The promotion Of Brigadier General
THOMAS II. BARRY TO the vacancy made by
the retirement Of Major-General CHARLES
b. HALL will please the army, and it is justi-
fed by the excellent work that General
BARRY has done in Cuba az commander Of
the Army Of Pacihcation. His troops are
trained to the hour for an emergency, in
Cuba or elsewhere; and their behavior under
trying circumstances has been admirable.
Owing 70 climatic conditions and frequent
practice marches they are more At than any
other equal force Of American soldiers.
Whatever may be said in behalf Of other
candidates for the vacancy. General BAR
RVS services in the Philippines. where he
was chief Of staff, and also in the Boxer
campaign, had proved him an able soldier
before he was ordered to Cuba. His last
report was one OF the best that a depart
ment commander has written for some
time.
General BARRY's promotion should please
this city, where he was born in 1855. He
attended the public schools and the College
Of the City Of New York before going to
West Point. In the army it is considered
a compliment to his birthplace to refer to
him as the 1Bowery boy General BARRY

There is no valid reason for the surprise
caused by the duping Of Coney Island ma

only value was in the instruction they gave

4 Fox Tran for Voters.

Before the adoption in this State Of the
Constitution Of 1894, which is now in
force, all elections by the citizens were
required to be by ballot, except for such
town officers as might by law be directed
to be otherwise chosen.
The Constitution Of 1894 contains the
following provision as TO the manner Of
voting: "All elections by the citizens,
except for such town officers as may by
law be directed to be otherwise chosen,
shall be by ballot, or by such other
method as may be prescribed by law,
provided that secrecy in voting be
preserved
Under the last clause Of this provision
II Ia permissible for the Legislature to
allow or indeed prescribe the use Of voting
machines, and this power has been exer-
cised in reference to many localities in
the State. notably in the cities Of Buffalo
and Elmira.
Much diversity Of opinion has been
provoked as to the utility and accuracy
Of voting machines in these localities,
and we find on the one hand earnest
advocates of their Use and on the other
those who condemn them in unmeasured
terms and declare that they cannot be
relied upon as registering the true choice
of the electors. For several years past
the results in Chemung county, in which
Elmira is situated, have been so unsat-
isfactory that a demand has been made
there for a change in the law, and to
this end a bill was introduced in the
Legislature and was passed by the As
sembly on Tuesday which amends the
voting machine law in many important
particulars.
In the course Of the debate on this
Measure Mr.. PALMER Of Schoharie, the
Democratic leader, said that no one who
went in and pulled the lever Of the voting
machine knew whom he voted for or
whether he had voted at all. On the other
hand, Mr.. PHILLIPS Of Allegany county,
where the machines are in use, defended
their operation as being satisfactory in
all essential respects, and asserted that
the pending bill would perfect the law
90 a. 10 avoid all the liability TO error Of
which complaint has recently been made.
A strong argument against the voting
machines was made by Colonel DAVID
c. ROBINSON Of Elmira, son Of the late
Governor LUCIUs ROBINSON, who gave
the Assembly a bit Of his personal en-
psr!snce, We quote from the report Of
the debate:
