Fifth Ward.

In a political sense, the Fifth NUM-
cipal ward. under normal conditions. is
Overwhelmingly Republican and non
Mormon, especially toward the west
end. This year conditions are not con-
sidered normal, and all day yesterday
the look of anxiety was apparent on
the countenanceS of everyone who were
deeply Interested in the election. At no
time during the day did the workers Of
either of the three leading parties man
MeSt any confidence in q result faVora-
bic to them. The votes were slow COM
ing in and every indication was toward
an unusual amout OF scratching in the
booths. Throughout the east end OF the
Fifth it looked like a ground swell for
Clark: III the central part ii was more
favorable for Doremus. while in the
business district, east of Main street.
Dale appeared to have the lead. In all
the nine voting districts, however, the
Republican council ticket was conceded
to be the winner, but little discussion
was heard over the balance OF Che can
didates on any of the tickets.
The density of population in the Fifth
and the convenient location of the poll
ing places. together with the splendid
weather, should have conduced 20 an
unprecedentedly large percentage of
voting, but the aggregate vote failed
20 reach the proportions expected. We

Apparent Indifference on the part of

Seldom was there any rush at the polls.
Challenging was but little INDUCED in
and from no poll was any attempted
fraudulent voting reported. No dis
turbance or unusual incidents occurred.
and the earnestness of candidates and
workers did not even reach the point of
enthusiasm.
One Of the few incidents worthy of
mention was enacted at the Fiftieth
voting place. at the Templeton. Bishop
~ A Empey, whose ecclesiastical do
main takes in the Fiftieth district. was
observed seated in g comfortable chair
near the entrance to the booths He
was not a judge, a checker. chal-
lenger or a watcher, and hence had no
lawful right to be within such close
proximity TO the scene of the voting.
He rested in the chair for such a length
of time that some Of the easily dis
turDed observers believed his presence
was in the interest of his brother-in-
law, John Clark. and that his silent
electioneering would have an influence
over his flock. Just as some of the
workers for the Democratic and Repub-
lican tickets were planning his ousting
friend of Bishop Empey, in a whis-
per. warned him of the danger that
threatened him. The bishop was quick
to act and walked down the street. re-
marking that ne had not the slightest
idea that his presence SO near the
booths was unlawful or objectionable
He had intended no Improperly what.
ever, and had only seated himself after
voting because he was tired and n0
feeling well.

reason to think that the faint light
which we can see in darkness, or with

Gated "in those higher centers of the
brain which are connected with visual

connection has been observed between
these cerebral-light figures and the

such figures.

The Proper Color for warships.

The order just issued by Secretary LoNG
to give Commander KIMBALL's hotilla
coats Of bottle green is the result of ex.
periments lasting through years.
The proper color for warships is a matter
as important in it's way as that of the
uniforms of soldiers. AS scarlet and other
brilliant hues have been found to make
troops conspicuous targets, compared, for
example, with dark blue, or with the gray
and the butternut that the Confederate
armies wore, 30 experience shows that
there is a decided preference as to the colors
for vessels. when the object is that of es-
Gaping an encmy's attention.
Germany, after exhaustive experiments,
adopted blush gray for her coast defence
ships and torpedo boats, although yellow
ish brown was also at one time much ia
vored, as being not conspicuous but the
blush gray was the least distinguishable
under electric light. The French long &
chose for their coast guard ships a lead
color, with q slight tinge of green and
this had an excellent service test in the
Gillian war on the torpedo boats Lynch
and Condell, which entered Iquique and
Coquimbo harbors, and were scarcely visi.
DIG dlUcT Qhrh u lew nuuuTcu 1ecU away.
The blockade runners in our civil war were
painted a lead color, and the Gushing has
worn that among the other coats of various
hues to which she has been subjected.
But, on the whole, while the French gray,
the reddish brown, and other colors nave
shown good results in practice, it has been
decided that for our coasts, keeping in
mind, also, other advantages of the color,
bottle green is best.

popular, and the new phrase, 1.-THE white

The Same Fight.

In a speech at the ratification meeting Of
the Massachusetts, Republicans in the Bos-
ton Music Hall, Senator HENRY CABOT
LODGE set forth plainly the continuing
necessity Of Republican success at the No
vember elections:
There ia not q man. Democrat IL he be. or Republic
can. who. II he know that in every election now pend
ing in this country. from Ohio to Massachusetts, the
Republican candidates were absolutely sure of cleo
tion. would not feel II was absolutely all right as far
rs business was concerned. In other words, the dread
of last year is still strong upon the public mind. and
the public mind is quite right. Last yoar We faced tho
greatest danger. not merely to good business, but to
the orderly and en1cient conduct Of Government, that
we have ever faced At an election in our history. All
the patriotic. conservative elements OF the communi.
ty rallied under the standard of the Republican party
to prevent these great dangers which they saw threat
ening our business and our honor as q nation. We
won on that line. 1t Is just as important this year a.
It was last year. This is no time for disunion or for
quarrel among the people who desire tho same thing,
who want sound money and an ample revenue and q
we'll conducted Government. In order to have those
things. and in order to have continued good business,
we must stand by the same organization which offered
the only standard for all those forces last year. and
that was the Republican party
If there are any New York business men
VINO Imagine tndI tueS Cdn ailoTu W euudn-
ger Republican success in the municipal
election, they are not we'll advised as to
their own interests and those Of the coun-
try in general. If they are not working for
Gen. TRACY, they are contributing directly
to a sensational reversal of the victory Of
1896 and to making business prospects un-
certain and shaky once more.
Both patriotic and selfish considerations
render it necessary for all the business men
and their employees who voted for the Re-
publican national ticket to vote for it again,
to vote to sustain the Administration and
keep business secure by voting for the Re-
publican local ticket.
Good government and good money and
good order we're not put beyond the reach
OF successful attack by the election CT 1896.
They must be defended as long as they are
attacked. Here in the business capital Of
the United States they are attacked vigor-
ously and dangerously. The attack must
be repealed. The Republican ticket must
be elected. 1t is the same fight.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-The annual report OF
Brig. Gen. G. Norman Lieber. Judge Advocate

listed men were tried by court-martial, o de-

charge against the enlisted men. Only two
men were tried for drunkenness. their arrest

being drunk ana disordcrly, and los for plain
drunkenness. Gen. Liebcr directs attention to
the insuficiency of the present reward for the
apprehension OF dcserters.
Formerly" he says, the amount OF reward
was not fixed by statute, but was left to the Sec
rotary OF War TO regulate. For many years $40
was the amount designated, but this not being
considered sufficient IL WINS increased to $50. In
1894 the power OF fixing the amount was taken
away from the Secretary OF War by Congress- it.

Governor Black Tonight.

Tonight FRANK S. BLACK, Governor OF
the State of New York, made so by the Re
publican party. will illustrate, at the Lenox
Lyceum, the principles of American poll
tics which Mr.. SETH Low has been striving
desperately to overthrow, but which the
mass of American citizens hold In their
hearts as vital to the perpetuation Of the
republic. Mr.. BLACK. a citizen Of Troy,
comes not as Governor, but as a member of
the party that stands for the principles
embodied in the st. Louis platform, to urge
other members of that party and all voters
who believe in that platform to support the
Republican candidate for Mayor of New
York, the Hon. BENJAMIN f. TRACY.
This is what Mr.. Low would have the
New York voters look upon as an intrusion,
and as a violation Of what he and his little
CLIQUE of despots call "home rule" Being
n self-made nominee without a party, and
Boosting egotistically that his only plat
form is the simple Mayors oath that all
Mayors take, he seeks to deprive Gen.
TRACY Of the help Of the conservative SEN
timent throughout the country, and greets
its representatives who come here accord
ing to the habit Of the nation, with Insults,
and with sneers that they are foreigners.
He even compares their action with the
British misrule or interference" as he
calls it, that drove the American colonies
into revolution. A more monstrous propo-
sition than Mr.. Lows and a more selfish,
discordant, and dIsintegrating sentiment
than his has not been manifested since the
attempted destruction of the Union.
We predict that the people of New York
will rebuke this Tory sentiment ofthe Citi-
gems Union candidate by receiving Gov
ernor BLACK with a warmth Of enthusiasm
that will make his visit memorable in this
towns history, and show that they are
still democrats. still believers in the repub-
lican system Of party government, and
mistaken In their devotion to the prin-
ciples Of st. Louis.
There will be before Governor BLACKS
eyes, as there has been before Mr.. Lows at
his every effort to confne the campaign Of
the Citizens Union to municipal issues
only, the evidence Of the gross deception Of
the Low canvass. We refer to the Citizens
Unions nomination of candidates for mem.
bers Of the State Legislature. This fraud
upon their own pr~etensions shows that
even In their minds the politics Of New
York State and the politics of New York
city are inseparably bound together.
We welcome Governor BLACK as q patri-
otto American, and we Join with him in
urging tho election Of BENJAMIN F. TRACY
Is the representative Of the best govern
ment that can come to New York city, n
of the happiest political augury for the fu-
ture that the election of 1897 can bring to
the United States at large. This city, a
part of the State. and this State, a part of
the nation, have ommon interests; and,
before the campaign of 1896, never were
these interests so overwhelming in their
importance as they arc to-day in the Great
or New York.
