A special to the Star Qnd.). from Topeka
says: Democrats and Republicans alike
profess to believe the peoples party out of
power to stay out, and the fight next year
will be on the old lines"
As there weIe no State officers voted tor,
and on account OF the fusion of Republicans
and Democrats. or Democrats aud the Peo-
pies party in many counties, it is impossi-
bic to make any satisfactory comparison
with the vote Of last year.

Views Of the Leading London journals
on tho Late Elections.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-Commenting on the
elections in the United States, the Daily
News says: 1t is not easy to draw moral
where the most important contests yield
dramatically opposite results. McKinley's
victory is the most striking event for
Europe, but may easily be exaggerated or
misunderstood. he was probably elected
not as a protectionist but as a moderate op-
ponent of free silver.
The Chronicle says: The election of
Flower cannot be considered counterplast It
to the result in Ohio because ii was secured
by as corrupt means as ever American poll
desirOus of decent government, wanted the
election of Fassett, but Iammany Hall was
! too much for the reformers. 1t is now prob
able that we shall hear of Mckinley as a
Presidential candidate. 1t is certain that
Republicans will stand on a high tariff plat
| form. Me Kinley's election Indicates the
overwhelming power OF money monopoly
aud vested interests in American politics.
The Standard says: The result will cause
| waiting policy on the side Of the Republi-
cans, who may hope in November next to
take advantage OF some Democratic mis-
| take. or some sudden accession of popu-
| larity on the part of the Government to re-
| verse the decision now recorded.
The Times thinks it is possible that a
| Democratic victory in Ohio would not have
| pleased all sections of the party because it
! would have foTeShadowed a schism at next
| years convention. 1t is doubtful whether
Mckinley's achievement is striking enough
| to yindicats his policy, or to advance his
claims to a Presidential nomination. 1t
may be taken for granted that the result
| will thrust into the back ground the United
States Governments policy of bullying

views on the present controversy are re-
garded as mildly conservative. The friends
of DR.. Briggs believed that they would have
no reason to fear that DIR. Bliss would be
swayed by his opinions when the case came
to trial. DR.. John Hall had been suggested
MS compromise candidate; upon his
declnation DR.. Bliss was accepted by both
parties.
Next in order was the opposing counsel
On the part Of the prosecution the case was
presented by the committee which formu-
lated the charges against DR.. Briggs. By
the rule Of the church the committee mast
continue 10 act in every stage of the pro-
ceedugs, though when the case goes on ap-
peal before the synod and later before the
General Assembly, the prosecutors may re-
quest and receive the assistance of any
member of the higher body This committee
is made up as follows: The Rev. DR.. George
W. +. Birch. the Rev. DR.. joseph J. Laupe,
the Rev. Dr. Robert +. Sample, Professor
John j. Stevenson. Colonel John j. McCook.
The last named is an elder in Dr. HalP 8
church, and he is also lawyer OF notable
ability and attainments. That his advice
was Of the utmost importance TO the prose-
cutiOn goes without saying. His expert
ence in debate and in the presentation of
facts to the minds of a jury made him dam
gerous adversary.
THE PRESBYTERY.
So much for the judge, the accused and
the counsel. Now as to the jury. This is,
Of course. the presbytery. There are fifty
five churches, and each may be represented
by its pastor and an elder Then there are
over 100 clergymen who are not in charge of
churches, but are members of the New
York Presbytery. The total number is
about go; but of these, some are in distant
lands, some were otherwise unav0idably
absent About $50 in all attended the trial,
which was regarded as a very large number.
The Book of Discipline provides that no
member not present during the whole trial
can vote The roll must be called after each
recess and adjournment, and the names of
absentees must be noted. By unanimous
consent this rule may be suspended in case
of any member, but its operation will
naturally limit the number OF those who are
recorded in the final ballot.
Thus is the tribunal constituted. The
public was the audience, but only on suffer
aDce Of the presbytery. for 1t Is provided
that at any stage of the case judlcat6ry may
by two-thirds vote decide to sit with
closed doors.

according to this assertion, to pay all the
debt, the Secretary permitted all bond
holders who wished'2 per cent interest to
continue, with the consequence that the
Treasury is to'keep on payingS $500, 900 per
year of unnecessary interest for an in
definite period.
Of course, itrprobablyis MOTT the case that
the Secretary has committed the breach of
public duty involved in letting bonds run
that could have been paid off without
trouble. 1t is more likely that by contin-
uing the s25,OOO,OOO of bonds in round
numbers, the Secretary has avoided re-
ducing the,available cash in the Treasury
to an uncomfortably low total. But the
Secretary and his organs, in such asser-
tions as that quoted, aver he took the in
defensible method of extending the debt
which might have been cancelled. They
should have discretion enough to avoid
assertions which have the effect of prov
ing altogether too much.

THE sPORTsMAN's MONTH.

Forest and Stream.1
The sweltering days are oyer. Cool nights
have come. Now, if you are the true, keen
field sportsman. whose slumbers of late
have been broken by grouse's whirring
wings or the sound of the shrill whistle of
the woodcock, you know your time has
come. You take from the closet the breech-
loader and look 1t over, throw it to your
shoulder and glance along its barrels. The
feeling is growing on you. How your heart
thrills as you think of the bags last season
and anticipate the present seasons sport!
And fortunate you are if you happen to have
been country born or to have a friend or
relative at an old country place where you
are welcome in the autumn time. You know
where to go for Bob White along the hedges
by the old buckwheat field and down toward
the hazel thicket, and for woodcock down
along the spring-holes in the alders, and for
the lordly grouse beyond the berry patch
and bordering the sugar bush on the hillside
facing the warm sun. The same old sugar

boyhood for squirrels, gray and black, and
the little Saucy red chickadee.
You step forth into the crisp morning air
and feel the pure ozone as it fills your lungs
What breath you draw in! How your eye
The grasses are dead and dry at the tops,
the soft maple leaves are turning to crimson
and gold, and perhaps you may perceive a
slight tinge of frost on that upper rail as YOU

what frantic rushes he bounds here and
there, away from you and back again, but
watching your every motion. Let him go;
he will be all right after you have crossed
field or two. Let him run and roll over and
give tongue in the mad excitement of the
first outing of the season,
The thrills at your heart are increasing,
and will increase and keep on in volumes
and intensity until-Dut we will not antici-
pate. You cross the pasture down to that

PROVING TOO MUCH.

In an article extolling the Treasury ad-
miniStratiOn since Secretary Foster took
charge the New York Tribune refers to
the assertions that the Treasury was un-
able to pay the maturing AVS, and says
that the Secretary declared that the Treas
ury would be able to pay all the maturing
bonds if all should be presented without
any embarrassment. But he also proposed
the extension of bonds for such holders
as desired to avail themselves of the priv
ilege and more than half of them have
now been extended at per cent interest
at the request of the owners"
This statement of the case shows re-
markable inability on the part of the
Tribune TO recognize the inconsistency of
which it convicts the Secretary. If the
Treasury was able to pay all bonds at ma
turity without any embarrassment it was
its duty to dc so without giving bond
holders any option of continuance. That
course would have stopped interest pay
ments, disposed of just so much debt be-
yond further question and put so much
more funds in circulation; but being able,

THE WEST As 1T HS.

The DISPATCH prints this morning the
first Of a series Of letters which will prove
highly interesting to all who are observant
OF the aTaZing growth Of this country in
the period in which we live. Chicago,
which our graphic correspondent, Mr..
Breeu, describes as it is now, was but a
mere frontier post 30 years ago. To-day
it presents perhaps the most extraordi-
nary spectacle Of the possibilities of human
energy that any age has witnessed. Its
buildings remind the beholder of the am
bitions Of Babel; and in reaching out for
corporate area II already exceeds even in
satiabla London. One hardly knows
whether TO be the more astonished at the
record or at the prospectus of Chicago-at
its magic growth in the past or at the
astounding faith of its people as to its still
greater expansion and celebrity in the
future.
Nr Breen's letters showing what is GO
ing on in the West promise to be at once
entertaining and instructive He does not
propose a map, directory and census re-
turn all combined, but will give rather his
impressions with salient facts to support
them

uses which other cities have made of their
opportunities, Pittsburgers may be stirred
