The discovery of gross frauds in
counting the St. Paul election returns
brings up anew the demand for. the
use of voting machines. By the use
of these, there is no possibility of
fraud. They are easily used and the
tally is completed as soon as the polls
are closed. There is a law now on
our state statute book allowing any
precinct in the state to use these.
The experiment has worked very sat
isfactorily in different in cities. New
York and Minnesota should try them
in the next election.

CONGRESS AND CONSTITUTION.

- NSSlNAA<A3~>
Every session of congress sees
numberless amendments to the con
~stitution PROPOSED, but in the last
session two such amendments won
the attention of the country and each
one received favorable vote in one
of the houses of congress,
The first amendment propose I'd was
that senators be elected by direct
vote of the people. The house
passed it in order to satisfy the in
dignation of the people over recent
senatorial scandals. The measure
was not craftsmanship, for any
student of political conditions would
have noticed that the constitution is
being amended in this. regard in
much the same way, as the people
have changed the original purpose of
the electoral college. The plan OF
state conventions choosing the party's
candidate for the senate is gaining in
popularity and no doubt before many
years, the people will as directly
elect their senators as they do their
president.
The other amendment was the
much heralded Republican antitrust
amendment. While we have implicit
faith in the ability of the statesmen
of the Republican party to efectual
ly cope with the problem of the Or
ganization of great industries, yet
this amendm MT was simply a.
measure of the political manipulators
of the party to catch votes. Such
methods are at all times dispicable
and especially SO when there is SO
little occasion for the party to bid
for votes.
Welcome the time when Congress
will find something better to do than
waste its time so unnecessarily.

The War Department has begun
the work of getting the 81 600 volun-
teers now serving in the Philippines
: to their homes by July Of next year
and replacing them by sufficient
number of regulars to prevent the
prestige of the United States from
suffering. It is proposed to maintain
AN army of 10000 regulars in the
philippines as long as required, and
do this it will be necessary to draw
upon the troops now in the United
States and in Cuba to the extent of
5000. All the volunteers are to be
brought home and mustered out at
the place of enlistment June 30, 1901,
and in order to accomplish this with
certainty and with the least embar-
rassment the homeward movement
will begin early in November next.

beer at the posts and affords some
sort of regimental dispensary for
the boys on the war path. Some say
it makes for temperance and good
discipline. while Others reverberate to
the contrary Notwithstanding. And
there you have it. Some army Of
fcers aver that if the soldiers can't
get>beer at the barracks they will get
rum on the rialto. This may be all
so, also. But other officers say it is
rotgut. Generally speaking we
should say that in times of peace an
able bodied soldier might be permit
ted to walk around among our Ameri-
can institutions without wearing
blinds or having body guard. And
in time of war when responsible for
the deeds done in the body with
gun, every soldier should be a total

regimental surgeon. Or, if beer is a

his paltry wages to get it, but the

Couse for DiOorce.

Mrs. Lenore Reynolds of Union Hill,
N. j., has gone into the courts to get
a divorce from her husband, Wilmot
e. Reynolds, a faith curist Of that
place. The complaint made by the lady
is that her husband demands not only
that she must be cured Of all her ills
by faith, but that she must live en-
tirely by faith. AS an instance of this
she alleges that when she asked him
for twenty-five cents with which to
purchase skirt lining he found 1t ne
cessary to pray four hours for divine
guidance in the matter, and, as she
was in a hurry for the lining, she could
not afford to wait that long with the
even chance that it might not be
vouchsafed to her after all. Mrs.
Reynolds seems to have good grounds
for wishing to get clear Of Mr.. Rey-
nolds, for If she has to wait four hours
for twenty-five cents with which to get
skirt lining, it is impossible to tell
how many days, weeks, or months she
might have to wait If she wished to
get money enough for dress. No
woman should be compelled to en-
dure such tax upon patience or such
uncertainties about obtaining matters
of necessity.

There is no country in Europe, with

another 100000 as reserves, in addi-

NEWSPAPERS IN RUSSIA.

Journals Are Permitted to Print Only
News Authorised by the Censor.
The Russian government has gone
into the business Of publishing news
itself, has established regular press
bureau for the circulation Of news and
supplies all home newspapers now
with foreign news. State Councillor
narrator is the editor-in-chief OF
news on questions of current politics.
Should Russian newspaper dare
to handle" news In manner
different from that in which 1t is
furnished the censor takes hold
at once. And It Is a pretty hard
case for which the censor can
not find handle, as was shown by
Count Uvaron when he found an ex-
cuse for warning an editor enemy by
citing his eulogy Of Pushkin. The edi-
tor had said nothing against the gov
eminent implying disrespect or criti-
cism Of the government in his article,
but Uvaroff found that Pushkin had
no position In the government service,
was neither captain nor head OF
department and was only verse
writer" So the editor was warned"
and a warning is a serious thing, for
1t means that the next offense may be
punished summarily by the suppress
sion Of the paper. Thus one paper, the
Gazeta Gatzuka, was warned once and
then suppressed for want Of respect
for the nobility" The motive of
minister's refusal to authorize a new
publication are sometimes curious
enough. For instance, not more than
three years ago the permission to pub
lish a private newspaper in Tamboy
was refused on the ground that the
necessity for such publication there
"has not ripened yet," and that "the
local official paper is quite efficient for
the place." Sometimes a refusal is
based on the fact that the local censor,
having various other official duties has
work enough without new paper
