proposed Amendment to the Constitu.
ton WoL!d Mean An Expenditure
of Over a Million and a Half of
Dollars.
At the coming election citizens of
Pennsylvania will be called upon to
vote yes" or mo" upon two proposed
amendments to the constitution. One
of these provides for personal regis
tration of voters in certain thicllly
settled communities and ia apparently
not being approved by the leaders of
one of the political parties. Organi
zation men have no reason to oppose
such an innovation. The Independent
or Indifferent voter is usually the most
difficult to get to the polls. Now, if
he has to go twice for each election,
once when he is to be registered and
again to vote he will be apt to be of
less annoyance to the party man, Re-
publican or Democrat, as the case
may be.
AN UNPOPULAR SCHEME.
The other proposed amendment is to
permit of the introduction of voting
machines in this state.
Little attention has been paid by the
people to this matter it would appear,
but it is known that a combination
of politicians and capitalists are quiet
ly working game to have this amend
ment adopted. They have visions of
a great prospective financial gains
through the introduction of this in
novation.
shown at Harrisburg during the last
session of the Legislature, when the
promoters of the scheme had strong
lobby on the Hill" working in their
interest among the members of both
houses.
1t was then estimated that the cost
of each machine would be about $235,
and that as there are about 1000 vot
ing precincts in Pennsylvania the total
cost for the mere introduction of the
machines would be over million and
a half dollars. This would not be
tenance and storage between elections.
The machines are very intricate pieces
of mechanism and would require first
class machinists to keep them in order.
Should one of them get out of order
on election day the whole scheme of
election in that precinct would fail.
A BIG GRAB FOR POLITICIANS.
Another argument against the use of
voting machines is that it is conceded
that no machine can make men honest
who are otherwise disposed.
The arrangement of the machine for
which this fight is being made requires
the voter to touch buttons which record
the names of the candidates for whom
the citizen desires to vote. 1t is point
ed out that there would be nothing to
prevent dishonest men to permit i'm
personation Of voters in this push the
button" scheme any more than there
is to allow men to impersonate others
in the casting of the ballots under the
present system.
1t is quite probable that the people
will carefully weigh the arguments pro
and con in this matter of the intro
duction of the machines before they
ultimately decide to advocate the ex-
penditure of million and half dol
lars upon an experimental proposition.
Republicans do not want their party
to be saddled with the responsibility
Of expending over million and half
dollars to introduce a machine in
which a combination of selfish men are
so deeply and personally interested,
and which would not give satisfaction
to the people.

Murphy 6 co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 16.-Liverpool prices this morning were surprisingly higher, being at one time to 5-64d higher than last nights closes. Spot sales were also good at 5000 bales. The market on this side opened to 6 points higher; May con tracts selling at one time as high as G. 5. but eased off during the afternoon and closed at 8.04 Spots were dull and un- changed at 8 5-16. The port movement was again heavy. being estimated at 12,0o0 against $500 for the same date last year. The receipts for tomorrow at Houston and New Orleans were also estimated much larger than last year.
 While the market closed tonight above last night, we can no reason why prices should advance as the outlook for the new crop is very promising, and with an increase in acreage, the fall months should sell much lower than at the pres ent time.

tior here must not be overlooked and is liable to start sharp advance in that month at any time.
 There is unquestionably big short in- terest in May and July which has accu- mulated during the past three months and they show evidence of being worried. The leading holders certainly do not act as if they were and the liquidation in the May which usually prevails at about this season of the year may be on the part of shorts instead of longs and the shorts in July may be in worse fix when that time comes around. Ports today were 12,522 bales vs. 5241 a year ago. At New Orleans 5000 to $500 bales are expected to- morrow ys. 6904 and 5525
 Houston, 4so0 to 520O bales are expected against 43SS and 2250. We are inclined to be bulls on soft spots.

 Trading on the stock exchange today was narrow and the tone was weaken ing under the shadow of the impending budget. American shares were stagnant dragging down to the very close oe the day that was featureless. There was some talk of active money in New York and of the threatened steel strike.- The shares of the United States steel cor poration relapsed 2 points to 47 on the fear of trouble.
 New York bought copper shares by cable. This was before the New York opening and Wall street representatives were paying freely for calls on Anaconde % for the end of May and E for the end of June. but this stock relapsed later with the rest of the American list and with tintos, which went off on London selling.
