The New York Herald, discoursipe on the
cost OF elections In the United States, saws
that what the expense 10, In q general can
vass like that which has Just drawn To q
close, IL IL diffieult to estimate with any ap-
proach TO accuracy, for there are no statis-
tics extsnt upon the SUBJECT, and the poll
ticians who plan and conduct campaigns are
naturally reticent upon such matters. At
any rate the expense must be something
enormous. Campaign documents must be
printed and Distributed; the rental OF halls
must be paid for as well as the services Of
stump speakers; the telegraph must be free
ly used; banners, torches, uniforms pur-
chased, &c, &c. A paragraph has lately
been going the rounds OF the press to the
effect that the strenuous campaign in In
diana preparatory to the recent state cleo
tion consumed ten million dollars; but this
Is probably an exaggeration. The Herald
estimates the average cost of q Presidential
election at about one million i've hundred
thousand dollars for each of the great op-
posing parties. or q total Of three million
dollars. Accepting this as within the bounds
OF probability it would seem that the OK.
pense OF putting Mr.. Tilden or Mr.. Hayes
into the White House is fifteen times greater
than the whole amount OF salary paid to the
incumbent during his term of four years.
Calling the population OF the country about
forty millions this would be equivalent to
tax OF seven and one half cents Q head for
every man, woman and child In the United
States. The maintenance OF the court of
France for the first year of the Second EN-
pire was less than two cents per head OF the
population. 1t appears that the cost of
making President may be greater than
that of keeping q prince.

Here are q few facts about Presidential
elections. Washington and John Adams
were elected by electors chosen by state leg
fslatures. Thomas Jefferson was elected In
isoo by the House OF Representatives over
Aaron Burr and John Adams. John Quincy
Adams was elected President in the same
way In 1924. These are the only two instances
In the history of the government where
Presidents have been elected by the House
OF Representatives. There have been rve
minority Presidents" so far as the popu-
lar vote has been concerned, viz: John
Quincy Adams, In 1924; James X. Polk, In
1874; Zachary Taylor, In 1s4s; James Buch-
anan, In 1856; and Abraham Lincoln, In 1860.
In 1874 there were four candidates In the
Heidi. q Adams, Andrew Jackson, w. III
Crawford, and Henry Clay. Adams received
1Oo,S21 votes, Jackson 155 ,s72, and the other
two candidates combined, about 100 OoO In
1874 Polk received ,357 ,2i3 against 1,36l 1862
votes for Clay. In 1913 Taylor received
1,36o,o99 against about 800 900 for Cass and
Van Buren. In 1856 Buchanan received
1,sSs, ,lG9 against ,215, ,79s votes cast for Ere
mont and others. In 1850 Lincoln received
1856 s52 sgsinst 2,SlO. sol votes cast for Doug
lass and breckenridge.

The unfsvorable weather of to-day,
wherever IL extends, will tend TO diminish
the popular vote considerably. There are
many aged voters and valetudinarians who
would venture 10 the polls on a fair day to
deposit their ballots, who dare not venture
the experiment In ipclement weather.

The Arctic Disaster.

A great disaster has overtaken feet of
whaling vessels in the Arctic sea. Fifteen
of them, mostly from New Bedford, started
on voyage last summer after the now pre-.
cious OIL that would bring comfort and lux
uries to their owners and the sailors. The
time having gone past when the pursuit Of
their unwieldly game could be conducted in
the temperate waters they were obliged to
60 to the far north. They reached Point
Barrow about the first of August and were
then overwhelmed by series of unavoidable
misfortunes. They were locked in for sever
al weeks by large field of ice, which finally
broke and allowed the sailors to engage in
their usual pursuits for few days. Then
they fell into another trap Of ice from which
there was no escape for the greater part
After series Of struggles and hardships
two vessels, the Florence and Three b rothers
made their escape to carry the news to their
homes. Twelve vessels and their crews re-
main fast bound for the long winter season.
Part of the men, it is said preferred to re-
main with their ships till summer and try to
save a part of their property.
Those who were fortunate enough to es-
cape think that death must be the sure fate
OF the men now imprisoned in the ice. Per-
hap1 part Of them may return but it will
be with story of hardship and suffering
New Bedford suffers the greater part Of
the loss, financial and otherwise. The total
loss is roughly estimated at half million
dollars. But though their best sons are
lost forever and their carefully boarded saw
ings are swallowed up by the sea, the old
whaling towns of which Nantucket and New
Bedford are familiar and typical representa-
tives, will continue to cling to their old ira
dtions aud make the wide sea their home
aud their grave.

The Coming Election.


Before another issue of our paper reaches
the eyes Of our readers, the momentous ques.
ton, who shall be the next president of
the United States, with its many accom-.
panying issues, will have been decided
by the voice Of the people. The excitement
is nearly at its height aud every nerve is
strained to obtain news advantageous to
either side. A glance over the field shows
that neither side has extensive ground for
claiming sure victory, and that whichever
candidate wins will do it "by the skin of his
teeth" The republican canvass is con-
Quoted on much better principles than be-
fore the October elections, and they are feel
ing increased strength aud confidence thereby.
The cry of the bloody shirt is less heard and
is being replaced by Gov. Hayes letter and
other like sensible documents AS we said
last week, the troops in the south will 60 no
further than to preserve peace and order,
and to protect both parties at the polls.
This view is now taken by the best men of
the democratic party.
In all the states, except New York, there
is scarcely more than the usual excitement
aud work. But, in the state mentioned,
there is bound to be perhaps the hardest po-
litical fight ever known in that state. The
republicans accede the democrats $4,000
majority in New York city, but expect to
overcome this majority by gains in the state
at large. The democrats are very confident
Of success, aud are letting no stone remain
unturned that will aid them 10 gaining q
victory.
We are glad that the campaign is being
carried on on so much better principles than
before the October elections. The side that
receives defeat will have the sting in a
measure taken out by this knowledge. In
deed the battle is likely to be SO close that
the victor will probably have majority of
not more than 50 electoral votes.
BY next Wednesday the president Of the
United States for the next four years will be
known. Who shall it be?
