 United States Senate.

Philadelphia, November 7.-Returns from the senatorial and legislative districts of Pennsylvania indicate that M. s.

UT the 204 members of the House, the Democraes have elected less than fifty as against seV- enty-one straight out Democrats two years ago.
 The anti-Quay Republicans will prooaoly not muster over fifty votes of the 25O on joint ballot.

When its limited express trains were
put on some years ago, the Lake Shore
Railway company decided to charge
extra for the privilege Of riding ON
them, and John Newell, who was pres
idcnt of the system at that time, gave
orders that passes. half rate tickets,
etc, should not be honored on the "fi-
ers." 1t was not intended, of course,
that the complimcntaries issued to high
officials Of other roads should be void
on the fast trains, but through an over
sight yearly pass was sent to ID. w.
Caldwell. president Of the Nickel Plate,
which bore on its face the words:
"Not good ON Lake Shore limited
trains"
A few days after Mr.. Caldwelrs pass
had been issued MIR. Newell received
an annual pass on the Nickel Plate
with the following Endorsement:
"Not good on passenger trains"
Messrs, Newell and Caldwell remain
ed consistent enemies until the former
died and was succeeded by the latter
rs president of the Lake Shore.-Chi-

ed States during the war with Spain.
There has not been map of the
scenes Of hostllities published in any
paper obtninable. People have to con-
tent themselves with certain anti
Quated maps that do not give half
the places nor any of the railways
that have been built during the last
five years. The advertising maps do
not contain places or mountains. but
the maps from Browns South Africa
give the mountains of size, but ON too
small n scale"
My correspondent goes on to say:
"We here. as rule, cannot get any
thing but one sided view Of the
skirmishes, engagements and battles.

one should look at 1t from an impartial
standpoint, reviewing the statements
of both sides. Rarely II ever do we
know what the English losses are, and
We only know so much of the Boer
loss as 1t Is thought 1T to let us know.
For instance, have not seen 1t pub
llshed what the Boer loss was on Oct.
10 at Mnfeking, which Natm paper
gives as 53 killed and 400 wounded.
This may not be correct. but when a
number like 90 is mentioned IL would
appear as II they knew something
about It. The Boer way of fighting Is
like that followed by the Sioux in the
Black Hills and must cost less of
Beers life than English. | presume

one side and half on the other Provi-

One thing which hns kept everybody
anxious Is the question as to whether
or not the native races would be In
duced TO participate In the war. This
would be an extremity more barbarous
than the worst kind OF projectiles pro-
hlbited by The Hague agreement. and
II Is not thought that either British or
Beers will incitc any African savage
race to depredatons which the sight
Of blood might put beyond check or
control. There is much talk, however,
about British importation Of semibar-
barous warriors from India. They nro
nominally British subjects, and to
bring them into service would not be
so severe shock to the civilized world
as would be felt should the South AZ
rcan savages take to the warpath.
Some of the East Indians are expert
cavalrymen and might do efficient
service as rough riders on the pralries
of the Transvaal

sicged towns may be judged from an

find out how the two brutes were
pummeling each other, and which was
getting the best of it. Disgusting
truly, but what are you going to do
about it?
We have heard of some criticism of
the newspapers for printing the story
next morning. Well, if they had not
printed it they would have ceased to
be newspapers. That's all about that,
A newspaper is a daily publication that
gives the news. It does not make the
news, but publishes it. We are no
more responsible for that prize fight
than for the Charleston earthquake Of
some years ago. We describe both as
well as we could. That's our business.
We are not defending the brutal and
brutalizing business Of prize fighting.
But, in detail, it has this advantage
over war: The innocent do not get kill
ed by it. 1t probably causes little
suffering, as the brutes engaged in the
sport have every appearance of being
practically incapable of the finer feel
ings, and evidently have very inferior
sensibility. 1t calls for no sympathy.
No harm would be done the world if
the two contestants should kill each
other. 1t is merely contest between
two human animals who test thereby
(unless the pool box interests PREVENT
their respective ability to give and
Withstand punches.
Such entertainments are crowded.
Not to publish the results of the af-
fair as that Of last week would have
taken paper out of the category of
newspapers. Even the very few who
objected to it's appearance would, in
all probability, have looked into some
other paper to see just how bad it was
if omitted from their own. The fact is
that the news is made by the world at
large, and the newspaper simply holds
up the picture of the passing process
