VOTE BUYING.

More Particulars About the Truth ill
 This State
 The Bridgeport Standard doubts whether vote buying in the rural dis tricts of Connecticut is so extensive as was represented in the Gazette of last week. This criticism strikes us as strange just after several Of our citi- zens have expressed to us their regret that we did not set the matter forth more strongly and fully than we did.
 At the national election on November 8, New Milfords legal voting list num- bered 1,307. It is conceded by both democratic and republican managers that. there have been for some time nearly, if not quite, 400 purchasable voters in this town, or "foaters,'' as they are contemptuously called. Three hundred have been regarded as easy marks for buying and the other hun, dred have been hooked when good in- ducements have been made. Some good judges estimate that 500 votes were bought in this town at the last election. It is freely asserted that men sold their votes who never sold before and that some of the new cleo tors sold their first votes. Money was literally spent by both parties and men who are in a position to know what they are talking about think that. according to a conservative estimate, from $6,O00 to $S,000 may have been paid out for votes in this town. As is well known to the practiced. the so- called secret ballot system is not near ly so effective as it would theoretical ly seem to be, and those who buy votes have more of certainty to base calcula- tions upon than would at first appear to be possible
 Now we refuse to believe that New Milford is worse in morals than other New England towns of it's size, and we regard the conditions in this town as simply typical of what must be largely found elsewhere.
 That vote buying is more extensive.

The Michigan Trading Stamp Go has begun suit in the Wayne county circuit court against the Detroit Journal fot S50,ooO damages, claiming that their business has been materially injured by articles in that paper at different times and particularly a paragraph ap- bearing in the editorial column on Au- gust 31, which read as follows: ''The man who is cunning enough to devise a trading stamp gift is apt to be re- sourceful. The men who are reaping a profit of thousands of dollars day are apt to die hard with their graft The plaintiffs, several of whose mem bers are Flint people, claim that the statements were malicious and were published for the purpose of injuring a legitimate business; hence the suit.

LEGISLATORS WARNED.

The Middletown Penny Press mas an exalted idea of the perils and temptations that beset4 the new legis- lator on his arrival in Hartford.rs Net there is truth enough ill its warning. printed under the title, 'aThe Crafty Will Predominate,' 7 to make it worth reading. T. says:
 No doubt there are those who will experience their first lesson in legis- lation at Hartford. the coming term, and have in mind what they will do for their constituents. Some will learn the lesson that others have py experience, while some, no doubt, will lcarry out the object- for which they were elected. Honest representatives
 will be appealed to by the crafty and means will be employed to coax them
 on until, as a last resort, they will see the folly of resistance, according to the willy ones, and before they know
 it they will be doing just what their constituents relied on. them not to do. Agents of organizations strong in the world of finance will lounge about ia
 nliliar places where legislators some
 times go. They will apparently have nothing to do but pour great volumes
 of circling smoke from prime cigars.
 They will talk glibly of this and of
 that, ponder on the accomplishments
 of the man elected by the people, and at last point oNt some way where he
 can better his condition Then the nerve-raeking time comes, as past leg isIators can testify to, and the law is enacted that will benefitf those for whom the lobbyists arc employed. 1t will he the Sai1la ald stnPy flypr q oaiB1 the coming session. Representa-
 of the people will vote away what be longs to the people for the benefit of the sacred few. and the crafty, who sufsist in such way, will spare no pains to carry out the dictates of those l h1gher-up, for they are hirelings for what they can accomplish, although
 the season is short one
 'S0 to the new representative about to gain his first experience in legisla- tive halls, be prepared prepared for
 the rubbing against the cloth, for the l nice things that will be said for a pur-
 pose, for the places you will be per
 mitted to occupy on account of your
 rank, for the time being, of course, and remember the experience of other l legislators who have listened to the
 wiles of the crafty and what was in store for them in the future in the line of promises-iGlle promises at the l best, and if you can profit from any living example do so, but don't be the tool of any grafter, and above every thing associate more with members
 of the body you were elected to than
 the third house. the genteel way of alluding to the lobby.''

| E a z \ and that bigger prices for votes are paid in the rural districts than in the cities, we believe to be a fact for req sons not necessary to set forth here.
 Human nature is no worse now than it was few years ago; but it must be remembered that there are very rich men and very rich corporations nowadays, as there were not in old times: and when these very rich men wish to be elected to office, or the man. agers of these very rich corporations wish to have their interests promoted, they do not hesitate to buy votes on a liberal scale. Poor men who could not be tempted to sell their votes for a dol lar will sell for $25. Consider the ada ed temptation and then look for the inevitable conclusion.
 As for the low election expenses that are reported under oath by cant1i- dates, what do they amount to? For stationery, for printing, for ballots, pastors and the like, a man elected to an office may report that he has spent $100; but he says nothing about the $500 to $1,000 that, without asking questions, but with full knoweldge of what to expect, he gave to trusted Richard Doe of the political commit tee to buy votes with. And yet there are worthy candidates who do this lit tie trick and who do not call it wrong
 not to mention it in their reports of election expenses made under oath

Boys and girls would hardly look to the national conference of charities and corrections for championship of their rights to amusement, yet at it's recent meeting in Portland, Me, the conference took steps to encourage by every means in it's power the increase in the size and attractiveness of school grounds and the establishment of other suitable places for games and amuse- ments, says the Youths Companion. The association also recorded it's faith in the efficacy of most of the livelieH and so-called 'rougher" games as good outlets for youthful exuberance, and as furnishing wholesome training in manly traits, as well as physical exer- else

TRIED TO CATCH A HUNTER.

A man who spends considerable time each year hunting in the northern woods tells Of an experience he had with bull moose which led him to believe that that particular bull was nobotiy,s fool He slightly injured the beast at closer range. than 1t Is usually possible to approach such game.
 Suddenly the animal turned and rushed toward the hunter with lowered head. The sportsman squared away and prepared for another shot but to his horror hts feet became entangled in some briaTs and he fell. Close to him was large tree se9eral feet in thickness. Without having an oppor- tunity to recover his weapon, he bare ly had time to scramble to his feet and dodge behind the trunk of the tree be- fore the bull was upon him.
 The breathless Nimrod was chased around that tree until his head fairly whirled. Suddenly the bull stopped and charged from the other direction. Then he stopped again and resorted to the small boys trick of making feint one way, then darting in the other. He nearly caught the now thoroughly rat tied hunter by. the ruse. The gentle, man claims that the timely arrival Of a companion who dropped the willy bull in his tracks was all that saved his iife.Il0s Angeles Times.

 The marshal has given instructions that Mrs Chadwick must be treated like any other prisoner, and. therefore. must not have any comforts in the jail which she is able to purchase. True enough, Mrs Chadwick should be treat ed like any other prisoner. but it is a shame i'll this age and in Il free coun- 1 try to treat every prisoner. as q convict. Even in England there are places of detention, different from prisons, il. which suspects are confined until they \ are proved guilty.

The papers are now birdened with the sensational story about Cassie B. Chadwick, who has succeeded in ob- taining a million of dollars from va rious banks upon alleged securities of mythical value, and perhaps by for geries. All the money she obtained in various ways has been spent on jewels, furs and costly brtc-a-brac, says an exchange. She is d middle aged woman of no br1Ilfancy, but stately in bearing. Still, with all ap- parent drawbacks, she has been able to seemingly hypnotize shrewd fnan- cfers and cool business men out of any amount of money her necessities for the moment required. Naturally this sensational incident of the hour raises the question about the relative hon esty of men and women. Ordinarily, we do not expect to find gross dishon- esty among womankind, and for this reason more space is given to Mrs EChadwick's million Borrowings on pc culiar or mythical collateral than to the male agent of the Rothschilds who took a million in solid gold in gots. The reports of the treasury de- pertinent at Washington and by busi- ness men generally show that women as whole are more honest than men. It is contended, however that the places held by women offer less temp tation to embezzlement than the places involving larger and more com plicated transactions held by men. It is contended also that natural gal lantry leads business men to take more pride in the record of a girl or dinarily honest than in the record of boy of the same probity and to re gard the slight departuresaof a girl from business methods more leniently than the shortcomings of boy: With all due allowance for these elements, it remains true that women in the last ten years have won reputation for honesty in places of trust. Wheth- er this is due to the more exclusive home training of girls, with its higher ideals of honesty, or to scrupulous

They deserve the reputation so well that a departure from their established standard excites general astonishment

The strongest factors in the situation are the abundance of money, an excel, lent investment demand for securities and ,the promising business outlook, says Banker Henry CIews. Funds ars in ample supply, and stFieres IS no fear of monetary disturbance, such as ire quentIy occurs at the close of the year. Both call and time rates are so low that securities bring much more satis- factory returns than money at interest, this being a powerful factor in the in- vestment market. We are just ap> proaching the January investment de> mand, which always absorbs many millions of securities; but aside from this there is a surprisingly good de mand for desirable investments, espe. cially Bonds,. which has not been satis- fled by gecent heavy offerings. Within a few weeks these have included about $S0,000,O0o Japanese, $25. 100000 New York. S25, ,ooe, 900 Rock Island, S40,000,- GOO Mexicans and a number of smaller issues, besides which Missouri Pacific proposes an issue Of $50, ,000,O 900 and Atchison like amount. Or the two latter only about tohe-haIf will be put on the market at present. It is quite safe to say that fully 2OO,0o0,ooo of new issues have been announced with in the last two months, and it is prob able the limit has not yet been reached.
