We are optimistic enough to be-
lieve that the recent financial pam
ic, which in a somewhat modified
form still fingers with us, will prove
to be blessing cunningly disguis-
ed It is q known fact that farmers
have suffered less on this account
than any other class, and that they
are now in q better financial condi-
ton than they were last year or the
year before. The principal effect
of the panic upon farmers was to
make them moro economical in ex-
penditures and moro careful in hus-
banding their resources and more
thoughtful and prudent in their
plans for the future. The products
of farms the world must have at
some price, and that price must be
paid, and the farmer il 30 circum-
stanced that he can easily supply
the difference between ordinary
and panic prices, with a little moro
than usual prudence. The profits
of q years work is not measured by
the receipts, but by the difference
between receipts and expenditures.

The elections on last Tuesday re
suited in a most remarkable Re
publican victory, which party &C.
quired gains from both Democrats
and Populists. The Republicans
have elected a majority in the lower
house of Congress, and claim tina,
they will control it over Democrats
and Populists combined.
The Democrats have lost fully
30 Congressman in the North and
West, while the number of Popu-
lists has been cut down from IA to
g. The Republican majority in
New York is simply immense, Da-
vid B. Hill being showed under by
fully 10000 majority in favor Of
Levi p. Morton.
Louisiana elects six Democrats
to Congress, as usual, Ogden's ma
jority over Bailey in this district
being between 1000 and 5000. Bal
ley has probably carried five par
ishes by small majorities, viz:
Winn, Grant, Natchitoches, Sabine
and Vernon, while Ogden carries
the other seven parishes in the dis
trict by good big majorities.
The official count in Winn gives
Bailey 8l5, Ogden 142.
We give below the official pro-
mitigation for this parish:

The Times Democrat says:
The results of the election are
less momentous than might appear
from the size of the Republican
victory. The Republicans have the
new House; but for all that they
will be perfectly helpless. They
can block all Democratic legisla-
ton; but, on the other hand, they
cannot originate or carry through
any laws of their own.
The people have thought it sdvis-
able to stop all tariff tinkering and
partisan Legislation by giving each
of the two great parties control of
one Of the branches of Congress.

the next two years, But beyond
acting as check to the Democrats,
we do not see what the Republicans
have gained by their victory. They
secured no offices or patronage;
they have not made themselves any
stronger, but have probably weak
ened themselves. for the people will
expect some relief and they can
give none. Could the tidal wave
have been delayed two years il
would have proved a great help to
the Republicans; but as it is, the
victory is a barren and premature
one. The Republican party has
greater responsibility on its shout
ders, has the control of one branch
of Congress confided to it, but it is
impotent, unable to do anything
for the people or for itself.
If the Democracy learns wisdom
by its defeat it will be all the strong
er for the great fight Of 1896.
The N. O. Picayune says:
Although sufficient returns are
not yet at hand to make forecast
OF the exact composition of the
next House of Representatives re-
liable, nevertheless it il clear that
the Democracy has suffered heavy
losses, and the control of the House.
if it has not actually been lost, will
remain with the Democrats only
with the aid of Populist votes.
The Republicans have made
great gains all through the East
and in some of the central Western
States; but in the South and far
West they have gained practically
nothing, and have, in the case of
the West, probably lost several
seats to the Populists. The Dem
ocracy suffered the heaviest losses
in New York, Illinois and Michi-
gan, and the losses in West Virginia,
particularly in Congressman Will
sons district will also be felt, be-
cause of the fact that the tariff
leader OF the present Congress was
involved.
According to the most sanguine
estimates of the Republicans, their
gains have amounted to about fifty
seats, which will give them a small
plurality over the Democrats; but
it IS unlikely that they will have an
absolute majority over the DEM
ocrats and Populists combined.
From present appearances, the next
House will consist of l73 Republi-
cans, 1863 Democrats and IA Popu-
lists. This would seem to mean
that the Populists will actually
have the balance of power.
The South has been effected but
slightly by the tidal wave, as the
only losses SO far apparent are q
couple of districts in West Virgin.
Ia and one in Tennessee. In the
Republican estimates three Louisi-
ana districts are included. If the
figures from other States are not
more accurate than from this their
schedules of gains will have to be
materially modified within the next
few days.
The main cause for the large Re-
publican gains, aside from the in
fuence of the local contests in the
State of New York, was the natural
disposition to lay the blame for all
the losses of the recent financial
panic upon the party in power.
Undoubtedly the Democracy, with |
its unwieldly majority in the pres
emit House, made many blunders;
but there is every reason to believe
that the business depression was
the main cause of the popular dis
pleasure, although that depression
is justly attributable to the acts of |
the celebrate Reed Mckinley Con- |

A Matter of Public Concern.

There is hardly any subject of public
concern in which l take so deep an in
terest as the matter of improving our
roads. Their condition is disgrace to
our country, and not only disgrace,
but an injury which has attained to the
proportions of a calamity. The present
condition of our roads undoubtedly
costs the country, and the farmers of it
especially, every year vastly more than
the interest on the largest sum neces-
sary to put them in perfect order. 1t
seems strange that this country, so far
in advance of others in most things,
should, as simple matter of fact, be
behind the whole civilized world in
this sort of internal communications
There is no doubt in my mind that the
value of agricultural property, through
out the state of New York especially,
would be vastly increased but for this
condition of the roads, which really
makes life burden to those attempt
ing to reside upon our farms. This is
one cause why so many energetic farm
ers get out of the farming districts
and into the villages and cities. When
one sees what our sister republics of
France and Switzerland are doing in
regard to roads, the condition of our
own republic in this respect is all the
more amazing.-AndreD d. White, CO.
president Cornell University.
