A CORRECTION.

One of those unfortunate and unin-
tcntIonal mistakes which will some
times find their way into a newspaper
occurred in the Journal of Thursday
morning. in the heading Of the deci-
sion of the Board of Railroad Commits
sioners in the matter of the railroad
wreck at Pittsfield, Aug. 25, the mis-
take being in the third line of the
heading which read: Engineer and
Rear Brakeman of 81 Blamed for Neg
lIgencc."
The line should have stated that it
was the conductor and not the engineer
of train 81 who was blamed. and in JUS
tice to the latter, who was in no way
blamed for the wreck. and who was not
mentioned in the report of the commls-
sioners. the correction is made.
The text of the report as printed, In
regard to placing the blame, was cor
rect. and was as follows:
I'VE believe that Henry c. Farnham
conductor Of train No. 81, and Raymond
Spear. rear brakeman Of train No. 81
were both negligent. Spear was negli-
gent because he was not at his post OF
duty. Farnham was negligent because
we believe he knew or ought to have
known, that Spear was not at his pos
of duty.
"Brakcman Walter A. Gerry was neg.
Iigent because he did not heed the in
formation given him by Mr.. Condor"

New York Democrats Claim Election Of their En-.
tire Ticket Except for Governor.
NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. S.-With the official
vote of but three counties missing to-
night Lewis Stuyvcsant Chanlcr APP
parently is elected lieutenant governor
on the Democratic Independence
League ticket. by a plurality approx
mately 1900 votes over M. Linn Bruce,
Republican.
While slight changes may be made
in the returns from several counties
it is not believed they will materially
reduce Chanlers lead but on the con-
trary, may increase it.
At Republican headquarters, Chair
man Woodruff was not prepared to
give out any statement, but it was
stated that the official canvass Of the
vote of the city of Greater New York
may show enough changes in favor of
Bruce, to overcome Chambers appar-
ent lead at this time.
1t appears late tonight that all the
other candidates OH the Democratic
state ticket are elected by small, but
safe p!uralities.

New York. Nov. S.-The election of
the entire state Democratic ticket
with the exception of governor is indi-
cacd by returns received up to this af-
ternoDn. The closest contest appears
to be between Louis Stuyvesant Cham

opponent. Returns already in. how

Il plurality of slightly in excess of 3400
1t now seems likely that the remaining
Democratic candidates will have a
wider margin than CHAMBERS.

The Sioux City Journal very kindly
refers to the corn meetings which
are to be held in South DAKOTA, and
it has come to recognize South Da-
kota as a very formidable rival in
the corn production. These corn
meetings are for the purpose of edu-
eating the farmer more particularly
how to select his seed before plant-
ing it, and in this essential there is
much to be learned from the scien-
ti6c standpoint, and there is UNI
deniably science in producing corn.
This has been demonstrated in fields
where a good average has always been
raised to a large increase unde. the

OLD SOLDIERS AND cANrEEN

When the Grand Army of the Re-
public meets at Minneapolis next
week there will De a lively discussion
over the canteen. Congress passed a
law a%bolishing the canteen from all
national soldiers homes, which will
become operative after March next.
The act has aroused many of the
leading old soldiers of the country
to a state Of action AID doubtless
something will be done to to show
that the law is not popular With the
old soldiers. Corporal James
Tanner, the present commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army, is leading
in the agitation to have this law
repealed, and behind him stands p.
III. Coney, of Kansas, who is the
probable successor of General Tan
ner. This act in specifying what
the old soldiers shall or shall not do
concerning their private acts places
them in the light as wards Of the
government, and to the old soldiers
the idea is repugnant. Men who
have reached their age and who
have used stimulants all these years
cannot lay them aside with the same
ease that a man younger in years
could do. 1t is true, doubtless, that
many Of the old soldiers use stimu-
lants to excess. the greater majority
are only moderate drinkers, and
there are many who do not use liquor
at all. IL the canteen at the home
Is abolished it does not do away
with the appetite OF the old soldier
In the least-it only makes him
more desirous Of obtaining what he
wants and encourages the establish
ment Of a grog shop as close as
possible to the home. and then it
is that the moderate drinker will
become worse. Such in general is
the argument used by the supporters
OF the canteen. On the other hand
it is argued that the government
has no right TO maintain an open
saloon, which, under the circum-
stances is open to debatable ground,
more or less.
