THE ELECTIONS

At o'clock this morning 1t was i'm
| possible to determine from the returns
the political complexion of the next
House of Representatives. The indica-
| lions were. however, that the RepubIi-
cans had been successful by a very
| small majority. Chairman Griggs OF
the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, however, was still confident that
the Democrats had been victorious, and
he estimated that they would have a
majority of twelve. The Democrats
! made considerable gains in votes
in some of the states, but it is doubt
full if they were sufficient to give them
the result they hoped for In many
districts the vote was very close, and
it will be a day or two before the re-
suit in these districts will be known.
The gubernatorial contest in New
York excited as much interest as the
congressional elections. Both the
Democrats and Republicans were
confident Of victory. and
it was not until well along
towards midnight that the Re-
publicans began to make positive as
sertions that Odell, their candidate for
Governor, was elected. The large ma
jority for Coler, the Democratic can
didate, in New York city. particularly
in the Brooklyn district, surprised
them. The country districts, however,
gave Odell a very large vote, sufficient,
from the latest returns, to overcome
Coiers majority in New York city.
Pattison, the Democratic can
didate for Governor in Pennsyl-
vania. made a splendid run outside of
Philadelphia. and one or two other
cities. but he fell far short of carrying
the state.
In Ohio. Tom johnson, the Demo
cratic leader. does not appear to have
made as much of an impression as was
expected. He made a vigorous cam
paign, anG the Democrats of that state
have some gains to their credit, but
the Republicans were generally sue
cessful.
The success of the Democrats in
Delaware is gratifying. The indica-
tons are that they will control the
Legislature. In that event Addicks will
be eliminated from the politics of the
state.
Throughout the West the Republic
cans appear to have. as a general
thing, maintained their lines unbrok-
en-. and the expected movement to the
Democrats on account Of the sentiments
in favor of reduction of the tariff did
not occur.
In the south of course the elections
were all one way. The south will send
pretty nearly a solid delegation to
Congress-

DON'T Bully the Witness.

Don't make the mistake of bullying
witness on cross-examination," Judge
William K. Townsend of the United
States Circuit Court advised a class
in the Yale Law School, says the New
York Times. 1T only makes him obsti-
nate and wary. l have found that the
best way is to agree with him and
f1atter him until he forgets you're try
ing to trap him. and gives himself
away. When L was counsel for the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company, the road was sued
for damages by stalwart fellow who
claimed that his right arm, which look
ed sound enough, had been so injured in
a wreck that he could not raise it
above his waist.
You say you're unable to move
your right arm freely? 1 asked him
pleasantly.
Yes, sir
"'What pity! said I. Now just
how far can you raise ito
Only so high said he, lifting it
with painful grimace to his waist.
Too bad, too bad I sympathized.
And before this accident I'll wager you
We're physically a match for any man.
You bet 1 was he assented
warmly.
land could swing that arm around
as we'll as the next fellow?'
Better he declared.
Just show us how high you could
raise it then asked quickly.
Away up here!' he answered, hoist
ing his arm straight over his head with
unwary enthusiasm.

A day or two ago there was brought
before the Supreme Court of the United
States an appeal from the decision OF
the Federal District Court in Alabama
in the case of a negro who had been
refused registration by an election
board. The case involves the constitu-
tiona1ity of the so-called grandfather
clause of the new constitution Of Ala
bama, which win now be brought to
the attention of the Supreme Court for
a decision. The grandfather clause
has been embodied in the new consti-
buttons of North Carolina and Louis
lana, as well as in that of Alabama.
The hearing of the case and the de-
cision of the Supreme Court will be
awaited with interest all over the coun-
try.

Forty years ago it was not an I'M
common thing to find ministers Of the
gospel protesting vehemently against
the introduction of instrumental music
into the churches over which they pre-
sided. They regarded organs. comets.
violins and similar instruments pretty
much in the light of inventions Of the
evil one. and felt that the presence Of
such things in the church would be a
proclamation of the sanctuary. The mu-
sic of the human voice. they declared,
was the kind and the only kind with
which to worship. That spirit Of in
tolerance, however, has pretty well
passed away and nearly all ministers
nowadays recognize the value Of first
class music in the church service 1t
sounds like barking back many years,
therefore, when we hear that the Rev.
]. w. McGarvey, pastor of a church
of 1000 communicates in the city of
Louisville, KY, has resigned his charge
and left the organization because the
congregation insisted on placing an Or
gan in the church.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Qnd.),
says: There never was time when
the demand was more urgent than now
for the active participation of intelli-
gent, conservative, far-seeing men in
the ground-fioor work of politics.
Never a time when the need of prop
erly educating the masses was more
pressing and acute"
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
Oem.), says: Senator Jones of Ar
kansas predicts victory for the DEM
ocrats, but takes occasion to call on
the president and then talk about his
excellent qualities and the great good
they are doing the Republicans. But
then a job on the trans-isthmian canal
commission lasts a long time"
The Buffalo IN. ". Times (Dem.).
says: 1.-The candid declaration of
United States Senator Hoar that no
constitutional amendment is needed to
get at the lawless trusts Is another
embarrassment to President Roosevelt
and Attorney General Knox, who are
trying to hide behind that subterfuge.
Republican leaders will soon have to
come out boldly and say they are for
trusts first. last and all the time"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.),
says: with true New England in
cisiveness, Secretary Moody insists
that the hugger-mugger process by
which anthracite was at once put on
the free list and made subject to a
tariff tax reflects no credit whatever
upon those concerned in the matter
But there was hothing inadvertent
about 1t. The majority in Congress
had every opportunity, through public
debate. private explanation and news
paper publicity, to inform itself OF
the true state of the case-that no for
eign anthracite could withstand the %
per cent. carbon test. 1t was a pecu-
liarly contemplate legislative trick
and swindle-all the more so since not
a single producer OF anthracite in
this country had thought Il worth
while TO enter the lists for tarin
bo6nty."

A certain stock broker in Atlantic
City has probably not finished kicking
himself yet The other day a plainly
dressed woman of rather more than
middle age sauntered into his office.
In her hands she carried several mag
'azines, while attached to her belt was
rusty looking little black bag. The
broker sized her up as book agent.
The woman looked awhile at the ticker
tape and then made a casual remark
to the broker, who Immediately began
to get busy at his desk. He thought
the book agent was merely breaking
the ice preparatory to Offering him
the life of somebody, neatly bound in
boards, price only IS. The woman made
another remark or two. in response to
which the broker only mumbIed and
scratched his pen harder than ever.
Seeing that he had no intention of paw
ing any attention to her, the woman
approached the desk, laid a card ON It
and went quietly out and shut the door
after her. The brokers' smile changed
into dry grin when he read on the
card, Mrs. Hetty Green"

A Modern Miracle.

An English contemporary tells the
following good story of muscular
Christianity. In smoking room of a
hotel in Dublin. where sat a huge
priest. some men were scofing stupidity
about miracles. Up rose the priest and
offered to perform a miracle. He seized
the most blatant of the scoffers, car
ried him to the door, and kicked him
into the street. When the unhappy
youth returned the priest asked, AN
did We break your back?" 81 did not, -
was the answer. We'll, it's a miracle
we didn't" answered the priest.

There is a merry war on in Phila-
delphia between the owners of fast
horses and the owners of automobiles.
So long as there was nothing
faster on the roads that the
horses, their owners couldn't see any
excuse for or sense in a speed
limit, however vehemently pedes-
trians protested against fast driv-
ing. Now. however, that the still
faster auto has come, bringing with
1T danger to the horses and their driv-
ers, the latter are in arms against
excessive speed and are demanding
that law be passed making ten miles
an hour the limit. 1t makes great
difference who it is that takes the dust
and stands a chance of getting run
over or knocked down.

1t is amusing to note how some Mas
sachusetts writers are endeavoring to
explain why Booker Washington's
daughter has been forced to leave We'll
lesley College and to shift the respon-
sibflity upon Southern shoulders. One
writer says: Southern girls, of whom
there are a good many at Wellesley.

her, and these were upheld by many
others. A good many Northern girls.
however, took up Miss Washington,
invited her to all their little sociables,
called on her and were friendly with
her in every way" DO these writers
wish il to be believed that the opin-
ions of the minority. the Southern girls
were 50 strong that they were unan-
swerable and had to prevail? It is
easy enough TO do that.

CONFERENCE POSTPONED
TEXAS REPUBLICAN LEADERS DEFER
THEIR MEETING,
Absence Of Hawley or Some Other Inn
portant Man from Washington
Was the Cause.

washington. November 21.--rhe state
ment in a washington dispatch 20 last
Tuesdays Post that a conference Of certain
republican leaders Of Texas was to be held
here on the 23d inst, unless plans made
within the preceding few days went astray,
seems TO have created quite a stir. those
interested In the matter being very much
averse to the facts in the case being made
known.
National Committeeman Hawley's secro-
tary said today that the conference would
not be held on the date named, but admit
ted that arrangements had been made for
II. The inference Is that the conference
was postponed because Mr.. Hawley or some
other important parsonage could not be here
at the time originally agreed on, and that
IL will be held later. The president VIII
hardly take cognizAnce Of any patronage
matters before the converting congress, but
will Sevote the coming week TO the prepare
ton OF his message and to talks with his
advisers containing various features of the
message. This being the case It would
avail the Texas republican bosses little or
nothing TO attempt to take their troubles
before the president until the opening OF
the short session.
c. X. Mcdowell, who is an applicant FOR
the North Texas marshalship, is still In the
city.
