The Flag Burning.
Washington, Nov. 24. Minister
Dupuy de Lome, of Spain, had not
called at the state department up to
non Moncfay to present a protest
against burning of aSpanlsh Hag by
students at Newcastle, Del., as Madrid
cables state (lie Is instructed to do.
If a protest is made, It will follow
the usual course In such cases, and be
referred to the Delaware authorities
for explanation of the facts. If
these disclose a substantial Indignity,
the federal government will make an
apology deemed desirlable. But, as a
rule, the pranks of students have not
been construed as an indignity requir
ing an apology.
Nets Confiscated.

ing 35 nets belonging to Lay Bros., of

haw r kancisuo, jnov. Z4. Tne in
ov. 24.-1
ventor of tho mysterious alr-shlp
which has been puzzling,, local sclent
lsts and others for the past week, 14
believed to be one "Dr. E. n. Benja
min, ' an alleged dentist, who has oc
cupied rooms in an Ellin-street lodgt
ing house for the past two years, but
so far he has successfully evaded all
attempts to discover his Identity.
Ills attorney, Collins when seen yester
day, and pressed to tell further about
the alleged Inventor and his machin
ery, said:
"This morning the Inventor came
to my office ,ln the Crocker building
and told me'that he had tested tho
merits of the ship in last night's storm
with the greatest success. The wind
currents were very contrary, and the
test tried the merits of the machine
in the hardest manner, but It came
out of the ordeal In the best manner,
having breasted the storm like any
bird. He stated in the Ioca'llty where
tlio vessel Is Housed, and new oven
Alcatraz and out through thtrCdldcn,
Gate, skirting the Cliff house and re
turning by the same route across the
bay. B!e hovered over the seal rocks
for fully ten minutes and played his
searchlight on the seals. Ills inten
tion Is-txvmake another trip this eve
ning, proBably over the same ground,
running on his return trip as far as
Sacramento."
A dispatch was received from Sac
ramento last night that hundred of
people there had again seen tho mys
terious meteor in the heavens, but as
yet no one has beep able to see the
object sufllclently to state definitely
what it Is.
la'ter. .
San ritANCisco, Nov. The story
of the airship Is nut generally cred
ited. The Inyentor cannot be found
and those who are reported to have
seen It arc not willing to give definite
testimony. Geo. D. Collins, the at
torney, whose name has been con
nected with thejnventor as an appli
cant, admits that he was retained
for such service, but ridicules the
story of tho Sacramento flying ma
chine. He says the story is a iaue,
but declares his client is working on
a machine which Is a combination of
the aeroplane and a talless kite.
Must Hang.
Seattle, Nov. 24. Wallace Carey,
convicted in Seattle of tho murder of
his Indian wife, has been denied a
new trial and will have to hang.Ho
smashed her head and then threw

her neck. Then he went up town, got
drunk and reported that his wife had
been ronrdered, after wlhch he took
6ome acquaintances with him to the
place and pulled the body out of the
watcn The supreme court thought
that one trial was enough tor him,
Seattle has not had a hanging for
some yaars.

REGISTRATION,
For Coming City Election.
What Can and Should' Be
to Prevent Frauds,
Done
The Salem city election will be held
Monday, December 7th, for mayor,
aldermen, marehal, recorder aud treas
urer .
Thero Is no law requiring registra
tion of voters, but a list of legal
voters should be mado up In each
ward.
The Journal believes that n cor
rect list of legal voters could bo
mado up by tho citizens of each warU
arid published, and a voter who Is
not clearly and lawfully entitled "to
voto should not bo allowed to cast his
vote.
DA canvass could bo mado by a dis
interested person iu each ward of tho
city, and tho actual bona fide resident
voters enrolled. Tho completed roll
of voters should be published, and
names purged or added to It, of any
who are not voters, or who are en
titled to bo on tho roll. Then no
person not on theso rolls should bb
allowed to voto in any ward at tho
coming city election.
Who has a right to voto In each
waid is a question of fact and law.
The people who live In each ward and
pay the taxes ought to bo Interested
in knowing who aro tlio legal Voters
In that ward. Tho candidates for city
offices aro most Interested in securing
their election. They nro little Inter-
cstcd In an honest election except 89
far as It affects their own Interest,
If the taxpayers want an honest flec
tion they must sco to it that none but
legal voters cast a ballot. If a man
votes who has no right tp vote he
should be prosecuted, and thoso who
got lilm to vote should bo prosecuted
All recall city elections where uearly
as many votes wero cast on each side
as thero were malo residents of tho
ward. Colonizing, repeating and barn,
lodging aro common practices at hotly
contested city elections,
"Let us have a pUro ballot at this
election" is tho demand of citizens of
nil parties. The Journal will conj
tribute to this end. It has no candi
dates to promoto by dishonest means.
THE WABD DOUNDAKDiS. '
1 From north limit of city to Mar
lon street.
2 From Marlon to Court.
3 From Court to Ferry.
4 From Ferry to South limit.
Tlie'.clty Is bounded by tho Willa
mette rlvor on the west.
The eastern boundary is net so plain
but It is almost as follows: 1
From junction of Southern limit.
Cross Btrcet, and S P. railroad track,
thence along tho 'railroad ono block,'
then cast on line of Depot addlton,
thence along Turner road to 22 street
to North Mill crcok, which com
pletes the cast boundary.
The Turner road has been removed
bo often that tho above does not de
fine tho limits very accurately, but
tho limits are well known by tho resi-i
dents along.thc boundary. '
PLAN OF ENROLLMENT,
The Journal bclloycs a disinter
ested enrollment of actual
voters is necessary. This!
enrollment should not be mado by
candidates or political managers, but
solely for the purpose of ascertaining
who aro legal voters at tho coming
oily election. It would cost about ten
dollars for each ward, to make up u
correct list of thc-vnters,glvlng names
and residence and then have tho same
copied and publicly posted. Achai;
lenger would then havo to bo em
ployed at each polling place armed
with a roll of tho lawful voters und
check them off , as they appear. Per
sons attempting to voto should bo
noted and either called on to prove
their citizenship or else swear in their
vote, when it could bo legally investi
gated. In this way order and legality
would be enforced In our elections,
which are rapidly degenerating Into a
farce.
The Journal Bubmlta theso sug
gestlons for what they aro worth and
hopes that enough citizens will
support some good plan to ascertain
who are the lgal voters In this city,
