The RECENT ELECTIONS.

Indicating That the Democracy Ii Get

Washington. April 7.-Ex-Vice Presi-
lent Stevenson arrived here last light.
and for the next three days will devote
himself to winding up private business
affairs which he has had no time 70 at
tend to previously. Mr.. Stevenson is
now living at his Illinois home and says
lie Intends settling down TO the practice
of law for the present. Politics, he de-
clares, will occur little of his time or
thought for the next few years.
Mr.. Stevenson is disposed to regard
the elections in Chicago yesterday and
in Ohio the day before as indicative of
coalition of the democratic forces and
says the party is gradually but surely
getting back to the old strength of four
years ago. The sentiment for bimetall-
ism, he said. is growing throughout the
west and Will continue to advance, and
the democratic party, he predicts, will
be stronge and in better condition for
the campaign three years hence than
now.
He believes that there is a sentiment
favorable to all elements of democracy
rallying around the old standard and
that in time, and at no long period, the
party viii be more powerful than ever.
The elections, in Mr.. Stevenson's
opinion, should not be construed as an
expression of the people on purely local
matters, but shows that the party is
gradually getting together. The Ohio
victory, he states, is especially signifi-
cant and to his mind is proof hat the
sound money and free silver democrats
are not irrevocably divided.
Mr.. Stevenson will leave here the last
Of the week, and says he will not re-
turn to Washington again for some
time unless business calls him.. He IS
staying at the Normandie, where he
lived four years, and today saw many
Of his colleagues in the senate and
others who called at his apartments.

To Adjust the Pacific Railroads Debts.

Washington, April s.-Senator Gear,
of Iowa, today made a report on the
bill to authorize a commission, consist
ing Of the secretaries of the treasury,
and the interior Inc the attorney gen.
eral to adjust the debts Of the Pacific
railroads to the government. The re-
port reviews in detail the financial con-
dition of the roads and their relations
to the government. The bills for ex-
tending the debts of roads have failed
to pass congress, it is said, because OF
its judgment, that the questions are so
complicated that it could not devote the
requisite time to the reconsideration or
reach satisfactory conclusions. There
fore the thinks it would be
best to express the wishes of
by a plan permitting executive officers,
with the approval of the president, to
make an adjustment with the owners
Of the property.

The Sioux Falls schools have a yaca-
ton Of three weeks and cut off the
spring vacation Of one week. This act
ion was taken because in the dead of
winter it is difficult to heat the school

the attendance falls off, especially in the
lower classes. The change makes a big
saving Of fuel also. Other schools
might adopt tho same plan with decided
advantage to the pupils and taxpayers.
