THE ELECTIONS.

The returns are too incomplete yet to dis
close the exact results of Tuesdays cleo
tions, but enough is known to show that
there has been nothing like tidal wave.
There are consultations and disappointments
in them for both parties, but as far as net re-
suits are concerned the Republicans have
scored a victory The Republicans seem
to have met their only reverses in New
England. In the West they have made
some very substantial gains. The reverses
in New England are due to several causes
In New Hampshire the Knights of Labor
were cajoled into supporting the Democrats,
and though their strength was not large it
was sufficient with the help furnished by the
Portsmouth navy yard to prevent an election
OF Governor and defeat a Republican candi-
date for Congress in State naturally close.
In Massachusetts the Mugwumps infused
an unwonted amount of vigor, and Doodle
as well, into the Democratic campaign, and
the Republicans were caught mapping. Up
to within few days of election they felt so
confident of their usual victory that they
put out very little effort and when they
realized their danger it was too late to
entirely avert it. Then in the Congressional
districts there were some unfortunate quar-
rels, which undoubtedly contributed to
Democratic success. In Connecticut the
Republicans lose Congressman by reason
of the Third Party Prohibition vote. Demo-
cratic success is confined chiefly to these
three States. In the Middle and Western
States the advantage has clearly been with
the Republicans. and in Virginia it looks as

welt, as the managers of his canvass have all
along commended. The average Republican
vote in New York city is $4,000. Had he re-
ceived that he would undoubtedly have come
in ahead for that added to Georges vote
would have made $4,000, leaving only Co.
600 for Hewitt. Indeed he could have run
10000 below the Republican average and
still have been elected. $4,000 votes would
have elected him. His defeat is due to the
fact that good many Republicans were so
fearful Of the triumph of George that they
voted for Hewitt, thinking no doubt
that that was the surest method of
defeating candidate whose views on
many points were radically opposed to
the present social system, and some
OF whose speeches looked like cater
ing to the lawless and shftless classes
OF society. 1t is now probably apparent to
them that they could have accomplished that
object just as etfectually by sticking to their
candidate, and at the same time could have
elected man whose record shows that he
could have been depended upon to introduce
mary needed reforms into the administers
tion of municipal affairs. Hewitt is no doubt,
personally honest, but he is certain to be sur
rounded by an atmosphere not conducive to
reform. If he succeeds in keeping at bay
the hungry crowd Of politicians who nomi-
mated him he will accomplish all that can
fairly be expected Of him. He is an in
tense partisan, and will probably work
the municipal administration for about all
| that it is worth for the Democracy. I'm
doubtedly the interests of the city are safer
| in his hands than they would have been in
Mr.. Georges, but they would have been SAT-
er still in Mr. Roosevclt's.

There is some doubt in Michigan as to the
wisdom OF the aggressive immigration poll
cy pursued by that State during recent years.
While the benefits which have accrued to
the industrial interests Of the State may
have been very great. some statistics of the
last State census, taken in 1884 show that the
foreign element which has come into Michi-
gan is not in all respects what it should be
to produce useful citizens. In 1884 there
were in the State S0,131 persons, ten years
old or over, returned as unable to read or
write. OF this number 225 were of unknown
nativity; 1913 were born of native parents !;
6,35s had foreign born parents; 2,459 had one
parent foreign born; and the remaining 3d.
o53 were themselves foreign born. The total
population of the State was 1853, 65S, and the
Total OF inhabitants whose parents were one
OF Doth foreign born was 975,144. In other
words, "a per cent. of the population in 1884
had foreign blood and that "a per cent. furn-
ished SOper cent. Of the illiteracy of the
state. In another respect the foreign ele-
menu is placed in an unenviable light. The
number of saloon-keepers and bar-tenders
was returned at 1894, and the number of
brewers and masters at 557. Of these 81
per cent. OF the saloon-keepers and bar-ten-
ders, and rs per cent. Of the brewers and
masters are foreign born, i. e., actually born
ABROAD. Nevertheless, the men born abroad
who furnish this large proportion OF the liz
VI uealers, form but 26per cent. of the popu-
lation OF michigan. Undoubtedly these for
eigners have in them many of the qualities of
good citizens. The development of those
quahtles In the generations to come will fall
upon the institutions Of Michigan.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
hastened the breaking up of the constitution than
Catarrh. The sense of SMELL of TASTE of sight, of
hearing, the human voice, the mind lone or more
and sometimes all, yield to its destructive infu
ence. The poison it distributes throughout the
system attacks every vital force, and breaks up
the most robust of constitutions. Ignored, be-
cause but little understood, by most physicians,
impotently assailed by quacks and charlatans,
those suffering from it have little hope to be re-
eved OF 1t tins side of the grave. 1t time then
that the popular treatment of this terrible disease
by remedies within the reach of all passed into
hands at once competent and trustworthy The

Congressman Haynes Of New Hampshire
owes his defeat partly to the packing of the
Portsmouth navy yard by the reform admin

countenance to the Greenback theories of
the knights of Labor in his district. His
defeat is to be regretted, but it is much more
creditable to him and to his party than vic
tory would have been, secured by an aban-
donment of principle. Parson McKenney,

For year or more diphtheria has been
prevailing to some extent in the Casco street
school district. OF course the school build
ing was suspected, and request made for its
examination. Yesterday it was examined,
and found in very good condition both as to
ventilation and drainage. Nothing was dis
covered to justify the suspicion that the
disease had its origin in anything in or about
that building. To make assurance doubly
sure, however, it was decided to put new
yentilating pipe into the sewer, close to the
wall OF the building Our school houses can
not be made any too good, and all the APP
proved contriyances for ventilation and
drainage ought to be put into them. But it
won't do to rely entirely on improved yenti-
lators and traps in our school buildings to
prevent diphtheria. Sewer gas in a dwell
ing is quite as deadly as sewer gas in a school
house, and, we suspect, good deal oftener
present there. Besides, there is no doubt
that large per cent of the cases of diphthe-
ria in this city have been the result of conta-
gion, spread by public funerals and the free
association Of inmates of houses where the
disease prevails with other people. A venti-
lator in school house won't diminish the
danger from this source to any appreciable
extent

trade example of England, this Chamber
