Causes and Results in Ohio,

In Ohio many causes undoubtedly
contributed to cut down the Republican
plurality of about $4,000 last year, but
chief among them was the general po-
litical apathy which always follows a
Presidential year. Ohio always is re-
liably Republican in national elections,
but in "off'' years her political pendu-
lum swings to the other extreme. The
year following President Garfeld's
election was signalized by his assassi-
nation and a Republican victory was
registered in the Buckeye State that
fall. This, we believe, was the only
exception from the general rule Of
Democratic victories in ''off" years I'M
til the election Tuesday.
An analysis Of the Ohio returns shows
that a full Republican vote was not
polled this year, whereas practically
the whole Democratic strength was
brought out. The inference plainly is
that local disaffection within the Re-
publican ranks was responsible for the
falling off. There were no Republican
conversions and no Democratic acces-
sions; the vote did not change, but the
disaffected Republican voters stayed at
home.-Chicago Times Herald.

Iowa All Right.

Iowa justified the expectations of til
country by rolling up good round ma
jority, not a mere plurality, for Cover
nor-elect Shaw. 1t may be said, and
truly, that, like the carrying of Greater
New York by the Democracy, it was
another case of the Dutch taking Hol-
land; but there was this difference: The
Republicans were not at all indebted to
Democratic division for their victory.
1t is true there were two Democrats in
the field, but the bolt from the DemOc-

point they should have been retained.
1t Is understood that number of for
eign countries are anxious to at once
enter into reciprocal agreements with
this country, and 1t is thought that
these features of the new law will be
among its most popular provisions. The
general impression prevails that our
foreign trade will improve largely I'M
der the arrangements to be made, es-
pecia1ly with the South AmericN N coun-
tries, with which we are especially
qualified to deal reefprocally. 1t is
thought by men familiar with affairs
that reciprocity during the present adj
minfstration will gain such foothold
as to become a permanent institution,
regardless of changes of politics in ad-
miniStrations.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1897-11-11

The citizens OF New York have rea-
son to deplore the reinstatement of
Tammany, and the Republicans, as
such, to see in the result the natural
consequence of wholly ineXcusable
bolt, but it affords no occasion for dis
couragement. Large as was Van
Wyck's plurality, it fell about $4,000
short of a majority. 1t is a matter of
very great significance that the Repub-
leans still retain control Of the State
Legislature. Tammany could pile up
the plurality mountain high in their
own bailiwick, but could not distribute
their votes throughout the Assembly
and Senatorial districts so as to gain
possession Of the Legislature. AS the
Republicans already had the Govern
orship that insures very important
degree of wholesome State supervision
over New York City. Nearly all the
real reforms of a permanent nature in
the government of that city are trace
able to Albany. No false cry of ''home
rule has ever prevented the State at
large from doing its duty to it's great
metropolis. This is no small comfort.
Then, too, the Senators elected this fall
will participate in the election Of a
United States Senator in place of Sena
tor Murphy, and it is very nearly GER
tain now that when that time also
comes the Republicans will be in con-
troll of the Legislature.

New Burial Plan.

The Board of Health of New York
has approved the plans of a new maui
solemn company, and the latter will
establish sanitary mausoleum near
High Bridge, with capacity of from
10000 to 10000 bodies. The idea is to
seal up the dead in cement receptacles,
after exposing the bodies for several
months to a current of air made chem
ically pure by passing it over sulphuric
acid and afterward by fire. When the
body is thoroughly desiccated the re-
ceptacle is to be made alright. The
sanitary authorities are reported to be
well pleased with the proposed scheme,
which avoids so many of the objection
able features of earth burial. 1t is pro-
posed to erect building 27O feet long,
IS feet deep and three stories high.
The receptacles will be formed of con-
crete four inches thick and jointless, in
size q little larger than an ordinary
coffin.

Descent from a Balloon by Bicycle.

Descent from Balloon by Bicycle.
A parachutist, known as professor"
Anthony, has accomplished sensa-
tional descent at Luton by dropping
from height Of 5000 feet while ped
aling' a bicycle. This is said to be the
first introduction of the bicycle into this
hazardous kind of exhibition. Signor
Balleni of the Crystal Palace, took the
balloon up with the professor dang
ling below the car, and when an eleya-
ton of 5000 feet had been reached he
gave the signal to drop. The parachute
opened by an apparatus worked by
''pedaling" the bicycle, and the s'profes-
sor" afterward stated that he dropped
fifty feet before it opened properly.
During that time he had to pedal
hard The descent was very slow on
account of the parachute being rather
too large, and the parachutist was car
ried by the wind to some farms near
Caddington, from which place he rode
back to Luton.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Political Pith.

Once more the calamity criers lower
their tones as wheat takes another up
ward jump.
The young children of Mexico have
cried in vain for sight of young Bry-
an. For some reason he didn't get
there.
The factory smoke was so thick in
some sections of Ohio that when Mr..
Bryan tried to make speeches there it
affected his voice seriously.
Silver is being Disseminated against
all the time. Last year the minis of
the United States coined only the tri-
fling sum of $153, 100000 in silver.
Every now and then a Chicago-plat-
form plank gives way with a groan as
an exceptionally large business-im-
proyement wave dashes against it.
They are few and far between. We
mean those whose eyesight is defective
and who still think the country is
blowing about in the mud of Demo-
cratic hard times.
Now and then an old mossback pokes
his head out of his hole and looks about
him in vain for signs Of prosperity.
There are some people who don't know
good thing when they see it.
The treasury officials are finding diff
fculty in handling the gold reserve,
which has now passed the $150,000,O0O
mark. This condition presents slight
contrast to the bond-selling Cleveland
administration.
The attitude of the administration In
regard to the Spanish Cuban question
is sufficiently vigorous to show people
that its action is to he clear and deter
mined, and for the best interests of the
Cubans as well as the people Of the
United States.

The campaign in Iowa was strictly
domestic on the part of the Republi-
cans. No outside help in booming the
good cause was sought. The Demo-
Gratis, on the other hand, got Mr.. Bryan
to come over to help them, and make
some speeches. With this material as
a campaign document they fought
bitter fight. Their defeat shows that
Iowa stands now where it stood in
1896.
Iowa has sometimes gone Democrat
ic in off years; not as often as Ohio, but
still it has done it several times. It
has never, however. jeopardized its Re-
publican representation in the United
States Senate, nor has it ever turned it's
back on the Republican party except
when some definite side issue, like pro-
hibition, got up diversion. 1t belongs

Must Find a New Issue.

What will the cheap-money men do,
now that silver coinage at 16 to l is be-
coming more and more unpopular? VIII
they abandon the issue entirely and
drift into greenbackism, pure and SIM
pie, or will they adopt single-taxism
and such other fallacies? It is logi-
cal step from 4O-cent silver to unlimited
,arer money, and it is only a question
IN the minds Of the silverites as to
whether this will be sufficiently popu-
lar With the masses.

OUTLOOK foa CURRENCY ACTION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.--Members or
congress are unusually slow in putting
in their appearance here for the regu-
lar session, which convenes next Mon
day. Up to this time there have been
scarcely more than half a dozen arri-
walls each day. From now on, how
ever. it is expected that the rush will
begin and that very full attendance
will be in their places on the opening
day Few of the leaders of either
house are here as yet. This is espec-
Tally true of the house of representa-
tives. Neither Speaker Reed nor Mr..
Dinghy. the floor leader of the ma
jority, will reach Washington until
Saturday or Sunday.
With the exception of the pronounced
ana radical pro and anti Cuban con-
gressmen the members of both houses
as q rule, seem TO be holding their judg-
ments in allegiance until they ascertain
from official sources exactly wha5 the
situation 10 as to Cuba. In the matter
of the currency it seems already estab-
ished that he democrats and their
free silver allies will oppose stubbornly
anything the majority is likely to pro-
pose. and the fact that the opposition
clines many of the Republican mem
bers of the house to the opinion that it
would be wisdom not to attempt any
Legislation whatever.
Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa is one Of these
He thinks the futility of passing q
measure i'll the senate makes 1t mex
lpedient for tho house to attempt to put
Through measure and beside he doubts
the propriety of the Republicans of the
house attem pting to make Republican
policy on subject upon which the Re-
publican platform does not speak to the
point. He says if the president should,
as reported, recommend any scheme
for the re- irement of the greenbacks it
would be beyond the Republican plat
form and every Republican would be
free to support Or oppose It as his
JUDGEMENT Indicated. There is some
talk of a Republican caucus on this
question, many of the members beliey-
ing that If a currency measure is to be
passed, differences could be most easily
adjusted and concerted action secured
i'm this way
Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts,. who is
chairman of the committee on bank
ing and currency, some time ago sent q
letter to every member of his commit
ltee, urging the importance of cur
rency legislation and asking each men,
der to be prepared. as soon after the
lopening of the session as possible, to
work to the end that measures may be
passed to the house for action.
MIR. Hepburn, who is chairman of
1.-THE committee on Interstate and for
leign commerce. says he has received
many letters during the recess, particu-
Harry from mercantile bodies, urging
action on the anti-scalping and pooling
lbills, and he expects both these ques-
lions TO receive early attention.

ADVOCATES ECONOMY.
Joe Cannon Says He Will Try to Keep
Down appropriations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Representa-
tive Cannon, chairman of the commit
Tee on appropriations. has arrived in
Washington. Speaking to a reporter
he said that his policy for the approach
ing session of congress as chairman of
the house committee would be to hold
the appropriations, SO far as he coala
control them, down to existing con-
dition,.
81 believe in liberal, but nos ex-
travagant policy in making appro pria-
tions," he SAID, land until our revenues
increase shall oppose entering upon new
enterprises requiring the expendl5 re
OF government funds" air. Cannon
expressed the opinion that by the be-
ginning of the next fiscal year the
lDingley tariff bill would afford revenue
sufficient to meet the legitimate de-
mands of the government
He also ased his belief 10 be that
the comm, > 'ssiou would be q cou para
lively 6lle one We should be away
from here carly, by the 1st of June"
he said. Indeed there is very little
Tor Us to do beyond passing the appro-
priatlon bills. 1t is needless for us to
attempt to secure currency legislation
because OF the lmpossibility OF getting
anything thr ugh the senate. 80 long
as the senat : is anti Republican, as at
present, all Efforts to get currency re
form legislation will be Sc much waste
of time and energy. What sense then
is there in wasting long winded essays
to be read in the senate and house and
disturbing the business equiht rum
unless some wholesome purpose can bs
suDserved.
Mr.. Cannon says the appropriations
committee will report the legislative
and pension appropriation bills in the
house before the Christmas holidays.
