THE ELECTIONS.

Although this is a so.called "o1
year" in politics, an unusual degre
OF interest conferred in the election
which took place on Tuesday last
because OF certain vital issues which
were prominent in the struggle
State elections were held in Iowa
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Missouri. Nebraska, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin
Particular interest was felt as to thu
result in New York, Massachusetts
New Jersey and Ohio, and as well re
garding the fate of Judge Gary OF the
Illinois court, for whose defeat Gov
Altgeld and his anarchistic friends
have put in large amount of work
Results show a sweeping republi.
can victory, and those who have
awaited the returns as an endorse
ment OF rebuke to the methods of the
party now in power can draw their
own conclusions.
New York state has done herself
proud. Her better elements have
been thoroughly aroused by the in
justice of Maynard's nomination and
she has dealt heavy blow to Tam
many and machine methods. Bos-
sism and corruption in New York
city and Brooklyn have been sternly
rebuked, and the entire state ticket
elected by 10000, Maynard him
self being buried under a ma
jority of $4,000. Even Brooklyn
elects its republican candidate for
mayor by 10000 to $4,000 major
ity. Grandly done, Empire state.
Massachusetts redeems herself
nobly and gives Greenhalge a plural
ity of $4,000. Her mill cities and
manufacturing centers spoke loudly,
and the net democratic loss in 26O
towns was over $4,000. The old
Bay State is herself again and
proves her loyalty to the best inter-
ests of the nation.
Ohio endorses Gov. Mckinley and
his platform by a plurality of from
$4,000 to $4,000, which, for an "off''
year, will do.
The Iowa state ticket is taken by
the republicans by majority or
plurality of 10000, retiring Gov.
Boies, who has led the opposition
forces for two terms at least.
Another great triumph was achiev-
ed in Illinois, where Gov. Altgeld's
anarchistc tendencies have been re-
buked by the election of the republi-
can judiciary ticket, including Judge
Gary, against whom the governor
has been pouring out anathemas.
In New Jersey the republicans cap
ture the legislature by large ma
jority, and here again most corrupt
methods have been denounced in an
effective manner.
In Pennsylvania majority of
100000 is indicated for the republi-
can ticket
Splendid work was also done in
Kansas, returns showing large re-
publican gains all over the state.
The democrats hold MARYLAND.
Kentucky and Virginia.
Altogether, it was a landslide
many features of which will prove
extremely gratifying to those who
believe in fair, open political methods
and frown upon senate-stealing and
organized efforts to defeat the will of
the people.
The clergy are entitled to much
credit in the defeat of the BROOKLYN
ring and the gambling, horse.racing
ring that has so long ruled New
Jersey. The preaching of the minis.
tiers was not in vain.

CLAIM JUMPING.

There is sort of claim jumping that is
little better than trying to get mans
decided property away from him, and yet
some very decent fellows are led, or mis-
led, into it by the argument that il they
do not do 1t some one else will. As we'll
rob henroost or an insecure bank on
the same theory.
The land bureau of the interior depart
ment issues regulations for the guidance
Of the local land officers, in which the
general principle is laid down that the
government encourages contests, while at
the same time these same officers are by
implication admonished to protect the set
tier in his rights.
Encouragement to contest means that
It is in the interests Of everybody that the
public domain shall be taken by actual
settlers, who are poor men, who need the
farms they are making out OF the raw ex-
panse; that it is in the interest OF nobody
for homestead or a timber culture, or a
desert claim to lie undsturbed for years,
Just because the records shows that it has
been taken by some one who has left the
country or who cares nothing about it.
Many claims in this land district have
been taken and afterwards abandoned
or neglected in this way. When the rail

The Road IA WIS are Conflicting.

The matter OF laying out, viewing and
surveying county roads was taken out OF
the hands of the county commissioners
by an act passed by the legislature,
March 0, which places it in the superior
court. A petition must now be filed With
the clerk OF the court, together with a
500 bond. The court then appoints three
disinterested persons, one OF whom may
be the county surveyor, at $3.50 day, to
help them, and when the work is finished
a report is to be made to the court. This
law went into immediate effect. On
March Is law was enacted again placing
the matter in the hands of the commits
sioners, but contained no repeating clause.
This will go into effect June Is.
Some question has arisen as to the le-
gality of the work done recently under
the first law. which has placed several
road matters in the superior court. An
other law was passed which conflicts with
some of the provisions OF both of the laws
and court decision Will probably be
necessary to straighten the matter out.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S LIQUOR LAW

The experiment about to be tried in the
the Palmetto state in the enforcement Of
her new and unique liquor law will at.
tract attention throughout the nation.
The plan is not entirely original, however,
having been attempted some forty years
ago and with poor success in Indiana,
but with more hopeful results lately in
several districts in Georgia.
The law upon the subject was enacted
at the last session OF the legislature OF
South Carolina and will go into effect on
the 10Th of July next. After that date
there will be no tipping allowed, or bar
rooms in the state.
Whisky, wine and beer will be dis
pensed or sold to customers only by bond
ed officers in the different counties in
sealed packages. ranging in quantity
from half pint to four gallons. No
package can be opened on the premises
where bought. Liquor is to be sold to
the citizen simply on his written request
therefor, stating quantity desired. The
law prohibits the sale of liquor to minors,
or drunkards. The local officers obtain
liquors from state commissioner, who
purchases all the liquors of the state and
puts them into sealed packages for dis
tribution. As this is being done, how
ever, the liquors are carefully analysed
by the state chemist who stamps each
package with statement OF its purity
and it is made unlawful to sell package
without his certificate attached.
Local option is provided for in this
novel law, which requires majority OF
the freehold voters to sign petition re-
questing the appointment OF local sales
man before one can be named.
The duties OF the commissioner are
clearly defined and mis- acts are closely
guarded to prevent fra nd or collision be-
tween him and the wholesale dealers
from whom he buys. Violations OF the
law are punishable with heavy penalties.
Governor Tillman estimates that the
measure will be asource of great revenue
to the state and that in few years il
will reduce taxation one-half. The max
imum profit allowed under the law is SO
per cent. to the state and so per cent. at
the local dispensary, one-half of which
goes into the county treasury and the
other half into the treasury of the muni-
cipality. OF course the practical results
of the law so far as they effect the revenue,
state, municipal, or the public welfare in
other respects cannot be predicted with
much confidence.
Moralists anxious to curtail, or sup
press, the liquor traffic, and Legislators
who are students Of revenue systems will
watch the working of this unusual Law
with the intensest interest. Many pro-
visions OF the act will doubtless be con-
tested and the construction put upon
them by the courts as we'll as the actual
workings OF the law will suggest many
changes. In the struggle which is to en-
sue few will be surprised should John
Barleycorn knock out, as usual. his old
antagonist, the law.

road was building, dozens OF workmen
who conceived the notion that 1t would
be we'll to have farm in 30 beautiful a
valley, made filings and moved on to
other jobs unmindiul Of the claim and
the passing fancy that led them to take
it. Here is the proper field for the con-
testant or, as he is known in western
parlance, the "Land jumper"
The encouraging OF contests does not
mean that either the general government
or any decent individual wants to see a
mans claim wrested from him when the
claimant is doing all he possibly can in
this dry country TO comply with the law
In this country the work of ditch
building is often slow and disappointing,
and the best one can do is to "hold-
down" claim while getting the water
upon 1t, and meanwhile get bread for
himself and family out Of the most con-
venient work he can turn his hand to-
perhaps some already watered lard he
can hire. How well we all understand
this situation! and vet there is streak
of avarice and greed that leads some to
rob their neighbors, or to try to do so,
just because they think there is a loop
hole through which they can.
There is, too, generally some pestilential
fellow In every neighbohood who makes
a business OF watching his neighbors and
"peaching" on their failures-their COM
ings and goings-while hanging on to
his own claim by the Skin OF his teeth"
The desire to tar and feather said pesti-
Iential fellow ought to be controlled il pos
sible.
All land in this county that is now OF
may be watered is very valuable, and
good land is scarce in ratio with the
worlds population. Still, these facts
ought not to bring about a system OF
stealing under another name. twill never
become popular. and will get to be more
despicable as time goes on.
The fertile territory OF Oklahoma is
cursed with this sort OF land robbery. 1t
ought never to get foothold in this
peaceful valley, even though the land is
tempting and scurvy fellow now and
then whispers his satanic advice to jump
a neighbours claim.

only short time solitary and alone,
for every passing bird of its kind will hy
down and keep it company, until a

house keeps the best and most popular
sultlngs and trimmings. a scientific
measurer and cutter, and gentleman
of exceedingly fine taste. He not only
pleases all those who are dealing with
him at the time, but every suit sent out

that it acts as the very best ADVERTISED

the novelties which we noticed in this
attractively arranged store, we might
mention the English goods, kerr

of American piece goods in all the vari-

WATERFOWL STEAM LAUNDRY
Z MAIN STREET.

Laundries in cities of this size have
become modern necessity, and not to
be out-done in this important particu-
lar in being foremost in all that adds
to the convenience and benefit of citi-
zens, this city has one of the most
complete establishments Of its kind to
be found anywhere. AS in many other
lines of business enterprises, however,
it often happens that laundries are not
fully equipped, and are often placed
in the hands of persons who do not
fully understand the business. For
tunately this cannot be said of Water
town for it has at least one laundry in
its midst which possesses all the re-
quirements necessary for conducting
the business. This is found in the
Watertown Steam Laundry. Mr. Ru-
EEK is enterprising and quick to adopt
every new mode to facilitate the bust
ness and leaves no stone unturned to
raise the industry to the highest place
among similar enterprises, and to hold
that position on it's merits. The prem
Uses are supplied with the latest and
most improved machinery and appli-
ances and only the most skilled assist
ants are employed. The greatest care
is taken in the handling of goods, par
ticularly light fabrics, such as laces,
lace curtains, fine skirts, collars, cuffs.
etc. Soiled goods are collected in all
parts of the city, washed and delivered
with promptness and satisfaction guar
anteed. Our readers can do no better
than to patronize this reliable estab-
lishment.
