NJ. ]. DADDY WANTS VOTING MACHINES.
Says They Would Save City $4,000 a
Year

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune dispatch from Albany dated
March 81 contained errors which should not be al
lowed 70 pass unnouced. 1t was stated that the
use Of voting machines would entail expenditure
by the New-York City election authorities Of 1885,
600 in case two machines are used 10 district and
II three machines used expenditure Of almost
$4,000. As q matter OF fact. instead OF two
machines to each district but would be neces-
sary and under the present law regulating the use
Of voting chimes COO votes be east in each
district instead OF 40 votes under the present
paper ballot system. consequently the election dis
tricts would be reduced from 100 10 100.
Now, allowing that the machines cost $500 each.
which is high estimate. the total cost OF supply
ing New-York city would be $4,000. In 1903 the
Board Of Elections OF New-York city at tho
quest OF the Board OF Estimate and Apportion-
ment. which at that tine contemplated the pur-
chase OF voting machines, and made every enort
10 secure them. submitted a statement 10 the effect
that the OF providing voting machines for tho
CITY including the care or the same Tor one year
ana making all allowances for transporting and
installation storage etc. would be $4,000. BY this
estimate there would be saving Effected by a re
ducton OF polling places ana ballot clerks etc, OF
Sll2Qgo n yea. Or in other words the machines
would pay Tor themselves IN about seven years.
Voting machines are already in use IN 5S7 cities
and villages in THIS State. including Buffalo.
Rochester, syracuse, Utica, Troy and every large
city. and there Is no reason Whatsoever why they
should not be installed here. Beyond tho slightest
uougt they viii ue IN general use an over the coun-

LORD ACTON AND GEORGE ELIOT.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: was greatly pleased with your supplement
OF the 9th. containing reviews OF Byron and
Daniel Webster and especially with the article on
Lord Acton His letter to Mary Gladstone. IN
eulogy Of George Eliot IS brmfu Of truth and good
Judgment. X Is easy 20 understand Gadstone's
undertaking George Eliot, when consider their
relative positions IN public life Gladstone had no
high opinion Of any who not, like himself.
q devoted believer I'm the Bible; there is doubt
that his attitude in this matter added much to his
popularity in England. Nevertheless Darwin,
Spencer and other leading scientists. such as Hux-
ley and Tyndall. will be remembered as the world
grows wiser, and knowledge is spread more among
the masses Of the people. There is vast deal more
reading done every year, OF the more solid kind OF
literature. than the case in the last decade
and reading OF this sort VIII be the increase
have read the book on George Eliot by the late
Sir Leslie Stephen. 1t pays too little attention 20
what had great influence in the moulding OF her
character-that IS. environment There were stir

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Suggestion for LeSsening the Car
Crash Nuisance.
To tie Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: One or the most Derplexfng and imperative
conditions and demands OF the public in this coun-
try is that Of railroad transportation which will
give rapid and convenient travelling facilities at
satisfactory rates of charges. This is especially
true when applied to railroad transportation in the
large cities, where criticism is extremely rife, and
sometimes almost overwhelming. ~ the present
time the elevated roads stand ct the head in fur
nishing and fulfilling each OF these conditions;
their tracks always free Of surface obstruction.
The fault that the public points TO is that there
are not sufficient seats 20 accommodate the vast
number who simultaneously 90 TO their business
and return to their homes in certain hours Of the
day. which forces many of them to stand in the
aisles Of the cars. This condition cannot be
avoided without lessening the number OF passengers
for The cOgent that the trains in those hours
are run under a Roadway or about minute apart.
which is certainly close enough for reasonable
safety.
The bane that exists in what is termed the
rush hours of travel is in permitting the plat
forms OF the to be occupied by passengers.
thus causing great inconvenience TO the entrance
and departure OF passengers who are inside OF the
cars. and besides preventing the guard from open
ing and closing the gates to the cars freely. This
clogging of the platforms is dangerous. and very
liable TO cause severe accidents to passengers To
and the outside END Of each car, prohibiting pas
sengers from standing on the Platform OF me car
when the trains are moving. Inc no ueSs sIlo" 10
instruct the guards not to allow passengers 10
stand there. and II they neglect 10 make the ue-
mand on each passenger go inside OF the car,
then they should be discharged at once. ana II the
passenger who receives such orders refuses TO obey
or IL they neglect to observe and obey the coudl-
tons Of the notice SO posted. the penalty shOu1d
be severe fine. -,
II there is neither sitting standing room in the
cars the passengers should be warned against get
ting aboard by the guard at the station PLATFORM,
and he should come under the same head OF rules
as that of the guard on the cars Probably more
than half Of the time there is plenty OF seating
room for all the passengers on the elevated Iall-
road. The surface roads should enforce the same
rules against passengers standing on the platforms
of the cars. when they are In motion. Tor IL pre-
proper iugress and egreSs to the cars Kan,
roads outside of the cities not so severely taxed
at certain hours OF the day as those OF the cities
are: they better gauge the number OF cars re-
CURED for all kinds OF traffic at all hours. .>,
