Thirteen states held elections,
Tuesday.
What a providence it would be
if some discriminating mob should
lay its hands on bank-wrecker
Mosher and forget to let go.
The grand old party is showing
many responsible evidences of life.
It took in about everything in
sight, Tuesday, and yearns for
more worlds to conquer.
Harrison was not overwhelm
ingly elected, just triumphantly so.
The returns are not all in, but
enough to show that victorious
eagles have perched upon the ban
ner of the brave, and Ohio men
•ire still invincible.
Out of 10,000 or more babies
left at the Children’s building dur
ing the world’s fair but one was
unclaimed at the final roundup.
The scheme of providing this con
venience for mothers visiting the
exposition was seriously opposed
at the outset for the reason that a
similiar institution established in
eounection with the Paris Exposi
tion found several hundred chil
dren to provide homes for when
the fair is over. A lA/mpttiison of
results illustrates in a conspicuous
manner the difference between soc
ial ethics in France and America.
Senator Yoorhees is certainly
not in an enviable position just at
present, politically speaking. His
fiat money constituents do not feel
proud of the part he took in assist
ing the president to secure the
passage of the repeal bill, nor are
they likely to take any stock in his
promised efforts to push a measure
for an increased coinage of silver
through congress. Senator Yor
hees’ sincerity was questioned by
both the friends and foes of repeal
from the very beginning, and the
prospects are that he will have
some difficulty in maintaining a
consistent attitude upon the mone
tary question.
It lias rained cranks in New
York and Brooklyn and other cities
during the past week. On Monday
the ball opened with the arrest of
eight in New Yoik and five in
Brooklyn who were looking, most
of them, for distinguished people
who owed them a big lot of money.
Some were murderously inclined
and some apparently merely fool
ish. The shooting of Mayor Har
rison has excited this uprising of
monomaniacs. The best place for
cranks of many descriptions at the
present time is behind bars until
the storm blows over. It is only
when a tragedy of this sort occurs
that people are made aware of the
large number of human beings
inhabiting the border land between
sanity and lunacy.
The defeat of Maynard and the
election of Gary shows that the
heart and conscience of Americans
are yet sound. Of the signs of
moral and social decay which have
caused anxiety for the last few
years, noue has been more grave
than the disposition manifest in
some quarters to lower and debase
the standard of the judicary; to
elect politicians of bad character
or ignorant and vicious demagog
ues to the bench, the latter pledged
to wrench aud distort the statutes
in the interest of the faction that
elected them. It is now seen that
this form of corruption was tem
porary. The people cannot endure
for long the spectacle of a degrad
ed and polluted judiciary. There
is an instinct stronger than any
party or machine which demands,
when the test is made, that the
unworthy, corrupt, and ignorant
judge shall step down and the just
judge shall remain in his high
place. This regard for justice and
its real administrators, which in the
long run always asserts itself, is
one of the greatest encouragements
to believe in the capacity of the
people for self-government.
The latest Anarchist outrage in
Spain, in which bombs were hurl
ed into the center of a crowded
Barcelona theater, but emphasizes
the ueccessity for treating the
“reds” like the venomous reptiles
that they are. The vindication of
Judge Gary in Chicago assures the
people of America that justice will
be dealt out to that class in Chi
cago in the future, as, save for
for Governor Altgeld’s interven
tion, it has been in the past.
Massachusetts for the first time
since the days cf the old colonial
Governors will have a chief magis
trate of foreign birth. Mr. Green
halge, elected on Tuesday, is by
birth an Englishman. This, how
ever, is not to be taken as another
demonstration of Anglomania—
though it may reconcile Boston to
the innovation that the new Gov
ernor “is English, you know.”
Where Judge Holcomb gained
in the late lamented election, it was
in almost every instance a wild and
tumultuous protest against the
turning down of Byran and not
against the sodding under of Rose
water. The republicans endorsed
the latter act, and only expressed
sorrow that justice had been so
long delayed.—Journal.
Boss Choker, Boss Hill, Boss
McLaughlin, Boss Altgeld, the
Anarchists, the Populists and the
Confederate Brigadier Repudia
tionists, were all swept from the
face of the earth by one great tidal
wave Wednesday, and it was the
only marine disaster of the year
over which the people have rejoic
ed.
The elections in Kansas Tues
day show that the Democratic par
ty in that state has determined to
brace up. It is beginning to show
some pride of ancestry and hope
of posterity.

IN GENERAL.
As a general rule a light vote
was polled at Tuesday’s elections
throughout the country, in spite of
the bitterness of the campaign.
In Iowa the republicans made a
clean sweep, Jackson’s plurality
being placed at 30,000.
Governor McKinley of Ohio was
re-elected by a plurality of about
80,000,
J udge Bartlett, defeated J udge
Maynard in New York by a plural
ity of 50,000. The republicans al
so claim a majority in the legisla
ture.
Massachusetts goes republican'
by a big plurality.
The democrats claim a clean
sweep in Virginia.
Judge Gary of Chicago w'as
elected.
The Republicans get the state
officers in Pennsylvania.
Fusion in Kansas wras a failure
and a Republican victory is claim
ed.
In Colorado the elections were
for ccunty officers. The Republi
can ticket was successful in Den
ver. The question of suffrage was
an issue, and it is predicted that it
has carried by a good majority.
South Dakota caught the inspir
ation of the hour and elected the
Republican candidates for judicial
honors.
Maryland and Michigan remain
ed in the Democratic ranks.
The securing of many of tlie
world’s fair exhibits by the Califor
nia Midwinter exposition will af
ford thousands an opportunity to
see them again. A great many peo
ple living at considerable distances
made from two to half a dozen vis
its to Chicago, and some of these,
in addition to those who were able
to make but one visit, will gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity
to take another look in connection
with sampling the “glorious cli
mate of California.” Itisgratify
ing to observe that that excellent
teacher, experience, has taught the
railroads something, and that low
rates are to begin with the begin
ing of the Midwinter Exposition
instead of coming in with the “be
ginning of the end,” as in the case
of the world’s fair.
The administration of the affairs
of the postal department under the
management of General Wanna
maker was progressive, competent
and business-like. He entered the
service with clear and intelligent
ideas for its improvement and
took advanced ground in reforms
that have proved of immense value
to the public. In the forthcoming
report of Postmaster General Bis
sell no recommendations will be
found looking to improvements or
experiments promising a better
service. This is due to two im
portant facts—there is little room
for reform, and if there was, the
present administration would not
know how to take advantage of it.
Congressman Waugh has intro
duced a bill to come up in the re
gular session later, that will stop a
good deal of monkeying with the
pension list. It provides that be
fore the bureau can “suspend” a
soldier’s pension, it must furnish
him with a copy of all charges
made against him with the name
of the person making them, so that
he will have an opportunity of ans
wering intelligently. According
to the Hoke Smith programme,
the charges are made in secret and
the soldier is suspended first, and
may get a hearing some time or
other at the leisure of the govern
ment, without knowing definitely
what he has been accused of or
who si his accuser.
The Republicans of Hitchcock
county scored a great victory, on
Tuesday, electing the entire ticket
save sheriff and commissioner.

The plan of detailing special
officers to guard the White House
is not in the nature of an unnec
cessary provision. It is nothing
more than the exercise of judicious
precaution. It is the teaching of
history that the outbreak of homi
cidal impulse in one crank is pret
ty certain to exert a contagious in
fluence. Prendergast, the assassin
of Carter Harrison, is more than
likely to find imitators, and as men
in public station are favorite objects
of attack with murderous lunatics
of his class, the safe-gaurds which
have been provided for the protec
tion of the President are more time
ly and proper.
Statistics at the treasury tie
•i
partment show a falling off of
about 45,000 in the number of
immigrants for the nine months
ended September 30, as compared
with the corresponding period for
the preceding year. This decrease
was doubtless due in part to the
precautions observed at American
ports of entry on account of chol
era. The total number of arrivals
for the period named was 320,517,
and as long as the influx of for
eigners to America maintains such
a generous volume, there is no
reason to become excited about
proscription against the European
immigration.
The Populists are making just
as much noise this fall in Virginia
as in former years when they were
cleaned out, root and branch, by
the Democratic party.
