New York, October 29.-It is not I'M
likely that all bets on the Mayoralty
contest will be declared off as a result
Of Henry Georges death. 1t is esti-
mated that something like $4,000 has
been wagered on the Stock Exchange
alone. Van Wyck has led in the bet
ting, with Low second choice In addi-
ton to bets on the main issue. any
number of bets have been made that
Low would poll more votes than Tracy.
or vice versa.
Edward Talcott. who is one of the
heaviest of the Stock Exchange bettors.
and has laid wagers amounting to about
$40, 900 on the election, said to-day taht
he had communicated with the men
whose money he holds with the purpose
of bringing them together to effect set
tlement Of their bets
1T is my purpose said Mr.. Talcott,
ito have my betting friends appoint a
committee of arbitration. This commit
tee shall decide whether it is best or
not, in view of Georges death, TO de-
clare all bets off. | for one will abide
by the decision of the committee.
THE only way out Of it Rat / can
see is to wipe the slate clean and begin

The decision Of the committee to be
appointed by the Stock Exchange bro
kers will doubtless be accepted by all
sporting men.
A number of large bets have already
been cancelled by mutual consent One
large bet on Low against the field was
cancelled The holder of the Low end
of the wager consented to the with
drawal as a matter OF fairness.

Logan, Ohio, October 29.-'I have
just received a dispatch announcing
the death of Henry George. The sud-

will make more keen the sorrow which
the public generally will feel at the
death Of so great, SO pure and SO brave

made his name familiar to the reading
people of the world around. Those
who agreed with his theories found
in him an ideal leader, while those

His death will prove a loss to litera-

DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

Most of the members of the legisla-
ture have returned home. They GER
tainiy can go among their constituents
and ask approval of their work, for it
deserves it. 1t was a Democratic leg
islature, and by its record the party
must stand or fall. While the record
is one of which the party may we'll be
proud, yet it must not be forgotten that
when the next legislature is elected
there will be no presidential campaign
on, and it can scarcely be expected
that the party will have the support
of so many silver Republicans as it did
last fall, though the further the Re-
publican party goes from the bimetal-
lie standard, the more certain will the
silver men in the party who supported
BRYAN be to remain with the Demo-
cratic party, which they so CALAMITY
aided last fall. The Democratic party
in the state must prepare itself to
wage fierce battle in 1898, if it would
keep control of the legislature. The
next legislature will elect a successor
to Senator Cannon. That fact alone
will inlpel the Republicans to do all
in their power to carry the state, and
with the administration at Washing
ton in full sympathy with them their
power will not be a thing to despise
The Democratic party should be as
perfectly organized as possible; moth
ing must be left to chance. To be per-
fectly organized does not mean that
there should be any campaign work
done; that will come at the proper
time. and to do it now would be to
dull the edge for then. And the party
should be thoroughly organized in the
sole interest of the Democracy and in
no other 1t is very important to bear
this in mind
After the great victory of last fall
there may be some idea that it is not
so necessary to be alert as though the
party had met defeat. The idea is
wrong, and might easily invite danger.
The defeat of the Republicans will make
them doublv alert and they will take
advantage of any mistakes by the
Democrats. There is no greater mis-
take than to be careless and over-con-
fident in the presence of a wary, alert
and aggressive enemy.

the respect of his party, that it was
impossible for him to accomplish any
thing out of the ordinary. To him be-
longs the credit for the conception of
the treaty, but to another will belong
the fame and credit for it's consumma-
ton. In this regard fame is not usu-
ally Just. for it gives credit to those
who put the last finishing touches to
a great work, rather than to those who
conceived it and carried it through the
most difficult stages. But the people
are far more interested in the triumph
of the idea of arbitration than in the
personal triumph OF any man con-
nected with it.
The recognition of the idea of arbi-
tration is a distinct gain for civiliza-
panacea for international disputes,
neither can it prevent wars; nor do it's
most ardent friends claim any such
virtue for it. They claim that it will
tend to minimize the chances of war;
nothing more. This principle triumphed
before the Geneva tribune, and the
peaceful settlement of the Alabama
claims was one of the grandest tri-
umphs ever made by the United States
government. Everything is to be hoped
from a treaty of arbitration between
the two great English-speaking nations,
while there is nothing to be feared
from il.

THE STORMS.

The storms that have beer. raging in
the state for the past six weeks ara
almost without precedent for this sea-
son of the year. People living in the
valleys high in the mountains saw there
is more snow in the mountains now
| than they have ever known This all
means a great abundance of water
during the coming summer if not very
high waters in the spring. Many are
anticipating floods, and there is only
too much ground for their apprehen-
sions. Another immediate danger is
that of snowslides in the mountains.
Within a few weeks there has been a
number of snowslides in various parts
of the state that have been attended
with fatal results, more than for quite
number of years past. There is a
peculiar danger from them at this
season, which is that people are get
ting anxious to get into the hills as
the spring comes along, and of course
there will naturally be more out than
in the winter In consequence of the
storms they should be more cautious
than usual
The storms are also having a bad
effect upon sheep and cattle, this very
largely because feed is running short.
that is, hay and the like, while on the
ranges it is not any too plentiful. A
cessation of the storms now would be
appreciated by all. In the meantime
people must possess their souls in pa
thence and prepare for high water.

EMERGENCY LEGISLATION.

The proposal to enact the wool and
woolens schedule of the new tariff bill
as a separate and emergency measure
that the anticipated revenue from them
may be had before dealers in woods
have stocked up, shows as plainly as
possible that the protectionists are
somewhat alarmed. If immense impor-
tat1ons OF wool are made now, il will
be impossible to derive any revenue
Whatever from that source until the
stock is exhausted. This would make
bad showing for the new tariff hill
and 1t would be quite useless to ex-
plain to the people the cause of the
failure of the new law to bring in anv
revenue from wool: they would see
nothing more, as a rule, than the effect.
The new bill getting a black eye in this
particular would have a very strong
tendency to revive tariff agitation, the
very last thing the protectionists want
after they get what they want.
But it must be evident to those who
are DESTROYS of this emergency legisla-
ton that wool is going to be the great
est item of contention in the whole
tariff bill. Compared with the present
tariff law. the new wool schedule is
the most radical one in the whole bill.
This being so. it is quite likely that
there will be the hardest fight over il.
ms fact makes the probability of
Passing it on the plea of emergency
very remote indeed. 1t is not inpos-
sible that this plea of emergency is
nothing more than a feeler, as the
Dingley bill Of last year was.
If IT. is good TO take wool out of the
general bill now and pass schedule K
as q SEPARATE measure, it would also
be good thing to take the sugar
schedule out and pass it for the same
reasons. Much revenue is expected to
be derived from that also. If the wool |
schedule can go through without any
great opposition, there is no need to |
worry about the rest of the bill: if
would go through without the slightest |
opposition. This proposed emergency |
legislation shows that those who con-
template it do not know just what to /
do before the doctor comes

BLAND ON THE CURRENCY COM
MISSION.

"Silver Dick Bland has been giving
his views on the question of the crea-
ton of a currency commission. His
name is so thoroughly identified with
the money question in all its forms in
the minds of the people that anything
he says on it becomes of interest. Here
is what he says about a currency COM
mission:
1 am very much like President Nc
kinley in regard to the matter. My
attitude is the same as his. 1 am in
favor of such a commission if l am
allowed to appoint it. So is he, but he
would not favor it on any other terms.
Neither would I. If he were to appoint
the commission it would be composed
of men who would report in favor of
his way of thinking. If 1 were to ap-
point commission l would undoubt-
edly select men who would report my
way. President Mckinley would I'M
dcubtedly oppose any proposition to
permit me or the silver men of the
country to appoint a commission;
therefore, it is not strange that the
silver men should oppose him. l do not
think there will be any legislation on
the currency this session, and l do not
think any currency commission will be
authorized. The plan will certainly
meet with stubborn opposition from sill
yer men in both houses of congress,
and l do not see how it can be adopted
All men would want to do as Bland
says the president and he would want
to do. If a currency commission
should be appointed nothing would be
more natural than that at least a good
working majority of it should be in
harmony with the views of the presi-
dent. 1t is not probable that any such
commission will be appointed, at least
not before the Fifty-fifth congress
meets in regular session, and it is quite
as unlikely that there will be any leg
islation on the money question at the
extra session. That was called for
certain, definite object, and that is the
only one congress will care to deal
with; and if it deals with that success
fully it will have done quite enough
for an extra session.

he took me aside.
=" Perhaps you'd like a little some

to the wife or my SON.

from a cupboard. When l went down

me a wink and motioned toward a back
room. l followed him and he said:

The Detroit Free Press, which
was an ardent supporter of McKin-

sounds a warning to the Republicans
against the danger of returning to Nc
Kinlev tariff rates. 1t saws: In put
ting rates I'D to the Mckinley mark
and above it the Republican congress
will be using the power gained through
a great patriotic demonstration of the
people in a way that the people did not
intend and which they will resent with
spirit. Mr.. Mckinley is hardly accur-
ate in declaring that the people are
committed by their latest popular ut
terance to the system of tariff taxation.
That question had but a secondary
place in the canvass that resulted in
the return of the Republican party to
power. The overshadowing issue was
the currency. and the popular utter
ance meant the continuance of sound
money and the correction of defects in
the currency system more than every
thing else
It is said that a burnt child breads
the fire. but the Republicans don't
seem TO dread it.
