The astonishing changes that small
proportions of foreign matter will produce
in metals are not necessarily of small
practical Importance. as very slight i'm.
purities in metals for certain purposes
might lead to serious consequences. Rob

tions of this possibility A small fraction
of bismuth in copper will reduce the cleo

The National Victory

The cheering news of Republican VIC

IL fully confirmed by the latests advices,
and we have nothing 10 change Of our
editorial reflections already given as to It's
significance. All the circum stances con-
sidered, it has been one Of the most re-
markable campaigns the country ever
passed through, and in some important
respects it has never been equalled- With
the svlid South tightly in Democratic
hands by terrorism and organized fraud.

holders at their command, whose salaries
were assessed In astounding proportions,
with the enormous financial resources Of
the whiskey ring, the brewers and the
saloons at their disposition, the Bourbon
leaders we're In coalition TO organic,
and push the Democratic forces with tre-
mendou- power. But they have
been met by the organized enthus-
iasm AMI the thorough union Of the Re
publican masses fully impr' ssed with the
gravity Of the political situation and the
imperative necessity Of rescuing the Ma
tional Government from the control Of
Grover Cleveland and hla gang. The
mighty North and West has been aroused
and has met the solid South as 10 1860,
1864 and 1868, and opening assures have
made their appearance Ia the South itself.
In essential and important respects there
are striking parallels between the present
campaign and Republican victory aud the
great uprising against the Free Trade and
Bourbon democracy In 1910. The great
issue Of Protection was upperno-t In pop

The victory just won would have been as
general and overwhelming now a. then,

now dominate large sections of the South
In 1910 the majority of the ablest public
men of the South stood with Clay, Webster
and the Wings Of the North In favor Of Pro

publican victory. and all true friends of
the country cannot fail to realize that the
election of Benjamin Harrison Is an
achievement in National progress, as was
that of Abraham Lincoln in 1850.
