING BY MACHINERY.

D Y the report of W. NJ Hinton, C, B. Morgan n and J. V, Webster, members of the State Com a-> mission appointed in 1897 for the purpose of examining, testing and investigating voting machines the question of adopting some form of mechanical ballotng will be brought before the coming session of the Legislature and it possible that action nav result from it
 The report gives evidence of a careful and extsn- sive investigation A considerable narnber of ma chimes were submitted for examination and 1t is no table that large proportion of them were by Cali fornia inventors The machines reported upon are those of C. 1. Sturges, J G Sweeney, ! B. Terill Henry H. Niebur, F. X. St. Louis, Henry Weber $. A Canrine J. C. Garrett, H. A Clifford, Christ Christensen, the Ellis Ballot Machine Company and the California Voting Machine Company, all of this State; and the American Ballot Company of Masss ehasetts; the United States Ballot Box Illinois the National Voting Machine and the Standard Notine Machine of New York
 A statement of the principles upon which the va- rious machines are constructed is given. The Com. mssioners says Tt has been our purpose in exarnn ing machines study the principles rather than the execution of the devices as most of the machines presented have been iperfeetty constructed" It is added that in the machines manufactured for use ''naRy existing and minor faults could and would be corrected but that of the handmade machines sub mitted for examination only three were made upon scale to admit of practical tests"
 It appears that but two of the inventions submitted to the commission were factory made, These were

BAILEY MEETS HIS FOES.

E u the splutter and the roar of those factions { \ in the Democratic party opposed to the leader ship of Bailey of Texas have come to nothing. Mir Bailey has met them in the Democratic Congress sional caucus and they his Upon test question the vote stood sxy-wo Baileyites and thirteen of the opposition.
 When the next Congress meets there possibly may be better showing made by the opponents of the young from Texas, but the complete collapse of the fight against him n this Congress does not prom ise much It looks as if the baby as they call him, will remain Democratic leader of the House as long as he remains in that branch of the Government The only way his foes get lid of him is to elect him Governor of Texas join with his friends and send him to the Senate.
 The fight against Bailey was made partly by the gold men who are opposed to his free silver policy, but manly by the annexationists, whose ngo iu1- peTiasm he has denounced If the two factions could have combined upon leader they might have made stronger fight, but an agreement between them seems to have been impossible, They went into the like lambs the slaughter and one of their number raised the test question that resulted in their defeat
 The outcome is only another proof that the noisest factions in American politics are not the strongest The clan1ors of the foes of Bailey were heard from side of the continent to the other iaey were uttered rom newspapers on the Atlantic coast and repeated by newspapers on the Pacific Coast. They were heard in the South as well as in the North. They seem, however to have represented no political force whatever Their full strength in the House could poll only an unlueky thirteen votes.
 AS Mir Bailey remarked after the contest was over ''1t must be plain to all thinking raen that the stories of serious divisions in the Democratic party the inventions Of few sensational newspaoers And thus does the Examiner get another black eve for trying to be too bossy in the house of its friends

GENERAL ALGER'S REPORT.

C ENERAL iALGERS report on the admnis- T traton of the War Department makes oc-
 \> volume of 23f pages but less than eighteen pages occupied by the statements of the Secretary himself the rest being taken up by reports from various officers and by documents relating to the war and the general business of the department
 Not line ill the report of the Secretary refers to the charges made against the department He evil deny believes the record of the war is itself sufficient to disprove them, and that they deserve from him recognition whatever. In this the public will agree with him, for the swift success of arms is proof that the was carried on with energy and skill.
 General Alger says; "An army of about 2so,ooo volunteers and recruits for the regulars was called into existence from civil lfe which with the regular army, made total force of 274717 men. It eanized, armed and equipped (no supplies being on hand other than those for the regulars Spring field muskets), and soooo men of this force were transported by land and to batte-heds in the tropics I2ooo miles apart, where they their vic tories without a single defeat and all within the pc rod of 1I3 days from the declaration of war to the signing of the protocol"
 Concerning the mortality in the ranks, of which SO much made by the sensational press, the Secre tsry says: "The deaths in the army from May to October l. including killed, died of wounds and of disease 2oro. the smallest death recorded of III hlStOIy, Wnen II lS considered that soooo of our troops, born and , reared in the temperate zone, campaigning in tropical climates, subject to rain and heat almost preeedented"
 No feature of the report is likely to give rise to more discussion than the recommendation of the Secretary to the best of providing relief for the Cubans, who in urgent need of it He points ort that the people need employment well food and to supply both he suggests that t would be wise economy the part of the Government of the United States to construct substantial railway the whole length of the island of Cuba with branch roads the leading cities on the coast.
 Such road" says the Secretary, would cost a large sum, perhaps $2oooo ooo but 1t would give poyrnent to the people of Cuba, teach them habits of industry be nducement for them to cultivate their farms and thus furnish supplies for the laborers and for market when the road is constructed This, in my judgment is absolutely essential the pacihca- ton and development of that great island It will bring it's minerals, lumber and agricultural products to market and open up communication with all parts of the island with the least possible delay, The road would be good property and when 1t had served it's purpose for the Government could be sold for its cost If such improvement is not made the Government will doubt expend fully that amount in charity"
 The recommendation is well worth the considera- ton of Congress If we are to hold the island and become responsible for the well being of the people the sooner we set them to work the better.

the Standard" or the Gillespie patent, and the American Ballot Company" the McTammany patent. As consequence the commission IS not able to report upon the cost of the machines except the two named It is stated however that the price for factory-made machines would doubtless range from $25o to $500.
 In conclusion the commission says By the use of the machines the cost of conducting an election would be reduced by the expense for ballots and the lessened number of election officers employed. Doubtless it would prove advisable retain an in- spector judge, two register clerks and two poll list clerks. As their services would be required for only
 short time after the close of the polls reduction in the amount now paid them could be made-thus in San Francisco where twelve election officers em- poyed in each precinct at cost of SIo each, the
 ngs in expenses for officers ballots, tally sheets etc.
 would cover the cost of the machines. The moral gain in the avoidance of mistakes and the tanty of the count would prove of nestimable value and would far outweigh all minor considerations"

after that he had tumbled, ''mayhap I am soft thing, for one who deals with rogues must needs pect gold bricks. Yet wist ye not that the worm will turn betimes. Behold me in the act of turn ing. Wough." And the lament of him filled the land with an uproar.
 Having at divers times occupied a cell, restraining him of his liberty, an evil-doer made escape and gathered him together a great fortune, even many shekels of fine gold, and houses and lands and raiment. Then were his sins forgiven. for the people said: Be hold, the man has waxed rich. How can there be guile in hin?" while such among them as had not been per suaded held their peace But in the fullness of time the evil-doer besought that they send him to the Senate, whereupon those who had been silent vouchsafed demur. 'verily," they de- clared." the man is rotten, and the de- cay Of him smiteth the nostril even as the fish long dead. We will have none of him. Too, his ignorance is mighty, so that he said of the Ostend manifesto that he deemed it a new brand of liquor, the which he had not yet tried"
 But" pleaded the candidate, while it is true that have no reputation, this is manifest advantage, for had I one now where would it be at the end of the voting?"
 However, despite the force of his logic, was he trun down, whereat was rejoicing exceeding great.
 
 In the Southland uprose one of hon. ored name, declaring that toga would oefit him What have you done?" they asked him .'I have had 8 father" he responded confidently, and the point was deemed so well taken that other aspirants were observed straightway to get mighty move on.
