TIE great mayoralty fight in Ne

TIE great mayoralty fight in New
York is ended, and Judge Van Wyck,
the representative of Croker and Tam
many, of bossism and political rot has
won pronounced victory over the can
didate of pure and honest municipal
government. The result is not a sur
prise, it was universally predicted even
by republicans, who were well aware
of the odds against which they fought.
Their defeat does not by any means
prove that there are more voters in
New York city who uphold the spoils
system of Tammany than support
honest city government, but only
demonstrates the effects of party list
lessness and factional strife. 1t was
division and the proverbial off year"
apathy which lost the election for re-
publicans in many places beside New
York Tuesday.
On the whole, however, the lookout
is not at all discouraging. In spite OF
unfavorable and hostile circumstances
the republicans won an easy victory in
Iowa. In Virginia, though defeat met
their efforts, the party polled larger
vote as compared with the democratic,
than has been known in that state
since the war.
There seems to be chance for a
reasonable doubt in Ohio, and in con-
sequence the democratic sages are pre-
dieting great majorities in their favor.
But the Cleveland Leader says Gov.
Bushnell has carried Ohio by major
ity of 1000 to $4,000 while Massachu-
sets turned up majority of s., 900 for
the republican party.

MONDAY the plant of the TELEGRAPH

The Few management contemplates no
change beyond what time and unceas-

republican, and so long as that party
is faithful to the principles through
which it has achieved success; so long
as it adheres to the wise, conservative,
patriotic policy which characterizes its
history; so long as it opposes spollation
and demagoguery, champions pure
legislation and national honor and rep

It's incipiency, go long shall we remain
republican and strive to fairly present
and vigorously support the issues OF
that party.
We purpose also to spare no pains in
making the TELEGAPH-CoURIER and
EVENING NEWS respectively the cor
rect and complete chronicle of county
and city news, and it shall be our con-
slant object to merit the good will and
patronage of our readers.
In justice to ourselves and our adj
vertisers we will say that the TELE-
GRAPH COURIER, which year ago
boosted larger circulation than any
two other papers in Kenosha county,
has added many names to it's sub
scription list since Oct. 1, 1896. The
EVENING NEWS has grown in proper
sion, having now circulation IN
excess of any other daily paper pub

Increase we expect to maintain by con-
slant application and faithful service to
che. demands of a newspaper reading
public.

Mr.. BRYAN's meteoric appearance
in Ohio and its effect upon the future
of the silver cause in particular, and
national politics in general, is being
watched with the most intense interest
by the people of the entire country.
There has been a growing feeling that
the silver cause was rapidly losing
ground, and that unless some unfore-
seen incident should occur to revive it,
the men who supported it last year
would find it necessary to look for
some other issue before another ma
tional campaign takes place. Should
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Ohio result in
democratic success in that state, it
would greatly revive interest in silver
and in Mr.. Bryan. Hence, the close
ness with which the battle in Ohio and
the result of the election in that state
will be followed by the whole country.

THIS paper has purposely refralned
for nearly week from commenting on
the appropriation of $4,000 for the
benefit of Kenosha harbor. This was
done simply to see what interest was
manifested on the part of our business
men and citizens generally in one of
the most important of our facilities for
increasing the size and Importance OF
Kenosha. So far we have not heard a
word. The matter has been allowed
to drop like tabooed subject. This
is not as it should be. Our people
should take greater and more kindly
interest in the welfare of the city.
That harbor is undoubtedly of as great
importance-ycs, greater-than the
establishment Of new factories, since it
holds the possibilities of increased
growth and great commercial import
ance. The fact that this appropria-
ton had been recommended should
have awakened enthusiasm at once
and started all the machinery of the
city and its business into activity,
looking toward the using of that
amount to the very best possible pur-
pose. What has become of the enthus.
iasm we had the time the Kenosha
Business Mems Association was
started? And why are not meetings
held more frequently so that these
things can all be discussed as they
should be? There can be no question
but that we lose many of the best of
our opportunities by not being con-
stantly on our guard and in the field.
Why cannot all this be changed9

THE fact that Great Britain declined

THE fact that Great Britain declined
to open the minis of India to the free
coi2age of silver in advance of theapro-
posed International conference does
not at all argue that she is unwilling
to cooperate with other nations in
joint action on the silver question, but
rather that she prefers to make what
ever action she may take in regard to
India benefit the cause of silver gen
orally by insuring International action
in conjunction with her action on that
subiect.

Mobile Postmaster Declares the Pres
ident Cannot Drop Him.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 5-The controversy
over the postmastership at Mobile is at
tracing general attention because of the
important legal phases of the case and the
possible effect on the spirit of the civil
service law Postmaster Rapier, who re-
fuses to surrender the Office to p. d. Bark
er, is a Cleveland appointee whose commits
sion is dated Dec. II, 1884, and his official
term will, therefore. not expire until Decem-
ber, 1898. Mr.. Rapier contends that the sec
ton of the Revised Statutes under which
frst-class postmasters are appointed pro-
vides in terms that such postmaster shall be
appointed for the term of four years and
can be removed by the President cnly by
and with the advice and consent of the SEN
ate. The President, on Oct. l, gave TO p. d.
Barker, a Republican. a commission as Ra-
piers successor. Barker, who was cut of
the city, did not return until recently. and
on Dec. / demanded of Postmaster Rapier
the surrender of the office Mr. Rapier
claims he received no notice of his removal
according to law and will not surrender the
Office until legality of his removal has been
passed on by the courts. Barker, the new
appointee, was postmaster at Mobile during
the Harrison administration and served out
his full term of four years.

NOZZLE TOWARD THE SHORE.
Crew of a Lake Steamer on Fire Had
Race with Death.

CHICAGO, Dec 5.--Twelve men, compos-
ing the crew of the steamer George w.
Moreley, had race with death on Lake
Michigan this evening. Fire broke out in
the hold of the vessel seven miles off Evans
ton. All steam was crowded on, the safety
valves were tied down, and with the men
working like Trojans in the binding smoke,
the run for shore commenced. AS the flames
burst through the cabin land was reached
and the crew was saved.
The Moreley was bound from Milwaukee
to Chicago without a cargo. Seven miles
off Evanston the explosion of lantern in
the hold started the blaze. The crew was
turned into fire brigade, but the flames,
it was soon seen, were beyond control, and
the race between steam and fire was
ordered. The bow of the boat was pointed
towards Evanston under full head of steam
Meantime the crew kept up steady stream
of water into the hold. But the fire gained
rapidly. The stokers, almost smothered by
smoke, piled on coal and tied down the
safety valves Just as the crew was be-
coming discouraged with the unequal bat
tie the keel touched ground. Life savers
took off the almost exhausted crew. A mo-
ment later the flames burst out Of the cabin
and soon destroyed the upper works of the
vessel The Moreley was valued at 100000;
insurance, $780, 900.
