The popu,ists Badly Beaten.

TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 9-Additional re-
turns from Tuesdays election swell the
Republicans pluralities, and the Pop
ulsts, so hopeful yesterday, concede that
they have been badly defeated. Sufi-
cient returns are received to warrant the
Republicans clsim of large plurality
of the aggregate vote, and it WI prob
ably appear the victory is really mas
iority over both Populists and Demo-
Gratis. Of the 13 judges elected, pop
ulist Chairman Brledenthal claims cnly
8, with possibility of 2 more. At the
Republican headquarters the following
summary is made. Republican counties
45; Populst counties, s; divided, 25; to
be heard from, 81. Republican officers
elected'ln divided counties, 105. Pop
ulists in same, SO.

OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE

This is an off year in state politics.
Ouly thirteen out of the forty four
states will held state elections-Iowa,
Nebraska, Kentucky, Maryland, Mass
achusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Da-
kota, Virginia and Wisconsin. Of
these, but fve-Iowa, Massachusetts,
Ohio, Wisconsin and Virginia, will
elect full tickets. Eight choose judges
or legislatures, and three of the legis-
latures to be chosen will elect United
States senators-Iowa, Kentucky and
Virginia. An exchange says: "The
greatest political interest has undoubt-
edly settled in Ohio, where the contest
is made up principally of the tariff is
sue. After Ohio, the elections in Iowa,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Virginia
are next of interest. In these states
the contest for the state ticket will be
very close, and politicians will watch
the returns with great interest. :"
While there may be a peculiar interest
in the states mentioned, yet all cleo
tlons this year will be of more than
usual significance. Since the inaugu-
ration of Mr.. Cleveland the Democ-
racy has assumed complete control of
national affairs, and, whether as con-
sequence or coincidence, the country
has suffered the most deplorable fnan-
cisl distress. Banks have Suspended,
factories have closed, and hundreds of
thousands Of wage earners been thrown
out of employmen The only way in
which the people in this country ex-
PRESS their confidence in the policy
adopted by any party is at the ballot
box, aud a verdict may be expected
to- morrow on the desirableness of the
Chicago platform as national text
book. In this regard, the ballot may
he Indicative of the fact whether the
electors of the United States believe
the change in the administration
caused the recent depression in trade
or should he credited to other condi-
tions. We are sorry that only por-
ton of the stetes give expression to
the popular will Tomorrow, and earn
estIy desire that it would comprehend
the entire nation, and that every voter
from Maine to California and from
Minnesota to Texas would unequivo-
cslly express his approval or disap-
proval of Democratic methods.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 6.-Goyernor
George W. Peck, Attoruer. General J. l..
O'Connor, Assistant Attorney General
]. M. Clancy and Colonel Clarence L.
Clark were made defendants to-day in a
suit brought by Tracy, Gibbs & Co. a
job printing firm of this city, to recover
$500, which is part of large sum of
money alleged to have been advanced
last summer to enable the Madison
Times to execute an order for printing an
addition of the roster of the Wisconsin
soldiers especially given to it by the
governor. The Madison Democrat, tue
regular state printer, compelled the gov
ernor to cancel the order, but the money
was already swallowed up. The suit is
brought against the defendants on the
theory that they were all interested di-
rectly or indirectly IN the Times. The
suit caused political sensation.

THE LESSON TAUGHT.

Several reasons will be assigned for
the recent Republican victory by the
disappointed Democrats. That Ohio
should give Mr.. Mckinley good ma.
jority is no surprise to any one; but
that this should swell until it reached
nearly 100000 is a matter of aston
ishment to all. Mr.. Boies, of Iowa,
vas one of the most popular men in
the state, and his defeat Is matter of
astonishment to the nation. The same
is true of Mr.. Russell In Massachu-
setts, we're the mugwumps and Dem
ecrats have combined for years to de-
feat the Republican ticket. New
York, under the management of that
school of politicians, Tammany hall,
with president in the White House,
and David B. Hill in harmony with
party methods, was considered solidly
Democratic; but the result Tuesday
proved all previous calculations falla-
cious. Then comes New jersey
wheeling into line also. and some of
the hitherto Populist western states.
1t is more than victory; it is total
rout of the Democratic party in their
own stron9holds. Of course, elections
following national ones are usually re-
dictionary; but never in the history of
the country has there been such sud-
den change in popular feeling in less
than year, that party very trium-
phant in presidential canvass has
been so overwhelmingly defeated
few months after at the ballot-box.
There was an object to be accomplished
and lesson to be taught, and by
studying conditions and circumstances
these may be readily learned. From
every forum ia the country Demo-
cratic orators heralded forth last year
that change in the economic policy
of the nation was necessary, and the
toilers were willing to make the trial.
Democracy was victorious, and the
shadow of free trade fell on every in
dustry in the country. Capitalists
withdrew their investments, factories
shut down and manufacturing indus
tries stood still. A vast army of
wage-earners were thrown out of en-
ployment, business of all kinds be-
came depressed, and want and starva-
tion we're the let of many. Election
day came again last Tuesday, and those
who had voted for Cleveland and the
Chicago platform last November re-
allied the great mistake they had
made and were eager to make repara-
tion for the evils they had inflicted Oh
the nation. This is the reason Of the

worse and More Of it.

TRENTON, Nov. 9-As the completed
returns are filed the Republican victory
grows in magnitude. The next assem-
bly, will be Republican by two-thlrds
vote, the senate will have II Republicans
and 10 Democrats. In 18 of 81 coun ties
in the state the Republican and anti
racetrack sheriffs are elected. A Repub-
licsn successor to United States Senator
Mcpherson will be elected by the new
legislature.

PRINTED WORDS.

The verdict of trial jury in Port.
land finding two of the publishers OF
the Mercury guilty of libel defines the
boundaries of that style of journalism,
and there are limits to public criticism
in other matters which may be as
clearly marked. There is no denying
the fact that the modern Archimedean
lever which moves the world is the
newspaper, and this is great power
for good or evil, as the editor or man-
ager may feel inclined. From The con-
sideration of their great influence the
controllers of newspapers should be
held responsible to the community for
the manner in which it is exerted.
Spoken words soon pass from the
memory, but published sentences live
on and on forever, often accomplishing
their greatest benefit or evil after the
author has "molded away and joined
his kindred dust" The sermon of the
preacher or the speech of the lawyer
may thrill for a moment; but they
have no lasting effect until reduced to
printed language, and then become in
a certain measure immortal = Inde-
structible. A few hundred listeners,
many of whom are inattentive and
simply attend because of the crowd
who are present, is the audience to
whom the great legal lights display
their eloquence, and pour forth their
burning words; while the most insig-
nificant editor of the country weekly
writes for ten times that number, and
his words are criticised by old and
young and all classes and conditions of
mankind. The utterances of tha one
may be forgotten in an hour, but the
language of the other will withstand
the ravages of time, and may be repro
duced a hundred times and thus be ln-
dissolubly linked with all coming
time. With the orator of the forum
it is the enthusiasm of the passing
moment he courts, which may scintil-
late very brilliantly for an instant and
then pass into the shadows of the for
getfulness of oblivion. But the writer
looks to the generations yet unborn,
and Intimately allies himself with the
future, which should be ever presenG
to his conscience. For these reasons
the publishers Of public prints are held
to a great responsibility, and the per-
feet freedom of the press might jeo-
pardize the best interests of the com
munity. The editor and publisher
should thoroughly understand the
great power which he wIelds, and
should lie clrcumspect and conscient-
ious III the manner in which it is
used.

SALEM, Nov. THE household OF Mr..

wa. is in mourning. Today their 12-
year .old son, Roy, was found dead in the
workshop, situated about $50 feet from
their residence, with bullet hole through
his head. The discovery was made about
2P M, and from the appearance of the
body it is presumed that death came In
stantly. The ball entered the left side
of the face below the temple, coming out
at the top Of the head. The weapon be-
longed to his mother, and was supposed
to have been hid under bed, and just
when the boy found it cannot be con-
jectured.

THE HARVEST MOON.

~ Il T.
The full moon on September 70,
next Monday is known as the "Har-
vest Moon.'' In Great Britain Septem-
beris the harvest MONTH and thefull
moon of September is so called from
that fact. The popularity Of this full
moon Is that it rises several nights at
the same hour instesa Of an hour or
more latter each night. In the higher
latitude Of Great Britain the phenom-
enon is much more striking. At the
equator there is no difference between
this and other full moons. The har-
vest mocn is due to the fact that at
the time OF the autumnal equinox the
full moon, which is necessarily oppo-
site the sun, is in that part Of its Or
bit which makes the least possible an
gle with the eastern horizon at the
point where the moon rises. In
consequence there is an unusual pro-
portion Of moonlight during Septem-
her. On the 25th inst the moon will
rise at OF near sunset, 5.5l o'clock, on
the Goth at 6.23, and at $50 on the
