 The names upon the register not found in the poll books are 1,753; it is highly improbable that the poll clerks should have overlooked 36 per cent O1 the possible vo,ers.
 Ter per cent would be a high esti- mate to place upon the floating p0pu- lation" entitled to vote, and any such exodus would be apparent. Admitting however, that so large a percentaga absented from the polls ft would leave nearly 900, CT upwards Of 25 per cent of the registry unaccounted for.
 These facts emphasize the import ance of an immediate revision of pres ent registry laws and system.
 The largest precinct in the county does not show 350 votes. Ten days would be ample time for that number to register.

 If competent official of the coun y is made registry officer such fragrant errors would not be possible. / Ire sponsible, itiEerant registry officers, whose emolument the 20-cent fee, furnishes the incentive that results in this unreliable register.
 There are also other details which are essential as safeguards. Every voter should give his name in full and not use his initials only, as is largely done; then his residence should be specifically stated; if there is no house number, when within corporate limits, then give the lot and block number, while in the rural districts the section and portion of section whereOn voter resides would reliably locate him and thus protect against colonization and kindred fraud
 Strict alphabetical alignment should be required in the printing Of tha register, rendering ready reference, which is essential for prompt voting in the larger precincts.
 Upwards of two hundred typograph ical errors appear in the book, which makes it unreliable to check off pre- cinct voting, Illustrating the necessity of con1fning voters to their own pre- cincts to insure reliable results.
 The total enumeration after a careful recheckiLg of the duplicate poll books with each ether and estimating the du,- plicates arising from ill-defined boun- daries is 3,034; names upon the register not on poll books, 1,753; total, 4,7S7-

land the best Of the new gospel songs
 which have become popular within the
 past few years. The Moody and San
 key meetings in America and in Eng land marked a musical renaissance, the
 beginning of the gospel song period.
 Book after book was issued by puh- fishers whose name was legion, and | the flood of new songs and new music seemed to be crowding out the old. Many Of the hymns by such writers as HOratius Bonar, Fanny Crosby and their fellow singers, were of real lit erary merit, much of the music by Bliss, Sankey, TOlwner, Bilhorn, S;eb- bins and other skillful composers was worthy to live, but many of the at tempted hymns Ware mere dOggerel, and some of the so-called musical com posters had no music in them. Many of the later books were evidently made to sell, and have only added to the misery of a tOo long suffering public. but not few of the gospel songs used | by evangelis,s like Moody and Sankey will live as worthy companions of the old standard hymns of Watts, Wesley, l TopIady, Ray Palmer and s. F. Smith The old hymns ard the new, the best of both, are found in the book now used in the Moody meetings, and the collec- tiOn is large enough, and the range of hymn topics is wide enough, to supply the needs of a congregation or Sunday School for a long time. The book be- gins with Nicea, Holy, Holy. Holy, closes with God Be With You Till We Meet Again." and coritains 367 hymns, and every one, old and new, is a gem. L. HALSEY.

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir: It has been the lot of the writer to examine a great many singing books, including the latest, most ex- tensive and most expensive as well as the more modest, but equally meritori- ouS collections. Among them all the new book used by Mr Moody and Mr.
 Towner stands pre-eminent. Many gospel hymn books are net happily named, the contents do not correspond to the title. This one. called Church Hymns and Gospel Songs" is just what it purp0rts to be, containing the majority of the old standard hymns

 about.
 And the rotten ties fly up behind it. The stock that is shipped on this wonderful
 line;
 Say, shipper, you'll lose half your cattle; And your hogs will most surely be broke in
 the spine,
 For they can't stand the jolt and the rattle. You can find a flat wheel upon every caboose i; For miles you can hear them go chucking. The ties are all rotten, the rails are all loose; And they keep up terrible clucking, The agents are kept in a hand-car house; They work them all day and all night, sir; And the salary they get wouldn't foster a mousse
 It is so durned, internally light, sir. There are weeds on the right-ofway high as
 your head
 The spikes in the ties are half broken, one journey half done and you'll think what
