Elected Governor Of Arkansas by About

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept 9.-The
democracy Of Arkansas Monday
achieved the greatest victory In the
history Of the state. Never before was
such an overwhelming majority given
any gubernatorial candidate as that
which was yesterday given Gen. Dan
w. Jones, and never was such large
vote polled in the state. Conservative
estimates, based on partial returns
received, now place the total
vote at 10000 and give Jones a
clear majority over all opposition COM
bined Of from 10000 to $1,000. The fig
ures are coming in slowly and many
enthusiastic democrats claim that
when the back counties are all in Jones'
majority will run above 10000. Many
counties in Arkansas have no tele-
graph, and 1t will be several days be-
fore the official returns are all in. The
unusual length Of the ticket makes
progress of the count very slow.

An argument something like this Is
often used with the debtor classes by
the free silver advocates. What ii the
prices of what you buy 10 Ivan 90. as
well as the priccs Of what yol sell.
You are still ga lcr in the debt pay
ing power OF the surplus. lou take
100 bush lis of wheat to market now
and get $50 for it; you pay SlO for "a
suit of clothes and have $40 left 10 APP
ply on your mortgage. With free sil
YER coinage You would get SlOO for
your hundred bl shells of wheat. Even
if you did have To pay double price 70;
he suit of clothes. YOU would still has,
$50 left 10 pay CA the mortgage.
There would bc two bitches in this
plan of operations. In the first place
the prices of farm products would not
he at all likely to increase as rapidly
as those manufactures. "A large part of
which are imported. Imported goods
would have to bc paid for on gold
basis, and the increase in price would
be immediate The very platform
which declares for the free coinage of
silver, declares also q. sainst protec-
tive tariff, and in the absence of the
nome market which the latter should
aid in furnishing, farm products would
not keep pace with manufac.u red
goods in the enhance ment of price.
But the worst hitcf in the program
proposed would be just here. The re-
suit of the election will be known next
November. The new congress will
not, in the ordinary course of events,
meet until December of the year fol-
10 wing, and il would be some months
after that before such legislatio as
that proposed could be crowded through
the two houses. Even if an extra ses-
sion was held in March, it would take
months TO get a bill through. 1t would
be from one to two years after election
before the new measure could become
operative. Meantime gold would be
driven out of circulation and much of
it sent abroad, causing = great con-
traction of the available currency.
Wherever obligations become due cred
itors would Insist upon immediate pay
rnent, or else, if renewals were granted,
upon additional security with the stip-
ulation that payment should be in gold.
There are scores of millions of dollars
of mortgages in Michigan alone that
are past due, but that are allowed to
run as long as the interest is paid.
The same self interest that gives the
debtor desire to pay these in tiftr
cent dollars would lead the creditor In
secure payment while the gold stand
ard prevailed, or else To secure future
payment in gold. He would have the
advantage of time and with part due
obligations no law could stop him.
There would be ten foreclosure suits
where now there is one, and nc
bidders except the mortgages Be-
sides this first pinching time it would
take years for the newly coined silver
to fill the gap occasioned by the with
drawal of the 5000, 900, 900 in gold now
held in the country. Whatever bust
ness structure might ultimately be
reared upon the silver basis, and il
would probably be a flimsy one, its
foundations would be laid in the almost
universal bankruptcy of what are now
the debtor classes.

The Act of 1878.

The advocates of the free coinage OF
silver. have, for years. been reiterating
the statements that the act of 1873,
stopping the coinage of the silver dol
lar, was surreptitiously passed; that
the members of congress, even, did not
know what they were voting for, and
that the act was passed at the instiga
ton of men who were interested in
forcing a corner on gold. They have
repeated these statements so often
that many have convinced themselves
Of their truth. Even so well-informed
man as +. A. Bake, in his recent
ratification speech at the Auditorium
in Detroit, declared that it was a
''stealthy' act The also speak of the
Jaw as having "demonetizcd' silver.
An inquiry as TO the exact facts in the
case is pertinent at this time.
There had been no general revision
of the coinage acts since 1887, and no
amendments adopted since 1853. In
1870 the secretary Of the treasury, Mr..
boutwell,. framed bill intended to
bring under ore chapter all the acts
relating to the coinage since the mint
was established in 1898. This was
printed and copies Of il sent 10 experts
throughout the country: and after their
suggestions had been considered it was
introduced in the senate and referred
TO the committee on finance April %,
1870 1t did not pass the senate until
Jan. 10. 1871. having been for some
months upon the files of members in
printed form. Previous TO its passage,
which was by vote of 36 to IA, it was
discussed for two days. Senators Sher-
man. sumner, Morrill,, Bayard and a
number Of others having taken part in
the discussion.
The bill did not pass the house of that
congress. but was introduced in that
branch Of the next congress March g.

MARIAN MeTEOROLOGY.
The Weather on Our Neishboring PiAne'
L. Always Fine.


The Marian meieorology is less COM
plicated ana more pleasant than thatcf
the earth. says the North American Re-
view. There the weather is almost sl.
ways fine, especially during summer.
Very seldom are there clouds even in
winter. Generally, when we are un-
able to distinguish through the tele-
scope the details of the geographical
configurations upon the planet the fault
is in our own atmosphere and not In
that of Mars. 1t is very rarely the case
that when our atmospheric conditions
are good we are unable TO see these de-
tails. During the last period OF oh
servation of Mars in 1894. l, 10 speak for
myself, encountered only Is days (from
October 10 10 PSI when the surface OF
the planet was yelled by its own atmo.-
phere. Clouds are excessively rare on
the surface of Mars, and perhaps exist
at all only as fogs or light cirrus; they
are not clouds of rain or storm. These
wells are very infrequent there, while
they are perpetual upon the earth.
Probably there is not a single day in
the year when the entire surface of the
earth is uncovered 50 that il could be
satisfactorily observed from space. The
two planets have two meteorological
systems that are absolutely antithetic-
al.
Furthermore, in the rarefed atmos-
phere of Mars there can be no powerful
winds, like the trade winds, and the
predominant atmospheric currents
which rule terrestrial climates Oc-
casionally, however, observers have
noted long streaks of snow which ap-
pear to have been produced by currents
in tranquil atmosphere. Schiaparelli.
for instance, observed such streaka
("tranees"o in November and Decem'
Der, 1881, around the northern pole, and
extending n considerable distance from
1t. But such things are exceptions.
The normal condition of Mars is fine
weather.
