The IIonest Ballot.

Although the recount Of the mayoral-
" vote in New York city showed that
there bad not been extensive frauds
committed In favor OF the candidate
who WINS declared elected, the result
of the recanvass strengthens the belief
that our ballot and election system Is
IN need OF Improvement. In hundreds
OF cases It was difficult to tell offhand
what the intention OF the voter had
been. This uncertainty threw out
many ballots and perhaps led to the
misplaclng Of as many more. And
vet the election for the municipal offi.
GERS IN 1905 was closely guarded by
several rival interests,
Many Of the measures suggested for
the reform Of the ballot are opposed
by the people ON the ground that they
interfere with the right Of the voter
This relates more particularly to the
forms OF ballot which call for high
degree OF intelligence In the voter to
express his will The simpler the bal
lot the easier II Is to deposit Illegal
votes. II seems that a certain amount
Of corrupt aud illegal voting win take
place anyway. To countoract the In
iiuence OF such an impure vote the
honest and the intelligent voter should
DO extra jealous about placing his
own ballot where he wants II to count
II all the clean vote Is polled Il may
still be possible to declare clean
majority In spite OF the Ignorance OF
a few and the dishonesty Of many.

NORTON. Va, July SO.-Repre-
sentative Bascomb Slemp will be re-
nominated for congress from the
Ninth Virginia district by acelama-
ton at the republican convention cali
ed here today for that purpose.
MIR. Slemp was elected last year

father. the late Col. Campbell Slemp.
occupying the only republican seat
In either house of the United States
congress from the Old Dominion,
There IL little opposition to him from
within his own party. and 1t now
seems probably that the democrats
will not put out candidate against
him.
Representative Slemp will wage a
vigorous fight for Taft and the re-
publican ticket in Virginia this year,
and Is sanguine of the election OF
Taft and sherman. He is the chair

THE BRYAN OF TODAY.

The Bryan of today, who is for the
third time leading the democratic
hosts toward victory. is not the Bryan
OF twelve years ago and yet he Is
the same. lie has the same deter
mlnation and the same spirit OF re-
form In political economy, the same
stability and determination to stand
iirmly for the principles in which he
believes. lie is not the same in
point of immaturity and lack OF ex-
perience which Is gained only from
contact with the world. Twelve
years have added to his age and In
that time thirty years of experience
were added to his life. He has trav-
eled around the world and had much
business experience, his Judgment Is
more mature and he Is in many ways
better qualified TO hold the Office of
president than before. lie is better
known aud enjoys the confidence OF
the people and OF the business inter-
ests OF the country in a degree never
before reached and we believe will
probably be elected the next presi-
dent.
Reports from the middle west and
from other sections of the country
indicate a strong tendency toward the
Bryan ranks. Such states as Iowa
Minnesota and Wisconsin are beine
placed In the doubtful column b,
conservative judges. and Nebraska
is sure TO be for Bryan on account
Of his local popularity. Indiana Ii
counted on and the south will pre-
sent solid column for the grea
commOner. All of these things tenC
to show that the drift 10 toward dem
ocracy and this year will find MANY
recruits In Its ranks.

OYSTER BAY, July 3O.-"Presl-
dent Roosevelt is very much pleased
with the present situation OF the
country in general" said one OF the
participants IN the conference at sag
amore Hill, as he was about to de-
part for oyster Bay. He explained
that the president is taking nothing
for granted, and Is anxiouss to see
the party everywhere working its
hardest for the election Of Taft.
For over three hours yesterday the
president was In conference with Tim
othy l.. Woodruff, chairman of the
New York state republican commit
tee, and Francis B. LOOMS of Ohio.
The general political situation in the
country was discussed by the presi-
dent and his visitors. Very little
more than this could be learned after
| the conference was over. Mr.. Wood
run said they had talked over the
national political situation and dis
cussed the state situation only SO
far as 1t had bearing on the ma
tional situation. He said that the
candidacy of Governor Hughes for
denomination was talked over the
same as other possible candidates for
nomination. The president had told
them, he said, that he would not in
terfere in local politics. Mr.. Wood
RUIZ declared that he had not come to
Oyster Bay to talk with the president
regarding the candidacy of Governor
Hughes.
MIR. Loomis said he had been asked
to come to Oyster Bay to talk over
the national situation with the presi-
dent. He had informed Mr.. Roose-
welt regarding the situation in his
home state, Ohio. He believed the
outlook was very favorable. Mr..
LOOMS is one of the American COM
missioners to the japanese exposition

for Japan in September by the way

LOOMS said. AS minister to Vene
zuela for three years, Mr. LOOMS
became well acquainted with Presi
dent Castro and his methods. HI
said it seemed very much as if Vene
zuela was looking for trouble, bu

States to take definite action in re

POSTPONE BOND REDEMPTIoN.
May Result in Creating New Cam
paiRn Issue.

palRn Issue.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.--A new
issue may arise in the coming presi-
Dental campaign, owing to the al
legged decision Of Secretary Cortel-
you TO postpone the redemption of
che per cent. Spanish war bonds
when they fall due day after tomOr-
row. II is stated on good authority
that Mr.. Cortelyou, for various rea-
sons, has decided to allow the bonds
to run on for an indefinite period be-
fore redeeming them or refunding
them into per cent bonds. 1t is
certain that such course, II finally
decided upon, will result In a good
deal OF criticism and that the Oppon-
ents OF the administration will not
overlook the opportunity for making
political capital out of 1t. 1t is al
legged on behalf of Secretary Cortel-
you that the bonds cannot be refund
ed to good advantage at this time,
and that he does not consider 1t ad-
yisable to purchase them for the sink
ing fund.
There are about S65, 900, 900 of the
bonds outstanding, a total of nearly
5000, 000 600 having been issued dur
ing the Spanish war to run ten years,
with the privilege of being extended
another ten years. Most of the bonds
are in the hands of the treasurer OF
the United States in trust as security
for the circulation of national banks
To continue them after Aug. / will
necessitate the payment OF close to
100000 year in interest. Con.
verted into 2 per cent bonds. which
the secretary has authority to do, the
annual interest charge would be ST..
| 100000. Paid off altogether the
government would be saved further
interest.
II Is regarded as practically GER
tainty that the democratic campaign
management, probably Mr.. Bryan
himself, will crlticise the failure t
pay off the bonds. II they should b.
left outstanding after Aug. /. Sec
Rotary Cortelyou's reasons for delay
ing their purchase are said to b.
numerous. but the democratic crit
icism will be based upon the plail
allegation that the government ha
plenty of cash on hand to pay then
of, thus retiring the bonded indebt
erness, and that they are continue,
for the benefit of the national banks
The working balance of the treas
ury at this time is $64, 100000. Tina
Is, the vaults contain that much mon
ey, not in use, except to meet dali
expenditures, which are at presen
largely in excess of revenues. Tn
$64. 100000 will meet deficits TO
many weeks to come, as well as man
months. But the treasury has
large available cash balance in nation
al bank depositaries. These institu
ton now hold $13S.777, 462 of gov
} eminent money, besides another $11
100000 as balances for disbursln
officers, The banks could be Gale
upon without serious detriment Q
this time, II is pointed out, for SUI
ficient money to pay OF the 8 pc
cent, IL refunding was not considered
Every day the treasurer is maxim
advances out of its cash to the Par
anna canal. and II is simply questio
of waiting for propitious occasio
before putting more Panama bone

due and to provide funds for contiI

There seems to be no doubt that the

Reduction Of postage on correspond

The Gamma.

Deep planting will often be sufficient
as the stalk has the support of the
soil around it. Good, rich sandy loan
and plenty Of water are required. AS
soon as the spikes get to blooming
we'll they may be cut and put in water
when they will continue to grow and
bloom as we'll as in the ground.
The Gamma in the large sorts is very
pretty and snowy For tropical effect
we have few plants that equal it. The
large fowered sorts, as "Alleniani,"
italia" Austria" "Burbank," "Phila-
delphia," pennsylvania" and others,
are exceedingly fine. The foliage is in
different colors, so one can have quite
a variety.
Carnas should be planted some
where in the background, for they
grow SO rank they hide other things
Their blooms are rather coarse, too,
SO they do not combine we'll with 9TH
er flowers, or do we'll for cut flowers
unless used in large bouquets and with
large ferns or leaves. Nature shows
this by giving the plant large leaves
and tall stems.
Do not let them go to seed if you
Iwant a long season of bloom The old
bare stems left after the bloom falls
look ragged and bad, and should be
cut out at the ends. Do not cut out
the whole stalk, for it will send out
a blooming branch from each joint
until the whole stalk is exhausted.
Then it, too, should be cut out.
