A MlLLINER'S

One Field That Is ~Acceptably Filed by a
Young Woman.
Women have long been drummers for
articles of female apparel. says a writer j in
the New York Morning Journal. MANY
milliners send their representatives from
ono small town to another TO take orders
for hats and bonnets. Such women have a
right to be enrolled in the noble army of
drummsrs without further question. I
know a millinsr'a drummer once. I met
her at a New York boarding house. She
was a vsry pretty girl and she wore . pea
green cashmere gown made with slashed
sleeves and plenty of diamond iewelry. I
took her to the theater and ice-oreamsd her
freely after tho performance. She was also
a buyer Of m%illiners' goods. and her bust
ness at New York was to. purchase supplies
for half a dozen business houses. The last
time | heard of her she had taken a Young
man to support. Why, indeed. should
women not DO drummera? They are Quite
az able and active a. the men, and have far
better manners They do not oRle ladies.
they do not run after sctressss, they do not
run up hotel bills at the expense Of their
employer, and thsy do not buv new clothes
out OF the money allowed for "extras,"

100000 males In 1890 there yer 05,2S0
females. In The District Of Columbia,
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island there
are five per cent moro women than men,
the greater prcponderanee being found
In tho District OF Columbia, which con
tains tho proportion OF lo1,2i2 females
to 100000 males. Altogether there are
only eleven states In which there are
more wome than men, az against sew
enteen states with an excess Of the fair
sex in 1886. The proportion Of women
to men Is increasing in the . states
very rapidly. which shows that woman
is on the march westward with the star
OF empire. In 1890 there were eleven
states and territories in which the
women represented from SO to so per
cent Of the mon. There ia no state or
territory in which there are not ut least
one-half as many women as men. Mon
tana is lowest in the scale, having the
proportion only Of 5o,3s2 women to l0o,-
men. Wyoming comes next, with a
proportion of 54,297 women to every
100000 men, and Nevada next with &c.
GAL women to 100000 men. 1t is leap
year yet, and we invite the attention OF
the ome Of Massachusetts, Conneoti-
cut, Rhode Island and the District Of
Columbia, who outnumbsr the other
by several hundred thousand in their
respective communities, to the fact that
Montana is a most promising field.

The New York World story that there
are sixteen republicans in the United
States senate who have expressed them
selves in favor OF the defeat of Harrison
as necessary to the preservation of the
party, should be taken with several
grains of allowance. There is a long list
OF them, perhaps a majority of the mem
bers of the party in the senate, who cor
daily dislike Harrison, but under party
pressure they will fall in and support
him. Even Sanders and Powers will
work for the party in this state, although
the president has denied them patron
age and turned over the affairs of this
state to his son. There are enough
democrats in the country to defeat Mr..
Harrison If they all pull together.
Don't count on any help from republi-
can politicians until the votes are in.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Whittier was held in high esteem IL
England, and the press comments OF
his career are all eulogistic. 1t is re-
called that John Bright regarded him
as the greatest poet the United States
has ever produced.
The reserve price of Lord Tenny-
sons birthplace is 5000, 200. The high
est price offered at the recent auction
was $1s2, 500, and being considered too
low, the manor was withdrawn from
the market. 1t is thought that some
rich American will yet purchase it.

WONDERFUL STRIKE OF GOLD.
New Find of the Metal in the Eclipse
Mine Causes a Sensation.

A New Find of the Metal in the Eclipse
Mine Causes n Sensation.
DENVER. Col, Oct. 31.-The past week
has been surprising one in the Cripple
Creek gold camp, and at least one big
discovery has been made. The camp is
all excitement over the wonderful strike
made in the Eclipse mine yesterday.
The Eclipse is located in Requa Gulch,
and has been a regular shipper for the
past two months, averaging about car
load a week. The returns from these
shipments have averaged over 500 a
ton, but there was nothing in the char
acter of the ore to prepare the men who
were taking it out for the wonderful stuff
that was uncovered yesterday.
At depth of 95 feet vein of white
tale and crystalized quartz was encoun-
tered, the vein apparently being about
four feet in width. The ore is full of
rusty gold, some of it being in large
cubes, which even old miners pronounce
the most wonderful display of free gold
they ever saw.
There is much to indicate that this
will be what expert mining men have
been claiming all along-the greatest
gold camp in the world. There are now
over 80 shipping mines, and the advent
of the railroad will double the number.

THERE are indications that the repub-
licans expect to carry the election by the
use of money. 1t is estimated that
50, 900, 900 is at the disposal of the re-
publican national committee for the
purpose of forming "blocks of five," and
the signs point to the use of this cor
ruption fund in Connecticut, and, of
course, in Waterbury. Perhaps money
can do the work, but democrats must be
up and doing to prevent it. Eternal
vigilance is the price of success in this
campaign, and we must be on our
guard against the use of corruption
money among our voters. Democrats
of Waterbury, be on your guard and de-
feat the unholy purposes of those who
would traffic in votes. You are ex-
pected to roll up majority of 900 for
Cleveland. You can do it if you will.

FLORIDA ELECTORS.

They May Not be Permitted TO Cast the
Vote of the State.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 31.-It is re-
ported that the vote of Florida may be
thrown out of the Electoral College owing
to fight among the Democrats, which
has resulted in the removal by Gov.
Flemming of Tax Collector 1. E johnson
of Duval county because he refused to re-
ceive 81, 900 in payment of poll taxes for
1000 votes after noon on Sep. 3, the last
day for their payment.
Chairman Harvey of the Peoples party
says these refusals were common all over
the State, and that, following the john
son precedent, 30 out of the 45 collectors
should be removed. He will carry the
matter before Congress claiming that
fully 10000 voters were thus illegally
