NaihIonaI Aspects OF the Election.

There was really nothing to
make this a democratic year."
and therefore intelligent observ-
ers are not disappointed that
there were so few tangible gains
for the party in the State cleo
tons on Tuesday. The country
is still prosperous. President
Roosevelt has Won far more con-
fdence than he has lost since his
accession. The Democrats are
not wholly united upon any i'm
portant live issue. They have
no recognized and trusted nation
al leader.
The gain of a Senator in Ken
lucky is simply a coming to its
own again of the party in a State
that is normally strongly Demo
cratic. The success of Mr.. Cor
man in Maryland is victory of
the same sort.
In some of the other States
there is a reduction of the Re-
publican majorities on a light
vote and in others an increase of
the same on similar conditions.
These results can hardly be
claimed to have much signifi-
canoe. The coming session of
Congress and the first year of
President Roosevelt's Admins
tration may tend to sharpen the
issues and awaken anew party
spirit, but national politics did
not cut great figure in the cleo
tons this year.-N. Y. World.

Vaccine kiIIs.cows.

Ian uCu HCdl DdilluSl OHJ unity
miles northwest of Chicago, are in
panic over the fatal results of using
poisonous vaccine points for the
prevention of anthrax. Cows are
dying by the hundred and a loss of
many thousand dollars is expected.
Men on every farm are daily burn
ing the carcasses of the dead cattle.
The drug company which furnished
the fatal vaccine has already paid
for a number of dead COWS and suits
are threatened to collect damages
for all the cattle killed by the vac
cine.
Fear is expressed that the poison
IN the vaccine is contagious and the
disease is likely to spread over the
entire northern end of the state if
some radical action is not quickly
taken. As a precaution all the car
cases are gathered into heaps and
burned, but the farmers say that the
sick cattle have run through bushes
and rubbed against fences, thus
spreading the infection in every
field of the dairy district. The
state officials have begun action to
prevent further danger from a
spreading of the disease.
About three weeks ago anthrax
was discovered in two COWS belong
ing to E. Elfring. DR.. L. Dytle at
once sent to Chicago for vaccine
points. With these he vaccinated
twenty-four COWS for Elfring. Ev-
cry COW sickened within nine days
and now every one is dead and
burned to ashes. Without waiting
for results in Elfring's cattle, DR..
Lytle, at the request of the state
live stock commissioner, vaccinated
900 head of cattle in the vicinity OF
Darlington to prevent the spread Of
anthrax.
The farmers continued to haul
their milk to the dairy train and
helped fill the two carloads of milk
that leave Darlington every day fol
Chicago. In nine days there were
more sick COWS to the acre in the
neighborhood than the oldest inhabi.
tant can remember. Milk fell of
and buyers had to go many miles in.
to the country to obtain enough
milk to fill their contracts. These
buyers lost much money in this way
and they threatened suit for dam
ages.
After couple days sickness til,
COWS began to drop dead in the
fields. Farmers were kept busy
hauling them into heaps and firing
the piles, One farmer last fifty-fiv,
head of valuable cattle. So far no
one of the vaccinated COWS has es
capped and only dozen or SO of thu
whole 800 which were vacinated ar,
still alive. These few are said to b,
fatally sick.

AS soon as it was decided by Dr.

word of the conditions was sent t,
the drug company. A represena

and he ordered that Elfring be pail

Andrew Carnegie, in his inter-
view on Saturday, said of reci-
procity: "a very fine word to
speak, but to arrange the details
of the policy is a very difficult
matter" And after recalling
the fact.that Blaine used to talk
enthusiastically on the subject,
he added; 1.-THE best policy is
to reduce protective duties"
In this brief but luminous ex-
preston of opinion Mr.. Carnegie
shows his appreciation of the
fact that many people have only
the most confused conception of
what the reciprocity which Blaine
advocated and which Mckinley
championed in,his last public ut
terance really means. Mr.. Car
negie helps to clear away the fog
that surrounds the subject by
his simple and direct declara-
ton that "the best policy is to
reduce protective duties. That
will be, must be, the practical eff
feet of any real reciprocity treat
les.
AS Henry G. Kittredge, in an
article in the latest issue of Dry
Goods, truly says, all the pend
ing commercial treaties between
this and other countries are FAC.
acknowledgements that many of our
tariff rates on foreign goods are
two high" and "can be lowered
without initiating against any
domestic industry" Not a few
advocates of reciprocity speak Of
it as if they expected, by Jug
handled treaties, still further It
enlarge our sales to foreigners
and at the same time curtail oul
already comparatively small pur
chases of them. But true reel
procity means larger exchanges
AS Mckinley pithily expressed
it, 1--WE must not repose in fan
cied security that we can foreyel
sell everything and buy little o.
nothing New York World.

VI. Lemos at Kakaako Friday after
noon, were found guilty OF assault
and battery in the First District cour
yesterday morning. and were fined So
and costs each by Judge Wilcox
The eviction party was represented
by an array OF legal talent including
Attorneys Correa and Biting. The
prosecution vas conducted single
handed By Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth The case was one in which
assault and battery appeared as j
primary issue. while the right and Il
tie 10 property was also involved
The decision handed down in the police
court yesterday was not accepted a
final by the defendants, and, through
their legal counsel, they gave notice
of appeal TO a higher court.
From the gist OF testimony offered
it appears that John NJ Lenos holds
a lease upon the Kakaako property
the same having been sold at public
auction 10 J. S. Azervedo under a
foreclosure of mortgage by NJ G.
Silva.
Iemos Was obdurate.
Lemos retained possession of the
premises He refused TO leave without
having first consulted with his attor-
neys. The recent purchasers of the
lease becoming impatient at the delay
decided upon taking the law in their
own hands. The eight men visited the
home OF Lemos last Friday afternoon,
and informed him that he could take
his choice of leaving the premises
quietly, or that upon refusal the crowd
intended to forcibly eject him. Lemos
stood his ground, and refused to move.
1t was then alleged that he was struck
by members of the party, and his
household goods were taken from the
rooms and placed in the street.
Judge Scared Defendants.
In passing sentence upon the more
or less distinguished defendants Judge
Wilcox took occasion to pass out some
solid chunks of advice. He informed
the men charged with assault that the
laws of the Territory provide ample
ways wherein man can gain posses
sion of what rightfully belongs TO him.
There is no provision in the stat
utes which allows man to take the
law in his own hands" declared the
judge. "As far as policemen giving
legal advice, it will sometimes lead 20
cariouc t-nuhla This Sondiny for, O No
liceman every time the baby has the
collie has become very wearisome.
The officer had no right to advise Lee
mos to leave his premises"
The court further insisted: we
are an American community now and
are supposed to have become more
civilized. We must comply with the
law. I think this eviction proceeding
was little short of high handed out
rage. | am really surprised that so
many attorneys have been mixed up
in the affair"

declared that LemoS left the prem

remained the invaders were working

Lemos Tells His Story.

According TO the story told by J. NJ.
Lemos. the complaining witness. the
eight defendants led by NJ G. Silva.
visited his premises at Kakaako Fri
day last and at the time told him to
vaeate the place Lemos further
stated that Silva took him by the arm
and advised him to leave the house
in order TO avoid trouble. Lemos re-
fused TO comply and informed the
party that they must take the eonse-
Quences if they undertook to evict
him. Lemos claimed he was then sur
rounded by the delegation and ne soon
found himself in the grasp of Messrs.
j. NJ. Camara. John S. Aseredo, N. G.
Silva and John GouvSa, who took
Lemos by the shoulder and pushed
him out of the yard. Attorney Creigh-
ton was said to have taken a hand
in the eviction proceedings at this
juncture. Approaching Lemos. Creign-
ton said:
You set out of this place. l have
the law on my side.
Lemos went on 10 say: Creighton
then struck me on the chest and at
the same time ordered me out Of the
yard. The lawyer struck me three or
four times
