that plain case of "let we'll enough alone"
presented itself to them and that they voted
in accordance with that view of the case
II is probable that considerable vote was
influenced by the foreign policy of the pres
ent admin nistration and it is equally probable
that as many democrats were led to support
the administration rs there were republicans
who voted against Pres. Mckinley on that
issue. 1t had always been an open question
with US as to which party would get the
advantage of change Of votes on that issue
and the result proves that rs an issue 1t was
worthless to the democratic party.
About the only thing that came democra-
cys way on Tuesday was the legislature in
Delaware: it has the choice of two United
States Senators and is democratic that is
probably the outcome of Addicksism.
ELECTION NOTES.
New York sent commission to the Phil.
ppincs to receive the vote Of the soldiers;
when these votes have been cast they will be
sealed and sent to Albany where they will
be counted it is estimated that several thous-
and soldiers from that state are IN the
Philippines.
The majority in the sixth congressional
district is about 5000.
The republicans will have a majority in
the House of so to GO; IN the Senate there
will probably be "a republicans, 81 democrats
3 silver republicans and populist, In the
tifty.slxth congress the republicans have a
majority over all of l3.
Ex President Cleveland voted on Tuesday:
when asked for statement he declined to
say anything about the election or as to how
he voted.
The latest Information is 10 the effect that
the republican victory has been much more
sweeping one, Kentucky aud Nebraska hav
ing been won, the vote in the electoral col.
lege being 308 to 139.

A Siberian CIOp Report.

|
do not know how can give you in fewer
words an idea of the crops raised in Siberia
and the time OF their maturing, than to give
a sort of crop report from the Mnusinsk
region which have just visited (September
1st) This section lies in the valley of the
Genisei River about latitude $50 north, and
is one of the richest In all Siberia.
Hay and wheat are nearly all cut and we
are beginning on the oats. Fall pastures
are good. Watermelons six inches in diam
e,er are ripe. Cucumbers are still plentiful.
The sugar beet crep promises well, Cabbage
potatoes and onions are dong finely.
Here where the season il so short every.
thing ripens at the same time and punches
the hard work in an inconvenient way, es-
pccially as practically everything is done by
hand the moving, crading and binding of
the grain being done by the men and women

Although the greater part Of Siberia is
worthless, agriculturally speaking. yet there
| is vast amount of cultivatablc soil along
the 1000 miles of its southern boundary. A
narrow strip on both sides ofthe Great Slber-
ian Post Route from the Mails to Lake Balka!

vation. Also the upper valleys of the great
rivers, the Obi Yenisei and Lena. are more
or less cultivated. But by no means all of
this good land is taken, while farther east
the broad prairie region of the Amoor and
Sungaree rivers is hardly touched, in spite of
the fact that thousands of peasants are crowd
ing in every year.
The winter is very long, the rivers freezing
over during the first Of November and con-
tinung so until May, but the short hot sum-
mer produces good wheat, oats, rye and
hemp, while table vegetables grow well. In
some places even tobacco is raised.
Their great lack is in fruit. The winter is
too severe for even the hardest apples.
| There are but few berries; however no at
tempt has been made to cultivate them
One OF the principal products is the edible
mushroom which the woods produce in large
numbers. TO take the place Of fruit, apples
for instance, the people eat green cucumbers.

channels to market. | have seen RATS loaded
with hay, others with melons, or wheat, or
oats or live stock, being floated down stream
to the larger cities or to mining centres.
The best time for the farmers to get around,
is in winter when the rivers are frozen over,
1t is then that the great fairs, lasting two or
more weeks are held
On the whole the Siberian farmer does not
have as hard a time as most people suppose.

house for cold weather and eats for cold

The W. N. Earnings.

Gen. John NJ. Hood was Wednesday ie-
elected president and general manager Of the
Western Maryland Railroad Company by
the board of directors, who also reelected
Mai j. T. VI. Barnes as secretary and treas.
urer
After the meeting of the board the follow.
ing official statement concerning the fnan.
cial condition of the company was given out:
"While the annual report of the Company
for the fiscal year ended September 80 1900
will not be submitted before the December
meeting of the directors, it will substantially
be as follows
Gross earnings for 1900 81 S1767012
Operating expenses Joe, O4.90
Net earnings from operation : 7l1S65 90
"As compared with 1899, this shows an
increase of 5000 1922 81 in gross earnings,
$64 1897 12 in expenses. and $l44,995s5 in
net earnings.
This increase in net earnings for the year
capitalized at 4 per cent, shows that the
value of the property has increased during
the year $3624,S96, while capitalizing the
net earnings of $7l1 ,SC523, at per cent.
gives 81 1866 as the presen, value of the
W. NJ. property.
The company now sees its way clear to
entirely relieve the city from any further
payments on its account; that is, it will pay
all of its interest due on January 1st.
The net income will be about 1000 III
excess ofthe net earnings from operation,
but this amount will be offset by taxes which
are not included in the operating expenses.
When asked whether the increased pros.
perity Of the w. NJ. was due TO the growth
of any particular branch of its business.
President Hood answered in the negative
but added that the growth Of business was
general all over the system, and he trusted
that it would continue.
The FIVE mile extension OF the Altenwald
cutoff which parallels the old line between
Quinsonia and New Franklin, so as to give
easy grades over the Grlndstone Ridge, will
soon be completed and will be in operation
in about two months The present line
makes the hauling very difficult over the
noun ntains. but when the new track is used
hcayier trains can be taken through to 4nG
from Shippensburg.
The newly appointed city directors of the
W. NJ. Railroad Company are Messrs T. r
Clendinen, Mendes Cohen Robert G. David
son, William r. Nixon, Frank A. Furst
George r. Gather, Jr., II. Irvine Keyser ant
John A. Tompkins, who were all members
OF tne old board, and the newly elected di
rectors upon the part of the stockholders are

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.
One of the incidents of the election that is
worthy OF note is the precision attainable
when great newspaper utilizes its best re-
sources to secure accurate and reliable infor
nation. We refer to the forecast made by
the n. Y. Herald two weeks prior to the
election. While there may be some vara-
tion when the result in every State has been
finally determined, yet 1t is almost marvellous,
that state by state, exactly as reported in the
Baltimore Sun Of Wednesday morning, we
! find the HerdIs forecast made two weeks
ago, to agree. This is newspaper enterprise
pure and simple, and not politics; it is attain
cd by employing, without regard to expense
men whose judgment is not warped by pre-
judce; men of intelligence whose only care
is to get at tho facts that the newspaper they
represent may profit by their work. Should
the Herald's forecast prove to be actually
correct 1t will be a marvel and the result can
not differ from it enough to rob 1t its worth
as an estimate and to prove that it was nei
ther guess work nor bluff.
MAY BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
In the first place the democracy had to
meet the silver plank Issue that defeated
them in 1896; they hoped to he able to side.
track 1t, but the vote in the Eastern States
conclusivcly proves that they failed to do so.
Again, under the last democratic aGmins.
tration the country saw the hardest of hard
times and during the past four years an era
of the most unexamped prosperity. We
need not discuss the merits of the claim that
administrations had much or little to do with
these widely differing conditions; it is suff1-
cient to say that the people saw these things
and came to the not unreasonable conclusion
