The Election.
EDWARD SOARING

The election result is better in Wis
consin than our paper made it to ap-
pear last week. The Republican ma
jority is about 10000. The whole
State ticket is elected. The Legisla-
ture is not SO favorable. There are
believed to be in the Honse 48 Re-
publIcans, ~ Democrats, 7 Green
backs, Independents and | Social
list. The Senate has 81 Republicans
and II Democrats.
In other States the results were
also more favorable to the Republi-
cans than was expected. They have
large majorities IN Minnesota, Kan
sas and Nebraska. They haYe gained
largely in NewYork. In that State
and Connecticut they have good ma
jorities in the Legislatures. The fact
is, the Republicans have done better
this fall than in any off year for per
haps six years except in Ohio and
Pennsylvania. In Ohio the Hayes
southern policy and Stanley Matthews
were too heavy to carry, and in Penn
sylvania the Hayes policy and Gamer
on were the burden. The results, on
the whole, promise new era, and
new successes for the Republican
party.

as to the probable ter ination OF

have acquired great reputation for
sagacity in this direction.
Another species is the heroic novel
full of bloody deeds and hair-bfeadth

for the young, and seems to have

Business and the Weather..
There never was known so many
varieties of weather on the island as
we have had this year. 1t has ralned
torrents, blown hurricanes and frozen
solid, and now it is good, decent
mid summer weather. To-day as /
write the thermometer marks So, and
it is uncomfortaoly warm. Business
is first rate. TIE passage of the silver
bin is a disturbing element, and has
done something toward unsettling
values, but no one believes it will
pass the Senate and so it hasn't done
much damage. The city is full of
merchants and an immense amount. of
goods is being sold. Business men
are feeling better.

The War.

The beginning of the end of the
Turko. Russian war appears to be APP
preaching. In every part of the field
of conflict the Turks seem to be losing
ground Mukhtar Pasha has not re-
covered from his terrible defeat near
Kars, bat is still on the retreat toward
Erzeroum, with the Grand Duke
Michael in swift pursuit, capturing
fresh battalions almost daily. He is
in desperate situation, and if he is
attacked and defeated again, which
must involve the necessity of the fall
of Erzeroum, the war on the Asiatic
side will be at an end, and Armenia
will be held by the Russians, to be
claimed in the final settlement as In
demnity for the expense of the war.
In Europe the prospects are but little
brighter. The Russian army around
Plevna has made a change of front,
only to seal up Osman Pasha more
tightly. His communications with
Sofia are disturbed, so that there is
little hope of his obtaining provisions
and other supplies from that quarter.
One force seeking to relieve him,
Achmet Pasha's has been captured,
and the Russian cavalry are driving
Chevket Pasha's army in wild disor-
der away from their communications
with Osman Pasha, with a prospect
of capturing at least a portion of them
Raouf Pasha has squandered thous-
ands of lives trying to force the Rus
SLAMS from their formidable position
in the Balkans at Shipka without any
success, and can do nothing more in
those cold, stormy attitudes before an.
other year. Suleiman Pasha, the re-
knowned Turkish fighter, who sue
ceeded Mehemet Ali, has done moth
ing but retreat since he reached the
LON, and Is now in danger of being
crushed between the armies OF the
Czarowitch and Gen. Zimmerman. the
latter of which is now on the march
after its long rest, towards Silistria.
Everywhere the Turks are losing
ground, and from their movements it
would appear that they are seeking a
soft spot for the final fail. The des-
perate character of their situation is
indicated very clearly by the peace
discussion which is now being agitat.
ed in England, and the somewhat of
fcious if not impudent proposition
that Russia shall make peace upon
the original basis as decided by the
Conference. There are several reas-
ons why Russia will not consent to
such an arrangement First. being
victor she will dictate her own terms. |
Second, she has lost already nearly
10000 men, for which there must be |
a recompense. Third, she has been |
at enormous expense, and if Germany
could exact indemnity from France, |
she will not hesitate to exact indem-
nifty in territory and money from Tur-
key. Fourth, the terms originally |
made by Russia were so modified in |
the Conference that they nearly dis.
If she is going to make |
any terms that were proposed in the |
Conference, she will be more likely to |
take her original proposition than the
same proposition whitfield down to
almost nothing. She will make the
final settlement with Turkey herself
and that settlement will de upheld by
Germany. AS against the action of |
these two giants the remonstrance of |
the other Powers would be of little |
avail. Chicago Tribune.

THE victory on the whole is most
cheering and shows the vitality of the
Republican party. For this most
gratifying result great credit is due to
the chairman of the Republican State
Committee, the Hon. Horace Rublee,
late U. S. Minister to Switzerland.
Enjoying the confidence of the party,
an honest capable man, he presented
the issue of the contest with great
clearness and exposed with crushing
force, the quackery and humbuggery
of the issues put forward by the green
hackers, and stood ont boldly for hon.
esty, decency and the National Honor.
The people have responded nobly.-

HERE is another reason why the
gold and other money gamblers want
more paper money issued. 1t must
De granted by all intelligent men
that the greater the issue of paper,
as compared with gold the cheaper
it becomes. With S700,000,000 of
paper currency in existence it is
nearly at par with gold. Withs1,-
100000 900 paper money it would
take at least Sl20 of paper to buy
s1.00 of gold. Now the bondholders
have over $4,000, 100000 of the U. s.
bonds on which the Government
PAYS interest. The Greenbackers
say they would convert all this that
is due and payable into greenbacks
But there would still remain about
s1,500,000,000 which are not due
and payable. The interest is contract
ed to be paid in coin. The contract
cannot be broken. Suppose the in
terest is now about per cent. On
s1,5OO,OOO,OOO it would be s75,OOO,-
900 annually. While gold and paper
are at par this is all we have te pay.
When the bondholding and green
back conspirators get up the margin
of 20 per cent between gold and
greenbacks it would take s9O,OOO,OOO
to buy tho gold to pay the interest
with. When they get the margin
up to 40 per cent, as they soon
would, it would take sos. 100000 to
buy gold to pay the interest with.
Thus the bondholders and their
brokers would soon have double the
opportunity they now have to spec
uIate off of the people.
