4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON FRIDAY.......... .... November 2, 188%. CROSBY S. NOYES. The Evening Star has a regular, permanent bona fide daily circulation more than treble that of any other daily paper published in Washington, and much greater than that of all the other daily papers here added together. New Jersey is, next to Connecticut, the small state which is receiving the most attention from both parties. In every presidential elec- tion since the war began, with the single ex- ception of 1872, the democrats have carried the day; but the recent rapid Seep ae manu- facturing enterprises there, an distinct- ness of the issue this year between a high and @ low tariff, have made the republicans so me- what more hopeful. In this state, as in Con- necticut, the greeback party, since merged into the labor party, hada thrifty growth for sev- eral years, but has had to give way of late to the prohibition party, which from so small a beginning as 191 votes for Neal Dow in 1880,has forced itself into the third place and become a factor to be considered in every calculation. The importance of the prohibition vote can be seen from the following table, in which the second column indicates the officer voted for in each instance; the third the total vote of the state; the fourth the frohibition vote, and the fifth the plurality obtained by either of the great parties: 1887. . .Legislature . .233,019. . 12,622... ..2,619R. In either 1884 or 1886, as will be seen, the prohibition vote, cast for the republican ticket, could have reversed the result in the state. In 1887 it was scattered, of course, between seventy or eighty candidates, but, if massed, could have swung the state into any column it chose. As bearing upon the result in 1888, the fact is worth noting that Clinton B. Fisk, who is the prohibition candidate for President, was the prohibition candidate for governor in 1886, when his party rolled up its largest vote, nearly 20,000, This year, as has been said, the condi- tions hitherto existing will be modified by the introduction of the tariff as the one pronounced issue of the campaign. The industrial centers of the state are Camden, Essex, Hudson, Mercer, Middlesex, Passaic, and Union coun- ties. In Camden county the republicans have a normal plurality of between 1,000 and and 2,000; in Essex they formerly had the same, but the election o@ 1886 gave the democrats the advantage by about 900 votes. In Hudson, where Jersey City and Hoboken lie, the democratic plurality ranges all the way from 3,500 to 8,500, according to the personal popularity of the candidates and the local ques- tions involved. In Mercer, there is a republi- can majority of, say 500, largely fed by the pottery interest; but this is precisely reversed in Middlesex, the site of the Amboys and New Brunswick, where transportation is at the low- est point of cost, and the local industries, as a rule, are eager for the cheapest raw material they can get. Passaic may be counted on for a republican plurality of from 1,500 to 2,000, and Union for about 1,000 on the same side. The distribution of honors in these counties is ! therefore pretty close, and more will depend | on the strength of the third party movement this fall than perhaps at any time hitherto in the recent history of the state. $$$ Attorney-General Tabor, of New York, has modified his opinion on the election laws in the line indicated the other day by Tae STAR as the best solution of the difficulty. He now holds that no voter who is present at the proper polling place when the hour for closing arrives ean be deprived of his vote, no matter how late circumhstances for which he is not responsible compel him to wait before casting it. This is a sound view of the law, as well as good com- mon sense. The purpose of a statute regulat- ing the process of election is not to throw hind- rances in the way of persons who are entitled to deposit a ballot, but to prevent those from voting who are not soentitled, and most courts will construe the law in accordance with that fundamental principle, influenced by a natural reluctance to disfranchise any competent voter who presents himself for the purpose of voting at the proper place withing the designated hours, and is prevented from casting his ballot within those hours by a fault not his own, ———————— While there is little or no danger that yellow fever will spread in New York from the fatal ease which occurred there last week, or that the disease is likely to gain a foothold in any northern city at this season of the year, the fact that a death resulted from it still ought to serve as an admonition to the country that the subject must be taken in hand and treated he- roically, as the medical faculty phrase it, if it is hoped to stay the ravages of the pestilence next summer. And movements to this end must be both general in their operation and comprehensive in character, if immunity from the epidemic is expected to follow. Not only should every northern town in the line of ex- posure be put in perfect sanitary condition be- fore spring opens, thus reducing the chances of the scourge gaining a foothold in and spread- ing from a number of centers, but the most ef- fective measures ought to be devised and rig- idly enforced for stamping out the disease in Florida itself during the coming winter. In the decimation and demoralization of Jackson- ville, and the shocking state of affairs which existed at other points in the south during the past few weeks, may be seen the deplorable results of that combination of indifference and greed which per- mitted the death-producing seeds of the dis- ease to gain lodgment in the soil of that state last winter; and unless such energetic methods asare applied to the plague spots of the old world be at once enforced in the infested locali- ties there is grave reason to apprehend that every thickly populated part of the country may be subjected to a visitation before the leaves turn brown next autumn. This of course means measures which under ordinary circum- stances would be considered harsh, and even oppressive. It may mean the destruction by fire or other positive agencies of cherished, and possibly valuable, possessions, But it is doubtfal whether any course less certain would properly meet the exigencies of the case, and insure complete safety. As it frequently be- comes necessary to amputate @ poisoned limb to preserve the life of a patient, so ina case like this it is obligatory to remove, at whatever cost, all sources of danger. Neither will it be safe to rely alone upon the voluntary action of the state and municipal authorities of Florida or any other section of the south. It may be doubted whether at the present time they have the financial ability, the requisite power, or the disposition to do what is necessary to be done im an emergency so threatening. The whole country must unite in demanding, and to some extent itshould supply the means as well as THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, a e XE ORD Basoaxs Ar Tre Pasas Bora. | O™* W' have the pleasure of showing any iady this Corset,even if she does not have the slightest desire of purchasing.
