DEFAcED BALLOTS.

A GAIN we have The question of large num-
y Der of defaced and rejected ballots. II is
not definitely known how many ballots were
thrown out by the election officers on Saturday.
The lowest estimate we have heard is ten to
district which would make nearly 900 lost bal
lots in the entire city Other estimates place
the number Of discarded ballots as high as 1000.
Probably figures ranging between these num-
bers would hit the mark Some Republicans
think that most of the rejected ballots were
those of Republican voters
1t is thus seen from the figures that large
percentage Of the citizens lost their votes. The
fate of the election may have depended on these
rejected ballots. There were no voters assist
ants at the CITY election and this may account for
the large number OF improperly marked ballots.
We have also heard it said that some voters who
did not care about having their ballots counted,
but who wanted at the same time to show that
they had been at the polls deliberately mis-
marked their tickets knowing that they would
be thrown out. Some of the election officers
may have been more strict in excluding ballots
than others. It does not seem now that these
discarded ballots will be counted by any compe-
tent authority.
The city election again brings up the question
OF the present ballot law and the method of vot-
ing. THE JOURNAL, during the session OF
the Legislature strongly urged that the ballot
law be simpifed, that changes be made. Vari-
reason were advanced at that time and these
reasons are more pertinent today than ever.
Under the present ballot law the will of the peo-
pie that vote is not expressed. For some reason
they viii make mistakes. Voters have been
told time and again the proper method of mark
ing ballots, but some OF them do not, or will not
understand. In any election where there IS
much cutting of the ticket under the present
law, no matter how much instruction may be.
given. there will always be a large number of
discarded ballots. 1t does seem that If the pres
ent system is to be used there should be voters
assistants employed in city elections, but far
better plan would be to have a law which would
make voting simple and at the same time
secret that there could be but few improperly
marked ballots.
The Legislature should have changed the law.
We do not believe, however, that, at the last
sion there was any real effort to change the law.
The Democrats, of course will say that the law
MAS not changed because the Republicans would
not agree. They aid not agree to amendments pro-
posed by the Democrats it is true, but the Dem
ocrats might have suggested alterations that
would have been acceptable. The question of a
ballot law is one that should engage the atten-
ton Of the party leaders. There is no doubt IN
our mind but that the ballot law should be re-
formed.

NEW CASTLE, June 10.-Work at
the Deemer steel plant is being rushed

operation in the first part of October
Steelmen here say that every indics-

Tho Death Of Lille Cynthia.

New York Evening sun.
Cynthia. the little brown hen or Essex
county, in New Jersey. has gone TO roost
in the shadows. No longer can her per-
drisian form be seen in her accustomed
range, scratching biithely among the
flower-starred, dew-spangled heritage Of
Cedar Grove. wherein she was reckoned
easily the leading citizen. For she never
neglected that humber duty Of scarifying
the turf. after the manner OF all good
hens. even though her professional duties
engrossed a double share Of he useful
day.
1t Is now more than a year aio since
Little Cynthia began laying two eggs a
day. Her fame spread swiftly. but she
simply blushed and remained on her
job. Real estate agents grew rich, local
land owners bought bonds the whole COM
munity waxed fat, directly through the
undaunted ovulation Of Little Cynthia.
Commuters fiocked to Cedar Grove. bought
chickens and erected chicken houses in
every part of that fair cllage, all burn
ing with the generous hope that so mag
nlfcent an example might inspire their
own hens to equally glittering achieve
ment. But Il became apparent that Little
Cynthias duplexity Of action could be
credited to no mere influences of climate
surrounding. food or associates. As the
