Republican papers of Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania generally are
fond of charging ballot box
stuffing and other corruption at
the polls to the people of the
Southern states. They affect to regard
the DISTINGUISHING of the illiterate and
venal vote in the South as a monstrous
outrage threatening the perpetuity of
the very government itself. But how
do the Pennsylvania Republicans carry
elections? Mr.. E. A. Coray, Jr., of
Wilkesbarre himself Republican, but
of the decent sort, is on record as say
ing with respect to the recent cleo
ton: THE Quay machine is in a po-
sition to make the pluralities for the
state candidates as large as the bosses
wish" And there can be no doubt that
the pluralities were so made. Several
of the Philadelphia papers have boldly
asserted that the most glaring frauds
were perpetrated at the polls; that
honest men were assaulted by the
thugs of the machine to keep them
from voting; that dead mems names
We're voted, as well as the names of
dogs and parrots--in short that fraud
and rascality were rampant In the
South restrictions respecting the ballot
are placed upon those unworthy of the
elective franchise. In Pennsylvania
the Republican machine defrauds hon
est and intelligent men of the value
of their ballots.

North Carolina may go into the
China mating manufacturing business
before a great while. 1t is stated that
the mating reed-the reed out of which
floor mating is made-has been found
growing in large quantities in the
marshes of the Neuse and Trent rivers
about New Berne. The reed is identical
with that OF China. the stalks being
from sixteenth to one-eighth of an
inch in diameter and three to seven
feet long. 1t is said to be a hardy
plant and a rapid grower. The impor-
tations of mating from China have
been as high as 5000 900 pounds i'm a
year. The Baltimore News says the
manufacture Of mating is simple and
comparatively inexpensive. very little
skilled labor being necessary

MINISTER WIS RECALL REGRET
TED.

1t must be gratifying to Minister WI
that the newspapers SO generally re-
greet his recall There is no doubt of
his popularity in Washington. In fact,
he seems to have pretty strong hold
on the good will of the people in all
parts of the country. This is rather
remarkable in view of the fact that the
opposition to Chinese immigration is
so strong that immigrants from China
are not permitted to land at our ports.
Minister WI has shown himself to
be a man of much more than ordinary
ability He has certainly displayed
diplomatic talents of a high order, and
since the Boxer trouble began, has
rendered his country signal service. He
has made himself agreeable to the gov
eminent and the people, and has Gre
ated much better impression of the
Chinese people than existed here before
he came as the representative of his
government.
The report has gained currency that
he is to occupy a lower position on his
return home than he now holds Where
or how the rumor originated is not
known, but there are reasons for think
ing that it has no foundation. The
better opinion is that his government
wants his services at home, believing
that he is much better qualified to adj
wise it in its present difficulties than
any other of it's servants. The state
ment is current in Washington that he
will become the adviser of the minister
of foreign affairs, and that in the
course of a short time he will be APP
pointed to that high office. 1t would
be gratifying to Minister Wu's friends
in this country if he should be pro-
NOTED as indicated.

is considering the employment of girls

idea is not liked by the railroad men

they say that the work of waiter on

sists principally in the arduous occu-
patton of drawing corks out of the
necks of bottles, a species of service
which would be neither suitable nor
oongenial for properly reared young

Voting machines were used in Buff
falo. and one machine was employed
in New York city precinct. In each
instance the result is said to have been
highly satisfactory. The voting ma
chimes are something like the cash reg

and pulls a little lever set over against
the name of the ticket or the candi-
date of his choice, and the machine

ballot-box stuffing, and since the ma
chine is a self-adder, II gives the to-
tails as soon as the lever-pulling has
been concluded. Had machines been
used in all of the elections there would
have been fewer charges of fraud, and
the outcome would have been known
definitely within few hours from the
closing of the polls.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Here is how the Republicans retain
control of Philadelphia. The account
is from the North American Qnd0:
"In Philadelphia last Tuesday citizens
were beaten by Ashbridges ruffians
for daring to attempt to exercise their
right of suffrage; officers appointed
by the courts to stand guard over the
ballot-box were assaulted and thrown
out; victims of Gang violence were ar
rested by the police and thrown into
Jail; policemen bullied and intimdated'
voters and personally conducted gangs
of repeaters to the polls. Not one of
the incidents of this reign of ruffian-
ism was mentioned in the columns of
the machines gutter press. According
to Ashbridge's organ, it was a fairly
orderly election -
The Washington Post Qnd) says:
altogether. the Democrats have every
reason to felicitate themselves. No
party ever fought against such over
whelming odds. No such strain was
ever put upon the courage and fidelity
of party men. 1t is true that the Dem
mocracy has won no victories except
ing in the case of Kentucky and, per-
haps, of Maryland; hut it is evident
that the stout old party is alive, that
it's Vigor is returning, and that, freed
from the false leaderships and the inn
practicable heresies that have so IA
tally handicapped it during the past
eight or ten years. it has before IL a
career of usefulness and incalculable
possibilities. The Democracy may well
take heart"
The Chicago Chronicle CDem) says:
"If the Democratic gains in yesterdays
elections were slight they were won
against extraordinary odds. The Chi
cago and Kansas city platforms are
still responsible for dsorganization
and defections But a close analysis
of yesterdays vote viii show that there
are encouraging signs OF Democratic
unity again In many quarters"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
Dem) says. What Congress VIII do
at the next session Is "A puzzlng ques-
ton, but the preponderance Of opinion
is that 10 VIII, in the main prefer "a
course of mastery inactivity. as being
the best way 90 avoid commitment 10

Another question, even more important,
concerns the future of Senator Hanna.
1t is well known for the last year or
two, practically every appointment in
the south was made only with, his sp-
prevail, and that he had thus built up
for himself most powerful machine
on which he relied to secure his nomi-
nation in 19O4-this despite his asser-
tions that 1t was foolishness to,talk of
him for president. Now the question
is whether these men, who owe alleg-
lance to the Ohio man, will be reap
pointed IS their terms expire. If they
are, they will consider that Hanna saw
ed them, will still maintain their fealty
to him, and will support him when the
national convention meets. If, on the
contrary, Mr.. Roosevelt puts in his own
men, they will favor him. An almost
identically similar situation exists in
regard to New York, where Senator
Plat, who has always been understood
to be Roosevelt's enemy, has dictated
the disposition of the offices. Will he be
allowed to retain this control and use il
to antagonize Roosevelt in 1904, or will
the new president build up machine
of his own there? To those who I'M
derstand the great power exercised by
the federal office holders, the question
is most interesting one.

at the far famed Cliff House. 1t was
beautiful moonlight night, and from
where we sat upon the porch we look
ed out upon the broad bosom Of the
Pacific ocean. The moons light made
path across the waters, and in its
center the Seal rocks lay like n black
patch. The Englishman inquired what

Limewater has so many uses 1t is
hard to classify. 1t is good to soften
water, to sweeten drains. to keep milk
vessels wholesome, to make milk itself
sit well upon delicate stomachs, to test
air for excess of carbonic acid-if there
is too much carbonlc acid present, the
clear limewater instantly crusts over
to take out marks left by grease spots
which have been removed by stronger
alkalis-in fact, for SO many things it
should always be kept on hand. Mixed
with either sweet or llnseed oil to a
creamy consistence, 1t is the very best
household remedy for burns and scalds
1t costs practically no more than the
trouble of making. Put lump Of
quicklime as big as the two fists in a
clean earthen pitcher cover it six inch
es deep with clean cold water, stir
with wooden spoon and let it stand
six hours. Pour off the clear liquid
without disturbing the lime, but let 1t
run through double cheesecloth. Put
in small bottles and cork tight. In
using always pour off half an inch
from the top of bottle that has stood.

Called LoriIInrd's Hun,

Heavy bettor as he was, Pierre Loril-
lard once met his match when he ran
up against gray bearded James Il.
Kelly, who introduced bookmaking into
this country. 1t was nearly n genera
ton ago and Mt Jerome park. Kelly
was laying 21s to 1 against one Of
I.orillard's horses in a big stake event.

on his coach on the clubhouse lawn.
I'm just take n little of the conceit
out of that sawed off Irishman," said
I.orillard to Wright Sanford, Newbold
Morris, John Hunter and few other
cOngenial spirits. They started for the
ring together.
III lay $4,000 on my horse at that
price, Kelly" said Mr.. Lorillard in his
princely fashion, expecting to see Kelly
Certainly, Mr.. Lorillard." Then
turning to his sheet writer, Kelly said:
"S25, 900 against $4,000, Pierre Loril-
lard" Quickly he turned to the to-
bacco magnatc with a polite "Much
obliged to you, Mr.. Lorillard; very
much obliged. Would you or your
friends care to bet another $4,000 at
the same odds? Should be delighted
to accommodate YOU"
What n ncrve!' was all Mr.. Loril-
lard could say as he turned on his heel
and walked away.
Jimmy Kelly won the bet, for Lor-
illard's horse was beaten.-New York
