world has much still to learn about
lighting and transportation problems.
50 it has much to settle regarding

Identifying prisoners. the humanitarian
and reformatory methods OF some Of
our warehouses;. and the commenda-
Bile scheme Of Captain Nicholson and
others for releasing young transgres-

Capt. James b. Mix, of Scott's 900
9th y. Y. Cav.), has become insane.
A long time ago his best friends pre-
dicted this as the result of the Captain
reckless manner of living. Away back
in the sixties Capt. Mix was a protege
of Horace Greeley, who made him the
leading reporter on the New York
Tribune. He was q space writer on
that paper when Amos ]. Cummings.
now a member of Congress, was the
city editor. He made a great deal OF
money, but spent it reclxlessly. Capt.
Mix was very handsome man. with
pleasing manners. At the outbreak OF
the war lie was appointed Captain
in the Presidents troop, which
9fterward became part of Scotts 900,
or Eleventh n. " cavalry. His dissipa.
tions caused him to lose his command.
and he went to New York, where he
attracted attention by his extrava-
gance of dress and wild life. Mime.
Sanchez fell in love with him, and he
married her. which divorced him from
such friends as he had hitherto held.
Nine. Sanchez died shortly after the
marriage, leaving Mix heir to about
s5O0,000 He has squandered the in
come but has kept the principle intact.
He is to-day guarded by servants. He
has no loved ones. No one knows his
ancestry. He is rich in money, but poor
in friends. Those who knew him best
in the old days don't know to-day
where he makes his home.

RESULT.

The result Of Tuesdays election
is now no longer in doubt. The
Democratic victory is decisive and
complete.
If it means anything, it means that
the Democratic party is endorsed in
its position for the free coinage Of
silver, for tariff reform and for the
abolition of the 10 per cent. tax on
State banks. These were the lead
ing issues of the campaign ; the battle
was fought upon them. No person
alities, not a word against Harrison's
character or Clcveland's name was
heard during the campaign. 1t was
q campaign upon issues and these
issues have been decided in favor of
the Democratic party. We natur.
ally concluded that the people favor
the principles advocated by the
Democratic party. That they have
the powers to pass whatever legisla-
lion they may advocate, is n of
the pleasing features to a Republic
can in this great disaster.
For the first time in 80 years they
have entire and complete control Of
the Federal Government. They have
the Presidency, the Senate and the
National House of Congress. They
will no longer have the excuse that
has been their stock in trade for these
many years, that a Republican Sen.
ate has stood in their way. They
must face the issues and bear the re-
suits.
The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1892-11-17

that their majority is only half as
large as it was in 1890. or course,
it may be argued that that was an off
year, and this being a Pre- sidential
year, the victory is greater, and per-
haps this view of the case may be
correct, but there is one thing re-
garding which the country can con-
graduate itself, and that is that every
trick and every measure proposed by
the winning party will be fully ven
tilated by the Republicans in con-
gross. They have members enough
to impress their work upon the law
making power Of the lower house,
and it will be felt.
