THE HIGGINS CASE.

The case of John NJ. Higgins is likely to
attract considerable attention throughout
the country. and is really more important
than may appear at first sight. The con-
viction of a councilman any other pub
lie official for accepting or soliciting a
bride is an extraordinary occurrence-per-
haps too extraordinary for the purity of
public life. The Journal does not at all
subscribe to the theory that our politics
are utterly corrupt and that all public Of
ficials are ION the make" This pessimis-
tic view is far from the truth and does
great injustice 10 the honest men who
constitute the great majority of office

Representative Bailey, of Texas, who ex-
poets TO reach the Senate soon, is reported
as saying that the Republicans will be sue
cessful four years hence unless there shall
be a panic of a very severe character 1t
is hoped that Mr.. Bailey will take a more
cheerful view of the situation as the date
of the event of Nov. 6 recedes, because it is
unfortunate for leader to believe that
the only hope of his party is in conditions
that will fill the country with loss and suf-
fering. The very strenuous partisan who
holds such views is in great danger of be-
ing purveyor of calamity who will come
eventually to desire smokeless factories.
scanty freight trains and thousands of idle
and suffering people.
1t would be miraculous If, during the
next four years, there should not be sea-
son of depression The capacity of the
country 10 produce most kinds of mer-
chandise is far in excess of its capacity to
consume 1t is probable that the abundant
and cheap capital will lead TO the con-
struction of other factories. which will pre-
vent combinations from limiting produc-
ton to the demands for consumption. AT
the present time everything is moving for
ward with full sweep. This condition. de-
lightful as 1t is to contemplate, cannot con-
tinue forever. or even for four years The
export trade may fall off, railroads may
have purchased all the rails they need. the
demands for labor and material for new
buildings may decline and score of other
causes may conspire to check consumption,
which will render ii necessary to curtail
production to go and fill warehouses
with unsold goods.
1t would be unjust to hold any party
sponsible for such decline in consump
ton unless it should legslate so unwisely
as TO destroy that confidence which in
spires activity and is always the forerun-
ner of depression and panic. There never
was party which did not believe that it's
policy would promote the general pros
perity. The only men ever known to sup
port candidate whose election would
bring financial panic were Mr.. Schurz and
his friends. who declared that panic would
be a small price to pay for the overthrow
of Mckinley Imperialism. The Republican
party has generally furnished the condi-
tions which have inspired the confidence
essential to the country's prosperity. There
is reason to believe that it will act as
wisely in the future as in the past.

THE NOVEMBER CORN CORNER.

For several days November corn has
been selling in Chicago from AZ to AZ cents.
November corn is not worth that figure.
and probably few people who make use of
large quantities of corn in manufacture
will purchase it at that price The price in
Chicago is due TO the fact that new
man named Phillips has got control of
is, corn that. during the remainder of this
month will grade up to No. g This person,
ascertaining that there was about 10000
bushels of corn in sight got control of the
greater part of il at So cents a bushel. Sup
posing that Phillips has every bushel of
November corn in sight, he would make
neat sum, but after Phillips got control of
the real corn he continued to buy Novem-
Der corn in the pit from all who offered, SO
that ii is probable that dealers are under
contract to furnish him several million
bushels of corn at prices above Sc cents.
so that. unless these shorts can deliver
the real corn they must settle with the
young plunger at the market price during

condition that it will pass as No. 2. 1t has
since been declared that none of the new
corn thus dried will be graded as No. Pa
report which has helped Phillips. Thus it
that Mr.. Phillipss corner is a pretty
strong one.
While November corn has sold as high as
AZ cents, December corn is about IS cents
in Chicago which would be the price of
that of November but for the interference
of Mr.. Phillips. If he can protect his corner
until Dec. l he will make large amount Of
money, and all those who have sold to
him and are short will lose money A few
holders of real corn may realize something
but Phillips will make the pile unless he
shall fall down. On the other hand, the
shorts" may be forced into bankruptcy if
they have sold heavily. Meantime, those
who are obliged to purchase corn for mill
ing like purposes cannot purchase what
is called November corn. Such transactions
interfere with the legitimate trade in corn.

correspondent of the Washington Post
asks: What would happen in case the
presidential electors should exercise their
constitutional right I'm the choice of Pres
ident far TO ignore the so-calied
presidential election of Nov 81" 1t is
hardly worth while to speculate as to what
would happen in the event of some con-
tingency too remote to be considered. 1t is
true the Electoral College is an entirely
independent body, there being no provision
in the Constitution or laws to prevent the
electors chosen by the people from voting
for whomsoever they please for President
and Vice President, but political tradi-
ton, party usage and the unwritten law
OF nominating conventions are so strong
that there is no danger of the electors not
carrying out the will of the people. In the
event of the death of successful candi-
date between the date of the election and
the meeting of the electors of the various
States on the second Monday in January
the electors could vote for whom they
pleased unless the winning party should
make its choice known in some authorta-
tive way. When Horace Greeley died be-
tween the election of 1872 and the meeting
OF the electors forty-two of the sixty-three
votes previously instructed for him were
cast for Thomas A. Hendricks. whose name
had not been before the Democratic con-
vention at all.

Philadelphia Record.

The trolley car conductors, especially
those who are still young enough to feel a
sense of pride in their personal appearance,
are glad that the open cars are being
taken off. Did you ever drop a coin into
the hand of a conductor and allow your
finger tips to come in contact with his
palm. If so, you have discovered that hts
callous palm is almost as hard as iron.
This doesn't come from handling coins. as
one might suppose. 1t comes from walk
ing along the side steps of summer cars,
and swinging from rail to rail with the
hands, for all. the world like monkeys az
the Zoo. Six months of this continuous
contact with brass rails makes the palms
of the hands hard and callous ut takes
a long time to get the hands in good shape
again., said a young conductor yesterday.
MY hands will just about be getting soft
again when the open cars will start rasi-
ming next spring.
