Hail. Holy Queen-'
A CHRISTMAS GATHERING.

The Christmas time has come. again. the
gladstone Christmas time:
The eVergreens are berried bright, the
boughs are bright with rhine;
From every steeple far and near the
joY-bells peaiing ring
The voice Of mans good win to man
speaks forth in everything.
Warm glow the lights by cottage hearth
in lardlN mansion high
And many tale of love IS told meath
frosty starlit sky,
As merrily the sleigh bells ring and sill
very laughter sweet
Blends with the cTunching of the snow
beneath the ponies feet.
Hark. strains of joyous music come from
yonder crowded hail,
And sounds of mirth and twirling feet
proclaim the Christmas bali;
And glowing cheeks and cleaning gems
and brighter eyes are there
ne tones Of manhood childhood's grace
and maiden's bushes fair
".
The mistletoe hangs coy aloft, its polish'd
Mixd with the laurel and the bay and
scarlet berries bright
OF glistening holly, whilst the yew peeps
graceful from beneath
The glowing mass and over all is twined
the ivy wreath.
The little ten-year cavalier assumes a
mannish air.
The six-year flirt throws, conscious, back
her wealth of golden hair:
a ripper beauty sheds her smiles a white
hard knight upon
Whilst younger manhood. envying. turns
and looks half jealous on.

TRIGG'S PROPOSITION,

If one may Judge by the cruiser bids
rendered to the Navy Department by
the Trigg Company, Of Richmond, it's
quite certain that the Capital City ship
builders are in earnest in their desire
to assist in building up the new navy.
Their offer to build two nineteen knot
boats, in accordance with original plans
of their own, we'll under the figures al
lowed by Congress should receive the
careful consideration Of the Bureau CT
Construction. If the extra two and a
half knots can be secured without
weakening the vessels either Structural
~ or in armament, the proposition
should be received without O moments
hesitation.
The weakest point in the plans pro-
posed by the Navy Department is the
slow speed of the ships. With battle
ships running eighteen and twenty
knots an hour, it seems like folly to
build cruisers with a speed nearly one
fifth less. The peace work cut out for
the new warships might be done just
as we'll by gunboats, which are much
less costly than the proposed cruisers
and in which the draft may be made
lighter.
rs;en nineteen knots would be two
knots too slow for the best results, but
lit must be confessed that it Is much
better than the battleshp speed pro-
posed by the government officials. In
a case of extremity, the cruisers should
have the ability to run away from at
least a few of the foreign batteships.
The T,rigg Company is no doubt respon-
sible and can carry out any guarantee
they see fit to offer. Therefore, We
think the government would act wisely
in giving them cart blanche to go ahead
with the plans proposed and, if they
are satisfactory. nineteen knot ships
should be ordered.

We note with interest the following
description of q voting machine which
is to be tested at Buffalo, N. y:
''The machine registers each ballot
adds the number cast for every ticket
or candidate and computes the totals.
THE method Of>operating the machine
is very simple "A voter has only to JUS
tify his right to vote. "A knob placed
at the top of the vertical columns on
the fase of the unachne does the rest.
no vote a split ticket voter must
push button placed opposite the name
of each favored candidate and pull the
knob at the top Of the columns IN which
they appear The name indicated is
registered, but all the other candidates
appearing in the columns are scratch
cd TO vote a party ticket without
scratches the voter must push the knob
at the head oil the column. A voter
cannot vote for more than one candl-
tTate for the same office. All the candl-
dates for the office are arranged on one
line. and as soon as he has voted Tor
one of them the others on the line are
locked The machine is inclosed IN
booth and each voter enters alone,
presses the knob and the machine does
the rest. 1t Is claimed that the adop-
tion of the Hamilton machine will ma
teriallly lessen the cost Of elections.
From time TO time we have noticed
Tong articles in reference to the various
voting machines invented from time to
time, but for some reason or other Vot-
ing by this method does not seem pop
ular. In any event, the machines have
not sprung into popular use all over the
country. Considering the remarkable
results attained by machinery In the
other relations of life 1t Is not at all un-
reasonable to believe that one might be
perfected which would correctly regis
ter the will of the voters. If there We're
an overwhelming desire for an abso-
lutely fair vote and honest count, it
could no doubt be secured without re-
sorting to expensive and intricate ma
chinery. The trouble is people are not
especially anxious for honest elections
or else have so little personal interest
in the matter that they do not pretend
to enforce their demands. AS soon rs
the sentiment in favor of absolute fair
ness and honesty in political affairs
reaches such proportions as to make
the use eff voting machinery general It
will no doubt be possible to sccure the
desired reforms without the assistance
OF the machines.

According to a report from Washing

outlanders Fear a Massacre.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-No confirmation
is obtainable from any source of the re-
port contained in a dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company that the
Beers have captured Dundee. No ex-,
ceptional activity was shown at the
government offices today. General Sir
Redvers Butler cabled at the war Office
and special board meeting was held.
Naturally nothing Of the discussion
was made public, but it is understood
that General Sir Redvers Butler will
not proceed for the Cape until next
week, except in case of unforeseen de-
velopments. Many members Of parlia;s
ment are returning to town in anticipa-
ton of an early sumnoning Of the
houses of parliament. It is the gen
eral impression that although some
speakers may express disapproval OF
the government policy few will
go to the extreme of voting against
the required credit. It is considered
more probable that they will abstain
from participating in a division. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal
leader, having in speech at Trexegar
said: ssThe first and last words of these
gold hunters is war, in order to lead to
annexation," correspondent wrote
| to Lord Salisbury asking if it were not
| true that the government would make
\ every effort to avert war and had no de.
sire to annex the Transvaal if settle.

of the British residents in Johannes
burg they must be in an awful funk
The writer says: "If it comes to {

Reports from various arsenals ant

parations. The reserves have receives

YACHTS READY TO SAIL.
Columbia and Shamrock viii Start first
Race of Series Today.

Columbia and Shamrock Will Start First
Race of Series Today.
New YORK, Oct. 3.e-The Columbia
Shamrock races will be witnessed by a
throng vastly larger than that which
has attended previous contests for the
famous cup, and yet the races will have
a clean ground, owing to federal super
vision of the courses. Yachtsmen are
here from all parts Of the United States.
The feet of private pleasure yachts
now in these waters is larger than ever
known.
There is not the slightest doubt that
three times as many people will see the
contest between Columbia and Sham
rock as ever before saw an international
yacht race. The English visitors who
have come are far greater in number
and more distinguished than ever came
for that purpose before. Nearly all the
guests of Sir Thomas Upton on board
the Erin will be from England, the
best known of whom is Lord Charles
Beresford.
Friends of Sir Thomas say that he
really expects to take the cup back to
English waters and that the prelimi-
nary work Of the two boats has added
to his confidence as to the result.
One of the greatest surprises fol
yachtsmen. since the arrival of the
Shamrock in these waters was the an
nouncement, officially made, that the
| Columbia would have to allow the
Shamrock 3-100 seconds on a 30-nile
course. 1t appears that Designer Fife
while giving the Shamrock larger sal
plan than the Columbia has at the same
time so constructed her hull as to Civ
her great free board, less displacement
and consequently shorter water lin
by almost two feet.
