Interest in today's elections Is OF two
sorts-moral and POLITICAL; moral as to New
York and political as to other states and
cities. Throughout New York the division
among men Is not on partisan lines; the
opposing forces are made up respectively
of these who believe In good government
and those who do not. 1t may be argued
that this Is only so In New York city, but
those who know how intimate is the rela-
tionship between the government of New
York city and the government of the state
will rot be able to disassociate the, one
from the other. The intimacy is admitted
by Temmany, for prominent members of
that nalodorous organization have been
betting on the success Of the anti-Tammany
ticket In the city. but have worked with
all the skill and strength they possess to
insure the election Of David b. Hill as gov
ernor; they realize that for the present at
least they could hope for but little In the
city; With the republicans In control of the
state Tammany might be legislated out of
existerce. There were thus presented two
evils-rrofltless seclus.on for awhile or COM
plete humiliation. What appeared to be
the least Of these has apparently been
chosen, for Tammany seems to have made
up its mind that the good government
ticket win be successful in the city: Tam
many Is endeavoring to make virtue out
Of a political necessity when It pretends to
be careless es to the city vote and anxious
as to the conflict in the state. Outside Of
New York the tariff question Is undoubt-
eddy more important than any other cam
paign issue. Two years ago the nation de-
cided In favor Of a change; today 1t will
let the world know whether the change
agreed with 1t or not.

The greater Washington Is to be distin-
gushed by the same beauty and broadhess
of scheme and richness of detail that are
SO universally admired and commended in
the plan of the city as 1t now Is. In addi-
ton to the extension Of the present system
Of streets.-. avenues. squares, and circles
beyond the city boundaries. the map of
street extension. which Is now being pre-
pared by the District Commissioners will
especially provide for system of boule-
wards connecting the parks beyond Florida
avenue with those that are now in the city
proper. This part Of the work has been
assigned to the distinguished landscape en-
gineer. Frederick Law Olmstead; II Is a
magnificent opportunity and will probably
be the final achievement in a career which
has placed Mr.. Olmstead at the head Of
his profession. The task Is worthy of the
best talent Of the country. Briefly stated.
the purpose Is to connect the Mall and the
recently reclaimed Potomac 1ats-which
form Its natural continuation-with the
beautiful Rock Creek region within the
borders of the Geological and Rock Geek
parks: thence by a carefully selected drive
way to the grounds Of the Soldiers Home
and then a boulevard sweeping along the
northern and eastern border of the city to
the park which will one day take the place
OF the unsightly and noisome marshes Of
the Eastern Branch. Within this area will
be carried cut the plan Of l. Enfant so that
the greater Washington instead Of being
less beautiful than the artistic conception
of the once urappreciated French officer,
who SO wisely planned the National Capital,
will surpass II.

DIR. Godding's plea for the establishment
of an inebriate asylum in this city may re-
suit In a revival Of the energy which some
time ago was congressionally applied in the
interest of such a foundation as that for
which the doctor argues with so much Of
force and so much of reason. For awhile 1t
seemed as though the endeavor of the many
sincere men and women Interested IN the
plan would surely bring success but Congress
suddenly became economical and by being
so as to the proposed asylum saved a few
dollars and wasted a great many. 1t used
to be that temperance lecturers were few
and often unlearned; today they are many,
and among them are some of the brightest
Of our scientific lights. AS superintendent
of the Government Hospital for the Insane
DR.. Godding has had exceptional facilities
for studying the effects Of alcohol upon the
human body and the human mind; his con-
demnation OF strong drink is therefore not
the unreasonable condemnation of fanatic
but the deliberate conclusion Of q man who
takes nothing for granted and who can only
be convinced by indisputable testimony
The medical treatment of those who are
victims of the drink habit Is a subject in
" hich the general government and state
legislatures may properly become interested

Among the police court items In The Star
yesterday evening was one In which 1t ap-
peared that one Of two young men who had
been speeding a horse up Pennsylvania ave-
nue. Sunday night-a horse that collided
with a pedestrian-had been arrested and
had forfeited the so collateral which he de-
posted at the station house. In many cases
the forfeiture Of the collateral Is accepted
by the authorities as a satisfactory conclu-
sion, but In this instance the mere loss of
$40 Is insufficient punishment. Fast driving
is common offense and one of the most
dangerous Of misdemeanors; it has never
been repressed here as it should have been.
the excuse most frequently offered by the
police being that the parties were unknown
and uncatchable. In this instance. both the
guilty parties. appear to have been identi-
fled. What reason can be given for their
not being punished severely2

thus arranged: General superintendent, $3.50;
assistant superintendent, 500: five in
spectors at SIS each. 1916; fifteen captains
at $40 each, 5000; sixty neutenants at S25
each, 81 500: 277 sergeants at SIS each. s4,345.
and 2764 patrolmen at $40 each. In addi-
ton to the squeezing Of these functionaries
fees were collected-not by voluntary con-
trtbutions, but by systematic deductions
from the regular salaries - from patrol
drivers. bailiffs, pound-keepers, veterinary
surgeons, printers, stenographers and sta
ton matrons. all employees of the force. The
word has been passed along that the men,
bers Of the force resent this harsh treat
ment and are secretly vowing vengeance
upon the machine. The results In Cook
county today may be surprising.

CALIFORNIA.
Neck md Neck for Governor.


SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, November 6.-The
election is proceeding quietly throughout the
state. and at this hour there Is absolutely
nothing upon which to base prediction as
to the result. 1t is a campaign of men and
interests rather than party principles The
race between Estee and Budd for governor
seems to be neck and neck with the populist
vote as the balance to decide.
1t Is generally conceded that the popuists
will poll fifty thousand votes or twice as
many as at the last election. II they draw
most from the democrats Estee will be
elected and the converse Is true. The state
legislature may be democratic as there Is
strong fight against republican candidates
who would be likely to vote for NJ. H De-
Young for United States Senator.
In San Francisco there Is some stufflng In
the interest of Dan Burns the republican
boss. 1t is certain that Adolph Sutre Is
elected mayor of this city by a good plu-
rality over several other candidates. among
them being the perennial DR.. O'Donnell. who
is always a candidate. and the present Maj.
Elliott, who was the nominee of both the
republican and non-partisan conventions.
Sutre is the picturesque old millionaire. who
built the Sutre tunnel on the Comstock and
now lives at the Cliff House by the Golden
Gate. He was nominated by the populists,
and his canvass has been made on the one
issue of hostility to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company.
The Traffic Association claims that the
anti-monopoly railroad commissioners are
elected. AS to state offices the result will
undoubtedly be mixed, although the poll
ticians at party headquarters are doing the
usual amount of predicting and claiming
according to their affiliations. 1t may pref
ty safely be set down that the republicans
will return four out of the seven Congress
men.

DEMOCRATIC GLOOM.

sons London Speech.

sons London Speech.
Senator Faulkner and Secretary Gardner
with a few choice spirits heard returns in
a private room In the Wormley Hotel, and
the bulletins were then read in the commit
tee rooms below, where quite large crowd
of politicians of this city were gathered.
Early IN the evening the tone Of the gath
ering was very hopeful, but as the dis
patches came in, which made such q show
ing against the democrats of the empire
state an air of gloom began to settle down
over the room and the various men began
to advance theories and hopes that some
thing would come up to give them hope for
the future
However, as the returns became worse
and worse the remarks took on q tone very
uncomplimentary to the administration and
some started In to say they hoped most of
all that Wilson would be defeated, ascribing
the landslide to a great extent to his speech
in London. Gloom Is the order Of the hour
at this point at the headquarters and the
assembly seems scarcely to know what to
think and are almost ready to believe that
even Mississippi is threatened with a
schism toward the republicans.
At the White House.
The President and various members Of the
cabinet are receiving returns at the White
House, but the orders to the door keeper
and the man who Is running the telephone
are to let the officials severely alone end to
pay no attention to any callers, whether
they be private individuals ON business or
newspaper correspondents on the most i'm
portant business
Secretary Gresham and Secretary Bissell,
who are both too Ill to be at the White
House are being supplied with the returns
from there by messenger service. They are
surprised at the result, but will express
no opinion whatever.
At all the uptown hotels AMI clubs, par
ticularly at the Press Club ana University
Club the returns are being listened to by
crowds who look either cheerful or meIan-
choly, acco riding to the way in which their
money has been placed on the result

over the upper part of the city and ladies
are prominent on the street and give vent
to their enthusiasm in a less noisy, but
none the less hearty way than the male
listeners.
