On the Eve of Election.

Aside from the fact that a new Congress
Is to be chosen, tomorrows elections have
few points of keen interest for the country
at large. The New York governorship fight
Is attracting attention because of the
prominent part which David B. Hill is play
Ing In the campaign. 1t is felt that the re-
suit there will perhaps have an important
influence upon the presidential contest two
years hence. Both sides are today claiming
the victory. The prediction polls range
all the way from 10000 for Coler to as
many for Odell, but the non-partisan esti-
mate of the vote is that 1t will be very
much closer than these obviously prejudiced
claims indicate. The New York Herald as
the result of its canvass of the state gives
Governor Odell a plurality of less than
1000.
The Star today publishes in another part
a summary of all the elections to be held
tomorrow, showing the candidates for Con-
gress and the latest recorded votes. This
list will enable readers to judge for them
slves to the outlook as far as possible
at a distance and in the absence of special
knowledge of the local conditions. AS a
supplement to this information The Star
also prints today a number of special dis
patches from correspondents in various
Of all the campaigning to date.
The general judgment seems to be that
the republicans will control the next House
by somewhat reduced majority. The new
apportionment has added an element of I'M
certainty and confused the calculations
of the election statisticians. The dem
ocratic managers have waged sharp
contest from the outset, basing their cam
paign on the antitrust proposition. The
republicans have pointed to President
ROoseyelts attitude toward the beef trust
anu the Northern Securities railroad
merger to offset the democratic claim that
the administration party is the party of
cut a large figure in the campaign well
and these two questions have overshadowed
all others. The opposition to the retention
Of the Philippines has been altogether a
negligible quantity in practically every
congressional district
Election forecasts based upon individual
judgments can never take into account
those mysterious factors which at times,
without warning, create ground-swells of
public sentiment and sweep parties in and
out of office against precedent and proba-
bilfty. If tomorrow holds in store such a
great CONFUSION, giving Congress to the re-
pubHcans by a largely increased majority,
or to the democrats by a decisive margin,
there are today no indications on the sur
face to justify any prophet in confidently
predicting 1t.

A Campaign Prophet.

Give me pencil and paper
And silently stand aside
And watch me figure; from year to year
1t has been my especial pride
To bring out my mathematics
And undertake to show
The why and wherefore and likewise how
The election is going to go.
If this and that were the other,
And x were equal to q,
And the people voted as people should,
What would happen is plain to see.
It's delicate calculation,
And the answer, of course, you know.
Is to wait until the returns are in
And murmur, Il told you So"

From the New York Tribune.
That which has been fancifully called
''Puck's girdle" is at last reality For the
first time line of Geographic communion

The great work has been done with little
fuss or popular attention. There is a strik-
ing contrast between it's quiet, matter of
fact completion, announced to the world in
a few lines of news, and the tumultuous
Quotations which marked the establishment
OF cable communica ton across the Atlantic
ocean. For that the reason Is obvious. We
nave become SO accustomed to submarine
cables that the laying of a new one. even
though 1t be by far the longest in the world.

Extreme Unionism.
From the Philadelphia Record.

One of the queerest outcomes of q labor
war IS the resolution of the musicians of
Paris, who were recently on strike, to de-
cline to play music by composers who had
failed to express their sympathy for the
strikers. To make the boycott complete
trades union auditors should combine to
close their ears to the symphonies, operas
and concertos Of non-uniomst composers,
and the cabmen and shoemakers' appren-
tees of Paris should whistle no tunes not
Endorsed by the musicians league.

~ Noble sOaItcast" was given a
most creditable presentation last ev-

The performance was given at Co

that taxed the seating capacity OF

The play tells a beautiful story of
an outcast whose sins are more of
omission than commission and whose
good heart and honesty eventually
triumph.
The audience was an appreciative
one, bestowing deserved praise IN
the form of enthusiastic applause on
the several players, each of whom
acquitted himself or herself with
great credit. The east was as fol

Terre Haute Gazette: The ques
ton most interesting TO local base
ball fans is whether or not there will
be any changes in the makeup of the
Three-I for 1908. General opinion is
that the teams will remain the same.
although there may be one new city.
The suggestion that the league be
enlarged to 10 clubs does not take fa-
Yorably. and most people in this city
say TO let good enough alone. 1t is
known that Evansville is very desir-
ous of getting into another league If
possible, but the city in the pocket
has not been invited into any other
league and it is doubtful il il will be.
There is little chance of Terre Hnute
changing. Decatur, Rockford, Rock
Island and others are especially anN
ious to help make up the Three-I
league next year and there is little
probability of any of these teams
dropping out. Among the cities said
TO be after Three-I franchises Spring
field, H., is prominent. Dubuque and
Ottumwa already have filed apphCa-
tons with President NJ. IL. Sexton.
