Row 1T HAPPENED.

While our Two excellent contemporaries
are engaged in the entertaining task Of
alternately reviling each other, explain
ing how it all happened, and trying to
minimize its significance, the Globe
wishes to present a few of the salient
facts which the campaign and the figures
of the election reveal as having had
more or less influence in bringing about
the great Democratic victory of Tues
day.
The victory was due, first OF and above
all other reasons, to Democratic uni
fieation and the enthusiastic spirit in
which Democrats took part in the cam
paign. The campaign itself was con-
Quoted slilllully and with much ability
In every direction, and the Republican
politicians were not permitted for sin
gle hour to set away from the record
they had made during the past four years.
The attempts, made to create diversion
by abuse of individuals and by unmeas-
ured falsehood and false pretense con-
cernins the existing city debt were made
short work of; and the election was de
cided, in spite of those whose official fate
was involved, on the record of the last
two Republican administrations.
On the respective merits of the two
candidates for mayor the people were
very clear. They knew that the influenza
which y-c11Id ba II, cop+,o, - ,,i-..

knew that the man could not be regard

WORTHY OF HIS MASTERS.

As indicat ting the liberality of soul which
animates the national official in his ex-
penditure of the public funds under the
inspiration of Imperialism the figures re-
Gently published in these columns, show
ing the occasions and the amount of the
OUTLAWS made in connection with the
American exhibit at Paris. are quite en-
tertaining.
Commissioner General Peck Is quite
worthy of the record thus far made by
the imperiaiist administration and con-
gress Indeed he has evidently been
chosen for the post he holds chiefly by
virtue of his ability to sustain the repu-
tation of Americans abroad for their Law
ish expenditure In the course of ona
year, for instance, or from Nov. 10, 1888,
to Nov. l, 1899, he got away with about
$3.50, co.,
OF course it is necessary to make some
show of specification, even in these times,
when such an amount has been taken
from the national treasury. And, accord
ingly, Commissioner Peck makes the
specification, as has appeared from the
Washington correspondence of the
Globe One item of specification il
this: Salaries of experts, So, CAS-" An
other is: Officers salaries, $l7.765 Still
another Salaries of clerks, 1929" To
these are added: travelling expenses,
$36,245," and Miscellaneous, SO, 100
1t has evidently not been thought neces-
sary by Mr.. Peck in the specification of
his expenditures to tell his country In just
what line of expert work he found it
necessary to expend $4,000, in addition to
laying out SIZE for officers salaries, and
twice that amount for clerks salaries.
AS to the miscellaneous item, it might
hardly: accord with American reputation
to expect this high official to tell anybody
just how miscellaneous he was In its dis
pensation.
Ten thousand dollars is, of course,
trihe where the reputation OF the Ameri-
can nation has to be maintained in for
eign lands. But certain of Mr. Commits
sioner Peck's other items are relatively
and absolutely somewhat remarkable
For instance, he expends So, eco for clerks,
S72,00O for experts and $1,000 for officers
salaries, while the total moneys expend-
ed by him for buildings on the grounds
of the worlds fair only reach the COM
paratively small amount Of SIS, Coo. Now,
the ordinary mortal would regard the
main sources of expenditure in connection
with such an occasion to center around
the construction of buildings and their
equipment for the work expected of them.
Yet the travelling expenses of Mr.. Peck
and his experts and clerks reach a figure
within less than $4,000 of the amount laid
out for buildings and their equipment,
while more than one-fourth of this
amount Is designated miscellaneous"
and his corps of clerks and experts"
need just three times as much to pay
them as it does to put up the buildings
necessary for the American exhibit.
OF course this people are able at any
time to raise any conceivable amount Of
money for the enterprises into which their
imperialist masters may bring them. as
