AMERICAN WOMEN AND HOTELS.

The SWEETEST looking women can be
seen about the Fifth Avenue hotel
every day. They are guests of the
house and come from various cities
throughout the Union. 1t used to be
that American women were chary about
being seen about the hotel corridors
frequented by guests and loungers of
the male sex, but this is all changed.
note that these women bear the stamp
Of the cosmopolite. They have the air
of women of the world, who are not
afraid of the world and who are rather
glad that they are in it. The matrons
have q chariningiy comfortable" look
between fashion and benevolence, of
the sort Of people whose position in the
great game of life Is assured. The
young women are comely to look upon
as q rule, and are 0fteuer downright
handsome than downright plain. 1t is
pleasing to the eye that they dress, for
the most part, with excellent taste, be-
ing given to PLAIN, well-titting travelling,
street and carriage gowns, and in this
respect form an agreeable contrast to
the American women of twenty years
ago. When see them lowering around
the postofiice end of the Office counter,
or at the book stall, or in front of the
hotel theater ticket desk. recall the
similar knots of stylish femininity one
meets about the Office of the continent

known abroad for her independence of

TWO coon MEN

One Of the paradoxicAl features Of
the senatorial canvass Is that alLthe
reasons presented IS arguments
against the reelection Of the present
incumbent apply with equal force
against bis friendly opponent. They
are both republicans, having rendered
distinguished public services: Both
are farmers. owning good farms in the
country and living in town. Both are
wealthy. Both have held high Offices,
gifts from republicans. Whom it comes
70 ability, wide difference OF opinion
exists. but both are qualified TO DIS
charge the duties OF the Office OF sena-
Cor. There seems to be desire on the
part Of rome persons to discriminate
between the two men on the score of
wealth. There is little foundation in
this upon which TO build campaign
sgains. either candidate. The broader
and better plan IL 10 avoid weakening
the cause of either man. IL is purely
. question OF republican politics, and
the good sense of the republican MEM
bers of the legislature cannot be dis
tor;sd by such methods. Senator Stock
bridge is known as a man of strict in
tegrity aud answering loyalty to the
party. lie represents no class, faction
nor wing. but "a bread and loyal rep
rsssntativs OF the whole party. Ex-
Governor Luce - strong republi-
can. lie is magnetic and enthusiastic.
His hold upon the people is strength
ened W virtue Of his sturdy character.
Between the two the choice of the
legislators IS probably already made.
No good can come TO either's cause by
Misrepresentation and sinister amin
sdversions. They are both good re-
pubsicsns; let the better man win with
out corrupting tbs pubic mind.

couNr TEE VOLTS.

Eight votes missing from the ballot
box Of the township of Piainfield. when
IL WA opened by the COMMITTEES en-
gagged ia recounting the votes have
been returned to tue county clerk and
submitted TO the committee The
committee by evAsivensss has neglect
ed 10 take action upon . motion made
by one OF the members and the matter
stands Just as il did before the discov-
cry of the tickets Was made. IL 10 not
probable that, after considering all the
facts aud circumstances, the commit
tee Will emphasize its partisanshlp by
refusing To take acton on this new and
unexpected development. There APP
pears % be no doubt as TO the genuine
ness Of ths tickets. Their identity Is
established by the sfidsvlts of the
election inspectors. one republican,
the other democrat. There can be no
arg umsnt over the fact that eight PEG
pes party votes are missing; that the
discrepancy Is shown by the tally sheets
and that the missing votes have been
Ia the custody Of . republican election
board SINCE the ballot box was sealed
on the night OF election. Tins being
admittedly true the duty OF the COM
mittee Is plainly TO receive or reject
them. The law may require certain
acts to be performed by election in
spectors, and their omission to perform
them may inyalidats the honest votes
Of electors But there is an equity IN
this particular proceeding that rises
above the law. and it demands that
those eignt votes shall be received and
counted Anything short of such q
proceeding ON the part OF the commit
tee would not be partisanship-itw would
be an absolute theft. II Is impossible
for the committee to know the charac-
tar Of these votes except in . general
way. They should not know even 60
much - tnst- The theft of the votes,
II made. will not be . theft from either
candidate, but . theft from the people.
