Secretary Gage, the only mem
Der of the cabinet that failed to
vote, excepting Secretary Hay,
who being a resident of the Dis
trict of Columbia could not vote,
gave out a statement after the
overwhelming nature of the VIC
tory won by his party was known,
which might be studied with ad-
vantage by those whose PARTISAN
ship is sometimes stronger than
their common sense. For ins
stance, he said: 1T is to be
hoped that the victorious party
will realize that its triumph
only serves to increase its re-
sponsiblity; not to its adherants
only, but to all the people. The
protests and criticisms of the mi
norlty when made In good faith
may justly demand honest and
.patient consideration from the
party invested with legislative
aud administrative power. Pro-
tests ard criticisms have filled
the air with clamorous tongue.

of domestic peace and economic
well-being. This opinion is,
believe, full shared by those Of
the opposing party, whether from
the north or, south, who, repre-

officers recently returned from the

information concerning the malad-
ministration by General Otis of the
great aud almost unlimited power in

mystery to every officer and soldier

A newspaper Is an educator; there are all

United States are unsurpassed.
The Sans Cable Service is che finest known;
the troubles In the Philippines and In South

observation, and the following para.

Mr.. Tyler has accepted the wishes OF
the people in the matter and Is now
making one of the most interesting and
enthusiastic political campaigns ever
seer In the Old Dominion, and which is
certain to ultimately result in q great
victory.
The ashes of bitterness have been
waited away, and in the light of a

note the birth of another hope that
must return to dust and leave its
devotees to mourn a fitting phantom
