..The EnemNs Cnmntrxr

The Star the other day suggested that
sound money in this years elections might
fare better in the west than in the east
That is precisely what has happened. In
the west and northwest where two wears
ago Mr.. Bryan made q phenomenal cam
paign on the silver issue. sound money on
Tuesday recorded a most substantial vote
The republicans gained a number of con-
gressmen. and Mr.. Bryan's own state ex-
hibited the effect of the reaction. In the
east, on the other hand. sound money, then
SO strong, loses. Regularly pledged sound
money candidates have been turned down
for candidates either unpledged or else
openly committed to free silver In New
York state alone, which Mr.. Bryan in 1896
characterized as the enemy's country"
a change of twelve seats in Congress has
occurred in this way
II We look for the reason We find it in
part in the two different modes of cam
paigntng. In the west and northwest the
financial question was kept steadily to the
front. Each side had the courage of its
convictions Every man was assured that
the silver question was still unsettled and
that his vote this year would be a factor
III its settlement And silver lost because
the arguments upon which that side of
lHe question Two years ago was presented
had meanwhile been exploded. Good crops
and good times had convinced many of the
farmers that their fortunes were not
wrapped up in the opening of the mints
free 10 silver coinage.
But in the east, where times had never
been hard as in the west, the sound
money democrats shuftied and evaded and
in the nope of gaining some advantage in
local contests threw away an opportunity
10 c!inch what they had contributed so much
toward achieving in the contest of 1886.
But alHs well that ends well. Sound
money has Won, and the victory is no less
welcome because the west rose to the oc-
CasiOn. while the east, the enemys coun-
try squabbled over local offices and
played small politics. The new House, but
for this. would have shown a sound money
strength equal TO that of the new Se..ate.
1t Is sufficient however, for practical pur-
poses. and We may now hope for the long
delayed currency and other useful legis-
latiOn.

Republican Control of the House.

The later returns as to the next House,
which insure the republicans control of
that body. are most heartily to be wei
coined. and they will be welcomed in every
section of the country. They round on:
days work upon which a very great deal
depended. They clear to considerable ex-
tent the atmosphere as to the future They
fix a responsibility which the republicans
were anxious to assume and which in the
circumstances it was important to the
country should be fixed upon them. They
already held the presidency. They now
hold the new Congress in both branches,
and, being in complete control of both the
executive and legislative departments Of
the government, they will be expected and
will find il necessary to give to the coun-
try a coherent national policy
Moreover. the republicans offered the bet
ter assurances in the matter of a COM
petent House organization. The country
will now profit by the services of men who
are thoroughly established in the country 5
confidence Mr.. Reed. the first pariamen-
tartan of his day. will again be Speaker
Mr.. Dingley. one of the safest and most
sagacious of men. will again preside over
ways and means. Mr.. Cannon will again
look after the supply bills with a keen and
an honest eye, while Mr.. Hitt one of the
peSt-equlpped men in the land for the post
will, at 4 time when just such a man is
needed there. again be chairman of the
committee foreign affairs.
The old warning against swapping horses
while crossing stream is especially applic-
able to the situation. Had the republicans
been deprived of the control of the House
the Speakership. with all its incidental pow
er, the committees and the rules would
have passed into the hands of body of
men whose interests are in many cases
widely divergent. Gold democrats, silver
democrats. populists and Independents of
all shades of politics would have found
themselves charged with the task of main
tanning the lower house supplying the gov
eminent with funds and passing upon meas
ures vitality affecting the foreign relations
Apart from questions of personal capacity
such coalition. facing such d task, would
not have been able. in the nature of things
TO do justice to itself or to the admnistra-
tiOn or to the country. The interruption
to the course of the present national poll
cies would have brought to the opposition

its domestic and foreign relations
All things considered. republican control
of the next House will rebound to the bone

GeI.erai Garcia's Visit

General Garcia. accompanied by two col
leagues Will. it Is reported, shortly arrive
in the United States on d mission bearing
upon the future OF Cuba. He represents
those who wish for the establishment of
an independent government at as early a
day as possible. No distrust of the United
States prevails among these men. They
see very plainly the responsibility of this
government in the premises They realize
that American occupation of the island for
time is absolutely necessary. Still there
are some misgivings as To American infor-
nation and sentiment on the subject of tho
insurgents as distinguished from the STAY
at-hOmes and those who merely svun,-
sized with the revolution; and it is to clear
this matter up, and at the same time n
serve Cuba in any other particulars in
which It may appear proper and feasible
that these men are coming.
General Garcia is an admirable SELECTION
to head such a delegation. He is already
known and respected In this country from
former visits. He is a man of merit and a
soldier OF ability. His appearance before
Santiago may have disappointed the mex
perienced and the impatient. but he was
well rated by the ablest American COM
manders in commission there. His force
was small and wretchedly equipped. but nc
brave man derided him or it. He emerged

The Philippines in the Election,
From the Philadelphia Press.

So far as the Philippine question is con-
cerned, the administration has been well
sustained in the elections. Colonel Roose-
Welt was perhaps outspoken as any man
in the country on the question. He had the
democratic and mugwump newspapers bit
terly opposing that policy, and many other
adverse influences. But he carried New York.
Congressman Walker of Massachusetts rem
resenting the district in which Senator
Hoar lives, was opposed to expansion, but
he was defeated. although the district
usually gives over 5000 republican major
ity. In the west, whore the republicans
were outspoken in their advocacy of expan-
sion, great gains have been made. Several
democratic senators opposed to expansion
have been defeated for reelection. Not a
single republican has met with such a re-
verse. If the expansion question was in
volved in the result then the verdict is GER
tainly a favorable one

Chairman BabcOcE's Victory.

One of the locally gratifying results of
the elections is the return of Chairman
Babcock of the House District committee
to the Congress for another term, with the
prospect that he will be once more at the
head of the committee. The returns indi
cate that Mr.. Babcock ran ahead of the
state ticket by 300 votes in the district,
despite the particular efforts which were
put forth to defeat him. AS chairman of
the republican Congressional Campaign
Committee he was marked for attack and
the handsome majority rolled up for him
shows that the efforts against him were
ultimately favorable to him The charges
growing out of his work at the head of the
House District committee, which were re-
pudiated by this community, evidently did
him injury with the people of his dis
trict, and so far as they had influence at
all doubtless reacted in his behalf. Mr.
Babcock has now been chairman of the
republican congressional campaign work
for six years and through executive ability
and shrewd political generalship has
achieved success i'll each of the three cam
paignS which he has managed for his party
in 1891, 1856 and now in 1S9S. This year
he worked under heavy handicaps. The
natural apathy of the people in an off year,
the charges against the war administra-
ton and the inconsistency of the gold
democrats in the eastern states combined
TO make the task of carrying the cam
paign To a winning one of unusual difficult
ty. The victory is none the less commend
able because of the narrow margin between
it and defeat. The smallness of the ma
jority does not measure the extent of the
task or the skill with which the campaign
was managed, but rather adds to the credit
which is to be bestowed upon the chair

Tesia's Latest.

Nikola Tesla has come forward once
more, this time with marvel of electric
power, which, he oracularly declares will
abolish war by making it possible for the
weakest ana poorest of nations to destroy
the naval forces OF the richest and most
powerful. He accompanies his declaration
with references to waves and vibrations
and the Ike, and points 10 very small
model machine which seems to obey his
will and to carry out in miniature some Of
his assertions. Tesla is forever STARTLING
the world with his discoveries, and has as
yet done practically nothing TO revolution
lze the modern uses Of electricity. Per-
haps he will do so some day but it is note
worthy that, notwithstanding his freouen.
promises, people continue to use the elec
trio current by means of wires and to illu
inmate their houses and stores with arc
and incandesoent lamps and to generate
and utilize the force by means of dynsmos
ar d motors. There is no question that
there is rich field for some man who can
place on the market perfected system of
wireless transmission of electricity. or
some method whereby the current can he
generated without the consumption of coal
or water power. or some plan by which
Illumination can be carried on without Wis
ihle conductors. Tesla has said that he has
found the secrets which make these
achievements possible. He has claimed
that the day of the public's emancipation
from wires and the like is at hand Yet
for some reason he has failed to dcvelop
anything practical. 1t may be- of course,
that he has not quite finished his work
along these lines. and that the wonders
will be revealed in their entirety later In
that event Tesla is seriously at fault in dis
closing his purposes and whetting the ex-

pectation of the people in advance of his
readiness to put his works into actual,
practical operation. He is injuring his own
reputation for genuineness. If he is no
more than a mere laboratory juggier with
currents. able to produce weird e1eets
which suggest vast possibilities but cannot
be expanded into practical proportions, he
will not long retain the confidence of news
paper readers who are continually coming
upon his promises. One result of the sue
cessve forecasts which have not been fol-
lowed by achievements is that this latest an
nouncement of a deadly war agency is not
accepted with faith, and is not likely TO
spread CONSERVATION among the war pow
ers of the world. Another of Tesla s
Dreams folks are prone to say when this
startler is spread before them.

Has Given Security on Every Question

TIOIn Ile NtW
ON every question which might threaten
the prospects of business and industry for
some years to come the elections have
given complete security. There appears
nothing to hinder the continued improve
ment and increasing prosperity which the
state of business favors In foreign mat
ters, also, the President has been 50 fully
sustained that he will be able to act with
out hesitation, knowing that the patriotism
of the nation gives him full confidence and
approval. This fact alone should sweep
away much of the difficulty which has him
dered a settlement with Spain and encour-
aged foreign powers to consider the posi-
bility of gaining something by Offering her

yielded fruit which will probably affect
the future of the nation, not only during
some years of growing prosperity. but for
all time.

A Deliberate and Final Judgment.

From the Philadelphia Times
The verdict of the nation is unmistak-
able, and points very strongly to the cleo
tion of a republican President in 1900. 1t
means that the present sound financial
policy of this government must not only be
maintained, but that those who are dis
trusted on the issue cannot be given power.
1t means that our economic policy shall
not be changed; that liberalized protection
Tor our industries cannot be disturbed;
that enlarged commerce and trade with
other countries shall be inaugurated by
the expansion of our territory, and that
a republican Congress shall be charged
with the duty of aiding a republican Presi-
dent to gather the full fruits of our recent
war with Spain This verdict given with
emphasis under all the adverse crcum-
stances OF mid-administratfon campaign,
must be accepted as deliberate and final
Judgment on every issue involved

The republicans who may be secretly cha
grined at the material reduction of the ma
jority in the House of Represer tativeS will
doubtless find some satisfaction in the re-
Election that as much business can be done
with a margin of half a dozen votes as
half a hundred. This is in some respects
d substantial recompense for the disap-
pointments suffered by the party men who
have seen many of their Colleagu jOStled
from the congressional band wagon in its
course along the rough road of an OFF
year. AS a matter of fact, more business
ought to be accomplished within the same
limits of time with small majority than
with large one The narrower the gap
between the two parties, the more strict
attention to the work of legislation is usu-
ally paid by all concerned. The members
who are prone to stray to their homes dur
ing sessions while the majority is reas-
suringly large are kept more constantly at
the Capitol ii there is chance that the
opposition may at any time steal a march
and sneak in d rider or smother party
measure or push through an embarrass-
ing proposition. Caucus proceedings are
likely to be more conducive to definite
policies, committee work runs more smooth
ly, the burden of all the labor is more
equally distributed, the leaders are kept
within bounds of prudence more surely,
and their following is compact, harmonious
ana disciplined by the constant nearncss
of the enemy. Then, again, committee as
signments are more evenly distributed
when the majority Is small and the par
ties are well balanced. This is a consol-
atory feature of the new situation which
will doubtless appeal both to the Speaker
and to the members.
