The Election Yesterday.

5S Yesterday reminded us OF the Sunday
9f quietude. After the presence of such multi
tude on Sale Day, the public square seemed
almost deserted, but the voting went steadily
1 on. And 1t was all one way. But great
number Of our citizens felt SO little interest
in the election that they failed to appear
at the polls. There were no doubt
some earnest Bryan men present, but
we are inclined to believe that numbers OF
them voted against their wishes. while a
/, very large per cent. voted in halthearted
way, not caring whether Bryan or Mckinley
|. was elected.
The masters of the Democratic party have
ruled with an iron hand, while dlsregarding
fthe convictions of minority who submit,
so 10 speak. under protest.
The fact is, the people must take more &C.
tive interest in politics to avert impending
danger. We have great multitude of un.
1 registered people, and as long as the white
people stand as q unit there Is no danger.
But when the people divide these people who
have refused or neglected to register may
conclude to take hand in politics, and they
/ may to some extent bring decentralization to
4 the country.
II the men who are responsible for the
principles and platform OF the party would
avert danger, they should not ignore the pre-
Judices and convictions Of their fellows. For
instance. the insertion Of the free silver
.plahk waNs an error which even Mr.. Bryan
,afterward ackno Yledged by tearing up the
platform, substituting the paramount" Issue
OF imperialism. Mr.. SBryan REQUIRED the
national Democratic Cd( N ven,,on m mt Tho
free silver plank in the platform, and then.
without consulting anybd DIV he changed m
platform. Without the 4hange be stood no
chance of election country had repudi.
sisd that idea' aGSh the battle on that line was
hopeless.
II the democratic Convention had adopted
platform somewhat similar to the platform
which; Mr.. Bryan later announced, the vote
Z teryesday would have been more in accor.

{ South.
There can be no doubt that the action of the
Republicans towards the Porto Ricans would

Mr.. Bryan has made splendid fight, and

have done better, handicapped as he was,
with an unwise and fmpolitic platforms
platform which indeed run counter to | large

requirement is to be strong with ones own

There was some interest in hearing the

last night, and those who felt sufficient inter.

No disturbance OF any kind occurred dur.

The Cost of Liquor.

The New York "Tribunc' is au-

traffic costs more every year than our
whole civil service, our army, navy,
and Congress, including the river and
harbor and pension bills; all We pay
for local government; all national,
state, and county debts, and all the
schools in the country. "In fact,
says the Tribune" "this country
pays more for liquor than for every
function for every kind Of govern
mcnt' And the "Union Signal

the boys Of this nation, must be Sc

at certain notable political gathering
in Madison Square Garden, was called
upon for speech. And did he ac-
ccpt? Well. rather! Running his
fingers through his hair, adjusting his
vest and pushing up his coat sleeves,
he started into sprinkle eagle feathers
all over the stage. The colonel is q
stout man and has a thirst in propor-
tion. 1t the course of his passionate
harangue he became very warm and
asked that some water be provided.
In compliance with tae request dim
inutive pitcher and dainty little glass
es were brought and placed before
him.
Colonel Crisp looked at it intently
for few moments, and then, "What

lord Kitchener recent victory was
won for him by any army of teetotal-
ers, who made phenomenal forced
marches through the desert, under q
burning sun, and in climate famed
to Kill or prematurely age the unac-
climated. But it is said, There has
never been q British campaign occa-
sioning so little sickness and profiting
by so much endurance. In con-
nection with this, some one asks,
why cannot we treat our soldiers as
well as the British treat theirs, and
have an army Of teetotalers?" Be-
cause the liquor league rules the poll
ticians, from President Mckinley
down, and at its dictation the army
canteen continues to besot and ruin
