NEW YORK PUZZLE.

4 While it is believed that another
week will more clearly indicate the
probabilities in the New York state
election, just at present the Empire
state is holding itself up to the rest
Of the nation as a puzzle picture.
The betting favors Hughes and all
reports Indicate that he has the best
Of the situation. However, at the same
time there is an admission that Tire
Hearst strength is rather an uncertain
quantity, developing noticeably where
it was not looked for. The uncertain
ty of Hearst himself has been one Of
the principal causes of this condition.
His manipulations within the Inde-
pendent league, his falling out with
Pat McCarren of Brooklyn, and the
clouds that have overshadowed his re-
lations with Tammany have all con-
tributed to this condition
AS affairs have shaped themselves
thus far, however, Hearst will proba-
bly, be opposed by all the strength
that McCarren can command in Kings
county and by all the force attached
to Mayor McClellan's administration
of affairs in Greater New York, COM
bined with practically solid front of
the republicans. On the other hand
he will command the support of every
man Leader Murphy of Tammany can
call to the polls, besides large labor
vote that has been inclining his way
for several years. 1t has developed
further that up the state he has
strength that mas scarcely been count
ed on by his opponents as followers
of the publisher.
Hughes has given some attention
to the showing up of Hearst in his true
light. Hearst began by calling the re.
publican candidate a corporation law
yer but this acted only as boom
erang, for 1t seems that Hughes was in
possession of some facts revealed by
investigation tina. was not merely an
insurance investigation. 1t related to
Hearsts own publications. He pro-
duced documents to show that the
y Hearst papers are run by corporations,
and that he had sworn off their taxes
ION the ground that their liabilities
were greater than their assets. The
republican candidate declares that
t4ese corporations were formed for
the purpose of avoiiing liabilities in
libel suits. He asserts also that there
is holding company for the Hearst
companies stock. and that the main
Office of the company is in the Com.
mercial Trust company's building in
Jersey City, the building that houses
such corporations as the Standard Oil
company, the sugar trust, and the beef
trust.
Of course the fact that Hearst has
SO organized is business would not
come in for criticism in this manner,
if it we're not that he simply reserves
to himself the right to do things that
he condemns in all others. 1t is con-
sistent with everything that he has
done In public life in that it is SO flag
'antly inconsistent
This situation, doubtless, will have
effect in the present campaign.
nghes has only begun. In fact,
rdest work of the campaign has
ct been begun

ENGLIsH INSTRUMENTATION.

Misconceptions of America by the
English are common and much has
been in print about them. The latest
comes from an English woman who
had no idea Of America as a play
ground. That may seem peculiar, too,
as so many Americans who visit
Europe are on pleasure trips. But ap-
parently this woman came to America
with the idea, as she indicates others
Of her country hold, that Americans do
not know how to play. She does not
Indicate what she thought they were
doing. but it is probable that she
thought all they did here WAS grab.

SAYS PATRONlzE HOME
INDUSTRY

There are nearly as many cigar
makers employed in Wallace, Ida
no, as in this city, and yet a very
large portion of the cigars made in
Spokane are sold in the Occur
d'Alenes. A local manufacturer
said today that If the people of
Spokane would buy homemade
cigars it would be necessary to en-
large the local factories to several
times their present sizes. In this
way many thousands Of dollars
now expended in the East would be
distributed here. If the public
would profit by the example of the
people of the mining camps of Ida
no the weekly payroll Of the cigar
factories would amount to thous-
ands of dollars per week, he ar
gued.
