VOTING NA,cH1NEs.

ICedar Rapids Republican,
County Auditor jackson was in the
city yesterday looking after some bust
ness matters. He said that the talk in
regard to the voting machines and the
probable test OF one Of them in Linn
county this fall had brought to light
the fact that relative Of Editor Bard
we'll, of the Marion Pilot, living down
east, was the inventor OF one OF these
machines. and that it was their inten-
ton to try and get 1t before the Iowa
commission.
Mr.. Jackson is of8the opinion that the
price OF these voting machines will
preclude their use in Linn county for a
number Of years. AT the present time
the voting machines sell for $500. At
this rate 1t would cost the county $4,000
to provide voting machines for the
city OF Cedar Rapids alone and nearly
$4,000 for the county. To be sure the
cost of election would be materially re-
Iduced by the use Of these machines, as
practically 1.-the judges and clerks Of
election would be cut off. The proba-
Hbilities are, however, that it will be but
la few years until the price Of the ma
chimes has been reduced sufficiently to
permit their general use.

~ The withdrawal OF Mr.. Cummins as
q candidate for the senate, announced
yesterday, has not created much sur
prise in political circles. The very gen-
Seral approval given by the press of the
state to the appointment OF Mr.. Dolliver
+ clearly foreshadowed the fact that re-
publicans turnout the state desired an
end OF strife within the party. Mr.. Cum
nins was supported in his contest
against Senator Gear by many OF the
strongest and most influential republi-
cans Of the sttae. His friends had be-
come very much attached to him, both
personally and politically, and the fidel-
lily with which his followers stood by
him is. in itself, a high tribute to him,
both asa candidate and as "a man.
He is everywhere recognized as one OF
the strongest men OF Iowa. His abili-
ties as a student of public affairs, as a
political orator, and as a lawyer have
given him an unquestioned rank turnout
the state. In his retirement from the
senatorial candidacy he takes with him
the respect Of his adversaries az well as
the affection of his friends.

OllETER. NJ
~ The outcome OF this state election 10
very cheering to the republican cause,
as will be noticed BY the following
from the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
which shows that when the republican
majority reaches certain proportions a.
national victory IS sure to follow The
Globe Democrat says:
For more than d third OF century
the election for governor OF Vermont
lin presidential years has been cons
|sidered by shrewd forecasters OF polit-
|reical tend denotes, democratic as well as
republican. as pointing out the way
in which the contest would go two
months later. Whenever the Vermont
republican lead in September OF the
years Of national contests goes below
$4,000 the outlook in the country at
large is unfavorable for the republican
party. Thus, when Fairbanks was
chosen in 1876 by $4,000 majority the
tendency of things all over the country
was seen to be rather adverse to the
Republicans. The party pulled UP,
however, and secured success. When
L in 1884, Pingree's majority in Vermont
for governor was down to $4,000 the re-
|publicans were naturally frightened,
and for good cause. as Blaine was beat
en- two months subsequently. The drop
was still greater in Vermont in 1892,
when Fuller,s lead was only 1900. That
slump registered the democratic tidal
wave which swept Cleveland into Office
eight weeks afterward.
Consequently when Circuit was elected
governor Of Vermont in September,
1896, by d ajority which reached all
most $4,000, and which far surpassed
Amy lead previously gained by re-
publican candidate for governor in that
state, wise Bryanites saw that their
battle was lost. That majority was far
lsabove the dead line Of 24s000, below
(which there is peril for! republicans In

ijority in Vermont in 1872 marked the
Republican avalanche which swept
Grant into Office. Farnham's lead of
almost the same figure in 1880 showed
that Garfield's election was extremely
Iprobable, ard Dillingham's $1,000
majority in 1859 indicated that
Cen. Harrison was going to be chosen.
lStickney's majority of over $4,000 on
Tuesday of this week shows that the
lre-election of President Mckinley is
certain. The Mckinley majority in
Vermont in 1896 was greater than that
given to circuit two months earlier. Nc
| hinley's lead in that statethis year will
exceed that rolled UP by stickney now.
The important point about this big re-
publican margin this week is the assrr-
ance which it gives that the republican

a TrpicaI AustrnIian Tribe.

Prof. Hadden read a paper on the
customs and characteristics of fairly
typical tribe of Australia, the Yari-
kama, of Cape York, North Queens
land. Among the peculiar customs
noted was that children must take the
"land" or country" of their mother.
that wife must be taken from another
country, and that all who belong to the
same place are regarded as brothers
and sisters. Six Yarikanna men were
measured, with average height five feet
four inches. A lad was initiated by the
men of the clan into which he must
subsequently marry. He was anointed
with "bush medicine" in the groin,
chest and temples TO make him grow.

THE BIBLE FOR STYLE.
Author of "cruise Of the CacheIot"
Tells Where He Learned
to Write.


Frank I. Bullen. whose stories of the
sea have won him great fame, never
had proper education. He was poor
boy, and his youth was spent in toll.
Asked to what source he owed his pow
er of writing, be answered.: 'sThe
source of my style as you are pleased
to term it, is the Bible. l began read
ing that earlier than can remember; /;
l am 43 years Of age, IS years of which
I spent at sea, climbing up from cabin
boy to chief mate, and I have read the
Bible through from cover to cover 25
times. You cannot quote me the first
half of any verse but what 1 will be
able to give you the second half. Moth
ing has taken hold of my heart and soul
like the Bible. used to preach in the
open air, and sometimes, when felt
I had no words of my own, would re-
cite whole chapter by memory from
Isaiah or Job or one of the Gospels.
The Bible and John Bunyon have really
formed my style. But then there's the
of the seal What colors in
sky and water! Dip your pen in those,
and you can't fail to be picturesque
and interesting"
