lot for the one actually cast; it pre-
vents the extraction of ballots from
the box and the substitution of
others; it prevents tampering with
tally sheets; it prevents false counts.
Summing up the whole argument in
few terse sentences, he says:
Machinery may get out of order;
1t may be p%urposely disarranged; but
machinery does not lie, cheat or steal,
and it's errors are easily detected and
corrected. The voting machine, in
short, practically eliminates bribery,
insures an honest election count and
enters into no conspiracy with those
who would defraud the ballot. The
fate of the voting machine rests, as
it should rest, with the sovereign vot-
ers of the state, but the lovers of
good government and Of honest e.ec-
-tions should think calmly and DELHI
erately before they condemn an
agency more helpful to their cause
than a thousand unenforced statutes.
than a thousand unenforced Statutes
The opposition to the voting ma
chimes that comes from corruption-
lists, from bribers, from those cleo
ton officers who conspire to throw
out votes, and from the whole class
of men who prefer almost anything
to honest elections and fair counts,
may reasonably be considered a
strong argument in favor of the ma
chimes for manifest reasons. But
there are citizens of character, of in
telligence and of i~ncorruptible integ-
rity who object to the machines as
they are at present adjusted. Alden
Freeman, speaking before the Orange
PoliticalStudy Club, voiced the OBJ
iections of this class of citizens. They
would abolish party levers, make
every voter pick out and vote for his
own candidates, just as they now do
in Massachusetts with the regular
ballot; just as is recommended by
Governor Hughes, of New York, and
Governor Folk, of Missouri.
This would put the tsraight voter
and the independent voter on exactly
the same terms, giving one ma pref
erenc over the other. 1t would COM
pei each man to think a little-not
too much-in exercising his right to
vote. 1t would eliminate careless
ness; it would elevate the quality of
the vote. With these changes, which
have already been made in seven
states, the opposition of the indie
pendent voters to the voting machines
would disappear and the machine
would be practically perfect.
Governor Stokes practically sub
mits to the sovereign people Of New
Jersey this proposition: In view of
the fact that the voting machine
effects so many reforms. has so many
manifest advantages, will not enter
into any conspiracy to defraud the
people, and lis more. helpful to. their
cause that a thousand unenforced
statutes is it not to their interests
10 accustom themselves to it's use
ind to give it a fair trial upon its
merits? Is it not better to sacrifice
|1heir convenience for a time than TO
sacrifice their elections for number
less years to come? The people of
New Jersey will find it to their inter-
ssts to give this proposition their
most careful, unbiased and in~telligenf
consideration. Newark Evening

Congressman John j. Gardner is
the latest to declare in favor of John
f. Dryden to succeed himself in the
United States senate. 1t is strange,
but it seems that everybody wants
Dryden but the people. Perhaps the
republican politicians will realize
later that it is best to be governed
by those who cast the ballot rather
than by their own desires all the
time.

states, the circulars are more or less

Last year, after having my little

l rcsorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cutlcura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
ak weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
In July Of ths year q little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty.foUr
hours his hands and arms were a mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies. washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cutcura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have

HORACE AUSTIN-Was born in
Connecticut in 1881, he learned the
blacksmith trade from his father who
was blacksmith.
He studied law in the state of
, Maine, and in the year 1856 removed
! to Minnesota, coming to st. Peter IN
Nicollet county in 1857.
He was captain of cavalry COM
pany in the Sioux Indian war, and
was present at the hangling of the
thirty eight Sioux Indians at Man
kato in December, 1862.
Mr.. Austin served as Judge of this
,, district from January lst, 1865, to
September 30th, 1869, when he became
,, a candidate for governor on the repub-
, lican ticket, to which office he was
that fall elected, being reelected in
! the fall of 1871, serving as governor
with marked distinction and ability
for four years.
After the expiration of his second
+. term Judge Austin retired to private
/ life, living in the city of Minneapolis
and vicinity.
He died November 7th, 1905, at the
city of Minneapolis, as result of a
critical surgical operation.
! Judge Austin was one of the most
! respected public officers of this state.
| Judge Austin was an able lawyer
and conscientious and just judge.
| While to- those but little acquainted
with him he at times seemed somewhat
, cold and austere, yet in fact, he was
warm hearted, congenial and affection
ate, very socially inclined, but being
educated, evidently, to think that a
judge, SO frequently called upon to
pass upon contentious between man and
man, should not court nor encourage
too intimate familiarity by anyone,
at times he seemed to repel friendly
advances
! Judge Austin showed the material of
which he was made, and his broad
sense OF common honesty, when dur
ing his term as governor, and in spite
OF the entreaties, threats and animad-
versions of a crowd of hungry politi-
