ELECTIONS NEXT TUESDAY.

One week from to-day general elections
will be held in Massachusetts, New York.
Pennsylvania, Maryland Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado.
In Massachusetts, state officers and a Legis-
lature will be elected. There are five tick
cts in the field-one Republican, two Demo-
cratic and the usual smaller tickets. In
New York judge of the Court of Appeals
is the only state officer to be voted for. A
Legislature will be chosen half Senate
and full Assembly. This Legislature will
elect a United States senator to succeed
Murphy Democrat. Greater New York
city will elect city government The con-
test is attracting more attention than State
contests. Pennsylvania will vote for an
auditor and treasurer. In addition to the
Republican and Democratic tickets is re-
form ticket. Maryland will elect minor Off
GERS and a Legislature, which will elect
successor to Senator German. The interest
in Maryland is in Mr.. German and his plat
form, which ignores the 16-to-1 issue. Vir-
ginia will vote for state officers and a
Legislature which will elect a successor to
Senator Daniel. Ohio will vote for part of
its state officers and a Legislature, which
will elect a successor to Hon. NJ. A. Han
There are four tickets in the feld-Re-
publican, Democratic. Popuist and gold
Democratic. Kentucky will vote for clerk
of the Court of Appeals but the campaign
has been made upon the silver issue. There
are three candidates in the field-Repub-
lican, silver Democratic and gold Demo-
cratic. In Iowa state officers and part of a
Legislature will be chosen. Here as in
other States. the leading issue has been the
free coinage of silver. Colorado will elect
a Supreme Court judge. and Nebraska a
similar officer and one or two minor Off
Gals.
The indications are that a light vote,
compared with that of last year. win be
poled. The results in Ohio, Kentucky,
Iowa and Nebraska will be watched with
considerable interest, as they may indicate
the present attitude of the people in those
States toward the free coinage of silver.

FAILURE OF THE WOLCOTT COM
MISSION.

The practical failure of our bimetallic
commission to induce the leading European
nations to join in a conference to adopt an
international ratio for the coinage of gold
and silver should cause no surprise; neither
should it be the occasion of regret There is
much less intelligent sentiment to-day in
favor of any kind eff free coinage of silver
than there was in 1892. Two causes have
conspired to produce this change of senti-
ment.
The first of these causes is the knowledge
of the fact that, considering its uses. the
output of silver is practically limitless. Sci
ence, experience and capital have revo-
lutionized the methods of silver mining. But
for the inventive mind of man the produce
ton of silver would be so limited that its
old value before the bonanza mines were
opened could have been maintained. Sci
ence, experience and capital have made the
annual production of silver bullion so great
that it cannot retain it's former value No
doubt it's value by international coinage at
the old vaIge ratio of Is to / or Is to 1 would
so stimulate the silver-mining industry that
from plentifulness, compared with gold, it
would, in spite of ratio be a deprecated and
fiuctuating money The advocates Of free
and unlimited coinage seem to ignore that

AN ENDEAvoRER v1ND1cArED.

When the plaintiff in a breach of prom
Use suit secures a verdict the question
sometimes arises as to whether the jury in
estimating damages, bases it's verdict on
the size of the defendants bank account or
on the value of the plaintiffs affections. In
the case at Danville, ILL.,, where Mr.. John
Gernand has been asked by jury to pay
Mrs. Carrie Corbett $54, 1888. 33 for injuries
done by breaking off his marriage engage
ment to her there can be but one answer
Mr., Gernand may or may not have that
much cash in his pocket ready to hand
over, but Mrs. Corbett being a widow,
pretty, only thirty, and '1one,' is undoubt-
edly entitled to the amount if her heart
was lacerated in the very least No nor
mally constituted male jury could contem-
plate the sufferings of pretty widow only
thirty without feeling that $54, 333. 33 was the
very least it was decent to offer her by
might do in such case is another story AT
all events, this particular widow is vindi-
Gated, and if she ever collects her $54, 1888 SO
will probably recover from the cardiac af-
lection brought on by the perfidy of Mr.
Gernand.
1t is the vindication of another person
involved, however, to which the Journal
wishes to call particular attention. Mr..
Gernand based his defense on the ground
that Mrs. Corbett had carried on a flirta-
ton with Christian Endeavor delegate
from Indiana, whom she met on a journey
to the convention in California. Now, while
1t may be conceded that under certain cir
cumstances, widows, especially those from
Illinois, will flirt it cannot be admitted for
an instant that a Christian Endeavorer
from Indiana will indulge in that repre-
hensibe pastime. 1t is well known that
when EndeavoFers leave home to attend
convention they are not moved by worldly
considerations; they have eye single to
the good cause, and the other eye is not on
the lookout for pretty widows They are
pious pilgrims, wrapt in meditation, and
vanity and Irritation are far from them. No
bold, bad old man from Illinois need think
to cast dscredit on them at this late day.
Mr.. Gernand sought to do so, but facts
were against him. The jury would not be
convinced that the widow so much as
lifted her pretty eyes toward an EndeaV-
orer save in the way Of lofty spiritual
communion, and Irritation, it is com
monty believed, must have two partici-
pants it follows that the Indiana Endeav-
orer was exonerated also. The jury was
only concerned in clearing the widow, but
incidentally removed the stigma from the
Indiana youth, and through him from his
wise suspicion might have arisen that 9TH
er Endeavorers were not always endeavor-
ing when away from home, but leaned to
foolish frivolity. AS it is, the temporary
slur resting upon the Indiana delegate
must have so distressed him that it would
be no more than right that the widow
should offer him share of her $54, 1888. SO to
soace his feelings.

During the Harrison administration the
energetic Postmaster General Wanamaker
recommended rural free delivery and Con-
gress made an appropriation to try the ex-
pertinent. 1t was in progress when Mr.
Cleveland came to power, and his postal
officials declared the scheme impracticable
Later on, the idea of rural delivery was
tried on a smaller scale by Mr.. Cleveland's
postal officials who had once utterly con-
demned it, In First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath rural delivery has found an
earnest champion. 1t has been put to a
practical test in twenty-nne different
States and on over forty-four different
routes. The results have been so satisfac-
tory as TO warrant Mr.. Heath in saying that
rural delivery will become permanent fea-
ture of postal administration. He adds the
caution that such delivery cannot be under
taken all over the country at once, but, be-
ginning with the most thickly settled of
agricultural sections, it can be gradually
extended until all except the most sparsely
populated portions shall have the benefit of
such service. 1t is really more important
a postoffice should have free delivery than
those living in a village near an office.
The only objection which has been made
against rural free delivery is the expense.
The same argument is valid against twice.
a-day distribution in the suburbs of cities,
three or four miles from the general office.
The objection of expense should have no
force when the advantage which the people
in the greater part of the country will de-
rive from regular delivery of the mail
from house to house is taken into considera-
ton. The real objection to farm life is its
isolation from the rest of the world. A
daily distribution of the mail will bring the
life of the city into as close contact with
the country as are the suburbs of the city
at the present time When the family of
the farmer can be sure of communication
with the city six days in the week. so that

city shall reach its members before noon

Of will be removed. Supplemented by the

end. as will that Insecurity which pervades

natural result of the almost unlimited pro-
duction of silver bullion. Silver, during the
past decade. has ceased to be a precious
metal.
The second cause is the growing certainty
that there is sure to be enough gold to make
it the money basis of the world in con-
nection with the free use of silver as a SUBJ
sidiary coin. The worlds annual output of
gold has doubled, and more than doubled,
during the past decade. The annual output
of gold this year is of greater value than
the output of both metals twenty-five years
ago. At the same time the facilities of ex-
change have been so Increased as to econ
omize the use of gold as money If the out
put of iron or any other commodity were
increasing as is the output of gold at the
present time it would become a drug like
silver bullion and fail to a nominal price.
Another cause of the failing interest in
what is commonly called bimetallism is the
growing conviction that a double standard
is impracticable. The history of coinage in
our own country sustains the theory of
single measure of values. When the output
of silver was small, compared with what it
might be to-day, the mercantile ratio of the
two metals changed from time to time in
spite of coinage ratios. The intelligent con-
sideration of the question in connection with
the history Of coinage in this and other
countries has changed from bimetalists to
gold monometallists thousands of men.
They see that the maintenance of a coinage
ratio liked by law at Is to / is almost as
impractcable as to establish an arbitrary
price for wheat and corn upon basis which
would make one bushel of wheat the equiva-
lent of two bushels of corn

Cooks inlet, on the southern Alaska coast?
What is the meaning of that tremendous
splatchwork of rents northward and north
also, only the major openings are shown.
While these localities are thousands of
miles apart shall we impute their origin
to common causes?
Now, on the hypothesis-we will let it go
at that-that the earth, so to say tilted,
causing the curious phenomena of drift As
the result of the action of the cataclysm
there was also an inner fitting of material

massing of matter inside of the earth

lines and in the regions of least resistance.
1t is my judgment that it was there. as
the internal accompaniment to the external
disturbance that Puget sound and its ac-
companying lakes We're wrought together
with the entire line of fractures to Cooks
inlet. and also the rents in northern North
America, covering nearly 60 degrees OF
longitude. l am almost inclined to think
that Hudson bay itself is a part of this or
of q former action.

There was, concomitantly associated with

Both California and Oregon had seas of

will be brought into contact with entirely
new conditions and the easy-chair geologist
who made the warp and the wool of his
drift theories from the threads of merely
fine-spun fancies. will discover that he has
woven his web of gossamers.

the glacial biologists, point to the diminu-

At Mr.. Rosasco's saloon. on North New
Jersey street, six men engaged in a riot on
Sunday afternoon. They slashed each other
freely, with the result that all were more
or less mutiated, one having a thumb jcut
off and another an upper lip almost Eev-
cred from his face. The noise they Made
reused the neighborhood, one of the nbst
peaceful ard respectable in the city. Mr..
Rosasco is one of the gentlemen whom
Mayor Taggart complimented so highly at
the saloon keepers banquet last week
The members of this association" said
the genial mayor, ARE among the best
residents of this city, have done their part
toward making this quiet, peaceable
community, and have the best interests of
the city at heart They have, during the
past two years, rendered me every assist
ance in the world in maintaining the city
as home-like place. with every law re-
spected and every person safe in life and
property" There has been some criticism
of Mr.. Taggart for these remarks, and the
Journal has done it's share, but possibly the
fault-fnders do the mayor an injustice by
their failure to look at the matter from
his standpoint. He evidently has his own
opinion as to what constitutes a home-lke
city, and his assistants understand and
place, according to the Taggart idea, is
where saloons are open all night and every
Sunday and the frequenters are at liberty
to entertain themselves by shooting and
cutting each other and INDUCING in noisy
brawls whenever it pleases them. If a
man is killed occasionally it only adds to
the excitement and interest of the day.
That some of the saloon keepers under
stood him Is proved by the fact that hardly
a Sunday has gone by for months without
a demonstration which, in ordinary par
lance, would be called a disgraceful and
lawless disturbance, but which, to the may
or, must be like a sweet dream Of peace,
else he would not have grown so eloquent
in describing the situation. Those who had
not quite comprehended his attitude previ-
Gus to the banquet mentioned became fully
informed there, and will, no doubt, do their
part toward carrying out his idea even
more ably than before. Mr. Rosasco is, per-
haps. one of these. Sunday rows have been
frequent at his place, but it is only since
the encouragement received at the banquet
that he has ventured to make things so ex-
tremely home-like. Next time, possibly, be
will become more active assistant by
furnishing the mayor few other souve-
Mrs from his establishment in the shape
of ears noses, arms and other members
the lip and thumb already secured being a
fair beginning If all the other retail liquor
dealers whom Mayor Taggart regards so
highly will help to enforce the law in the
same way-and some of them have proved
their Willingness to do so-the eloquence of
his speech of welcome at the next banquet
will be overwhelming and his acknowl-
edgment of allegiance more humble than
ever. Meanwhile, the people who do not
believe in observing the laws" by openly
breaking them in the middle are likely to
have an unhappy tine of it for year
