THE ANSWER.

publican contemporaries TO eject the
lava OF indignation against the Ga

fires of love FOR the negro and hatred
of the southern Democrats burn nowhere
more fiercely than In the bosom OF the
Press, whose editor, as Mr.. McKlnley's
Postmaster-General. has. by dotting
North Carolina over with negro postmas-
tiers. done more than any other man in
the country to intensity the conditions

FICANCE OF OUR GAINS.

The Democratic congressional gains IN
Tuesdays elections were not as large as
we had hoped they would be, but none
the less. they were large enough TO be
very significant. And no less significant
Is the manner in which some of the most
ardent of the administration organs treat
the result.
1t Is not to be denied that despite the
load of Algerism Mr.. Mckinley had TO
carry. so long as he gave hope that he
would withstand the pressure Of the I'm
pcrialists and prove loyal to the purpose
we professed in engaging in the war
with Spain, the prospects of the Demo-
Gratis as to the November elections were
not over bright. But when it became ap-
parent that the President was yielding
10 the influences of Hanna, Grosvenor,
Foraker. and other rabid Imperialists
the situation began to change. Finally
when it developed that the western
"swing around was the baldest kind of
partisan stumping tour in he cause of
Imperialism, the Democrats accepted the
challenge
Mr.. Mckinley had proclaimed that he
wanted an expression Of popular feeling
as TO what should be our future course
regarding the Philippines. He got it in
Tuesdays elections. When we consider
the strong grasp upon the people pre-
vious war presidents have managed to
retain, and the fact that in many of the
States the Democratic party went into
the canvas disorganized and divided,
and consider that some OF our heaviest
gains were in the section Mr.. Mckinley
and members Of his official household
etumped, with a view TO working up a
public sentiment in favor of our becom
ing, as Lord Salisbury so aptly expressed
Il. a factor Aslatic, the result is nothing
less than an emphatic vote Of want OF
confidence" in the administration 1t is
On emphatic protest against Imperialism.
And the correctness of this view is ac-
centuated by the tone of the administra-
ton organs referred to above These ig
more the bearing of the Imperialistic is
sue on the elections. and are seeking to
account for the Democratic gains on va
rlous other grounds.
But the rebuke to the administration
on the Philippines question does not
cover all that is significant in the result.
The Democratic gains carry with them
>unmistakable evidence that the Demo-
Gratis throughout the country are getting
together again, and Gas a consequence
they are full of encouragement as to the
future. Even II they do not hold the
promise Of causing the administration
10 go shower, or Of influencing the Senate
TO stand firm against Imperialism, the
probabilities they point to touching 1900
open up the prospect of mitigation OF
the evils of Imperialism. should Imperial
ism be consummated, by stopping reck
less extravaganza in the matter of civil
izing our new wards" In n word, all
things considered there is in our gains
everything TO inspire us for the national
struggle OF two years hence. They are
pregnant with portents Of Democratic
success in 1900, and incentives t4'stead-
fasiness In the fight Of the people against
Capitalization.

Why Roosevelt WOn-Mr. CrOker's
Explanation.
New York Journal)

'The chief cause of Van Wyck's defeat
was the popularity of the soldier can
didate. Had Roosevelt run for Governor a
day after he returned from Cuba he would
have been elected by 100000 majority
Had the election been held a week la;er
he would have been defeated by 25,000
IL Admiral Dewey ran for President Of
the United States tomorrow on the DEM
ooratic ticket he would carry every State
in the Union. Had Admiral Dewey op.
posed Roosevelt as the Democratic candi-
date for Governor the Republicans would
have been overwhelmed.
THE Democracy of Greater New York
never did better. 1t gave $1,000 majority
to the ticket. Flower was elected Gov
ernor when ii gave only 1900. Hill him
self. when candidate, never carried the
territory by any such vote The success
of Captain Chanler over Quigg illustrates
the popularity of the soldier candidate.
He won in a district that was Republican
by 11.000, and carried it by handsome
majority"
what else have you to say in regard
to the conduct of the campaign outside Of
the city?"
II had nothing to do with the campaign
outside Of New York. The rest of the
State was in charge of the State Com
mittee and others. As TO what they did.
l have nothing to say"

The New York Herald says that in Sal.

Philippines and our interests there, its
Uhe Herald's) London correspondent finds
a general belief that they mean an en-
tente cordiale between the United States
ard Great Britain as against the preten-
sions of Germany and Russia. The En-
peror of Germany's intended visit to
Cadiz is adds the Herald, evidently a
topic Of absorbing European interest, and
ore, too. in which we have the deepest
concern.
The Heralds London correspondent has,
no doubt, struck it" as to the meaning
Of the British Premier's guarded refer
ences." AS to Williams Cadiz visit, it
may mean a great deal, and then again
it may mean nothing at ALL and we need
not lose any sleep over 1t until there are
definite developments on that point. Ger
tainly, so far his Majesty of Germany
has given us no tangible reason to be-
lieve that he really wants to get into

ming shot through both arms and Sc
riously injured with double barrel shot
gun in the hands of John w. Brown, an

suit of Mr.. Keiter's attempt to obtain
possession Of some sheep which Brown
claimed. Mr.. Keiter had identified the
sheep as his, and accompanied by his
son. Harry Keiter, started TO drive them
home, when Brown appeared and opened
