If Ohio has certainly gone Demoera

If Ohio has certainly gone Democrat
ic, Or even closely Democratic, it is a
crushing rebuke to Mckinley and con-
demnation of his odious tariff law. On
the Republican side of the house high
protection was made the leading issue
Of the campaign. They attempted to
evade the discussion of the folce bill
and denied in many quarters that it
was an issue. The result in the whole
country shows that Mckinley and his
tariff law are odious to the American
people.-LqlchburQ NeaOs.

Some of our republican brethren of
the press are solicitous lest Biela's
comet, which disappeared from human
gaze in 1915 but has recently come up
smiling and is making straight for the
earth, should knock things endways
and thus spoil all the fun of the demo
cratic party for the next four years.
They may rest perfectly easy. When
Biela's comet comes close enough the
democratic party will just collar it and
add one more electoral vote to those
already recorded for Cieve and Steve.

weaken, the farmer too often accepts the tenn
porary tendency as an evidence of that which
is to be continuous. and so he lets go when h,
should in most instances do the very opposite
Thus he creates that which is against his in
terest. Likewise when there is deficiency in
supplies, and values advance affording nice
margin of profit he seems unable to compre-
bend that the time to meet the demand has
arrived-he is too much inclined to increase
his confidence in still higher prices in proper
ton to the temporary advance being gained,
all hands want to sell, and down go values
with disappointments to shippers.
The position of corn is fairly strong, and
such as to discourage undue short selling at
the current basis of values. There is, how
ever, large enough supply in sight to check
any inclination to count on an advance to
especially high prices.
The visible supply of wheat has been fur
Their enlarged, through the continued liberal
movement of wheat toward spring grain CEN
tiers. Possibly the maximum point is not yet
reached-quite likely it is near at hand, at any
rate. The aggregate now passes the previous
record. The highest point previously was in
January, 1887 when the total was 1872, 900
bushels smaller than now. But these figures
should not be considered without recognizing
the growth of storage facilities at the centers |
encouraging greatly enlarged transfer of
grain from the interior to the regular ware
houses.
The receipts of wheat at winter rain mar
kets for the week were the smallest in aggre- !
gate of any week since the middle of July. |
and slightly smaller than corresponding week |
last year.
FINANCIAL. |
After discussing at some length the prob |
able effect of the result of the Presidential |
election on the price of stocks generally, |
Henry Clews concludes his financial review of |
November 18th as follows
Under all the circumstances, while we see
nothing in the new situation to encourage ac-
i've buying of stocks neither, on the other
hand, do we advise any haste to make sacri-
ices in realizing. The commercial conditions
'emain healthy; the railroads are doing a
prosperous business; the foreign markets are
till buying our securities; and the money
market, though still active, affords all requir-
ID facilities for carrying stocks. 1t will be
prudent, however, to keep near the shore and
watch the temper of the market under the
lew conditions

Hon. Adlai E. stevenson, the next
vice president of the United States, has
honestly earned the office to which the
suffrages of his fellow-citizens have
elevated him, for no man labored more
arduously than he did in the campaign.
He was untiring in his canvass; he
traversed the country from one end to
the other; his speeches breathed fer
vent democracy, and yet, though Wig
orous and forceful at ell times, they
were unmarried by anything approach
ing abuse or coarseness. Wherever he
addressed the people, he made good
impression. To cap the climax, in his
own State, Republican Illinois, its peo-
lie were inspired by pride in him,
y ..de the greatest effort of their lives
and, for the first time in three decades,
gave the electoral vote to the Demo
cratic National ticket. No man is en-
titled to sincerer congratulations than
is Mr.. Stevenson.-I1deTAppe05.

The Richmond Times says that one
result of the big Democratic landslide
will be the admission of the territories
of Arizona and New Mexico. In 1888,
after the billion dollar Congress had
been elected, there was Immediately re-
ceived into the Union the territories of
Washington, Wyoming, Montana and
Dakota, and the latter was cut up into
two States. All this was done to give
the Republicans ten more United
States senators, but Arizona and New
Mexico were left out in the cold, al
though they each had more popula-
ton than any of those admitted, for no
reason except that they were Demo
cratic in their tendencies. Now the
Democrats propose to give them their
rights, out of which they have been
defrauded by Republican injustice.

After Cutting the Little Ones Throat lie
Laves His Face with the Hot Life Bleed.
The Mailman Attacks His Aged Mother
and Nearly Kills Her Also.
MoRRIsTowN, Pa, Sept. e8-Maddened
by the delirium Of typhoid fever, William
Lock, a huckster of Harmonville, a small
town near here, ON Tuesday beat his
mother nearly to death, and last night cut
the throat Of his infant son While laboring
under the belief that he had been com
manded by God to sacrifice the child's life
For the past few weeks he has been suf
fering from typhoid fever On Tuesday
Last while delirious from the disease, Lock
sprang from his bed, and rushing TO the
room occupied by his aged mother began
10 beat her about the head and shoulders
with heavy cane.
The frightened woman's appeals for
mercy and screams for help only caused
the maddened man to shower his blows on
her with increased fury. .Neighbors, at
tracted by Mrs. Locks cries, came TO her
assistance and succeeded in overpowering
Lock and dragged him back to his room.
His Mother Dying.
A physician was summoned, and he
found that Mrs. Lock had number of
cuts and bruises about her head and shout
ders, and her arm was broken in two
places while shielding herself from the rain
of blows that fell upon her
The shock and fright left Mrs. Lock
greatly exhausted, and although still alive
it is improbable that she will long survive.
After this terrible experience male nurse
was procured 10 attend to Lock. The muir
derous instinct seemed TO have left him
and no further outbreaks were appre-
hended.
The fever stricken man, however, rudely
and horribly dissipated this belief last
night. Suddenly springing from his bed,
he ran to a window overlooking a porch
roof. Clambering out, he strobe along
until he came TO window opening into a
room occupied by his wife and two small
children.
Leaping through the window, Lock went
directly 20 the crib in which lay sleeping
his nineteen-months-old boy. The mans
face revealed his purpose. His terrified
wife screamed for help, arousing Christie
pher Brown, "a hoarder, and throwing the
household into panic.
Bathed In Iiaby's Blood.
Lock walked to the mantelpicce, and tax
ing q razor from it went back to the crib
and raising the frightened child in his arms
stepped through the window upon tn,
porch roof Holding the child up ia tho
air, Lock cried; IF ] cut your throat You
win he an angel. Jesus has commanded
me to wash my face in your blood"
The shrieking and agonized mother
turned away her head, unable TO watch thl
butchery of her babe, as Lock with onI
sweep Of the keen steel cut his boys throa'
from ear TO ear. Laying the bleeding form
of the child upon the roof Lock stopped
and plunging his hands into the warn
| blood raised them to his face and washeC
Il in the crimson fluid.
The screams of the madman's wife and
/ the other inmates Of the house had brough
in the neighbors, and they finally sue
ccoded in overcoming the unfortunate maj
after n desperate struggle. He was takel
