FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1902
THE RESULT

Last Tuesdays election has not
changed the political complexion
of Congress, though the Democrats
made substantial gains, especially
in the East and West.
The Democrats have gained four
and probably five Senators, thus re-
ducing the Republican majority in
the Senate. The Republicans will
control the next House by a greatly
reduced majority. The Democrats
made a gain of nearly thirty mem
bers in the House.
A rather peculiar feature of the
election is the sectional distribu-
ton of the party gains. For in
stance, in the East, the Democrats
made gains in nearly every State.
In the Middle West the gains were
rather equally distributed. In the
far West and Pacific Coast States
the Republicans had the best of it,
except in two and possibly three
States. The political complexion
of the South has not been changed.
The gains in the South are favor
able to the Democrats.
In New York, where more inter
est was manifested in the guberna-
torial election than in any other
State, a hot fight was waged and
the Democrats made a clean gain
of over 100000 votes. Odell was
reelected governor, but Coler cut
his majority down to about 10000.
Odell carried the State in 1900 by
over 100000 majority.
In fact, there is nothing in the
general result to give the Republi-
cans comfort or cause them sub
stantial grounds Of hope for the
future, They have claimed all the
time that victory would be mean
ingless to Republicans. Yet they
have insisted, If we must have vic
tory let it be decisive, overwhelm-
ing. But, instead Of something
overwhelming, they are cut down
to a bare majority in the House,
and, if we are to believe Republi-
cans, they are not over pleased in
+their halfway success in retaining
absolute control at Washington.
Il AS it is, the Republicans must
shoulder undivided responsibility
during the next two years, and the
Democrats can in no wise be held
to account for administration acts,
for impotent trust legislation, for
tariff trimming and for subterfuges
and makeshifts.
IfDemocrats require consolation
for a so-called defeat, which, in re-
atty, only serves to demonstrate
the great tendency toward concen-
tration of Democratic forces and
to rehabilitate Democracy every
where with something Of the old
time spirit, then such consolation
may be found in the reflection that
our chance Of victory in the next
Presidential election can not be
hampered or impaired by the blum
ders Of Republican Congress for
which we are in nowise response
BILE. In other words, this Republi-
can "victory" may be Democracy's
revenge!

The next morning, October 3, Wis
tied the families Of Tom b., Edgar
and Gus Totty, and took dinner
with Tom b. forty and we had his
sister, Mrs. Loudie Travis, to din
ner also. Loudie, my daughter-in-
law, had come up from Bell Buckle
where she had been spending a few
days with her son, Orville.
AT $3.50 p. m. Loudie aud myself
entered cars for Washington. We
arrived at Chattanooga at 1030and
remained there asleep on the cars
until $3.50 a. M, October 4, when
our train pulled out for Washing
ton. We saw some wild scenery
between Chattanooga and Knox
vile, where we arrived at 2 p. M,
and had dinner, paying rs cents
each for dinner. From Knoxville
to Asheville, N. O., the landscape
grew wilder, magnifcently so. We
eat lunch at Asheville on the cars.
When we left Asheyille the shades
of evening set in and we saw little
of the country until next day.
An amusing incident occurred on
the cars in our section about 5 a.
M. October 5 that is too good to be

and smiled, and he looked at me
and smiled. After [ had dressed
l walked down the aisle toward him
and also toward the smoker. He
also came toward me, looking so
pleased l thought he wanted to
shake hands with me, and when I
held out my hand to him he did the
same to me, and about that time I
butted into a large mirror and it
then dawned on me that [ had been

never ashamed Of the truth.
A few miles beyond Knoxville
the railroad crossed the HoIstein
River. The railroad runs parallel
with French Broad River a great
number of miles. The river is a
broad, shallow, and swift running
stream. Along the French Broad
on each side Of the river as far as
the eye can see is the most mag
nifcent scenery, grand and awe
inspiring. After leaving French
Broad River toward Washington
the face of the country is dotted
by very high hills, but as one pro-
ceeds on the way the hills become
smaller and the face of the country
hattens out and becomes compare
lively level.

The Dos and the Pig.

An exchange says; "Kill your
dog and buy pig with the dollar
you save on-dog tax. The scraps
you feed the dog will make the
pig weigh three hundred pounds,
and then you could sell it and
give your wife the money!
Yes, kill your dear old, faithful,
mindful, thankful, trustful dog
and buy pig. But when you
come home after a hard days
toll don't expect that same pig to
meet you two blocks away with a
joyful little cry Of welcome at
every jump. Sometimes when
you feel unusually blue and it
seems if the whole world was
knocking against you, don't
expect it to nestle up to your side
and, laying it's head within your
lap, wag out its unalloyed SYM
pathy. Don't expect it to for
sake its meals of "scraps" just
for the privilege Of being your
companion on a lonely drive or
walk. Don't expect it to do any
of these little things--there is a
4 vast difference between your most
constant friend and pig.-Ex,

The Batesville Bee is calling
upon the prosecuting attorney

the man who changed the ballots

did the work is well known to a

is I prominent official and busi-
ness man, If there is any way of

The Arkansas Democrat be-
lieves the proposed constitutional
amendment was defeated at the
late election because OF the gen.
eral lack of information concern
ing its meaning. The Democrat
is mistaken. We think it safe to
say this amendment was defeated
because the people did not wish
to grant the legislators the power
to fix their own salaries. By the
defeat of amendment No. 7, we
hardly think the people mean to
say that they do not favor abol-
ishing the per diem systom and
placing the members Of the legis-
lature on stipulated salary. If
an opportunity was afforded, we
have no doubt the people would
express themselves in favor Of an
amendment giving the legislator
a salary of 5000, but the people
are wise enough to know that it
the legislature is empowered to
fix the salary Of its members, the
amount fixed upon will not tie
less than $1,000, and in all proba-
bility more.
