As Levering Sees It.

Joshua lowering, the Prohibition can
didate for President of the United States,
being asked his views as to the results of
Tuesdays election, said:
81 think it settles for good" he said,
''the question as to the sort of money
standard which shall be used in this
country. 1t seems to me that the verdict
is SO emphatic that the question cannot
longer be considered open. There will be
q return of business confidence, but
whether there will be an immediate i'm
provement in business | cannot say.
There are factors other than that Of
the money standard which enter into the
problem.
81 think that Tuesdays victory will
help the Prohibition cause materially.
The breaking up of parties which has
occurred this year cannot fail to be of
advantage to the cause of temperance.
The voter will feel free in future to 60 in
any direction he chooses. From intelli-
gence which we have from various
sources, 1 believe that the people are
ready to do away with the liquor evil as
embodied In the legalized saloon. They
are ready to assert their belief that the
saloon is nuisance. inimical to the best
interests Of the country.
"The educational feature of the cam
paign which has just closed is as remark
able as it is gratifying. The result would
show that there cannot in future be that
fealty to party which heretofore amount
ed to idoltry-at least, not for years to
come. That is good omen.
81 cannot say as to the absolute gain
or loss in votes sustained by the Prohibi.
ton party. We did not expect much Of a
gain, but it will be advantageous to rs
in the way in which indicated"

Is There Irrigation In Mars9


1t would seem that the planet Mars
is now in a condition to which the earth
must come. 1t is struggling against the
gradual disappearance of water on its
surface and in it's atmosphere. There is
no weather there, for there is no rain
and there are no winds Dew in winter
is deposited on its poles in the form of
snow. The rest of the planet consists of
deserts with very slight elevations. The
inhabitants have met this state of things
by gigantic system of irrigation.
What we call canals are irrigated dis
tricts about 80 miles wide, with canal
running through them, from which wa
ter is distributed. Here and there are
large GASES of irrigation, and these GASES
are connected with each other by means
OF the canals. When the SHOWS Of the
poles melt. the melted water is distrib-
uted over the planet, and thus crops are
produced. The inhabitants store up
food and water for that part of the year
when there is neither water nor vegeta-
ton. So rarefied is the atmosphere that
one of these inhabitants can work at
one twentieth the exertion that it costs
us, or. in other words, perform with the
same expenditure of strength 20 times
the taSk.-London Truth.

To Mark A. Hanna, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and to
whose skill, ability and persistence Major
Mchiniey's success is largely due, the
New York Sun pays this tribute, and
coming from such source entities it to
more than ordinary weight: ITO the
unequalled organizer, amazing political
general, and supereminent nonpartisan,
MIR. Mark A. Hanna, Of Cleveland, Ohio,
this nation owes this morning the pro-
foundest gratitude. Not BECAUSE he had
the wit to pick out a winner in the
Republican ranks and tie loyalty and
energy to put his candidate through.
Not because he organized for victory
with scientific precision which has no
parallel in the history of Presidential
campaigns. Not because he conducted
the business in hand with a smoothness
like to that of the oil of Lucca, vigilance
that neglected no corner or y-place in
the vast territory over which his eyes
swept like searchlights, and a magma
nimity which kept his soul unruffisd and
his brain effective under personal abuse
the most vicious and brutal, perhaps,
which any man holding his post has eveI
had to encounter. His title to true great
ness and his certificate of lasting fame
are in this: Cheerfully and without hest.
tatioD, in the midst of a campaign
deliberately planned to follow certain pre-
arranged lines of management, he recog.
nized the commands of an authority
higher than that of Republican partisan
ship, and shaped his course accordingly. u

That old Republican coon roasted high
Wednesday morning.
"The enemy's country" seems to have
extended as far West as Nebraska.

The screaming qualities of the Ameri-

Wednesday morning.
If there was any cackling in
Wolfert's Roost it was lost in the loud
growing in the Republican poultry yard.
The complexion of the returns indicate
that the silver men will not even make q
good blockade in the next Congress.
Though it has been eight years since
the Republicans had chance to shout
over the election of President, they had
by no means forgotten the art. But as
the Democrats had their turn four years
ago, no one ought to begrudge them the
present opportunity, Turn about is fair
play.

Bryan's Wonderful Campaign.

William j. Bryan has made the most
remarkable campaign ever known in the
history Of politics in this, OF any other
country OF the world. He was fohi.
mated at Chicago on the 10Th of JulyIend
since that time he has travelled 1881
miles, delivered 500 speeches in AT towns
and cities, covering 81 States. 1t is esti-
mated also that his audiences aggregated
over 1000, 600 of people. vss
Until 1860 no Presidential candidate
had ever taken the stump, but Stephen A.

and was one of the ablest disputants this
nation ever produced, took to the hnStings

try from New Orleans to New ENGLAND,
travelling 5000 miles. and delivering 65
speeches. Lincoln, who was then regarded
as the only man able to cope with Dug

wrote no letters. except those of Imere
courtesy, from the time of.his nomlbhtion
until his election. In IS "a Lincoih and
Mcclellan were the candidates, andSELin.

450 miles. Mcclellan made 2l,brief

travel at all. - s.'',s..l. " sss:.s.
In 1868 Grant made speeches, notable
chiefly for their brevity, and travelled over
5000 miles. Seymour, his competitor,
travelled over 1, 600 miles and delivered 8
speeches. 10 1872 Grant did not travel at
all and made no speeches, while Greeley
travelled over 1000 miles and delivered 10
speeches.
In 1876 Tilden made Q very brief
speeches and did not leave New York,
while Hayes delivered speeches and
travelled about 1, 500 miles. In 1886 Gar
field Travelled 1890 miles during the cam
paign and delivered 81 speeches, while
Hancock did not leave his headquarters
aud delivered only 2 very brief speeches.
In 1884 Blaine travelled nearly 5000

Cleveland delivered brief speeches and
travelled but 300 miles. In 1883 Cleveland

East, to Charlotte and Memphis in the
South, and West to Grand Island in the

The Election Result.

The result of the election Tuesday was
one of those revulsions of popular senti-
ment that sweep over the country like a
whirlwind, upsetting existing political
conditions and ushering in new era.
The contest was drawn battle from the
Louis and Chicago, and the fact that it
was waged almost wholly on the merits
of the money question linked it most
vitality with every public and private
interest and gave an intensity to the
peaceful war that moro fully aroused the
people all over the country than any issue
that has been up for settlement since the
stirring days of the war and the recon-
struction period following that terrible
strife. But, happily, the ballot-box is
the adjudicator of all public questions.
and when the people have spoken through
this medium the majority vote bee ONES
the voice of the people, and all yield
loyal obedience to it. All the Eastern
and Middle States return phenomenal
msiorities for the cause of sound money
and American protection, while the tidal
wave submerged the belt of States known
as the Middle West, and even penetrated
into the "solid South" thus insuring the
election of Mckinley and Hobart by a
handsome majority in the electoral co.,
lege, though some of the papers favorable
to Mr.. Bryan affect to claim that it will
require the official count in some of the
States of the West, now claimed for
Mckinley, to decide who shall have their
electoral vote.
In addition to the election of Mckinley
and Hobart, majority in the next Con-
gress will be favorable to the cause of
sound money, thus giving to the new
President the proper support in the work
of his administration.
The most wonderful change of this
most remarkable result is to be found in
New Jersey, where the people seem to
have voted almost solidly for the Repub.
lican ticket, rolling up majority of
$1,000 for Mckinley and Hobart-some-
thing never before dreamed of-also
rs-electing the entire Republican delega-
tion to Congress and making the Legisla-
ture almost solidly Republican.
There is. of course, meaning to a
result SO pronounced, and it cannot be
other than that the American people are
in favor of sound currency and the
policy of protective tariff for American
industries.
The trust thus committed to President
Mckinley and Republican Congress is
an important one, and the people will
expect it to be wisely administered. If
it is not they will turn it over to some
body else four years hence. However,
Mr.. Mckinley has had wide experience
in public affairs, and the party back of
him has heretofore shown itself able to
govern the country wisely, and we conf
IDENTIFY look not only for successful
but for an era of pros
perity and industrial enterprise.

Pasteur and silkworms.

A disease broke out among the silk
worms of France in 1853 which threat
ened to ruin the business. In 1868 a
government commission was appointed
to inquire into the cause of the evil and
suggest remedy, when, by the labors
of Pasteur, the disease was found to be
due to microbes developed in the bodies
of the silkworms; Pasteur was fortunate
enough to discover remedy, and the
silk industry of France soon resumed
its former prosperity.
