Leopoldo Batres, conservator of archaeological monuments in Mexico, has exhumed an ancient city of the Zapotecas in the state of Oaxaca. In its center is a grand plaza, and rising to the north of the plaza are terraces. on which are founded two great tenn pies. while in the center of the plaza itself are two massive mausoleums irl which the priests of the temples wera buried. On opposite sides of the public square there are also twelve smaller shrines, six on either hand, all sup ported by heavy columns of basalt cov- cred with hieroglyphic inscriptions in bas-relief. In the temples the history of the people was found inscribed in the language of the Zapotecas upon fifty tablets of stone. So much of 7, surprisingly rare historic import has already been found that MT. Batres will ask the government for more men to be put to the work of examining and restoring the buildings of the long buried city.

The Calgary (Alberta) Herald says: "The Latter Day Saints settled in AL berta have turned a portion of the country hitherto supposed to be fit for nothing but cattle grazing into a yer itable garden. fruitful and productive. They have built up towns and fur nished an object lesson to settlers in the other portions of Canada by their enterprise and industry. They are law abiding and peaceful, and show re- marka ble eagerness to adapt them- selves to Canadian institutions. The idea that they make it unpleasant for Gentiles who settle among them is false. On the contrary, they often eX- tend to people not of their religion re- siding among them the same assistance which they extend to their co-relig ionists.'

Jerry Simpson has been talking to the Denver Republican. He thinks that neither Roosevelt (whom he likes) nor Bryan will be nominated in 1904. He thinks the democrats will take a man from the middle west who has held his tongue about matters of controversy. II don't live in Kansas any more, " Jerry says. 'I have gone into the cat tie raising business in New Mexico. I am entirely out of politics. The fact that I have moved into a territory ought to prove that statement abso- lutoly true. What show would I have would like to know? Still I have opin- ions as to what will happen"

One of the most peculiar situations ever developed in any municipality is that now existing in the police depart ment of New York City. Dr. Park hurst sums up the whole case when he says that it was expected that the Low administration would reform the police: instead of which the police are reform ing the administration. They have broken away from their superiors and are enforcing the laws, especially the excise law. New York having been dry the last two Sundays for the first time since Theodore Roosevelt was commis- sioner of police. This unheard-of en- forcement of law is due to the fact that the policeman is tired of acting as a scapegoat for his officers, who re- ceive whatever profit is derived from non- enforcement of law. It is a situa- ton well worth watching, both for en- tertainmert and instruction. District Attorney Jerome is earnestly cheering the patrolmen on and assuring them of his support.

ingiy simple and easily accommodate voters. We shall lose our guess if the people in this city do not demand them for use in future elections.
 So much for the machines from the standpoint of the man behind the bal lot. the average, plain citizen, during the process of voting. But when We consider the process of counting the universal appreciation. As soon as the clock strikes > and the moderator de- clares the polls closed, the result can be promulgated. There is no slow process of sorting envelopes, arranging bal lots, counting and recounting and checking, with the inevitable errors, but Q complete, absolutely correct, rec ord of the days work that can be made known to all concerned at once. The returns from the First and Ninth wards were made known last night shortly after o'clock, while the votes in the other wards were not all counted and tabulated until after midnight. That one feature of machine voting was inn pressed upon the people of Hartford last night by the use of the two con- trasting systems.
 Voting by machine does not imply machine voting. That was shown in fairly be said that the particular ma chine used here seemed to be well adapted for it's purpose.
Arizona republican., 1902-04-16

In view of the pronounced superiority of ballot machines over the old method
 of casting and counting MERITS OF votes, it is remarkable VOTING that most of the states MACHINES. are slow to adopt the
 new system. With the exception of New York and Connecti- cut, we believe, not another state or territory has adopted the voting ma- chine. But it is quite certain that within the next few years the auto matic system will be in universal nse Its advantages in the way Of celerity in voting and giving quick and honest count are so manifest that public sen- timent will soon force an abandonment of the antiquated procedure now in vogue. At the election in Hartford last week the ballot machines were used in certain wards and in the local columns of the Hartford Post the mer- its of the machine system are clearly explained. Says that paper:
 The voters of the First and Ninth
 
 by machines here, evidently welcomed the experiment and took kindly to the innovation. They voted with neatness and dispatch. particularly dispatch and stood not upon the orders of their voting. In the First ward over one thousand voters turned the knob and pressed the button and there was gen eral satisfaction that voting by machine was an easy and agreeable and not at all a puzzling or formidable process. In the Ninth ward still larger number of voters were accommodated, the total being in excess of ], 400 and it was not very pleasant day, either. In that ward, too the general verdict was All right" and malcontents were few and far between. The popular verdict, so far as it can be ascertained and eX- pressed by the voters in these two large and representative wards is that voting machines are 9ll right from the stand point of the average voter
 Doubtless the use of the machines ! makes somewhat for straight voting, especially when the voters are strange to the machine and feel a little tmid about the possibility of getting mixed up with the combinations and crani1s. but the machines are after all exceed

The suggestion that the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroad companies


 Southern Pacific railroad companies
 should join with A POSSIBLE the people of the ALTERNATIVE. valley in securing
 water storage, has general approval. That a reservoir would be profitable for the capital in- vested therein. no intelligent resident of the valley doubts The railroads. therefore. instead of making donation. would be placing their funds in re- munerative venture. Not only would the investment itself prove profitable. but the direct benefit to the railroads in the way of greatly augmented traffic for all time would be infinitely more important. The railroads and the country, in short. occupy identical po- sitions. An increased water supply would bring prosperity to all

 or a district thereof-taking the same chances assumed by the railroads. And while there are doubtless some patriots who would prefer to die in poverty rather than be made rich by Corpora tions." they are not nearly SO numerous as their howls indicate.
 It remains to be seen, however, whether it is advisable for the com munity to take up the suggestion of cooperation with the railroads. It will be necessary. perhaps, to await the fate of the enabling act prepared by the storage commission. The valley is unfortunate in the fact that some of the members of the commission have shown themselves wholly impractical. and incapable of meeting the situation ~ in a broad spirit It is now plain that had this commission been ignored by the community in the first instance, and a clear, sensible programme worked out and adhered to by the pro gressive people of the valley, the stor- age problem would now be much nearer solution. The impression is general that not only will the act prepared by the commission fail to receive favor able considera ton in congress, but that one or more members of the commission do not really wish to see a reservoir secured at this time. Months have been wasted in "monkeying" and re- suits so far mean one of two things either some of the commissioners are wholly incompetent, or they do not want storage.
 No matter what absurdities may be contained in the bill as finally pra- pared, great ajority of the people oi the valley would prefer to see it passed rather than have nothing, but unless all indications are misleading the time will soon be at hand for a complete change of programme. And incidental ly, the few men who have been re-

sponsible for this waste of a year will not find the valley a pleasant place in which to abide in the future.

The general health of a woman is inseparably re- lated to the local womanly health. When the deli cate womanly organism is diseased. the body loses plu1npness, the cheeks lose their roses, and q nervous and fretful condition be- comes habitual.

Blakey, Sullivan, Mccarthy, Summers,
Ross and Rainey. Nickels has written
Manager Lawson that his wife being
very sick he will be unable to get here
before next week. Summers will not
get here before May, and it looks as
though Mccarthy has gone to join the
Louisville club Of the American assn
citation.
Manager Lawson says hat he has
written Mccarthy that if he does o
report here by May l he will blacklist
him.
The players who have already re-
ported to Manager Lawson are as fine
Il body of athletes as could be gotten
together, and If their appearance be-
speaks for their ability as ball players,
then Scranton can look forward to see
ing some great ball games this season.
The boys will practice both morning
and afternoon for the mex two weeks.
Saturday afternoon the exhibition game
with Pittston promises to be Il lively
