Result in these two states is not
what Republicans desired, but uu-
der all circumstances, is not bad.
In Ohio the Republicans gained
five Congressman, most important
triumph. In Cincinnati the Repub-
licans permitted some two thous.
and illegal votes to be polled, when
they ought TO have prevented it.
This we learn from the Cincinnati
Commercial, Independent paper.
TIE Republicans were Over-confi-
dent. Their candidate for Secrets
~ of State seems to have been an
unpopular man, and hurt the ticket
q great deal. Next month the fight
will be q clear one opon National
issues, and we shall expect to see
the 5000 majority increased to at
least $4,000 for Hayes.
Indiana was q "drawn battle. I"
The Democrats got . pair of ''blue
jeans" breeches by about 1000 ma
iority, while the Republicans gained
three Congressman and the legisla-
ture. The Democratic majority of
1874, two years ago, was 1900 in
round numbers. A reduction of
1900 will do pretty well, and
promises good results for next
month. The ''tidal wave" did not
''put in an appearance" and the
Democrats are at least robbed of
the effects Of the victory they ex.
pected in this State.
The aggressive campaign" of
three months ago seems to have
been effectually squelched. AL
though ''breeches" beat brains for
governor, the Congressional del
egation stands nine Republicans to
four Democrats. A gain of three
the gain in number being proper.
tiOnately greater in ability, making
the Indiana delegation one of the
very strongest in the Union. 1t
must be borne in mind that the
Rep ublicans have not carried the
State at the October elections since
1868, and then their majority for
Governor was only 961. In 1870
the Democratic majority on Secre-
tary Of State was 2,568. In 1872
Mr.. Hendricks was elected COVER
nor by 1,l48 majority, and in 1874
the Democratic majority for Secre-
tary of State, was 1882. The Re-
publicans therefore entered the can
vass this year with the fearful odds |
Of over 1900 against them.
UAder ali the circumstances, they
made . gallant fight. Had they
not made q mistake in nominating
Mr.. Orth In the first place, and then
being compelled to "swap teams
while crossing the stream" they
would undoubtedly have beaten
Mr.. "blue jeans" badly. Having

Ter all their difficulties, and with
II the entangling local issues and
rejudices in their way, and having

lighted to honor. In 1872 he was

CAPITULAR MASONRY.
The Royal Arch degree is generally
conceded the completion of the Mas.
ter, and anciently forming a part o.
its ceremonies.
The Grand Royal Arch Chapter Of
Kansas was organized in February
1856. r. r. Rees presided as Grand
High Priest three years. In 1885
Owen A. Bassett, was elected to that
high office which ne filled for three
years. He was succeeded by E. D.
Hillyer in 1928. Mr.. Price, r. j.
Anderson and D. Byington have lately
presided in the Grand East OF the

CRYPTIC MASONRY
was introduced into America in 1863
as an sppendage to a Grand Lodge OF
Perfection. In some states it is given
as an aPpendage to the Royal Arch.

1t is Q healthy sign that our ex-
ports largely exceed our imports.
In 1875 the first eight months we
imported, in value, $374,9S9,5Il,
and exported $390,S32, 5S8, an ex-
cess in our favor of $l5.S43.O77. In
1876. the same month, our imports
amounted to $3O5, 9O4, 1872, and our
exports to $4OS, $3.50, 573, or an excess
OF exports over imports, of $1O2,-
777,S4l. This is a healthy indica-

The State Superintendent OF Insur-
ance has this year issued 1 1928 Ii cences
to agents. Last year there were issu-
ed only 1909. The standard for the
admission of companies to this S tate
is very high, but it is thought it will
be raised next Commonwealth
It is not high enough yet to make
the companies comply with the insur-
aRce laws of the State. Most of them
violate the law requiring them to
publish a yearly report of the business
and condition, and the state superin-
tendent permits this violation of law
to go right along year alter year.
