stone to preferment in national political circles.
If Bob wins as the present situation indicates.
he will be overwhelmingly elected to succeed
Whtthorne as United States Senator by the next
Legislature, the latter having accepted nomi-
nation for the lower branch of Congress. Bob
pretends not to know this, but he does know it,
and his friends know it and are doing their level
best to compass his success because they know
it. A dozen or more old politicians who are not
Bob's most earnest friends, are working with
might and main to accomplish this result, as
each one of the dozen hopes to be Speaker or
the State Senate and step into Bob's guberna-
toria shoes when he is elected to the Senate.
ALT expects his campaign, whether successful or
not, to make him irresistible in the First con-

very worst class of spois politicians and all that

of Alf Taylor, after the present novel contest Is
over, and Butler and his colleague in boss poll

Failure of the Third Party.

New York Independent.
The election in Maine settles the future of the
third party. 1t is not to be serious factor in
American politics. 1t has no future before it,
Prohibition has great future, thank God! but
not the Prohibition party. The prohi-
bitonsts are never weary of comparing their
party Of moral IDEAS with the early anti
slavery party, under it's name of the Liberty par
ty and the Free-soil party which we're the ances-
tors of the Republican party. But the anti
slavery party showed very different growth
from this Prohibition party. In Maine the anti
slavery third PARTY had 194 votes in 1640 4,S36
in 1874 and IL, 096 in lS48, and 81, 1873 in 1850.
being majority of about ZOO. The
Prohibition party nowhere shows any evidence
of taking hold as did the earlier third party, of
the conscience of the people.
If we may then say that the Prohibition party
is substantial failure, the question must next
be answered Why is this 500 Will not the peo-
pie respond to an appeal for prohibition Ger
tainly they will and IL is chiefly because they
wish to fight the saloon by prohibition and IN
every other way that they refuse to accept the

veyed to the adjoining buildings, which were
frame structures. The wind was blowing per
feet gale from the north, and portions of burning
shingles were carried several blocks away. The

WHO WON THE FIGHT

Trains Moving on the Lake Shore, but
Outsiders Are in the Dark.
CHICAGO, April 26-The strike of the
Lake Shore switchmen has come to an end,
but who the victors are it is hard to tell
General Superintendent Wright said Satur-
day morning: THE facts of the case are
simply these: The strikers have gone
back to work Internationally. The
railroad company has given no
guaranty whatever, made no compro-
mise, and entered into no terms of any kind
with them We have have stood by the
"scabs," as they are called, all through,
and were determined to continne to stand by
them They have gone to work for the
company, at the same work in which they
had hitherto been employed, and will be
kept at that work by the company as long
as they are pleased to continue at it-always
provided they render as faithful and efficient
services IS they have up to this time"
Then the company, and not the strikers,
has gained the vistory"
We'll, to that will say that the strikers,
when they came back, went to work along
side these eight men. This state of affairs,
repeat, will continue as long as the men
are wiiiiag to work for u.s. We have
stuck to our point all through, namely,
that the company will not be coerced into
disemploying any of their employees
merely because other employees wish
it. That point we have gained {"
On'the other hand, Chairman Stahl Of the
switchmens committee exhibits document
purporting to be an agreement signed by
some of the officials Of the road, wherein it
is agreed that the "scabs" shall be dis
charged or removed within sixty days. He,
however, refuses to disclose or exhibit the
signature or signatures to the statement
The five strikers who were arrested and
held in 81 200 bonds each, on three charges,
were dismissed Saturday morning, Mr.
Trude, the attorney for the railroad COM
pany, saying that they had no evidence
against them that they cared to introduce
