Lockport, n. Y. has just been swept

election the Republicans carried il by
a large majority. This is the general
trend of things political in New York.
or course, the Raines law is largely re-

Il is to be said for the candidates for
Democratic nominations in Ohio
county, that they have conducted a
quiet, decent campaign. free from the
disgusting and disreputable beer-swill-
ing and Doodle features. and in very
marked contrast TO the campaign of the
Republican aspirants. The Democrats
have been making no hurrah, but they
are in dead earnest and the primaries
next Saturday-day after tomorrow
promise to show a full turnout of the
party.

Electoral M~J~.4

On the suppositiOn that as the
vote now actually stands, Mckinley
will get 275 electoral votes, the
taking away of these SO electoral
votes would leave him but 222;
while the addition of the SO to
Bryan's 172 would give him 225,
which would elect. The popular
majorities for Mckinley in the
States necessary to make this change
ot SO electoral votes is 4S,300; take
$4,000 away from this and add it to
the Bryan vote in the same States,
and there would be Bryan MAORI
ties aggregating 100; not very
much, to be sure, but enough-if it
could be that way.-Salt Lake

Ir will be some time before the
fate of the equal suffrage amend
ment is known. The amendment
has a large majority in lis favor of
the votes cast for and against it, but
not majority Of all those voting
at the election. The constitution is
not plain whether a majority Of
those voting on the amendment, or
a majority Of all the votes cast, is
required. The matter will have to
be tested in the courts. The other
two amendments are probably in
the same status. Ifthe court should
decide that a majority of all those
voting is required, it is plain that
the only way the people of Idaho
will ever be able to amend their
constitution is by constitutional
convention, which would be very
expensive proceeding.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
How TO GUARD AGAINsTTH DISEASE.
Group is a terror to young moth
ers and to post them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and treat
ment is the object OF this item. The
origin Of Group is a common cold.
Children who are subject to it take
cold very easily and Group is al
most sure to follow. The first
symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed bya peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when
the child becomes hoarse. IfCham-
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will
soon disappear. Even after the
croupy cough has developed it will
prevent the attack. There is no
danger in giving this remedy for it
contains nothing injurious. For

The Boise Statesman, the leading
gold bug paper of the state, serves
notice on the Idaho pie eaters that
they will ask for Office in vain, ex-
cept such offices as a very few Of
the big ones" may get. This will
come as cold comfort to some people
the HERALD could name who
espoused the gold cause in the hope
of getting an office of some kind
The Boise paper points out that the
fat man now in the presidential
chair has placed nearly every thing
under civil service rules that does
not have to be confirmed by the
senate, and says that Mckinley
will not only not undo what Grover
has done, but will extend the civil
service law as far as possible. The
Statesman advises the boys to look
for other Jobs, and it advice may
be regarded as official.

UTAH has a woman senator,

UTAH has woman senator, Her
name is Martha Huges Cannon.
She is a Norman lady, and the
fourth wife of Elder Angus NJ. Can
non, high dignatary in the Nor
man church. A peculiar feature
of Mrs. Cannon's election is that
her opponent for the honor was her
quarter husband, and she beat him
in the race by some 1000 votes.
She is democrat while the Elder
is a republican. She is a bright
woman and takes great interest in
public and social affairs. She up
holds polygamy, strange to say.
The country will listen breath
lessly to the report of Martha Huges'
cannon when she trains it against
some of the smarties among the

A Close Vote.

The statement having been made
that a change of $4,000 votes or less
at the recent election would have
changed the result, queries have
been received asking how this could
be- The following table shows the
figures; it gives the electoral votes
of the States dealt with, and the
majorities reported in each for Nc
Kinley, and though perhaps not
officially exact, they illustrate the
point:

Northern management was on the
point Of sending large grading
outfit to this place once this fall to
raise the track between Miro r
Lake trestle and Leonia, but that
at the last moment the plans were
changed, owing to the force being
needed to repair the road at an
Their point. The work Of raising
the track is decided upon and will
probably be attended to early next
season. 1t will be big job.

Dyspepsia

The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

OUR BEER RECORD.
Tho Production Last Year Greater Than
That of the Preceding.


That of the Preceding.
On Nov. l of every year the organized
brewers of the country get from the in
ternal revenue bureau statement il
detail of the brewing business of the
country, which yields $50, 1000, 900 a
year in government taxes. This yenr' 5
figures are just at hand. The total con.
sumption of beer in the United States
for the present fiscal year-fgured up
10 July WAS 33, 400, 661 barrels, an
increase over the consumption of yeaJ
ago Of 1911 900 barrels This years fig
ures. while in excess of those of last
year. are less than the total consumption
Of 1898, which was 33, S22, S72 barrels.
A barrel of beer in brewers measure,
Is about Il gallons. The consumption
Of lager beer in the United States is
therefore in excess Of 1 900, 900, 900 gGl-
Ions. These figures put the United
States abreast with Germany, supposed
by many to be the favored land Of beer
drinkers, but still behind Great Britain,
which is at the head Of all countries,
with an annual consumption of l,S00,-
900, 900 gallons
The consumption of beer throughout
the United States varies greatly. 1t is
largest in New York, Pennsylvania. IL
hnois and Wisconsin, and least in the
southern and prohibition states. In Kan
sas, prohibition state, the sale Of beer
last year footed up less than 5000 bar
rels, whereas, the total sales in the city
of Milwaukee were 1000, 600 barrels
There are in ell 20, 00O breweries in
the world, of which nearly 30. 900 are
in Germany Great Britain follows with
10. 900, and then tho United States with
5000. 1t is one of the peouliarities Of
the beer business, not found in the mer-
camille business generally, that the pro-
duotion and the consumption of beer in
each country are substantially the same.
In other words, there is very little COM
MERGE in beer. Only ono country brews
more beer than il consumes. That is
Germany. Only one country consumes
more beer than it produces. That is
France. In the United States thu figures |
Of consumption and production are very
nearly the same. and the small difference
Is duo TO the importation of German
beer. which has been observed during
the last five or six years. The production
OF American beer, of genuine aud adj
mitted domestic manufacture, has in
creased so per cent since 1888.
