l. New York, Nov. 9.-President c. S.
Mellen of the Northern Pacific reached
this city from the west today, and a
long business session of the executive
committee of the board of directors
was held in the afternoon. The COM
mittee approved some important con-
tracts and determined to recommend
the declaration of an additional divi-
dend. No official statements regard
ing the amount of this dividend will
be made until after the meeting of the
full board of directors tomorrow
There is good reason to believe, how
ever, that it will be / per cent, maxi
ing per cent paid out of the years

President Mellen said that the man
ayers of the road expected an improve
ment in business conditions from now
on, and a consequent increase in traf-
fic. Business all over the country, he
remarked was bound to settle down
naturally to four years undisturbed
growth. In spite of the disturbing
influences of the political campaign,
the Northern Pacific would be able to
show an increase in gross EARNINGS

EXPLAINING.

Hearst's Chicago American, which
has been among Bryan's most ardent
supporters, in an editorial on the cleo
tion says:
"The latest indications are that Nc
kinley has carried every state he car
ried in 1896 and several that Bryan
carried then, in cluding his own state
of Nebraska.
William Mckinley has been re-
elected in most decisive fashion. His
popular majority is much less than in
1896. but his electoral majority is;
enormous.
Through the haze of this defeat
the democratcy can see the victory that
might have BEEN Beyond a doubt
Mr.. Bryan would have been triun-.
phantly elected but for two things.
''The first was the introduction of
the silver issue. Free silver was
dead, and so unpopular that even it's
corpse was enough to drag any man
down to defeat. 4,
THE second was the policy of cut
ting loose entirely from the Philip
pines. That was not in accord with
the spirit of the American people.
The people have evidently made up
their minds to dispose of free silver
once for all. The effort was super
fiuous, for free silver had ceased to
exist as a possible policy four years
ago, but the voters, were determined
not to have the remains lying around
any longer. +.
THE democratic party has paid by
two defeats the adoption of an unpop-
ular and discredited issue. Free sill
yer was defensible in 1896, although
even then its advocates had an uphill
fight. But everything that has hap
pened in the past four years has helped
to bury it deeper in the grveyard Of
obsolete issues. 4
AS to the Philippines The Amer
lean was the first paper to advocate
their retention. but it never believed
in attempting to hold their affections
with a shotgun, as Mckinley is doing.
That policy is as repugnant to the
American people as it is to The Amer
lean, but the people clearly thought
as between two methods OF dealing
with the islands, neither OF which they
approved, they would take the one
that could be amended rather than
one that would be irrevocable.
s American public opinion believes
in the retention Of the Philippines and
in the extension to that country Of d
truly American form OF government,
under which the Filipinos would have
no provocation to revolt It believes
that free silver was dead III 1886 and y
il ten times deader Id 1900 This Ii
one issue, at least, that will not be i
heard Of again In thelmmediats fn-
ture.,

JUDICIAL RESULT.

Of About 300 ou the Unofficial
s.5 # Figures.

Counties.
Emmons, Burleigh and Oliver Give Small
Majorities for Register Ap- NJ

The extent of Judge Winchester's
majority in this Judicial district has
been in doubt until today, although
the fact of his election was generally
conceded from the first returns. These.
tended to show that his majority
would be about 500 but the COM
pleted figures from outlaying coun-
ties increase this until it appears he
will have a majority of about 800 votes
in the district. Mclean county gave
him the largest majority, 352. Nor
ton and Stark give about 200 each. and
the returns from Mercer, with one or
two precincts to hear from, Indicate
that he will have nearly if not quite
200 majority there. The result as it
is figured on the unofficial figures, is
as follows: =S #

ton of air can be obtained in fine

The shed is floored over above, form
Ing an apartment II feet wide by 40
feet long for storage Of corn. A trap
door may be made in this floor to hand
up corn from below. The shed between
the cribs will make splendid store
house for implements. AS many doors
may be made in the cribs as desired,
says writer in the Ohio Farmer, who
also gives the following suggestions
about keeping crops:
When roots are properly put away in
pits, they keep better than when stor-
ed in cellars, especially seed potatoes
that one wants to use for late planting.
The difficulties in the way of keeping
roots in pits are the danger that frost
will penetrate the covering and the
risk Of heating for want Of ventilation.
By the use of board coverings or shut.
ters these difficulties may with care be
wholly removed. The board coverings
may be made of length to cover one
side of the pit; 4 by 6 feet will be
found handy size. Any rough. cheap
boards will answer the purpose These
may be cut into the required length
and nailed to ~rosspieces made of 2 by
6 joist placed edgeways. as shown in
the cut.
When the roots are heaped In the
usual manner and covering of straw
eight or nine inches thick placed up
and down on the heaps, the boards or
shutters are laid on the straw so that
they nearly meet on the top. Space is
left through which the ends of the
straw project. The straw is turned
down over the edges of the boards
when the dirt is thrown on them. The
boards are placed upon the straw with
the cieats down SO that they lie hori.
Eontally. There is then an air space Of
six inches between the thickness of
straw as protection to the root.
In addition there may be as thick a
covering of earth thrown upon the
boards as may be required. In most
places six to ten inches will be needed.
