last. AT home the crop reports were much
the same as for the past week or two, and
not at all encouraging for good crop. In
short, the various items of news had a de-
pressing effect on the market, and from the
start the tendency was downward up to
noon. Trading was very light after the first
half hour and was of an evening up char
acter carried on in comparative silence. The
feeling generally is that prices will go still
higher, but the recent advance was too
rapid to last. higher plane of prices has
been established and, with better export
demand, which is promised, prices will ad-
vance gradually on legitimate conditions in

A special despatch from Madrid
says that the Spanish cabinet is con-
sidering the question of impeaching
General Weyler for the speech made
by him just before leaving Cuba.
Previous to embarking on board
the steamer Montserrat, which con-
veyed him to Spain, General Weyler
received deputation of autonomists,
and in his address to them he said, in
part: s'My release from my post and
responsibilities did not surprise me.
| had expected it from the death of
Senior Canovas, not believing that
any political leader would be strong
enough to sustain me when the Unit
ed States and the rebels were togeth
er constantly demanding that Spain
should come to settlement. I count
it an honor to have been identified
with the local Spanish party. But the
policy which I have followed was not
adopted in obedience to any political
party, but for what it represented on
behalf of my country. Before I came
I was we'll aware of the patriotic con-
duct Of the volunteers, and since my
arrival I have often seen it illustrated.
I have repeatedly advised the Span
ish party not to be intimidated, but TO
make known to the home Govern
ment the outcome of the reforms
which have been put into force. AS
for the future, I offer myself, and
shall always hold myself in readiness,
to serve the party aiming to retain
Cuba for Spain"

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

The result of the elections held on
Tuesday were very favorable to the
Democrats. Republicans were very
negligent about voting, while the
hard beaten democracy Of 1895 rallied
its strength and made a vigorous
! fight. The great, and probably most
important fight was in Greater New
York, where the contest was for
mayor and q large number of city
officers under the new charter. The
city as it is is doubtless democratic by
small majority. Tammany con-
trolls the democracy and strange as it
may seem is strong on account of it's
corruption. 1t is able to attract to it
self about all of the elements of evil.
Whatever opposes Christianity, tenn
perance, good honest government
and decency is a Tammany ally. The
possibility Of overcoming the evil
was lost through the foolishness and
bitterness of politicians. Platt, the
republican boss, entered the arena as
he always does, and so great is the
antipathy to him that the state at
large revolted against him and lost
it's first candidate of Judge of APP
peals. The result of the city cleo
ton as now given is as follows: Van
Wyck, Tammany democrat, 235, ,1SO;
Low, citizens, 1878; Tracy, repub-
lican, 1O1, ,O33; Henry George, Jeffer-
sonian democrat, 10000. The repub-
licans lose the state but save the
legislature.
Massachusetts goes republican by
81, 900 plurality for Wolcott, with a
legislature overwhelmingly republi-
can. Pennsylvania goes republican
by reputed $4,000 majority. New
Jersey also goes republican but with
reduced majority. Iowa goes re-
publican by large but reduced ma
jority from 1896. Kentucky goes
democratic with majority exceed
ing 10000, ensuring the election of a
democratic senator. Virginia, true
to it's traditions. is democratic. Re-
publicans preferred to lose the cleo
the polls. Both parties claim Ne
braska, but it seems to have gone re-
publican. IF so, the republicans have
beaten the combined forces of Bryan,
the populists and the rag bags of all
sorts. The fight in Ohio has been
very animated and all ofithe repudi-
can opposition, from Bryan, who
stumped the state, to the haters Of
Mark Hanna, have been on the war
path. They came near winning in
the legislature, but reports have it
that the republicans have carried it.
There were very strong appeals to
prejudice and the foreign voters
were whipped into line in opposition
to the victorious party. The election
in Colorado is close betwwe a repub
lican and a populist. The women
failed to get out and vote in large
numbers.

In this country where the per
cent of tickle and "anything for a
change'' voters is so large there is a
consolation in a defeat. The next
election will result in a favor Of the
party defeated this year. There ought
to be stability enough to hold to a
principle and thing long enough to
test it. but thousands of voters are
blown about by the winds of preju-
dice or won over by shouting dema-
gogue to theory false and dangerous.

This is about the season of the 'off''

which have the least influence in po-
litical affairs are making suggestions
about state candidates. Possibly they
have learned that hunting candidates
before the open season is harmful to
themselves and fatal to their nomi-
neeS.

FOREIGN COMMENT.

The Pail Mall Gazette says of Tues
days New York election:
'Such an organization as Tammany
| could not exist in London man or
| an organization once proven guilty of
corruption could never return to pow
er. Tammany, under the leadership
of Croker, has done so in a manner
which must afford food for serious
thought even in city SO accustomed
to bad government as New York;
Westminster Gazette says:
'sThe victory for unprincipled gov
ernment obtained by unprincipled
methods is a grave disappointment to
all believing in free institutions, and
the only thing to do is to wish that
Seth Low and his supporters will be
luckier in the next campaign against
a system which seems to outsiders to
be absolutely intolerable.''
The Morning Post says:
"Tammany's enormous majority
leaves no doubt that the r1mor of an
arrangement between Croker and the
republicans is we'll founded. The
citizens union deserves all sympathy
for it's splendid fight. Mr.. Low gave
republicans an opportunity they may
never have again. The history of
the election shows that one party is
quite as INSCRIPTIONS as the other,
and what is still more important,
shows that there is considerable pub
lie spirit in the new community
There can be no doubt that the Eng
lish government has made distinct
change in it's attitude toward the Do
minion of Canada. For many years
the policy was to relax the intimacy
of the ties with the parent country
lance in the group of Canadian prov
inces. But within a recent period
England has placed new estimate on
the vast slice of North America that
is under it's flag and is drawing nearer
to it politically, counting it's special
demonstrations of loyalty, favoring
it financially and strengthening it's
means of defense. No longer ago
than the ministry of Disraeli, the
colonies and not least of all, Canada,
were considered burden, giving no
adequate return for the care they i'm
posed on the home government. All
that has passed away as far as Canada
is concerned. At the recent jubilee
the Canadian Premier was loaded
with titles and decorations and the
signs are numerous that Canada is
now much on the minds of British
statesmen. The status of the Domin
ion has suddenly risen in Importance.
