A SMALL VOTE.

A town meeting at Norwich on Tuesday last decided against accept ing voting machines and appropriat- ing $6,000 for the purchase of them. by a vote of 237 to 157. While for a town meeting vote that was decisive. yet the entire vote of 394 was small for a city in which the full vote on national affairs is over 5000. This illustrates what the Meriden Record says, referring to a town meeting in that place: Town meetings are queer things You never know which way they will jump.'' It is not impossible nor improba ble that another Norwich town meeting. called within week, might entirely reverse the action Q. Standard.
 the one of Tuesday last.-Bridgeport
 There is no doubt another town meeting would reverse the action of the annual town meeting, because the interest of all the people in this sub iect has been aroused by this action of the few. Under our political sys- tenn, matters not determinable at the ballot box are settled by a small mi nority of the voters. 1t must be con- fessed that the settlement of an issue of this importance by eight per cent of the voters eligible doesn't speak we'll for the intellectual interest and political activity of freemen.
 The Standard says further:
 Speaking of the action of the towN meeting of Tuesday. the Norwich Bul letin says: Voting machines are com ing The waves of the ocean cannot be swept back with broom an6 The Record remarks: Voting ma chimes will come in time, but the pity of it is that we cannot enjoy the full benefits of such an admirable mediufg of clean and accurate voting right away" We imagine that these senti- ments better reflect public opinion in the city than did the action of the town meeting which rejected the machines

Lawlessness and vice are charged
against a community as we'll as
against a home. There is no escap-
ing the responsibility. We are not
responsible for the conditions that
prevail in the home, but we are re-
sponsible for the conditions that pre-
vail in the community and these
should be just as good as we can make
them.
Personally, the writer, and as a
newspaper, the Review, both are in
favor of we'll considered curfeW or
dinance, for it is felt that the conser
walton of our youth is more import
ant than any other civic question con
fronting us. More important than
good roads, or a good opera house, OF
any other matter before the people
| 1t is for the reason that We favor

We believe such towns would bring
more business to new road than the
same number of new "jerk-water" sta

whose trade avenues are already es-
tablished. The coming of a third
road to Denison would give fresh i'm
petus to a town that already does a
large business. Were the traffic even
ly divided, we believe one-third of the
trade of Denison, the new DenisOn
whose growth would be accelerated by
the coming of the road, would greatly
exceed the ENTIRE traffic of some
new store-and-elevator town which
might be established along different
route. In the early days of railroad

for railroads to get as far from each

THE CHINESE REPUBLIC.

The most portentious event of the
present century is the popular upris-
ing in China. Whether the revolution
lists are successful or not, a new day has
dawned for the Celestial Empire. For
centuries this great country has been
in an almost comatose condition. The
progress and discoveries of the west
ern world, the hurrying rush of mod
ern thought, the electric life of the
awakened minds of men, seemed to
have passed China by. 1t slept, not as
the babe sleeps in the cradle, but as
the old crone sleeps by the fire, nod
ding and dreaming of the things OF
the past. But China has awakened,
the dead has come to life, the sleep
of age has gone and in it's place we
find rugged, stirring people thrilling
with the red blood of revolution. II
such revolution were to come in
France or Germany or England it
would mean little or nothing to the
rest of the world, but new China
means new condition throughout the
earth A giant has reused Four hun
dred millions of people. Nearly five
times the population of the United
States proper. A people of strong con-
stitution, Injured to hardships and pri-
walton, accustomed to scale of liv-
ing which no Caucasian would endure.
With China as republic or as con-
stitutional monarchy, with the rights
of the individual respected, with op-
preston removed, with the arousing
OF ambition and self-confidence and
progress which always follow on the
heels of revolution, how much longer
will this great nation be content to
be the football of the nations? How
much longer will it allow itself to be
treated as an alien race? How long
