DEFEATED ALREADY.

The popularity OF the present situa-
ton in the democratic party is that,
while there is a general agreement
that the presidential canvass of next
year should be fought on new issues. it
is contended that they shall nCt be
fought with candidate adapted to
represent them. Here is an obvious
anomaly. 1t is made the more signal
by the fact that this candidate is not
only primarily and prominently iden-
tiffed with the old issues, but that he
has been defeated on them. There is
a strong desire in one section of the
party altogether to abandon the old
Issues, and an agreement on the part
of the other to a great extent to subor
dinate them; only the more extreme
men want them to have their old
prominence, and yet it is proposed to
compel them to be kept at the front by
the candidate selected. The logic of
the case, sensibly considered, is as
plain as it we'll could b.. New occa-
sions teach new duties is an acknowl-
edged apothegm; there is scripture
warning against putting new wine into
old bottles; yet men persist in binding
down a party with new aims and new
to the support of candidate
for the presidency who must, in the
nature of things, be first of all repre-
sentative of defeated ones, which, it is
confessed, should be aban-
doned. No wonder the republicans re-
gard with complacency the coming of
a contest in which such are the cOndI-
tons being prepared by the enemy
they are to encounter, and the demo- |
Gratis are looking forward to sure de- |
feat before the parties are fairly set
against each other in battle.

"AMIABLE LAND OF HYPOCRISY. ,

There is no country in the world
where charity is more talked about
than in that of our good friends the
English.
They have societies for the protec-
ton of yellow children dogs. aged
drunkards. former convicts, retired
thieves. etc.
Their kindness. like their coveious-
ness. extends over the entire universe,
and their missionaries go all over the
world in order to save souls and to
seize their neighibors' goods.
They are pure souls. with hearts of
gold, and if they did not possess teeth
as long as those of the famous wolf
encountered by Little Riding Hood,
they would be the best people IN the
world
1t is rather unfortunate, however.
that their humanitarianism is not ex-
ercised a little more at home.
The good English know all this, but
they do not give themselves the trou-
Bile to find any remedy for everyday
conditions OF suffering at home, while
their humanLtarianism shines with
great brilliancy in favor of negroes and
drunkards. Amiable land of hypoc-
risy, where nearly every possessor of

is not a new condition; it has always
existed, and it has been considered es-
sential to the assurance that the cup
shall be won only by seaworthy boats

SOME GREAT RAILROAD ROUTES.
And Something of Their Effect Upon
The Commerce of the World

The entire face of the world, in re-
1atfon to its centers of production and
routes of trade. is likely to be trans
formed within the next two genera
tions. As the Mediterranean lost its
Importance when ocean-going vessels
passed outside the pillars of Hercules,
and America and India became the
objective points of European COM
merce, 50 the developme nts of the
next half century are likely to develop
new trade centers n Asia and Africa
This shifting of the axis of commerce
will be strongly affected by the great
railway routes which are in process of
completion or in contemplation With
in few years Russia will complete
the Trans-Siberan railway, which will
shorten the journey from Paris to the
Pacific by many days and will make
Russia much closer to Japan and
China, by way OF Siberia. than Eng
land and France can ever be by the
ocean. A recent consular report an
nounces that a branch of the South
Siberian railroad, leading to the Dor

IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Republicans Well Pleased with the
$4,000 Majority.

Boston, Nov. S.-The Republicans car
rieu Massachusetts by $1,000 votes, and
w. Murray Crane of Dalton will be the
next governor The entire Republican
state ticket was elected by practically
the same plurality as the head of the
ticket, and the legislature of 1900 will
also be Republican by the usual large
majority, there being few changes in
either branch. The total vote for govern
or, with one town missing, is as follows:
w. Murray Crane CRep.) 16S,S46; Rob
ert Treat Paine, Jr. tDem), 103, ,S12
The following signed statement was
given out by Chairman A. II. Goetting
of the Republican state committee:
The Republican state committee is
very much pleased and well satisfied with
the result. To poll about 10000 votes
in an off year shows with what favor our
state ticket, headed by Mr.. Crane, was
regarded by the voters. Our canvass of
the state led us to estimate II Republican
vote of 10000 If election day was pleas
ant and 1872 900 if election day was bad,
and the vote bears out this canvass.
Mr.. Cranes plurality of some $1,000
is very handsome one and shows his
strength and popularity in the state"
The Democrats had no difficulty in car
rying the city of Boston. For the past
three years the city has indorsed the Re
publican candidate for governor, but this
year Robert Treat Paine, Jr., the Demo
cratic nominee, received plurality of
6,196 over w. Murray Crane (RepD.
Paine's total vote was 80 ,592, and Crane
received 26,396. Last year Wocott
(Rep.) carried the city by a plurality OF
1897 over Alexander B. Bruce (Dem.)
These figures show a loss for Crane from
Wolcott's vote of 71T9 and gain for
Paine over Bruce's total of 914. The de-
crease in the Crane vote is partly due to
the fact that he comes from the western
part of the state and did not have the To-
cal popularity that Wolcott had. The
election passed off quietly.

four counties that make up the city of
New York resulted in the election of ev-
cry Democratic candidate on every coun-
~ ticket except John Morissey Gray,
Democratic candidate for register in
Kings. Democratic majorities were
about normal, being in New York county
over 10000. In Kings county the Dem
ocratic vote fell off from last year, when
Van Wyck ran exceedingly strong in
Brooklyn. The Tammany exultation was
not over the county tickets victory,
which had been expected, but over the
defeat of Assemblyman Mazet (Rep.),
which they had hoped, prayed and work
ed for. From Mr.. Croker down. the
Tammany men shouted over Mazet's
downfall. Senator Platt intimated late
last night that Mazet might be seated in
the next assembly, in which the Repub
licans have 81 majority. The Tammany
Democrats openly denounced ex-senator
Hill, whom they blame for the reverses
up the state. The Republicans in New
York county elected only four assembly
men, one of them a member of the Citi
Zens' Union.

short of the vote polled in the last presi

Chairman Long of the Republican cam

Taylor's plurality would not be less than
$4,000. This estimate, he said, was
based upon estimates received from the
majority of the counties in the state.
Governor Bradley estimates Taylor's
plurality at from $1,000 to $4,000.

NEW YORK ASSEMBLY,
Republican Gain of Seven or Eight
Members.

New York, Nov. S.-The chief interest
in the election in this state centered in
the lower house of the Legislature, the
assembly. The Republicans have made II
net gain there of seven or eight members.
The losses in New York county are prob
ably offset in Kings. The assembly is
likely to stand 95 Republicans and 50
Democrats. The present year it had Il
membership of 81 Republicans and 63
Democrats.
Exciting municipal elections were held
in several cities. The Republicans carry
Buffalo, Rochester. Albany, Cohoes and
Troy. The Democrats were successful in
Syracuse and Utica. The most signiti-
cant of these local contests was that in
Troy, where ex-senator Murphy's candi-
date was turned down.
Erie county, which went Democratic
last year, returns to the Republican col
umn. Chemung, Ex-Governor Hills old
home, gives a large Republican majority.
Schoharie, the only county that gave
Bryan plurality, nearly slipped from
the control of the Democrats yesterday.
The state as a whole shows Repub-
lican plurality of about $4,000.
The fate of the constitutional amend
ments is not as clear as it might be, but
it is probable that they were all carried
The heavy vote of New York and Kings
counties in their favor doubtless deter
mined the matter.
