NOTHING IN IT.

The queer idea is advanced that the
greater success of the Republicans in
the legislatures of New York, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio ana Iowa than in the
vote for state candidates is due to the
more special connection of general
party policies with the legislatures than
with state candidates. This is a pain
fully ardUOuS effort to extract cheer and
hope for the future from the election
figures. The fact is, the Republicans
made the legislative appointments in
each of those states, and they are de-
signed to be Republican without much
regard to the vote OF the state.
The Democrats have well toward
$4,000 majority for governor in
New York, and yet they lost the
state senate and barely carried the other
house. 1t takes about a third more
voters for Democratic than a Repub-
lican district, and the Republicans re-
fuse to comply with the law for new
apportionment Under fair districting.
the Democrats would have both the
New York senators about three-fourths
of the time. In Ohio a Republican
board has districted the state since the
last election. The legislature is de-
signed to be largely Republican. Iowa
was OF course diStricted by the Repub-
licanS, but the disadvantage of the
Democrats is that their maJorities are
not scattered over the state sufficiently.
Massachusetts has a good deal of the
old township representation system left,
and the small towns are largely Repub-
lican. The Democrats in the cities do
not have equal show, as in Connecticut
also. There is nothing in the claim
that the legislatures are the better in
dicators of the political sentiment of
any of these states.

THE CORK ELECTION.

A portion of Ireland'S rival factions
held an exciting election at Cork yester-
day, and, although the counting of the
vote will not terminate until to-day, it
is believed that the anti-P have
carried the day by small mliOrities.
Throughout the polling feeling ran
high, and the presence of troops and
police alone prevented serious, if not
fatal. disturbances. Both factions were
last night claiming the victory. The
supporters Of MARTIN FLAvIN estimate
his majority at about 1,2)J. Friends OF
JOHN REDMOND, the Parnellite can

TWO BOYCOTTS.

Reforms are quite in the habit OF COM
ing from obscure or unexpected quar-
tiers. Australia has given its name to
some improvements in ballot and legal
methods. The unpretentious town of
Stuttgart, Ark. little known to fame, is
likely to establish a precedent or lay
down rule defining the financial rela-
lions of the physician and his patient.
The latter is alleged to have fallen into
tue not altogether novel habit of forget
ting the claims of his indicators when
the SurgeS of health enliven tile system.
This gave an unwhOlesOme flaccidity to
the medical eXchequeis, and they
combined and resolved to boycott all
the deadbeats. Those classed on their
books as being delinqnents were to have
no professional Yisitations when sick.
The publication of this action touched
the popular sensibilities. The whole
county was aroused. A mass meeting
was held and a counter boycott de-
clared. Any physician who did not
abandon the Odious organization in ten
days was to have no patients. Death
was to DE met rather than submit to the
ing words portrayed the inhumanity of
leaving the victims of physical misery
with no alternating agencies until
the sOrdid nature had promise OF
being appeased. The high ground
was taken that the physicians had no
right to put their calling on the low
grade of ordinary business considera-
tons. Calls upon the sick must be met
regardless of reQuitll. This was the
status of the opposing elements at the
last reports. The Southern blood is up
Oh both sides and no retreat is looked
for The two bOycOttS are expected 10
stand stubbOrnly before each other.
Consequently there is present doubt as
to the shape of the reformatOry prece
dent. But the locality and the obServ-
ing world will have practical infOrma-
ton as to the value of the medical pro-
fesSion TO life insurance companies or
the undertakerS If the statistics are
properly kept. Solution may be had, at
least approximately, of the old question
as to the duty of the physician i'll cases
where patients are able to pay but do
not do so. A physician recently died in
one of the prominent cities of this sec
ton who had for many years had prac-
tice of $4,000 to S40.c10 per year. but he
never enforced collections, and did not
leave money enough TO pay funeral eY-
penses. He had sentimental notions
about pressing collections for his serv-
ices. There is something peculiar about
this business. People do not usually
employ physician unless they have
confidence in his ability. If he affords
relief for distress or saves the life, it
might be supposed that gratitude would
take financial form, out that is not the
way the story runs usually.

A STRANGE VOTE.

The voting in Pennsylvania Tuesday
is not of the least consequence TO the
general politics of the country. If the
Republican ticket for the unimpOrtant
state offices had been defeated, no one
would have thought of placing the state
in the doubtful list next year. 1t IS the
basis Of the protective policy. and when
it turns away from it there will be few
left to do its service. But it is surpris
ing that the independent, honest anti
QUAY elements should consent to the
election of state officials who could not
possibly be radically hostile in their ae-
ton to the boOdling the governor has
called the state senate to investigate.
Still, so it seems.

GOOD FIGHTING GROUND.

Shortly before the election Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND went to Massachusetts and made
one speech. He was given credit by
the Republicans for being man who
expresses his convictions and the facts
as he sees them strongly and bluntly,
with no diplomatic mellOwing. He SAID
in his speech that the election of Gov.
RUSSELL would have the effect to place
Massachusetts IN theDemocratic column
for 1892. National issues were domi-
nant, and it was for that reason he was
there, and the Democrats abroad were
so much interested in the result.
The Republicans caught this up at
once, as just in their hand to
stir all the prejudices of partisan
growth and drive away any Republicans
who might he disposed TO vote for Rus
SELL on personal or local grounds. 1t
seemed to them a Democratic bIunder
to have the lines drawn SO closely, and
especially by CLEVELAND. Probably
it repealed some who were inclined to
vote for the Democratic candidate. But
it was the right thing to say. Supple
mented by the statement of Gov. Rus
SELL, it defines the party status of Mas
sachusetts. 1t is for the tariff policies
of the Democratic party. The fight was
for position in the contest of 1892, and the
Democrats held their favorable ground.
There is another thing to be noticed
in the Massachusetts election. A year
ago the Republican vote was $4,000 less
than at the presidential election, while
the Democratic was but L 900 less. All
the Republicans had to do was to call
out these reserves to sweep the state.
They called, in fact yelled like drown
ing men, and brought out 10000 of the
laggardS; but at the same time the
Democrats swelled their vote to 1900.
going 1000 above the largest figures
they ever had. This shows that the Re-
publican reserves are largely tariff re-
formers voting with the Democrats, and
will make that state good fighting
ground for the Democrats next year.
If Mr.. CLEVELAND is the candidate,
he will almost certainly carry the state.

ONE SORT OF CONSOLATION.

The Republican press is getting COM
fort from the elections because its party
appears to have majority on a joint
ballot in the legislatures of several Of
the states where its executive ticket
was defeated. 1t draws the inference
from this that the result where it was
worSted was brought about by the per-
sonai popularity of the Democratic CAN
dIdateS, and by this alone. On questions
of principle, it declares, the people in
dorse the national administration i'll
New York. i'll Iowa and i'll Massachu-
sets; but IN the choice of men they pre-
fer FLOWER to FASSETT. BoIES to
WHEELER and RUSSELL. to ALLEN.
This is all very fine for consolation.
but is it moi a little remarkable? Let
us suppose that the Democracy is really
in a minority in one or both houses OF
the New York legislature, Tor example.
Is this an evidence that it does not con-
troll the state? In the last twenty years
there nave been only two Republican
governors in the Empire statc-JOHN y.

Democratic ticket has sometimes Iri-
umphed by ten thousand majority, once
by nearly two hundred thousand, and
this fall it is more than forty thousand
But from Albany comes year after year
the same story OF a Republican legisla-
ture, now in one branch and again in
both branches. but almost invariably OIL
joint ballot.
What is the explanation? Is this due
o the virtue of Republican principles?
Yes, it is. And what Republican prin-
ciples are so effective rs to accomplish
such result? The principles of pOliti-
cal fraud and dishonesty. The reason
why the Republicans So invariably con
troll the New York legislature, carry so
many congressional districts and elect
so many United States senators, is be-
cause they have so shametully gerry
wandered the state. Session after SEES
sion they have refused to provide for a
constitutional convention or for a reap
portionment to correspond with the
growth and changes in population.
Whole districts are DISTINGUISHED by
their policy, and the right of suffrage
denied the voters who live in them.
The worst stories of intimidation from
the South, with which thsy seek to keep
alive the spirit of sectionalism, d o not
equal their achievements here. That
they may remain in power, they defy
the popular will; and having, by an ar
rangement perfected years ago, gotte n
hold on one department of the states
government, they refuse to let go. even
though the sanctity OF our institutio II S
is polluted by their course.
Criminals always have some things to
cheer them, even though they are not
to their credit; and, if in this hour of
their discontinue, the Republican press
can find any pleasure in the thought
that their foul play brings them some
reward, one ought not to begrudge them
