What the Recent Elections show Re-

NEW HAVEN, Oct 3.-The returns OF
the elections last Monday in sixty-ons

elections of earlier years in the rest of the

year to come: There are 16S towns in the
State. OF these. II townships contain cities.
and % others are borough towns. All tbs
urban towns are for license. as are 10 OF
the % borough towns. The three no-license
borough towns are Bethel, Guilford. and
Stonington. the latter. with a population
of 7.1Sl. being the largest town in the
State to elect the no-Iicsnse system.
There was a hot fight in the town on
the question this year, and the town was
nearly carried by the license men. The
large town OF Plainfeld. where the vote
was tie last year, was for the first time
in thirty years carried for license last Mon
day. The only important ro-lieense gaia

This years elections. like preceding ones
in the State show the persistency of the
rural towns in no license, and the steacy
drift of the large municipalities to license,
broken, in the latter case, by occasional
local revolts when the liquor laws have
been abused. The Democratic gain of six
towns in last Mondays election can hardly
be charged to any raising of the license
question. and is more plausibly attributed
to the Republican schism over the COVER

the inventor Of the wireless telegraphy
system, for installing the system on board
ships of the United States Navy. The
previous negotiations came to an end be-
cause the Navy Department regarded the
price named by Marconi for the use of his
system as excessive. At that time he
wanted $4,000 royalty and $4,000 for each
set of instruments installed. Recently the
Department has learned that the British
Admiralty has secured the use of the Mar
conf invention at the rate of goo for
each installation and has placed instru-
ments aboard thirty-two warships. The
Navy Department regards that rate as
reasonable, and will make overtures to
Marconi in the hope of securing quite
as good terms. Should an arrangement be
effected the vessels OF the North Atlantic
squadron will be the first to receive the
instruments. The experiments conducted
by several officers with the Marconi in
struments were satisfactory enough to
bring them TO the conclusion that wireless
telegraphy would be OF value to ships
at sea.

II would be difficult to imagine stronger
or more pointed political object lesson than
| that presented by the anthracite strike in
Pennsylvania. There we have the spectacle
of a great and absolutely dominating trust
grinding the face of labor to powder
forcing people to work for wages which
mean starvation to the workingman while
the trust magnates grow richer than ever
because their profits are larger than ever
With entire propriety from their own
point Of view the trust Republican cam

so kept The American public is curious
and interested as to the differences known
to exist in the anthracite field between
capital and labor. Singularly. the public Is

This does not happen often. but some

quently called attention to the economic
conditions in the anthracite field. They
have been of g kind to make the blood of
good citizens boil Whereas, some years
ago. when the price OF coal was not as high
as it aow is. a miner could make one hun
bred and fifty dollars month, just before
the strike the average earnings of a miner
were from twenty -four TO thirty dollars
month He had to buy his own powder at
the company store and pay for it at the
rate of two dollars and seventy aye cents
a keg-powder which cost the coal trust
ninety cents a keg. He was only paid once
a month In the mean time he had credit
at the company store. The store charged
about fifty to cae hundred per cent profit
and at the end of the month the miner
would find his earnings exhausted if he
was lucky enough not to be in debt to his
masters.
Now, we say without any sort of hesita-
tiCn that American freemen should not live
under such conditions; that they are vi
cious. intolerable, and such as, If general,
would justify revolution, and that the
Pennsylvania miners are right in striking
against them. More power to their organi

Then comes a list of the hues, which
sounds good deal like the finest efforts

be overrated. But even bargain coun-

calmly that there were enough clouds
near by to make upholstery of flame.

admiration But DR.. Talmage does not
pay much attention to the Lord. appar-
