THE VIVA VOCE VOTE.
A Method That Was Once General I'm
This Country.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The proposition of the Rev. DR.. Richard
MellWaine, member of the Virginia con-
stitutional convention, to return to viva
voce voting at elections reyives many in
teresting memories. This method of vot-
ing was general in this country for many
years. and survived In Virginia until the
civil war period. In Maryland it was aban-
doned seventy-five or eighty years ago, and
voting by ballot was introduced, with the
idea that it would promote secrecy and do
away with the coercion of employees by
their employers In this expectation the
advocates of the new plan were disappoint-
ed, as it was found that if an employe was
to be coerced or a voter bribed it was
perfectly feasible to make him vote an
open or a marked ticket This introduction
Of the Australian system of voting in re-
cent years had the same object in view, but
again there was disappointment, as means
were soon discovered for defeating this OBJ
ject. Other features of the Australian sys-
| tenn, however, are so far superior to the
entirely justify its general adoption
throughout the land. What effect the new
form of ballot adopted In Maryland will
have upon the secrecy ofthe vote remains
to be seen. The new law abolishes aid by
ballot clerks, and so closes one method of
ascertaining how man votes.
Judge fancy, in his autobiography, gives
an interesting description of a viva voce
election in Calvert county in the year 1893,
when he was a. candidate for the house of
delegates Members of the house, electors
of senator's and the sherfffs were the only
officials elected by the people in this state
for more than half~a century after the
state government was established. The
governors were elected by the legislature
and other officials were appointed. At the
time Judge fancy was a candidate for the
legislature he says 1t was not considered
right in principle or expedient to carry
party divisions into the concerns of the
state, and nothing was said of the politics
of the candidate, but whether he was bet
ter qualified for the place than his COMPETE
tor. The whole county voted at the court
house. and the election lasted four days.
The votes were viva voce and the sheriff
held the election, and when the polls were
closed and the votes added up he pro-
claimed in loud voice the names Of those
who were chosen. = The candidates during
the election sat a raised bench imme-
diately behind the sheriff. so that each OF
them could see and be seen by every voter
When a voter came up every candidate be-
gan to solicit his vote and to press his own
name upon him. These scenes were occa-
sionaliy enlivened by sallies of wit between
the voter and the candidate and sometimes
the voter gave pretty hard hit TO cam
didate whom he happened to dislike. The
four days were days OF no small anxiety

northwest may asst for hours, according
to the rapidity with which the barometer
rises. The faster il goes up the more Sc
we're will be the blow, but the sooner it
marks the passage of these storms, and
covers a very wide area of country. The
major part of the fall is usually deposited
in the southern states or along the At
lantic coast.
Not Always True.
The time of the autumnal equinox ION
or about September 2D occurring during
the season Of these severe storms probably
leads to the belief which has been stead
lastly adhered to by many that storm
always occurs at the time of the equinox.
Such is not the case There is no scien-
tific reason that can be assigned for calling
any storm an equinoxial storm; nor Is
there any reason that can be advanced why
storm should be sprung upon us when the
sun crosses the imaginary line of the equa-
tor any more than when it crosses any
other given point going north or south. 1t
is scientific fact that storms have no
movement over the equator, and nothing
but heavy local rain is felt there; again
they have never been known to cross the
equator, going north or south, but rage
with great fury to the north of the bound
airy line of the belt of Gains in the north
err hemisphere and to the south of that
line in the southern hemisphere.
Besides the danger from the great wind
force attending the movement or hurrl-
canes, there is secondary element winch
is equally disastrous along the line of the
Atlantic coast The wind for some time
before the storm center approaches blows
strong from the northeast for a great dis
lance over the ocean, banking the water
I'D on the coast to considerable height
above the normal. inundating and destroy
ing property and endangering life. These
high tides may occur when there Is no
storm in sight. They have frequently Wis
tied the coast, giving the only evidence of
a severe storm at sea, too far from land
to be detected by instruments.
The serpentine course and erratic move
ment of hurricanes make them very diff
cult even for the most experienced and
scientific forecaster, to predict. Accurate
warnings to mariners and people living
along the gulf and Atlantic. coast lines
would be of incalculable value. Command
ers of ocean craft cannot exercise too much
care in navigating waters within the line
of these sea monsters.

Returns After Long Absence.
rom the Kingston Freeman.


After an absence of twenty-one Years
during which he has Travelled over the
United States, Mexico and South America.
-Cephus ID. Wetmore has returned to his
home and family in Awasting, Ulster
county. For years previous to his disap-
pearance Wetmore had lived with his wife
and three children on a small farm at the
foot of the Shawangunk mountains. He
worked hard to provide for his family, but
with little success. He left one day with
out announcing his intention. From that
day his family had no tidings of him, and
he had been mourned dead. Wetmore
drifted to Mexico, and finally settled I'm
Chile, South America. where he secured
work with a contractor as section boss
Wetmore saved money, while his employer
met with reverses and finally failed. Wet
more took up the work where his EMPLOYER
left off and completed the contract, which
realized for him a nice sum. He contin-
ued in the contract business and accumu-
lated a fortune. He decided to return
home. Time wrought great changes in
Wetmores appearance, and when the pros
perous-looking stranger appeared at the
home of Mrs. Wetmore she was inclined to
disbelieye his statements that he was her
missing husband. During his absence Wet
more's sons had succeeded in paying Oft
the mortgage on the farm and were pros
pering. His daughter, Jennie, died about
eight years ago.

SMALLPOX.
Warming That the Disease May Spread
During Winter.


During Winter.
From the New York Herald.
After the subsistence of the smallpox
scare during the summer we hear of new
cases of the disease showing themselves n
the autumn. Four victims Were taken 10
North Brother Island a day or two ago,
and more are likely to follow unless the
repeated warnings of the health department
are needed. In a city like Greater New
York, where there are such close and intrI-
cate communications with persons at all
times and in all places, the prevention Of
the spread Of the pest is a matter>of most
serious moment. 1t would seem that the
very ease with which absolute protection
can be secured is the only reason why
wholesale vaccination is not more popular
If an epidemic can be guarded against
during the coming winter it must be by he
means indicated. In cold weather smallpox
always propagates itself with great rapidly
and with marked malignancy. Closed aud
warm rooms are particularly favorable con-
ditions for the concentration of the poison.
In fact on their account the disease gers
its best start. The comparatively latent
character of the malady during the Summer
Is, therefore, no guarantee against its pos
sible wide dissemination during the frosty
months The trouble is that each ole
thinks himself safe until he is either ex-
posed to the infection or is actually at
tackled. In spite of what anti-Va eCination-
lists may say to the contrary, tn present
methods of incubation are perfectly safe
when pure vaccine is used. Now is The time,
then, for every individual who is not sure
that he is protected to submit to this sim
pie and effective operation without questio IN
or misgiving
