A Voting Machine.
A bill amending the constitution
so that it will be lawful to vote
other than by tickets “written or
printed” has passed both the house
and the senate, and has gone to the
president lor his signature. This
movement is for the purpose of in¬
troducing the voting machine. It
[s believed that the use of machines
at elections will become general as
goon as their advantages are under
stood. Witli their advent many
perplexing problems of the Austral¬
ian ballot will solve themselves.
They make defective ballots impos¬
sible, and as there is no question as
to the accuracy of the count they
reduce the possibility of contested
electiens to the minimum. Dishon
est election officials will find their
occupation gone, and the briber Can
never know whether the man he
bribed staid bought or not. No
trace is left of the way the individ¬
ual voted. Only the aggregate is
recorded. It is claimed the count
can be completed within thirty min¬
utes of the time of closing of the

Senator Tillman propounded an
unanswerable question to Senator
■ hillingher, chairman of the pension
c„mimittee, the other day. “I would
like to kuow,” said the senator from
Sentli Carolina, “how it is that men
\v’lO were in the army thirty-five
years ago, and have received pensions
for nhvsical disability, were able to
serve in the war with Spain.” And
ike republican chairman of the
pension committee could not answer,
and did not attempt to do so.
The Medical Association of Georgia
will hold its annual meeting in
M .icon on April 19th, and indica¬
tions are that it will be the most
, * •• itdng session ever held since
‘im
1 i,ly interesting programme is
being arranged. Distinguished phy¬
sicians and surgeons from northern
hi id eastern cities have signified their
intention of being present and con¬
tribute papers, and the meeting will
he instructive as well as pleasant.
The old boundary dispute between
Tennessee and Georgia is now en¬
gaging no little attention. Georgians
and North Carolinians are equally as
much interested. Georgia claims
land in Tennessee amounting to
some 15,000 square miles, more or
less. Georgia’s legislature author¬
ized the governor to appoint a com¬
mission of three men to meet with a
like commission from Tennessee.
The legislature of Teunessee has not
seen fit to name a commission.
Georgia will, upon the refusal of the
Tennessee legislature to act, bring
suit to recover the land involved.
“I do not believe,” said Henry
George, Jr., in his letter declining
to serve on a committee to arrange
for certain “remember the Maine”
services—“I do not believe in the
kind of liberty that President Mc¬
Kinley is dealing in. The freedom
that is given under military despot¬
ism must be asrotton as the horrible
meat that was given to our citizen
soldiers in the recent Cuban war.
Men who came to official power by
the use of the most gigantic corrup¬
tion fund that was ever seen
in politics, who have since rioted
in public expenditure at Washington,
who have added enourmousiy to the
common man’s burden# for the
benefit of rings and special interests,
and who have killed more soldiers
with bad food and bad treatment
than were slain by Spanish bullets.
are not to be implicity trusted when
it comes to confering liberty upon
other peoples. Feeling that with
such views I cannot consistently
take part in a public ceremony that
to many may imply tacit sanction
the actions and principles of the
administration at Washington, I
respectfully ask to be excused.”

Sweetheart He Loved Long -%o.

the boys bain’t been back at the ol’ hone
in many an’ many a day.
An’ somehow the spring’s lost its sweeti\eis,
an’ lonesome an’ long falls the snow.
An’ nothin’ is left but the pictnr’ of the siye t
heart I loved long ago.
i never was one for complainin’—bnt something
eocms lost from life's skies,
An’ often in sunshine it’s rainin’—it’s rainin’
enound’ my ol' eyes!
Per here’a whar their arms was eronn’ me¬

An’ all that is left is the pictur’ of the sweet¬
heart X loved long ago.
The medder still feela the lark’s sliadder, an

Jest as if nuthln’ had happened ter all the
red roses of spring!
Jest as they sung at her weddin’. But how kin
the singin’ birds know
That nothin’ is left but the pictur’ of the

A satisfactory test of ma
chines has been made at Koch ester
N. Y., and the city councii of Utica
lias voted unanimously to buy ma¬
chines for all precincts. It is esti¬
mated that the reduction in election
expenses will suffice in five years to
pay the $14,000 the machines cost.
Tlie Constitution.
All thoughtful and sober-minded
citizens must deplore the triviality
witli which some public men and
sotne newspaper now-a days speak of
the constitution of the United
States. We are told that we have
outgrown the organic law of our
government and that expediency or
“manifest destiny” is the higher law
This is dangerous doctrine. It
strikes at the very roots of our gov¬
ernment, for when the whim of par¬
ty or the ambition of political lead¬
ers finds no check or harrier m the
constitution the republic will be
doomed. To our young men who
are just coming upon the arena of
action this a matter of especial im
port. If they start out with
Die and flimsy affair, that it is
liable and sometimes commendable
to brush it aside or run over it in
order to accomplish something that
to them and their party associates
may seem good and profitable, they
will become bad citizens and “dan.
gerons leaders.
Every intelligent young man who
is about to begin to take part in the
affairs and conduct of this free gov¬
ernment, which it is his privilege
and duty to assume, should read and
ponder over Daniel Webster’s im¬
mortal speech on “The Constitu¬
tion.” He made that speech in de¬
fiance of the prevalent view in his
own state and at the peril of his po¬
litical future, but it is a grander
monument to him than could he
erected out of bronze or stone. Read
the noble and mighty speech of Ben¬
jamin II. Hill, delivered in the
United States senate on “The Con¬
stitution and Its Enemies.” Mr.
Hill considered that the ablest effort
of hip life. It was. He made other
speeches which stirred and thrilled
men’s hearts more suddenly, hut in
the final account of his greatness
and fame that is the speech for
which he will receive highest praise
and which will supply the supreme
proof of his statesmanship. And
then, when you have read these two
masterpieces of American logic and
eloquence, widen your range and
with reverent mind turn to the
greatest statesman who ever spoke
any language or lived in any land or
age and read slowly and with your
best faculty of comprehension Ed¬
mund Burke’s “Appeal From the
New Whigs to the Old.” Let this
ight regard for the constitution he
rebuked sternly wherever it crops
out. Let the public man who pro¬
claims it be deposed from office or
representative capacity at the first
opportunity. Let the private citi¬
zen who expresses it receive the first
contempt of his more thoughtful
and more patriotic fellows.—Atlanta
