THE CASTLE CASE.

The most obvious comment TO be made upon
the result OF the Castle trial In London Is that
IT Is about the best possible ending Of Singh
larry deplorable case. Ii IL. indeed. the ending
which most judcious minded people have ex-
pccted. Soon after the arrest OF MIR and Mrs.
Castle general belief arose that Mr.. Castle was
innocent and that Mrs Castle. while technically
guilty was in such state Of physical and men
tai health rs rendered her morally irresponsible.
or N least incapable OF approaching the real
natur. of her acts. This belief has steadily
grown in strength 1t was confirmed by expert
testimony in court. and has been established he

In view Of the strong testimony 10 Mrs.
Castles responsibility. To which no rebuttal
was offered. some have imagined that the jury
should have acquitted her Ii could not do so
under English law. but on the contrary. was
compelled TO lind her guilty The proof that she
was not responsible was the very thing that in

fact aud was thus placed in curious predlca-
ment II he tried 10 secure Ter acquittal on the
ground that she did not take the goods he was
sure to fall for the proof tina, she did take them

took them but was not responsible for her con
duct he would only make sure Of her conviction.
But the latter course seemed the less OF the TWO
evils and II was adopted. The unfortunate
woman's irresponsible condition was proved
plea Of guilty" was entered In her behalf. and
She was thrown upon the mercy of the Court.
I'll. Court seems 10 have acted handsomely in
The matter, from beginning 10 end. Its first duty
was OF course, to administer exact and cqua,
Justice This II did To some il may seem
harsh 10 deal with persons Of wealth and social
standing just rs with The penncss and I'M

do. 1t must he mo rcspecter of persons. When
the time came when more gracious demcanor
was betting the Court improved the occasion
without reluctance. The jury was directed To
declare Mr. Castle mot guilty" and he was hon
orably discharged. Mrs. Castle was necessarily
found guilty. and necessarily sentenced. The
Judge however. made the utmost manifestation
of sympathy consistent with his place. imposed
q light sentence. and minated that, on review
by the Home Office. even that sentence would
be practically RENTED by release of the prs-
her own rccognizancc. An announce
ment of such action may speedily be expected,
and thus VIII end the whole unhappy and pain
full affair.

BRYAV'S FAREWELL ADDRESS.

In taking his leave Of the forces whose candi-
date he was. and whose leader he probably still
expects to be. Mr.. Bryan offers a word Of hope
and encouragement" With reference to this
offering it may be enough to say that it Is highly
imaginative. He observes: "The loss OF a few
Estates, and ,ba:. too, by very small plurality,
has defeated bmetallsm for the present, but
''bimetasm energies from the contest stronger
than it was four months ago" Just what sort
Mr. Bryan we lave no means Of knowing, l.ut
If Mr.. Bryan will consult the returns upon which
all the rest os the world relies he will perceive
that he has been defeated. not by very small
pluraties in q few States, but by an impregA
nable majority of electors chosen by enormous
pluraltics. II every State about which there
has been the faintest doubt since Tuesday night,
and all others which by any stretch Of fancy
could be called close, be left wholly out Of the
reckoning. Mckinley and Hobart still retain an
ample margin Of electors with such pluralities
behind them a. must to every rational mind pre-
clude all hope Of reversal hereafter Mr.. Bry
ans extraordinary preference for fiction rather
than fact does not seem to have been weakened
by disaster.
Outside of this and other vagaries Mr. Bryan's
farewell address contains many statements
which do him no credit hut It Is not important
to consider longer his stale stock OF ISLANDERS. in
Guiding tho preposterous rubbish about coercion.
There is however. one Snug assertion which It
is desirable to contradict at once and explicitly.

THE MAIN FACT.

In the light of the electoral VOTE it is easy 10
see how grossly the Popocrats deceived them
selves, and how little ground there has been FOR
the intense anxiety which has prevailed in busl-
ness circles. Putting aside all disputed States.
Mckinley has at least 2I3 electoral votes, or ~
more than enough to elect. Only I'VE States,
with 81 electoral votes, were carried by majori-
ties narrow enough to warrant any notion mat
they could have been carried by Bryan The
slender majorities I'm California. Delaware Ken
lucky North Dakota and Oregon might have
been overcome. and it is quite conceivable that
men relying solely upon information from Popo-
Gratis in those States were led to believe that
each of them would go for Bryan 1t is equally
easy to see how Republicans felt strong CONF
dence in State reports declaring Mckinley ccr@
tain Of success in South Dakota and Wyoming,
which are close; in Kansas, Nebraska and Wash
ington where the majorities are relatively small,
and in Tennessee and North Carolina. where the
Southern mode Of holding elections is being
yisibly applied though IL honestly counted the
electors Of those States would go TO Mckinley.
Here were sc votes expected by the Republicans,
and 80 by the POpocrats, from States which We're
really close, so that relatively small changes
might have determined the result in those states.
But when all this Is seen, the fact comes out
with great distinctness that the States in which
Bryan had not the faintcst chance OF success
were sufficient to insure the election .: Mckinley
with II votes to spare Enormous maiorltes in
all the England aud Middle States. Mary
land and West Virginia. in every Central West
ern State east Of the Mississippi, and in Iowa
and Minnesota, prove beyond question that the
Republicans knew the actual condition of those
states, the feeling and purpose Of the people i'll
them. and were therefore entirely justified in
believing that McKinley's election was certain.
The results also proved that Bryan and his sup
porters cheated themselves from the start With
notions which had no basis of truth whatever.
They acted 10 the end as IL they really believed
they could carry Illinois, with its magnificent
majority of 10000 against them, and when the
number of votes cast is considered The majority
+ In all the Central Western States was heavy
enough to remove all reasonable doubi.
The result also shows that Mr.. Bryan aid his
associates grossly deceived themselves regard
Ing the effects OF the policy they deliberately
adopted. 1t Is now notorious that Mr.. Bryan
and at least a part of his supporters counted
upon carrying Ncw-York and some Of the East
srn States by the aid OF labor organizations
which some pretended representatives claimed
they could control. How much money was
. MIXED from the silver mlonaIrcs by these
representations is OF no consequence. but 1t is
now evident that the pretended labor leaders
either deliberately falsined or that they knew
.-7ao<hing Of the resl feeling and purpose OF the
(; men they chained to represent. All the appeals

feeling, and to the ignorance and prejudice OF
wOrkingmen, resulted in the tremendous hostile
majorities recorded in Pennsylvania, New-iork.
Massachusetts, New-Jersey and other eastern
States. 1t cannot be imagined by anybody that
such majOritcs could have been cast by any pos
sibility without the aid Of great proportion OF
the wage-earners. who are. III 1act the great
majority of the voters in these States. The Bry-
an campaign made war on that vast D0dy OF
voters from the start by threatening to cut in
two the dollar in which their wages were paid
The result ought 10 he instructive for all time
to come.
In the light Of these votes 1t may be SET uoWh
as certain that neither the silver craze nor the
appeal to the supposed preiudces and class feel
ings of wOrkngmen can shake the support vi
the Government by States having much more
than a majority of the electoral vote. ms Is
the one important fact which this election mas
brought ont with remarkable distincneSs, ana
if is in the highest degree important because OF
the influence which it will exert on the futurc
action and attitude Of parties. 1t is not as II the
silver question had been presented to the people
of these States for the first time. Records show
that at one time the majority of votes from Penn
sylvania favored silver coinage, and much later
the majority both in Ohio and the other Central
Western States in like manner we have only
10 90 back four years TO find very dinerent re-
suits following an appeal 70 the class feeling ana
prejudice of working people. The position now
taken by overwhelming majoritics in those States
gives n sense Of security which has not existed
before for many years.
