The Popular Vote For Presi-
dent.

OcIlI.
1t will be impossible to deter
mine at the coming election which
candidate has a majority of the
popular vote. This has been diff
cult several times in the past be-
cause of fusions; to-day when
these fusions with the Populists
are becoming so general it will be
altogether impossible.
AS the popular majority does
not count, does not elect candi-
date, it is not really material that
it should be known who receives
it. Still it is an interesting poll
teal fact, and as there is strong
movement in some of the Western
States to elect the President by
the popular vote, it was desired to
get all the facts and figures on
this point. These, because of the
numerous fusions and combina-
tons between the Democrats and
Populists in the West, and the
Republicans and Populists in the
South, will never be known.
The disposition to fusion is
steadily progressing, and scarcely
day passes which does not chro-
nicle one or more of these COM
binations. The Democrats and
the Peoples party of Oregon have
just united upon the basis of two
electors from each side. In Ne.
braska the proposition to combine
with the Alliance is still under
consideration by the Democratic
committee. In Colorado the De.
mocrats electoral ticket has beer
pulled down and the voters adyis.
ed to support Weaver.
These and a dozen other similar
combinations have caused thu
greatest possible confusion, an(
the finest mathematician living
will not be able to determine how
the votes should be divided, an(
which candidate has received al
actual majority. In the past
when fusions Of this kind were
made, as in Michigan in 1884, al
arrangement was reached to hav'
the tickets exactly alike, excep
one elector, so that it would b.
possible by the vote for the cleo
tor to determine what proportion
of the ballots were contributed by
the Democrats and what by tn
Labor men. No such arrange
ment has been made to-day, anC
it will be impossible to separate
the vote.
Another consequence of the flu
sion will be to give Weaver I
much larger vote than he is emit
tied to. The popular vote of thu
Third party will probably be three
times as great as it ought to be
two-thirds of the ballots being re
ceived from Democrats and Repu
blicans and only one-third from
the genuine Populists. Of course
the latter will claim all the credit
and it is probable that their part.
will receive considerable strength
and impetus from the assistance
thus give it. The Democrats ant
Republicans are both fostering i
to use against each other, and it ii
to be feared have given it a dan
gersus NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

All Saints Day.


which is, among the Catholics one
of the greatest feasts of the church.
As customary with Catholics the
day was devoted to the dead. On
that day, parents and friends visit,
decorate and embelish the humble
mount as we'll as the most costly
monument, as in one as well as In
the other are enclosed forever, the
remains of some dear and loved
ones, whose memory is ever kept
in remembrance. Very few are
the tombs and graves which re-
main uncared for or are forgotten
on that day, when every cathO-
lie makes a religious duty to 60 to
the last and peaceful resting of
those who have gone ahead of us
to the world where there is no
end and where everything Is SO
sublime, and show them by our
humble offerings of tokens of love
and respect for those whom we
have loved SO tenderly and SO af-
fectionately.
Some are affectionately glad to
have this grand occasion to show
how they keep in memory their
departed ones, and be able once a
year to devote day, a whole day
to decorate their sacred abode and
offer a sweet, affcctionate and fer
vent prayer for their souls.
1t is indeed day that recalls to
the memory the sweet past when
those who are no more were with
them in the family circle where
all was happiness and pleasure,
which, alas! was followed by the
sad event of the death of one or
more members of that once hap
Ply family and leaving empty
places that are never to be filled,
and the once happy home has
made place for sorrow and grief.
1t fills the heart with satisfac-
ton that makes one happy to be
able to pay this yearly tribute of
love and respect to the dead. II
is indeed a beautiful and worthy
custom that should ever last, fol-
the death of loved ones does not
carry away our love and affection
for them; on the contrary we love
them much more, and they are
forever kept in our memory.
This year, the graves and tombs
in our cemetery were more pro.
fusely decorated than in previous
years and some of the decorations
were exquisitely beautiful in ma.

standing the wet soil, it presented
and impressive sight to see oul
people kneeling before the tombs
offering their prayers for thei1

that came from the deep of the
heart was heard, and on the cheeks
of the others tears could be seer

unmistakable sign the sorrow, the
grief that came from the bottom

how sad it is to think, silently re.

His is one of the most successful
theatrical organizations travelling. A
bus will run to Fairhaven after the
close of the performance, conveying
passengers for % cents. A Boston
paper contains the following mention
of GUS
Gus Williams, the celebrated come
dian, is probably member of more
clubs, organizations and societies than
any other actor in the profession, and
this is not of his own seeking either,
but is owing to his great popularity
and his well-known powers of enter
tanning. AS raconteur he has but
few equals, and his wonderful ability
and retentive memory in this regard
are matters of history. His pet order,
50 to speak, is the Mystic Shrine, of
which he is prominent member. His
opening nights in the larger cities are
often made gala occasions by the pres.
ence of hundreds of the wearers of the
well-known fez of that order. Gus is
also a Knight of Pythias, an Exalted
Ruler of the Boston Lodge of Elks, and
member of the Exempt Firemen's
Association of New York.
