A Grammatical Pupil.

A country schoolmaster in the neighbour
hood of Manchester the other day, after
giving one Of his pupils a sound drubbine
for speaking ungrammatically, sent him
to the other end of the room to inform an.
other boy that he wished to speak to him,
ut the same time promising to repeat the
dose if he spoke to him ungrammatically.
The youngster being quite satisfied with
what he had got determined to be exact,
and thus addressed his fellow pupil:
There is common substantive of mas
culine gender, singular number, nomina-
tive case and in an angry mood, that sits
perched upon the eminence ut the other
end of the room, wishes to articulate few
sentences to you in the present tense

THE ELECTION.

Election day is here. Its issues are
momentous. 1t is safe to say that the
result of the election is determined al
ready, and merely needs to be made
public by official count. The singular
feature OF the present campaign has
been its freedom from personal abuse of
the candidates, aud the absence of the
usual torchlight and hurrah element.
The discussion has generally been con-
fined to the main issues and on a high
plane.
From battle practically confined to
the four States of New York, Indiana
New Jersey and Connecticut in 1883, the
fight has spread over twenty States, and
election day ilds two-thirds of the
twenty still doubtful, although their
tendency In one direction or another is
generally pronounced enough to hazard
prediction.
THE TIMES has endeavored to be
guided in it's forecasts by the most
reliable indications obtained from nom
partisan sources. In doing this it has
possibly caused offence to some narrow
minded individuals on both sides whose
own particular shade Of spectacles have
made the outlook blue or rosy as the
case might be. But that is the expected
lot of an independent paper and the
surest proof of its independence.
To sum up again the outlook: 1t looks
Democratic with enough of an element
of doubt to render uncertain whether
Cleveland will obtain q majority of the
electoral votes. It seems to US highly
improbable that President Harrison can
be reelected. We are convinced that
he will lose so many votes TO the Pop
ulists west Of the Mississippi that only
clean sweep of the so called pivotal
States of the East could save him, and
that is practically out of the range of
probability
If Cleveland and Stevenson are
elected to-day the next House will be
safely Democratic over both Republi.
cams and Populists. II the election goes
to Harrison and Reid the Third party
will be apt to hold the balance of power.
We do not see clear Republican major.
ity in the House under any c:rcum-
stanoes. The Democrats stand reason.
ably sure to gain four Senators, and
may be able to secure control OF the
Senate by coalition with the few AL
liance-Populist-silver Senators and such
liberal Republicans as Teller, Walcott,
Jones and Washburn.
One thing our readers must prepare
for and that is inability to decide the re-
suit of the election Wednesday morning.
II, as indications point, the voting is
close in the pivotal States the result
may be in doubt for forty-eight hours or
longer. Delay in ascertaining the re-
suit is the one serious defect of the
Australian ballot.

Straight Talk to Mr. Bennett.
Couiee CITY Ncws


Can the Democrats do any Growing over their
public improvement plank? Is not the section
of the Democratic platform that the Tacoma
Ledger SO prominently faunts, a fraud and lie
on Its face? II the balance o, the state should
oppose the opening Of the Puya!lup reservation
CT any other public enterprise that Tacoma is
interested in, would the Ledger take the same
stand? Any one who reads the Democratic
pandemonium for two days at Olympia, that
caused all the prominent Democrats to with
draw from the field rather than face de-
feat next November, would know it was
anything but a creditable proceeding to
those gathered there. The majority were
In favor OF Endorsing the canal; but after ad-
journment at a late hour, and before conven-
Ing the next day, enough trades were made
by Pierce county with the aspirants for office to
finally defeat the measure. The TRADE OF Pierce
county against the measure is not altogether
from patriotic feelings. The man who figures
as the owner OF the Tacoma Ledger, that hoists
the condemnatory plank of the Democrats
against our members Of congress, doesn't do
this because of the saving to the taxpayers by
defeating the appropriation asked. but because
1t does not further any of his own personal
schemes. After our members in con-
gress by their united efforts doubled
the appropriation first granted by the
five cent Democratic congress for river and
harbor improvements in Washington. is it not a
clear case of gall and false on Its face to con-
denim them for forcing a parsimonious Demo-
cratic congress to recognize the needs of our
state-to improve its waterway and harDors an
to survey our unsurveyed lands to enable the
settler to procure title 10 his home? /.

BENEFITS shameful Attack ON Allen.


Nelson BENNETT wants to be United States
senator. That is laudable ambition. and he
can afford the expense. In the past month
there has been great shrinkage in the number
OF men who would assist Mr. Bennett TO become
senator. They do not and cannot consc,en.
tiously approve his methods His paper. the
Ledger, shamefully abuses Allen and uses tho
Seattle canal as an excuse. Mr.. Allen was regu
larry elected to the Senate and is entitled to the
respect OF the people. Nodoubt when he speak
to his constituents he can show that he has
acted honorably Then why should Mr.. Ben.
nett in his Republican "a paper be allowed to
abuse Mr.. Alien, Mr.. McGraw and the Pierce
county delegation to the state convention? These
latter gentlemen did their duty and secured all
the nominations they went after But for all
that, MI. Bennett has shamefully abused them.
and is doing his utmost to defeat the whole
state ticket 1t is just aud proper that the Re-
pub!icans OF the state should now show Mr..
Bennett that the party is greater than either he
or his Ledger, and that his senatorial campaign
must be conducted in some other way. Because
King county people stick together and send able
men to state conventions is no reason why the
Republican state ticket should be abused and
thrown down BY Republicans
