III IETN.NFs
NEW. YORK

This Is giving the Democrats every
State that they can claim. When the re-
suit is closely analysed it looks even better
for the Republicans than appears Ia the
comparison by States. The Republicans
have gained Surrogate In New York city,
have elected a Republican Mayor In the
Democratic city OF Brooklyn, and have
elected sll the State ticket except Tressur-
er, while the Democrats have small ma
joFity In the Legislature.
The Republicans have carried virginia
by hard lighting, and broken the back OF
the Solid South. This IL a clear. decisive
udimportant gain which sweeps the State
clean and puts Republican into the United
States Senate in place OF Confederate
General
In New Jersey also the Republicans gain
a Senator in place OF Mcpherson. This,
with the Senator gained in Virginia, makes
our majority In the Senate secure.
Nobody but the remarkable Matthew Att
clan OF the New York World can figure any
thing from these results satisfactory TO
Democratic politicians.

csncies in the county officers with the men
the people elected in each county, whether
they be Republicans or Fusion, does not
meet with favor with the fusion organs.
IL seems 20 Us that such course would be

is understood that the Council would
promptly confirm appointments made up
on that basis, IL would end sll delay and

sport; and it is no wonder that the at
tempt to subject them to official super
vision should be met with energetic re-
monstrance.
The right of the State to interfere
with these associations il not very
clear. They do not present the case OF
fraudulent corporations attempting to
cheat policy-holders. Their policy Is
simple and known to every member.
The members cannot be forced to pay
the assessments; any member can
withdraw whenever he feels disposed
to. The obligations are voluntarily as
sumed, and can be voluntarily re-
nounced. The system, perhaps, is liza
BILE to abuse. and the voluntary feature
which is Its only power of conference
may give way in a few years, and the
system itself disappear. But it might
be the wisest course to leave it to these
natural agencies. The organizations
have been at work in the State for sev-
sral years, and we do not recall a sim
gle example of fraudulent management
or bankruptcy. In fact, there is little
in them to furnish material for either
fraudulentmanagement or bankruptcy.
Their resources are i'm the pockets of the
members, and are paid in only on vol
untary assessments,a method which in
sures a management that is acceptable
to and approved by the members. Tn
fact. each organization is as completely
at The mercy of the members as the pol
icy-holders of an ordinary insurance
company are at the mercy Of the COM
ny.-RepubLicdn.

The Woman Suffrage Association, of

and delegation has been appointed to
go to Jefferson City and persuade the
impressionable Legislature to submit q
proposed amendment to thu Constitu-
ton to the voters of the State that will
confer equal rights without regard to
sex or previous condition. The ladies
will find Gov. Crittenden a courteous
and attentive gentleman and they will
doubtless be able to secure his interest
in their behalf. Mr.. Crittenden's fine
personal appearance and chivalrous
bearing. together with his interest in the
babies of the State, secured him the re-
spect and influence of the ladies wher-
ever he went in his canvass last year.
We wouldn't like to say that the ladies'
elected him, but we all know what the
influence of the mothers and wives
amount to in political campaign. If
the Governor is filled with complete
sense of gratitude he will join Mrs. Mi
nor and her sad sisters in their demand
for enfranchisement.

of riotous merrymakers, mainly stu
dents, gathered before the chief cafe of
the town, much frequented by the He

tration. They smashed the windows
and mobbed all the Jews whom they
met. The police were comparatively
helpless. Another cafe. was invaded
