VOTING BY MACHINES.

The people Of Rochester, n. Y,
cast their ballots by machinery on
November sth. The machine is q
SUCCESS. BY it a person can vote
a mixed ticket or straight tick
ct. But one candidate for n GER
tain Office can be voted for. A
blind man can vote by means Of
this machine. Only the number
of votes cast can be told until
after tho voting closes. But with
in 81 minntes nfter the polls closed
The entire vote of the city had been
reported to headquarters. All the
judges have to do is TO check up
the votes us merchant does his
cash register
With these machines in general
use, The entire vote of the United
States at any election could be nn-
nonnccd within one hour after the
closing of the polls if the telegraph
companies could handle the bust
ness in that time. No fraud in the
count can occur where this ma
chine is used. .-Ex.

Worcester morning daily spy. (Worcester, Mass.) 1888-1898, 1898-01-02

Whether the wild and hilarious scenes
with the new year of the long-awaited
greater metropolis were omens of hap
Ply future for Gotham prophets, is a
question which practical prophets may
discuss from their varying standpoints.
Whatever the greater metropolis may
be in the future it has achieved nothing
in the past for which it may thank Tam
many Hall, and few would be SO rash
as to assert that Tammany's return to
power in 1898 is for the interests of a
city which has already suffered so much
damage materially and in reputation
from that organization.
Yet it was the rebirth of Tammany as
much as anything else which was cele-
brated- in New York Friday night. On
the other nand, Brooklyn's observance
Of her demise as a separate municipal
ity was grave and even solemn, in COM
parison with the joyousness which
reigned at the same time in the neigh
boring borough. Perhaps 1t was tinged
with the spirit of foreboding. AT any
rate, Greater New York would better
wait until the Tammany mayors term
of office comes to an end before its cit
liens indulge in too roseate dreams of
the future. Perhaps they will have
enough of Tammany by that time, and
consider one term enough for a candi-
date of that organization's selection.
Worcester morning daily spy. (Worcester, Mass.) 1888-1898, 1898-01-02

According to the reports, the first
woman who has applied for admission
to the Worcester county bar was not
admitted, largely on account of the OPP
position of persons of her own sex living
in the same place. Nevertheless. she
was technically qualified to begin legal
practice. But all her preparation for
her chosen work was to no avail, for
in her case, it appears that general per-
sonal objections were raised by people
who were evidently unable to make
any direct charges against her charac-
ter.
The character of the young woman in
question has not been shown to be in
any way objectionable. On the con-
trary, she is said to be bright and
agreeable and laudibly ambitious. Why
should the personal test of fitness to
practice law be made more difficult in
the case of a woman than in that of
man? Neither would the court stay pro-
ceedings in the case of a young man
seeking admission to the bar because of
a telephone message which, in this case,
seems to have been in the nature of a
forgery There is apparently a need of
closer study of the golden rule in some
parts of Fitchburg as well as elsewhere.
The state examiners ought promptly to
correct the injustice which has been
attempted
Worcester morning daily spy. (Worcester, Mass.) 1888-1898, 1898-01-02

The carpers at the present tariff
should read and weigh carefully the
facts and figures presented in the state
ment by Mr.. Dingley, which was pub
lished in the Spy Of Saturday. They
will observe therefrom that it is not a.
tariff for deficit, but-what it was ad-
vertised to be at the very start-a tariff
for revenue. Since the end of August
when the bad effects of the spring and
summer importations in authorization of
the new tariff began to be remedied by
the operation of the new law-the reve-
nue. from customs has steadily increased
month by month.
The customs receipts during the past
month of December were 81, $50, 900, or
larger than customs receipts during any
December OF the last five years, with one
exception. And this constant monthly
increase, says Mr.. Dingley, "wilI go on
as the goods imported in anticipation of
the new tariff are consumed" That is
to say, this increase will be largely due
to the fact that the loss of revenue from
anticipatory importations is 1essening
all the time.
The increase in treasury receipts, too
has been keeping pace with the customs
revenue. Hence there is excellent rea-
son for the belief that under existing
laws, the revenues Of the next fiscal
year will equal or exceed the expendi-
lures. if the latter are kept within rea-
sonable bounds" AS for emergency ex-
penditures, which would, of course, seri-
ously affect the promise of a treasury
surplus. Mr.. Dingley says:
1--WE know where to get S25, 900 900 or
100000 Of revenue at any time if the
necessity arises, and there is no reason
to doubt that the needful legislation
could be promptly enacted if an emer-
gency should demand it. However,
there is nothing to indicate now that
such legislation will be necessary. On
the contrary, everything promises a pc
Rod of rest from the agitation which
always attends a change or proposed
change of the revenue laws"

THE BLACK CAP.

(F'rom the Gentlemans Magazine)
There is one particular part of the
dress belonging to the order of the Golf
the black cap-which the judges in
England always put over their wigs
when passing sentence of death. Little
is known concerning this black cap, and
many mistakes have been made about
it. Mr.. SERGEANT Pulling, in his work,
1.-THE order of TIE coif." previously re-
ferred to, says: "The black cap, or SEN
tence cap, of the judges and serjeants
is certainly not the Golf, as Lord Camp
bell repeatedly states. 1t is, on the con-
trary, the covering expressly assigned
to veil the Golf, on the only occasion
when the Golf was required to be hid
den By the ancient privileges of the
serjeants, the Golf was not to be taken
off even IN the royal presence The
chief insignia of the order was to be
so displayed when sitting on the bench
or pleading at the bar but this rule
seems always to have been departed
from in passing sentence of death.
'"rhe head of the administrator of
justice was then covered as a token of
sorrow, by the black sentence cap. This
cornered cap, black cap or sentence
cap, as it is sometimes termed, is a
piece of limp black cloth, which is put
on the top of the wig. The cap is rarely
put on, except when prisoner has been
convicted Of murder, and then the
judge places the cap on the top of his
wig and passes sentence of death"
When the judges sit in the criminal
courts and when attending church in
state, they always carry the black cap
in their hands as part of their regu-
Tar judicial attire. The black cap is
also worn by the judges on the day
when the new lord mayor goes in state
to the royal courts Of justice to be
sworn in.
