SOMEBODY has offered to fill
Billy Mason's place in the senate.
without bounty, if the gentleman
desires to shoulder a musket and
go to the war-the GLORIOUS war"
for which he shouted so Justify
but Billy is notthat kind of a man.
He wants war but he has no de-
sire to meet the enemy on the
battle field. Cool headed men
like General Lee are the men who
are willing to fight the Spanish
enemy in Cuba. They did not do
any loud talking, prefering peace
to war, but when war could not be
averted they are the men who are
willing to do battle.

Our government does not ap-
pear to be in any hurry to bonn
bard Havana and it is probable
that this task will be left largely
to a land force. Nothing would
suit Spain better than to have
some of the United States battle
ships crippled in an engagement
like the bombardment OF Havana.
Spain cannot hope to hold Cuba
and Puerto Rico, and it is reasona-
bic to suppose that she would be
willing to give up these possess
ions if she could get a chance to
cripple our navy. for then she
could rule Jus on the water for a
long time.

We have just had a week of wild stormy

American Securities Abroad,

The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advices, very
large abroad of late. If this state of
things holds, there will be an increasing
influx of British gold into this market.
This demonstrates the faith abroad in
the stability of our credit. There is an
other point of faith for which the people
not only of this but foreign countries have
good grounds for credence, and that is
belief in the efficacy of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters for inorganic maladies which
effect the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys
and nerves. Dyspepsia, bi~liousness, con

by it. 1t hastens convalescence, and

New York. Nov. 10. - The latest
figures obtainable indicate The election
of Col. Roosevelt as governor Of New
York by Il plurality of 2l,2S6.
Only ten counties in the state
gave Van Wyck pluralities. and they
were all localities swayed by cities,
as New York. Kings, Queens and Erie.
The falling off in Roose vclt's plurali-
~ as compared with Blacks in 1S96
is due to a decrease in the Republican
vote up the state Of 61.r0O ana in
Greater New York Of G2,OOO. Against
this Van Wyck gained 10000 above
the Harlem and $1,000 below it as
compared with Porter two years ago.
The result on congressman in this
state seems to have surprised even
Democrats themselves. Nineteen of
their candidates were elected. the Re
publicans getting but fifteen. In the
present house the New YClk delegation
stands twenty-seven Republicans to
six Democrats. In Greater New York
all the Democratic candidates were
elected. After the gubernatorial con-
test as much interest was taken in the
state legislature as in anything else.
The state senate was Republican by
four and the assembly by nineteen.
Political interest from now on will
center about the senatorship. Already
discussion as to the possible aSpirantS
has begun. So far there is no an
nounced candidate and the Republican
organization has rot yet declared
itself.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Chairman

Of representatives of the Fifty-sixth

doubt. He said: "rhere can be no
longer any reasonable argument over
the political complexion of the next

Republican beyond the shadow Of
Goubt. Our advises show the certain
election Of 1S5 Republicans; six more
than enough to give us control"
At the headquarters of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee conf
dence is expressed that Democrats
will control the 11ext house of repre-
sentatives. Secretary Kerr will not
conccde many Of the claims made by
ChairIHan Babcock, of the Republican

The average person if asked to name
The most precious metal would men
ton gold, yet there are many less
known metals that are worth far more.
Gold is worth $3.50 per pound, troy
weight. Barium, the metal which Davy
isolated from it's ore, baryta in 1903,
sells for $3.50 pound, when it is sold
at all, and calcium is worth $1,000 a
pound. Cirium is shade higher; it's
cost is $3.50 an ounce, or 1920 per
pound. These begin to look like fabu-
lous prices, but they do not reach the
highest point, chromium being 5000.
Cobalt falls to about half the price Of
silver, while didymium, the metal iso-
lated by Masander, is the same price
as calcium. Then comes gallium.
which is worth 1920 an ounce. With
this metal the highest price is reached,
and it may well be called the rarest
and most precious Of metals. Glucium
is worth $3.50 per ounce, idium $3.50,
iridium 1858 a pound, janthanium SITS.
and lithium $3.50 per ounce. Nidium
costs 1928 per ounce, osmium, palla-
dunn, platinum, potassium and rho
dunn bring respectively $640, $500. $3.50,
