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.

THE TICKET.
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.

Headache
kills, not necessarily suddenly,
but SURELY. If preys upon the
intellectual powers more than
we'realize. It consumes the
vitality faster than nature can
replenish it, and we cannot tell
just what moment a temporary
or complete aberration of the
mind will result. Headache and
pain should be promptly re
m'ived —but properly. Many
S p:-.:n cures are more harmful
I than the pain. Beware. If
you would be safe, take
m P iies- Pain Pills,
I "As a result of neuralgia I lost the
i sight of ray right eye, and the pain I
| have suffered is incomprehensible, be-
J ing obliged to take opiates almost con
tinually/ A friend gave me one of Dr.
Miles' I'aic lolls and it promptly re
lieved me. i then purchased a box and
now my trouble is gone. They have
also cured my daughter of nervous
headache, and I heartily recommend
them to others." —W. J. ConLEY. Bre
