land turns out to be glittering success.

WE know something now of the
feelings of the other fellows two years
ago.
THIS election emphasizes the same
old fact that politics is mighty uncer-
tain.
McKINLEYIsM costs the people
pretty dear, but they seem bound to
have it.
OUR roosters are not in good crow
ing order this week. Fact is, they
are sick.
THERE'S one thing certain-well be
up and at EN- in two years livelier
than ever.

TUESDAY really was cold day.
And we think the snow began early in
the morning,
WHAT'S the matter with Harper's
Ferry? Was she bought, bulldozed
or betrayed?

IT was the worst election we ever
heard Of We can't even be thankful
that it was no worse.

WHAT this country needs is ballot
system that Will guarantee satisfactory
results to all parties.
THERE'S one consolation to the fell
low that is underneath now: he may
be on top two years hence.

HILL made a splendid fghtin New
York, but the Republicans and Mug
wumps were too much for him.
-
THEY may keep Mr.. Wilson out of
Congress, but they cannot dislodge
him from the hearts of the people.

TAMMANY is knocked pretty fat in
New York-but the the tiger fights
mighty we'll while lying on its back
IT is mighty bitter partisan who
thinks the country is going to smash
because the election didn't go his way.
-~---~--~--~~--~~-~----~-
MANY reasons are given why it
turned out so, but the same old cause
is responsible-there weren't votes
enough.
A GREAT many people have sworn
never to have anything to do with
politics again. And they won't-that
is, not until next time.
-----~--~-~--~~~~~~~-~-
THERE can be no changes in the
laws during the next two years, any
how, except by Democratic consent.
In two years the Democrats will be on
top again.

IT'S no wonder Pennsylvania went
Republican by 100000. There were
10000 illegal votes in Philadelphia
alone, and they even registered dogs
in that city.
THE election couldn't go to suit
everybody, of course. Now that it is
over, let all animosities be forgotten
and let all our people unite in working
for the prosperity of our common
country.
THE Democrats have sustained
heavy losses in almost every part of
the country. Yet the defeat of Tues
day is no worse than the landslide that
overwhelmed the Republicans two
years ago.

IT would be little easier to bear
Democratic defeat if there was the
slightest hope that this administration
would learn something by it. But a
mugwump welded to his idols is
hopeless case.
DAVID B. HILL stepped into the
breach in New York when no other
Democrat would lead the forlorn hope,
and he fought bravely. He deserved
better of the people. Better, however,
to be defeated Democrat than vic
torious mugwump.
The japanese have scared the
Chinese so badly that the latter are
begging for peace. The Chinese say
that they are willing to concede the
independence of Corea and that they
will pay any indemnity to japan that
the powers may agree upon. The
japanese armies have invaded China,
whose soldiers are hyingin every direc-
ton from the victorious Japs.

THERE'S one thing that could be
done and that ought to be done forth
with-and that is to put Democrats in
the Offices. Iii simply nauseating to
