State Elections.

The General Result.

The latest returns from Ohio, New
York, Massachusetts, Iowa and other
states where elections were held Tues
day indicate the following results:
In Ohio McKiniey's plurality is be-
tween i, 1000 and 81, 900, and the legis-
lature is republican, insuring the cleo
ton of a republican to the United
States senate. A feature of the Ohio
election is the small vote of the peo-
pies party, which will not reach IL, 600.
In New York Flower, democratic
candidate for governor, has a plurality
of about 40, 600. The legislature is prob
ably democratic in both branches
Sheehan, democratic candidate for
Acknowledgements, has a plurality of
90, 900.
Iowa re-clects Boies, the democratic
candidate for governor, over Wheeler,
republican. by an estimated plurality
of 5000. The democratic state ticket
is probably elected, but the Legislature
is republican in both branches.
In Massachusetts Russell, democratic
candidate for governor, is elected by a
plurality of about 5000. The remain
der of the state ticket is republican, as
is also the legislature.
In six congressional districts, to fill
vacancies, the honors were evenly di-
vlded, republicans and democrats each
electing three representatives.
In Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey
and Virginia the elections were won by
the democrats.
Returns so far do not clearly indicate
the strength of the peoples party in the
Kansas county elections.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 4-The Commercial
Gazette says editorially: Returns on
the legislature show thst it is reliably
republican, and that a careful canvass
of the senatorial preferences of the
members elected indicates that if Gov.
Foraker really has senatorial aspira-
tons his election is assured beyond the
shadow of a shade of a doubt. A num-
Der of the Legislators are already out
spoken in their choice, notably the three
representatives from Lucas county,
who state positively tlat they are for
Foraker first, last and all the time 1t
goes without the saying that the Ham
ilton county delegation would be for
the governor from motives OF local
pride, to say nothing of individual
preferences. 1t is said the members OF
this Hamilton county delegation will in
no wise disparage the distinguished
services of Senator Sherman, but will
simply express the almost unanimous
choice of the Hamilton county Eepub-
licans."

FORGERIES.

Never was there a time when there
were so many ~defalcations, breaches
of trust and forgeries as are being re-
vealed every dav. One may well
stop and ask whether there are now
any honest men. The fast pace that
this American life leads us, the rush
and strain for wealth, the lowering of
the public tone and the recognition
that mere money wins, all of these
things have conspired TO make men
reckless and to lead them to adopt the
maxim: ANY thing for success" 1t
is not worth striving for when one has
to pay such a price for it. Better by
far preserve ones health that is almost
certain to be lost in such an unequal
contest. When you feel blue and
weary Of the world take a dose of
REDS GERMAN COUGH AND

The Advance of Years.

Victor Hugo once confessed to close
friend that the most disagreeable adj
vance in age to him had been that from
80 to 40. But" commented his COM
panion, II should think it a great deal
better to be 40 than to be So" To
which the great Frenchman gayly re-
piled: Not at all; 40 is the old age Of
youth, while so is the youth of old
age."
This anecdote reminds us of the mot
of Oliver Wendell Holiness: 81 had rath-
er be 20 years young than to be 40 years
old"
Well, time doesn't ask our leave, nor
consult us on these points, nor give us
much choice, but hurries us on-all the
faster as we grow older.

| Canon of Westminster Fined for
D~runkenDess

LONDON, Nov. On Tuesday even
ing Rev. Frederick Hartford. said to he
a minor canon of Westminster, saw the
police helping a hysterical woman into
a cab in front of a saloon. Hartford.
who appeared to he in n somewhat in
ebriated condition. protested against
the ~leniency of the police in not arrest
ing the woman and said that she was
drunk, and ought to be in custody.
The police paid no attention to the
canon at first, only telling him to 20
| off and mind his own business. This
made the reverend gentleman more
effusive, and the police were at last OBJ
| liged I o arrest him They entered the
charge of drunkenness against him.
The appearance of a canon of Vest
minister in the police court. even though
but a minor canon. created a great SEN
sation. Hartford was dressed in the
most correct garb, and was rather
swell in appearance for a clergyman 80
years of age. He denied that he was
drunk, but admitted that he had been
dining. The evidence of his disorderiy
conduct was overwhelming. and the
magistrate. after severely c%ensuring
him. imposed a fine of two pounds,
which the canon at once produced.
