COT A PROPHET.

ColaneI Watterson confesses with some sad
ness that he is not prophet. confession Is
healing and helps TO restore ones mental anu
spiritual equilibrium. The girted editor OF Inc
Louisville Courier Journal certainly had PAD
attack of distorted vision. We hope that he
did not impoverish those of his readers WlIh
hot Kentucky sporting blood who took his pre-
dictions seriously. The coonels prophetic out
put was gorgeously hyperboitc. This was one
of his many masterpieces:
It Is all over but the shouting. They may
pour out the Taft-Sinton millions they may pile
up the tainted Trust dollars, they may repeat
the yillanies of 1896 of 1900 and of 1904-see
elsewhere for the latter in this issue of The
Courier -Journar'-but it will avail them not
The chink Of gold cannot deaden the sound OF
the death rattle in their throat; all the oonnres
from He'll TO Breakfast cannot give rosy nush
to the death pallor that shines upon their cheek;
like Belshazzar of old. they read the writing on
the wall. caught and Gagged, and they eXclalIn
Woe woe is me- my sin has found me out at
last" and then Belshazzar cries from the bot
tOmless Dit: You bet it has just as mine found
me out: misery loves company; both of us were
weighed in the balance and found wanting: you
are mighty late about it. but come along down
here and bring old High Tariff and old High
Finance along with YOU Satan and all OF us are
preparing for g regular bear dance when you
get here"
Yet the star-eyed goddess of prophecy went
back on the Colonel. He had all the contortions
of the sbyl, but none of her inspiration. He
admits that ne has gone stale as q IorecaSuer-
With due mOdesty he now says:
As the late John Oakburst, though not yet
fftv wears of age declared himself to be getting
too old to hold cards" 1t may be that I am either
too oId or too old fashioned tc forecast results
l had certainly great confidence in the election
of the Democratic ticket.
1t is a matter Of regret that he seeks to ex-
plain his failure by declaring that he over
sized the spiritual and undersized the material
''in the hearts and minds of the people" His
despairing conclusion from q study Of the re
turns is 1T is only money now that talks.
Yet if anything is clear from the results Of the
election it is that reason and independence Of
Judgment are becoming more and more potent
in politics The will of the great majority OF
the people was never more deliberately, soberIy
and intclligently expressed than 1t was IN the
choice of William II. Taft for the Presidency.
North, South East and West there Is solid sat
isfaction over the decision given at the polls.
The mourners are few and their lamentations
do not excite public sympathy. Colonel Waiter
son should cheer up. The better candidate and
the more efficient party won last Tuesday. He
should not be depressed by his misgiyings The
chances are that they have no more substantial
ity than had his expert and favorite prediction
prophecies.
New-York tribune., 1908-11-08
BARYL1ND'g SPLIT VOTE.

Maryland will again split its electoral vote,
casting two ballots for Taft and six for Bryan.
The curious thing about the result is that the
majority party in the state gets only one-quar-
ter of the electoral vote just in 1904 1t got
only one-eighth. Except in those two instances
no state has split its vote that the losers
have been credited with a substantial victory.
AS rule splits have resulted from the leading
elector on the defeated ticket getting small
plurality over the elector the winning ticket
polling the smallest vote. In 1892 four states
chose mixed electoral colleges. California
named / Harrison and Cleveland electors,
Oregon / Weaver and Harrison electors, Ohio
i Cleveland and q Harrison electors and North
Dakota 1 Harrison, l Cleveland and l Weaver
electcr California has three times divided its
vote for President In 1880 II gave Garfield
i eaectpr and Hancock 5. In 1895 ii gave Bryan
] and Mckinley & In 1895 Kentucky gave
Bryan 1 vote and Mckinley u. But in all these
cases except North Dakota'S In 1892, the minor
ity party got an accidental minority representa-
tion- Twice IN Maryland II has got the major
share Of the electors
These defeats of the principle OF majority rule
ere due 10 Maryland's exceptional ballot laws.
They put premium on uncertainty and error,
and are drawn with the purpose Of confusing
instead Of helping the voter. Worst Of all they

THE CUBAN CAMPAIGN.

The death of Estrada Palma tinges with
certain shade Of melancholy the closing days Of
the Cuban electoral campaign. Perhaps it will
further ameliorate partisan passions, though,
indeed, these have not been and are not for
mIdable If 1t shall incline the thoughts OF
serious minded and patriotic Cubans toward the
incidents of that good mans administration and
its deplorable ending. and shall move them to
guard against a repetition Of the wretched
fact!onism and sordid self f-seeking which
brought disaster TO the republic, 1t will make
his posthumOus service TO his country tit
pendant TO that which he performed in life
The Cuban campaign approaches its culmina-
ton indeed, in hopeful manner, and the at
titude Of the American government toward 1t
remains irreprOachable. We dismissed at their
worth some time ago the crazy malicious
yarns about the intention Of the Washington
government to insure the election Of a certain
candidate in Cuba. The same inventive genius
who sent them out pleasantly combined with
them other flights of fancy about an immediate
war between America and Japan, about hourly
communication between the Pacific feet-then in
md-seas-and Washington, and an impending
tremendous panic in the United States, AS
matter Of fact, the only American influence
which has been exerted in the campaign has
been that of Governor Mag0On, acting on his
own judciouS initiative, toward the impartial
holding in check OF party passions ana tne cul-
tivation Of a spirit Of courteous moderation and
patriotic acquiescence in the popular verdict.
The result has been the prevalence Of a most
admirable spirit at all the public meetings and
other demonstrations. Only short time before
his death Estrada Palma called upon in
the most friendly fashion by the Liberal can
didates Messrs. Gomez and Zayas and he
ceived them with all possible cordiality-an In
cident the parallel of which would scarcely be
looked for In the United States
There is reason for pretty confident expecta-
ton, then, that next Saturday will see a peace
full orderly and thoughtful election in Cuba
which will give free expression to the sent-
ments Of the people of the island. AS between
the two candidates, Americans have little cause
for preference. Either Of them would probably
make an excellent President and would main
tain proper relations with the United States.
The supremely important thing Is to have the
successful candidate Loyalty accepted by all
parties Of the people, as we believe he viii be,
and also TO have Cuban Congress which will
not betray the nation its predecessor did, but
will promptly and honestly fulfil its constitu-
tonal duties and cooperate with the Executive
in making Cuban selfgOvernment successful.
New-York tribune., 1908-11-08

This year the same handicsps have caused the
defeat of six of the eight Republican candi-
dates. The highest vote poed was that TOT
John A Robinson, Republican. His total was
116514 The largest Democratic total was
115914, showing a Republican plurality or eoo
But the rest of the Republican candidates again
ran behind the leader on the ticket, the great
est discrepancy being 1876. On the DemocAuc
ticket the greatest discrepancy was Z'ooz' So
that the second highest Republican barely sue
ceeded in beating the seventh highest Demo
crat No one would complain If the Maryland
laws gave a square deal TO both parties ana
did not penalize Republican voters AS 1t is
the capture of those six electoral votes Tor
Bryan represents political petty larceny.
New-York tribune., 1908-11-08
ATERTING COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS.

The fatal accident in a coal mine near Ben
ton, H., revives the question OF the preventa-
biity of such disasters and draws attention TO
the recent report of President ROosevelts spe
cial commission on the subject. Such terrific
violence attended the explosion which was the
primary cause of the miners death that car
and pieces of railway track were thrown up
ward six hundred feet, but whether it was due
to careIessly exposed powder, an open lamp, the
presence of gas or the ignition OF coal dust may
never be known The explosion must, however,
have resulted from the neglect Of some precau-
ton the wisdom of which had been established
in countless previous instances
Mr. Roosevet's commissioners lay great stress
on the necessity of intrusting explosives only 10
men of conspicuous prudence. They advise Wet
ting ali coal dust within sixty feet OF shot
that is TO be fired, since fine particles of coal
are almost as dangerous as gunpOwder- Some
of their suggestions relate to the duty Of so sus-
tanning the roof of mine that II cannot collapse
and crush or imprison the workmen. All OF
this counsel has a perfectly familiar sound.
Even the proposition TO fire a blast with elec-
trcity and to be sure that no employe is in the
mine at the moment-a method of procedure
which In the present instance would have saved
several Ives-is probably not new. Still, mere
reteratiOn by the three foreign experts who
were invited TO study the situation in this coun-
try ought to lend new force to the ideas them
selves
Emphasis is laid by the commissioners on the
desrabiIity of cooperation between the govern
ment and the operators in the maintenance of
strict discipline and the value of inspection
by competent men. 1t is for the states TO take
cognizance of these particular recommendations
The national authorities in the United States
do not exercise much control over mining opera
tions. 1t was happy inspiration of the Presi-
dent to take advantage Of the experience of for
eign countries, and in prOmulgating the report
of his commissioners through the United States
Geological Survey a commendable service has
been rendered. The document itself may prof
itabIy be examined by public officials and the
operators of coal mines everywhere. The vOlun-
tary adoption of suitable measures to save life
is preferable to Compulson, but II existing laws
are not yet adequate the report Of the Presi-
dents commission may facilitate enlightened
action.
New-York tribune., 1908-11-08
SOUTH AFRICAN NATION MAKING


The conference of the South African colonies
at Durham Is held In secret, but secrecy Is not
always effective. The details OF the delibera-
tons are not revealed, but some of the salient
results are. 1t may now be pretty safely &C
cepted that the plan which Will finally be agreed
upon will provide not for federation after the
Canadian and Australian examples, but for
complete organic union. That lB 20 say, the
various colonial legislatures, ministries and
governors at Cape Town, Pretoria, Bloemfon-
tain and Pietsrmsrttzburs, will be abolished
and sll four states will be consolidated under
single central government 1t has been evi-
dent from the frst that the Cape, the Trans
vaal and the Orange River Colony inclined in
that direction Natal FOR obvious reasons
would prefer federation and the preservation
OF local autonomy, but there are reasons for
believing that she will acQuiesce In the will of
her neighbors.
We may also expect confidently that the ques-
ton Of the status of the negroes will be set
tied by granting the franchise to all who
can meet certain educational and other REQUIRE
ments. This really seems necessary If union
instead OF federation is to prevail For the
negroes Of the Cape now enjoy the franchise
on such conditions, and II would be imprac-
dcable, IL not Impossible. either to deprive them
st thelg present rights or b maintain them In
