THE RESULT IN MARYLAND.
Complicated Ballot With Trick Ap. pendages 1nvalidates Thou
 sands of Y otes.
ore Special to N. Y. Herald.

Baltimore Special to N Y. Herald.
 At a late hour tonight 1t looks very much like German victory. Upon scat tered returns from the State at large and estimates from a partial count of the Few city precincts the Democratic man. agers figure the triumph of the State ticket by 1000 plurality.
 Partial returns from the country nre. cincts at Republican headquarters show Republicans are holding their own. ow- Ing to the complicated ballot. only forty or fifty ballots have been counted in some city precincts in three hours
 The loss of thousands of votes was a feature of today's balloting, and for this the big, complicated German ballot with It's numerous trick appendages, was re- sponsible. The loss fell principally on the negroes. as was intended, but the ballots of many ignorant whites were also cast out as defective.
 indications now are that more than 20, = 900 ballots will be thrown out in the whole State. All sorts of tricks were re- sorted to to kill the negro vote.
 The ballot. when spread out, was twice as large as the shelf on the berth on which the voter had to mark 1t. In a cor ner of the shelf a candle burned.
 Some voters set fire to their ballots others got smudges of candle grease on
 
 their ballot too near the edge of the shelf punctured holes In them and unless they called for new ballot lost their vote. On many of the booth shelves bits of lead mad beet scattefed which smudged the packs of the ballots and invalidated them. At half past ten o'clock tonight no of- nclal returns have been received from a single one of the 30S precincts of Balti- more city nor from any one of the twen- tyiour counties of the State. The indi- cations are that complete returns cannot ne received tonight and that the result Of the State election will not be known positively until tomorrow.
 Estimates from scattering counties. based on returns from individual districts. are beginning to come in. They indicate as rule that Warfield. the Democratic nominee has run slightly ahead of his ticket. but that the usual Democratic ma jcrities are cut down. It seems certain that the expectations of heavy Demo- cratic gains entertained by the party managers have not been realized.

NATION FACES A DEFICIT
CASH IN TREASURY LIKELY TO BE EXHAUSTED BEFORE
 DEC, 1.
President and Secretary Shaw Are Alarmed By the Situation-Fear it Will Have Bad Effect in Next Years Campaign Reckless Appropriations
 By Congress Cause of
 Embarrassment.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 Todays treasury statement of receipts and expenditures makes 1t clear that a deficit of considerable proportions will be reached before the close of the current month. The surplus at the close of to- days business amounted to the insigni- ficant sum of $257. .414 and at the present ratio of expenditures over receipts that is likely to be wiped out by Thursday night. Yesterdays surplus was $4ll, ,S54.
 A year ago today the surplus was $13,- 661.Sl6, and even at that time owing to the probability that the President might elect to order the beginning of opera tions on the isthmian canal there were grave doubts as to whether 1t would con- tinue during the year.
 Congress Raids the Treasury.
 When Congress met last December the surplus was mounting higher and higher and every committee empowered to con- slider bills authorizing the expenditure Of money took advantage Of the situation to multiply appropriations Conservative and serious minded members or Con gress uttered warnings fin both houses that the pace which was being set was a dangerous one, but the answear inVaria- bly, was that the treasury was fuil 10 overfowing and that Congress mlght as well spend the surplus as 10 let IL re- main in the treasury.
 Secretary Shaw. who is paying the clos est attention to current developments IS looking Into the future with grave eyes So is President Roosevelt. They are afraid that the obvious slackening or general business throughout the coun- try will continue for several months ana that treasury receipts instead Of lncreas ing will undergo even greater contraction.
 < ear Effect in Campaign.
 The prospect of a large denclt on the eve of a national campaign IS eXreiney disquieting to the Presidents IrlenuS. They see in 1t sign so unfaVoraDle mat mat they fear it's influence upon the Pupuo mind. They feel satisfied that its conse- quences will be charged to the reckless extravagance of the last Republican Con gress and will be used by the Democrats

OUR HURRY. METHODS.

This is emphatically- an age of hurry, and especially along industrial lines. Things are accomplished now with speed and annfhilation of time and space that would have been considered miracul- ous century ago. It is not merely that steam and electricity are harnessed for use, that human and animal speed has increased. and that we travel as no one in the past could have imagined possi- ble, but the same hurry is observable in our manufacturing industries. A job to which our ancestors would have given days or weeks is now condensed into a few hours.
 As an example of this speedy way of doing things, we note a test case recently made in Germany in the manufacture of printing paper from wood pulp. The trees from which the paper was made were cut down in the forest at 7:35 a. m., and the account thus speaks of the luther steps:
 These trees were carried to the manu- factory. where they were cut Into pieces twelve inchs in length, which were then peeled of their bark and split. The wood thus prepared was afterward raised by an elevator to the fine def1brators of the works. The wood pulp produced by the machines was then put into vat. where it was mixed with the necessary mate rials. This process finished, the liquid pulp was sent to the paper machine. At S:N a. m. the first sheet of paper was finished, The entire manufacture had thus consumed but one hour and fifty nine minutes"
 Thus from a standing tree to sheets of finished paper was trife less than two hours, but that didn't end the work
 A sheet of this paper was carried two miles and a half to a printing office and at exactly 10 o'clock printed paper was in the hands of the readers. The whole time consumed, from the growing tree to the printed sheet was just two hours and twenty-five minutes.
 Such a feat as this would seem in- credible, but the facts are well establish ed and we have no reason to doubt the statement. It shows as few things can, the perfection of machinery, the triumph of modern methods and the advantage of system. In the old times and under the old methods it required several days to turn out finished sheet of paper, but now 1t is done in less than two hours from the raw material to the finished pro duct. This experiment is but one of the examples of our modern way of doing things.

The Methodist Protestant Telephone has this to say about a matter that has caus- ed no little comment:
 We see that the Presbyterians of West Virginia publish deliverance against her ministers wearing 'bob-tailed coats" If the cut of the coat has been according to salary this may be the means of an increase in pay as well as ministerial ap- pearance.
 What about 'bob-tailed" sermons?
 If a bob-tailed preacher has to preach bob-tailed sermon fin bob-tailed coat because g bob-tailed church pays bob tailed salary, it is hard on the preacher to force him to the extra expense or make him feel as lonesome as Sanders bob tailed dog at a log-walking.
 We see no occasion for ridiculing the action of the West Virginia Presbyterians. While it Is true that different religious denominations have different ideas as to the style of dress to be worn by the min isters. especially when engaged In their sacred duties, we see no reason why all denominations should not insist on their ministers clothing themselves in a way that Is both decent and becoming. We suspect that those who are indulging in badinage at the expense of the Virginians would not tnlnk IL becoming co minister to be seen in the pulpit dressed in the loud and gaudy style usually affected by sporting men and prise-fghters. Such a dress in such place would be incongru- ous and out of place, and would really be reflection on the church.
 We may rail against fashion if we choose. and try to argue that dress has nothing to do with religious devotion or with those who occupy the position of ministers, but that will not change the fact that all of us have more respect for them when they are becomingly and soberly dressed than we would If they resembled clowns or sports. The attempt to ridicule the West Virginia Presbyte- rians because they insist that those who occupy their pulpits shall be dressed in acordance with their sacred calling and with the solemnity which belongs to their position Is out of place. Between the ascetIcism of the old Puritan and the fashiness of the roue, there Is happy mean which is without offence in either direction. There are a few so-called preachers whose pulpit manners would indicate that the man should wear a cap and bells, but they are few, and are in no sense worthy exemplars of their call ing. Let ministers dress "decently and in order" if they want the respect of
 others.

THE WAY 10 WIN

On Saturday before the late election General Charles R. Brayton, of Rhode Island, made a speech to his brother Re- pubHcans in which he told them that victory was within reach. and further told them: If you can't reach t. why reach little further and get it, Comment ing on this utterance. The .Pawtucket Evening Times (Repuolican) says; :.
 What would be the advice of pick pocket to his pal If they intended to work the people. as the general says he hears will be attempted in this State by those who believe in law and order? Would | 1t be much different from that which this eminently respectable leader of the spot less Republican State machine gave to his most innocent workers at the love | feast?"
 In plain words General Brayton might have said to his Party workers: eff you can't get victory in any other way, steal it." That Is what his words meant. He is the same adviser, by the way, who some years ago told the Republican mana gers to put only the shrewdest Repubh- cans at the polls as supervisors and the most stupid Democrats" That advice was on line with his advice of Satur- day, but the latter indicated that he look ed on the case as more desperate than before. The result shows that he had good cause to doubt of success, and 1t also shows that the disreputable advice given by him and evidently followed. was not competent to give the State to his Party. All the same 1t shows the Repub- lican idea of carrying elections. Reach little further and get it" is good Re- publican counsel.

Get the College,

Editor The Advertiser:
 endorse most heartily your editorial on the need of a great college in Montgom- cry. Such an institution would wield a tremendous influence for good, and would benefit every home in our city. I under stand that at least two sjIes have been offered. either of which would make a fine location for the college and would furnish abundant room for buildings and professors homes, and leave a large and adequate campus.
 Why cannot Montgomery move in the matter at once? Within thirty days we sity, and by next fall everything may be in readiness for three or four hundred young men. I believe that the coming of this college would mark a new era In Montgomerys history, and I am ready to give time and money to secure 1t.

German is stirring up hornets nest for the Democratic Party by his state ment that no greater crime was ever per petrated in this country than that crime which Is perpetrated in the fifteenth con- etituttonal amendment, declaring for equal political rights. When the Republicans enter on the campaign of 1904 they will enter with considerable emphasis upon the refutation of the proposition of the Southern Democracy, to the effect that unless we run this government on race prejudice we shall run the republic into fhe ground.-Boston Journal.
 without going into any defence or crdtI- cism of MT. Germans race issue, we would like to ask The Journal if 1t thinks the Republican Party will dare to come out in it's platform next year unequivo- cally in favor of the fifteenth amend meut? The Journal doubtless knows that many of the best informed and most influential Republicans in the North have declared in unmistakable language that said amendment was a mistake, and that 1t cannot now be defended. Let The Jour nal demand that the Republican national platform make the issue and see how much sympathy 1t will get.

To those highly esteemed Northern con- femporar1es who are anxious to know what the Southern newspapers will have to say about the President and Mrs Roose- welt entertaining five negro sailors at their table, we reply that if MT. and Mrs. Roosevelt like that sort of thing that is the sort of thing they will like. Tastes uiffer very much, and a perverted taste will show itself. even in a President of fhe United States. No doubt the white sailors. or some of them. felt humiliated. but saw no method of getting out of their unpleasant predicament.

 You deserve the thanks of the commun- ity for bringing forward the great need of a University in Montgomery.
 This Capital City cannot afford longer to lag behind all the rest in this matter Of higher educational institution in its midst We owe this much to the State of Alabama, as we'll as to ourselves.
 Around such an institution both a med ical college and a law school could be easily organized by using the members of the local bar and our local physicians. This is the way Vanderbilt University has been able to organize these professional schools.
 Other departments. such as engineering, pharmaceutical and the like, would also quickly follow. It Is strange that our peo- pie have not laid this matter to heart be- fore. Now that 1t Is before them, let it be pushed with vigor.
 Nothing so important for Montgomery has been proposed in recent years Push 1t! Citizen.

A Republican Prediction.

We predict that in the next national campaign that the Democrats will drop every other issue, and make the race is. sue paramount. That is at all times q dangerous issue before a Caucasian peo- pie, 1t Out-weighs all others, Is harder to answer before a white audience. The situation In Alabama Republican camps Is liable to make national record The Lilly Whites have attempted to be quiet, but the referees wave the red flag in our face and are forcing us to make a fight or accept negro equality.
