but they gained twelve Congressional
districts. At Bryan's suggestion, the
free silver managers in Washington
sent emissaries to New Jersey. to i'm
press upon the Democrats, in State con-
vention assembled, the Importance Of
pushing the silver issue to the front.
The convention did SO, and the party
went down to deserved defeat. losing
the Legislature and a United States
Senator by their folly.
In Ohio the Democrats reiterated
their belief in the Chicago platform and
in Bryanism. The State elected fifteen
Republican and six Democratic Con-
gressmen, exactly as 1t did in 1896. but
it increased the Republican majority
on the State ticket even above the phe-
nomenal one which President Mckinley
then received. The Indiana Democrats
insisted upon indorsing free silver and
Bryan, and by so doing lost their State
ticket, and control of the Legislature.
This latter loss will retire Senator
Turpie, and send a good sound money
Republican to succeed him. All over
the West the parties were divided on
to free silver, and made their campaign
on it. Everything there were heavy
Republican gains, and the Congress
ional districts thus won by the Repub-
licans saved their party majority in
the House, imperiled by the losses in
New York and other Eastern States,
where the money question was kept in
abeyance

VOTING MACHINES.

A partial publication of the report
of the Voting Machine Commission has
been made public. Tt is confined to de-
scription of types Of machines, and is
favorable to those which do not lock
each key as the elector votes, because
correction Of mistakes can then be
made without danger Of repeating.
The ideal machine, say the Commis-
sioners, is one that will not permit the
voter to repeat his ballot casting, nor
be subject to fraudulent manipulation
by him, nor by the person having
charge of the machine before it is set
up in the booth. The commission be-
lieves in that type of machines which
lock with the passage in or out of the
booth by the voter. Whatever machine
is adopted the advice is that provision
be made for expert examination of
each machine before it is accepted, and
of close and circumspect inspection Of
ficially before the machine is placed in
a booth for use, and in doing so that
each machine be tested by false ticket
just before actual use.
The commission does not make it
public if it has decided upon any par
ticular machine as preferable to adopt.
But the fact that it treats of the sever
al orders of machines, indicates that its
mind is made up in favor of introduc-
ing the automatic system. 1t must
therefore be assumed that it has ex-
amined all the machines in the market.
Also, unless the commission was fa-
vorable to introduction of the machine
method, it would have shortly and
sharply reported against all machines,
and not have stopped to indicate
preference for particular type of
device.

Cuhan Sweets.

The Cubans are exceedingly fond of
sweets, and as their country is par
excellence the land Of sugar and of
fruit, they have taken advantage of
these natural resources, and devised an
endless, variety of dulces. or sweet
meats.
These are eaten at every meal. as
well as in the afternoon. The torrid
heat makes it necessary to rest and
partake of some refreshment at about
8 o'clock, so at this hour cooling bev-
erage called refresco, accompanied by
fruit and sweets. is served
Candy, as the Americans understand
the term, is not made to any extent
To be sure there are few confection-
ers' shops in Havana, where may be
found caramels and sugared almonds,
but the box of bonbons, which is the
delight of the American girls heart, is
scarcely known in Cuba.
The dulces correspond more properly
to our desserts, and are divided into
two classes-dry dulces, comprising
candied fruits, cakes and fruit pastes,
and those in syrup.
The preserves, made from the lus-
cious tropical fruits, are fine; then
there are the conserves, or fruit pastes,
the most familiar to us being that
which is made from guava. This is
popular, and is the cheapest dulce in
Cuba.
The preparation Of these sugar plums
is complicated affair, so much so that
every we'll appointed household has
among it's servants a dulcero, whose
sole office is to make these dainties for
the family. Many of them are too
sweet for the American palate. but
there are others which will find favor
with our countrymen and hold a prom
inent place on our tables.

The State Dairy Bureau has issued
ture in pamphlet form. This is done,
1t says, at the personal expense of the
members and attaches Of the bureau.
They considered their report SO import
ant that it should be made widely
public, but, they add, the failure of the
Governor to approve the appropriation
for the State Printing Office made it
impossible for the bureau to secure
the printing of its report for use by
the Legislature and reading by the peo-
pie, except at the personal expense of
the members of the bureau and their
employees.
Here, then. is economy with a ven
geance. The people are not relieved
from the tax necessary for the support
of the printing Office. for that was
levied and collected, but it lies in the
treasury idle, though it will be proudly
pointed out as money saved. The un-
salaried members of the Dairy Bureau,
however, have to go down into their
pockets to do that which the State
ought to do and intended should be
done.
1t is humiliating to every right think
ing citizen to reflect that his State is
placed in such an attitude, and that
most official reports printed in advance
of the meeting of the Legislature must
be so issued at the cost of private
funds, while the money the people have
paid into the treasury for that Identical
work lies unavailable in the treasury.

There is very good reason for draw
message that he does not intend to
permit the Philippine governmental
question to come before the present
Congress. He probably thinks that this
Congress will have enough to do to
take care of matters relating to Cuba
and Porto Rico, and that his policy will
receive more kindly consideration from
the new than the present Senate. In
that judgment we believe the President
Is justified.

with the Presidents advice that they
have serious attention. The Red Cross
Society is thanked heartily and grace
fully, and the relations it has inter-
nationally are referred to.
The President strongly approves the
recommendations of the Secretary or
the Navy for the construction of addi-
tional ships, and that the grades of
porarily revived, to be filled by officers
who conspicuously distinguished them
selves in the late war. The facts as
expressed in totals concerning the PEN
sion roll and the public lands are set
out; the Bureau Of American Republics
is warmly approved, and the publica-
tions of that service commended. This
is in the face of some recent violent
attacks upon the bureau as an institu-
ton of large cost and small benefit,
which allegations the statements OF
the President refute.
He advises Congress to approve and
aid the movement to celebrate appro-
priately next year the centennial ami
versary of the founding of the National
Capital at Washington. He reports
that he has responded to the Czar or
Russia's proposition for reduction OF
the armed forces of the world in
cordial and approving manner With
a few other suggestions concerning
matters for the action of Congress the
message concludes.

one point touch upon an issue that
