In the Vermont election last week the
Republicans loss, says the New York
World, as compared with the vote Of that
party at the September election in the
Presidential year of lSSS, was 9,61s, or
a trile more than 90 per cent. The
Democratic loss was 341, or about ] per
cent, For convenience in reckoning we
will call it per cent. which is more
favorable to the Republicans than the
truth is.
Do Democrats. or Republicans either,
apprehend the iull significance OF this
showing?
The people of Vermont are as con-
servative and steady in their political
action as those of any state III the
Union. They are mostly farmers. The
same causes that swerve them will be
apt to swerve the Republicans Of all the
agricultural States.
But Vermont has its fair proportion of
industries especially favored by the
tariff. and Senator MOrill has taken
care that they are not neglected IN the
| distribution of largess. The campaign
was conducted by the Republicans al
most entirely on the tariff issue and as
a national election. These conditions
lend weight to the statements following;
Reckoning the changes in relative
strength of the great parties since l6Se
by the ratios of the result in Vermont
In New York the Democrats woulC
have a plurality of over 100, 900.
In Massachusetts Harrison's plurality
of 80, ,O37 would be wiped out and the
Democrats would have plurality o
over l, 700.
In Illinois the Republican plurality o
%, 1S5 would be changed to a Demo
cratic plurality of rs, 935.
In Iowa the Republican plurality O
III would disappear and CLEVELAND
would get a plurality of 5000
In Ohio the Democrat plurality woul'
be 90, ,6S3.
In Michigan the Democrats woul'
win 10y over 20, 900.
In Wisconsin Cleveland would hav
a plurality of 10, $50 over Harrison.
In California the Democratic plurali
ty would be over Is, 800.
The states which would be left to tn
Republicans of those which voted il

Rhode Island, Kansas, Minnesota Ne

THE first Republican guns in Yer
mont and Maine kicked backward awful
hard. The thieving tariff that robs one
class of people for the benefit of another
is a bitter pill for voters to swallow who
are not getting share of the spoils.
The farmers all over the country are get
ting their eyes open to the fact that they
have been paying the piper while the
other fellows are doing the dancing.

WHEN there is a reduction in wages
the Republican organs are loud in pro-
claiming that the tariff has nothing to
do with the wages. But let wages go up
from some cause or another or if there
happens to he good crops in this country
and bad crops in Europe, with one &C.
cord all the blessings are at ence laid to
the door of protection.

IT is a great mistake to suppose that
high tariff duties are productive of in
creasing revenues. On the contrary du-
ties can be levied so high as to absolute
ly prohibit foreign importations, conse-
quently the Government receives no
revenue from such sources. A tariff
for revenue, fairly laid without any just
discrimination, is the only true policy
for our Government. This is the posi-
ton of the Democratic party on the
tariff question and it is a sound one.

IT looks as if Senator Quay, of this
state and Ex-senator Platt, of New York,
were about correct when they said before
the nomination of Harrison at Mime
apolis. that if Harrison was nominated
he could not be elected. The elections
in Vermont and Maine point unerringly
to the same conclusion.

President HARRISON didn't saw ar

PRESIDENT HARRISON didn't say any
thing about civil service reform in his
letter of acceptance, probably because he
thought that after his packing the Min
neapolis convention with his oflice-hold-
ers any allusion he might make to civil
service reform would be taken by the
people as a joke, and he doubted the
propriety of introducing humorous mat
ter in document of such serious i'm

Ventilation of Bee Cellars.

The amount of air needed by bees va
ries greatly according to circumstances.
When they are excited and full of honey,
rs is the case with working swarm, the
amount Of air needed Is very great. If
they can be kept quiet, a very little air
will suffice. In winter bees are in Il semi
dormant state, and the amount of air
necessary for their maintenance Is very
slight. Special ventilation, simply for
the sake of securing fresher or purer air,
seems to be almost unnecessary. The
few beekeepers who plead for special
ventilation do 50 almost wholly upon
the ground that they can thereby more
readily control the temperature
! Ii the bee repositories are built sufli-
cieutly underground it does not seem a.
though ventilation would be very much
needed for controlling temperature.
/ When bees settle down into that quies-
cent state essential for successful winter
! ing, their need Of air Is very Slight in
/ deed. When their winter nap Is ended,
and spring arouses them to activity and
to brood rearing. more air Is needed.
| 1t Is then, If ever, that special ventila-
/ ton Is Il benefit; but as all that is needed

CoDrress man at Large

Two copgressmen at large are 10 be
chosen at the next general election, and
the friends of Hon. L l.. Conkrite, OF
this city, are urging him to become
candidate for the democratic nomination
for one OF them. They believe that his
long experience in the legislature would
make him q valuable representative Oh
the state in congress. Dir. Conkrite was
a member of the twenty eighth, twenty
ninth, thirtieth. thirty second, thirty
third and thirty fourth general Assem-
blies and was chairman of the approprl
alton com mittee when the house was
democratic, in which capacity he render
ed valuable service TO the tax payers. He
was also the democratic nominee Tor
speaker and was leader OF that side OF the
house for number Of years. Should he
decide to become a candidate hr. Cronk-
rite would receive strong support from sll
sections of Illinois Moreover Stevenson
county being the only democratic county
in northern Illinois, outside of CooS,
seems entitled to representation upon the
state ticket -Freeport Bulletin.
TEE ARGUS heartily endorses every
thing the Bulletin says above regarding
Dir. CIorkrite. For the past 20 years he
has been prominently identified with the
democracy of the state, and it is largely
owing to the labor of such stslwsrt dem
oorsts ss he, that the former large repuo-
Icsn majority in northern Illinois has
been growing beautifully less in recent
years. As the Bulletin says, Stephenson
county is the only democratic county in
the northern tier, and is justly entitled to
representation on the state ticket. end il
is eminently proper that it's candidate
should be chosen from among its fore
most democrats.

Costly Tin Mining.

A great many dispatches have been
sent to Republican papers lately from
the Temescal tin mines relative to the
extraordinary development going on
there as Il consequence of Major McKin-
ley's bill. The last of these stated that
the force of miners had been increased
by thirty men, that the output of tin was
from three to -four tons Il day. and that
SlS,500 worth was shipped on saturday
Il week ago TO ST Louis. \ correspond
eDt saw IL workman Just from the mines
who made the following statement,
which he says cannot be coutradicted:
LAS to men and labOrers, the number
has been decreased in the way Of Amer
leans III the following manner: An offer
was given party Of miners, say from
three to six men, to sink shaft at TWEEN
ty dollars foot, which was declined for
the reason that about $50 would be all
the contractors could make. in addition
to being wet through continually. They
were told if they cid not take that con-
tract there was nothing else for them
The particular party | refer to consisted
of four American citizens, and Of course
they had to leave, and their places were
at once occupied by new arrivals from
Cornwall, who were put to work III the
shaft at six hour shifts, for which they
received three dollars a shift.
Now, as to the output for August, it
was 80 tons; for September, tons;
October, g tons, and previously. under
l.. N. Robinson's management, about
tons, or % tons in all For November
nothing has been produced, the furnace
having burned itself out, and the repair
ing of it was only finished last week,
consequently we viii say that Sll 900
worth of block tin has been sold at the
rate of $500 per ton AS to 3 or tons
of block tin being the output daily, that
is nothing but bosh, from the simple fact
that the appliances cannot handle more
than ton per twenty-four hours. As
b 3G tons having been sent to st. Louis
that is one and one lalf times more than
they have smelted since the mills started

partments, and one was treated to ordi-
nary conditions-sunlight by day and
darkness by highland the other sun
light by day and electric light by night
In this house numerous experiments
were made to note the effect of the cleo
trio light on plant growth.
In report made in the American
Garden, to which thanks are due for the
cuts here presented, it is told that the
general effect of the naked electric light
was to greatly hasten maturity, and the
nearer the plants grew to the light the
greater the acceleration. This tendency
was particularly marked in the leaf
plants-endive, spinach, cress and let
tuce, The plants iran to seed" before

within seven feet lGrown with naked cleo
of the lamp. URIC nsht'I
These and similar experiments justified
the conclusions that while the naked
electric light has damaging influence
upon the plants near it, electric light
promotes assimilation; it often hastens
growth and maturity; it is capable of
producing natural fiavors and colors in
fruits; II often intensifeS colors of flow
srs and sometimes increases the produc-
ton Of flowers, and that periods of dark
ness are not necessary to the growth and
development Of plants. Professor Bailey
believes it is only necessary to overcon 8
the difficulties, the chief of which are
the injurious influences upon plants near
the light; the too rapid fastening OF
maturity in some; and, in short, the
whole series of practical adjustments of
conditions to individual circumstances
to render electro horticulture success.
Deheraln, a French experimenter, says
that the injurious rays from the electric
j light are greatly modified by trans
parent glass. Professor Baileys expert
ments with an electric lamp, protected
by an ordinary white opal globe, gave
results much less marked than that of
the naked light; in a word, the injuri-
Gus effects We're lessened by the use of the
globe. Lettuce was greatly benefited
I by the electric lights.

In view of this situation it is not
uncommon to hear men predict that
the next house will be Republican.
This does not come from the ordi-
nary political alarmist alone, but
from men of experience and judg-

watched national politics and have
occupied positions where they could
estimate situations, closely observing
cause and effect, are not slow to ven
