No doubt many. who have not paid close
attention to the issues in New York city,
entertain the belief that the election Of
the Tammany ticket last Tuesday means
Tammany's return to power in that city.
The result Of Tuesdays election did not
give Tammany control OF the city. The
officers voted for were judges, county Of
ficers and members of the legislature. II
the issue had been squarely between Tam
many and anti-Tammany for the control
OF the city. as it was in 1894, when the
present mayor and aldermen were elected.
the result might have been different, be-
cause it is not probable that the people
have changed their views of Tammany's
administration Of city affairs. 1t is true
that the contest was between Tammany
and antl-Tammany on Tuesday, but the
issue was not the control Of the city.
But it is not improbable that the anti
Tammanyites would have defeated Tam
many on Tuesday. if it had not been for
the great dissatisfaction with the reform
city administration because of the man
ner in which il is enforcing the Sunday
saloon law. Police Commissioner Roose-
welt has charge of the enforcement of
that law and he has enforced it in
way to make political enemies of ali the
beer drinkers of the city He has closed
sible to get a glass of beer in any of
them on Sundays. DR.. Parkhurst and
other reformers, together with the lead
ing newspapers, say that those who want
beer on Sundays gave Tammany its VIC
tory on Tuesday.
1t is apparent. therefore, that unless the
Sunday law is amended, so that for an
hour or two on Sundays beer can be OBJ
tanned, Tammany will be given the con-
troll Of the city again at the next NUM-
cipal election.
What the beer drinking people are clam
oring for is this. namely, the right to
regulate the sale of liquor and beer in
the cities. In other words, they want To-
cal option.
The legislature of New York is repubn-
can, and the question is likely to come
before it next winter, whether it is bet
ter to let Tammany get control of the
city and open the saloons on Sundays, or
amend the Sunday liquor law so as to al
low some privileges to the beer drinkers,
and thus keep the city in the control of
the anti-Tammanyites. The question is
an interesting one, and if it is looked at
in practical way it is probable the ex-
else law will be so amended that the beer
drinkers will be satisfied and vote against
Tammany.

PopuIIsm and Free silver.

Two things were quite plainly shown
by Tuesdays elections. one is that popu-
lism is losing its grip and the other is
that very little will be heard about the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver in
the national contest next year. The pop
ulists were about as strong in Nebraska
as in any other state. They made a very
poor showing there on Tuesday. In Omaha.
the chief city Of Nebraska. the populist
party seems 10 have gone to pieces.
The populist party is the only one that
has favored free and unlimit-
ed silver coinage in its ma
tional platform. It's orators and
newspapers kept the silver question be-
fore the people Of Nebraska in the re-
cent campaign. Free silver coinage. in
stead of strengthening it. seems to have
done IT great damage. It's ticket failed
in getting anywhere near the usual pOpu-
list vote. In Mississippi and everywhere
else where they had a ticket the popu-
lists were badly beaten. The truth is,
the populist party is a hard times party.
IT fourishes only when the times are
hard. and the people are hunting for
the means OF Furnishing those they think
responsible for their misfortunes. When
better times come they have no use for
such a party. More prosperous times
have come, and, consequently. the pOpu-
list party is losing its supporters.
There is a lesson for the Democratic
party in the result of Tuesdays ballot
ing 1t is that the people are not going to
put into power a party that favors, or is
likely to favor. free and unlimited coinage
of silver. They want sound money, and
are going to support the party that makes
the clearest and strongest sound money
declaration. That was clearly demon
strated in the Kentucky election In that
state thousands of democrats did not go
to the polls because they did not want
to vote for a candidate who, contrary to
the declaration of his party. took posi-
ton against sound money. and thousands
Of others voted the republican ticket
because the head of that ticket, from the
beginning to the end of the campaign.
declared himself in favor of sound money
No doubt local issues in some of
the states contributed to democratic de-
feat. but the unsound money sentiment
among the democrats in many of the
southern and western states influenced
many voters in all parts of the country
to cast their ballots for the republican
ticket. The chance of success of the
democrats next year depends largely upon
their party taking a firm stand for sound
money. A declaration in favor of free
and unlimited silver coinage would mean
overwhelming defeat, while a clear and
unequivocal declaration for sound money
might be the means of giving their party
the victory

A Canine Financier.

A friend in East Orange has a collie to
whom he is greatly attached, writes q
correspondent of the New York Post. The
dog is uneducated, so far as the usual ac-
comphshments of his particular breed are
concerned, and has never been taught to
fetch and carry. A few mornings since,
his master, starting for the railway sta
ton, was confronted, on opening the door
of his house, by 'Shep." The brute's eager
expectancy of manner drew attention to
an object in his mouth, which, on eXami-
nation, proved to be a roll of dollar bills.
Although "Shep'' has been in his mas
ters possession many years, he was never
before known to retrieve anything. The
question arises: Did canine instinct re-
ceive the impression of the value of those
bits of paper discovered in a mornings
gambol? The bills had not been dropped
by any member of the household, and
must consequently have been found out
side the boundaries of the premises.

The Cubans are right in the stand they
have taken for larger liberty. They are
entitled to local self-government. They
are therefore entitled to the sympathy
of all Americans and to the moral sup
port of the United States. But any at
tempt to involve this country in war
with Spain in their behalf would be in
the highest degree criminal Our tradi-
tional policy is to sympathize with the
oppressed Of all nations. to maintain
friendly relations with all countries which

together the possibility Of ENHANCEMENT

they had never dreamed of finding here

these visits will result in vast good to
