The Democratic Mob.

A survey Of the electoral field OF Tues
day discovers the Democratic party in
the historic act Of turning its weapons
upon itself and committing hara-kiri. In
New Jersey victory was actually within
its grasp when a cOnfiding candidate for
Governor was betrayed in the house Of
his friends.
In Massachusetts, the Democratic fac
lions were tearing each other tooth and
nail before election day came, and on the
eve Of a Presidential contest the party
finds its ranks broken and scattered and
the ground heaped with dead and
wounded; but the casualties have been
inflicted by Democrats. Yet a few
months ago the party had a worthy
aus and united and under competent
direction il might have turned h tide
Of Republican victory.
In Nebraska the only Democrat con-
spicuOus enough TO be accounted a leader
repeated his biennial failure after writing
the party platform, organizing victory
and making a personal campaign. This
eminent man lost his own ward and rolled
up a large majority in the state against
his party. As il prefers defeat to success
and professions 20 performance, he is
it's logical commander. In Kentucky,
where he went to inspire the Democratic
host and point the way 10 victory. there
was an utter rout and the Republicans
triumphed magniicently, The Demo-
cratic party had invited defeat by its
transgressions, but that made not a jot
Of difference to the eminent man; more
over, ne is familiar with disaster and
thrives upon it.
Year in and year u the Democracy
proves its title to the distrust of the
people and is the prey and sport OF
demagogues. The crackbrained lead il,
sordid knaves betray il, and 1t struggles
blindly on to failure after failure, Only
when the Democratic party sends its
fanatics and mountebanks to the rear
and restores men of sanity and character
TO command will it be possible to mObi-
lie its discOrdant factions and effect an
organization which will be of Use TO the
country as an opposition party and may
hope some time to deserve the confidence
Of the American people. Intelligent
Republicans a. well as conservative
Democrats deplore its degeneration and

An Tnimpaired Governor.

Except for the message he sent to Com
missioner of Police BINGHAM telling that
official to do his duty on election day.
Governor HUGHES took nc responsibility
on his shoulders in the last campaign.
It's close found him with reputation un-
impaired and presumably with conscience
clear. While it was in progress he was
importuned many times to give advice
and to express opinions. He declined.
OF the message to Mr.. BINGHAM the
worst hat can be said il that il WAS
unnecessary.
By abstaining from Intervention in the
canvass the Governor avoided AT once
the appearance Of dictation and the
danger of discredit. A nice regard for
the duties and obligations Of his office,
70 which his course may be attributed
preserved him from a Tebuke such as
the President received from the voters
of Three Cent TONS town. Had Mr..
HUGHES allowed himself to- be drawn
into recognition of the Hearst-Pars
merger the outcome of the election would
have injured his prestige.
As it is the Governor suffered nothing
in public esteem from the campaign His
alooIness from partisan politics must have
cemented his hold on many independ-
snt voters. He appears, in fact, 20 have
strengthened himself in a year when
most Republican statesmen added little
or nothing TO their regulations.

The T~'nObtrusIVe LUXURY or Man.

No n accuses our women of being
stingier about clothes than their great
grandmOthers were. They buy from
tailors and milliners with a freedom and
spirit which can hardly ever have been
surpassed. A Paris dressmaker limited
the other day that quantity appeals to
them as much a. quality. She attributed
the growing expensiveness of their ward
robes chiefly TO an increase in the size
of them. The individual garments, she
thought, were not cOstlier, II ~ costly as
some their predecessors have INDUCED
in. They will, IL seems, buy a pair Of
cheaper frocks, to be worn on one Occa-
sion each, in preference TO a single one
OF higher value, which they might be
condemned to appear in twice, But let
her dress bills be itemized as they may.
your modern woman need seldom be
ashamed of the totals at least. The
modern man, on the other hand. IL some
times suspected Of stopping to mean
ness and avariCe in this matter compared
with his fOrebears.
1t must be remembered that the rivalry
Of the past is somewhat severeT in the
mans case. Beau BRUMMEL had no
female cOunterparts worth considering
in the perspective OF mixed society. In
deed. the present swelling Of the wOman's
dress bills is part, and not the Least
palpable part, Of a general elevation OF
her sex. In this respect politics have
gone in her favor. The spread Of
democracy has compelled the male to
abate his outward adOrnments and
shrink into an inexpensive uniform; and
il has invited women 10 a freer use of
fallals. A competent authority has re-
Gently observed that acquired elegance"
il fast replacing c~Ongonital beauty as

on this substitution. Popularism must

Mr.. BRYAN as an itinerant orator will be
amazed to hear that G~overnor-elect CRoTH-
Frs of Maryland. who carried his State by
a plurality of $500. did no make a single
speech during the campaign nor circulate
among his fellow citizens. On thed day he
was nominated Judge CRoTHERs came
down with typhoid fever and had to fight
for his life while his claims 10 the Office of
Governor were being presented to the peO-
pie. Nevertheless they preferred him to a
man who was able TO take and keep the
stump and was himself an estimable citizen.
During Judge CRoTHERs's long period Of
immObility and silence Mr.. BRYAN depended
upon his grand specific of talk for election
results and was spellbinding without rest
or recreation. He failed to redeem" Ne
braska and lost his home district by the
ominous number Of thirteen votes.

Progress OF Ann-saIoon sentiment.

Three Westchester towns, including
White Plains, the county sedt, voted
against the saloon on Tuesday. The
same edition Of the newspapers which
contained the news of this result printed
a statement from CHARLES X. JONES,
national chairman Of the Prohibition
party, in which ne said:
THE returns OF Tuesday show a marked climax
90 the series of Prohibition triumphs Of the Lass
ninety days. II those successes arr not misleading
they mean that the prohibition Issue will force ltsrlf
into the national politics OF 1908 by It's own mOmen-
tum and will there AFFORD the Prohibition party the
greatest opportunity OF Its career"
Mr.. JONES may be too optimistic, but
there are facts to encourage him in his
belief. The an~ti-saloon sentiment was
never stronger throughout the country
than il is now. The Southern States.
owing To their peculiar social conditions,
are practically dry In all the States
there 10 q marked tendency toward
