An Unusually Large Vote—Analyais of the Returns, Revised returns of Tuesday's election from the fourteen counties of Vermont give Grout (republican), 53,076, and Jack- son (democrat), 13,983, a republican plural- ity of 39,093. The total vote cast approximated and may have reached 8,000. This was a mall fraction over 20 per cent of the pop- ulation, which in Vermont has two pecu- Mar characteristics. In the first place, it is very nearly at a standstill. In 184 the census showed the presence of 332,28) ple, and ten years later it stood at a gain of only 156 persons. In the second place, there are mcre women in the state than men, a phenomenon that prevails to a greater cr less extent throughout the New England states. As a the normal voting strength of the not only unusually stable, but it i an in compar'son with other states where the sexes are more evenly divided or men pre- dominate. The normal voting ratio in a community is one-fifth of the entire popu- letion, this fraction representing the pro- portion of male adults to women and chil- dren. In 1890, when the people chose a governor, there were 54,226 votes cast, or 16 per cent of the population. In total pres: 74, small fraction over 16 per cent. In the vote for governor aggregated 5X1 a. very little more than 17 per cent. shews the difficulty of getting out in V ment what in other states wouid be garded cs a full vote.

ANOTHER CASHIER WANTED For the’ Accommodation of the Taxpayers ot the District. Collector Davis Agreeably Surpriscd = There Vit Been No Falling om in the Receipts. Taxpayers who are compelled to make the journey te the District building and there stand in along line for varic periods from half an hour to three or four hours, will be pleased with one feature of Collector Davis’ annual report, which will urge the Commissioners to induce Con- gress to provide him with another cashier in order that the public may be better ac commodated. A few days before the exptration of the time in which taxpayers are permitted to pey thetr taxes there is always a great rush to the District buildiag. The tax- payers know well enough that if their taxes are not paid within the stipulated time they will be subject to a penalty of 1 per cent. So they come in crowds, with the result that the single cashier ts delug- Before the hour of opening the build- ing 8 the crowd has formed a line, and this ts gradually augmented until it extends in a se deems trall through the halls and r90ms occupied by the tax col- lee The law only allows one cashier, and as he ts a bonded officer and is re- sponsible for ali mistakes, no one can as- sist him. At present the District has an efficient cashier, and one who is very fast in receiving money and making change. But he is unequal to these big crowds. Auy one would be. They press and squeeze to get to the little window, and then wait impatiently for the r. or the money they According to the I ctor of taxes another ceshie~ will be provided, which will at least help matters by dividing the crowds.
