HARRIS. FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY, £. E. YOUNG. FOR CLERK OP COURTS, W. H. CAMPBELL. FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR, B. F. HILLIARD. The Party and tlie State. When the Republican party assumed the responsibility of government in Pennsylvania, some forty years ago, real estate, horses and cattle and all trades and professions were taxed for State purposes. If real estate were now taxed for State purposes as in 1860 the tax would amount to nearly $7,000,000 annually. In 1861 the State was over forty mil lions of dollars in debt. Last year the State was so nearly out debt that no appropriation whatever was made to the Aking fund. In ltt-SS the the respon sibility of paying half the expense to the several counties of caring for the indigent insane thus saving the tax payers of the State half a million a year. In t«9l an act was passed returning three-fourths of the personal property tax to the respective counties, and in the same year all of the revenues de rived from liquor licenses were given bick to the counties. The expense of the judiciary is also bjrue by the State. Besides this the State now appropri ates annually to the public schools the m ignificent sum of $5,500,000. Practically all of this revenue is de rived from corporation tax The taxpayers of Pennsylvania are, now receiving every' year from the State $9,550,000 for which Republican legisla tion is responsible, aa follows; For the public schools, $5,500,000; personal tax retarned, $2,000,000; liquor licenses, sl,- 000,000; support of judiciary, $550,000. An;l now we are asked to join hands with the Democrats in an attempt to disrupt the Republican party. Shall we do it'( Scarcvly. Some years ago when Quay nominat ed an improper person for Governor of the state, enough Republicans withheld their support to let him drop. They did right, and so far as Mr. Potter's nomi nation for the Supreme Bench is con cerned, this year, we have nothing to say. but the county nominations were made as fairly, this year, as they ever have been, and the county nominees are entitled to the united supi>ort of the party. Registration Reform. Senator Flinn's assertion that "through the carelessness of the regis ters and the inadequacy of our registra tion laws there are twenty-five or thirty per cent more names on the registers than there are people actually living in the various voting districts" is a start ling statement, tt comes rather late in the Senator's political career, bnt it is expert opinion of acknowledged author ity. Taken into consideration with the number of actual voters overlooked by the registers it practically demonstrates the worthlessness of the present system Personal jegistration has proved a safe guard around the ballot elsewhere. Why not here? The inconvenience to the individual voter is of slight mo ment compared to the resulting benefits. It would be idle to attempt the purifica tion of the election laws without cleans ing the source. Sound election reform Bhonld begin with the qualification of the voter. That seen to, the rest should follow in natural sequence.---Pittsburg Dispatch. A Voting Machine. While in Pittsburg, the other day, we looked at the voting machine, then on exhibition in the cigir store at corner of 6th Ave. and Sniithfield. The face of the machine presented a Baker ballott, such as we will vote this year, with a little metal indicator oppo site each name, and a brass handle at the top of each column, the turning of which voted a straight ticket. But if the elector did not wish to vote a straight ticket, he moved the indicator of each name he wished to vote, and the pushing back of the curtain with the handle attached registered a vote for each name so designated. The mechanism of the machine is somewhat similar to that of a cash reg ister —a "total adder" being attached to each name or indicator—and after the polls close, the number of votes for each candidate is indicated on the rear face of the machine the doors of which are closed while the polls are open. The man in charge of tho machine said they were worth a million dollars each, but that they were selling them at only $500; while our judgment was that they could be made in large num bers and sold at a profit for about one hundred. At their figures-it would cost this connty abont $30,000 to put in voting machines, and the whole state about $3,000,000; and if the amendment allow ing of it be adopted, the company could, we believe, spend a million getting the bill adopting them through the Legisla ture, and yet have a tremendous profit on tho job, and so, perhaps, it v.'ill be just as well to "go slow" on the second or smaller amendment to the Constitu tion submitted for our consideration, this year. Death of Czolgosz. In the State penitentiary at Auburn, N. Y , at 7:121 o'clock. Tuesday morn ing, Leon Czolgosz. murderer of Presi dent William McKinley, paid the ex treme penalty exacted by the law for hi-; crime. He was shocked to death by 1,700 volts of electricity. He went to the chair in exactly the same manner as have the majority of murderers in that State. showing no particular sign of fear, but, in fact, doing what few of them have done - talking to the witness es while he was being strapped in the chair. "I killed the President because he was an enemy of the good people of the j good working people. I aui not sorry for i»y crime.'' These were his words as the guards hurried him into a chair A moment later, mumbling through the half-adjusted face straps, he said "I am awfnlly sorry I ciuld not see my father." Czolgosz retired Monday night at 10 O'clock and slept so soundly that when Warden Mead went to the cell shortly before 5 o'clock Tuesday morning the gnard hi»ide had to shake Czolgosz to awaken him. lie sat up on the edge ol hi» cot and made no reply to the war den b greeting of "good morning." His body was thrown into a grave and covered v. h lime and all his ClotniDg aud other belongings burned. Personal Registration in our Cities. The possibility of laws being eu acted in Pennsylvania requiring per sonal registration ot voters makes in teresting a comparison of the election methods in this State and those of Sew York and other States in which personal registration is operative. New York has a registration law, and so also hr.a Massachusetts and several of the W stern States. From all accounts its adoption has proven beyond doubt the desirability of personal registration as a feature of the election laws. While the proposed Amendment to the Constitution of Pennsylvania wiil not work any immediate change in the laws, it will allow the Legislature in the future to enact an adequate per sonal registration law which will make registration frauds difficult if not en tirely impossible. Ansley Wilcox, at whose home in Buffalo Theodore Roosevelt had ad ministered to him the oath of office as President of the United States, in writ ing of the operation of the personal re gistration law in New York says: I know something abont the history and effect of our State laws requiring per sonal registration and I know that these have had a very good effect, largely tending to repress fraudulent registra tion, colonization of voters and similar crooked election work in our large cities. " In New York, the registry lists are compiled by officers appointed by the Police Commissioners. In each pre cinct there are four registration officers, who are also inspectors of elections. Not more than two can belong to the same political party. In Chicago, the Board of Election Commissioners select three persons for each election division, who serve as registering officers and judges of elections. They cannot all belong to the same party; they must be householders, citizens of the United States, able to read and write English, skilled in the four fundamental rules of arithmetic, of good understanding and capable, and they cannot hold any other office, national, state or local. In Bos ton there is a Board of Registrars, con sisting of the City Clerk and three other persons, —appointed by the Mayor, with the consent of the alderman; not more than two members of the Board cai be long to the same party. This board ap [>ointß for each ward four assistant reg istrars. who cannot all be of the same party. In Philadtlphia the registra tion officers, called assessors, are elected one for each division: there is no educa tional qualification and each assessor necessarily belongs to the dominant party in his division In New York the boundaries of all election precincts and the location of the places of registration and revision are publicly advertised and can be found in an official publication "The City Record." In Chicago the Board ot Election Commissioners must adver tise the registration and print the com pleted register, arranged by streets and numbers, to meet all demands. Upon application a copy is given to auy resident. In Boston lists are prepared for every precinct, giving each building in the city which is used as a residence in the order in which it stands—with the names, ages, and the occupations of the persons residing in it, on the first day of May. who have been assessed for a poll tax. These lists are printed in pamphlet form for public distribution. In Philadelphia there is no publication of the registration lists or of division boundaries for general distribution. The list for each division is to be found before elections on the door of the vot ing place, or in the case of a temporary polling booth, at the assessor's house, but there is no ready way of finding out where the voting place is or what are the boundaries of the division. In New York the registration begins four weeks, in Chicago five weeks and in Boston nine weeks before election. In all of these cities the lists can be corrected up to within two weeks of the day of voting. In Philadelphia the lists for the November election are made nearly six months in advance, and the day for correction in the case of both the November and the Febru ary elections is two months before elec tion day. In New York the registering boards sit four days, each of which, except the first, is a day revision. Electors must appear personally before the boards. The same is true for Chicago, pxcept that the last session is solely for revision. In Boston the registry list is based upon that of the poll tax assessors who make a house to house visitation, but no name can go upon tho registry list unless it appears upon the voting for the previous year, or the bearer of the name personally appears before a registration board and proves his quali fications, which include his ability to read and write In all of the above cities the revision of tho lists is guarded with scrupulous care and is made by boards, the members of which belong to different parties. These boards are also furnished with the names of persons deceased since the last election In Philadelphia the revision of lists is conducted by the same persons who prepared them. Each list is con octed by one man. There is no provision for informing him as to the names of per sons who have died in his division As an illustration of the character of the Philadelphia registration lists it may b3 noted that befoie the November election of one year about :>OOO names were struck from the assessor's lists, merely as a matter of mntuil agree ment between party leaders One ol' th* names registered happened to be that of a piifc dog It is idle to pursuade men to express certain opinions at the polls if illegal voting and dishonest counting be an easy matter. Honest men may differ as to the wisdom of supporting one party or the other. There are many things which touch politics, or are touched by politics, in regard to which good citizens have different ethical standards, but there can be only ore opiuiou among reputable men, \v:iiit ever their party, as to the duty of guarding the ballot-box with all pos sible care. If this has not been done in Pennsylvania, t > see that it is done becomes the duty of every well-wisher of this Commonwealth. Jucksville Notes.

I see some one signing himself Re publican" has a communication in the little sheet issued from East Cunning ham street, wailing over the case of George Graham. "Republi'-an! indeed The said communication shows the Democratic stamp in every letter and line from start to finish. A Democrat never finds the good qualities of a Re publican until after they are dead, or have become a sore-ht-ad or kicker, and have gone over to the Democratic party, the party that has been on the wrong side of every question from the founda tion of the Government up to the pres ent time. It took the Democrats thirty years to find on* that Lincohi was a great and good man. They did not know McKinley was a great man until lie was shot to death They seem to have overlooked George Graham, until he turned up in the Republican junk yard and finally rounded up in the Dem ocratic fold George Graham was fairly beaten bv Wm. H. Campbell by a small plurality. Campbell had been defeated three times at the primaries, bnt on each occasion he turned in and helped to elect the men who defeated him. Was George Graham ever impeached with doing so after his defeat"' Sup pose Mr. Graham had been the success ful candidate at the last primaries Would he consider it fair if Mr. Camp bell and his friends would turn in and try to defeat him? Surely not. Any man who cannot accept defeat grace fully had better keep out of politics and turn his attention to something that promises better results. I should think any decent self-respecting Democrat who believes in the principles of his party would shut his eyes while casting his vote for Mr. Graham or Mr. Coray. The Times correspondent complains about "Bosses." Who but the Demo cratic bosses forced James McKee off of the Democratic ticket, and put the name of George Graham thereon in stead. Surely it was not the men who cast the Democratic votes. Of what use is a nomination to any man or to a party if he is not honest enough to abide by the will of the majority. Mr. Gra ham's action shows most conclusively that no mistake was made when he wrs not appointed to the office made vacant by the death of Mr. W. P. Turner. Mr Graham, by his action in going over to the enemy, does not deserve any recog nition at the hands of Republican voteis. Why should any Republican cast his vote for Mr. Henninger ? What is the matter with Mr. YoungV In point of ability, he is the equal, if not the su perior, of Mr. Henninger? He is a vonug man of good moral character, temperate h alii is, and has always been a good, staunch Republican. His father has been a Republican from the foundation of the party and is yet. Mr. Young de serves the undivided support of every Republican voter. What would be gained to the Republican party by elect ing Mr. Henninger'.' Absolutely noth ing. The writer, with all good Republi cans, believes in the widest latitude be ing given to all candidates at the pri maries, and believes in a red hot scrap if necessary, and believes in the man who can hustle out his friends and get the most votes in a fair manner shonld deserve to win. Campbell and Young did this, were fairlv nominated and should l>e elected. Tliere should be no off years for Re publicans. Therefore, we say, to all Republicans, who believe in the principles of their party to turn out on election day *ml vote the straight Republican ticket from top to bottom. Your time is valu able, and it is so much easier, and re quires so much less time to make your mark in the circle at the top of the Re publican column, and by so doing cast a straight vote for the whole Republi can ticket. Don't spend any time in looking for a place to make a mark for any one who deserts bis party.and joins hands with the enemy and trUs to com pass its defeat. After you have cast a straight Repub lican vote, you can go home to your family, meet them with a clear con science, and tell them you have put in another straight vote for the party of protection, patriotism and prosperity. ONE WHO BELIEVES IN MAJORITY RULE. THE possibility of having a personal registration law in Pennsylvania has awakened a very general interest in the Registration Amendment that will come before the people at the Novem ber election. The Registration Arnead inent is one of two proposed amend ments to the Constitution that were passed by the legislature during this year's session. It was introduced first in the session of 1899 and re introduced and passed finally this year. It goes now to the people for their judgment before it becomes effective. OIL NOTES.
