No war with spain.
From the Chicago Record Qnd).

Spain is in no condition to fight the
United States, and viii not attempt it.
She has neither men. money nor credit,
and therefore she could not undertake a
war with a powerful nation even II she
would. President Cleveland has shown
no disposition or desire to engage in a
war with Spain, and he may be expected
to adhere to that policy The business In
terests Of the country have suffered
enough from apprehensions OF impend-
ing calamity. They should now be left
free at least from palpably false rumors
of evils to befal Their

Camnnign Finds.

If the New York World has correct in
formation in respect TO the campaign fund
Of each of the parties the democrats had
about as much money to spend as the re-
publicans. That paper says that Mr..
Hanna, chairman of the national republic
can committee, had at his disposal 81, 500. 600
Besides this sum great deal of money was
raised and spent by state and county COM
mittees.
A large part of the money raised for the
democratic campaign did not go into the
possession of Chairman Jones of the ma
tional democratic committee. 1t is said
that the silver mine owners of five silver
states raised $1,2OOOO0, the sugar trust is
said to have contributed $4,000, Mr. Sew
all 5000 and a number of rich men $685., 600
The silver mine owners had the handling
of great deal of the money which they
contributed and it is understood that some
of the other subscriptions were spent in
localities designated by the subscribers.
1t Is difficult to credit the statement of
the World that the democrats had very
nearly as much money as the republicans.
AZ no tliHt ihS tllc campaign was IL
stated that the republicans were in need of
money, while it was frequently announced
in the public prints that the treasury of
the democrats was empty. The PROBABLE
tiles are that the Worlds figures are esti-
mates based upon a few scraps of infor-
nation picked up here and there. 1t is
quite evident that the leaders Of neither
party would care to have It known how
much money they spent.
1t is alleged that the largest individual
subscription was made by William X.
Vanderbilt 200. Cornelius Vanderbilt
is credited with having contributed 500 900.
If other rich men OF the east We're as lib
eral in proportion to their wealth 1t is safe
| to say that there was contributed TO the
republican cause more than S2.5OO,OOO.
1t has,not been stated whether or not the
democratic committee was In debt when
the campaign ended. The chances are that
II was. The republican committee, so it is
said, had a surplus of $4,000 after all bills
were paid
II is doubtful if much money was used i'm
brlbing voters. No charges of bribery OF
individual voters have been made as far
as we have noticed. The greater part OF
the money was used in paying campaign
workers and for campaign literature

1t is observed that not a great deal is
being said in the legislature about Yam
cey Carriers bill to prohibit the members
of the legislature from accepting free
railroad passes. 1t may be doubted that
the bill would have been introduced if
there had been any probability that it
would be passed. Stll Mr.. Carter, as a
good populist, is bound to employ every
stuffed club that he can find upon the
devoted heads of the democrats. He
ought to be able to get a lot of fun out
of the anti-free pass bill, since there is
little likelihood that he will lose his own
free pass thereby.

Some time ago a republican leader
was 1t Thomas p. Reed of Maine ?-said
something about using the tariff as a club
with which to beat the European govern
merts into line for bimetallism. The end
was to be reached through tariff discrim-
nations in favor of those countries which
would agree to rehabllitate silver. OF
late, however, nothing has been heard
with regard to this scheme. Has II drop
ped into inocuous desuetude, as President
Cleveland might say?

A pathetic circumstance incident to the

of escaping from his enemies. The only
foundation for her relief is that no one saw

President Cleveland thus far has steer
ed a difficult course with admirable firm
ness, wisdom and moderation. 1t is to be
trusted that he will be allowed to do so
without interference to the end of his
term, ana that a European war may not
be added to all the domestic difficulties
and perplexities which he may have to
leave an unwilling and unwelcome legacy

raising than South Georgia. The market

The cotton crop of the current season
is estimated by Latham, Alexander & Co,
of New York to be S022,OO bales. These
figures were obtained from 2,2iO letters
from special correspondents in all parts
of the cotton belt. The average date of the
letters Is Nov. 10. The estimate by states
is as follows; Alabama, 9i6, 900; Arkansas,
G57, 900; Florida. $1,000; Georgia. 1,22O,OOO;
Louisiana. $4,000; Mississippi, 96l, 900;
North Carolina, $4,000; South Carolina,
7ZOOO; Tennessee, 2SIOOO; Texas. 2,25l, OOO.
The great mass of the letters received in
dicate that the crop this year is from
three to five weeks earlier than usual, that
it has been marketed with great rapidly
on account OF stringent money and urgent
demands of merchants to make collections
previous to the election. and that picking
at this date Nov. 100 is nearer completion
than ever before known"

Woman Suffrage.

California dispatches say the woman sut-
fragists of that state are well pleased
with the showing they were able to make
in the recent election. They secured some
$4,000 votes in favor of the proposed
amendment to the constitution, while
barely $4,000 more than that number were
cast against the amendment. The suf-
fragists think that with two years more
of agitation they will be able to secure a
majority of the vote cast. 1t is worthy OF
note, by the way, that the suffragists Of
California thought the same way two
years ago, and in the recent campaign
were confident that they would win, I'M
til pretty nearly all of the returns were
in. Their expectations were we'll founded,
is seems; for the legislature that framed
the amendment to be submitted to the
people passed it by a vote of nearly 2 to j.
and the suffragists had a right to
think that the representatives in the leg
islature, coming fresh from the people,"
as legislators always do, knew what their
constituents desired. Their constituents,
however, seem to have changed their
minds with regard to the matter, if they
ever thought otherwise than the way they
voted the other day. The movement in
California is well organized, and will so
forward to the next campaign with high
hopes There is nothing that can be had
in politics that is better than high hopes
Idaho also voted on woman suffrage on
Nov. 3, and if the question is to be set
tied by the direct vote upon it, the vo-
men of Idaho will vote in the next cleo
ton. The majority of votes cast on the
amendment were in favor/of it, but that
majority was not also a majority of the
total number of votes cast in the cleo
ton. 1t has been held by somebody in
authority in Idaho that a majority of the
total vote, and not of the vote cast on
the amendment, is necessary to the adop-
ton of the amendment. The friends OF
the proposed measure are not willing to
accept that opinion as final. and win take
the matter into the courts. A Boise City
correspondent doubts if the suffragists
will be able to carry their point.
These incidents show that a deep inter-
est in woman suffrage is taken in the
west, and that the westerners look upon
the matter in a much more liberal light
than do the people Of the older states
1t may be seriously doubted If the state
Of Pennsylvania would have given as
many votes for woman suffrage as Idaho
did, Notwithstanding the great difference
of population in favor of the former state
