A Majority, Not Plural.t :.

In the late election Wm Mckinley
received not onlp plurality over Bry-
an. but large majority of the popular
vote. How larc4 this majority will be
is not certain as yet as the vote cast
for the Palmer and Buckner ticket
has not yet been reported, but it will
probably be in the neighborhood of
100000 votes.
| 1t is twenty-four years since a repub
llcan presidential candidate had ma
jority of the popular vote. In 1872
! Gen. Grant had a popular majority of
$4,000. -Four years later Hayes was
in a minority OF $4,000 Garfield s
plurality over Hancock in 1880 was
, only 1000 and @ lacked ove, 30O, 900 of
popular majority. In 1884 Cleveland
had d plurality Of 62.6s3. but he was
short 222, 600 OF a majority, and four
years later lie fell about the same
amount short of a majority. But in
the last presidential election Cleveland
fell further behind popular majority
than any man who has been placed in
the White House. He had $4,000 plu-
rality, but he failed of majority by
about $50, 900. 1t is one of the singular
results of the recent election that Nc
Kinley's popular majority, as indicat
ed by the present returns. will reach
nearly the same figure which Cleveland
lacked of q majority in 1892

announcing that work on the West Vir-

which Ronceverte and Lewisburg last

The contractors for the building of
the West Virginia Northern are the

clearing the right of way will begin
next Monday.
The route finally adopted for the
road runs eastward, paralleling the

the left, striking the level on the
Montgomery place, crossing the OFT

German War Dogs.

The Germans consider the efficiency
of their war dogs of such Importance
that an immense amount of labor is
expended in training them. They re-
the daytime. One important thing
they learn is to growl and not to bark
when stranger is near, and this is
taught them by practice in the dark
The hearing of a dog is more acute
and its alertness greater at night than
by day. An animal that can be count
ed on to growl on the approach of a
stranger, without giving an alarm, is
calculated to be particularly useful to
the sentinel. Watchfulness is Unborn
in the dog, and may be easily culti-
waited. The beast must be taught not
to bite under any circumstances
Fierce biting dogs are unsuitable for
military service.
The animals which are found best to
meet the requirements for "war dogs''
are poodles, shepherds and bird dogs.
The properly educated war dog must
carry messages with certainty, running
back from advanced patrols to detach-
ments in the rear and then returning,
to maintain communication between
sentinels and stationary troops. At
the approach of strangers the animal
gives notice to the sentinel by various
signals announcing either friend or
foe. Some dogs show peculiar apti-
tude for one or the other duty and are
trained for such end. The canine con-
tingent is expected to play it's part in
future battles and enjoys the personal
favor of the Kaiser.

LONDON, Nov. 1O.-Commenting OF
the recent election in the United States

LONDON, Nov. Accommodating on
the recent election in the United States
Henry Labonchere, in Truth, says:
'sAmerica's worst product is its dol
larocracy, whose members have literal
ly nothing to recommend them. The
orders are that either they or their
parents acquired huge fortunes by the
most questionable means. AS a rule
they are ignorant and vulgar, building
big houses in order to dazzle ostenta-
tions entertainments and buying pic
lures, for which they only care because
they have been acquired at high prices,
selling their souls to any one who will
enable them to hobnob with royalties
and their daughters to any one who
will confer title upon them, despising
their own country and institutions,
and regarding themselves as in every
respect superior to others an account
of their dollars. If the United States
is not to become mere plutocratic
and oligarchic power, these WORTHLESS,
who have increased and are increasing.

These changes would have given
every one of the nine States to Bryan,
and, adding their 60 votes to the 1877 he
got elsewhere, would have made his
strength in the electoral college 2S7-
three more than he needed to make
him President.
1t is a serious reflection that the
changing of only 25,393 votes-as a
matter of fact the change of 25,O26
votes would have accomplished the re-
Suits all that stood between the
election of Mckinley and the election
of Bryan. We commend this reflection
to the gentlemen who are throwing up
their hats and screaming themselves
black in the face with nonsense about
landslides and similar absurdities. Mr..
Mckinley got tremendous majorities
in New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Iowa, Michigan, and Illinois.
but in the rest of the country he had a
mighty narrow escape from defeat

Bryan Might Easily Have Won.

An examination of the figures of last
Tuesdays vote results in some very Gu
rious and interesting revelations. 1t
will be remembered that the Post,
from the very first, insisted that Bry-
ans chances were good, that at any
stage of the campaign his election was
a possibility, and that cKinley's elec-
ton, although we regarded it as high
ly probable, depended after all upon a
very narrow and uncertain margin. AS
unanswerable proof that we were right
in this. we now call attention to the
following table. showing how change
of little more than $4,000 votes, d istri-
buted over nine States, would have
elected Bryan, Notwithstanding bis
big maiorities elsewhere:
