The Tribune has prepared a neat
souvenir pamphlet containing1 the offi
cial returns of last week's election lh
Lackawanna county, by district
Copies of this may be had for the ask
ing, by application at the business office.-
As to Election Contests.
It is entirely Improbable that a con
test for the sheriff's office,- like that
which Is soon to be begun by Mr.
Bailey, will alter the result of last
week's election. Mr. Clemons, the
Bherift-elect, under a law drafted by
one of the Democracy's foremost local
leaders, will qualify and fulfil the du
ties of the position while the contest is
pending; and even though he should
lose in the final decision a supposition
which we honestly believe to be almost
Incredible he would In all probability,
before the end of the contest could be
reached, have served a greater portion
of his term, leaving to his competitor
only a barren victory.
Upon the other hand, following the
precedents in election contests in this
county, it he should be confirmed In his
office and In all candor we may say
that, knowing as we do something of
the Inner facts in this case, we have not
the vestige of a doubt of It the net
result would be that the county would
be saddled with a big bill of expense;
the contestant, Mr. Bailey, would be
out of pocket, out of time and out of
office, all in one; and the Republican
sheriff-elect, who, under the law would
originally qualify in any event, would
simply be bothered In the discharge of
his official duties, to no purpose and to
no avail.
Only the specific knowledge of mate
rial Illegality and fraud Justifies the
waging of so costly a contest. These
contests, under any circumstances, are
of doubtful expediency. Admitting that
there Is often apparent provocation to
them, the expense which they entail
upon the county expense not only In
. the direct cash outlay necessitated by
them, but also In the general uncer
tainty and disturbance which they In
troduce In the administrative processes
of the county government Is Inva
riably a heavy price to pay. If the pro
cesses of original fraud prevention be
Insufficient to secure fair elections, It
should be the duty of legislation to
work toward better safeguards; the
process of reform by means of after-
election contests, while justifiable In ex
treme cases, is in the majority of In
stances to be deplored rather than en
couraged.
It Is said that on Monday President
Cleveland will extend the oivll service
rules over Internal revenue employes
less with a desire to Improve the ser
vice than to keep Democrats In office
after 1896. This, by the way. Is usually
as far as the beautiful theory of civil
service goes, under our system of chang
ing politics.
Voting by Machinery.
! If the object of ballot reform be to se
cure bb much accuracy In voting, as
possible, In the shortest possible time,
we do not see how ballot reformers can
consistently object to the use of labor
saving ballot reform machinery. It Is
already a demonstrated fact In the
counting room that adding machines
are more accurate than bookkeepers;
and upon the same principle why
should not a voting machine be prefer
able to the fallible individual ballot
marker?
Perhaps most of our readers have
already heard of the Myers ballot ma
chine, about which there is just now so
much talk In New York state. The new
constitution adopted last week gives
the legislature power to authorize the
use of this machine whenever It shall
appear that the people so desire. The
machine Itself la an Interesting study,
A writer in the Bun succinctly describes
Has follows:
To all outward appearance the machine
Is nothing more than a sheet-Iron box
five feet square and Beven feet high. It
has two doors In the front, one for the en
trance of the voter and the other for his
exit after he has registered a freeman's
will. On entering the box the voter finds
himself fully enclosed from prying eyes,
for there Is a roof over the booth, which
is lighted from within. At the baok of the
booth the voter sees several rows of knobs
In parallel, perpendicular rows occupy
ing airaoBt the entire back wall. Each
of these rows Is reserved to the candi
dates of a particular party who are to be
Voted for. The party designation will be
xounu at tho top of each row of knobs,
and opposite each knob will be found the
name of the candidate to be voted for.
If the voter cannot read, he can recognise
his party candidates by the distinctive
oolor of the paper on which the names are
printed. Provision is made for the strict
party man who wants to vote the straight
ticket,. which Is the easiest thing to do in
, the Myers voting machine, as It is by any
mode of voting yet devised.- By pulling a
lever at the top of the column of knobs
one vote Is cast for every candidate of the,
party. At the same time all the other
levers and the knobs are locked and If tho
voter should remain In the box all day he
couldn't cast another vote.' In voting for
individual candidates the pressing In of
the knob opposite the name of the candi
date (for mayor, for instance) would lock
the knobs of every other candidate for
mayor, so that there would be no danger
of anybody's voting twice for mayor.
When the voter leaves the booth by the
exit ' door all of the levers and knobs are
released by the action of the door, and the
booth Is ready for another voter. Outside
the booth the voter will find a chart rep
resenting the position of the knobs and
their relation to. the candidates, which
will assist him very materially In record
ing his dos'lres'when he gets Inside. Sim
ilar charts can be used by the politlcul
poll workers in instructing their friends.
Only a blind man would be incapable of
voting with the machine, but he might
have assistance, the law so providing. So
much for the voter's part. The machine
dons the rest. Back of those long row
of levers and knobs is a shallow box fitted
Into the back- of the booth, which con
tains the counting machinery, which Is
worked when the levers are pulled or the
knobs pushed by the voters. This auto
matic counting arrangement is similar to
that of the automatic cash register, or a
better comparison, perhaps, would be the
counting machines which registers thfl
number of newspapers run oft by a prun
ing press, or the fare registers on a street
car. This counting machinery Is protect
ed by a door which cannot be opened ex
cept by the inspectors of election after the
voting is done and tnen tne canvass oi
the vote is practically completed. The ex
act vote cast for every candidate will bo
indicated by the machines. Should the
tally of voters who entered the booth kept
by the election Inspectors and poll clerks
not agree with the machine, the conclu
sion would be that fallible man was mis
taken, and that the machine's record was
accurate.
One objection to Myers' machine is
Its cost. Each apparatus costs $250.
But thlB objection Is met by the asser
tion that one machine would do the
work of two election' districts as at
present constituted, while It would do
away altogether with the expensive
item jof ballot printing and with a num
ber df the election officials required, for
example, under our Baker law. So far
a the opportunities for fraud are con
cerned; honors are apparently even.
We do not believe that any known sys
tem wholly obviates fraud. But a
proper method of voting by machinery
might. lessen It,. Inasmuch as it would
reduce the deotectlve work in each dis
trict to the comparatively simple prob
lem of watching each machine, Instead
of several dozen men. The "machine"
in politics has already demonstrated
Its deterlty, and It may yet require a
real machine to checkmate it.
We sincerely trust that If New Tork
really desires to proffer a testimonial
to Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, it will come to
a decision with greater haste than
marked the progress of its monument
to General Grant.
Third Party Progress.
The revised official count indicates
that the total vote for Hawley, Prohibi
tion candidate for governor, will ap
proximate 20,000, which is 12,000 less
than the high water mark recorded by
the candidacy of Charles S. Wolfe.
While this vote is a handsome one, un
der the circumstances, we do not see
that it sustains the hope of those who
expect the Third party to attain nation
al prominence as a competitive factor
in American politics.
. In this connection, we observe in the
Wllkes-Barre Record a letter from Km
mett D. Nichols in which the assertion
Is. made that "in 1872 the Prohibition
vote was 5,607 in the nation; In 1876 it
was 9,737; in 1880 it was 10,366; in 18S4 It
was 150,626; in 1888 It was 249,945; In 1892
It was 270,813; In 1893 the states aggre
gated 300,000, and I dare say this year It
Is still more. The Wine and Spirit Ga
zette, a prominent journal published In
New York in the interest of the liquor
trade, recently declared that there were
at least 500,000 votes cast for the Prohi
bition party in this nation In 1888. That
Journal no doubt had some grounds for
making such a declaration; What hope
would one of the old parties have of
getting an honest count if all the elec
tion boards were composed of members
of the other party? That is the posi
tion of the Prohibition party at present.
The election boards are in the hands of
our enemies almost entirely, and while
we have some honest boards, yet there
are many boards, who are none too hon
est to throw out our vote, and we have
strong evidences that such despicable
tricks are often practiced Upon us. Of
course we believe that a vote cast for
principle is never lost."
This is a plausible statement of the
case; but can it be regarded as thor
oughly satisfactory? If the Prohibi
tion party were, as its advocates claim,
the coming party, would It require ten
years to double Its vote? The history
of the Republican party, with which
the Prohibition party is frequently
compared, contains no- such record of
lethargy, It bounded by giant strides
Into the national arena and in a decade
grew faster than the Prohibition parti
san movement has grown in more than
a score of years. Even the Populists,
in less than a decade, have trebled the
growth of the Prohibitionists. The
loyalty which adheres to principle even
against hopeless odds Is to be commend
ed and admired. But we are yet unable
to see, upon the face of the returns,
Just what our third party friends hope
to accomplish by remaining together
as a small minority party.
We notice, with pleasure, that the
conference of departmental heads at
Harrlsburg Thursday adopted, sub
stantialjy without amendment, the bill
for state forestry reservations prepared
by Dr. Rothrock. It also approved a
bill drafted by President Ford, of tho
state fishery commission, to preserve
the purity and prevent the pollution of
the waters of the commonwealth. Wo
do not have before us the text of this
bill; but the assertion that it does not
bear unjustly on any business enter
prise Is Important If true. The urgent
need of such preservation is not open
to argument ; but it will require careful
pilotage to avoid conflict with pollut
lng Interests.
In 1893, an" off" year, Ames,' Prohibi
tion candidate for Judge of the Penn
sylvan la supreme court',' polled 21,470
votes. Last week, in an exciting gu
bernatorial year, Hawley, Prohibition
candidate for governor, according to
the People, the state Prohibition organ,
polled 22,821 votes, a gain in one year of
only 1,361 votes,' Baying nothing of the
natural Increase in tbe Republican vote
la Pennsylvania, from year to year,
which Is even more rapid,, proportion
ally, than the total gain In the Prohlbl
tion vote, it would, at the foregoing
rate, take something like three and
two-thirds centuries for the Prohibition
party to become a majority party In
this commonwealth. Figures .some
times are stubborn things, but they are
worth noticing. " '
The fact that Scranton's water sup
ply Is officially indorsed as the best in
the country Is another feather in the
cap of our proud pre-eminence. With
this happy circumstance In mind, there
Is less excuse than ever left for neglect
ing to drink It.
Even the most uncompromising friend
of the West Lackawanna viaduct must
admit that the city should not blindly
take a leap in the dark. The question
of damages should be definitely settled
before new debt Is contracted.
The cleanly appearance of Pine street
between Qulncy and Clay avenues, or
where the new asphalt paving has been
completed, is an Impressive admonition
to the other cross streets on the hill not
to get out of fashion.
The wife of the repudiated Populist
governor of Colorado says women were
bribed to vote the Republican ticket
by offers of chewing gum. Where was
Walte's confectionery pull?
With moderate speed In the numerous
preliminaries, the Swetlund street
bridge ought to become a visible fact
long before this date in '95.
A material Improvement Is noticeable,
of
late, In the quality of Republican
headgear.
CHATS BY THE WAY.
There are a good many playgoers these
days who are quite ready to agree with
the sentiment thus expressed by W. S. Gil
bert In one of the songs in his new opera,
His excellency :"
Quixotic Is his enterprise, and hopeless
nis adventure Is,
Who seeks for jocularities that haven't
yet been Baid.
The world has Joked Incessantly for over
imy centuries.
And every Joke that's possible has long
ago been made.
I started as a humorist with lots of men
tal flzzlness.
But humor Is a drug which it's the
fashion to abuse: -
For my stock In trade, my fixtures, and
tne good-win or the business
No reasonable offer I am likely to re
fuse. And If anybody choose
He may circulate the news
That no reasonable offer I am likely to
refuse.
Oh, happy was the humorist the first
that made a pun at all
Who, when a Joke occurred to him,
however poor and mean,
Was absolutely certain that It never had
been done at all
How popular at dinner must that hu
morist have been!
Oh, the days when some stepfather for
the query held a handle out,
The door-mat from the scraper, is it
distant very far?
And when no ohe knew where Moses was
when Aaron put the candle out,
And no one had discovered that a door
could be a-jar!
But your modern hearers are
In their tastes particular,
And they sneer If you inform them that
a door can be a-Jar!
In search of quip and quiddity I've sat all
duy, alone, apart
And all that I could hit on as a problem
was to find
Analogy between a scragg of mutton and
a Bony-part,
Which offers slight employment to the
speculative mind;
For you cannot call it very good, how
ever great your charity
It's not the sort of humor that Is
greeted with a shout
And I've come to the conclusion that the
mine of Jocularity,
In the present Anno Domini is worked
completely out!
Though the notion you may scout,
I can prove beyond a doubt
That the mine of Jocularity Is utterly
worked out!
Local huntsmen will peruse with pleas
ure this interesting paragraph from the
Wilken-Barre Leader: "There are deer In
clone vicinity. A fine buck was seen back
of Dulton, and bear have been noted on
the Bowman's creek watershed and In the
swamps that abound In the fastness of the
Lehigh range. The number of foxes shot
within the past week shows that reynard
is keeping up his progeny. Tho wlldsat Is
abundant on the Lehigh and Mooslc
mountains, one hunter alone In the past
four years shot 259 foxes, 300 wildcats or
catamounts and a large number of skunks.
The skins of the fox are worth from 25 to
50 cents. New wlldsat skins sell for 50
cents to $1, aocording to size, and for
skunks a good demand will place the pelt
at J1. Notwithstanding the aggression of
civilization the wilds of Luzerne, Lack
awanna, Wayne, Monroe and Sullivan
counties are full of game of the wildest
sort, and the woods will be full of hunt
erg from now on until the season closes.
The markets are crowded already with
Bmaller game, and later In the season
there will be deer and bear meat galore."
It will be welcome news to wheelmen
that the big cycle companies will In all
probability numo $100 as the standard
price for 1895 models. One of these compa
nies the Rambler firm In Chicago has
already made this announcement; and it
would be singular, indeed, lr Its compet
itors in high grade goods did not follow
its example. The raw material In an
average bicycle costs less than $8. The
labor in making It costs less than 22. And
the remaining $95 represents freight tolls,
advertising, commissions and profits. The
cost of the bicycle Is bound to come
down. You can put It down as a sure
thing that Inside of twenty-five years the
best wheels will go begging at 50 apiece.
.
Up to date, Editor Blngerty'g emphatic
demand for a new leadership In the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania has not been
honored by a spontaneous response.
Neither Is It altogether clear that Becre
tary Harrlty is yet under any obligation
to proffer hi resignation as boss. In
deed, those of Hnrrlty's friends who may
be supposed to know, Intimate that the
hopeful secretary of the commonwealth
believes the late candidate for governor
Is merely doing some more loud "talking
through his hat."
POLITICAL POINTS.
Senator Quay wU toddy return to
Beaver. .
The appointment of Lewis E. Beitler,
of Philadelphia, as Governor Hastings'
private secretary Is regarded by all tha
prophets as a foregone conclusion.
Senator (Porter, 'Of Philadelphia, de
clares that City Solicitor Warwick does
not wish to be Governor Hastings' attor
ney general. His gun is loaded for may
oralty honors.
An effort will be made by John Craig, of
Rldgway, to unseat William Hyde, the
Democrat, who was elected state senator
by 81 majority. In , the Thirty-eighth' dis
trict, composed of Elk, Clarion, Forest
and Camoron" counties. Cratg Is prepar
ing his papers. -
Judge Furst, of Bellefonte, has received
a letter signed by every member of tho
Center county bar urging him not to rt
sign before the expiration of his term,
which is Jan. 7, 1895. In response to the
letter and request the Judge has waived
his own personal Interests and agreed to
serve out his term.
Chairman 'Babcock, of the' Republican
congressional campaign committee, is of
the opinion that it would be wise to have
permanent Washington headquarters as a
rendezvous for. members of the party in
congress, where they could go to meet
one another In party .conference and
where they could also have a constant
supply of party literature on hand for the
use of Inquiring constituents and of facts
and figures . for the use of congressmen
themselves. Mr. Babcock will recommend
the making of the present headquarters
permanent.
If the Philadelphia Press is correctly in
formed, the work of making General Hast
ings' cabinet without consulting him may
become labor wasted. After noting In its
news columns that Senator Quay favors
Lyman D. Gilbert, of Harrlsburg, for sec
retary of the commonwealth, the Press
significantly adds: "Somo friends of Gen
eral Hastings say that he will not appoint
Mr. Gilbert uttorney general and that he
may upset the slates that are mado with
out consulting with him. They say
that when the time comes General Hast
ings will make his own choice of men for
attorney general and for secretary of the
commonwealth. Up to the present he has
not Indicated who he will appoint to these
otllce." Does this mean Colonel Lambert
for the state portfolio?
In the present house sits W. B. Eng
lish, a Democrat from the Third Cali
fornia district, who was seated on a con
test for the seat to which S. G. Hllborn,
Republican, was elected by 33 majority.
The unusual position taken In that case
In order to deprive a Republican of his
seat that affidavits of voters as to how
they eaut their ballots should be regarded
as superior evidence to the ballot them
selves actually produced, furnishes a pre
cedent through which every southern
Democrat whose seat in the next congress
is contested may be evicted from con
gress. It Is reported that the entire Dem
ocratic delegation from Virginia will be
challenged upon this ground and finally
turned down. The Republican congres
sional committee have already been noti
fied of thirteen contests one In Kentucky,
three in Louisiana, one In North Carolina,
one In Texas, one In Virginia and one In
Nebraska. There will be at least four
other contests from the south, probably
more than that.
