There is the most cheering news
from South Dakota, showing that
there is not at present any reason
able doubt that the state will go for
Mckinley in the coming election.
Governor Pettigrew, under the guise
of a Republican had been honey
combing the state with free silver
ideas, but once the line was drawn
and the forces aligned against one
another Bryan and free silver against
protection, sound money and McKin-
ley the work of education begun.
Since then the freesilver sentiment
has been on the define and never so
rapidly as now. A very careful can
vass of the situation, made by those
whom it is safe to trust shows that
the state is safe for both state and
national tickets.

The British are making Roadway
Their artillery is too much for the
Dervishes and the stronghold of FL
Haffir was reluctantly abandoned by
the natives under the British fire.
Dongola is at last in the possession
of the AnglO-Egyptian army and
threre has been little loss in securing
it. Great Britain should take pos
session of that and the south country
and so occupy it as to make those fer
tile regions available for agricultu-
raj operations. The civilization of the
whole country could be effected in
time and it would add greatly to
British strength in the east. No 9TH
er nation can dispute ground in Afri-
ca with Great Britain, and there is
really more opportunity for empire
there and grand results than in her
larger empire in India.

Party telling runs so high in
Nebraska that the District court that
convenes in Omaha has under adj
visement the matter of not converting
until after election, as it is feared
that political feeling will so influence
juries that results will not be lust TO
litigants. This teaches that it will
be a great gain to the business and
courts of this country when elections
occur much less frequently than they
do now. 1t also shows that it is in
Bryans own peculiar baliwick that
the people are so bedeviled with the
imp of convention that their duties
as jurors cannot be properly perform

why not this:

Extended on a cross of wind:
Rest in peace henceforth his ashes:
He no more will fool the masses.

THE FIGURES GET BETTER.

THE FIG URES GEL BETTER.
There is a little webbing about that
Democratic vote and the lessons that
are to be derived from it in Maine.
The election figures that were given
here in the press rports showed only
a plurality of $1,000 for the Republic
can ticket while those published in
the eastern and northern papers show
that the plurality in the election of a
week ago was over $4,000. This tai
lies with the earlier reports which
stated that the results would show a
plurality for the Republicans of more
than $4,000 and that it might appro-
ximate $4,000. The figures that are
given by the Globe-Democrat of Sat
urday are Powers, Republican, 49,
573; Frank, Democratic, 34,S41. This
shows the Republican plurality to
have been 1872, which is 10000
more than the tremendous plurality
of 1894. These figures it will be seen
give the Republicans of the state 49,
573 votes, which is much more likely
than $4,000 given in the report sent
to the press here, and upon which
only a plurality of $4,000 was figured
out. While Republicans gain in
Arkansas, Vermont, and Maine.
Democrats in all these states lose or
gain less over previous elections than
the Republicans. Under this con-
dition it is difficult to figure out that
overwhelming victory of which the
Bryanites are apparently so conf
dent. There is growing ground for
the belief expressed ON the streets
here last week that Bryan would not
get within twenty-five percent of the
of votes in the electoral col
lege necessary to elect him. While
little stock is taken in the predictions
that New York will give Mckinley
GOO, 10000 majority or even half of that
or even One-third, and yet all these
majOrities are claimed, it is certain
that New York and all the east and
the northern middle states are going
70 swell the Mckinley column. There
has not been yet a single prediction
If the campaign so far made by the
Republican observers and managers
hat have not been verified as the
unfolds, and there is no
'easOn to hedge on the final result.
or it will be overwhelming for Nc
linley.

Advices from the extreme north
west of Minnesota, the Populist and
free silver hot-bed of the state, show
that the free silver craze that hit that
section so hard is losing grip. Near
ly twO-thirds of the voters in that sec
ton are on the fence, and vet three
weeks ago they were all in the silver
camp. There is no doubt that the
work that is done by sound money
missionaries and good Republicans is
bearing fruit and that fruit will appear

II is about conceded that with fair
count Virginia wopd be found All the
Republican column in November, as
the sound old Democrats of that state
are irreyocably opposed to the Chica-
go platform and the nondescript poll
tician who stands upon it. 1t may be
that fair count will be made this
year in Virginia, but it is altogether
dependent upon the control of the
voting precincts. If there is suffi-
cient sound money Democrats to con-
troll the election appointments the
count will be fair.

POpocratic harmony was strangled
in its little bed when Watson was

do not want harmony, at least not

they get is the empty baskets, in
which the Democratic eggs have been
carried to market. The Populists are
not likely to enthuse over ar invita-

number of votes, is smiled at. Won
der is expressed that he did not claim
New York in his figures, as he claim
