The Worship of Ugliness.

The worship of ugliness in material
things explains a great deal in shop win
dows that would otherwise be puzzling.
Hundreds of tasteless so called art OBJ
jects are displayed, because it has been
discovered that they will sell. One of
the richest shops in New York, and in
deed in all the world, includes, among
a multitude Of beautiful things. many
large and costly objects that, tried by
any known canons Of taste, are ugly.
The statesmen who have these things in
charge apologize for them to persons Of
taste, but there are people in New York
and elsewhere who give hundreds and
sometimes thousands of dollars for these
confessedly ugly things. New York

BOsTON, Nov. 6-Massachusetts is ex-
pected 70 do the usual thing on Tuesday, so
far as the election of all state officers ex-
cept the governor is concerned, and the
Republicans count on the customary heavy
majority for their candidates. These an
ticipations may not be wholly realized, but
il is regarded as a foregone conclusion that
the Republican candidates for lieutenant
governor, secretary of state, treasurer,
auditor and attorney general are safe, and
that the executive councillors will be large
ly of the same complexion.
The fight centers on the governorship,
and the ework of the past week has been no
ticeably harder than during the closing
days Of last years fierce campaign The
Republicans claim that Greenhalge will
have a majority Of at least 5000, and the
Democrats make an equally confident claim
for John +. Russell Ifeither side has been
doing more brilliant work than the other,
it has been the Democrats, whose force Of
speakers has been more conspicuous than
the Republicans in point of ability, but
both parties have distinguished themselves
for steady, solid work.
One of the principal closing meetings Of
the campaign will be held in Springfield to-
night, and the chief speaker will be Govern
or William +. Russell. The latter has
thrown himself into the fight with great
vigor, and the Democrats expect his efforts
TO be of very material benefit.

RECRUITS FOR BRAZIL.

Riot.

A Practical Joker In Boston stirs Up
Riot.
Boston, Nov. 6.-Some jocose minded in
dividual inserted an advertisement in the
papers of Sunday calling for several hun
dred men to 90 to Brazil. The advertise
ment promised a bounty Of 81 900 upon
arrival at Rio de Janeiro The men were
TO 90 to England as cattlemen and thence
TO Rio, so as TO escape the United States
law against enlisting men for foreign serv-
ice.
About 200 men responded to the adver-
tisement and besieged a Commercial street
shipping Office, where the proprietor per-
petrated the joke by getting the men to put
their signatures to a document, which had
no significance TO them beyond their belief
that they were signing ships articles for
the Brazilian trip. The men were formed
into companies, and one who claimed
knowledge Of the manual Of arms was APP
pointed captain. They were to drill in
front Of the shipping Office where they
were for several hours furnishing amuse-
ment for a crowd of people who were onto
the joke. Finally several members of the
company objected to the frills of the cap
tain. A free fight and mutiny followed, in
which 100 of the recruits joined.
The police of Station 1 took a hand and
arrested four of the mentor fighting, and
half dozen Of them were taken to the sta
tion to get their heads patched up.

Race Track Fight In New Jersey.

TRENTON, Nov. 6.-No state officers are
involved in the election tomorrow, the
fight being entirely confined TO the legisla-
ture in the state and TO the sheriffs and
other local officers in the various counties.
Senators are to be chosen in the counties
of Camden, Essex, Gloucester. Monmouth,
Salem, Somerset, Union and Warren. It
will be noticed that the above list includes
the counties in which are all the large
race tracks of the state The last senate
stood as follows; Democrats, IS; Republic
ans, .. The last house stood: Democrats,
70: Republicans, q.
A fierce fight is being waged in every
unity in the state on the legislative
tickets. The one issue of the campaign is
what is known as the race track bill, the
Republicans charging that the last legisla-
ture was entirely dominated by the own
ers of the large race tracks in the state
and determined effort is being made to
elect a legislature which will repeal the
bill legalizing betting on races throughout
the state.
The Republicans I'm this fight are being
aided by law and order leagues and other
similar organizations in almost every
county In the state.
This fight affects the local as well as the
legislative tickets in most of the counties.
and at this time the result of the contest is
very much in doubt although both sides
are claiming victory with confidence

ELECTIONS TOMORROW.
Several of the State Contests
Will Be Rather Exciting.
MAYNARD QUESTION IENBw YORK,

The Race Track Fight WIN Make the
Struggle Hot at the Polls In New Jersey.
Massachusetts Has "A Close Gubernatorial
Race-TariH Ideas In Ohio.
NEW YORK, Nov 6.-New York state for
many years past has been noted for the
rapidly changing currents of public opin-
ion as evinced in the results of the annual
election. The present election apparently
bids fair 10 prove itself a copy of It's prede-
cessors The whole issue of the campaign
seems TO have been in the nomination of
Isaac II. Maynard for associate judge of the
court Of appeals by the Democracy.
National issues have been almost entire
ly ignored, and aside from an occasional
mention of the financial troubles that have
so seriously racked the country for months
past, and the action Of the United States
senate in holding back the repeal of the so
called Sherman silver bill, nothing has been
heard of the questions which have been so
prominently agitated both at Washington
and in the press Of the United States
since the calling of the extra session Of CON
gress.
The Maynard Charges.
While Maynard is but one of the five
state officers on the ticket the average
voter, if asked, would pause to think be-
fore he could tell the names of the other
four candidates. The opposition TO Judge
Maynard has been of such nature that
all else was lost TO sight an, vividly re-
calls the charges made against him in 1891.
In that year several legislative seats were
contested after the election. The returns
from the Fifteenth senatorial district were
received at the Office of the secretary of
state. It is claimed by his opponents that
Judge Maynard, in his official capacity,
unlawfully removed from the Office of tho
secretary of state the election returns sent
there by order of the supreme court. 1t
was charged that the motive for this was
TO prevent counting of the returns by the
board of state canvassers until a new re-
turn could be made out and forwarded.
The result Of the contest in the courts
practically sustained Judge Maynard and
gave the Democratic party a majority OK
one in the state senate. giving them also
complete control of every department Of
the state government. Following this came
number of enactments by the legislature,
reapportionments of congressional and leg
islative districts and other measures de
signed to strengthen Democratic control
of the state. On Judge Maynard's nomi-
haAAbh AhAo etaA NAAt NiN ANalEto MtIt
brought against him. For the first time
in several years the Democrats have had to
defend their candidates.
A majority of the legal fraternity
throughout the state seem to be opposed
to Mr. Maynard, and many predict that he
will be defeated. Sanguine Republicans
90 so far as to claim a sweeping victory for
their whole ticket. The Democrats seem
TO have little fear of the loss of the legisla-
ture, and while the Republicans may again
secure control Of the senate the more con-
servative Of both parties believe that the
Democrats will have a majority on joint
ballot.

The NEW TARlFF BILL.
1t May Not Enlarge the Free List as Much
as Expected.

WASHINGTON. Nov 6.-There is a grow
ing impression among those who have talk
ed with majority members Of the commit
tee on ways and means. who are Preparing
a tariff bill, that this bill, when it is report
ed, will not present such radical reduction
as was promised some time ago. Just what
led to this is not clear, except that the def
icit in the treasury makes it important
that the reductions of the duty shall not
be so radical rs TO impair the revenue rails
ing qualities of the measure
There have been numerous .expedients
talked Of to raise sufficient revenue, chiefly
those relating to an increase of internation-
al taxation. IL has been intinated that
these suggestions have been given out with
the idea of testing the feeling of the people
upon them and TO see if they will be too
much of burden upon those who will have
to bear them.
There has been a lull in the talk of the
income tax during the week, but it is evil
dent that those who favor it have not been
idle. Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska, a member Of
the committee, says that he is devoting
much Of his time TO the income tax prop
osition. He thinks that he is making con-
verts for it in the committee and hopes TO
have it reported as a revenue raising fea-
thre Of the tariff bill Other members of
the committee say that il will be impossi-
bic now to cut the duties to the extent
that many people seem to think should be
done, and they give out the impression
that, so far from being such a radical meas
ure as once predicted, it will be a mild re-
duction all around, without any heavy cuts
on anything and with a free list not so
largely increased as has been talked Of. In
deed, some of the members are opposed to
enlarging the free list to any extent, ex-
cept in a few and unimportant articles, es-
pecially when the revenues of the govern
ment are in their present condition.
