The Pursuit of Kid.

Ever since the surrender Of GERONIMO to
Gen. MILES the southwestern frontier has
enjoyed comparative freedom from Indian
anxiety. however. has been created by an
Apache outlaw known rs KID. with his
small gang OF renegades from the White
Mountain reservation.
Several years ago MD was pursued and
captured by tho troops. He and his party
were duly tried and sentenced to n
long term OF Imprisonment. Afterward
without the concurrence Of the military
authorities In Arizona. they were par
doncd and released. The civil authorities
promptly got after them. arrested and tried
them again. and they were sentenced to be
hanged. But party of eight OF them killed
Sheriff REYNOLDS and Deputy HOLMES. and
escaped to Sonora. There they did not re-
main very long. 50 that when murder was
committed in the neighborhood OF Tomb
stone popular suspicion was at once d.
rected to this gang OF mscreants. Early
last year number OF Apaches were ar
rested and put under guard at San Carlos
on the charge of giving aid and comfort to
KID. He had at that time been hunted for
ny ttlc WucueNeT HIS presence
was known in any quarter. but always
without success. 1t was thought that he
might receive some sort OF assistance from
his old companions still on the Government
reservation. Be that as it may. he has been
searched for from time to time among tho
mountains. and several OF his old comrades
have been put out Of the way PAsHLASTAH

Creek. and SAVES. who was wounded there.
was soon afterward captured But hitherto
KID has had the luck to escape.
Now, at last. n crisis in the career OF this
outlaw seems to have come. A few days
ago Lieut.. BEAN. with a small body of
troopers. had skirmsh with KIDS band
between Turkey and Cave creeks. and cap
tured their horses. 1t appears that the
Lieutenant in turn was thrown on the de-
fensivo and compelled to intrench himself.
Inasmuch as lie had but fifteen men with
him, Lieut.. J. j. HoRNBROoK has been hur-
ried from Fort Bowie to the scene Of the
operations with reGnforcements. Hitherto
the great trouble has been to find KID and
his band; now it remains to be seen whether
the hope Of capturing Lieut. BEAN and his
command will hold the marauders long
enough to allow them to be surrounded by
the achievements.

has not yet pledged herself to cooperate
with Franco. and he insists that no such
pledge would be given II Germany would
but maintain an attitude of indifference
toward the Cars doings in the Balkan
Peninsula. AS to the now taxes demanded.
1t Is pointed out that, although these
amount to only a little moro than three
cents per week from each OF the 100000
families in the empire. yet even this exac-
ton will be severely felt by people gener-
ally poor and already heavily burdened.
1t Is on tho express ground that they
cannot spare another penny for taxes that
the Polish members OF the Reichstag have
notified tho Government that they must
either abstain from voting or oppose the
Army bill. Even more unyisldinG in their
resistance to the proposed law arc the Rad
icals or Freisinnige party. the Socialists.
the Alsace- Lorrainers. and most OF the
National Liberals. On the other side. the
Conservatives. although at first they dis
approved Of tho reduction OF the term OF
service from three years to two. have made
up their minds to accept tho measure. and
they seem likely to have tho assistance OF
tho so-called 1nperialists or Reichspartei.
Thus far the friends and opponents OF the
bill are nearly balanced. and everything de-
ponds on the course taken by the Catholic
members constituting tho party OF the
Centre. Some Of the Centrists have prom.
ised to voto for tho bill. but others. particu-
larry In the South German States. have
shown themselves hostile to the project
1t is improbable that any instructions on
the subject have as yet been received from
the Vatican. for it would be impossible to
veil from the public an incident fraught
with such iar-reachlng consequences.

In the face OF tho recent landslide we OBJ
servo an inclination to eliminate New York
as the decisive factor in tho election. There
were 500 electoral votes cast for CLEVELAND
and STEVENSON, and as only 22S were neccs-
sary to elect. the SO votes OF New York could
havo been taken out OF the list without
changing the result. say the new ca!cu-
lators.
This sort OF reasoning is like jcer Mt

CLEVELAND and the representatives OF tho

became intclligible and satisfactory tho
Democratic campaign was ct n standstill.
1t was not until q general understanding
that New York was solid. confirmed by Gov
ernor Flowers bold prediction that the
Empire State would DO good for $4,000 Dem
ocratic majority, that the Democratic flood
began to gather. Then the electricity OF
confidence thrilled the Democracy every
where. and. although the result was beyond
the widest dreams OF political extrava-
gance. the main cause OF it is the same at
the end as it was Mt the beginning.
New York formed and led tho Democratic
procession from first to last.

MIR. Edison on Baldheads.

Our illustrious American electrician. Ed
IsoN. is now studying the subject OF bald
headedness. and We have given due heed
to his ideas about it. as they are re-
ported in our alniable contemporary. the
Newark Advertiser. He maintains that
bald pated people die young. while people
who arc well rooted with hair live long:
and he believes that, us he himself has a
fertile scalp. he will live to n ripe old age.
We cannot believe that Mr.. EDISON has
ransacked tho pages OF history for proof
OF his hrsute theory We are confident
that. II he can be induced to examine the
portraits OF the great. he will change his
mind on tho subject.
We are able to tell him that very many
Of tho eminent personages OF the world
who were short OF hair. even in their early
manhood, lived to a green old age; and we
can show him the pictures OF inventors.
commanders, sages. statesmen, saints. and
nabobs who began to grow bald when
young. and grew steadily balder as they
grew older right straight along. Where
shall wo begin with our illustrations
SOCRATES tho Greek md CESAR the Roman
were both disposed to badness in their
prime. yet the former lived for over seventy
years and the latter for nearly sixty. From
C.EsAR's time to that Of PETER the Hermit.
from COLUAlBUs's time to that OF VOL
TAIRE. from tho Sage OF Kinderllook's S"
time to that OF Con. BEN BUTLER. we can
name numerous persons OF eminence whose
locks began to fall long before they reached
middle age. yet who lived to be as old as
Mr.. EDISON himself will be when he Is m
octogcnarian. Not few OF our Revolu-
tionary sires were bald. having begun to
shed their hair while yet colonists and We
must ask Mr.. EDISON not to be deceived by
the pictures Of that period but to bear in
mind that. up to the opening OF this GEN.
fury. the lurgc-bottomed wig was used by
many Of the gentlemen OF our country.
What does Mr.. EDISON know about the
badness Of tie three ADAMsEs or about
tho locks OF JEfTEIsON, HAMILTON, and
several OF their compeers Can he tell us
whether the Father OF his Country woro
urtilcis, hair: Did Ito ever see Il man
adorned with toupee. TO say nothing Of
perukc? We forewarn Mr.. EDISON that, in
ransacking history for facts bearing upon
baldheadedness. 1t Is necessary to proceed
with caution. He will find. by the illusions
OF ancient and modern authors to the habit
OF wig wearing. that very many notable
men havo had very much less hair atop
than they were credited with.
Even in our own times. alas. there are
not few distinguished Americans from
thirty to eighty years old who are as bald
headed rs the Hebrew prophet ELISHA was.
Let Mr.. EDISON go to the city Of Washing
ton and look down upon tho heads OF tho
members of the United States Senate. He
will see Senators there who are rs lively as
crickets, though they have been more or
less bald for the greater part OF n half CEN
tury. Let him then go abroad and find

The Rainbow Is There.

A highly esteemed friend wants to know
what The Sun thinks OF rainbows now.
We see n rainbow. a Democratic rainbow
over tho West at last and an uncommonly
beautiful spectacle it presents. Dull are
the eyes that do not discern this majestic
arch of brilliant cOlors in the sky.
The rainbow now in sight appears. as ev.
cry Intelligent person must have observed
after the flood and not before it. 1t is there
fore legitimate rainbow. strictly in accord
with tho laws OF natural philosophy and
with Biblical precedent. We recognize II
and admire it accordingly.
The rainbow after the dcluge Is a rainbow
OF tho right sort. There Is wide difference
between the political significance OF the
campaign rainbow of mere promises and
that OF the real bow Of promise.

mems. Let Mr.. EDISON prosecute his re-
searches around the world. and send us
tho ld-headed news from China. japan,
and other countries.
The truth is that Mr.. EDISON cannot pos.
sibly sustain his contention that long-lived
men always have thick heads OF hair He
suys that his own father. who is yet vigor-
Gus at eighty-three- long may he Hour
ish has "wonderful head OF hair" but
we can Offset this case by that OF citizen
OF New York over ninety who has been
bald since he was in his twenties.
We are prepared to affirm and to prove
that the abundance OF mans hair does
not surely betoken long life. and that the
badness of mans head does not bctoken
his early death. We can give piles OF facts
upon this subject. We have just elected
President who is rapidly growing bald.
though yet far from old age. Several OF the
ancient sages regarded early badness as n
sign OF early wisdom. We admit that 1t
has not been so in EplsoNs case. for he has
lots OF hair on his head: but EDISON must
not Judge oil mankind by himself
The badness OF some people Is due to
heredity. In this city there Is family OF
three generations. all the members OF winch
are beyond maturity. all OF whom began
to grow bald when about twenty years old ;
and the grandsires' father was as bald
when young as no Is when old. In other
cases tho loss OF the hair Is caused by solar
heat. or by fcbrile maladics. or by The ac-
ton OF parasites. or by erythcmutous affec-
tions OF the scalp. or by the wearing OF
tightly fitting and unyielding hats. or
perhaps by deep thought.
The learned French barber OF this city.
who has mado scientific study OF tho hair
OF the heads Of his customers. says he could
make all immense fortune II he knew how
to cause the hair to grow upon those bald
scalps In which the cpidermic cells are
closed. lIe has striven for lifetime to in
vent something that would be potent IN
this line. or that would give tho promise
Of potency: but he confcsses with sorrow
that his labor has been in vain

Is the Kaiser or Bismarck Right ?

Emperor WILLIAM has committed him
self to the support of Chancellor CAPRIvI's
bill for the enlargement OF the German
army. On the other hand. Prince BISMARCK
has condemned tho bill az needless. The
hour is close at hand when the Reichstag
will determine whether the Kuiscr or BIS
NAEcK expresses the convictions OF the
German people.

new military law are briefly these: Con-
scription has been SO much extended in
neighboring and hostile countries that in

end her army In twcnty-thrce years will in
clude A.55G.O0c. The inference drawn from
these facts Is that it Is indispensable for
Company to conscript all her able bodied
men. and it is accordingly proposed to raise
her army IN peace to 49,. 900 men, excluding
officers, and to increase tho number nm
nualIy recruited To 300 men, who. how
ever. will serve only two years. By these
changes in her recruiting system Germany
will have at her disposal in twenty-five
years 4.iC9.Ot0 drilled soldiers. Tho in

Tho Mugwump Vote--A Conclusive
Demonstration.

The corrected returns for New York
afford an unprecedented opportunity to
measure the exact size OF the Mugwump
vote in this city. We mean by Mugwumps
those citizens who are represented and in
fuenced by the NcD York Ercning Post aud
the Nep York Times; who support Mr..
CLEVELAND. but despise and oppose and
SANDER Tammany Hall.
For tho first time 1t is possible to EMU
mcrate these citizens as accurately as II
they stood up in n limo to be counted. or
passed between tcllcrs. In the present
election there has been no prctence that
the significance Of the figures is obscured
by any complications whatever. There are
no accusations from any source OF trades.
deals. or subterranean transfers OF votes.
Tho totals arc worth precisely their face
value. nothing less and nothing more. The
vote for Mr.. GInRoY for Mayor expresses
the numerical strength OF Tammany Hall.
The vote for Mr.. CLEVELAND for President
expresses tho numerical strength OF Tam
many Hall. plus the Mugwump vote.
Under these conditions the problem Is
beautifully simple. and the conclusion is as
plainly in sight as is the City Hall cupola
The Tammany Hall vote for Mr.. GILRoY
for Mayor. in tho thirty Assembly districts
OF the town. is l74.244.
The vote for Mr.. CLEVELAND in the same
thirty districts is 174.54l. Over and beyond
the vote OF Tammany's supporters. the
CLEVELAND Muswump vote in New York is
exactly 297.
That this Is the precise measure OF the
Mugwump vote influenced against Tam
many in municipal affairs by Mr.. EDWIN L.
GODKIN Of the Erenina Post. and by the
ardent youths OF tho Nep York Times. ap-
pears clearly from the following circum-
stance:
The vote for EISsTEIN for Mayor falls
203 behind Gen. HARRIsoNs total in tho
city. II EINsrEISS total had exceeded
HARRIsoN's. or even had equalled it. the
organs OF anti-Tammany Mugwurpery
might assert with color OF probability that
certain Mugwumps besides the 207 voted
against Tammany by voting for Republic
can Mayor. 1t will be seen at glance that
this was not the case II it were the case.
ErNsTEINs total would equal or surpass
Gen. HARR1soN's.
Now. tho 207 New York friends OF CLEvE-
LAND and enemies OF Tammany Hall con-
stitute less than ope-ninth OF one per cent
OF the vote Of this city. For President. 2S2.-
$50 bullots were cast in New York on Tues
day. Tammany's share of Tho total vote is
GlS per cent. Tho anti-Tammany Mug
wumps' share Is less than onc-ninth OF
one per cent. 1t is less than one-seventh
OF the Prohibtionist or tho Populist vote.
Ii Is less than oDe-siHtecnth Of the vote
cast IN New York city for the Socialist
Labor candidate.
What wonder that the Hon. GROVER
CLEVELAND. sensible politician that he is.
and enjoying the immense advantage OF
WILLIAM C. WIHTSEYs loyal and clear
headed advice did not hesitate one instant
when it became necessary for him to choose
between tho 1924 Tammany Democrats
and tho 297 anti-Iammany Mugwumps

He was beaten: a big majority was recorded
against him. but no little credit Is due to Jacob
zimmerman for the showing no made on
Tuesday. Without any party nomination.
WITHOUT sloo Tor campaign expenses. without
amy influential or assisting friends either In
or out OF his district, he polled nearly 5000
votes as stump candidate for Alderman in
the Tenth. That wns 300 votes more than the
hcpublicans were able to give their Assembly
man In this district. and 1000 more than they
were able to get for their Alderman. and yet
the Republicans OF this district have more
than 100 Federal places. yielding $1,000
year. and their lender. John Nugent. has boon
taken care OF by the Republicans with offico
or with contracts for more than twenty years.
