The November Elections Glory E
nnnph for One DaY.

The several State elections which came OF on
Tuesday last, may well be considered Ms most
decisive in their endorsement first, ofthc Rcpub-
loan party and It's administration uf the guvern.
ment, and secondly, in their condemnation Of dis.
honesty and corruption This last feature Of the
election has been siriki1gly manifest in the city
OF New York, where good ciiizens of each party
have united In routing a set Of official thieves
and their tools whose acisof infamous and un-
blushing corruption,l ,ls without precedent in the
history Of any civilized country.
That this fest crnp, purifying mass Of politi-
cal and Of official corruption should have origin
aled and rcveled in the wantonncss Of deslruc-
tim, in the very heart Of our metropolitan city
seems incredible, and yet such is the fact. How
has this condition If alf'irs been brought about
Simply by the great mass Of intelligent citizens
failing to discharge their duties Mt the primary
conventions and nj the ballot box. They have
followed the pursuits Of money making, and have
allowed n set of throat thieves to take hold
of their city government aud control its laws and
use its funds for thoir own personal benefit. In
this manner the taxpayers have been robbed OF
millions OF money,
lad as these matters are, Il is indeed foilu-
nate that they are no worse. 1t is indeed mat
ter OF satisfaction to know that public sentiment
of the right kind is now operating The thieves
md their tools have been met. at the ballot box
with a signal and timely rebuke, and it remain.

Coal Famine.

The cities and towns on ,the Ohio River which
depend on rec eipts from Pittsburg for their sup
plies of coal, are threatened with famine. -Four
weeks ago there was but fourteen inches Of wa

Cincinnati and for some time previous, and since
not even fat boats could descend the river Coal

"lhe lowest point ever reached by the drought in
the river, it is believed, was in the year 1885,
the same rear mentioned by our TOntngany cor

lower than tbs summer--lS7l." The 81 me
writer continues "The drought of that SUNNI r

out with their fiat boats loaded with produce, po-
taloes, &C. and were all caught ina severe
freeze, which closed up the river. stopped navi

potatoes were twenty cents per bushel, in

De 9Th of Two Enhla Men.

Within the past ten days America has lost
two OF her noblemen-Gen. ROBERT ANDERSON
and THoNAs Ewing. The former died at Hice
italy, wSfre he had been for some time with
the view Of regaining his health In that
genial climate. The latter passed away at his
homo in Lancaster, Ohio. Gen. ANDERSON was
born in Kentucky, in 1906, graduated at West
Point in 1925, served in the Black Hawk war,
Indian wars in FlTida, in the wars with Mexico
and was in com.I1nd at Sumpter when the
Shareholders Rebellion broke out. Hon. THoM-
AS EWING was born in Virginia in 1889, and re-
sided 10 Ohio since 1872, In 1916 lie was ad
mitted to the bar and soon became distinguished
% lawyer. In 1881 he was elected by the Wings
To tue United States Senate, and served full
tsrm. In 1910, President HARRISON appointed
him Secretary of the Treasury, aud he was re-
sained by President TYLER. In lS4S, President
TAYLOR appointed him Secretary of the Interior.
q Cabinet office just created! In 1851 he re-
tired from political life and devoted himself to
his profession. He was ripe scholar. an elo
quent orator and statesman. In 1861 he wa
a delegate to HE +" Peace. Congress" but took
no part in its proceedings.

National Arbitration.

The plan of arbitration adopted by the United
States Government and that Of Great Britain for
settling the Alabama and other'causes Of difficult
ty, furnished the civilization of the nineteenth
century with one of its grandest triumphs
and promises hereafter to become fundament-
al part of international law.
Spain, benighted and sanguinary as she has
been, now casts aside her beIlgerent propensity
and proposes to submit grievance to the adju-
dication of an impartial tribunal. Acting doubt
less on established. Spanish precedent, the Con-
s1l at Port au Prince threatened to cut out tue
American vessel Hornet without more ado, but
even Spain begins to see how much better brains
are than bayonets, and king AMAIEcs's Cove n
ment now proposes to submit the case of that
vessel to the decision of an Admiralty court. So
be it. No more competent tribunal could be
found, and If the Hornet be piratical craft, BY
all means let her be condemned ,as such If her
acts have been legal, let her go free under her
flag. But let us have no cutting out and blood
letting about matter which court of admiral
ty only is competent to pass upon.
