The EleCtiOns.

The result of Tuesdays elections in thir-
teen states may be summed mp in the state
ment that it was Republican year, and
that there is nowhere any sign of set
back in the great tide of Republican vic
tory which swept over the country year
ago. The only disappointment is in the
success of Tammany in New York city,
yet this does not dislodge the present city
government which will continue to insure
honest elections. Against this one blot on
the general result must be set the hand
some triumph of the Republican ticket in
the state, the placing of New Jersey, for
so many years the one immovable northern
Democratic state, in the Republican col
umn, and the success of the Republicans
in two southern states, Maryland and Ken
lucky. The fact that the Republicans
have carried the legislatures of New York,
Ohio and Maryland assures the choice of
Republican United States senator in each
of those states in 1897, to succeed Demo
crat in each case, and this assures control
of the Senate by the Republicans.
If the Democrats cherished any hope or
expectation that popular opposition to
them and their economic and financial poll
cies had subsidized, and that they would
have fighting chance for success in next
years national contest, they have found
out their mistake. There is no gainsay-
ing the fact that the result of Tuesdays
elections shows that the popular majority
is overwhelmingly against the Democratic
policy as it has been exemplifed for two
years past, and that the people have no
sort of intention of again giving control of
the affairs of the country to that party.

The state department has a cable de-
spatch from Minister Terrell, at Constanti-
nople, stating that certain Kurds and Ar
menians have been arrested for the murder
of Frank Lenz, the young Pittsburg BIZ
cyclist, who was engaged in making tour
of the world on his wheel when he was
killed. Mr.. Terrell says that the alleged
murderers are to be tried at Ezeroum, and
that the United States government will be
represented at the trial by the British con-
sui.
Chief Hazen of the secret service is to be
congratulated on the way he has final ly
broken up the Brockway gang of counter
feiters. The disclosures of DIR. Bradford
have led to the discovery of six very valua-
BILE plates used in counterfeiting, and about
81 ZOO, 900 of bad money nearly ready for
circulation. The securing of these mate
rials and this amount of bad money, and
the locking up of Bradford and Brockway,
the former of whom did not entirely escape
Imprisonment by his confessions, will put
a large stopper on the circulation of bogus
money for some time to come.
Two suits of Louisiana sugar growers
h ave been filed in the United States cir
cult court as test cases to decide the ques-
tion of the two sugar bounty appropria-
tions of $23S,000 and $5,0OO,00O which
were killed by the adverse decision of
Comptroller Bowler some time ago. One
is for bounty earned prior to August 2s,
1894, and the other for bounty earned be-
tween that date and July 1, 1895. The
treasury department at Washington prom
ises to help to hurry the cases along, and
it is thought that, after decision in the
lower court, they will be in the hands of
the United States supreme court early in
December.

ner bastard child at Bellows Falls During the
forenoon jury was empanelled and sworn and
on the reassembling of the court in the after

secretly delivered of bastard child that il was
born alive and was killed by means of stranpula-
tlon' after which it was placed in an empty starch
box, the box wrapped in some pieces OF Clothing
and paper and by her thrown into Saxtons River

The evidence in behalf Of the respondent tended

50 oorh was disposed of in the manner above de-
tailed The case is still on trial and will probably
last the rest of the week. The main points of the

OF her arrest, and the testimony of the physi-
cians' The court admitted as evidence for the

What the Elections Mean for the DEM
Ocratic Party.
From the Springfield Republican

From the Springfield Republican.
The severest disappointment the Dem
ocrats suffered in Tuesdays elections was
not their defeat. They expected to elect
very few of their candidates, but the more
sanguine of them were hopeful that the
momentum of the tidal wave of '94 had
spent itself, and that Democratic gains
compared with that year would show the
party to be rapidly recuperating from its
terrible punishment This hope was not
realized. The future is dark for the Dem
ocratic party. The United States Senate
has passed from their control for a num-
Der of years. Tuesdays elections made it
certain that Republicans will succeed Sen
ators Gibson of Maryland and Brice of
Ohio, while it is hardly less sure that Hill
of New York must retire in 1897. AS the
Senate stands now only 80 Democrats con-
front 43 Republicans, and the prospect
that Senators Palmer of Illinois, Villas of
Wisconsin and PETER of Kansas will also
be succeeded by Republicans renders an
other Democratic Senate remote possi-
bility. Nothing short of political convul-
sion, such as we felt in 1890, 1892 and 1894,
can imperil the Republican grip on the
upper house, and even another somersault
in the political sentiment of the country
will be felt in the Senate last of all, so that
the time when the Democratic party will
again have full power to guide the destinies
of the American people seems far away.

The New York Suns estimate of the re-
suit of Tuesdays voting is very much to
the point: "The election reveals the Re-
publican strength in the nation, compared
with the Democratic strength, as abnor-
mally great. The landslide of 1894 is still
sliding"

That New Castle county has paid out In
the past much money which was unneces-
sary and contrary to law was claimed at e
meeting OF the Levy Court yesterday. That
something was wrong was first discovered
at the last meeting OF the commissioners
when the bills were presented for payment.
Among them were the bills OF the late
Mayor Frank Herbert and Sheriff Paul
Gillis for issuing commitments and board
OF prisoners The bills each amounted to
$2I594 for commitments and board during
the months OF February and March. In
going over the commitments 1t was found
that 1872 were unsigned. The commission
ers at once saw that something was wrong
and laid the matter over until the meeting
held yesterday. They found condition OF
affairs that was too complicated to be un-
travelled at one meeting. Action will be
taken this morning.
1t was discovered that Mr. Herbert had
charged for committing the men and feed
Ing them. The sheriff had charged also
for committing and feeding the same men.
Twenty cents was charged for tho meals
served each man and SO cents for the COM
mitment.
In investigating the matter 1t was found
that the commitments would be filled out
by prisoner in the jail and when a num-
Der had been collected they would be
signed by New Castles mayor. All OF the
commitments were for Migrants who had
been sentenced for short terms or had APP
piled at the jail for lodging.
Had 1t not been for the death of Mr.. Her
bert this condition Of affairs would in all
probability never have been discovered.
The sheriff was represented by Philip Q.
Churchman .s.
The law bearing on the case is found on
pages 42S and 424. chapter $40, volume 10,
Laws OF Delaware. 1t says that destitute
tramp or vagrant may be committed to
jail upon application to the jail commits
sioner, he to be the sole judge of the appli-
cants need. The sheriff is entitled to ice
for board.
The members do not see how Mr.. Herbert
could be entitled to fees, as he did not
board and in their opinion had no right to
commit prisoners. Final action will be
taken this morning.

Richard q. Howard charged with using

purposes on the 18th day OF juno was
dismissed. The case took up nearly all
Of the morning session Of the Municipal
Court and MIR. Howard had quite a mum.
Dor of with essea TO prove that he was out
OF the city on the date when the law was
violated. His Attorneys, Lewis @ vnnde-
q rift and William s. Prickett. made quite
an eloquent plea for the dismissal OF the
case as the evidence did not warrant the
holding OF the prisoner for tho upper
court. II II is true that the girl Is only Is
years OF age somebody should be made to
suffer for her wrong doing and the girl
put In tho care OF the Society for preven-
tion Of Cruelty to Children. 1t Is too bad
that such young girl, q mere child,
should be harbored In house OF lll-fame
in our city. to sell her body aud soul to
who ever wishes to purchase for their
beastly qualification. The prisoner II. G..
Howard testified that he had never seen
the girl until he was arrested. That he
was In Portsmouth on June 18th, the date
which the warrant charged him with com.
hitting the offence. The girl on the other
hand identified Mr.. Howard and swore
positively that he committed the offense

upon which he was arrested. Thus the
