The Negative Triumph.

Doubtless the Anaconda Standard
has burned no little red fire over the
"ncgative triumph Of silver in New
York. Negative triumphs are inval-
liable political paraphesnalia, bnt it
is not often that we see one: and
when one is thrown at our feet by a
resident of England it.deserves hot
welcome.
Few things can be clearer than
that Croker and Platt we're and are
lin partnership in Greater New York
politics: that both Platt and Croker
were for spoils and against Low and
George. The death of Henry George
lesscned the complication and
brought back the conditions Of 1886,
when the republican machine had to
save the spoils system by throwing a
mass OF votes from Roosevelt to
Hewitt. #....:-..-.. -."5@ ..-
With Croker and P]att in partner
ship, with Platt against silver and
Croker caring nothing for it, with a
virtual reputation Of the whole Chi
,cago platform by Tammany, and with
Croker controlling Tammany shat
."negativc triumph" for silver looms
up like a e. olera bacillus under a
microscope.
AS the Standard said recently:
"With ols people, thel;ltimate gain
for free coinage is the essential
factor in the New York fight" And
now the ultimate gain has won its
negative triumph. and mot in New
York alone. In Maryland German
wins on a silver straddlc. In Chica-
go looms Carter Harrison who went
to New York to help Croker, as d
participant in the "negatiye tri'
umph."
Crokeg's victory in New York may
be a negative triumph for silver, but.
what is of vastly more Importance tt
the Standard, it is positive triumpl
for +'unscientihc taxation" And fol
this we congratulate the Standard
Croker and German are in IA position
to demand that the campaign O.

Final Results Of the Elections OF Last
Week in the Several States.

Final Results Of the Elections Of Last
Week in the Several States.
The following is a brief summary
Of the results of the elections held
last week. 1T varies little from the
first estimates, given in the last
issue, except that later, returns show
that the combination Of DEMOCRATS
and populists in Colorado beat the
combination Of all classes of rcpubli-
cans on the supreme judge by a slight
majority: that instead of the demo-
Gratis carrying the legislature Of
Maryland the republicans have a
good working majority, insuring the
election Of a republican United
States senator to succeed German,
and that the republicans have made
big gains in Kansas and elected nine
out Of thirteen district judges, the
.dcmocrat-poRulists electing the other
four: .."g5.
in Greater New. York, Van Wyck,
the Tamlnany .candidatc,. is elected
mayor by $4,000 plurality oyer Low,
who beat Tracy some 10000. in the
state Of New York, Parker, the
Tammany democratic candidate for
supreme judge, wins by some $4,000.
The Low people in the city Of New
York did not put Judge Wallacc's
enough votes that way to beat him.
The legislature Of New York is re-
publican by Il good working majority:
insuring a republican Uuitcd States
senator to succeed Murphy, the dem
ocratic incumbent.
In Ohio, GOV. Bushnell, republican,
is reelected by over $4,000, and the
legislature will have five republican
majority on joint ballot, which will
elect Senator Hanna for full term.
In this state the democrats sWal-
lowed the populists entirely and
were also helped by the silver rcpub-
Leans on the legislative tickets.
Nearly complete official returns
from Maryland show that in the
state senate the republicans will
have IS senators to the democrats
eight, and in thesho will have IS
members to the democrats II, q ma
jorty on joint ballot Of II.
J In kentucky the silver democratic
: nominee for clerk of the court Of APP
peals, the only Office voted for, has 4
plurality Of 10000.
In Iowa Shaw, republican candi-
| date for governor, has plurality OF
3d. 900.
In Nebraska the republicans made
gains iin county officers, but the dem
ocratic-populist-silvcrr republican cam
didatc for supreme Judge will have
5000 majority, 4 slight falling of
7 from Bryan's majority last year.
In Massachusetts Gov. WolcOtt is
reelected by the republicans by oycl
100, 600.
! PENNSYLVANIA went at least 130, ,0O(

Mathews House.

Some years ago a San Francisco
| banker maintained country house
upon what We're supposed to be en-
tirely original lines. It was, how
ever, poor imitation of the estab-
lishment Of Mr.. Mathew of Thomas
ton, Ireland, who lived in the ear
lier years OF the last century. MI.
Mathew inherited an annual income
of about $125, 900. For many years
he lived abroad in a very frugal
manner in order to accumulate an
amount that would enable him to
indulge in form Of hospitality in
his own country in harmony with
the plan he had devised. His house
in Ireland might be compared in
*size with a modern hotel. Each Of
those he wanted to visit him had a
suit Of apartments and ordered his
lmeals at the hour that best suited
.him. He could eat alone or he
could invite others to join him. All
,the visitors hunted, shot, fished,
:played billiards or cards at will,
and all brought their own horses.
There was regular bar where
sdrinks were served without stint.
Mr.. Mathew as host completely
seffaced himself. He mingled with
This visitors as. one whose stay was
as definitely fixed as theirs. In fact,
he conducted his house as if it were
hotel, with the exception that all
was without charge. No servant
was allowed to accept a tip. Viola.
tion of this rule was followed by
the instant dismissal Of the Offend
'er. This establishment, unlike other
country houses Of Ireland Of the
period, was conducted with perfect
order and method and without
waste. His hospitality was lavish
and attracted Ito Mr.. Mathew all of
the more famousslnen Of 1.-THE time
The great sum that he had put aside
during his residenceabroad enabled
him to indulge his hospitable in

a Country Where They foot and Jcer
at Americans.

White Caldwell last week received
"a letter from IA friend at Livingston,
Guatamala. It was written October
.17th, and the writer, Chas. Wreford,
says that the revolutionists are APP
preaching Livingston and were ex-
ypected to arrive there the next day.
He and his wife had buried all their
effects Of value and were fearful lest
;their lives would be taken.
The writer says that the Amcri-
,cans and the Americana flag are .jeered
at and .hooted. Ihe flag, wherever
found is taken, torn into shreds, spit
,on and used as door mat. The con-
~suls from this country can do nothing
ihecause they are not backed up by an
American gunboat, or in fact, list
pened to by the authorities at Wash
sington. The writer says that lie
wishes that he was in Washington
for few hours to open the eyes of
athe president to the need Of protect
!ing Americans in Central AE1erica,
swhere a good trade awaits this coun-
.try.
He says that none Of the natives
.dare offer an insult to the British
alag. They know: better. 1t and the
English ale treated with the utmost
respect, and the Americans who come
out alive down there will have to
seek the protection oftthe English.
Mr.. Wreford lis greatly alarmed
'oyersthe prospect and theaconclu-
-sion Of the letter hreathos a prayer
for safety.
The letter is one calculated Ito al
most make an American ashamed Of
llis country. With our warslips
hanging around Newport and other
society centers, the American citizens
of Central America are suffering all
,lsinds Of nities.-Chronicle.

High wheat prices under a reDub-

coincidence, but here is an interesting
record: An examination Of the quo
tations shows that in 80, 'S3, 81 and

Chester A. Arthur, republican, was
then president. In 'S6, 81, IS and

In 80, '9l, '92 and '93 wheat averaged
81 to SO cents. Benjamin Harrison,

'95, and '0G wheat averaged from G3
down to A6 cents, the lowest price for
