AN UNJUST CHARGE.

Nothing could DO more unjust thar
for republican newspapers to hold our
Carter in any way responsible for repub-
lican defeat. 1t is true that Mr.. Carter
managed the republican campaign with
the assistance of Lemuel Eli Quigg in
1890, and that the party met with de-
feat; and that he was again at the head
of affairs this year when the party met
it's Waterloo, but those are mere coinci-
dences. 1t is not fair for the Hon.
Chris. Magee to say in his newspaper,
the Pittsburgh Times, for instance:
''That there was gross laundering in the
management of the republican canvass
cannot be denied. If there were no
other evidence of this than the prepos-
ferrous claims seriously made, and be-
ing the vote of New York state, it would
require no further demonstration. But
blunders of management cannot explain
the sweeping results Indicated by the re-
ports from east and west. Republicans
waited hopefully and confidently for the
mature judgment of this election to cor
rect the adverse verdict hastily given in
the congressional election of 1890, i'm
mediately after the Mckinley tariff bill
became a law. They wait still, hope
fully, but now fearfully. for more com
plete returns to show that the earlier
dispatches will be contradicted and
Chairman Carter's confidence sus-.
tanned"
OF course Mr.. Carter was confident,
nay buoyant, and claimed everything.
But that is his nature, and his enthusi-
asm and confidence were great factors
in the republican campaign. They in
spired the workers with zeal, and if they
unfortunately led gentlemen in Mon
tana or elsewhere to bet their money on
the result that is not Carriers fault.
Mr.. Carter has been the victim, in two
campaigns, of unfortunate combinations
of circumstances. The other fellows
simply got the most votes, but Carter
did not supply them; he did the best he
could to prevent the G. o. p. from going
down hill, but it a under too much
Roadway and he couldn't block the
wheels. The INDEPENDENT, on more
than n occasionsh felt called upon
to criticise Mr.. Carter for public acts,
but in this case it proposes to vindicate
him from unjust assault, and in 1896 it
will present his name again for chairman
of the republican national committee,
provided the party of that name is in
existence at that time.

A Wandarer In the SHY.

Boston, Nov. 14.-The Commonwealth
says that advices from the European union
of astronomers hin at the fact that Prof.
Berberich, of Berlin, considers the newly
discovered Holmes comet as Z; obably
identical with Biela's. This, If substan-
tiated, will be of the greatest interest to
astronomers. The comet was originally
discovered in 1772 BY Montaicne at Li-
moRes. Its periodicity was established by
Biela at ~Josephstadt, bohemia, in 1896.
But its position in proximity TO the sun D g.
vented its observation on the several oc-
casions of its return. In 1915 it was seen
as u faint nebula and was observed to sep
arate into two portions. On its next re-
turn, in 1852, two companions wera discern.
ible, but widely separated. and since that
tlmo it has not been seen. In 1879 a stream
of meteors was noted. the orbit of which
agreed with that of the comet, and an IN
tie. estiug relationship was at once estab
lished. The possibility that this comet
WAS t ensformed into Il stream of meteors.
and is once again visible to Us as a comet.
IS of exceeding interest, and of value as
well as n step toward the solution of the
mystery So rounding these wanderers of

Counterfeiters Caught.

New YORK, Nov. 14.-The polics think
they have frustrated what promised to de-
velop into a big counterfeiting conspiracy.
Detectives, after %shadowinR two men three
or four days, arrested Manuel Rodriguez, q
Spaniard, Thomas j. Parr, an E%nglisman.
The men attracted official attention by en-
quiries for an eugraver who could do fine
work. They encountered Louis Birnbaum,
an engraver, who subsequently Informed
the police that they offered him $500 to en-
grave a fifty pesos bank note plate. 1t was
to be a counterfeit of the Bank of Spain, of
the Isle of Cuba notes. Central and South
American states wee to be flooded with
bogus notes. One of them confessed.

owner of the Pate Stock farm, will soon In
augurate winter racing on an extensive
scale in Mexico. II have been a frequent
visitor to that country" said he, "and long
have thought a race course in the City OF
Mexico will be a paying institution. some
months ago l had an interview with Presi-
dent Diaz. He told me would assist me in
any way he could in bringing about the de-
sired result. l therefore made application
to the government for the privilege. of
erecting a race course and maintaining
breeding farms. l received u letter yester.
day, telling me the papers had been signed
and l shall leave for the oitv at once. /
hope to nave racing commenced there next
February. Then l shall construct and
operate cou SEES at Guadalajara, San Luis Po-
tosi, Pueblo and Montereyasso soon as possible.
l expect to meet with some encouragement
the first year. but by 1894 will have all the
best owners in the United States wintering
in that country. Our tracks will be good
and we will offer splendid inducements to
owners who will bring their stock down in
that delightful country"

CHICAGO is to Illinois what New York
city is to the Empire state. Harrison
carried Illinois outside Of Chicago and
was beaten by a Cleveland majority of
more than, twenty thousand in the city.
Harrison also carried Now York state
outside of the metropolis, but was
beaten by, the vote of Manhattan is
land. The Illinois city registered this
year a7o,1s3 votes. This would indicate
that Chicago has 100000 inhabitants
and New York 100000. The western
city is rapidly overtaking her older sister
and viii soon become equally important
as a political power.

THE issue against Jerry Simpson in
his late race for congress was that he
accepted a railroad pass. He was
triumphautly elected. Now the ques-
ton is, what principle won? Are We TO
understand that the voters of the dis
trict think a railroad pass a good
thing? Or did they look upon it as an
~otfense, but still condone it in view of
the fact that Jerry stood firm
against socks?

The democrats lose a senator in Gus
ter by the revised returns, but they still
have a majority of two in the senate.
Apparently they have elected a repre-.
sentative in Meagher who was conceded
to the republicans. 1t is still a ques-
ton whether the democrats have a clear
majority on joint ballot, or the balance
of power rests with the populists. Only
the official count will settle it.
