THE LESSON OF AN ELECTION.

The significance OF the election in
the Sixth Illinois district last Tuesday
is fully impressed upon at least one
Republican paper, and that is the
Pittsburg Dispatch. It says that the
election of Boutelle over Perkins has
a significance that ought not to be
missed. 1t calls attention to the fact
that the district is in Chicago, and
populated mainly by the plain and
handwriting middle class, but that it
contains many leading and influential
citizens. 1t then says that the district
in 1886 gave the Republican congress
sional representative 5000 majority,
and that one year later it gave the Re
publican candidate on the same issues
the narrow plurality of $40.
What does all this signify to the
Dispatch? This is largely due, it de-
clares, to the lack Of interest, less than
half the vote of 1886 being cast. But
it finds an analysis of this feature by
no means reassuring to the sound
money men. The sound money vote
falls off 60 per cent; the silver and
greenback vote falls off a shade less
than AZ per cent. 1T is plain.'' says
the Dispatch, that a continuance of
the same decrease, or a full vote, with
the same relative change, extended
over the entire nation, would deliver
the government over to Organism"
And what is the lesson that the Dis
patch draws from this? 1T would not
be discreet it says, ito take this as
the mere faulty of an off year. One
fact gives it more Importance than
that. Secretary Cages position natu-
rally attracts attention in Chicago, of
which city he is a leading citizen. The
Marquette club, before which he has
exploited his desire to retire the legal
tenders at the cost of increasing the
bonded debt, took an active part in
the election. It is certainly permissi-
bic, in the face of such an extraordi-
nary falling Off in the vote, to conclude
that his attempt to verify the charge
that the election of Mckinley meant an
increase of debt for this very purpose
has either alienated certain proper
ton of last years vote or caused a
larger proportion of the Republicans to
stay at home and not vote at ALL
The Sixth Illinois congressional dis
trict election has its own peculiar sig
nificance without any reference to Sec
rotary Cages currency reform plan; il
means that the people are again look
ing to the Democratic party and the
free coinage of silver for that relief
for which they blindly hoped wher
they voted for Mckinley and the gold
standard. Secretary Cages currency
reform plans are serving as a splendid
incentive to the people to look else
where than to the administration fol
the true solution of the nations finan.
cial difficulties.
That Illinois election has its signif-
canoe and it is very much greater thar
any gold standard advocate cares tt
admit.

EXAGGERATED CUBAN STORIES.

That the condition of Cuba as the
result of nearly three years of war is
terrible there can be no doubt; neither
can there be any doubt that many of
the stories sent out from Cuba are
such gross exaggerations that they
may very fifty be termed lies. Such an
exaggerated story is sent in the form
of O. dispatch from Havana to the
New York World. It says that When
the grim returns are all in it is now
almost certain that this Cuban mas
sacre of the innocents will reach AGO.
600; that this awful number does not
include those killed in battle or the
thousands and thousands of women
and children who have died of ex-
posture, disease and massacre in the
swamps. and that it now seems GER
tain that more than half million peo-
pie, for the most part loyal subjects of
Spain, have been killed by the Spanish
war in Cubar

WHY THERE rs WANT IN TIE
KLCNDIKE

The stories now coming from the
ger, with prospective famine, and not
of vast fortunes being found. At pres
ent it is the land of misfortune rather
than anything else. 1t is possible that
the stories of distress are as eXagger-
ated as the stories of wealth have been
This is a case where one would be glad
to know that the tales of distress are
greatly exaggerated
The rigors of the winter season are
much greater in the far north where
the Klondike is than in our own coun-
try. When the winter season sets in
there is little or no chance of getting
out and the country around furnishes
little or no food of any kind The
hunter may range through the woods
and the fisherman drop his line
through a hole into the ice-bound
streams, but all in vain. There may be
gold in abundance, but gold in album
dance in a land where there is no food
to be bought is but a mockery.
But why is there scarcity of food
threaten? Because men are IMPROVE
dent, trusting to luck when they know
there can be no luck in the matter of
food supplies. 1t is the same old story
in the Klondike with which the world
everywhere is so familiar, only the
conditions are harder there than al
most anywhere else. 1t is but repe-
tition of the story of the thrifty and
the thriftless The thrifty who went
to the Klcndike were we'll aware of
the conditions that would confront
them and made ample provision to
meet them. The thriftless were equally
well aware Of the conditions that would
| confront them, but they made little or
no provision to meet them. That is the
whole trouble in the Klondike today
1t is said that those who have plenty
of food supplies for themselves have
little sympathy with those who have
not. One cannot blame them for their
lack Of sympathy, for it means that
they will have to go on short rations
that their fellow men may not starve;
and this in turn means that they have
lost a year in the Klondike It may
not be possible to get relief to the
miners on the Klondike, but every eff
fort should be made to succor them.
1t has been said that all man hath
will he give for his life; and then he
! will give his life for gold.

TIE SALT HERALD: TUESDAY. NOVEMBER

acy with the mob to lynch their pris-
oner. What Georgia needs are officers
who will not shirk their duty in such
a case as this.
Senator jeff Wilcox of the Fifth dis
trict:
/ know of no legislation on the part
of the general assembly whereby lynch
ing can be prevented in Georgia, save
the prevention of the crime which leads
up to it, My views are those laid down
in the governors message. I don't be-
lieve, though, that a prisoner charged
with such a crime as rape should be
armed by the authorities.
/ hardly know, while I do not approve
OF it, but lynching is the best thing in
some instances. People living in large
cities with adequate police and military
protection, look upon lynching as a
terrible thing; but let them get down
in the turpentine regions or any other
part of Georgia. where the country is
sparsely settled, and where our women
are at the mercy of the negro brute,
and they will find that lynching is
sometimes necessary to quell the COM
mission of this shocking crime.
All this does not indicate a very
strong anti-lynching sentiment in the
Georgia legislature. One representative
said that I'VE in the south only lynch
people for rape or an attempt to rape"
but such a statement is all nonsense.
Only a few DAYS ago a man in the
south was burned at the stake for MUIR
der
Senator Yancey Carter seems to have
had a truer appreciation of the cause
of lynching than any other member of
the legislature interviewed. He says
that if an officer had the true man
hood about him TO properly execute the
duties entrusted to him, lynchings in
Georgia would be greatly mitigated.
But how to get such officers where the
sentiment in favor Of lynching is so
prevalent as it appears to be in Geor-
gia, is indeed difficult matter. The
cause of the trouble lies with the peo-
pie Many seem to think that the rem
edy is the education of the people. If
their sentiments on the subject could
be properly educated the lynchings
would cease in large measure. That
education must come chiefly through
| the agency of the press.
But let it be remembered that the
crime of lynching is not confined to
the south; it exists in OHIO and in Da-
kota, and it was threatened in New
York but a few days since. The whole
country furnish a field for a campaign
of education against lynching.

STILL PREPARING FOR WAR

London, June 10.-The Constantinople
correspondent of the Standard says:
AT Tuesdays conference of the am
bassadOrs for the discussion of the terms
of peace, Tewtik Pasha, was present,
armed with categorical instructions to
persist in the retention of Thessaly given
him by the Sultan personally. When the
conference ended the Sultan summoned
his ministers to a special council at the
Yildiz Kiosk, which sat until 2 o'clock
in the morning of Wednesday. The de-
cision arrived at was that the evacuation
of Thessaly was impossible, but that there
was no necessity for precipitate action.
Being in possession Of the Porte, it was
argued, he was able to wait patiently and
even indefinitely while discussing acad-
emically points after points with the pow
ers. 1t was also decided to continue ac-
lively the preparations for war.
