SUMMARY OF
ELECTION NEWS.

Interest in the elections of last
Tuesday generally centered on the
New York and Philadelphia contests
and on the state election in Ohio.
In New York, Mcclellan, demo-
crat, wins in hot three-cornered
fight by the smallest plurality on
record for a successful mayoralty
candidate. His plurality over Hearst,
municipal ownership candidate, is
but 3,4S5. Mr.. Hearst's managers
claim evidence of illegal acts against
1000 inspectors of election, and that
10000 of his adherents were turned
back from the polls because their
names had already been voted, Dis
trict Attorney Jerome has announced
he will Immediately make search
ing investigation of the alleged
wholesale frauds, and has ordered
the returns from the 18th and 9Th
assembly districts carefully guarded.
These are the home districts of Tam
many Leader Murphy and Tim Sui
livan.
With two election districts to be
heard from today District Attorney
VIM. IT. Jerome, independent, had a
plurality over James w. Osborne,
democrat, for district attorney of
II ,450 votes. The totals for district
attorney, not including the two dis
tricts missing, were: Jerome lis, 1888;
Osborne l08,l88; Shearn, municipal
ownership, 72,492; Flammer, repub-
lican, 13,348.
All through Ohio the belated re-
turns showed republican losses and
republicans concede Pattison's plu-
rality reaches $4,000 The democrats
claim Pattison's plurality approxi-
mates $1,000, which would elect the
entire democratic ticket. The legis-
lature is democratic.
The city party's (reform) plurality
in Philadelphia is 1888 for sheriff.
The upheaval was the greatest in
Pennsylvania for many years.
The Maryland legislature is demo-
cratic, and Atkinson, democrat, for
comptroller, is elected.
In Rhode Island the republican
gubernatorial candidate has q plu-
rality of 4,342.
In Massachusetts democratic
threats are made of u recount of the
vote for lieutenant governor, Draper,
the republican candidate, having re-
ceived less than 1000 plurality.
Every candidate of the union labor
party in San Francisco was elected
by substantial majorities; in Salt
Lake the anti Mormon victory is
made complete by the election of the
entire American party city ticket.
In Kentucky the legislature which
will elect successor to Senator
Blackburn is heavily democratic.
The democrats elected u mayor in
Louisville by about $500.
Nebraska was swept by the repub-
licans. Returns from other states
and cities show no notable changes.

} qae Street Car Case.

Some interest attaches to the case
of the city against the Palatka and
Heights Street Railway company
now being heard before Judge Wills
in the circuit court, and at special
term called for the purpose.
The City of Palatka has brought
this suit for the purpose of annulling
the franchise of the street railway
company, alleging THAT the company
has not complied with the terms of
its franchise regarding grades and
conditions of track, etc.
During Tuesday and Wednesday
the time of the court was occupied
in hearing argument of council on
points of law with the jury outside.
The introduction of testimony be-
gan on Wednesday afternoon and
was continued throughout the day
yesterday and this morning. There
were many witnesses to examine
both for the city and the street car
company.
In so far as the attorneys in the
case are concerned it is battle of
the giants at the Palatka bar. Hon.
S. ]. Hilburn appears for the city as
city attorney, and Judge Robert w.
Davis of Tampa, for years a lead
er at the Palatka bar, represents the
street railway company. These men
are old time partners and this is the
first time they have ever been array
ed against each other. There have
been some hot tilts.
In the city the case is facetiously
referred to as "the livery stables ver-
sus the street cars" and there does
appear to be some animus. The peo-
pie generally are not taking much
interest in the outcome.
The street railway is shabby con-
cern run on a mule basis. The best
that can be said in its favor is that
it's owner has promised to give bet
ter and modern service, and to give a
cash bond to back up his promise,
just as soon as the city puts its
streets in condition to warrant the
change.
The streets of Palatka are not now,
nor have they ever been in such con-
dition as to warrant maintenance of
track grades. This condition will be
remedied within the next year, after
the completion of the lot connections
to the sewers, and the laying of the
water pipes for the new municipal
company.
The case may be brought to an
end today.

A NEW ARISTOCRACY

Andrew Carnegie, always interest ing to hls fellow-meu as we'll as inter- ested In them, Is developing into a full.hedged philosopher. It bass been some time since he propouuded his gospel of wealth, on the disgrace of dying rich Within the past few months he has disclaimed having had any intention of making that declara- ton as broad as has been attributed to him all along. but he has not issued any denial of his general philan- thropic views along that line. h. stead he has now gone on record fur ther and, as usual. in an interesting manner.
 At Northampton the other day the genial Scott then propouuded his gospel of the new aristocracy. It is that the old standards of judging a man by birth or wealth are passing and that the coming man will be judged by what he knows and what he does for his fellow-man. These are his words:
 "ln the future the question is to be not how man was born, nor how great his wealth. nor even what he knows, but how he serves his fellow man. Here is the true, the final ar istocracy which never can be displaced not what he does for himself, but what he does for others will be the standard by which man is judged.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW

In an address recently delivered in New York city, Governor Folk, of Missouri, said: "The Missouri idea means the enforcement of the law, and If that law is bad, the remedy Is to re- peal, not to ignore it. Disregard for one law breeds disregard for all law. In allowing some laws to go uninforced we reap harvest of having all laws broken. Good men will observe even bad laws, but bad men will break even good laws. It should be that all men, good and bad, be compelled to keep all law, good and bad, becuase it is the law. The patriotism of peace Is just as necessary as the patriotism of war. The patriotism of the ballot is even more necessary in free country than the patriotism of the bullet. Plenty of men will die for their country, but the man who will dle for his city and state every day is the man the government needs. The government never neglects the people unless the people first neg lect the government No government, city. state or national, was never bet. ter than the people made it, nor worse than they suffered it to become. Good citizens make good laws, but no law can make good citizens. States and cities do not consist of mortar and brick and stone, but of tue character of their citizenship"
