The election in Delaware on Tuesday
resulted in complete Republican
victory. Tho Republicans elected their
candidate for Representative in Con-
gress and their State ticket by ma
Jority OF ct least LOU. They also
elected their county tickets in each OF
the three counties. And, more i'm
portant than all, they elected ma
jority on joint ballot OF the next
Legislature, and Will thus have 1t in
their power to elect successor to
Senator George Gray. In its legis-
iation, however, not having majority
OF the Senate, VIII be restrained.
That this result is crushing dis
appointment to great many good
citizens there is no use to deny. But
the people have so voted and there is
nothing to do but submit. The
greatest regret is the loss to the State
OF the services OF Senator Gray in tho
Senate. Since the formation OF our
government Delaware has always had
one Senator-and at times two-who
was the peer OF any of his colleagues.
But when George Gray gives way to
his Republican successor, the State of
Delaware will become mere cipher in
the Senate Of the United States.
No doubt many reasonable causes
can be assigned for this political dis
aster in Delaware = this practically
turning the State over to the opposi-
tion party-but it is useless to sc
into details. 1t is sufficient to say that
the Democratic, party has been toe
heavily burdened-so much so thai
even the nomination of unusually goot
State and local candidates this yeal
could not save it from condemnation

The Election. rhroucnop, N, ooun,rv.

The elections throughout the coun-
try, Tuesday, went generally in Re-
publican direction, though the results
showed notable Democratic gains. The
phenomenal Republican maiorities in
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland, and other Eastern States
were almost entirely dissipated, and
the Democratic vote returned to some
what near its normal proportions.
The Democrats gained number of
Representatives, but the next House
will be reliably Republican as will the
next Senate. The administration, will,
therefore, have political friend in
Congress during the remainder of its
term. j,
One significant feature of the voting
was the enormous gains made by the
Democrats in the Eastern States, with
the money question practically elimi-
mated from the campaign, at least as
far as Democratic platforms are con.
cerned.
There is powerful object lesson fol-
Democratic leaders all over the country
in this salient fact.

United States. Tho tobacco is milder,
and there is no flayoring introduced
into 1t nor any chemical process re-
sorted TO in treating it.
There are $1,000 Americans in Ma
nila now, and they take very kindly to
the better grades of Manila cigars, and
freely predict a revolution in the cigar
industry in the United States in the
event of the annexation of Luzon or
the Philippine group. The cigarettes
are also made Of pure tobacco. The
entire industry has suffered ON account
of the inferior grades that are shipped
from here, and Manila cigars have
been unfairly condemned.
The average small native planter
grows no moro tobacco and does no
more work than is absolutely necessary
TO earn living. He plants in Novem-
Der and gamers in March, and in the
interim raises what maize he needs for
his house and farm. He has no other
cares and borrows none. He pockets
the market price when the buyer
arrives, and it keeps him until he
comes again. He has to sort his leaves
into five sizes and bundle them into
manos, each of which contains 1G0
leaves, and there end his troubles.
There are eight large and between
fifty and one hundred small factories
in Manila, and the former employ from
400 to 1000 operatives each. In the
manufacture of the better grades of
cigars men and boys are employed
almost exclusively, while on the
cheaper cigars and cigarettes women
are more generally employed. The
former are, as rule, paid on the
piece system, while the latter are
often contracted for in gangs, and
answer to their employers only through
the sub-contractor. Wages vary, not
only as to the grade of the cigars made,
but as to the skill of the operatives,
and there is q wide range in pay.
Expert cigarmakers in the larger fac
tories can earn 81 Mexican, or As cents
on the gold basis, but the average is
nearer to 70 cents Mexican, and among
the children and less expert operatives
wages range down to 20 and 80 cents
Mexican per day.

The cigars and cigarettes of Manila
pertinent and interesting topics now,
in view of the imperialistic insistence
upon the annexation of the Philippines
are remarkably cheap, even in the
face Of the economic conditions that
exist in the East, according to the cor
respondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The cheapest cigars, he writes, are
sold for $40 per 1000, and the most ex-
pensive for slo0 per 1000. Reduce
that to q gold basis, and you find
yourself wondering how they can be
made for the money. The cigarettes
are even cheaper. The cheapest grades
retail for Ia and 211s cents Mexican
per package Of twenty -four and thirty
cigarettes, and the grades in most
common use sell at the factory for $40
Mexican, or $3.50 gold, per 1000
packages Of twenty-four and thirty
cigarettes each. The best cigars can
be bought at retail at the cigar stands
for s and 10 cents Mexican, and it is
recorded that in the days of the
monopoly very fair cigar, as Manila
cigars go, could be bought for and 2
cents Mexican. The genuine Manila
cigar Of today is not known in the
United States, and if ever it finds lite
way there it will at once spring into
immense popularity. The old Manila
cigar, short and stubby, or cone
shaped, is rapidly passing, and in its
place modern cigars are being made.
All of the modern shapes in vogue in
Europe and America have been intro.
duced since the monopoly ceased tc
exist, and anything that pleases the
fancy may be had at the kiosks Of
Manila. The modern cigar, made o.
the best Cagayan or Isabel tobacco, j.
not as good as the Cuban product, bur
it will bear fair comparison with it,
and is certainly tho superior Of scorel

Than In 1896.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 8. -Returns from
every county in the State indicate the
election of Whittemore, Republican,
for State treasurer by a plurality of
nearly 10000. Few Of the returns are
complete.t Tho majority for other Re-
publican candidates viii probably ex-
coed that for Whittemore, as he was
cut heavily in Cook county, including
Chicago. Enough Legislative returns
have been received to show that the
lower house will be Democratic by
about six votes, and the Senate Re-
publican by about III votes.
In Cook county, aside from Repre-
sentatiyes in Congress, the entire Re-
publican ticket, with possibly one or
two exceptions, was elected by plu-
ralities ranging from 5000 to 5000.
The county was carried for Mckinley
by nearly 10000.
In Winnebago county, Frank s.
Regan, Prohibition, was elected to the
Legislature, the first time in the his
tory of the State that Prohibitionist
Legislative candidate has won.

Then the small exclusive" stores
did the business--a business with

bought goods in years a-gone. We
had to prove ourselves and our po-

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 9.-Returns
from all over Missouri are coming in
very slowly today, but, though far
from complete, everything received
points TO the election of the entire
Democratic State ticket by at least
30, 600 majority, and the selection Of a
majority of members of the Legisla-
ture, insuring the reelection of United
States Senator Cockrell. Three Re-
publican Representatives in Congress
from st. Louis have been reelected,
and it is probable that all the II
Congressional districts outside the
city will be represented by Democrats,
though final returns may change this
somewhat. In st. Louis, the Repub-
licans elected their city ticket by ma
jorities ranging from 1900 to 1000.
