The Recent Elections.

Again our friends on the other
side burst forth in exultation
over the fact that Chicago and
Cincinnati went Democratic. But
while they make agreat display
of the above returns they seek
to hide in some dark and neg
lected corner those from the old
Democratic stronghold of st.
Louis. In West Virginia, too,
the late municipal elections in
dictate the permanency of Repub-
lican rule. When the Democracy
studies the election returns with
little intelligence says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, it will find
that its joy was too precipitate
and pronounced. Another con-
test, that in Rhode Island, has
taken place since the Democratic
paeans reached their highest
pitch, and the result was precise
" the samoa rousing Republi-
can victory-as it was in nearly
all the recent canvasses in which
national issues were in any shape
involved. As every reasonable
being knows, municipal contests
in three out of four instances
turn on local and personal issues
and do not touch national affairs
even remotely. In such contests
) there are often three or four
tickets in the field, and the vote
among individual members OF
each ticket frequently varies
within wide limits. The person
who could, with any sort of con-
fdence, base an estimate of the
relative strength of the Repuoli-
Acan and Democratic parties in o
Presidential election on the vote
of the Republican, the Demo-
cratic, the Independent Republi-
can. the Independent Democratic,
the Citizens, the Reform and the
rest of the tickets in contests for
aldermen and constables would
touch heights in the. psychology
of mathematics that Newton and
Laplace never got within sight

The Elkias Bill.

The speech of Senator Elklns
, the Senate last week went
laundering around the world. It
LAS heard in England, France
Ind Germany-it spoke for a
Great share of their carrying
Erade. The Mail and Express IN.
e. says editorially
The principle involved in the
Elkins bill is almost as old as
Commerce itself. It's the genesis
f the protective idea. Every
maritime nation with any sea
hover worth having has at one
lime cr another made discrimina-
lion, ia favor of her own ships
81 against those of other coun-
fries This is precisely the idea
embodied in the bill. The mea-
sure proposes to encourage
american shipbuilding just as
HE tariff now encourages Ameri-
can manufactures. 1t will do this
by requiring imports brought to
this country in foreign vessels to
pay 10 per cent. more duty Than
those brought here in American
ships. To restore our shipping
to its proper place as a great
National interest is q duty OF
paramount Importance. AS q
project in business enterprise as
we'll as a measure of National
safety and commercial progress
it commends itself to the highest
patriotism and intelligence.
From this standpoint the Elkins
bill appeals to the support of
every American citizen who be-
lieyes that the Stars and Stripes
are worthy to float above the
fleets Of the sea.

STILL HAS FAITH.
Captain Windrow Says That Andree
Will Yet Return.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Captain John
Windrow, of San Francisco, does not
believe the story that Professor An
dree's balloon was seen floating in the
ocean by ships captain. The captain
is visiting his brother, DR.. S. Windrow,
OF 233 Lasalle avenue. He has re.
turned from Sweden, where he visited
his relatives among whom is the fam
lily of Professor Andree's brother. The
captain said:
L was in Stockholm when the news
arrived that Andree had left Spitz-
bergen in his balloon. His family,
that is, his rother's-Andree is not
married-fully believe that he will be
heard from. Andree told them that if
no news was received from him i'm two
months, probably nothing would he
heard for year, as he then would have
landed in such a locality that it would
require months for him and his party
to reach locality where they could
communicate with the outside world.
My own belief is that Andree has
struck southwest wind, as these are
the winds that most usually prevail at
this time of the year in the northern
latitudes, and that he has been carried
into Siberia, and it may be months be-
fore he will be heard from.
As to the story of vessel having
passed balloon floating in the sea,
that is good yarn for landsmep,
Ihere is not captain SO inhuman, so
absolutely without senses that he
would not at once send a boat to inyes.
tigate the thing, and, anyhow, the bas-
ket and provisions that Andree carried
with him weighed six tons and would
SINK the balloon when immersed in
water. Never fear, Andree will be
heard from, depend upon it,"
