YESTERDAYS ELECTION.

There was good degree of interest
manifested i'll the election yesterday. and
a fair-sized vote was polled. The storm
centre, SO to speak, was in8 Ward g.
where there was a triangular contest over
school committee, and a special effort to
eject the Democratic Candidate for alder
man. Tn Ward Z there was considerable
cutting of one of the Republican candi-
dates for councilman. In the other
wards the voting was, for The most part,
straight. The total vote for mayor was
21T less than last year. The Republican
vote fell off All, and the Democratic
vote increa sed 1872. The prohi 5ition
vote showed u gain of is. Mr. Baxter's
majority over all is nearly 500, re-
markable majority i'll view of the fact
that Mr.. Baxter was running for third
term, and that very popular Demo
crat was running against him Proba
bly, the bad weather cut down the Re-
publican vote somewhat, and in larger
proportion than the Democratic. The
Repu blicans elect all their ward officers
in all the wards but two and four, 80
that the Board of Aldermen will stand
five Repu plicans and two Democrats,
and the Common Council Is Republic
cans and 6 Democrats. The Repuhli-
cans elect their candidates for school
committee in Ward Z, and the Demcra is
theirs in Wards and 4. In Ward
there was no election, Mrs. Hunt draw
ing heavily from the Republican candi-
date, and somewhat from the Democrat
ic, and receiving vote which, under
the circumstances, was remarkable lie. A
new election will be necessary
The victory exceeds in its completeness
the expectations of Republicans, oand is
an endorsement Of Mayor Baxter's ad-
ministration of which he may well be
proud. 1t was won with slight effort,
and entirely upon the merits of the adj
ministration's conduct of the city's b u.s.
mess. With little more exertion to get
out the Repu blican voters, many of
whom did not go to the polls simply be-
cause they felt the result was a foregone
conclusion, the majority might have
been largely increased.

The life of the Fifty-third Congress
terminated at noon yesterday. There
were no tears shed. Indeed the country
has been watching and waiting for the
dying moments with intense impatience
A do-nothing Congress is the phrase gen.
orally applied to it, and it is applied not
in spirit of commentator. And yet
when the country considers the charac-
ter of the few things it has done it can
feel only joy that it did no more. 1t is
one OF the few Congresses that has failed
to find defenders even among its own
political friends. Tie Democrats have
condemned it almost as severely as the
Republicans. Last fall's slump in the
Democratic vote throughout the country
was but an expression of disgust at Its
surrender to trusts, it's quarrelings and
its failure to keep its most solemn pledg'

The Hawaiian government have COM
rnuted ali the sentences of death i'm
posed by the court martial to long terms
of Imprisonment and heavy fines. Half
a dozen of the leaders of the rebellion
get from 25 to- IS years in prison, and
from IS. 900 to $4,000 fines each. The
ex-Queen gets eff comparatively easy, her
term of imprisonment being only three
years. President Dole was wise doubt
less in amending the sentences Of the
court martial. The restraining infu-
ence of executions would have been no
greater than.that of the long terms of
imprisonment imposed, while they would
have lessened the respect of governments
abroad and inspired many of the people
on the island with an unquen hable
passion for revenge.
