rhe ApriI EIections.

While there have been some surpris-
Ing results In the elections In Western
States there Is nothing to indicate any
great change In public sentiment since
last November. Chicago has reelected
Democratic Mayor In the person Of
Carter III. Harrison, but he won be-
cause of a very prevalent belief that he
would administer municipal affairs on
non-partisan lines. Many Republicans
voted for him, 1t is stated, because they
had full faith In his ability to carry out
reform theories more successfully than
his Republican opponent.
Michigan has given Republican ma
jority of $4,000 on light vote, which
Is equivalent to two or three times that
figure when there is general turnout
at the polls. ~
Several Republican cities In Ohio
have elected Democratic Mayors, nOta-
bly, Cleveland. but this result, In nearly
every case, was due to fractional divis-
ions i'm the stronger political organiza-
ton. In local elections there Is a ten
dency on the part Of voters to disre-
gard party principles and cast their
ballots on personal grounds which often
interferes with party success, but fire.
quently gives to communities better
administration of municipal affairs
than they would otherwise enjoy.
While Cleveland, a Republican city,
went Democratic, Columbus, Demo
cratic city. elected Republican
Mayor.
Taken as whole, the results Of the
April elections are all that could be de-
sired. They show the administration
of President Mckinley is as strong as
ever with the people of the West.-Nor-

PardOned.

In the life OF Henry Bradley Plant Is
n story which shows that mercy may
sometimes temper justice to good eff
feet, by awakening in an offender a
loyalty which he has never before
shown.
Mr.. Plant was one day travelling In a
baggage-car, when he saw an express
man, In handling a box marked
"Glass," turn II wrong side up.
"Herer' he called to the man. THAT
box is marked 'Gluss,' and should be
kept glass-side up. as Indicated"
"Oh, l know It's marked Glass /"
said the expressman, "but never pay
any attention to that"
Mr.. Plant said no more, but later,
when the superintendent of the Office
was alone with the man, he asked him:
"Do you know who that gentleman
was who spoke to you about the box
marked 'Glassr"
mo, sir"
"Well, that was Mr.. Plant"
"Then that means my dismissal
81 think 1t does. shall have to dis
miss YOU"
Later, the superintendent said to Mr..
Plant. II shall dismiss that man. of
course"
NO." said the president, don't dis
charge him. Call him into your office,
and impress It upon him that that Is
not the way the company does its bust
ness. He won't forget It," Il
He did not forget II. No more loydl

The Shoe on the Other Foot.


1t seems impossible for anti-Ameri-
can agrarians Of Germany to under
stand that every time they hold forth
on the subject of ''the unjust dscrim-
nations of the American tariff they
are shying rocks and brickbats at their
own glazed domiciles. When 1t comes
to discriminating tariffs the Germans
can give us points. AS an instance it
Is only necessary to cite the case Of
United States Consul Brundage, at
Aix-la- Chapelle, who recently imported
some American canned goods for his
own use, and was forced to pay duty
of SASS on goods worth $12.1O. If
German sausages and cheese had to
pay such duties as this there might be
some cause for complaint.-Troy On.

weak condition of the boiler, having been
in use for a number of years. The three

ditiOns West.
In the Chicago Daily Trade Bulletin
estimates were given of the area seeded
to winter wheat and of the damage done
by the unreasonable weather during the
last two months. In Indiana considerable
damage is reported, while in southern Hi
nois the outlook is very unfavorable. In
Iowa the.loss is fairly large, and in Ne
braska the outlook is decidedly discourag-
ing. In Wisconsin the damage was rather
serious. A summary of reports, in con-
junction with the late State reports, indi-
Gates that the condition of the winter
wheat crop of the United States is not to
exceed 70, which, even on the increased
acreage, would not produce over 5000
600 to 360,0O0,000 bushels, or 10000, 900
less than last year.
