claimed the victory as oil their own. But wheKH
lluuor-dealery association works and spends money
to defeat Mr., Maynard, these same Democrats gel
angry and threaten, and take care to state that an
election Of that sort proves nothing anyway about
the strength Of parties.
The Republican State Committee has been
said to have been unfortunately constituted
because 1t was so constituted as to provoke
criticism in sensitive quarters, which 10
was most desirable, in such campaign,
to conciliate. The work. for those deal.
ing with the dsaffected elements, was thus
made harder. But no person familiar with the
details Of the contest just closed successfully
will doubt the admirable service the State
Committee rendered. Hampered as it was
by all sorts of unfavorable conditions,
it contrived to allay discontents, to concliate
hostile elements, and make the most of the small
means at ITS disposal. We take pleasure in saying
that its chairman, Mr.. Warren, particu-
larly disappointed his hostile critics, and
rendered excellent service TO the Republican
cause The Committee, under tine circumstances.
was doubtless wise in not attempting campaign
of much speaking, and in devoting what
resources it had to the quiet circulation OF docu-
ments Yet we wish the Cooper Institute meeting
could have been held two weeks earlier. In
that case we can now see tudO lho hnPoi'Ahonb
speech" of Mr.. Evarts and Mr.. Depew's admirable
companion piece would probably have swept tho
whole State ticket through.
1t appears probable that the Mexican conference
over the constitutional amendment abolish
ing interstate customs, which began Its
sessions October / will recommend the modification
Of the vexatious regulations which have handi-
capped internal commerce and continually embar-
raised resident Americans. How annoying this sys-
TEN has been can be imagined by an application to
our own country. If custom house were located
on the boundary line of every State in the Union,
if duties were exacted for the movement of goods
from one State into another and if merchandise
could be moved only under a system Of official
passes authorizing transportation from one point
through to another without any intervening stops,
then we should be in the position in which the in-
ternal commerce of Mexico is to-day. 1t Is not
likely that complete change will be at once eff
fected But such changes are likely to be made as
will secure much freer movement of internal COM
merce and non-interference with the traffic of the
railways In these changes the exasperating mu-
nicipal duties will be included. According to the
Nericaa FnaRcier an unOppressive system of excise
duties will be recommended" and the recommends
ton of thirty-six leading representatives OF the
various States can hardly fail of adoption.

Last year, the head of the Democratic State
ticket in this State had 1913, 900 plurality; this
wear the head of the Democratic State ticket is
beaten by 10000 Last year, General Butler
was elected by about $4,000 plurality in
Massachusetts,: this year he is beaten
0y about $1,000. Last year the Dem
ocrats elected Il Governor of Pennsylvania
by. 10000 plurality; this year their State
ticket is beaten by over 21,O00. Volumes of
explanation and argument will fail to break
the force of these simple facts. When the Ohio
election had ended in Democratic victory
but by decreased majority, THE TRIBUNE
observed that when the tide had once clearly
turned oven the most ignorant fisherman could
predict with certainty that the reaction would
continue. The Democratic party was at high
tide when it elected Cleveland, Butler and Pat
tison last year. Ohio proved that the waters
had begun to recede The elections of Tuesday
prove that the Democratic party. has not bit
more chance than it had in 1880 of carrying
any Northern State. The tide is going out
rapidly, and those Democrats who have polit-
zeal sense know that it will be lower before it
turns again.
Of course, the election of Secretary Carr can
be attributed to special and temporary influ-

The reelection of Mayor Low is victory of
honest dealing. Pledged to conduct the gov
eminent of Brooklyn on plain, practical, bust
ness principles, he has been as good as his
word. He has given the city two years of clean,
honest and efficient administration. He has
made responsible home rule" something more
than n catch-word. lie has embodied the prin-
clplc in a consistent and useful policy, scparat-
ing municipal business from party politics by
means of non-partisan appointments, and intro
ducing common sense methods of admnistra-
ton. Having governed the city with budgets
representing the two lowest tax-rates known in
twenty years, and having reduced the public
debt to the extent of $l,000,000, he had the
courage and the good sense to raise the tax rate
available for next year, Oh the ground that in
creased expenditures for certain purposes wero
absolutely necessary. There has been no clap
trap In his professions and his practice has
been on a dead level with his principles. Hav-
ing kept faith with the public, he made a
downright manly canvass for reelection. dis

A Western Snowman has succeeded in teaching an
eagle to perform variety OF pleasing tricks. The
accomplished bird can fire pistol, ring a bell, pull
a tiny car up an inclined plano, and climb ladder
round by round. TO the student of applied Orn-
theology this eagle presents interesting study So,
too, does another Eagle whose eyry is in Brooklyn.
This Brooklyn bird has taught itself to carry water
on both its wings, and during the campaign Just
closed it performed the engaging feat TO its own
hearty and ostentatiOus satisfaction. Now and
then it varied the programme by making a frugal
evening meal off mess composed Of its own words
Ii goes without saying that these able efforts to

that such bird should be well informed in regard
to State politics. But when TRIBUNE ALMANAC

The Commissioners of Education Yesterday
wisely decided to have sewing taught to the
girls in some of the primary grades OF the pub
lie schools. This is recognition OF the TACT
that something besides shook learning Is
needed by these children. To teach them 10
sew will do more to fit them to be useful
women than some of the branches they will
study later on. 1t is an important STEP Wihc"
will possibly lead to others in the same dlIec-
ton. The Board decided wisely, Also not TO
increase the salaries of the professors III the
Normal College from $4,000 to $1,000. Ihelr
work Is important and well done; but it Is OF
no more value to the public than that OF many
teachers in our schools who are not called pro-
fessors When all thescafaithful workers get

The da myers from foul gas in coal mines and
from fog at sea seem beyond the power of
science to o overcome. Explosions such as Oc-
CURED yesterday in the Moorfield colliery, in
England, are reported about as regularly and as
often as collisions at sea. The disaster at Moor
field was indeed terrible. One hundred and ten
golfers were in the mine at the time, and most
of them are supposed to be beyond rescue. A
sharp examination of the accident will probably
be made and if it appears that the ventilatinS
apparatus of the mine was defective,
or that any other possible precaution was neg
lected, the owners of the property should
suffer.

1t was hoped that the election of Aldermen by
Assembly districts would give us better
Board than the old scheme of minority repre-
sentation gave us. This is the second year the
new plan has been tried, however, and our last
state Is not any better than our first The
Board of Aldermen for 1884 is divided about
ms il is now. The Republicans have gained one
member, which gives them eight. Tammany
has seven, the County Democracy eight, and
one of the liquor dealers elected calls himself
a Jeffersonian Democrat. This may be an ad-
vantage to himself; but tho city will hardly
gain from it. 1t can be said for the Assembly
district scheme at least that it gave us some OK
cellent nominations for Aldermen, whose cleo
tlon was only prevented by trading between
the managers of the different organizations.
Trading on election day means deals later

1t is evident that one of the important ques-
tons submitted to New-YOrk voters on Tues
day was overlooked by most of them. 1t was
whether or not the State shall make the con-
victs support themselves, or whether the tax
payers must bear the expense of letting them
live in idleness. In this city the vote for
change in the present admirable law was
112,7O6; against it, 1868. Full returns
from the interior will probably reduce this
majority. We do not believe the figures indi-
cate the wishes of the mass of voters in the
State. Many did not Know such vote was to
be taken, and at some of the city polling places
no ballots against the amendment could be
procured. This is a conspicuous illustration
of the majority's being wrong, and the "rem-
nantn right.

Convict Editors.

Charles f. Montgomery, the Red
Bluff editor who is now in Jail awaiting
examination for the murder of Town
send, carries on his editorial labors in
his cell. He cannot go out and "rustle"
for local items, but he is daily supplied
with file of exchanges by the Sheriff,
who, it seems, is his partner in the pub
fishing business and he can clip, paste.

seated in his sanctum. There are some
connected with editing n
paper from the murderers' row in a
county Jail. Bores and duns are KEEP. at
a safe distance, and the most belligerent
subscriber would not think of calling
around to see if the fighting editor is in.
There is discussion of long standing
about the proper employment OF convict
labor, and perhaps it would be a happy
solution of the problem to utilize it in
the editing of newspapers. In these
days the class of men to be found in
State prisons is, intellectually, rather
superior one. Bank Presidents, conf
dental clerks, cashiers, public officials,
ministers of the Gospel, and even law.
yers are to be found in the State Prison,
and some of them could turn their
hands to editing with better results
than to the manufacture of furniture or
jute bagging. We submit the suggestion
to our Democratic contemporary for
what it is worth.

The Island of 1schia.

Ischia, the scene of the late fearful
earthquake, by which over four thou
sand people were called to sudden death,
is q volcanic island at the north entrance
to the Bay of Naples, having super
fetal area Of twenty-six square miles.
1t has one extinct volcano, San Nievis,
which has height of 1900 feet, sur.
rounded by twelve inferior cones. The
last eruption of the mountain was in
1902. The island is noted for the rich
ness of its soil and the mildness OF its
climate. The population of the island is
$4,000. 1t is great resort for health
and pleasure. The bathing season ex.
tends from June to September, but there
are large number of tourists to be
found at Casamicciola, Ischia, Lacco and
other towns throughout the year. The
hot springs are strongly impregnated
with minerals. Casamicciola, where the
greatest destruction was wrought in this
earthquake, is the chief seat of the
water, hot air and sand baths. This has
made it the favorite fashionable resort of
Italy. Invalids also come to it from all
quarters of Europe. 1t supports many
large hotels, theaters, etc,
Earthquakes have always been terror

peculiarly subject to them. The last

badly injured, and 10000 people were
rendered homeless and driven to seek
safety in the surrounding country. The
shock lasted only seven seconds and was
preceded by dull, rumbling noise, and
the mineral springs We're observed to be
in a state of ebulltion.

TINE FATAL SHOTGUN.
What Powder and Quail Shot. Prop
erly Applied. VIII Do.

The determined suicide of W. 7.
Courtney at his residence this morning,
by means Of a shotgun, was the subject
OF paramount interest to-day. II Is
only one more murder chargeable to
rum. The deceased was native Of
Arkansas, aged 80 years. He leaves
wife aud three or four children, the
eldest boy being about 10 years of age.
The family resided about two miles west
of town. The particulars are so well
given by Mrs. Courtney and her son
that their evidence is sufficient:
Miranda Courtney was sworn and
testifed My husband came home from
town last night, intoxicated. He was
not sensible Of anything until midnight.
1t was about dark when he came home.
He got up about midnight and came and
talked to me; talked to me off and on
all the rest Of the night. He was sitting
on the bed by me when | told him to
hush talking-that l wished to go to
sleep, as 1 had to go to work to-day.
He asked me II | was going up to Devil
Canon without him. / told him, of
course not. ! told him again to hush
talking. Ho said II l wouldn't talk to
him he wouldn't talk to anybody. lie
came out doors and in about minute
heard the shot Of the gun. | came out
right away and he was dead, lying on
the ground back Of the house. He has
threatened to kill himself several times
during the past year, after he had been
drinking. Last night he asked me to
kill him, and / asked him II / had not
been dutiful wife to him and he said
/ had.
Reuben Courtney testified: was out
hunting yesterday; had the gun lying
down by my father now; was hunting
for rabbits and quail. loaded the gun
