Charleston, s. C.-The election
held in South Carolina was without
incident and a very small vote was
polled. For Governor, M. F. Ansel,
Democrat, and the entire State ticket
was elected, the only opposition be-
ing j.. L. Chandler, who received half
a hundred Socialist votes. Seven
Democratic Republicans were elected,
five without opposition, the Republi-
a nominee in the Fourth and Sew
enth districts getting only a handful
of votes.

ILLINOIS.

Chicago.-Illinois is Republican
by about $4,000. Cook County, in
which is Chicago, gave a Republican
majority Of about 10000. Speaker
Cannon was reelected to Congress
in the Danville, Ill.,, district by a plu-
rality Of 5000. The Legislature is
Republican, insuring the return of
Senator Cullom. The Hearst Naders
concede the defeat of their local
league, but express great satisfaction
over having accomplished the down
fall Of the Democratic ticket, partic-
ularly Gibbons for Sheriff.

by reduced majorfties. The Legislat-
ure remains Republican on joint bal
lot. Hudson and Essex counties
went Democratic. Newark elected a
Democratic Mayor. Eleven Democra-
tic Assemblymen were elected in Els
sex County. AS this issUnited States
Senator John F. Dryden's home coun-
ty, the result may prevent his re-
election, although a Republican is
sure to be chosen as his successor.
In the Congressional election the Re-
publicans carried six districts and the
Democrats four. This is q gain of
three for the Democrats over the last
Congressional delegation, which Was
made up Of nine Republicans and n
Democrat. In the Eighth District Le
Gage Pratt (Dem.) defeated Henry
J. Gottlob (Rep.), and in the Ninth
District Eugene w. Leake (Dem.)
won Ove Charles E. Pickett (Rep.).

Austin, Texas. - notwithstanding
excellent weather, the total vote cast
in the election was small, compare

600 votes, -all told, $4,000 of which
represent the combined vote OF the
Republican, the Reorganized Repub-
lican. Socialist, the Socialist-Labor
and the Prohibition parties. The next
Legislature will be Democratic over
whelmingly, there being only a slight
chance OF the Republicans TO get one

these figures. The election of the en-
tire Republican State ticket, headed
by Sims for Secretary of State, is
conceded. Marion County went Re-
publican by 5000, the Democrats
clecting one county candidate and
possibly two. The Legislature will

Lincoln, Neb.-Indications are that
George l.. Sheldon, Republican NOM
inee for Governor, has been elected
by a plurality slightly in excess of the
1000 returned for Governor Mickey
two years ago. The rest Of the Re-
publican State ticket is probably
elected. The returns indicate Repub-
lican gains in the country districts
and Democratic gains in the towns.

San Francisco.-Reports from an.
leading counties Of California show
that Gillett (Rep.) ia elected Cow
e-nor by at least $4,000 plurality.
These figures may be increased when
full returns come in from Southern
California, where the Republican vote

dependent League) polling nearly a
large q vote as Bell or Gillett.

a cut in their majority. The Demo-
Gratis gained n in Maryland, two in
Illinois and one in New Jersey.
John Dalzell is reelected in the
Pittsburg district after q hard fight.
He has normally q large majority,
but his opponent was popular with
organized labor and made a strong
run.

duce Speaker CannOn's normal ma
jority in the Danville district OF Illi-
nois.
John J.. Gardner, of New Jersey,
who was also opposed by MI. Comp
ers, was elected by 5000 majority.
Representative L~ongworth, the
! Presidents ~son-in-law, was another
man marked by Gompers. The pro-
tests Of Cincinnati workingmen forced
him to relinquish his designs against
Longwcrth, who is reelected. The
Presidents daughter attended her
husbands meetings, and was a figure
in his campaign.
Robert Baker is defeated in Brook
Ign on the anti-pass issue. Morris
Hiiquitt, the Socialist, did mot sue
coed in breaking into Goldfogle's dis
trict in New York City.

the Republican Congressional Com
mittee. Attempts have been made
many times to defeat Babceck, but
they have always failed. The La
Toilette men are opposed to him. and

indicate that a landslide has over"
taken the head of the Republican
ticket in the north and central por.
lions of the State. Ada County has
gone against Governor Gooding by a
few hundred votes. It seems quite
certain that Gooding will be defeated
unless he makes up his losses in the
Mormon counties. The remainder Of

then, nv the experience of two years.
The facts show that while Cuba
exports to the United States have in
creased by Sc per cent, our exports to
Cuba have increased by 80 per cent.
AN of our leading industries have shar-
ed in the increase, but most notably
steel, flour, boots and shoes, lumber,
cotton cloth and rice. Our total eX-
ports have risen in value from $23,0OO.-
600 to 100000 steel and iron from
$4,000. 900 to 100000; boots and shoes
have doubled in quantity; flour in
creased rs per cent; cotton cloth 400
per cent: lumber doubled, while the
planter of the south has found new
market for his rice. The exports OF
this staple to Cuba which in 1903
amounted to SIS, grew in value In 1905
to $S45,OOO.
The reciprocity treaty has so con-
founded the dismal prophecies of the
..standpatters" of 1908 that it is mar
velous that the "standpatters' of 1906
can have the monumental audacity to
smother in committee the Philippine
tariff bill of this year. By excluding
as unworthy of consideration the ele-
ment of good will in trade the stand
patter'' is in his own light politically,
but more unfortunately also in the
light of the county commercially.

THRILLING WITH NIAGARA.

One of the Niagara Falls power pro-
moters has explained to a cOngression-
al committee how it will be possible
to eat our cake and have it, too. He
has a scheme whereby the falls can
be robbed of another vast share of their
volume, and still be preserved as
beautiful spectacle.
The scheme is so simple it is a Won
der no one has thought of it before
The Canadian fall is getting about
three ourths of the water, while under
the treaty the American fall is en-
titled to half. This benefactor of hu-
mainly would merely dig the channel
on the American side deeper and di-
vert part Of the water from the Cana
dian fall. to make up for the water
they propose to turn underground for
their industrial schemes. 1t is SIM
pie, indeed and could be carried on
indefinitely. Whenever another Ameri-
can company wanted water 1t could cut
the channel deeper. If the American
interests got too greedy, the Canadians
could do little digging on their side
and restore the equilibrium, till the
water left to go over the falls would
all disappear like the cheese which the
monkey divided
No sane consideration for the welfare
of Americas greatest spectacle will
tolerate such propositions. Niagara
should not be robbed of another drop
of water, either on the American or
the Canadian side. The channel above
should not be disturbed, for the rapids
are part of Niagara's grandeur.
1t is time to call a halt on the whole
disgraceful proceeding. The spirit of
Niagara, grand and terrible, broods
| over it's wrongs. Some day, if the
| havoc goes on, it will rebuke the pre-
sumption of the money-mad mortals
who profane it's beauties and trif1e with
| it's terrors.

REFORMED SPELLING.

Reformed spelling gets some ribald
knocks every time it is mentioned,
very often from persons who spell the
worst and who are the least hopeful
of mastering the subject for them
selves. Yet even the people who re-
gard the present spelling of English
with veneration and regard all efforts
to change it as fraught with peril to
our institutions ought to be treasured
by the program of the reformed SPELL
ing league. 1t is very mild. The re-
cent circular of the league gives a list
of words spelled two or more ways
and urges the adoption of a uniform
method. 1t suggests that in all words
in which "ae" is used such as anaes-
thetic. that the "a be dropped 1t
recommends that "dge" be simplified
to Dig" as in judgment. Opponents
of reformed spelling have no objection
to judgment because it has arrived. but
they will probably resist the coming
of Judgment and acknowledgment. 1t
asks people to spell such words as pre-
tence and defense with the "nse' ter
mination; not very radical demand
Program" has come and come to stay
Fantasy is in all the dictionaries. why
not fantom? Similar is good English
but sithe will have to cut much grass
before it succeeds scythe. Scythe and
psyche are much prettier words than
sithe and sike, and something must be
conceded sometimes to the sense OF
beauty.
