FAIR RUN OF
HORSE FLESH
SALE FRIDAY WAS GOOD
PRICES SHOW A DECLINE in
THE EAST
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The usual number of buyers were at
the horse sale yesterday and about $50
horses We're on the market The prices
snow decline and are expected to 80
continue for time owing to the fact
that the prices in the eastern markets
nave declined considerably. Some of
the shippers claim that the prices pre-
Ya1ling here Yesterday were in excess
OF those at the horse market in Chica-
go and Buffalo during the week.
About 115 head were disposed of DUR
ing the sale yesterday and notwith-
standing the decline in prices, there
was good market for the better
grade Of horses and they brought
fair price. The highest figure paid
for single horse was $235, and $40
for the best team.
The poorer quality of horses pre-
dominated In yesterdays sale although
there was fair run of good horses.
The common, thinner quality We're
weak, owing to the small demand for
that class at this time.
The farmers are holding the prices
too high for the present market and
VIII have to come down some to meet
the demand Of the eastern buyers, who
insist, according to the "Drovers' Jour
nal that they will not pay the prices
wanted for western horses.

The per ethtaee Of lost votes in the
election on Tuesday affords an argu-
ment to the opponents of the voting
machines who say that system that
involves SO much explanation and
chance for error is wrong. This is
hardly a fair statement. The voters had
become accustomed to the use of the
machines and voted at the fall cleo
tion with small per centage of errors.
But the simplicity Of the method on
Tuesday was misleading to those who
expected trouble and because of it,
and the bells not ringing, they did too
much. On the other hand, does any
one believe that if ballots were used
every one of which had to be marked
in particular manner, there would
have been less errors? On the con-
trary, judging from past experience,
there would have been all sorts OF
marking, a great amount of wrangling
by the election officers over marked
ballots, and the throwing out OF
more ballots than there were votes
lost on the machines. The machines
are all right.

THE way this State is reaching out
into new avenues of usefulness in some
cases and striving to strengthen it's
work already started in others, is seen
in the appropriations of the last State
Legislature. For establishing evening
schools for foreign-born citizens $l0,-
600 is appropriated for the work of
the State Board of Forest Reservation
Commission $4,000 has been added to
the amount usually allowed; for the
work of the Tenement House Commits
sion S2.675 more than last year has
been granted. Other instances might
be given to show how the State is
branching out continually, and serv-
ing more directly the needs of the peo-
pie in a way unheard of less than a
quarter OF century ago. The fight
ing of the mosquito and the education
of the foreigner, for example, are now
looked upon as necessary work for self
protection.

The practical operation of the refer
endum, as shown by the vote on Tues
day is not calculated to inspire much
hope in the breasts Of the advocates
of that desirable measure. If only
about forty per cent of the voters OF
an intelligent community like Morris
town vote on a question that yitally
affects their health, prosperity anC
finances, what would they do with q
sentimental question in which they
had but passive interest. There is
one point that should be noted, In
the Fourth Ward, with more intelli
gent and stable population and where
larger proportion of the voters are
native born, the vote was nearly fifty
per cent. Of the registration, and an
examination of the poll book shows
that it represented men from all walks
of life commuters, laborers, business
men and mechanics. If the initiative
and referendum are to be made sue
cessful there must be general cul-
tiyation of public sentiment.
