MKINLEYS DEFEAT.

PHILADELPHIA North american (Rep \:
The defeat of Major Mckinley is enough to
inspire wish that here as in France 1t were
the practice to nominate representative men of
Major McKinley's standing for election from
more than one district
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer (Rep.): Major
Mckinley made splendid battle, but the odds
we're greatly against him, and the revised re-
turns indicate his defeat by small majority.
The Democrats of Ohio have nothing to be
proud of in this victory.
PHILADELPHIA Record (Rep): The Amer
lean people. who never fail to recognize the
qualities of endurance, patience courage and
determination, will not withhold their need of
admiration from a man in whom are combined
the elements OF the truest and the highest
heroism.
PHILADELPHIA Call (Rep.): The result in
Major McKnley's district must be regarded as
a yindcation of his course in Congress and an
Endorsement of him as an individual, even
though he has been defeated. The go adverse
majority in a district naturally Democratic by
nearly 1000 cannot be regarded in any other
light.
NEW YORK Tribune (Rep.): Major McKin-
ley's election in the district made up with the
sole and specific purpose of defeating him
would have been phenomenal even in a year
when the Republicans had made clean sweep
throughout the country. He made
magnificent fight, and deserved to win. We
congratulate Major Mckinley upon his able
and brilliant canvass, and predict that Ohio
will not long leave him to the enjoyment Of
private life

AGITATE FOR BETTER ROADS.

1t is good sign that as soon as the politi-
cal storm has passed over the agitation for
improved roads in the country, and better
streets in the city, is renewed with vigor.
There is nothing like pounding away in a
case like this, and between now and the
assembling of the State Legislature public
opinion upon the road question ought to take
on a very positive and aggressive form. The
recent convulsions in grander politics
will have the effect of making legislators
more than usually attentive TO the voice OF
the people, and the prospects of sensible
and prompt legislation in the way of road
making reforms are unusually good. But
the people will lose nothing by keeping the
road topic uppermost from now on. 1t is
the most practicable as we'll as one of the
most necessary of the reforms now upon the
slate,

GLANCE OF BILLS.

The post-mortem into the causes of what
happened Tuesday is beginning to grow
wearisome in the extreme length and variety
Of press opinions. Having tolerably we'll
defined notions of its own, the public mind
is now turning with curious speculation to
the probable use the Democrats will make
OF their big Congressional victory. 1t is
uot too cheering for the party that Roger @.
Mills already shows up to the front, booted
aud spurred, as a leading entry for the
Speakership race. The last experience of
the Democrats with Mr.. Mills in the saddle
Was not fortunate. His plan OF battle on
auti-pyotection platform was signal fail
ure.
Those who think the free-traders and the
auti-protection people are going to have
everything their owD way in Congress and
in the Democratic party are likely mistaken.
There are some Democratic authorities
which will probably stand up for the pro-
tcc.ion policy, among them the New York
sun and portion of the press of the South,
where local industries are thriving. What
length these organs of the party will go in
favor Of protection may not be determined
just yet-but they have already repudiated
the advanced anti-tariff school of ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, Mills and Carlisle as most
dangerous to Democratic success.
The fun at the Republican expense will
soon give place to a vociferous and halcyon
IUue in getting that big Congressional ma
i7rity into working shape upon lines that
viii not threaten a repetition of the mistake
OF the Democratic leaders in 'SS.

TOO TENDER FEELINGS.

Some discreet and cool-headed friends of
Senator Quay and Postmaster General
Wanamaker should suggest to them that the
best way TO restore political harmony, to
convince the public Of the disinterestedness
o their leadership. and to turn the North
west Of its antl-tariff hereses, is not in the
direction of visiting the weight OF their
wrath upon female employe of the Wash
iu--on iinstcfiicc who was so indiscreet as to
repeat Jhoughtless Jest on the Senator S
recent defeat within the hearing of his son.
Tne friends of both might well urge upon
then that il is lot particularly wise to re-
vc9gc wounded feelings upon such slight
jsovocation as in this instance. The remark

SOCIAL ADJUSTMENTS,

Interesting Meeting of the Academy of
Science and Art-Two Well-Attended
Concerts Given by the Strauss Orchestra
"A Charming Card Party.
A very interesting meeting of the Academy
of Science and Art was held last evening at
the Academy House on Fifth street. The
feature of the evening was the paper reao by
Prof Gustave Gutenberg, of the Pittsburg
High School, on 'Some Thoughts Suggested
by the Allegheny Conservatory" Preceding
the paper the constitution was discussed, and
the committee authorized to make some unim-
portant changes.
In the preparation of his paper Prof. Gutten-
Aquarium Department of the conservatory
dwelling especially upon food plants and those
affording material for the manufacturing of
useful fabrics and articles. The date palm, CO.
coanut and banana tree each received share
of attention, and their characteristics apparent
to the country In which they grow were made
subject of discussion also. Prof. Gutenberg
referred during his remarks, to the fact
the torrid regions were much more highly civ
llized, intellectual and energetic than at pres
ent, but advanced no theory for the degenera-
ton. The earliest period in the worlds his
tory at which people could live from food
afforded by plants was traced back by Prof.
Gutenberg. and proved very interesting.
Stereoptician views were pleasing accom-
the speaker, and some very beautiful pictures
were shown, illustrative OF the various plants
that formed the subject matter OF the dis
course.

OFT is popularly supposed" said a theatrical
manager yesterday, that the unique and
the daring effects of realism on the stage have
been retty well exhausted, but there are some
startling novelties in this line yet to come.
The realistic race scene. with the horses run
ming neck and neck in the County Fair will
be discounted next season by the exact repre-
sentation of the ring and the performers, human
and equine. in The Country Circus which
Charles B. Jefferson and Charles Bernard, the
author of The County Fair are writing for
next season. The bottom of tho sea and the
top thereof have been exhibited here this week
at your principal theaters. but more surpris-
ing marine spectacle will be incidental to the
new farcical opera, Ship Ahoy,' by Donnelly
and Miller. In this new piece which, by the
way, is the first departure of Mr.. Donnelly in
opera libretto. the public will be introduced to
the three latest additions the steel cruisers, to
Uncle Sans Navy.
"A melodrama which understand is to be
put on the road next season will contain an
exact representation Of execution by electricity
as carried out upon Kenmler, and a farce
comedy is being built about the last session of
Congress, in which all the fearful scenes be-
tween Speaker Reed and the Democrats will be
reproduced SO far as it is possible without over
stepping the bounds of decency. In fact,
realism on the stage has only just begun"

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

NEW YORK Sun (Dem.): Give us back the
old system OF voting-with improvements. If
you please-but the old system.
NEW YORK Herald Qnd.): The new ballot
system is success, except in certain minor
details, which can be easily remedied.
NEW YORK Evening Post (Mugwump):
After yesterdays trials there is likely to be
little further opposition to ballot reform in any
part of the country.
SYRACUSE Herald (Rep.): 1t is the general
agreement that the new ballot in this State
worked even better than its friends had antic-
ipated on its first trial.
DETROIT Neros (Rep.): With some slight
amendments, which should give the voter
still further protection, the law will prove
much better than anyone hoped.
BALTIMORE Sun (Dem.): The advantages of
the Australian ballot system were amply dem
onstrated by the test of Tuesdays elections in
this city and in the IA counties of the State In
which it was in operation.
INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel (Dem.): The friends
OF the law anticipated that on actual trial de-
feots would be developed which would be
quired to be remedied. We shared this expec-
tation, but we must say that it was not realized.
NEW YORK Commercial Advertiser Qnd.) }:
A remarkable degree of success attended the
first trial of the new ballot law in this city. In
almost every district there was smoothness
in the workings of the law that surprised even
its best friends.
BOSTON Herald (Dem.): The new ballot law
appears to have worked well IN New York.
The only people who are reported to have
failed to prepare their ballots in strictly legal
form, and who had to be sent back to the vot-
ing booths to rearrange their tickets, were ex-
Mayor Hewitt, Chauncey NJ. Depew, Colonel
Elliott F. Shepard and Frederick X. Coudert.
The hard-handed laboring men, on the other
hand, took to the new way of voting like duck
to water.
BALTIMORE Herald (Rep.): Tuesdays elec-
tions seem to have settled several things effect
ually, but nothing more so than the utility of
the Australian ballot. This system of voting
was used in 10 different States, and in six of
them for the hrst time in general election. 1t
was put to the test under a variety of FORMS
but the essential features of an official ballot
given to the voter in the polling room and Sc
crecy in casting it being maintained. the new
departure in elections met with great sat1sfac-
tion everywhere.

VICTORY WITHOUT CREDIT.

in summing up the names of tine Repub-
lican Congressional leaders who went down in
tie storm OF Tuesday, the name of William
cIehinley naturally appears first, as Chair
,aau OF the Committee of Ways and Means
I;ut this prominence of his name in the cat
@ ory OF the missing calls attention to the
ct that his defeat is the one that confers
10 credit on the Democratic party Beyond
tha. is the TACT that the means which the
Democrats took to secure 1T robbed it of
any of the significance which attaches to the
other changes.
IF the district which had elected Major
Mckinley before had defeated him this time.
or even reduced his majority, the Democrats
would have been fairly entitled to claim
that it increased the number of those
changes which at present indicate verdict
against the class of tariff legislation of
which he is the exponent. But the Demo-
Gratis coCid not trust to any such test in that
case. TIE spirit Of partisanship was so Bit
ter against one who mas really been the fair
est among the Republican leaders that thev
were resolved to beat him anyhow, and so the
Democratic Legislature adopted the simple
method TO secure that result of taking him
out ola Republican district and putting MIN
into i Democratic one. Leaving out OF the
question the general matter OF gerryman-
ders. In which the Democrats are only
a l:ttle worse than the Republicans, it
IS q matter for public recognition
tina: Mckinley was beaten only be-
cause a Democratic Legislature chose to
ensct that ne must confront a Democratic
naiority in hig district, instead Of Repub-
llcsa majority as in the last apportionment,
or a very doubtful vote, as in the apportion-
Irent before that. And the fact that Nc
Kinlcy actually reduced the majority

Tobies as Measures.

in lieu of foot rule, most OF the time. Take

The accuracy of this statement was disputed,
and to settle the question, when they left the
car they went to cigar-store and called for
wheeling tobies. Selecting handful, score
were measured and only two deviated from the
six-inch standard and the two exceptions
lacked less than sixteenth of an inch of half
a foot.
