The New York Town Elections.

When Fighting Bob MAXWELL was ap-
poipted Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Cien-
eral. having jurisdiction over 1855 Post
Offices. exclusive OF tho 1885 Presidential
Post Offices In New York. 1t was announced
with considerable confidence that his

and that many individuals. otherwise
lukewarm and indifferent. who could not
abide the CALLING domination of tho regular

gress, and his intention to go before the

the financial policy OF the Democracy:

To put the necessaries OF life on the free

elimination in favor OF raw materials. is

Curiousiy enough. IN the same breath In
which he approves further violations Of the
national tariff plank. he declares for rigid
ly orthodox observance Of the financial
plank. We fear that Col. GARRARD is too
eclectic in his political opinions to be re-
Qarded as an admirable candidate for Sena-
tor In Congress.
In regard to the income tax. Col. GARRARD
has ever been in favor Of this system Of
taxation" If"ever is not hero used with
the hyperbole Of candidate, Col. GARRARD
has not been Democrat. He recalls with
pride that as Chairman Of the Platform
Committee Of the Georgia Democratic Con-
vention In 1892, he wrote and put into the
platform a demand for "a just and equl-
table system OF graduated tax on incomes" "
But whatever surrenders to the Farmers
Alliance and Popullsm were made by the
Georgia State Democratic Convention In
1899, the National Democratic Convention,
later In the same year, made no such sur
renders. There was not word In the ma
tional platform about an income tax. just
or unjust. graduated or undergraduated.
The Georgia Democracy was ovcrruled by
the national Democracy; and though Col.
GARRARD may be Democrat in Columbus.
he would be reduced Popuist In Washing
ton. There is no reason why he shouldn't
be elected a State Senator on the Georgia
platform OF 1892. II Georgia Is still Populisti-
cal: but even II he is pronounced orthodox
by the provincial synod. his heterodoxy In
the eyes OF the national council Is clear. As
a United States Senator he would be pain
fully out Of line.

cans carried sixteen Of the nineteen towns.
the largest number ever carried by them.
In Madison county the Republicans made a
clean sweep. carrying every township. In
Delaware they elected 16 out Of 10 mem
bers. Such is the story Of the first spring
elections held in this State since the ap-
pointment OF ROBERT MAXWELL.
These results, unsatisfactory TO every
Democrat, cannot DO accounted for on the
theory that there Is any lack OF diligence on
the part OF MAXWELL, but for the reason
that the administration In Washington has
not been such as tofavorably commend the
party to public confidence and regard. The
burden OF the WILSON bill. the Hawaiian In
fanny, and the bitter war waged against
Democrats by the cuckoOs who profess to
speak with authority for Mr.. CLEVELAND.
may account for the Republican successes
There does not appear to have been any
material increase in the Republican vote at
Tuesdays elections. Scores Of rural Demo-
Gratis. disappointed with the record OF the
party In Washington; displeased by the APP
parent unwillingness Of an Administration
professedly Democratic, to keep the most
solemn and specific party pledges; and re-
sentfu or embittered by the senseless war
fare made by Its representatives upon DEM
ocrats who are not OF the fair-weather or
Mugwump variety. appear TO have re-
mained away from the polls.
This is not the right spirit for men upon
whom devolves the duty OF sustaining
party interests at all hazards and against
assaults from without or within. We
hope that these early defeats OF the De-
mocracy in the spring elections In New
York, will serve the good purpose Of arous-
ing all Democrats to more active efforts in
those counties where the elections have not
yet occurred.

A Disappearing Prospect.

About a half year ago there were appre-
tensions in Europe that European war
might be provoked by the adventures Of
France in siam: but the Siamese incident
has not disturbed the worlds peace. At
more recent period. there were like
apprehensions concerning Spain's troubles
in Morocco and England's troubles in
Egypt. which also have been peacefully
settled. at least for time. It Is
possible that European war may not
grow out OF the French and British move
ments in West Africa, or out of the Brit
ish and Russian movements near the north
ern frontier OF India. or out OF the New
foundland question. or the Madagascar
question. or any OF the Incidents which are
the cause OF apprehension in Europe. Dis
turbances do not always occur when people
expect them. and are often avoided even
when there seems to be great danger Of
them. Again. they often occur when not
anticipated, or grow out OF something that
had looked like mere trihe.
Perhaps the last Of the great wars OF the
nineteenth century was fought when Ger
many conquered France.

VIENNA. Jan. 30.-Nowhere has uhe illness OF

Of a European war it is quite as much due TO

fering and agony OF thousands under his eyes.
