Almost every person interested in the coming
contest took weather observations after a day
that promised poorly. Tonight the sky was
overcast and light fog drifted up the harbor
and settled over the river. Weather sharps,
however, predicted with much show of certainty
that the conditions tomorrow would not be
unfavorabIe. The wind was out of the east.

likelihood of a switch around into the north

An election for members of Parli

An election for members of Parlia-
ment was held throughout the do
minion of Canada the 4th instant.
The election was the most important
one that has stirred the Canucks for
years, the result determining wheth-
er transcontinental railway should
be built by the aid of the govern
ment. 1t seems that both the Liber-
az and Conservative parties favored
the building of the projected line
from the Bay of Fundy in Nova
Scotia on the Atlantic to Port Simp-
son on the Pacific coast, but the
Conservatives favored Government
construction, ownership and control
while the Liberals propose to guar
anty the bonds of company for the
construction, building itself only the
western half and that under an
agreement to dispose of it to the
Company either organized or in
contemplation of organization. The
Liberals have large majority in
the Parliament as the result of the
election.

The Democratic leaders are now
conscious of the mistake they made
of making Theodore Roosevelt an
issue, with a frantic attempt at dis
crediting him as man of integrity
and honor. It was worse than folly
to charge Roosevelt with dishonor-
able acts. The injury redounded to
his traducers. Who could doubt the
statements in denial of Judge Park
er's accusations that read the Pres1-
dents frank and forceful letter ?
Most men knew the charges were
not true without Roosevelt's denial
of them. The tremendous majority
given the President voice the peo-
Piles sentiments. We like above all
things frankness and hate hypocrisy.
Roosevelt's life is an open book,
known and read of all men. And
e very man in the United States is
bet ter off in the fact that Theodore
Roo. sevelt is elected President for
four We ars from the fourth of next
March tfaan he would be had he
been defeated.

La Toilette is undoubtedly re-
elected governor, but we cannot tell
at this writing Wednesday, the
size of his plurality, nor have the
figures relating to the vote for as
semblymen and state senators yet
been made public, but we may
be sure that the Republicans
have carried the legislature as it was
not supposed the Legislative ticket
would be scratched by Republicans
to any great extent.
While we were not favorable to the
denomination of La Toilette, believ-
ing that some other man would re-
store harmony to the party if nomi-
mated, we are not among those-f
there are any-who will refuse to be
reconciled to the result of the state
election. 1t is much better than
that we should have a Democratic
administration and we prefer
Rather to bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others we know not off,
The election of Democratic adj
ministration would revolutionize all
officialdom in the state and inaugur-
ate policy that might be very dis
pleasing to Republicans. But the
after effect upon the Republican
party would be the chief thing to
fear. If a sufficient number of Re-
publicans had lent themselves to the
scheme of defeating the Republican
party this fall the party would not
recover from the consequences for
years, and many who had always
worked in harmony with the party
would hereafter affiliate with the
Democratic party. And if Demo-
cratic legislature had been elected
Democrat would undoubtedly be
sent to the United States senate
in place of Senator Quarles, whose
term expires March 4, next, con
tingency which we should very
much deplore.

The statutes passed by the Re-
publican Congress last year to aid in
the enforcement of the antitrust act
have proved effective in a remark
able degree. In separate suits four
teen of the great railroads have been
restrained by injunction from giving
illegal rebates to the favored ship
pers who by means of them were
driving out the small shippers and
monopolizing the grain business of
the country. The beef trust has
been put under injunction. The Of
ficers of the railroads engaged in the
cotton carrying pool, affecting all
that great industry of the South,
were indicted and have abandoned
their combination. The Northern
Securities Company, which under
took by combining in one owner
ship the capital stocks of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern
Railroads to end traffic competition
in the Northwest, has been destroy
ed by a vigorous prosecution ex-

effective conclusion in the Supreme
Court under the Act of Congress

binations in restraint of trade and

We think the SLAUGHTER in t

We think the slaughter in the
Japanese-Russian war is something
awful, and it is, but the losses are by
no means unprecedented. In the
battle of Gettysburg the losses were
$1,000, nearly one-third of all the
troops engaged. In the battle of
the Wilderness Grant alone lost
$4,000 men out of a total of $4,000.
The losses in the battles of the
Shakhe River, while not yet given
out authoritatively, are estimated at
something like 10000 in total of
100000 men. This would be loss
of about one-seventh. 1t is general
ly understood that among these TO-
900 there are few prisoners.

The transactions of the United

compass it mentally if we should

sum by the composition of its units.
