Several voting machines were used In

tons are automatic adders. so that when
the last ballots are cast the ma
chimes have only to be unlocked
for the total to be known at
once. Tits. Of course, does away with
an immense deal of figuring, and were
all the voting done by means of the ma
chimes, the whole vote Of even as big 2
CITY as New York could be ascertained
in two or three hours after the closing OF
the polls. All this provided the machines
are the success it has been predicted they
would be. and on this score the report as
10 their use on Tuesday is that they
gave good results. At all places where
the machines were used dummies were
exhibited outside of the booths where the
uninitiated could practice before going in
to vote, and 1t is said it didn't take more
than a couple of demonstrations TO teach
A voter how to use the new devices. Pos
sibly ere many years, the large number
OF men who vote like machines will, with
all their fellow-suffragists. be voting by
machinery.

A NAVAL QUESTION.

There is, it is stated, a movement on
foot to induce Congress to repeal as soon
as it assemblies, the clause in the Roose-
Welt navy personnel bill permitting officers
who had served during the war between
the States to retire with the next higher
rank. The bill was intended to revolu-
tionize and improve the service, but it has
proved Disappointing in several respects,
notably as respects the specific clause in
question. The object of this clause was
to induce the retirement of few OF the
higher officers who had suffered by the
block in promotions in the years from
1870 to lSeS. It's practical operation, how
ever, has been to encourage valuable Off
cers-offlcers needed in the service-to
go on the retired list. So many officers
have seized the opportunity to retire as
rear admirals as to embarras the Navy
Department and to load up the retired list
with expensive pensioners quite capable
Of several years more Of active duty.
There have been instances in which officers
have been retired as rear adlnirals few
weeks after they were serving on small
cruisers with the rank of commander, and
their good fortune has naturally made
others. who were weary of sea service and
unwilling to incur the risks OF further ac-
tive duty follow their example and seek
the comforts Of quiet life On the excel

It is contended that the particularly abb
jectionahle clause Of the bill under dis
cussion is demoralizing our naval estab-
lishment. and therefore, it is most likely
that the movement for repeal will meet
with success. And it would appear that
if the other side cannot make out a better
case than it has so far presented the
movement ought to succeed.

.FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY
KILLS HIS FATHER.
Helped by His Brothers, Aged 10
and S Ycars-Thc Children's
Story Of the Crime.


ST. LOUIS, MO-, November ga spe-
cia! to the Post-Dispatch from Columbus,
Neb, tells of the killing last Friday of a
farmer named Gerhard Borchers, living
several miles northeast of Humphreys
by Herman, a H-year-old son. who used
a shotgun, which he had purchased for
that purpose. With the help Of two
brothers. August, aged 10. and John. aged
years, Herman dragged the body of his
father to a straw stack and set fire to it.
This Is the story secured by Sheriff
Byrnes from the three children, who are
in custody. Each of the children practi-
cally told the same story, the only
variance being in the degree Of culpa-
blity in the killing accorded to each.
Herman, who is said to have fired the
gun that killed his father, duplicates
his younger brothers. equally with him
self. while they put the blame on him.
The only motive for the crime given
was that the father. with whom the chill
dren had lived alone since their mothers
death, had not treated them kindly.
Neighbors Of the Borchers say they know
OF no mistreatment on the part Of the
farmer.

TAMifANy.

Whatever may turn out to be the pre-
else results of the election in New YORK
State, it is obvious that Tammany is 1t
self again, and is once more power IN
politics to be reckoned with.
Its leader Mr.. Charles +. Murphy, is
to be CONGRATULATED. In all probability
he was more successful than the Honora-
bic Dick Croker would have been had the
latter been present and in command.
1t would now seem that Tammany
might we'll afford to dispense with Mr.
Croker altogether, shadow and substance

JUDGE RHEA.

The returns from the Ninth Congress
ional District indicate the defeat OF our
nominee. ex-Judge W. T. Rhea.
That is unwelcome news. We mad
hoped the Old Dominion would continue
to have an unbroken Democratic delega-
ton in the House.
We suppose the Judges i'll luck is main
" due to the over-contidence of his
friends and supporters; with little more
effort they might have elected him. He
is man of ability; he has been use
full Congressman. and We have no idea
that he will be permitted to retire to the
shades of private life for long. He will
be heard from again.

Secretary Of the Navy Moody made a
number of campaign speeches in the
West to aid in the election of Repubil-
can representatives in Congress. At Mad
ison. Wis he corrected Governor La
Toilette, saying that there is in fact q
duty of 81 cents a ton on anthracite coal;
but he maintained that this item had been
slipped in without the knowledge of those
who had charge of tariff legislation. 1t
was, however, he declared, a mistake:
and it did not represent the purposes of
the Republicans. The accuracy of his
statement was challenged. and he has
written letter reaffirnninS it; but now
the Philadelphia Record shows from the
Congressional Record that Senator Vest
was very positive In directing attention
to the fact that the measure was intend
ed TO and did place a duty on anthracite
coal.
1t will be Of interest to see what Sec
rotary Moody will now have to remark in
rejoinder. He will, it seems, have to con-
fess either that he was not entirely frank
or that he went off at half cock.
