A Sensible Republican View.

The most philosophic, sensible
view we have seen on the result
of Tuesdays election is that taken
by the st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
the leading Republican paper of the
southwest. THE chief causes of
the Republican defeat" the Globe
Democrat says, "were Mr.. Cleve-
lands popularity with the business
men Of the principal industrial
States, the hostility of the organized
labor element of the country to
Whitelaw Reid, and the prejudice
of large class of the people against
the Mckinley tariff law" After
charging somewhat OH the record
which Mr.. Cleveland made for him
self during his presidency as "a safe
man OH all financial questions"
and considering at some length the
"hlunder for which 10 excuse can
be made" in nominating White
law Reid for the vice-presidency, the
Globe-Democrat closes as follows:
But the principal cause of the
Republican setback was the tariff.
There are good points in the McKin-
ley bill, like the removal of the duty
on sugar and the section which has
brought about reciprocity with
many of the Central and South
American countries. These have
strengthened the party almost ev-
erywhere without hurting it any
where. But on the other hand
there are provisions in the law
which have seriously hurt the party
in most of the States outside Of the
old slave section, but especially in
the agricultural States. These are
the provisions advancing the rates
of duties. 1t was blunder to in
crease the duties on anything, as
this journal pointed out at the time.
No impost, in the present condition
of our industries and trade, should
be increased under any circum-
stances. When a duty is touched
it ought to be reduced. Tariff re-
vision, to be acceptable to the coun-
try, must be downward and never
upward. That is what western
Republicans understand by tariff
revision. 1t is what they looked
for in 1890. Not getting it they
withdrew their support from the
party for the time, and the party
was beaten. The defeat of 1890
has been supplemented by more
sweeping and significant disaster in
1892, and for the same cause, among
others. There are perhaps fewer
objections to the Mckinley law
now than suggested themselves two
years ago, which had been expect
ed, but it is not the sort Of law that
the masses Of the Republican want,
and while it is in force there can
come no victories for the Republic
can party.

One Way to get Good Roads.

Each year, within the United
States, there are convicted for vari-
Gus offenses against the public peace
about 100000 male prisoners of ma
ture age. These prisoners are COM
monty confined in the State prisons
and common jails, and during the
term of their punishment are large
ly sustained and clothed at the pub
lie expense. This expense alone
entails an enormous tax, of which
property in all localities must share
the burden, and a most serious ques-
ton has for many years been dis
cussed touching the manner in
which these convicts can be en-
ployed without competing with the
skilled labor Of our free citizens.
No solution has yet been reached
which seems to meet the case. La
Dor organizations have repeatedly
demanded that these convicts be
made to earn their own sustenance
by the performance of public work,
and notably that of constructing
and maintaining the public roads.
Such labor has been utilized in
other countries to the great advan-
tage of the public, and it offers such
an apparent double advantage in
the reduction of the public tax and
the solution of the convict labor
question that it is well worthy of a
thorough trial. But besides the
regularly convicted criminals there
is an immense vagrant population
comprised mostly of able-bodied
men, drifting about from one part
of the country to another, and com.
monty called 'tramps." They have
largely increased in numbers during
the last few years, and have become
one of the social problems of thu
day. 1t is not unlikely that if al
the tramps in given town were
compelled by law to do a little worl
now and then upon the public roads
and thus pay tribute to the public
that clothes and feeds them, the
growth of this species of lazy vag.
rancy would be considerably check

ton is one of the most remarkable
freaks of nature in the State Of
Kentucky, the great cayerns alone
excepted. In therear of the grounds
attached to the home of the late
Gov. Gilmer is a huge bowlder,
standing alone on the edge of "A
stream. Resting directly upon this
bowlder is another weighing at least
twenty tons. This upper bowlder
rests upon stonepinnacle not more
than two feet square, and so evenly
balanced that (although the slight
est touch will cause it TO rock to and
fro) ahundred horses could not pull
it from the socket. Biologists say
that it must have been deposited in
its present position in the time of
the glacial epoch, and that the text
ure and composition of the bowlder
argue in favor of the theory that it
was transported from the Lake
Superior region to its present
resting place in good field

Cleveland has 267 EleC-
tOral Votes.
The Southern States and New York,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, New
Jersey, Connecticut and part
of Michigan for Reform.
Both Houses of Congress Democratic.
The Mckinley Bill the Weapon that
Slew the Republican Party.

AS we went to press last Wednes-
day morning it was known that the
southern States, together with New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
had gone Democratic and Cleveland's
election was assured.
The next day the news was still
better, and Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin had declared for Cleve-
land and lower taxation. To make
matters still more gloomy for the
high tax party, the returns showed
that there was good prospects of
Ohio, California and other States be-
ing transferred to the Democratic
column. In Ohio the Republicans
lost so heavily that the official vote
will be necessary to decide the re-
suit, and if the Republicans carry
that State it will be by only few
hundred plurality. The last cleo
ton proved a tidal wave of disaster
to the Republicans, and it was the
Mckinley and Force bills that did
it.
The victory is much better than
expected by the Democrats, and it
is no wonder they feel pleased at the
result. The gain of the Presidency
and both houses of Congress is a
great victory of the people over
monopoly and high taxism.
The Peoples party have also cap
tured several. States, including the
once banner Republican State of
Kansas,
The force bill has been buried SO
deep that we do not believe it will
again be resurrected. The people
are capable of managing their own
local elections, and do not want
government officials interfering.

mated to be us follows: Democra-
tic, A; Republican, 40; People, T..
As the Democrats have the Vice
President, as president of the Senate,
they have thus a majority over the
Republicans and Peoples party.
The Democratic plurality in New
York city is IA, 480, and Cleveland's
plurality in the State of Vow York
is about 10000.
The official return of the votes
cast i'm Delaware is Cleveland, 49,
573; Harrison, 1907.
Indiana gives about 5000 plural
ity for Cleveland.
Gov. Russell, Democrat, is elect
ed governor in Massachusetts by
2,037 plurality.
The next House of Representa-
tives will have about 100 Demo-
cratic majority, and it is probable
the Senate will also be Democratic.
In this country the people do not
vote direct for President. They
vote for presidential electors, and the
party that elects a majority of the
presidential electors has the choos-
ing of IL President and Vice-Presi~
den of the United States. Each
State is allotted one presidential
elector for each Congressman and
the US. Senators it has. The total
electors is 444, and 223 constitutes a
majority. The Democrats have
elected, beyond all doubt, 267, which
gives them Al more than enough to
elect Grover Cleveland for Presi.
dent and Adlai E. Stevenson foi
Vice-President. The Democrats
have a chance of receiving the votes
of the doubtful States. The fol.
lowing will show the States carried
by the various parties, and those in
doubt, according to the latest dis.

Pulp Wood in New York.

From the annual report of the
New York State Forest Commission
we extract the following:
The manufacture of paper from
wood is comparatively new in
dustry in this country. It's rapid
development, and the consequent
increase in the consumption of
valuable forest products, demands
the attention of everyone interested
in American forestry. The intro
duction of wood pulp was regarded
with satisfaction by students of the
forestry question, because they saw
in its use market for certain small
sized timber, the sale of which is
necessary to an economic forestry
management. The successful pc
cuniary results obtained in the
management of European forests
are due largely to the fact that
there is market for everything that
is left after cutting the large-sized
timber; and, so, the advent of the
wood pulp industry encouraged our
forestry people to believe that oper-
atoms in interlucation could now
be carried on, as the sale of the
Trimmings would cover the expense.
But the consumption Of timber
by the pulp mills has increased so

Losses in Wheat and Cotton

Sufficient returns have been re-
ceived to enable the American Agri-
culturist to make an approximate
estimate of the wheat crop of 1892,
and it puts it down at 405,000,000
bushels. This is falling off of Ill.,
100000 bushels from the crop of
last year (612, 100000 bushels), and
this decrease in the quantity raised
docs not tell the whole story. In
stead of the falling off being attended
by higher prices it has actually been
attended by lower prices. On October
20 of last year No. 2 red wheat was
quoted in st. Louis at 90 cents a
bushel, and OH October 20 of the
present year at 65 cents-a decline
of "a cents.
Here, then, is a falling off of Ill.,
100000 bushels in the size of the
crop and of "a cents a bushels in
the price. Last years crop (612,-
100000 bushels) at last years
October price, % cents, was worth
to our wheat raisers $563,OOO,OOO
and this years crop (405,O0O,O00
bushels) at this years October
price, 65 cents, is worth only $321,-
100000 loss of $241 100000.
And this on a single staple in one
year.
And when we look down South
the cotton raisers are in a similar
predicament. The cotton crop of
last year was 100000 bales, which,
at the August price in 1891, was
worth $50 bale, or S435,000,000
for the crop. But the Agriculturist
estimate the crop of 1892 at only
100000 bales, which at the Au-
gust price in 1892 is worth only
$50 "a bale, or 1927, 100000 for the
crop-a falling off of 100000.
Add this to the wheat loss and we
have a loss of $44S,0O0,0OO, with
only two staples heard from.
How rich we are growing under
the Mckinley policy, particularly
the wheat raisers Of the West and
the cotton raisers of the South
st. Louis Republic.
