THE EDITORS SAY.
Thinks the Country's Safe with Pres
ent Democratic Inactivity.

George w. Turner in New York Recorder.
The Democratic party has been in full
control of the government for nearlv eight
months.
What has it done?
Nothing
What is it going to do?-
Nobody knows.
1t doesn't know itself.
What does il propose to do!
Nothing.
1t proposed to undo all the Republicans
did.
The tariff, the election laws the silver
laval were to be undone.
The Democrats started in to undo the
silver law first.
They have been at it two months and it
is not undone yet.
And it is not going to be undone.
And yet the country prospers and busi-
ness gets bstter every day?
Certainly.
AS long as the Democratic party does
nothing and cannot undo the things done
by the Republican party the country is
sure to prosper ard business TO go on
booming.
The reason why commercial confidence
has returned SO so Iuy are anb being taken up
again In a hopeful spirit is that in the
Senate of the United States it is plain TO
the tail of the Democratic tiger.
The situation recalls the story of the two
darkes who went out TO hunt possums
and by accident, stumbled upon q very
large cave with very small entrance.
Peeping i'm thew saw three young bears
temporarily deserted by their mother.
Look heah. Sam, while L go In dar and
gets dc young bars you just watch heah for
de ole bar.
Sam sat outside the cave, blinking in the
SUM- and shortly fell asleep. Opening his
eyes, he was startled at the sight of the
old bear squeezing her way into the cave.
Quick as a wink, he caught her by the tail
and held on like grim death.
Then came a call from the darkey within
the cave: Hello dar. Sam, what dark de
hole dar?
''Lor' bless you, Pompey. save yourself.
honey: IL dis tail comes out yo''ll soon find
what dark de hole
That is about the position at Washington
to-day. The Senator'S opposed 70 uncondi'
tionai repeal of the silver law have got
good working grip on the tail of the Demo
cratic tiger. AS long as that hold is main
tanned the contraction or the currency
cannot be put through, neither can tn:
tariff be smashed. But II the tail comes
out or the hold on ii is lost, the country
will soon find what dark de hole"

Little Damage to Shipping.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1I-Though somewhat
similar to the two great storms in August
last, the West India cyclone which visited
this region on Friday night does not seem
to have proved so disastrous. This was
largely due to the fact that the path OF
the storm center. after striking northern
Florida and Georgia, was oveland instead
Of along the coast. passing over Washing
ton, thence northwest over western Penn
sylvania and eastern. Ohio over the lakes
into southern Canada and now central
near Montreal Owing to the prostration OF
telegraph wires few reports have yet been
received At Sandy Hook the velocity of
the wind was sixty-four miles an hour.
Small accidents are reported here, but Rome
of a serious character occurred within the
city. The Western Union reports the dam
age to their wires practically as severe as
by the storms of August last. Many yachts
and small vessels were disabled or blown
ashore, but fortunately no drownings have
as yet been learned of.
The storm has subsidized in this vicinity.
but is raging furiously in the western and
northern parts OF the State. Advices
from Buffalo tonight state that the wind
is blowing there at the rate of sixty miles
an hour. Considerable damage has been
done, and several yachts are ashore, but as
far as learned no lives have been lost.

Damage I'm New England.

BOSTON. Oct. 1.-THE Southern hurri-
cane spent its force in New England be-
tween midnight and noon to-day, doing a
large amount of damage TO shipping and
wires. Nearly all Western Union telephone
and telegraph wires were laid low in the
suburbs of Boston, and for several hours
but one wire was working to New York,
while communication with points north and
west was cut off, The fishermen
of Gloucester report heavy losses. The
gale at Block island, Portland and
exposed points along the coast blew sixty
miles an hour The government telegra phi
lines between Vineyard Haven and Nam
tucket and Woods Holl are down, and no
steamers ventured across the sound to-day.
At South Boston two score of yachts and
pleasure crafts were driven ashore and sew

tails are reaching here of the extent of the

UsEL Ess RETURNS OF OONsTABLEs

AS usual all the constables came
into the court this morning to make 1t
known that there had been no viola
tons in their districts since the last
term Of court. This thing will keep
up until the next session of the legisla-
ture, but after that there should be an
end of it. This county and every
other county in the state is forced to
pay this useless expense for constable
returns at every session of criminal
court. If constables have some law
violation to report it would not be out
of place for them to come to court
and report it, and if they were only
required to come to court when they
had something to report there would
be moe lawless acts reported by con.
stables Williamsport Republican.
There is a good deal of sense in the
above. 1t is very seldom that any
body is prosecuted in this county on a
return made by constable. Occa.
sionally report is made that a road
is out of order, and the supervisors
are directed to repair it and that is the
end Of it. What is the use of paying
the expense for bringing forty consta
bles to the county seat four times a
year to report that they have nothing
TO say.

Federal Election Laws.

The Tucker bill for the repeal of
the Federal election laws reported to
the House Thursday will be debated
at once. This action was determined
upon at the meeting Of the commit
tee on election Of President and Vice
President and Representatives in
Congress Tuesday morning. The
session was comparatively brief, and
was devoted largely to consideration
of the report prepared by Mr.. Tucker
in support Of his bill.
The majority adopted the report
and would have voted to present it to
the House the next day had not the
Republican members, under the lead
of Messrs. Johnson, of North Dakota,
and Curtis, of New York, asked to be
allowed to present their views stimuli
taneously with those of the majority.
Thereupon it was voted to report the
bill Thursday, at which time the two
reports were filed
Mr., Tucker says that in the course
OF the debate there will be some in
teresting information vouchsafed the
House respecting the method of John
I. Davenport, Of New York, and the
cost Of enforcing the laws. Exact
figures, he says, cannot be secured
from the Treasury Department fol
the reason that many payments have
been made to Davenport without
vouchers but it is estimated that the
payments on account Of supervisors
and deputy marshals nave amounted
to from 81 ,ooo,oo- to $b5oo,ooo al
each Congressional election since the
laws were passed.
The Republicans will oppose the
passage of the Tucker bill to the ut
most of their power. For this debate
at least a month, according to one o.
the prominent members Of the mi
nority, will be required, and no ar
rangement that reduces this period ol
time will be accepted by them.
