themselves. During the campaign there
had been much of apparent apathy on the
part Of the Republicans, and for many
weeks there seemed to be good cause for
apprehension as to the outcome of the
election. Up to the very last, there was
great "silent vote" whose action could not
be forecast. The surface indications were
all in favor of Republican success; the
only contingency was this unknown guam
tity of the "sllent vote" The result
shows that in their own quiet way the
mass Of the people had thought the ques-
tions at issue out by themselves and had
arrived at an independent, clear isioned
conclusion which could not be shaken.
Hereafter we shall believe more than ever
before in the good sense, the calm judg-
ment, and the underlying capacity for gov
eminent Of the great mass of the Amer
lean people.
Before us now lie assured business con-
ditlons and q secure foundation on which
we may go forward with the work of every
day life, n6dent in the belief that, what
ever comes in the future, this foundation
cannot be shaken by anything which Bryan
or Organism represents. There is, as we
have said, no ground to claim a victory for
the idea of so-called ''imperialism." The
American people have no wish to see the
present conditions in the Philippines, in
China, or in Cuba continued day longer
than the emergency requires. So far as
the verdict means anything in this respect,
1t means that the people recognize that the
problems in our foreign and so-called eco
loniar' policy are such as have arisen with
ont any mans provision, and that the stu
alton must work itself out. The problems
must be met and solved as they are pre-
scented day by day, and month by month.
What has been endorsed Is the present ad-
ministration's policy of sound business and
financial management Of the nations af.
fairs, and what the country expects of the
Republican party is a wise, conservative,
and self contained use OF the responsible
ties placed in its hands.

The pr, election excitement in New
York city came through the order Of Chief
OF Police Devery, calling on the police to
resist any attempts that might be made
by the deputies of John McCullagh, state
Inspector of elections, in "interferingr
with voters. Gov. Roosevelt at once came
out In characteristic letter to Mayor Van
Wyck, stating that he would hold the
mayor responsible II Devery's order was
not recalled and trouble resulted from it.
Devery rescinded the order at once ON the
recommendation of the mayor. Devery

The result Of Tuesdays trial vote in
BrAttleboro and other towns on the ques-
ton of high license VS.. prohibition was
surprise and a disappointment to those
who wish to see our present law maintain
ed. We have no idea that all, or n major
ity, Of those who voted on the high license
side are opponents OF the cause of temper
ance, but we believe that very many votes
were cast tboughtlessly, without giving due
heed to the real issue involved. We believe
that II the question here in Brattleboro had
been final one, whether or not we are to
have In this village open and legAlized
saloons for the sale of liquor, the result
would have been different. We think the
cold fact and all that goes into it would
upset the theory, and we believe that the
legislators at Montpelier must recognize
this underlying sentiment In the state when
they vote finally on the enactment of the
pending high license bill.

A Rssr End Collision az Nor,ha.ld
Farms,

South.bound local freight No. 90 was
divided into two sections Wednesday after
noon, the first section leaving here a short
time ahead Of the other. When NorthAeld
Farms was reached the first section slowed
down, and the second section running at
high rate of speed, crashed into the rear
end OF the first section, which was hidden
by sharp curve. No one was injured, but
four cars including the caboose Of the first
section were wrecked. These were burn
ed. One Of the cars was loaded with or
gans, which were damaged. A local wreck
ing crew were sent down and succeeded in
making the main line passable during the
evening.

PIesed LeGisIaGIon---A Freak Bill nv
Ihe Member From RIpGon.
MONTPELIER, Nov. 7.
The Vermont legislature returned to the
capitol today bent on making amends for
its weakness in adjourning last Friday.
Judging from the number of explanations
offered by the various members, of their vote
for adjournment, the legislature as a whole.
feel more or less ashamed of itself and
will try to be very good and faithful from
now on.
1t has come to be proverb In Mont
pelier that one member of the house should
die during session at each biennial term.
This year 1t was G. W. CuItlss, the men,
Der from Ira, and, in accordance with their
usual custom, both houses today adopted
resolutions of respect to the memory of
their late associate, and empowered Speaker
Proctor to appoint committee to attend
the funeral, which will be held at Ira to-
morrow. The members of the committee
are: Mr.. Mann of Waterville, Mr.. Whit
temore of Eden, Mr.. Thomas of Orwell
and Mr.. Brown of Whiting.
The question as TO whether the intro
duction of bills should be curtailed, was
brought up in the house this afternoon
and was decided in favor of letting any
member introduce as many bills as he
chooses. A rising vote showed that four
hfths of the members were opposed to cut
ting off anybody's privileges, as official
tinkerer of the Vermont statutes. Judg-
ing from the results little later, the rea-
son for the overwhelming vote was that
every member of the majority had from
one to four bills which he wished TO pre-
sent.
The senate lsbored the bulk of the after
noon over the state laboratory bill. After
being In session and devoting an hour to
general business, the senate resolved itself
into committee of the whole and heard
testimony from DIR. Linsley and others
relative to the merits of the state labora-
tory and the needs of the institution for
the coming two years. DR.. Holton of
Brattleboro was one of those thus interro-
gated.
The battle of petitions over the prohibit
tory law is on in earnest and the execu-
tion would, doubtless, be something fear
full were 1t not that the committee on
temperance stands between the petitioners

Nebraska For Mckinley.
The FusiOniSts Get the Governor. How

The FusiOnists Get the Governor, How
ever---Hentucky Is For Bryan.
The belated election returns make little
change in the situation. Mckinley has
won the electoral vote and most of the
state officers in Nebraska, the Fusionists
the governor and possibly the legislature,
while the congressional delegation is I'M
certain in its composition, probably evenly
divided, a Republican gain of one Ken
lucky has gone for Bryan with the COVER
nOrship unsettled.
Chairman Babcock of the Republican
congressional committee claims 203 mem
bers in the next House, while the new
Senate will have at least 81 Republicans.
Mr.. Lentz of Ohio and Mr.. Lorimer of
Illinois are among the prominent Demo
Gratis who are defeated The electoral
table stands 292 Mckinley, 1856 Bryan.
Not only is the Mckinley electoral major
ity greater than in 1896, but it appears
that the President exceeds his rival on the
popular vote by larger margin than pre-
Viously-an event which few anticipated.
In 1896 the President led his opponent
by 6OS,514, while this year his net plural
ity amounts to about 10000. This is with
one exception the largest plurality in the
history of the country since the present po-
litical system was inaugurated at the presi-
dental election OF 1924. The one excep-
ton was that of Grant over Greeley in
1672-702, 991. The President returned to
Washington yesterday morning and was
warmly greeted on his arrival. Tuesday
afternoon he was compelled to make few
speeches to the crowds at stations on his
way from Canton to the capital. Among
his kilograms of congratulation was one
from Mr.. Bryan.

Kinley by $4,000, an increase of at least

South Dakota, which was carried for
Bryan by the narrow margin OF 1888 in
1896, gives Mckinley 1000 plurality this
year and elects two Congressman and full
state ticket. The legislature will choose
Republican successor to Senator Petit

900 to $4,000, and the state officers and
congressman at large are Republicans.
The states of the Pacific slope come out
unusually strong for Mckinley, California

ever recorded for any candidate; and
Washington probably about 5000, al.

Ii Hung ChAng's shrewd scheme for
doubling the income of the Chinese govern
ment from customs without increasing the
rate should have some significance for
Bryan voters in this country. He merely
proposes TO collect the customs duties OF
gold instead of silver. II free coinage in
silver were established In the United
States, all that the merchants would have
to do would be to bring their silver here
exchange 1t for gold and take the gold back
TO China. In short time, we should have
Chlna's silver and China would have our
gold.- Philadelphia Ledger.
