The American farmer must be a
prompt man. He must do work at the
right time and do it well, and have done
with it. Our prevailing winds come
over a dry continent and are hungry for
moisture, while the winds of Ireland,
England and Western Europe pass over
the Atlantic Ocean, warmed by the
Gulf Stream, and are loaded with moist
ure. Here our roads are muddy to-day
and dusty tomorrow, and some people
gIumble and call it disagreeable eli

Mr., Howel's New Novel.

1t is announced that Mr.. HowELL's S
new novel will not go to the Harpers, as
has been the custom with all that the
novelist has written for some years past,
but that it has been bought by THE
Ladies' Home Journal, of Philadel-
phia, and it will be published in that
periodical. Mr.. Howells has been in
duced to make this change of publish
ers for his next novel because of the
financial inducements offered by the
Journal management, and of the en-
ormous audience which his work will
command through this periodical. The
story is one distinctly for girls, and will
portray the life Of a Western girl in
New York City.

New YORK, Nov. 5.--Revised returns
show that Flower carried the state by
45,64s majority. The senate stands: Re

The Twenty-fifth senatorial district,

Two senatorial districts are still in doubt,
according to Democratic calculations, the

Democrats claim the election of their can

other hand, assert that their candidate,

The result Of the election Tuesday,
shows conclusively the necessity Of
more polling places in Bloomsburg.
In the east district about fifty voters
were at the polls with tickets, when the
clock struck seven and the polls closed.
They were all deprived of a vote.
Votes were received at the rate Of
about one each minute-while the
crowd was at the polls. There are now
600 voters in the east district. If all
had desired to vote on Tuesday, there
would have been a continual crowd
and even then the votes would not
have been all received In 1888, for
president, there were 53r votes cast
and then a large number did not vote.
1t would be impossible for all to vote
who live in the east district, If they
come to the polls. The voting place
should be changed. AS now arranged
they are located at the extreme end of
each district. They should be located
near the center Of each voting district.

The light vote in Columbia county
can in no wise be charged to ineffici-
ency on the part Of chairman John X.
Townsend. He has worked early and
late, and arranged for series of meet
ings in the county, but was disapoint-
ed in several instances by not being
able to secure speakers, or by their
failure to appear at the appointed
time. Out of three speakers promised
him by state chairman Kerr for the
meeting in Bloomsbury last Saturday
evening, not one appeared, or even
telegraphed that he could not come.

efforts of Mr.. Townsend. If there was
apathy in the Democratic party, it was
not because Mr.. Townsend failed to do
all that could be done to arouse the
people to the importance of the cleo

most satisfactory manner.

Press reporter: ~ am simply dazed at the
result. From what had heard believed
Mr.. Fassett would certainly be elected.

Flower Receives the News.
Candidate Flower spent all the evening
at his home, 592 Fifth avenue. A special
wire had been run into his house and a
telegraph instrument merrily licked the
good news from all parts of the state in
the library 1t was regarded from the out
set as good news and the governor-eect
never once lost confidence. A party OF
friends were with him and 1t was early in
the night that they said that everything z
was over but the shouting, and they might
rs well shout then and there.
Soon thereafter the special wire began
to tick jubilant and congratulatory tele-
grams and there was big stack OF them
on his table. As early rs possible the gov.
ernor-elect sought his bed, and probably
got the first sound nights sleep undis-
turbed by party cares he has had for many
a day.
Mr.. Cleveland Gets the Returns
Ex-President Cleveland received the re-
turns quietly at his home in Madison
avenue, in company with few personal
friends. He evinced much interest in the
results in this and other states, but was
not inclined to make any comments on
the spur of the moment.

How Fassett Received Defeat,

ELNIRA, Nov 5.-Mr. Fassett received
the election returns from n telegraphic in
strument placed in his library. His wife,
father, mother, brothers and sister were
present. The first reports indicated his
election. About 1910 o'clock report
from a Democratic source claimed Mr..
Flowers election by 5000 majority. Mr..
Fassett called his wife in from the draw
ing room and laughingly said:
well, June, my dear, we are relieved of
tremendous responsibility"
81 wonder why you ran at ALL" was the
chiding reply.
II didn't, responded Mr.. Fassett, laugh
ingly. Then, AS he looked over the re-
turns from others Of the country districts,
he added. 1T is apparent that Fare and
not Fair defeated u.s."
When spoken to regarding alleged frauds
perpetrated in this city he remarked with
out surprise: II told our boys, though, to
work honestly. regardless of what our op-
ponents were doing, whether l was de.
feated or elected. l am convinced that
this election will demonstrate the truth of

ALBANY, Nov. 5.-Governor Hill says
"The result is extremely ;Natifying and

ing defeat which Mr.. Fassett received in
his own city of Elmira and in his county
of Chemung is particularly significant of

campaigning, and l am especially proud
that my own county recorded its prefer
ence for Mr.. Flower so emphatically.

There will be no constitutional con

many thousands. In Columbia county
there is a small majority in favor of it

year. The executive council will probably
stand Republicans to Democrat. Rus
sell, it is estimated, has received 156, 900
and Allen l5l. 900 votes, leaving the gov
ernor a plurality of about 5000.
The vote in Boston is 36,5l2 for Russell
and 22,9S7 for Allen, which gives the
Democrats a plurality in the city of 1888.
The towns outside Of the cities last year
gave Bracket 59,3l3 and Russell 52 $50.
Returns from 2S2 towns this year give
Russell 1851 and Allen 59,3S4. Governor
Russell gained 13 per cent. in these towns,
which applied to the rest Of the towns
would make his total in all towns &c. 1893.
The same towns showed gain for Allen
of 16 per cent. over Brackett's vote of last
year. This percentage applied to the rest
of the towns will give him 6S, ,S03 in all the
towns.
Add to these figures the vote of Boston,
and it swells Russell's vote to 81, I'll, and
Aliens to 9l,700 The cities outside of
Boston gave Russell year ago 55, IA, and
Bracket 52,5l5. Russell carried them then
by about 1850 plurality. The increased
vote this year in these same cities indi-
Gates that Russell will have over 10000
votes and Allen $1,000, thus making the
total vote in the state about 156, 900 for
Russell and 15l 900 for Allen.
An analysis of the returns from these
cities shows that Allen gained over Brack-
EFT in Chelsea and Somerville, and rela-
lively in Holyoke On the other hand
Russell has made net gains In Lawrence,
New Bedford, Fall River, Salem, Chicopee
and elsewhere.
Colonel Allen, the Republican nominee
for governor, was beaten In his own ward,
and in his own precinct by 80 plurality.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY IL, 1891.
SILVER LEGISLATION.

The argument used by the agricultural
element for free coinage of silver is that
money would thereby become more album
dant. and the inevitable result would be
that it would be far easier to pay exist
ing debts, while the prices of all farm
products would be thereby greatly in
creased. But let us look at the matter a
moment. The free coinage means that
anyone owning silver can have it coined
into silver dollars free of expense-in
other words that a man who owns an
ounce of silver can have it coined into
an ounce oil legal tender. The value of
an ounce of silver in open market is
$1.02-the value of an ounce OF silver
coined into legal tender is about $1.30
lin other worts free coinage would de-
clare that $1.O2 in value is suddenly
transformed into 81 .30.by being melted.
This is an excellent reason why the silver
Kings, who own millions of ounces of
silver should favor the law, but what
benefit will that be to the farmer? A de-
preeiated coinage will initiate prices, but
all prices will initiate equally, SO that the
purchasing power will be no greater
under the new order of things.
Gold does not huctuate, and in every
minted gold coin on both sides of the
ocean, the full value of the metal is rep
resented-a dollar is worth a hundred
cents the world over. The result of at
tempting to force a fctitius value into
silver will inevitably driver gold out OF
circulation, so that it will be quoted at
a premium This would not make so
much difference providiog the indebted
ness of the farmer were not made pay
able in gold. The writer recently went
to every loan agent in Sank Centre and
discovered that there is gold clause in
all the mortgages drawn. Such being
the case, the farmer would not only re-
ceiye no benefit from free silver coinage
in the matter of debt-paying, but on the
contrary would be compelled to pay a
premium on the mortgage, measured by
the difference in the quoted value ofsilyer
and gold. Ifgold advance ten or twenty
per cent. he will have to pay that much
more than the face of his mortgage OF
paid in silver-which will then be the
universal money medium. This is a mat
ter of very grave Importance, and de-
mands more than passing attention.
