With all the election machinery EN-
ployed in New Jersey to ascertain the
popular will it seems a little strange that
it should have worked SO disjointedly
last week in aseertaining the result
of the special election on the proposed
Constitutional amendments. 1t is hardly
conceivable that the first report should
vary so widely from the actual facts, and
that it should require nearly a week
to ascertain the true result. But such
was the case, and Of course various
reasons are assigned, but since the
election boards are paid for their work,
so far as they were concerned, they
should have been prompt in giving out
the result as at a regular election. The
chief difficulty most likely was in gather
Ing he returns, a work usually done by
the press, but through a lack of interest
In this election this was not as thoroughly
done as usual, hence the uncertainty and
delay. The later Intelligence, however,
That two of the amendments ha ve been
~oarried-that against race.track gamb-
ling and ad interim appointments by the
Governor, though by comparatively
small majorities, .atones for the disap-
pointment felt by all lovers of morality
and good order when the news was
received that the first amendment had
been defeated. The jubilation of the
race-track people over their supposed
victory turns out to have been premature,
and although the small majority of 612
by which the anti-gambling amendment
appears to have been carried reflects
little credit upon the people of New
Jersey, IT. still places the passage of race.
track legislation beyond the pale OF
possibility for some years to come.
The exceeding oloseness of the vote
should not be taken as a safe measure
of public sentiment regarding the pro-
posed changes in the Constitution, for
the reason that scarcely one fifth of the
total vote of the State was polled at the
special election. rOf the great number
Of st~ay.at-homes, those favoriDg the
passage of the amendments are acknow-
lodged to have been very largely in the
majority. The only active interest
manifested in the outcome appears to
have been upon the part of those op.
posed to the passage of a constitutional
amendment. which would destroy their
hope Of future Legislation, permitting
at least limited race-track gambling.
That such a small majority should be
given 80 righteous q measure that the
result should be in grave doubt for al
most Q week is not creditable to the
State, and those wbo, while opposed to
gambling on pfiLcipir, did not take the
trouble to 60 to the polls to vote were
clearly remiss in their duty. The defeat
of the woman snff rage amendment, and
that by SO large majority. is a matter
to be regretted, for it was 3 move in the
right direction, 81 none are more

But perhaps the delay in doing her

broader field In which to exercise her

According to the October reports of
the cereal crops, the yield of the Ameri,
can wheat harvest for the current year
was $4,000, 600 bushels. The american
Agrteulturtst, which is regarded as excel
lent authority, reports the wheat crop at
$50, 600. 900 bushels. This is the largest
yield ever harvested, except in 1891.
when theecrop was Gil, 780 900 bushels.
In that year, however, the worlds crop
was unusually large, while at the pres
emit time the shortage 10 the wheat crop
outside of the United States, is stated by
European authorities ut 900, 600, 900
bushels. 1t is probable, therefore, that
this years wheat crop will sell in the
markets for more money than even the
phenomenal crop of six years ago.

That the gambling and race track

to be wondered at, but that they will at.

Local.

\
Local,
After the opening services, which
were conducted by the president, Mrs.
Elizabeth Broadway, the ladies of the
Woodstown W. G. T. U. listened with
much interest to the report by Mrs.
Senser of the county convention held at
Pennsville. Among the series of resolu-
tions adopted by that body we quote the
following as being in direct accord with
our opinions:
WHEREAS, The liquor traffic is the
foundation of most of the criminality
and pauperism in this country, is ruinous
to the home, is in direct opposition to
the principles of the gospel; as no saloon
can exist unless sanctioned and protected
by law; as we are organized for the de-
molition of this enemy to moral excel
lence, be it further
Res0Iced, That we call upon Christian
citizens everywhere to speak out fear
lessly against this evil, to encourage and
to vote with all who are striving for its
prohibition and entire overthrow.
On motion, which carried, members of
the local union are permitted to affiliate
their especial interests with any chosen
department of work. For instance,
Annie G. P. Flitoraft gave as her chosen
field the department Of Mothers Meet
inRs, to work in conjunction with the
superintendent, Emily Borton. While
Mrs. Stepler, Sarah Borton, Izetta B.
Allen, Rebecca Lippincott, Ella Wool
man and Elizabeth Petit signified their
choice of working along the line of re-
lief work, together with Ann L. Thorn
and Rebe Reed, who are suporiatepd dents
of this department.
On motion, it was decided to call an
executive meeting for Q O'Clock on the
afternoon of the 9Th instant, to arrange
programs for the ensuing year, and to
select superintendent to fill vacancies.
After announcements, etc., NEE ting
adjourned by singing the d~oxology.
