THE ELECTIONS.

There is not a great deal Of encourage
ment for democrats in Tuesdays cleo
tions, on the surface, and yet there may
be if the lesson they teach is understood
and needed. Perhaps it may be seen
from a brief comparison of Minnesota
and Ohio Both are republican states.
The position Of the Minnesota democrats
on the question of tariff reform is well
known. They have made no conceal
ment of it. They spoke out in tones so
clear and unmistakable that no one
could mistake their intention to stand
for principle notwithstanding the treason
of a part of their party leaders. The
democratic candidate for mayor of st.
Paul was elected by 1000 majority, al
though his opponent had the indorse-
ment of 1.-The citizens committee" Two
years ago Mayor Wright. republican,
was elected by $500 majority.
Ohio is in a most unfortunate condi-
ton. Among her leading democrats are
some of the most earnest and honest
tariff-reformers in the country, but her
democratic senator stands before the
country today so besmirched. so dis
credited, and so utterly despised that the
mere mention of him is sickening to an
honest democrat. That is bad enough,
but back of him are the Cincinnati En-
quirer and several other more or less in
fiuential newspapers, defending his
course and disavowing the principles for
which the democratic party has been
fighting for years. In the election in the
Third congressional district of Ohio Paul
]. Sorg, democrat. was elected by 1000
majority. there being but two candidates
in the field. In 1892 Houk (dem) carried
the same district by 4.316 plurality. and
Cleveland carried in by $50 plurality.
In 1891 Campbell's majority in the same

The state board of health has acted
wisely in requiring all Coxeyites enter
ing Indiana from Chicago and that vicin-
ity to be vaccinated, and also in order
ing that all clothing manufactured in
the sweating shops of that city be thor
oughly fumigated and disinfected before
being shipped into Indiana. The Chicago
Herald of Monday says:
Although Health Commissioner Rey-
nolds has at last openly acknowledged
that the disease is rife in this city to an
appalling degree-although not more so
than in other parts of the country-there
is not yet hospital accommodation for
more than a fraction of those suffering
with it, Many victims of the plague are
secluded in private quarters throughout
the city because there is no proper shell
ter to which to take them. While there
is no reason for panic over this sitUa-
ton. il must be obvious that the disease,
which is practically unchecked at pres
ent. is certain to inflict grievous injury
upon Chicago.
It is evident from this guarded state
ment that there would be very serious
danger from immigration from Chicago
of the classes from which these indus
trials are recruited. And what is more.
the city authorities of Chicago seem to
have no intelligent ideas as to the con-
troll of the danger. The Herald says:
The health commissioner, driven to do
something by way of providing for the
excess Of suffering, selected a public
building, a school house, for a temporary
smallpox hospital in a portion of the
city i'm which the pestience has reached
Hfr~fr Is l.,s.-
authorized to take the building at once
and use ii for hospital purposes, DR..
Reynolds made a red tape report about
il to the mayor, and the mayor red taped
the matter to the board of education.
The board of education thereupOn made
inquiry of a few stupid obstructionists
in the vicinity of the building. and find
ing that they were not in favor of its
use as a hospital they concluded that
nothing could be done. Because there is
objection the part of a few ignorant
and selfish individuals in the Tenth
ward. ward that needs purifying from
end to end. the municipal arm is palsied.
Nothing can be done but play with red
tape. The situation is so scandalous ana
so dangerous that temperate language
is wholly inadequate to the proper char
acterization of the official weakness and
folly which have brought it about.
The people of Indiana have as large a
fund of liberation as any body of people
in the country. but while they can stand
a great deal of crankism, in any form,
they do not desire any Importation Of
this dangerous disease. and they will not
submit to it. 1t was bad enough for
Chicago to load ner criminal classes
upon us at Roby, but when it comes to
making Indiana dumping place for
disease also, forbearance ceases to be
virtue. Let the Chicago Commonwealers
form themselves into a reserve army
until the smallpox is rooted out at Chi
cago, at any rate.

RETRIBUTION.

Amid the general interchange of senti-
ment among democrats concerning the
late elections in Indiana, it may be
worth while to remember that most of
the events which we now depIore would
not have occurred but for the imbecility
of the legislature of 1893. But for that
legislature most of these elections would
have occurred in May. 1898. before the
panic came on, and before the people
had any opportunity to become disguised
with the national senate. OF course no
one anticipated these occurrences, but
Mr.. McHugh and a few other slick poll
ticians thought they could work a great
scheme by extending the time of the
democrats, who were already in office,
and so a bill was prepared and pushed
through providing that all city officers
should hold until September, 1894, when
they should be succeeded by officials to
be elected in May. 1894 This bill came
to the governor and he had not the
stamina either to veto 1t or to sign it,
and so it became a law by lapse of time.
OF course the law was merely a piece
of cheap political trickery, and like such
things usually do. it has come home to
roost in the most startling and unex-
pected manner. Instead Of being a po-
litical advantage TO the democrats it
has given the opposition control for four
years Of number of democratic cities
with all the patronage and other re-
wards which the slick politician usually
covets. And it is really singular how
frequently just that sort of thing re-
suits in such cases. There was that
ingenious movement of practical poll
ticiaus known as the tally-sheet forgery.

which gained nothing for anyone. landed
part of its authors in the penitentiary
and furnished loads of ammunition TO
the enemy. There was that ingenious
effort of Governor Hovey to capture the
state patronage. backed by a majority
of the supreme court. which resulted in
his getting control of one very small and
unimportant office. the disgrace of the
court. and large amount of public SEN
timent for the democrats. These things
do not pay. They are not good politics.
There are a great many men in this
country who consider themselves poll
ticians who have never learned the
primary principle of the science. 1t is
this; In a country controlled by the
votes of the people the smartest thing
you can do is to do honestly. fairly and
fearlessly what is for the best interests
of the people.

resources. The canal business made one

filled the country with miliionaires; the

states and created immense fortunes.
Railroading, in construction and opera
ton, gave employment to the best brains
of the land for years. and the stories
of the sudden rise of men from poverty
and obscurity to fame and fortune and
power read like Oriental fairy tales
But these fields have been worked out
or are already supporting all they can.
Take railroading. for instance. Only
few years ago. a young man could enter
the ranks of railroaders at the bottom
with a reasonable assurance that by APP
plication and industry he could in time

road presidents and general managers

with many years Of activity and useful
ness before them. Under them are
scores and hundreds and thousands Of
others qualified to take their places when
they step down and out. The railroad
business is not extending rapidly enough
to make high places for all those who
are competent to fill them. Men get to
the front now only by the slow process
of promotion through the opportunities
of resignation and death. Thousands of
men now in the business, who are in
every way qualified to become general
managers, are destined to wear out their
lives as subordinate clerks. There is no
longer plenty of room at the top
But, as before stated. the development
of electricity has but just begun. Elec-
trical engineers are everywhere in de-

more alluring prospects than that of

majority in the same district was ASH.
The only break in this average record
was McKinley's plurality of $50 in the
same district in 1898. but McKinley's
plurality in 1898 in Ohio was SO.995. which
is somewhat abnormal
Mr.. Sorg was a strong candidate per-
sonally. His gain of 500 in his own
home shows that. His loss of majority
was partially due to detection of the
soldier vote, but It is certain that the dis
gust of the people with the Ohio senator's
position on the tariff question was also an
important factor. In Indiana it is also
certain that dissatisfaction with the
action and inaction of the senate on the
tariff bill exercised very large influ-
ence. though the most startling demo-
cratic defeats We're due to local dis
affection. The democrats Of Indiana are
earnestly and enthusiastically for tariff
reform. So are the populists, the pro-
hibitionists. and a large percentage Of
the republicans. The people are edu-
Gated on that question. They cannot be
stampeded by any cry that tariff-reform
makes hard times. They know better.
But they can be driven from support Of
the democratic party by failure to fulfill
its pledges.

ELECTRICITY AS A STUDY.

If the worlds fair had had no other

is yet only just begun; that the science
is still in it's infancy The projected
school is but an answer to the demand Of

Information that the government of that
island has granted to the Hon. John l.
Waller a concession of land fifteen miles
square in the newly discovered rubber
district. Tt appears that a new rubber
tree has been found, and that trading
houses have been established at Fara-

that while he has lost his Job he has
done almost as we'll as Dan Ransdelrs
relatives in Washington in getting some

the paper that John would sell his con-
cession in case there should be a general
demand for such a movement on the part
of American capitalists.
