During this interval a good deal of
rough soldierly chatting passed be

the latter retorting with the epithet

fails to goad Goorkha to frenzy.
At length, early oEe morning, one of

What are we to do? These Malone
ties want us to vote with the Republi-
cans so as to be in accord with the
North, and the North is repudlating the
Republican party. Just while they were
dressing up to the Republican line, Ohio
with her Republican majority of $4,000
about faced and dressed on the Demo-
cratic column and holds her Democratic
position by majority of over 10000.
That Republican column is Citing very
shaky. New YORK is conceded to the
Democrats by many Republicans. Penn
sylvania promises to 60 the same way.
Indiana and New Jersey will add to the
strength of the Democrats, and there is
such feeling of uneasiness among the
Republicans, that they would not be
much surprised, if their lines even in
the staunchest Republican States were
swept away by the flood tide of Demo-
cratic Victories sweeping the country,
In the Democratic party is the only
hope of the preservation of the liberties
of the people. The Democratic party is
indeed the friend of the masses. Its
policy has always been against the OPP
preston of the many for the benefit OF
the few. Light seems to be dawning
and we can begin to anticipate more
glorious future for the people Of the
government.

MALONE CALLING FOR MONEY
Despite the confident predictions OF the
Richmond Wing, Senator Mahone's
organ, of an overwhelming Coalition
victory in Virginia, in which 1t has
INDUCED daily for the past three
months, it seems that even before the
Ohio election the Virginia Senator was
calling on the Republican national
committe for funds with which to pros
ecute his campaign. Under date OF Oc-
tober End Senator Malone wrote to the
secretary of the national Republican
committee: 1--WE ought to have help at
the earliest day now" and two days
later Col. James d. Brady, chairman OF
the Republican executive committee
and an intimate personal and political
friend of Malone, wrote to the Repub-
lican committee: "It Ia of vital import
ance that we should receive financial
help within the next five days." Col.
Brady estimated that at least $4,000
was needed in Virginia. The CORES
pondence is an Interesting contribution
to the political literature of the present
campaign, and will serve to show the
Democrats of Virginia the influences
which they will probably have to en-
counter at the November election.

A REPRODUCTIVE COMET.-The pres
ent comet in the Eastern sky, which
can be distinctly seen by every one at
early morning, is certainly the most re-.
markable one of all the modern comets.
Prof Lewis Swift, director of the War
ner Observatory, Rochester, N. T.,
states that the comet grazed the sun so
closely as to cause great disturbance, SO
much so that il has divided into no less
than eight separate parts, all of which
can be distinctly seen by good tele-
scope. There is only one other instance
on record where comet has divided,
that one being Biella's comet of 1916,
which separated into two parts. APP.
plications have been made on Mr.. II.

these cometary offsboots, claiming the
5000 prize for each one of them. Wheth'

1.-THE A BOMINA TION."-We are
pleased to note the disposition mani
tested by the Democratic press of the
country to put down the internal reve-
nue. system. 1t is an odious, unneces-
sary department., and one which was
unknown so long IS the Democrats
controlled the General Government.
There was last year surplus revenue
of one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars, and if the Administration had
been as economical as it might have
been there would have been astill larger
surplus. But let it suffice that the sur
plus was greater in amount than the
total of all the internal taxes. This one
fact ought of itself to doom the inter
nal revenue department-not simply
because it is unnecessary, but because
it is burthen which it were an outrage
longer to keep upon the shoulders of
the Taxpayers Richmond Dispatch.
