VOTING MACHINES.

A good deal has been said and writ ten within the past few years about voting machines. It was claimed for them that they would very much ex- pedite voting. that they would enable the result of the vote to be announced, properly tabulated, within very short time after the polls were closed. both of which were desirable objects, but the strongest and most invaluable fea- ture claimed for such machines was
 that they would absolutely preserve the secrecy of the ballot. To vote with speed and certainty, to have the vote ready to announce almost Immediately on, the closing of the polls and to make it impossible for any one to tell how the votes stood were three important objects to be attained and it was con- hdently claimed that voting machines would accomplish all of them.
 Now the news comes from Pennsyl- vania town that this last claim for the machine is not well founded. And to begin with, if any scheme can be found anywhere to get around the secrecy or purity of the ballot we might look for it in that State. However, as that is a self-evident proposition we need not discuss 1t. The point of interest is that from Riverton, Pa, it is an- nounced that the discovery has been made that a keen-eared observer can listen to the clicking of the machine as the votes are recorded and tell al- most exactly how the vote is going. The announcement is also made that the machines are to be discarded and the old system of voting re-adopted.
 This is a disturbing report, and if it Is true there it may be true of all other mechanical voting devices. There is nothing improbable about it, we should say. A telegrapher listens to the ticking of his instrument and read fly reads the message that is passing over 1t. and 1t may be that the sound made by the voting machines can be interpreted in the same manner. If so there can be no secrecy of the bal lot from the use of voting machines. and that will do much to discredit them. One of the desirable objects to be obtained through the secret ballot 1t that one person may not know how another has voted, and as we have said that was one of the claims made for the machines. But we may as well
