BRYAN AND HEARsT 1N NEW YORK.

The official count of the votes cast at tn,
election for a State ticket in New Yorl
st November shows that Mr. Hughes the Re-
Iblioan nominee. secured a majority Of nearly
5000 over William K. Hearst The remainder
Of the Democratic State ticket was elected by
rom nearly COCO for Chandler the nominee for
'ieutenant-Governor, to 1850 for Jackson the
indicate for Attorney General SO far as coult
c ascertaincd the Independence League brought
the Democratic ticket about 1900 votes IN
he State. This figure was not sufficient to in
the election Of Hearst but it pulled the re.
nainder Of the Democratic ticket through.
A study OF the returns shows that Hearst and
the others the ticket ran close together in the
counties outside OF Greater New York. Hearst,
in some Of the counties, ran ahead of his fellow
candidates, and in others he was trihc behind.
In the rural counties the candidates were very
close together. It was in Greater New York
that the vast difference was shown which result
cd in the defeat OF Hearst and the success OF his
colleagues on the ticket There Hearst ran away
behind and the Hughes vote swccd. The small
showing OF the Independence League perhaps will
surprise those who expected that Hearst. because
Of his propaganda, would have large following
and these figures eliminate Hearst as the founder
OF a new party that would play havoc with the
older ones.
Hearst got his strength because of his in
dorsement by the Democratic party Of New York
Had he run as an independent candidate, il the
vote for the league means anything, he would
have cut a sorry figure. lie might have defeated
the Democratic candidate for Governor Of New
York, but would not have made anything near
the showing that he did as an independent candi-
date for mayor
Judged in every light the Analysed result of
the election in New York State does not damage
the prestige of Colonel Bryan as the Democratic
leader. It does not put Hearst forward as the
candidate who can wrest control of the party
from Bryan. The only Democratic leader in
sight is the Nebraska orator, and he has seri-
ously handicapped himself because of his attitude
regarding the government ownership of rail-
roads.

the high estimate the successful merchants of our

shopping can have no better guide to their wants
than the offerings in our io-day's paper. Look

YOU lots of time at tho stores I'm that way you
can at home choose the things you want and
make a complete list showing the number OF arti-
cles and the total cost. That is the great adj
vantage OF modern advertising. Articles are well
described and prices given SO that they can be or
dered BY phone from home. The newspaper and
telephone arc now great factor with the buyer
and the merchant We believe there is larger

CRACKING THEIR OWN HEADS.

A WAY up in Boston some colored persons
have discovered that the President, Sec
rotary Taft and all the government officials who
agreed Oh the dismissal Of the turbulent negro
soldiers were all wrong. They have passed reso-
lutons denouncing the President for his own
course. In the resolutions it does not appear
upon what basis these colored persons who con-
denim the President, rest their opinions. The af-
fair occurred down in Texas, about as far from
Boston as salvation is from sin. Just how. in
Boston, they could learn that the coored soldiers
were not responsible for the disturbance is past
the comprehension Of any one outside of Boston
Doubtless the government would have been glad
to secure enlightenment upon the subject from
Massachusetts. The President would not have
so bitterly arragned the participants in the Texas
affair as he did had there not been most excellent
reasons for Mr. RooScvelt's firm position Those
who arc objecting and dcnouncng the President
arc really wasting their words. They might as
we'll butt their heads against stone wall as to

ton.

NEW TAXATION METHODS.

"A n LAST City Council is waking up to the
\ necessity of different methods Of taxa
ton a committee Of the Council has been Wis
itine Baltimore and Will journey 10 other cities
TO examine schemes Of taxation there and how
revenue Tor municipal purposes is secured.
The whole question OF taxation will be an up
permost topic at the coming session OF the Cen
crsi Assembly Revenue for the city and State
must be considered and plans for increasing it
devised There is a general feeling that in
crease in the rate OF taxation for real estate in the
city is not desirable. Property owners think they
are now paving about as much as they can stand.
"A high rate would call forth long and loud pro-
tests The City Councilmen, therefore, must dis
cuss the question OF taxation OF the public service
corporations They cannot cvade that issue
without being placed before the community as
subseriem to the interests OF the public service
corporations The latter a monopoly They
charge what rates they please The people arc
compelled to grin and bear their charges, be they
light or excessive. 1t IS generally believed that
these corporations do not have scruples in making
large charges Notwithstanding the failure OF
the fruit crop in Delaware during the last season
and the consequent loss OF freight business, the
Delaware Railroad Company was enabled to in
crease its dividend No one believes Tor mo-
ment that the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany is not pro6tablc investment. On the ac-
tual money invested in the railway properties
the returns must be large. Hardly one consumer
in the city would believe that the gas company is
not earning great deal Of money. Every pub
lie service corporation. from the very nature OF
Its monopolv privileges and franchises is profit
able. Therefore these concerns should pay a
fair proportion Of the taxes. They have failed
TO do 50 because they employ agents and attor-
neys and Influence everywhere for the sole
purpose Of seeing that their own taxes are not
high and that the rothcr fellow bears the bur
den OF taxation. That they have their minds con-
stantly on this point was illustrated by the pro-
posed Board Of Trade charter, which was to place
certain persons in the Board OF Assessment, Re
vision and Appeals for long term Of years,
Once in control Of this most important board tho
corporations could laugh at the efforts OF the
people, who would be squirming under the bur
den of an increased rate on real estate. Happily
that hidden clause in the proposed new charter
was discovered and twas promptly stricken out.
The city officials and the members OF the Cen
eral Assembly Will be compelled to devise means

k serxice corporations is one source 10 which

With all the inventive genius possess

Editor Tho Evening journal.
With the approach Of the Christmas
distribution Of gifts by the police
would like To give them a word Of
warning regarding the many persons
who have in former years attempted to
work a game Of fraud on them and who
VIII no doubt be up to their old tricks
again this year. The police must know
that many children who come to the
City Hall on Christmas morning for
the things they are Swing away are
children OF parents who can wen afford
to buy them toys candy and clothing
themselves. Why they send the little
ones for these gifts is not known IN
less, indeed. they are too stingy 10
spend a dollar or two themselves. How
ever, they should realize that by doing
this they are depriving other children
who are deserving and whose parents
are too poor TO buy them things from
getting what few articles are given
away but which mean so much to them
and help make their Christmas a really
joyous one. The police should exercise
due care in distributing the tickets
given them and see that none but the
very poor children get them.
Respectfully yours,
Citizen.
