The knowledge that the Republicans
might have saved the Senate of New
York had they exercised reasonable pru-
dence before the election does not make
the situation more agreeable to them.
One of the senatorial districts lost
was lost simply because the man
they nominated for Senator was ineligi-
BILE under the State constitution, fact
they might have known had they been as
careful as twas their duty to be. Anoth-
er district was lost through the blunder-
ing of the ballot clerk in distributing the
ballots. If the effect of this disaster is
to prevent laundering in the future it
viii be productive of some good.

The refusal of Gov. Russell to pardon

The refusal of Gov. Russell to pardon
Dunlap, the Northampton bank robber,
does the governor credit. Dunlap was a
professional burglar who made bank
robbery business. 1t was not case
where man had fallen victim to sud-
den temptation, but a case where man
had entered deliberately upon career
of crime for the profit that he could
make out of it. The chief argument
for his pardon is that he used his in
fuence TO secure a restoration of part
of the plumber. But this is no argument
at ALL Every thief after he is caught is
ready to make restoration to escape
punishment or to make it lighter. A
criminal hardly gets locked up in prison
nowadays before some band Of sente-
mentalists begins to agitate for his par
don.

ONE Of the marvels Of modern COM
merce is the transportation Of 80 bulky
an article as shingles by rail two thou
sand miles or more from the forests Of the
Puget sound basin to the cities and towns
Of the Mississippi valley and their sale in
competition with the shingles produced
at the near mills in the Wisconsin and
Minnesota pineries. Going down the
James River Valley railroad in North
Dakota last month on mixed train
said to the conductor that the thirty box
cars be had in front Of the passenger end
of his train were probably "empties" to
be distributed at the elevators along the
line to load with wheat. "Oh, no." he
replied, "tLey are all loaded with cedar
shingles from Washington and there are
three hundred more cars in the James
town yard loaded with the same mater
ial." ''But where in the world are they
all going TOT" 1--WE turn them over to the
Northwestern at Cakes and that road
hauls them to Omaha. Sioux City and
other points in Iowa, South Dakota and
Kansas" There is nothing so cheap as
rail transportation, yet people are all the
time kicking about it. Those shingles
were hauled fully two thousand miles for
the price that farmer would charge for
hauling them in his wagon ten or fifteen
miIes.-Northwes Magazine.

October was the eighth month of the so
called "year of Romulus," but became the
tenth when according to tradition) Numa
changed the commencement of the year to
the LIST Of January. October preserved its
ancient name, notwithstanding the at
tempts made by the Roman senate and the
emperors Commod6Y, and Domitian, who
substituted for tineths terms Faustinus,
Invictus. Domitianus. Many Roman and
Greek festivals fell to be celebrated in this
month, the most remarkable Of which was
the sacrifice at Rome of horse (Which was
called October) to the god Mars. The
name is from the Latin octo, eight. Among
the Saxons it was styled Wyn-monath, or
the wine month

The Republicans are forced to End
consolation in the completeness Of the
Democratic national victory. II will,
they say, place the entire responsibility
Of the government Of the country for the
next f0nr years upon the Democrats. No
Democrat has yet been found who feels
any regret over the victory, or who is MOI
willing to take everything he can get.
Just to keep things moving along and
furnish little more Republican consoIa-
ton, both Arizona and New Mexico will
doubtless soon be made states, and foul
more Democratic senators added to the
United States senate.
