Election Notes.

The full returns for this county are
in and show that the entire county
ticket has been elected by the repub-
licans, with majorities ranging from
l56 for McCarty down to 8 for Manuel.
We have been unable to get the full
vote by precincts as cast for each
candidate, but will have it next week.
This campaign was emphatically one
of candid ates, and does not show any
thing as to the sentiment of the people
on national questions. The repub-
licans are especially pleased at the
vote for Bishep, as they fignre that
they will be able to convince the dem
o.rats that the populists did not tote
fair with the democrats. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that many populists
did not vote for Mr.. Bishop on ac-
count of a certain letter which he
caused to be published in the Mercury,
but it is equally true that the demo-
crals, for some reason best known to
themselves, did not support him. This
is particularly apparent when the vote
of the strong Democratic precincts is
cons sidered. We have no apologies
to make for our defeat. The repub-
lican candidates are elected and we
are willing to let it go at that, and
ouly refer to the other matter as the
republicans are already trying to TO-
ment trouble along that line.

The Republican majorities were:
AderhOld, 81: McCarty, 156: Kettle
son, 145; Avery, 60; Manuel. s: Burt,
SO: Bridges, 4S. The ropulists and
Belpre, Lincoln, Franklin, Trenton;
the republicans in Brown, Kinsley,
Logan and Jackson. In the last two
candidates nominated by the repub-
licans were satisfactory to all parties.
So the result shows that where there
was a contest we carried five precincts
and the republicans two.

The bicycle trust has begun to man
ifest prosperity by discharging 1000
employees. Now when a slight ad-

any of the 1000 see it that way. In
the meantime the farmer pays little
higher for everything he buys.

The gains by the opposition to the
republicans in many parts of the state
have been heavy, aud can hardly be
considered as being an endorsement
of Mckinley in his policy of increased
taxation for the support of large

The fact that MIR. Stanley, of Wichita,

sANTIAGANs CELEBRATE.
General Wood Receives Officials al
the Palace.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 1.-The
last day of the old year had scarcely
passed when the people of Santiago be-
gan to celebrate the birth of Cuban in
dependence. From that hour until
dawn crowds marched the Streets sing
ing and cheering for Cuba and the Unit
ed States, while bands played exhilarat-
ing music. 1t was the real voice of the
people, instead of the element that is
usually making itself heard through the
local press, and there could be no ques-
ton of the enthusiastic feeling toward
America
This morning General Wood, follow
ing an ancient Santiago custom, held a
reception at the palace, appearing for
the first time in the fun dress uniform
of Major General. He received the
members of the Supreme Court, City
Council, Chamber of Commerce and
other officials Of the city. Tomorrow,
with Mrs. Wood, he will hold a recep-
ton for all who may choose to come.

MANILA, Jan. 1.-THE following dis

just been received here by boat, tele-

MANY families have taken refuge
with the Americans. The foreign res
idents have petitioned Mr.. Miller to
grant the extension desired by the
rebels as a fight would cause inevita-
BILE loss.
"At the designated time a native
committee boarded the United States

The streets of Iloilo are full of armed

The Birth Of the Steel Shin.

When it could be demonstrated that,
although 1t might be more costly, the
steel vessel was a much safer and bet
ter vessel, and that it had a larger car
rying capacity on the same displace-
ment, and therefore a larger earning
power. then, slowly but surely convic-
ton entered the minds of the ship
owners, and the steelmakers' victory
was in sight. 1t was arduous work,
but it extended over only b few years.

MADRID, Jan. 1.-The New Year
editorials in the Madrid press are dig

the American flag in Cuba and the
Philippines means the closing of the

tory.
With suppressed emotion, rather than
bitterness, the papers exhort the peo-
pie to have confidence in their recup-
erative power, urging that there be the
smallest possible waste of time in re-
organizing the affairs of the country
and expressing special desire for a
speedy settlement of the Cabinet crisis.

SEES THE DANGER.
China's Dowager Empress Insists
on Administrative Reforms.

PEKIN, Jan Am imperial edict,
issued last Friday remarks that China
is passing through a severe crisis in
her history" 1t reminds Viceroys and
Governors of the numerous edicts that
have been issued lately, ordering adj
ministrative reforms; points out that
many of these have not been observed,
and commands the immediate institu
ton of reforms in the method of train
ing troops in agriculture, in manufac-
ture and everything likely to conduce
to the prosperity of the empire.
1t directs the Viceroys and Governors
to memorabilia the throne within
month that these reforms have been
inaugurated.
This edict is highly significant, as
showing that the Empress Dowager
realizes that the position is serious and
that all hope of the country's future
lies solely in reform.
A deadlock has resulted from a de-
mand by the Russian authorities for
the surrender of certain British prop
erty, which the Chinese Government
had awarded as part of the Russian
concession at Han Kau. The British
refuse to surrender the property.

yet Diocletian, who revived the Roman
Empire, was believed to have been
slave-born. Freedmen were constantly
rising to the control of the Roman En-

great series of statesmen of whom the
West knows so little, the Grand Viziers
of Turkey, had actually been slaves.
The truth is, the disabilities of women
in Asia are habitually overrated Their

bad, but as mothers they are greatly

who finds that his wife's or daughters
counsel gives him success consults his
wife or daughter; SO, under all manner

and the trusted counselor of the State
becomes, with good luck, its ruler. If
there are social ideas in the way, they
are held in suspense and if etiquettes,

fashion brushed away.
