WHAT ALLIED THE RETURNS.

The crippled telegraph service in this
State was responsible for the great
delay in the receipt of election returns.
Not in many years did the returns
come in so slowly from all points.
Usually the result in the State is
definitely known before 2 a. m, u
at daylight today, owing to the imper-
feet communication in all parts Of the
State, which prevented the gathering
of accurate returns from the voting
districts in the various counties, he
result was in doubt on Governor.
Earlier in the night political managers
and correspondents, unable to get
definite returns in their localities, sent
in estimates, and the result was con-
ficting claims at the two State head
quarters. While the figures seemed to
show that Katzenbach had carried the
State by a comfortable majority, re-
vised returns later in the night
changed the complexion of things and
placed the result in doubt. The crippled
state of the telegraph service demon
strated hat the claim by the com
panies that they have all the operators
they need for their business is not true.

THE PASSING OF PAGAN.

The defeat of Mayor Mark M. Pagan
for reelection was not unexpected, ex-
cept perhaps by some of his s~anguine
followers. It is aid of the people of
Athens in the classic days of Greece
that they got tired of hearing their
ruler called good and just, and so they
banished him. Mayor Pagan probably
has the feeling today that he was de-
feated for about the same reason.
And his defeat is most emphatic, the
majority against him being so large
thai il is crushing. Several causes
contributed to this result. In the first
place his Democratic opponent Is a
man with a good public record, is popu-
lar and equal to the responsibilities of
the Mayoralty office. In the second
place the administration of affairs in
Jersey City is not all that might hav
been expected from the three terms of
Mayor Pagan. But probably the most
potent reason was the tutelage of
Mayor Pagan by George l.. Record, the
corporation counsel. who now goes out
of office with his chief. Mr.. Record
was %unpleasantly conspicuous in the
riparian investigation which showed
up some practises that reflected very
seriously upon his honor. Mayor
Pagan made a great mistake in re-
tanning his man as his guide, philoso-
pher and friend, and in the late cam
paign he was numerically caricatured
as a mere Instrument of Records will.
Jersey city Is naturally Democratic
and it has returned to its old mornings.
Mayor Pagan win return to private
life, and it is not probable that he
will reappear in politics again.

John Franklin Fort did not resign
from the Supreme Court in vain. He
has been elected Governor of New
Jersey after one of the closest n
most mixed elections ever held In this
State, n he carried his home county,
which last year rolled up a large Demo-
cratic plurality. The majority that
Judge Fort secured over his Demo-
ratio opponent is not large, but it was
an achievement to evolve any kind of
a majority out of the turmoil of
politics in New Jersey this year.
Coming fresh from the bench, on
which he had served for many years.
aloof from politics and State affairs,
Judge Fort could not be held personally
responsible for causes that had dimin-
ished Republican prestige in the State
n threatened Republican control, and
his election is due to hat fact. The
assurances he gave during the cam
paign as to his course If elected Gov
ernor were such also as to retain for
him a party vote which a seemed to
be alienated this year.
Governor-elect Fort la before him
exceptional opportunities to do credit
to himself and perform higher services
for the State and its people. He has
said that he is under nc personal OBJ
legations and will recognize none, and
that is the only spirit with which a
man should assume the duties of Gov
ernor. The Legislature makes the laws.
but the Governor has the constitutional
to advise the Legislature as well
see h the laws are executed, and
able, alert and well-informed
executive can do much for good legis-
lation without infringing in the least
the legislative prerogative.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Where did the gypsies originally come
from? READER.
tGypsies first appeared in Europe about
six hundred years ago. They are supposed
to have come from Egypt. and were called
Egyptians, from which fact comes their
mare. It has, however, been proved con
elusively from their peculiar language that
they actually came from Northern India
They first appeared in Turkey and Greece,
later finding their way into the Balkan
States and Hungary. From these Inter
they spread throughout Europe.
Small and dark, noaladfc in their habi.5,
and many of them 'prettily t~heftuous,"
to quote Robert louis Stevenson. they
never amalgamated with the people among
they dwell Though there are many
gypsles in England, the United States and
other nations, it is In Roumania. Hungary
and Russia that they are chiefly found,
their numbers in that part of Europe he
ing placed at 5000 The French call
them "Bohemians.' from which fact ac-
cording to some authorities. comes the
use of that word 20 describe the care

WHAT BIRD DESTRUCTION COSTS.

Professor William butcher, of the
National Audubon Society, makes the
deliberate statement that in the de-
struction of bird life the United States
is losing annually a sum of value
larger than the capitalization of all
the national banks in the country. He
puts the loss of agricultural crops by
insects at $500, 900, 900, which is due to
the rapid decrease in the number of
insectivorous birds in the country.
And probably there is no exaggera-
ton III these figures. What amazes
Mr.. butcher is that the American pub
lie placidly allows this without protest.
But the truth is that the American
people do not realize it and have no
conception of the injury that is done
and the great loss that is sustained.
We can see in our own State this
singular indifference. For years the
State has maintained a fish and
game commission at the expense OF
between $50, 900 and $4,000 annually. 1t
can be said truly of this commission
that instead of protecting fish and
game it has been the great agent fol-
their destruction. It has stood in the
way of proper protective laws. as Pro-
fessor butcher knows by experience,
and 1t converted it's official duty into
opportunities for graft and favoritism.
The wardenships under the commission
have been made political sinecures. and
where arrests were made for violations
of the crude game laws of the State, in
the great majority of cases, it has been
of gunners leaving the state after they
had killed the game.
The State maintains a State entomol-
ogist, whose study is to discover the
mean of destroying insects, but every
year there is a loss to farmers and
gardeners of millions of dollars in Their
crops.-- If we had better game law
and an efficient game protection we
would have more birds and fewer in
sects, and the State would be a gamer
in wealth by just about what it now
loses by insect destructiveness.

NOW FOR A DOCK SYSTEM.

The voters of Newark have ac-
cepted the proposition for a municipal
dock system, despite the sudden and
unexplained opposition that arose just
before the election. Undoubtedly If

an overwhelming majority. But the
policy of the city is fixed by yester-
days referendum, and 1t will be car
ried out, to the great advantage Of

BOARD OF WORKS UNCHANGED.

The Board of Works remains Repub-
lican. Commissioner Eggers having
weathered the local storm and reached
port with all sails intact. The board,
with its large patronage, will be Re-
publican for at least a year, when an
other election will imperil the majority.
It was the personality of the candidate
and not the rectitude or popularity of
the board that prevented the board
from being carried away in the Demo-
cratic tide that deluged the city.
There will be no change in the COM
position of the Board of Works mex
e The result of the election annot
be interpreted as an Endorsement of it's
acts. and the majority should make due
note of that fact. A repetition of some
of the things done or attempted to be
done in the recent past will be remem-
bered when another election day comes
around.

1t is up to the next Legislature to consider seriously
whether n not Sheriff Kaiser, of Hudson county, has laid him
self open to impeachment The admissions made as to the Sc
lectons of Grand Jurors constitute one ground. Another is to
be found in his provocation to. breaches of the peace at the
primary election and again at yesterdays election. The Sheriff
supposed to be the chief peace officer of the county. Kaiser,
as Sheriff of Hudson county, has been anything but that. He
has used the power of his Office in the most high-handed and
outrageous manner, and it is high time to ascertain whether he
can continue to do SO with impunity.
In considering this case partsanship should not be allowed
to enter. Surely honest Republicans can have no sympathy
with his conduct and decent Democrats can hardly afford to
commit themselves to approval of the unhoy alliance by which
he helped to encompass the defeat of a Republican Mayor whose
only Grim was hdehty to his oath of Office. J. M.

Never Had the Empire Seemed More As

The last flicker of the candle. the
last flame of the dying fire. is ever the
brightest, and so, writes Lady Ran
dolph Churchill in her "reminiscences
in The Century. it was with Paris in
1869.
Never had the empire seemed more
assured, the court more brilliant, the
fetes more gorgeous. The l~ight-hearted
Parisians reveled in the daily sights
of royal professions and ~cavalcades.
The Bots de Boulogne and the Champs
Elysees, where we were living at hat
time, were crowded with splendid equi-
pages. / remember often seeing the
Empress Eugene. then the handsomest
m in Europe, driving in her dau-
mont, the green and gold liveries of
the positions and outriders making a
brave show. Nor were four horses and
Positions the privilege of royalty
alone. Princess M~etternich, the wife
of the Austrian ambassador, often
went out in similar style. The beauti-
full Madame de Canisy, the Duchess de
Mouchy, the empress's greatest and
perhaps only intimate friend, and a
hest of our ladies habitually drove
out in great state. and helped by the
magnifccnce of their appearance to
give to Paris that air of elegance and
distinction which could neither be sur
passed nor emulated by any other cap
ital in Europe. Even among those who
had forebodings of the gathering
storm. 70 n had deserted the black
shadow cast on the blue sky by the
approaching figure of Bellona, her
fierce eyes fixed on happy. smiling,

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
What is the "circumpolar starr"
]. z. D.
IA circumpolar star is one which In the
apparent daily revolution of the sky does
not pass below the horizon of the observer;
or, in familiar language, does not set. 1t
will be remembered that the apparent daily
motion of the stars is in reality the result
of the actual rotation of the earth upon
an axis which passes through the centre
Of the earth and a point in the sky, near
the north or polar star, and that the lines
in which the stars seem to move,
called lines of diurnal motion, are the cir
conferences Of circles perpendicular to
This axis. If an observer is at the equator,
the axis lies Ia the observers horizon, the
circles Of diurnal motion arc all perpendicu-
lar to the horizon, and all stars seem to
rise and set. If the observer is at a dis
Htance from the equator, for example In lati-
tude 10 degrees north, the northern end
Of the celestial nxis is raised 10 degrees
above the horizon and any star which iSv
within 10 degrees of the north pole of the
sky, will not pass below the horizon in its
apparent motion about the pole. The larg-
est circle of the Fky that may be drawn
about the pole without passing below the
horizon Of the observer is called the CIRCLE
of perpetual apparition. A similar circle
drawn about the opposite pole. without
coming above the horizon, is called the
circle of perpetual oecultation, and the stars
within that circle are aeyer visible TO the
observer. What to an observer at a given
latitude In the northern hemisphere Is a
circle Of perpetual apnariticn, will TO an
observer in the southern hemisphere at any
point equally removed from the equator be
a circle of perpetual occultation; and vice
versa, what to the former is a circle Of
perpetual occultation VIII to the latter be a
circle Of perpetual apparition, The stars
within it being southern ~circunpoIar stars.

Judge Fort is a lucky man, and no one can hold him re-
sponsibe for the unholy alliance in Hudson County. With a
normal Democratic plurality from that county the Judge would
today be saluing Mr.. Katzenbach as the successful candidate.
But the Judge has not in this matter anything to reproach hin
self with. So far as lay within his power he stood publicly
and manfully for Mayor Pagan and against any deal, SO that
his hands ar clean. It is we'll to have it so, because Jersey
men, regardless of partisan affiliations, would not tolerate the
idea of any man STOPPING TO connivahce with such methods in
order to reach the Governorship.

Mayor Pagan made a heroic but unavaiing fight for re-
election in Jersey City. Against him were arrayed all the evil
influences in that municipality. Grafters, professional politicians,
corporation agents and all the vultures of society were out to
do him, and they left no stone unturned in doing it. Money
galore was at their call and they used it.
There is some reason for consolation, however, in the fact
that the man elected to succeed Mayor Pagan is a clean, indie
pendent young man of ability. If he will be az faithful to the
interests of the public as his predecessor, he will have no
reason for self-condemnaton when the time comes for his re-
tirement.

HlNDsIoHT REMARKS ON YESTERDAYS ELECTION

Judge Fort has been elected Governor of New Jersey BY the
ueachery of Bob" Davis and his machine to Katzenbach'
There III widespread evidences of this. Everything, and especial
1y Katzenbach, was sacrificed to elect Witpenn and capture the
municipal government of Jersey City. The deal between Dickin-
son and Davis stands out boldly and badly in the irrefutable
election figures. There is no other Interpretation or meaning to
be read into them or from them. And testimony is accumula-

it knew in advance just how many votes would be involved in
