Mr. Turner the Logical Candidate.

The result Of Wednesdays election
makes Congressman Turner the logical
candidate for the Senate. Nearly all the
counties Of his congressional district re-
turned good democratic majorities. The
people Of those counties virtually said by
their votes that his position on the silver
question is the correct one; that it is the
position Of the Democratic party. If he had
had time to thoroughly canvass the state
before the election, it is pretty certain that
the democratic majority for the state
ticket would have been a great deal larger
The MORNING NEWS yesterday morning
called attention to the fact that in the
counties where democrats have joined in
the demand for the free coinage of silver
at The ratio of 10 to /, the populists devel-
oped the greatest strength. The conces-
sions made by democrats on the silver
question did not win populist votes. It
simply made the populists more aggressive.
And it had the effect of making democrats
Indifferent, or drove them 10 the populists.
They argued that if the free coinage Of sill
yer was good thing, as some democratic
leaders said, they might as well join the
populist party because that party demands
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio Of IS to l, which the Democratic
party does not.
Mr.. Turner is against the silver craze.
He does not believe that the minis can be
opened to silver without eventually max
ing silver debased currency. He is will
ing that as much silver shall be coined as
can be coined without endangering the
soundness of the currency, beyond that
he is not willing 10 90. His views are
those Of the Democratic party, and they
are the views of the democrats of the
counties that on Wednesday wed the
state to the democracy.
Mr.. Turner, therefore, should be the
choice of the legislature for the Senate
He and men like him are the dependence
of the party. If the democrats are TO re-
tain possession of this sUate they must &C

ton

Luck Stood by Him.

A veteran of the Aroostook war tells a
story of how good luck brought a poor
marksman out of a bad scrape, says the
Lewiston (Me) Journal. Fairfield visited
Houlton and reviewed the troops sta
toned there as commander-in-chief, and
OF course, it was the biggest kind of a
military event. The Dexter Rifle COM
pany had some crack shots in it, and as a
part of the exercises in honor of the gov
ernorS coming, they were marched out
for target practice. AS they made some
excellent hits 0he figure of an Indian be-
ing the mark, the governor expressed his
pleasure in their proficiency and said loud
enough for the men to hear:
Now, l would ike to see your very best
marksman try his skill"
In the company was a man noted for
never being able to hit anything, and at
once, in spirit of deYiltry, the cry ran
along the line repeating his name in an
swer to the governors call Without
hinching he stepped six PAGES to the front
and saluted:
Where do you want me to hit him.

posture.

mark.
"All right sir" The soldier raised his
gun, shut his eyes and turned his head
away as usual, and fired. The men were
all on broad grin at the great Joke Of
the thing, but when the bullet struck the
mark, whistling off a piece of the Indians

that could be heard all over the town

Their relations strained.

In our foreign dispa tches yesterday there
were denials BY the English newspapers
that there was any reason to believe there
would be war between England and
France. It is admitted, however, that the
relations between the two powers are
strained. The hasty meetings of the En-
glish and French cabinets on Tuesday were
the occasion for the newspaper comments.
The immediate cause of the trouble be-
tween England and France is the effort Of
France 10 conquer Madagascar, though the
London Globe says that the differences be-
tween the two governments are not con-
fined to Madagascar. There are points of
contact between the two countries through
out the world, ana at many of these points
there are causes for irritation. Madagas-
car however. is the main cause of the
trouble France is determined, appar-
emily, to have that island. The Hovas are
the ruling race of the island and they in
sist upon having their Independence. They
are not savages. The most of them are
Christians, and the Christian religion is
recognized by the state, though not sup
ported byit. They were rescued from bar
barism by Protestant missionaries They,
therefore, owe nothing TO France They
treat the dependent tribes humanely and
there is no good reason, therefore, why
France should interfere with them.
1t has become evident that France can
not suhdue them except by a war that
would destroy many lives Frances only
purpose apparently is to extend her terri
tory, and there are reasons for thinking
that if she should succeed in her present
purpose the Hovas would be great suffer-
ers They would receive no benefit from
France. On the contrary, they would be
oppressed and their movement towards a
higher plane of civilization would be
checked.
England has been, and still is, helping
the Hovas. 1t is probable that she has no
especial sympathy for them. Her main
object is to check the growth of French
possessions in that part of the world, be-
cause the growth interferes with her own
plans. France has protested against En-
glands supplying the Hovas with war ma
terials and this protest was one Of the
matters considered on Tuesday by the En-
glish cabinet. English officers also, it is
understood have volunteered to lead the
Hovas in their war with France. 1t can
readily be seen from the foregoing that,
while there is not likely to be war between
England and France. there are ample rea-
sons for their strained relations.

A Doodle mouemsnt.

From the Springfield Republican Qnd1
So far as it goes, this bolt of the Lou
isiana sugar planters is a break In the
solid south. Here is a lot of men, some of
them local politicians of prominence who
have always been democrats, who now de-
clare their intention of voting with the
republican party. This puts a new face
on Louisiana politics, and may change
the political character of the delegation
from that state in congress. This is all
that can be expected from this bolt, for
II Is not large enough to weaken the dem
ocratic hold on the state government, or
give the electoral vote OF the state to the
republicans. This is all that the bolt sig
niles. II Is a Doodle movement, pure and
slmple, and does not mean the conversion
OF democrats to republicanism or the
adoption by them OF any republican prin-
clples save that which involves the taxa

one Accepted, the Other Rejected.

Peace viii now be restored. probably,
between F'lorida's two MAJORS Maj. Marks
and Mai St. Clair-Abrams There was
almost as much interest in the issue be-
tween these majors as there was in the re
suit of the election throughout the entire
state. At one time it was thought there
would be something more serious than q
war Of words between them, but, happily,
trouble OF a sanguinary nature was averted
by the proposition to leave it to their re-
spective constituents TO decide which of
them was entitled to the confidence of the
people.
Ii will be remembered that Maj. st.
Clair-Abrams, who represented Lake
county in the state senate, intimated in
speech at Ocala, that Mai Marks, who
represented Orange county in the same
body, had changed front on the railroad
commission issue for reasons that were not
not creditable to him. Ma. Marks, of
course, had something TO soy in reply, and
the war of words between them began TO
attract the attention of the whole state.
Having confidence in his constituency
Maj. St. Clair-Abrams offered to resign and
submit the question as to whether he was
fit to represent his constituents to the peo-
pie, provided Maj Marks would do the
same thing.
Mai Marks accepted the challenge
promptly, and Gov. Mitchell as promptly
accepted their designations. The first set
back chat Mai. st. Clair-Abrams received
was the refusal of his party to renominate
him He decided to runas an INDEPENDENT.
Maj. Marks was renominated. his con-
stituents being glad, apparently, of a
chance 70 show their confidence in him.
Our dispatches Wednesday stated that
Mai. st. Clara brams had been defeated,
aud that Mai. Marks had been elected by a
big majority. Maj st. CIair-Abrams was
virtually told that his services were not
desired, and Maj. Marks was informed
that the people have confidence in him,
and that as legislator he is appreciated.
Maj. st. Clair-Abrams is brilliant man
and has good many admirers in Florida
The result of Tuesdays election, however,
is pretty satisfactory evidence that the
people of his senatorial district do not re-
gard him with favor His political career
may be considered as having ended with
the war of the two majors

State Ownership of Railroads.

State ownership has been tried by sew
eral of the states composing the Union in
limited way, but with Indifferent re-
suits. Illinois constructed a road at a
cost of about $1,000,000 but disposed of it
for 100000, anu Indiana, it seems, had a
similar experience. Georgia owns a rail-
road, but finds 1t expedient to lease it to
private company, Pennsylvania con-
structed q, railroad from Philadelphia to
Columbia, but subsequently sold it. and
several other states tried the experiment
without success

In the election on Wednesday the popu-

vote. On the other hand the democrats
were apathetic, and thousands of them did

an aggressive enemy is inexcusable The
democrats will have to wake up or they

In the October number of the North
American Review Mr.. Wilson, chairman of
the ways and means committee, has an ar
ticte on the issues of the pending congress
sional camgaign in which he says: Twice
only in twenty years have the American
people trusted themselves to a republican
house of represen Satives, that of 1881, with
Mr.. Keifer as speaker, ana that of 1889,
with Mr. Reed as speaker ana general auto
crat. How quickly and unanimously did
they repent their action, and by what tidal
waves Of uopular anger and disgust-un-
paralleled in our political coutests-did
they drive both of those houses out of
power as soon as they could get at them. "
If the republicans should get control of
the house again they would not retain it
long. The movement toward the Repub-
lean party in the east now and toward the
populist party in the south and west is
wholly due to the hard times.
for which the Democratic party is in
no respect responsible. As soon as
prosperity returns, and it is beginning TO
return, the wandering democrats will come
back to their old party, and the democracy
will be stronger than ever. The Demo
cratic party is the party of the people and
ishere to stay. The people become dissat-
ished with it at times, but they always
come back to il.
