If business were as good and active
as it was in 1892, there would be quite
as much money in circulation now as
then. If South Dakota had big sur
plus of potatoes and hogs the money
would circulate enough now to corral
that surplus.

Nearly Half the Ballots Cast in Denver

DENVER, Nov. 1T is safe to say
that not less than half the votes cast i'll
this city We're those of women. Out of
total registration of 10000 in Arapa-
hoe county fully 10000 were women,
and as about half of the men on the
books We're registered last year, and
many Of them have left the city, while
the female registration is new, it is
likely that three-sevenths of the legal
voters are women. The polls opened at

women were i'll line at every precinct.

Great Interest Attaches.
From the very opening Of the cam
paign great interest has centered i'll the
action of the new uoters The fact
that the suffrage campaign of a year
ago was conducted almost exclusively
on lines laid down by the women
themselves and was the first of its kind
that ever proved successful, was an in
dication that the women wanted the
franchise and might be expected tc
make use Of it when received. This
idea was further strengthened by the
fact that at this springs election
in the various towns of the
state the ladies turned out tc
the primaries, accepted places
on the tickets and polled a considerable
number of votes. The important issues
in the present campaign have made the
woman vote much sought after, so tina
strong efforts have been made to secure
full registration. Organizations com
posed exclusively of women, but co
operating with those Of the men hav'
been formed in the interest Of the va
rious parties, and social distinction
have for the time been PRACTICAL.

LESSON FOR THE LEADERS.

from the Hobcken Eeeninu Neacs
THE JERSEY CITY News bewails the dearth
of good speakers on the Democratic side OF
the present House of Assembly, ''men of
ideas and enc rgy men who can argue and de-
bate; men who would play a mans part in a
legislative body"
SsAnd SO it happened last night" says our
contemporary, 'sthat when the Republicans
launched out on q wild course of partisan
legislation there was not a man on the floor
of the Assembly to stem the tide There was
no leadership. no concerted action. There
was no display of parliamentary tactics.
There was no debate worthy of the name"
This is, on. general principles, to be de-
plored, aud the cause of this want is truth
fully given by our nainesake. But it's the
cause more than the effect that should be the
subject of the greatest regret just now. From
a practical point of view such men as we
should have in the Assembly and as we have
SO often had in the past would be able to do
nothing except make a creditable showing in
the present situation.
With an overwhelming Republican major
ity of nineteen, good speakers and debaters,
shrewd pa-rlia1nentarians could accomplish
nothing but a very little delay and the moral
effect Of exposing the partisan greed of Re-
publican pharisees. The latter must be left
to the press.
Il is because of this very lack of men of
parts. because of the kinds of representa-
tiyes' that have of late been sent to Trenton
by the Democracy, that we have this over
whelming Republican majority confronting
the Democracy and bent IN spoliation and
destruction.
In this it has been a very strong lesson to
the Democratic leaders"

GOOD CONCERT IN GREENVILLE.

The concert given at the Greenville Re
formed Church last evening by the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor in
aid of the poor fund was a pronounced sue
cess in every particular, and each number on
the programme was well received by the
large and enthusiastic audience. The pro-
gramme was opened with a piano solo by
Miss Clara Moller, which was followed with
a soprano solo by Miss Emma Walker. Miss
Clara Moller and Mr.. Arthur Muller played
a piano duet in a clever manner, and Mr.. g.
e. Pollard followed with a tenor solo. Mr..
Alva Goldzier next recited, and Mrs. c. A.
Limeburner, the well known soprano, sang a
solo, which won for her much applause.
Mrs. Limeburner has an excellent and care
fully trained voice, and her selections were
the feature of the evening. The vocal duet
by Miss Fellows, soprano, and Miss Eta
Spatschil, alto, was also well rendered. as
was the soprano solo by Miss Dobbs. The
piano and violin duet by Messrs. Finn re-
ceived much applause. Miss Blanche Har-
.rison, soprano, sang very prettily, and Mr.
Rudolph SpatschiI recited. Other selections
were:4Piano duet by Misses Katie and
Lizzie Vreeland; piano solo, Miss M. Morse;
piano solo, by Ala Goldzier, and vocal solos
by Mrs. Bowman and Mrs. Gee.

EDITOR MARS REPLY.
Fron the state Gagette Of Yesterda.


Editor Mar made a reply through the
columns of his own paper yesterday morn
ing to the ''oDen letter. of Hon. Henry S.
Little. The editors reply is chiefly char
acterized by personal abuse of rather a low
order. Editor Mar would certainly take
high rank in a contest in Billingsgate. But
there is a frensied tone about the editors re-
Spouse thai conveys the irresistible impress
sion that the writer has sustained and is
suffering from a deep n ranking wound.
Boiled down into simple propositions, Mr..
Mars feveriSh outburst mounts to this
That Mr.. Little is physically lean and tall;
that he has held lucrative offices, and was
faithless to certain friendships; that he
fought shy of the Tax Assessor ''by an os-
Trenton that he ill-used his nephew, Mr.,
;Terhvne; hat he, the editor, was partly
moved by hostility to and suspicion of Little
in opposing the election of his nephew; that
he, the editor, also supported Bradley on
moral grounds; that Mr. Little never mar
ried because he was too stingy to support a
wife; that Little had been guilty of screw
ing DOWN his employees, and several other
similar offenses.
The editor winds up by declaring that he
did not send his screed to the Gazette "be-
cause Boss Sewell would not like them to
publish it,"
That is actually all there is in the editors
l0GGeT, except d lew very UuptQ llCOlS1o-
tencies and contradictions. For example,
after declaring that II dc not deny that my
Judgment of the political advantage to be
gained by electing a Senator from Monmouth
was not a little controlled and modified by
the knowledge that the Democratic Senator
would be considered by you to be an instru-
meut for carrying out your malignant pur-
poses"
And adding that
But my interfereacs was not necessary in
Monmouth. and despite the Republican treach-
cry which Mr.. Bradley testitiod to, and the
gamblers fund, on which you depended. your
political prototype and scapeSoat was defeated
by the people whose great moral purpose you
were unable to understand until a few days be-
fore election
Notwithstanding these important and
vital confessions, we say, the editor, a few
lines further on, evidently forgetting these
fatal admissions, declared that he would
like to see Senator Bradley counted out and
robbed of his seat on the trumped-up
charges that have been preferred.
We simply make these references to Editor
Mars letter because it still farther lays
bare the naked enormity of the plot to rob
Senator Bradley of his seat, to which he
was elected by the people of Monmouth,
whose great moral purpose" Editor Naar
processes to have understood, but which he
has now treacherously abandoned and be-
trayed.
Mr.. Little will pay his respects to Editor
Mar in another of his characteristic n
blistering letters, in the course of a few
days, through the columns of the State
Gazette. We will try to let our readers
a day or two in advance when it
will appear.

TRYING TO SAVE THE SINNERS.
The Task Undertaken by a Salvation
Army Lassie.

Army Lassie.
For some reason best known to themselves
the Salvation Army has made a dead set for
the Board of Freeholders. At each meeting
recently a female member of this army has
b~uttonholed each Freebooter. When she has
learned that her entreaties to the members
to stop their evil ways n wicked habits
have proved ~unaYailing she offers to COM
promise by selling a War Cry, a Salvation
Army paper replete with tales of the suffer-
ings of the damned when they reach ths
depths of perdition.
Yesterday this same woman observed the
glistening pate of the County Collector and
the frinSe of grey hair that surrounds it,
and she set sail for him. 1t was no use. Her
supplications to him to reform and be 3
better man fell on ears that were deaf. To
get rid of the woman, he bought a War Cry.
Thus encouraged tire Salvation woman
turned her attention to Billy Heller, Mix
Hennessy and Jim Cannon. These hardened
sinners withstood the attack for a long time.
They said they had been converted, They
told her they were saved and solemniy de-
clared that after they had done serving the
county for a liberal salary, they intended to
boss a Salvation Army OF their own, but this
did not affect the woman at all She simply
smiled sweetly n said
"Poor lost souls. let us pray"
THAT is right, madam" commented Simon
Kelly, 'they need prayers"
Before this unusual act was begun, how
ever, Director B~ruggemann called the Board
to order. Hennessy, Heller and Cannon
bought a War Cry and the woman vanished.
To the credit of these gentlemen be it said
they c-onscientiously read the paper all
through the meeting.
