FISHERMEN ARRESTED.

The successful termination of the
arrests made made by the Pohoqua.
line Fish Association tor trespassiDg
on their grounds, as noted in the
Press of last week, bids fair to cause
considerable business in the Courts
of our sister county Monroe. Last
week two members of the associa-
tion, one the President, were ar
rested for fishing on their own
grounds, it is alleged, with scooi
nets. Probably there is some spite
connected with this action, but the
outcome will likely cause all trout
seekers in that section to look a lit
tie out when they go a fishing for
the beauties. Such things are some
time contagious, and it might be a
wise precution for some of cur sports
men to make casual enquiry as to
ownership of lands. and the legality
of certain devices for fishing when
they go out for a days sport, with
hooks and lines and other things.

EDITORIAL
LONG HORSE HAIR.

Linus II, son of Linus in his day
famous horse, has a most remark
able growth of name and tail. Tie
name is double, sweeps the ground
on both sides, is very thick and
measures II feet in length. The
tail is long measuring l6 feet from
tip to tip and trails far in the rear.
This abnormal growth is a freak OF
nature for which it is, Of course,
impossible TO account.

THE ELECTIONS.

Inspection of the returns from the
different states that held elections on
Tuest az shows NO violent changes Of
waves or signs Of them. There Is no
rebuke to the administrations Philippine
policy, nor Is there anything that indi-
Gates an enthusiastic endorsement of 1t.
In Ohio. where perhaps the battle was
more vigorously waged than anywhere
else except Nebraska, the Republicans
get from $500 to o0.oo0 plurality, but
lack 80, 200 or &c. 900 votes of majority;
that is If the votes Of Mclean and Jones
could have leon united Nash would have
been defeated by that number. AS Nc
Lean and Jones both opposed the ann ex-
alton of the Philippines and both ortiz
cissd the war vigorously. It can be argued
that the fact that together they received
more than majority Of the votes cast,
shows that Ohio js opposed to the war
and to the annexation or permanent
retsntion of the Philippines. But such
o conclusion would be misleading, be-
cause, we believe. 10 would be based on
wrong premises. There Is no doubt that
O great many Democrats voted for Nc
Lean without much reference to the Phil
ippine question because he was the head
Of the Democratic ticket, and probably
the secret of Jones's strength was his SO.
ciaIistio doctrines rather than his attitude
on the Philippine question. There Ia
equally as little doubt that many Re-
publicans who do not quite like the Phil
ippine programme, adhered TO their party
and voted for Nash In order not to give
any aid or comfort to Organism. 1t
looks to us as If the voters OF Ohio had
for the most part voted rs thsy have been
In the habit of voting for several years
past, the exceptions being those who fol-
lowed the Jones fad, and that new ques-
tiops had had but little infiuenoe. II the
new questions had figured much there.
inasmuoh as they are national questions,
they would have figured elsewhere, and
the effect Of them would have been about
the same In states adjacent to one anoth-
or and whose population Is similar. It is
hardly likely that II Imperialism or the
trusts had been determining factors there
would have been Democratic lossss in
Iowa and Democratic gains In Nebraska.
The Indications are, to our mind, that
the comparative strength Of the two lead
ing parties has been very little affected
By the Developments of the past year.
and what slight gains or losses have come
TO either side have been due to local
causes and conditions. State pride and
an immense amount Of work enabled
Bryan to make better showing In Me-
braska than was expected, while hopeless
ness Of victory caused the Democratic
vote to fall on In Iowa mors than the
Republican.
In the East the Indications are much
tbs same as In the Wssk The Massachu-

The success of Mr.. Bryan in Nebraska
removes whatever doubt thers might have
been of his nomination for the Presidency
By the next Democratic convention. Had
he lost his state his prestige would have
been sufficiently impaired to have made
1t possible or likely to organize q move
ment against him. Had he failed to carry
his state and Mclean had succeeded In
CARRYING his the latter might have proved
a formidable obstacle In Mr.. Bryan's
pathway. As 1t is Mr.. Bryan will lind
no one to dispute his claim to head the
Democratic ticket. He will be nominated
by reclamation. No Republican will lind
any fault with this. On the contrary
any Republican In the land will now
welcome another contest with the Ne
braskan and the theories which he stands
for and must stand for. Looking at the
elections of Tuesday as the opening Of the
general battle of next year the Rspubli-
cans have nothing to be more thankful
for than the result in Nebraska.
