7,il3 votes. Judge Gunster's total vote
was 13,4S7. .Supposlng that Judge
GunSter's total vote was equally di.
vided between the two parties and
it IS not unreasonable t. presume
that this was possible, he would nave
IN each colum 6.7i4 votes. This would
give Mr.. Smith a plurality of 500.
Of course this is all mere specula-
tion and founded On the very remote
possibility of the supreme court read
ing the Baker ballot law as Cornelius
Smith reads it.
There was also an interruption to
the official count at the evening aes-
sion by Mr.. Smith. When the south
district of Lackawanna township was
reached Attorney Mahon stepped be-
fore the court and presented a petit
tiUr from John 6. Jennings setting
forth that he was the watcher of the
Independent citizens party in the
Minooka district: that when the
counting of the ballots was about to
begin he was forcibly elected from
the booth, that over fifty voters in
that district assured him that they
voted for Smith. while the returns
credit him with only 2S votes.
Hc asked that the ballot box he
taken into court and Il recount made.
Judge Edwards ruled that the alle-
cations Of the petition were not suflic-
lent to warrant him in ordering a re-
count. He suggested to Mr.. Mahon that
something more definite be presented if
II was desired that the court take ac-
tion in the matter. In order to give
ample opportunity for filing a new petit
ton and presenting proofs, Judge Ed
wards passed over the vote for judge in
the district in question.
LEHIGH TOWNSHIP REACHED.
At adjournment last night at 9.3O
O'Clock the count had proceeded as far
as Lehigh township. 1t is expected that
il will be completed tonight. Very few
variances between the official and open
returns were found. The only one o!
note was in the vote of the First dis
trict of the First ward of Carbondale
where Mr.. Timlin lost three votes. The
open returns credited him with 23,while
in the official tally list only 20 were
recorded for him.
Judge Edwards is assisted in the
count by John NJ. Harris, NJ. w. Thayel

THE SPRING ELECTION.
Outlook for 1t Is Decidedly Inter

Although the official count Of
the vote of Tuesdays election
has not yet been completed
those who make politics a di-

election which will be held in Feb g.
interest.
y mayor, city treasurer, city con-
troller and common councimcn in the
odd numbered wards are to be elect
ed. As the result will determine
whether the city government is to be
in the hands of the Republicans or
Democrats or some one else the fight
will be spirited
The board of school control will
not be disturbed by the coming cleo
ton as no members of that body are
to - elected this year. The terms
of two of the members Of the board OF
six who We're elected last spring will
expire in June. They are f. S. Bark
er and Elias r.. Evans. A decision of
the supreme court with reference to
the legality of that board is not cX-
pected until February at least
1t is not likely that candidates for
membership on the board of six will
be nominated this spring, but if the
decsion of the supreme court is in
favor Of that body Il special election
will probably be held 70 fill the two
vacancies that will exist after June !

The great danger in the Christian life
is the supposition that only great sins
affect the life. On the contrary, 1t IS
rare that the evil comes in like flood.

almost unobserved, and in such small
quantity that it is not regarded as
worthy Of effort to restrain it. But each

The Active Love.

Contemplate the love of Christ-that
which made his life so much to the
world, so much to you and me, was ac-
tive love, or love in action. Ii we
would study that perfect character more,
we would love it more, and our own
characters would become more like His.
The Christ life would bring us very
near to God. If piece Of iron is put
close to an electrified body, the iron be-
comes charged and both become mag
nets while together. If we will keep
close to the Father spirit, we shall feel
the magnetic touch of His love, and our
hearts will thrill with new life.
The great God and Father OF all, the
eternal spirit of love, can never fail. he
is the same yesterday, today and forev-
or, and that spark Of the Infinite in our
own breasts shall never cease to burn
until we are purged from all dross God
has loved us into being and will love us
until the great purpose of our creation
is accomplished, until everything shall!
be subdued unto Him, "and He shall
be all. and in all. ''-UniversaliSt.

After the Storm.

The ships passed over the water.
But the wings of the storm were there,
And they beat the light back into the night
Till the sen moaned In despair.
They beat the ragged pinions
Til black was the heavens frown,
And they cleft the waves into yawnms
graves
Till the ships in the sea went down.
They beat and beat the ribs OF the heet
Till the feet In the sea sank down.
Now peace broods over the water,
And those wings no more are GUS
THAT scourgod In their wrath the oceans
path
And tossed the ships about,
That smote the sea In their anger
TIL they made u shriek and roar
With their cruel whips that lashed the ships
Till the ships could hear no more.
And the airs are swest. but the ribs OF sns

Are whitening on the shore.

Nothing of the kind has happened IN
the case of the navy, and there has been
no complaint from the officers OF any
lack of bravery or cooperation among
the Cubans. 1t is ridiculous to say that
the Cubans want to loot the towns. Cen

of the kind. Besides, the towns nave

has been enough beef taken in to feed
the soldiers. If General Gomez were
supplied with ammunition and provi-
sions by our government, he would be
able to make the blockade absolute. He
would do it in the best possible way
by seizing the railroad system and pre-
venting all communication with Las
Tunas, Cienfuegos and other towns.
"We found the Cuban officers with
General Gomez to be cultivated gentle
men. Many of them were in a wretched
condition. The insurgent army which
ne has is composed of excellent fighters
VINO are willing to meet the Spaniards
man to man and could defeat them
Ythen. There has been little fighting OF
late, largely because the Spaniards are
lntrenched in the towns and never come
out The Cubans are not able to take O
town, as they are poorly equipped. The
blockade has had nearly as bad an effect
on them as ON the Spaniards. Formerly
they were able to obtain anything they
tneeded from the Spaniards if they had
the money to pay for it. They bought
their clothes and provisions until the
olockades at Havana and Cienfuegos
made that impossible. There has been
no meeting between Gomez's forces and
the Spanish army partly because the
spanish generals are perfectly willing
w remain in the towns, sending out an
occasional detachment for q skirmish
with the Cubans in order that their men
might DO killed and they be enabled to
uraw the pay Of the soldiers.
For the last three months General
uomez did no fighting because his men
mad neither ammunition nor provisions.
since we landed supplies for them Gen.
erai Gomez has attacked several towns
when l met General Gomez, he had
oniy hve pistol cartridges left, and the
rest OF his men were equipped in about
the same fashion. Now they have two
dynamite guns, with $50 30 pound pro-
!ectiles to fit them, and two full bat
'eries OF light fieldpieces, ten inch
aines OF regular ordnance patterns and
o,ooo cartridges. In addition to this the
