THE LESSON OF THE RETURNS.

Mr.. Charles +. Hughes is COVER
nor-elect of New York simply be-
cause Tammany Hall would not
have William II. Hearst for that
position. That is all there is of it.
Heretofore it was said of Tammany
that it has no gratitude and no
malice. The malice past of it is a
mistake. 1t seems at least to have
put the knife deep into the vitals
of Mr.. Hearst and turned it around.
1t got revenge on Mcclellan by
nominating Hearst: it got revenge
on Hearst by electing Hughes, and
Greater New York gave one of the
candidates on the Democratic ticket
a majority exceeding IA, 900, and
Tammany could have made Hearst's
majority below the Bronx as much.
1t all shows that honey is better
than vinegar for batting a fly trap.
There is but one lesson in the
returns of this general election, and
it is this: There is discomfort and
distrust everywhere. He is an
optimistic Republican that can be
exultant over the result, and it is a
pessimistic Democrat who is cast
down. The country has said to the
G. o. p, ''Beware;" it has said to
the Democrats party, Here's a
lemon"
There is going to be new deck,
a new shuttle, cut and deal before
long. The Sixtieth Congress will
be watched as Congress never was
watched before, and if it shall cut
any capers and shines there is no
telling what will happen in 1905.
Out of all of it only one thing is
manifest, and that is that the
American people are just begun
the chase of the occopus. They
are terribly in earnest. The Re-
publican pack has the course, and
if they do not fetch results the
Democratic pack will be put on the
trail two years hence. Washing

LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION

The Great International Live

Chicago December 1st to Sth. This
is the greatest show of fat cattle.

together every year in the magnifi-

means visitors are enabled to see

THE GROWTH OF TROUT.

Age Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Sine.
The Salvelinus fontinalls, which Is
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout was supposed for many years TO
be n small fish. Agassiz was largely
instrumental In exploding this fallacy.
1t is not an uncommon thing for an
angler with ordinary luck to get n six
or seven pound trout Of this variety.
1t is known that trout may grow to
weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There
is, however, great difficulty In account
Ing for Its variation In size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
hngerlings have ever been found. In
the immediate vicinity OF such water
three and four pound trout are quite
common, and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
tiers crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout All the fish are pure fly feeders.
AT some places, 1t is true, frogs abound.
but, taken as n whole, the difference In
food supply is not an adequate expla-
nation for the difference In growth.
There is no substantial difference in
the waters as to temperature, size, ORR
gin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken to
virgin lakes in which there are no fish
have sometimes grown to q great size
nave sometimes remained small and
sometimes have not thriven. The an
giers who haunt these waters have not
yet found a satisfactory explanation
or this peculiar condition OF things. It
