THE ELECTION
The Republicans Carried Every
Doubtful State.

The Lewiston Tribune says The re-
publican national ticket has been elected
by vote in the electoral college that
will exceed that of 292 given for McKin-
ley in 1900. The result of today's ballot
ing was astounding even to the most
sanguine of the republican managers.
Confident as they were of success, they
were not prepared for the astounding
figures which followed the closing of
the polls bringing into the republican
column not only all of those states
they had claimed as sure for their
candidates, but, with the possible ex-
ception of Maryland, every state class
ed as doubtful.
The democratic states are confined to
the solid south, in which Kentucky is
included, and Mr.. Parker has not car
ried single state which did not give its
vote to Mr. Bryan four years ago.
Unofficial returns indicate that he has
lost some of those which the Nebraska
candidate held for his party. Official
figures from some of the northwest
states may slightly change the totals,
but based on the returns available at a
late hour tonight the electoral vote

Mr.. Editor, you are missing all the
fun by absenting yourself from the pic
mics. Last Thursday at Friendship
church, near Ashton, was rouser.
Mr.. w. K. Thomson, Master of the
State Grange, was the first speaker.
He spoke on Cooperation and Organi-
zation, and while he was putting in
some very convincing argument sew
eral youngsters sitting on table sud-
denly broke it down, making them
scramble about like jumping jacks and
the girls raised a big laugh which for a
moment disconnected the speaker, but
he soon recovered himself and made a
capital speech urging the young folks
TO join the Grange.
Mr.. Robbins spoke next. also advo-
eating the Grange as society for the
farmer, it brought him in contact with
his fellow farmers, and the touch could
be of mutual benefit, and great deal
can be derived therefr0m.
The next and last speaker was the
eloquent and instructive Hon. Eli
Smith. He spoke of Economy and Or.
ganization, urging the farmers to Or
ganize, hold their produce and be more
independent. His arraignment Of
trusts was great. He showed where
the trusts squeezed the very life out Of
the farmer. His speech reminded me
of the forceful blows I have been
reading in THE TINES for the past sew
eral years. 1t was certainly g very
pleasant occasion: everybody seemed te

It is now going the rounds OF
the press that Thomas Taggert
chairman of the National com.
mittee is interested in several
gambling saloons, and that his
associates in his home city are
of the sporting element. If this
be true, the party may have Sc
cured the services of a shrewd
dealer, but the masses do not
put confidence in professional
Shutters. If Tom Taggert is a
professional gambler and runs
with the saloon and fast ele-
ment, he will drive away more
votes from the Democratic party
than he will be able to manipu-
late away from the Republicans.
It is a pity German could not be
induced to accept the chairman
ship.

to Judge Of his sincerity, and we
say in all candor that the com
ing session of the General AS
sembly will determine whether
or not we will have continuance
of the dispensary system. In
all political campaigns there IS
more or less of clap-trap to
catch votes, candidates will sing
songs to please the voters ear,
but we are an intelligent people,
and can Judge for ourselves,
whether the views or the pro-
LESSONS of candidates meet with
our approval, and no man of in
telligence should permit his vote
to be cast as a compliment to
any mans popularity
Every posted voter must know
Notwithstanding the silence upon
the subject, thatthere is a strong
under current which has for its
object the retention OF the de-
struction of the dispensary sys-
ten. To destroy it means a cut
ting off of funds from the
schools and from pensions, with a
sure result Of increasing taxa
ton. The question with the
voters should be, not whether
they like a candidates personal
ity, but does that man represent
their views: Then again Are
those who believe that the dispen-
sary system gives better results
than prohibition willing to risk
the system in the hands of men
who have advocated prohibition
as a religious principle9 Are
they ready to endorse a candi-
date whose public and private
declarations in the recent past
have been antagonistic to the
system of their choice. even if
he does, now that he wants polit-
lcal preterment, enueaEof 10
compromise or by remaining
silent on the subject, or by di-
verting the mind to other sub:
jects which are not matters OF
dispute, trying to make votes.
We venture to say, every
candidate for the legislature
favors the fostering of our
free public schools, the pension
ing of confederate veterans, and
to lower taxation, we need have
no fear on this score from any
of them, it is the revolutionizing
of the dispensary which needs
our serious attention.
We are not opposed to prohi.
bition as a principle, the princi-
pie is a righteous one, none can
gain-say it, but in our opinion it
is impractical, and cannot be
successfully put into execution,
therefore we choose between
what we regard q theory that
cannot bring about a betterment
of our condition, and one that is
proving itself a practical system
of managing an evil.

The Democratic and Republi-
can parties are both embarrassed
this year, neither being anxious
to tackle the trusts, as both de-
sire all of the financial support
they can get. To antagonize the
monied interests would be a
dangerous policy, hence both
parties will step lightly on the
Trust question.

A FRIEND IN NEED.

W1UQlH CuS pdSG WSSh We WIZ
messed an act of kindness which
impressed US with the idea that
this world is not bereft of the
milk of human kindness, and
there are still some who do not
live for themselves alone; were
it not that we know his aversion
to publicity we would be glad to
make known what this generous
man did for a fellowman in dis
treSS.
We will briefly relate the story
without mentioning names. A
young merchant enmeshed in
the net of adversely, after nu-
merous efforts to extricate him
self finds the struggle hopeless;
appeal is made to supposed
friends but they are either help
less to rescue him or will not.
The fellow is going on down to
financial destruction and no one
offering to succor-no friendly
hand outstretched to save him,
but there are plenty who were
ready to make his agony greater
by poisoning the minds of
those who expressed a word of
sympathy. The outlook. for this
young merchant was gloomy, his
entire labor for a number of
years was about to be lost. and
nothing in store for him but a
load of helpless debt. The crash
came, his goods were sold under
the auctioneer's hammer and re-
sold to another merchant. Dis
couraged and frlendless he was
to face the frowning world; de-
spair was written in deep fur
roughs upon his face, but like a
drowning man clutching at bub-
bles only to see them vanish,
this young man kept up the bat
tie heroically He would turn
from one to another to rescue
him without avail; alas, mans
inhumanity to man," the tongue
of charity was silenced by the
poisonous fangs of gossip. The
clouds of despair hovered over
this struggling creature, a fam
lily to support with every prop
removed shuddering thought,
but from the darkness of this
gloom appeared a rift, at first it
it was only slight hope, then it
became a prospect, and finally a
rescuing hand was placed upon
his shoulder with an offer to
save. Did this promise come
from a parent? No. A brother:
No. But it came from a man
whose deeds Of charity are a
fixed record, a monument to his
character more lasting than
stone. This man went to the
merchant who bought the goods
and told him his purpose; the
merchant, although being aware
OF a handsome profit he would
make in his purchase, readily
yielded that the noble motive
would not be obstructed, and the
young merchant have q chance
to be helped upon his feet again.
This is what we regard a prac-
tical demonstration of the mean
ing of the brotherhood Of man.
If we are to isolate ourselves and
turn deaf ear to the cry Of dis
tress, heathendom would be a
better dwellingplace. If we are
to crush an unfortunate fellow
being or damn him because he
has erred, OF HE him away from
amongst US as if he were leper,
instead of aiding and giving hlm
encouragement to a better life,
then what use is there for the
collection plate in churches, and
why further make mockery OF
religion?
