A Now York leiter to the Philadelphia Press gives nn account of the astonishing rapidity with which the results of the voting were made known at Utlca. It says : Perhaps the most striking teat was that made by the proprietor of the Utlca Ob server , E. Prentice Bailey. There were twenty-ono electfon districts In the city of Utlca , a city with a population of a llttlo over 60,000. With'ln fourteen minutes after the polls were closed , Mr. Bailey was able to print and put upon the streets In an ex tra edition of thVpbsprver an accurate and complete account , of , the result of the elec tion. AYheoImanl-brought to the office the returns from wcKjot these districts. There , waa.njj e ss'lty for.slow and tedi ous counting.of'$9-ballots , wheruth polls wera closedtand the mechanism of the ma chine was stopped , all that was necessary to do was to c-enthe * machine and there In Indisputable figures was tel < l the detail and in the aggregate the result of the voting n each district. The machine cannot bo tampered with , cannot be made to beat Itself without at once frustrating completely the purpose of the Would-bo corrupter of the Dallot. If It break down the record that Is made up to the jnoment oJ the collapse re mains nnd a new machine can be substituted. It Is simplicity Itself. The voter touches the appropriate keys and the machine does the rest , docs the counting , and Is as accurate as Is the adding machine now BO universally used in the largest banks of thto city. OIUGIN-A.M..Y .HAISBO IK AMEHCIA. The Dublin FiiHlleeri * from India and Why the Xiiinc Is IrUh. The dispatches from South Africa , and es pecially those describing the fighting at Sloncoe , have undoubtedly led to some con- uslon in American minds because of the way which the jBritlsh army has of desig nating regiments. The method at-present In use Is called the territorial system , reports the New York Sun. The Royal Dublin Fusllecrs Is a regl- . ment raised in India Borne 200 years ago , j vhlch In all probability has r.uver been in ' reland. It got the name probably for the reason that at the time of .the . reorganlza- ion of the army In 1881 , three balttallons of Irish militia were attached to It "as " ita reserve. These militia battalions are the Dublin city mllltla , the Dublin county militia and the Klldaro Rifles. j The two balttallons of the regiment nt | present In active service were at oho time itwo scpanalo reglmcntfl ini India. Originally they were raised by the British East India company , and they arc the oldest of the eld Indian regiments. ' The second battalion received the name of the "old toughs , " because of Its record In tbo campaigns In India , and because ot Its service there It has always been well known 4o Englishmen when the two battalions were united to form the Dublin Fusllecrs. They wear the regular British Infantry uniform , the scarlet coat having light blue facings , The Royal Rifle corps Is noted for the small size of Its members. They are all llttlo men , the average height being G feet f Inches. They wear n distinctive uniform of dark green with black facings. The Royal Rlflo corps has always been a favorite or- ganlzaitlon with the English , being composed of daredevils , with a lot of England's bad boys In Its ranks , The regiment , It may be Interesting to know , was originally raised In America. It was recruited In New York under n special order In 17B5 and WAS known then as the Sixty-second Royal American regiment ot ' foot. As such It fought with Wolfe before Quebec. 111 ( JUTS OK AN I5DITOII. Some TliliiK * Indignant Doot KnlljItrallxe. . Every editor , and this Includes even medical editors , occasionally receives angry letters from subscribers concerning some article admitted to his columns , says the Medical Journal , It not seldom happens that the uamo mall brings other letters ex pressing pleasure from the same artlcles < The complainants may be right In their criticisms and the pralsers wrong In their pleasure , because even the best editors may occasionally err In selective Judgment , and the most of us may make altogether too many mistakes. But whether right or wrong , the critics usually proceed upon one or more of several erroneous assumptions. The first pertains to the right of an editor to cxpurgo a sentence or paragraph with which ho disagrees In nn otherwise accept able article. That he has no such right la shown by the fact that the critics would be the first to deny It In the case of their own contributed letters or articles. The second faulty assumption Is that an article con tributed and the same usually applies to reports , news Items and quotations re ceives a half Indorsement , If not a whole one , by the editor from the mere fact of Insertion In his journal. It seems stupid to republlsh In every number the old stereo typed notice , "This Journal docs not hold Itself responsible for the views or state ments made in Us columns except those In the editorial department , " and yet the let ters of occasional correspondents make one sometimes feel as If this were advisable. Ono may even have recalled to mind the stanza of a great poet : There was an old man of Thermopylae. Who never did anything properly ; But they said , if you choose to boll eggs In your shoes , You shall never remain -rncrmopyiue. . Again , It may be suspected that local feel ing and even a personal animus , Indirectly at least , may have rarely stimulated a pas sionate protest. If such Is ever the case the fact that editors are not omniscient may perhaps bo a sufficient reason for partial pardoning on the part of others , although not by any means authorizing an ovcrklnd leniency toward himself on the part of the editor. "Not guilty , but don't do It again , " may , perhaps , be the verdict In both cases. The fact suggests a thought as to the value and pralseworthlness of toleration. The crudest way to put it would be to say , too ungraciously it Is true , that for the subscription price no reader acquires the rleht to grumble when displeased , nor in accepting it does a Journal guarantee to please always and absolutely. An editor , I Indeed , ' may 'bo"consldcred' fortunate if he pleases thrice whtlo displeasing twice. Alas , that the single negative sticks in the mem ory more persistently than four positives ! In a larger way It might be urged that cul ture and civilization consist In great part of the ability to listen to and observe things at variance with and even repugnant to one's private belief , nnd to do so without acrimony. Magnanimity is one of the rarest and most noble of human characteristics , and It should not be forgotten that mag nanimity is neither Indifference , egotism , cynicism , nor pity but something far higher than any or all of these. It is so fearfully easy to convince oneself of one's own per sonal superiority that the nobler virtue al ways Insensibly tends to become the lo'sser. Is It not true that every political partisan needs to read n representative journal of the opposite party ? What a deplorable nar rowness does It show when readers demand that their Journals shall voice their own peculiar views and when a disagreeing or opposing view rouses anger ! AH of thl is ultra medical , and extremes of party feel ing do not , of course , occur in the medi cal profession , but glimpses and relics of old-time prejudices occasionally appear at the editorial desk although we protest none have done so at ours for some three months ! These atavistic remains , as we have hinted , consist in most emphatic reprobation of what some luckless contributor has said. Might ono definitely reply : Why not blame tbo author instead of the editor or pub lisher , and also why demand tbo uttermost agreement on the part of one's fellows In matters either of science , ethics or esthetics ? Equanimity is a far more lovable virtue than unanimity.

Selotis , nn explorer nnd n mighty hunter , 'whd ' Is held In equal respect by I black men and whites , by British ami by | noers , sa > s In the London Times : "The greater part ot the j > crsonal charges made J against the Transvaal Boers have , I believe , | b\it small foundation , since , taken na a whole , they are nn eminently quiet , sober and seU-contnlnccl people , but llttlo Rlvcti to bran ling or bragging. I Imve some right to speak on such n matter , as I first went to South Africa In 1871 , nnd In the follow ing year came In contact with the Transvaal Hocrs. During more than twenty years I have never met with anything' but hospi tality mid kindness , and naturally at the present moment , when 1 firmly believe that there Is a design In certain quarters to force j a war upon them \\hlch It will bo made to j appear that they hnvo forced upon us , I feel n great deal of sympathy for them. "Mr. nider Haggard has told us that ho found It ImimXBlhlp In rn nn tlvlnc In the Transxaal nmld the dally Insults of % lc- torlous Doers , and he also tells us that Boers look upon Englishmen with contempt nnd consider them to bo morally and phys ically cowards. I traveled slowly through the Transvaal by bullock wagon shortly after the retrocession of the country In ' 1881 , and visited all the farmhouses on my | route. 1 met with no Insults nor the least Incivility anywhere , nor even heard any boasting about Doer successes over our troops , though at that time 1 understood , ' nnd spoke the 'Tnl' well. "In common with all who really know the Doers , who have lived amongst them , and not taken their character at second-hand , 1 have always been struck by their moder ation In speaking of their victories over our soldiers. As for the Doers having u con tempt for Englishmen as Individuals , that Is nonsense. "They hate the Drltlsh government , and , knowing their history , I for ono think they have ample reason for doing so , but thu Individual Englishman that they know they take at his real value. "One of the troubles of the present situa tion In the Transvaal Is that the outlander population of Johannesburg Is In Its sym pathies , Its mode of life , and all Its hopes and aspirations as wide as the poles asun der from the pastoral Doers , with whom It never mixes , nnd whom It therefore does not understand. * "Through arrogance and Ignorance Great Drltaln lost her American colonies , " Mr. Scions concludes , "nnd If arrogance and Ignorance - noranco prevail In the present conduct of affairs In South Africa , history will repeat Itself In that , country.

The rights of playwrights and operatic composers In France to a certain number of tickets to performances of their works In the theaters has resulted In a curious situation. It has long been the custom for authors nnd composers to sell these tickets. This year one man has made arrangements by which ho had a monopoly of these "authors' tickets" for two years , and has set up a series of subscriptions for all the the aters In Paris at "prices that defy compe tition , " as his circular announces. The regular ticket sellers are greatly excited over i the proceeding , and the theatrical managers have made an energetic protest. This sub- ! scriptlon plan does the greatest harm to the state subvcntloncd theaters , and the minister of fine arts has decided to forbid all speculation of this sort. Unfortunately ' the society of authors appears to encourage the.practice. The manager of .the Chatelct theatre has written a letter to the society In which ho threatens to refuse to honor all authors' tickets that have been bought through the cheap subscription agency.
