short their sojourn in city in which their lives may not be safe;
 But what are the police doing to allow all this? How comes 1t that, with l5'0OO policemen and a large and admittedly able detective force, Paris has become sort of murierers' headquarters?
 With a larger number of police than London and a much less area to cover Paris exceeds the crime list of London by more than 100 per cent. The police au- thorities will tell you that they are not to blame, that they are continually ma N- ing large organized raids ana capturI9g seventy, eighty or a hundred vagabonds and indicators nightly, put that lhtH work is wasted. AL,
 It Is wasted, they assert, because the Judicial authorities release the very neN : day seventy-hve out of every hundre1 scoundrels and cutthroats they arrest
 There is a sore feeling between the po- lice officials and the judicial autnorltleS' for the latter counteract and render use less the efforts of the former to clear the city of the hoOliganism which now ln- fests it.
 This is how a high police officer ex' plains the matter:
 Ragged Vagabonds Ragged.
 we arrest every suspicious person, but we cannot bring proof against all or them--we leave that 10 the judicial au- thoHties. What happens? The eNamln- ing magistrates make summary exam, nation next morning of the whole crowd of ragged vagabonds bagged the previous night They keep the black sheep, those who have previous convictions against them, and release all the others, all those who have so far undergone no infamous punishment, and who have the necessary legal twopence in their pockets, to prove that they have means of subsistence. ?. others show a certificate to prove that they have been employed at least one or two days in a month; these, too, are allowed to go, though in nine, cases out of ten they are scoundrels who live on the earnings of women"
 The judicial authorities-with degree of solicitude and of humanity which one would hardly have expected of them affirm that many men s0 caught in these police raids are people in temporary dis tress or misery, but who have done no wrong action. or at any rate have com mitted no crime which comes within the arm Of the law.

As it happened, however, ms relatives were opposed to the match. ana had recourse to regulation Whlcn, aI- thought still Tn vogue, Is seldom exer- cised, and which gives the sovereign and War Office power to interfere in the matrimonial affairs of any off1cer Tn royal regiment It is, therefore, crime for any officer thus placed to enter the bonds of matrimony against the wishes of the powers that be, and one punish able with dismissal from the army ana six months Imprisonment; but whether the individual in question was faithful to his vows or not the Wrlter IS uuS- ware. ,,-,-

 At this time of the year especially the

 to see the way they openly brave tae police officials and district magistrates when brought before them.

 The blanks in MT. Foss's platform which bear upon the. .oyershadowing question of present-day politics are these:

 ''Reciprocity with GnAda. our best for eign customer, per capita, and Cuba, our ward. and for such reciprocal treaties with other countries as will build up our home industries and increase our commerce.
 Reciprocity with Cuba rests upon a pe- culiar and distinct set of considerations. 1t is not a question of interest (though national interest would certainly be pro- noted thereby. but a matter of plain duty and national honor. Even the most militant high protectionist ought to rec ognize the exceptional nature of Cuba's demand for free- access to our markets 2
 But reciprocity with Canada is an iu- tegral part of the general case for new and more enlightened trade policy. The Dominion threatens retaliation and bit- terly complains of unfair treatment by our Congress. She Is not the only cus- toner that is dissatisfied and restiVe and any argument for reciprocity with her will apply with equal force to our rela. tions with Continental Europe. This MT, Foss perceives and indirectly recognizes in his first plank. New England wants free hides and leather and free coal and iron, and it is natural for a candidata' from that section to express the wishes of the constituency he seeks to .represent.. The West Is interested in other sched-2 uIes, and may even oppose some of New Elglands demands. ,Ass
 The essential thing. however, Is that MT. Foss's open advocacy of revision seems to have secured for him remark ably support in business and industrial circles Prominent merchants and manu- lecturers, even ex-memhers of the Home Market Club, are earnestly indorsing his platform.

estimated on Tuesday night. Republicans
have carried every office in the county.
Election was absolutely without feature and
despite favorable weather a light vote was
cast. The vote is not more than two-thirds
OF that cast last year. Lack Of competition
for republican candidates is accounted the
cause. So far as can be learned Judge
Conner has carried everything before hin
in his district, his opponent, Kasper Falt-
inson, having been prevented by the ILL
ness Of his wife from making a campaign.

NEW YORK

ALBANY. N. Y. Nov. 5.-Since Roswell
p. Flower. in a democratic landslide, do
feated j. Sloat Fassett for governor, in the
face OF republican claims for an easy vic
tory, there has not been such an overturn-
ing of votes from the republican to the
democratic party in this state as that
which occurred yesterday.
With the exception of Erie, Albany and
Rensselaer, counties, every democratic pre-
dictiono I sweeping majorities was carried
out and ampliied. Especially was this true
below the Bronx. The claims OF 112, 900 for
the Greater New York district were more
than verified, but the claims for Erie, AL
bany and Rensselaer, were not responded to
and the failure to realize democratic hopes
In these counties removed all chance OF
Coler's election.
The figures, both in totals and IN detail,
are extremely interesting. With a registra-
ton 4 per cent below that OF two years
ago, the democratic party in the Greater
New York district showed a gain in voting
power in a majority Of the counties Of over
40 per cent, and this tremendous gain was
met and defeat for the republicans averted
by the also quite remarkable fact that sew
eral of the republican upstate counties
gave odell larger pluralities than in 1900,
while several others equaled their plurali-
ties of that presidential year. Over its com
bined vote in the state two years ago, the
democratic party gained at least 80 per cent
and the republican party lost 40 per cent.
From a plurality OF Ill 900 Odell drops to
below 10, 600, a loss of over 100, 900.
On the face OF the returns early today,
while Judge Werner, the republican candi-
date for Judge OF the court OF appeals, had
run ahead OF his ticket In many OF the coun-
ties up the state, the fact that Judge Gray,
the democratic nominee, ran 5000 ahead OF
his ticket in New York City would seem
to indicate the latter's election. but It may
take the oficial canvass to decide the mat
ter.
In the case OF Mr.. Cowan, the republican
nominee for attorney general, almost the
same condition prevails. 1t not being pos
sible to determine as yet whether the pro-
hibition ballots Upon which the name OF
John Cunneen, the democratic nominee, wac
printed, were SUFFICIENT in number to elect
Cunneen. This also may have to be de-
termined by oficiaI count.
While the democrats have gained three
and possibly four members in the senate
and about fifteen in the assembly, the leg
i~slature is safely republican. insuring tht
election Of a republican to succeed United
States Senator Plat.
