VOTING BY MAIL.
In the Atlantic Monthly for October
Edward Stanwood urges the desirabity
of Improving the present system of cleo
tons by permitting voters who are so
inclined to send their ballots by mail in
stead of requiring their actual presence
at the polls at fixed time.
There is no good reason, he argues,
why citizen who is sick at home, or is
obliged to be out of town by reason of
pressing business should pay the penalty
for his illness or his business preOccupa-
tlon by disfranchisement. The men who
are liable to be kept from the polls by
such causes are, in many instances. pre-
cisely the kind of men whose political
action is unselfish and highminded, and
whose votes 1t is therefore peculiarly de-
sirable to have recorded.
Mr.. Stanu ood's plan is to have ballot
sent to every registered voter prior to an
election marked to express his choice of
candidates. The voter who had mailed
his ballot would still be at liberty to
vote at the polls, if he chose, in which
case, of course, the ballot sent by mail
would be invalidated. The election
officers would count, Of the ballots re.
ceived by mail, only those which came
from voters who were not recorded a.
having voted in person. After the cleo
ton, as protection against fraud, every
voter whose ballot by mail had beer
counted would be notified by postal card
III there had been any trickery or forging
of signatures, 1t would thus be disclosed
and the ballots being preserved mean
while, it would be possible to trace 1t.
This is an expansion and an application
to all elections of a plan for voting Al
town meetings, which Mr.. StanwooC
formulated some time ago, and which
was under discussion when a change wa:
agitated in Brookline. Mr.. Stanwoot
considers the objections which are likely
to be urged against his schemes, as tina
1t involves a radical change in the exist
ing system, that it would destroy thu
secrecy of the ballot, that it would in
creace the danger of fraud by the per
sonation of voters, and that 1t would
augment the power of the bosses and thu
danger of bribery. This last he regards
as the only serious objection.
He admits that he sees no sufficient
safeguard against it, but he reasons tina
1t does not follow that no safeguard cal
be found; and there will be many anon,
those who appreciate and deplore tn
defects of the present system who will
agree " it'll him that 1t is worth while t
seek remedy for them.-Boston Jour
nal.

Total yearly cost of system...... S},i0l 90
Mr.. Fuller's estimate upon the prob
able cost of laying the pipe was made
with the assumption that it would be
covered four feet deep. If this depth Is
not chosen the cost of laying Will be
somewhat reduced.
Your committee in closing its report
would make the following recommends
tons:
First. That the village obtain its sup
ply of water from the brooks at Little
Notch, above Lathrop's mill. the intake
being so constructed as to take the water
from the so-called Lathrop spring, and
if found necessary, to take additional
water from the southeast brook.
Second. That G-inch pipe be laid
from the intake above Lsthrop's mill,
by the best route that can he selected,
to a reservoir situated upon Chapman
Hill.
Third. That such reservoir be built
upon Chapman Hill with capacity of
800, 900 gallons, at a height sufficient
to give pressure at the present pumps
of l25 lbs. per So. inch.
nected by a l0-inch pipe with the pres
ent nam near the town hall, and the
necessary provision be made for tax.
ing care of the overflow from the reser-
yoir.
Fifth. That this construction be done
not by contract but by the village, as
has been the case in the sewer construc-
ton during the past two years. In this
way we will have the most satisfactory
work at the least cost, and the money
expended will be for the benefit of our
own citizens.
Sixth. That the laying of the pipe
from the base of Chapman hill to the
foot of the mountain be done as soon as
possible, since the land damages involved
will most likely be less at this time of
the year than If the fields are dug up in
the spring.
Seventh. That the village issue bonds
at per cent to the amount of $50, 900 or
such part thereof as shall be necessary to
pay for the installation of this system of
water supply.

A RELIC OF EARLY DAYS.
James II. Lynch Has a Due Bill Signed
by Governor Meagher.

James H. Lynch who returned from
Virginia City, Mont, Saturday, brought
with him an interesting relic of early
days in Montana in the shape of a due
bill given a merchant of Virginia City
by Acting Governor Thomas Francis
Meagher.
During the early part of 1866 there
were frequent rumors of an Indian raid
on Virginia City. The Nez Perez In
dams were on the warpath and the SOL
diers at Fort U. s.. Smith had warned
the argonauts to prepare for a raid. The
citizens of Virginia City Immediately be-
gan to make preparations by forming a
company. To outfit them, however, was
a question.
After a consultation with Governor
Meigher the merchants furnished the
necessary equipment and accepted due
bills on the state. The one in the possess
sion of Mr.. Lynch was presented to him
by Major A.. j. Bennett of Virginia City
and reads as follows:
$6S2. IT,
Due John S. Rockfellow or order, for
value received, payable on demand, the
sum of Six Hundred and Eighty-Two
Dollars and u cents in treasury notes.

mere ~''coloring natter was re-

other mere 'coloring matter" was re-
ceived as evidence.
In the report made for the committee
there are several curious statments of a
part of the evidence as to the thing
stated. For example. it is stated that
Senate Clark. in June. 1899, destroyed
the checks which he had drawn or his
bank. Blu the report fails to state that
Tor years past 1t was his habit to destroy
his checks when his account was rem
dered by the bank and examined. And
the report failed to state hat the COM
mittee had the bank account Of Mr..
Clark during all the time in which it was
charged that money had been illegally
used.
And there is another feature of that re-
port which oul be noticed. State
ments are made as facts which are based
only on the testimony of a witness of
doubtful credit. and tina testimony
plainly ~contradicted.
The only proposition for which we con-
tend is. that this is a judicial case, and a
committee of the senate ought to con-
slider and report it as judges.

General Charles s. Warren, the ire
pressible founder Of the new town Of
Sumpter, Oregon, and Major General
Frank r. Miles, Of Butte and the Klon-
dixie, and an equally picturesque charac-
ter in the history of the west, both struck
town at the same IN yesterday.
General Warren is out from Sumpter
and he is not backward about saying so.
Major Miles talks about having shovelled
his way through s~noWbanks from the
Yukon during the last month, in weather
that averaged IS degrees below zero, but
General Warren AYERS that Miles spent
the winter in Boston securing capital for
a new railroad to his copper properties in
the Copper river country.
"Sumpter, Is booming" said General
Warren. Just now we are having a lit
tie amusement in a political way. Our
election will be held early in June, so
that Oregon will fire the opening gun Of
the presidential campaign. The state will
roll up a majority Of $4,000 for the re-
publican ticket, Notwithstanding the fact
that Bryan received a cordial greeting in
that state.
Baker City recognizes Sumpter as a
formidable rival and Of course, thai adds
a little zest to the political excitement Of
our neighborhood. At the republican con-
vention held at Baker City about a week
we had the Bakeries scared to death.
Our voting population will be as large as
that of Baker City next fall.
There are now about $500 prospectors
searching for mineral in the hills around
Sumpter. On the east side of the range
the snow has all gone off, but on the west
side. near the Diadem mine there is about
four feet of snow"
General Warren and Major Miles will
remain in the city about a week.
