Democrats Lose Nothing

Richmond, Va. Nov. 4.-No

the late election returns, which war

expressed yesterday that Colonel
James would not be more than 5, 600
votes behind the head of the ticket
despite the fact that his name had
20 be written or stamped on every
ballot. All the other democratic
nominees ran we'll with Judge Mann
There was no knitting OF Judge
Mann and no movment away from
the democratic party To the Iepubli-
cans. IL the estimates of correspond

per cent less than that received one
year ago by William Jennings Bry-
an, Mr.. Kent's vote appears To be
the same per centage less than that
given to William II. Taft
The apparent vote in Tuesdays
election is Approximately l20, 600,
while that of last November was
1876, S56. Therefore, while Judge
Mann's vote seems TO be about 73, 600
instead OF Bryan's 80, 9O6 Mr.. Kent's
is apparently in the neighborhood
OF AZ, 600, as compared to Taft's 81, 573
The democrats were more apathetic
than the republicans only because
there were more democrats to be
apathetic.
The election of democratic legis-
lature assures the reelection OF Sena-
tor John w. Daniel TO the United
States Senate. Major Daniel is
the party nominee for the senator
ship under the primary law.
The democratic strength in the
coming legislature will be exactly
the same as in the present one, hav-
ing eighty six out of the 100 mem
beis of the house and thirty five out
OF the forty senators.
The republicans gained the mem

HERE'S MOTHER BLACK EYE
FOR PATERNALlSM.

Scarcely have the gallant soldiers of
Uncle sam returned from Cuba to the
air of Johnny Comes Marching Home"
when our saddle -hued brethren pro-
ceed to forget all we have taught them
Of Yankee morality.
Governor Magoon had a nice little
plan to improve the island by the au-
thorization of a national loan of Sl6,-
100000. He put this in the form of a
decree empowering the newly elected
President of Cuba to make negotiations
for the necessary credits.
Now Magoon has departed and the
Cuban congress is running things in its
suave Cuban way. It does not propose
to tax Cubans of today and their chill
dren in the crude, direct Yankee man
ner. No, indeed. If money is to be
raised, let the Cubans have a run for
what they put up. Let the people OF
other nations get into the game and
help pay the national debt.
So a bill is we'll on its way through
the Cuban congress providing for the
annulment of the former governors de-
cree. This measure, it is said, is as
sured of early passage by an over
whelming majority.
In its stead, as a revenue producing
statute, comes the bill to establish a
great, national lottery. Already
agents Of the scheme are boasting that
the bill will be jammed through both
houses. Lobbyists who shared in the
rich pickings of the Honduras and
Louisiana lotteries are clustering in
Havana and tropical finance is due for
some sensational exploitation.
The bill TO restore coek-fghting and
betting on that exquisite sport is being

fUBINSTEIN CLUB
GIVES FINE CONCERT
Large Audience Enjoys Good
Program at Arlington
Hotel.

Washington may indeed now refute
the claim that IT has neither the re-
sources nor .he inclination to be a
musical city ior it has in the season
Just closing demonstrated that it will
support enterprises which offer the
higher class of musical entertainment
and tend TO further the artistic edu-
cation Of its public.
This was never more clearly demon
strated than last night when an audi
ence which literally filled every bit OF
available space in the big ballroom and
adjoining hall of the Arlington Hotel
heard the spring concert of the Rubin
stein Club This organization Is com
posed exclusively of Washington women
soloists. Each has had the training
and experience of a church or concert
singer and the effectiveness Of their
combined voices may easily be imag-
ined.
A Striking Program
C@der the direction of Mrs A NJ.
Blair the club gave a program last
night that was not only striking In its
makeup. but which was thrilling I'm
the extreme to music lovers, who crowd
ed the hall. Nothing daintier or more
effectively sung has been heard here
this winter than the clubs delightful
reading Of FAIRBANKS April Girl"
The excellent phrasing Mrs Blair
brought out in the clubs singing of
Strauss Blue Danube waItzes gave
an adequate idea OF the individual capa-
Dilities and understanding OF eu9 club
members. The other numbers on the
program were equally effective and in
spring
Each selection brought out some other
attribute OF training, and Demonstrated
the complete understanding between the
singers and their director, Mrs Blair.
One of the chief features Of the work of
the cluD Is the clear cnunciatiOn given
10 each song. Persons in the extreme
rear Of the big hall were able TO under
stand every word sung by the club.
Fabian Interprets Chopiz,
s. NJ Fabian. pianist, and Miss Julia
Allen, soprano. were the assisting solo
Ists. Mr.. Fabian's delightful conception
Of the writings of Chopin has long been
known among Washington music lovers
and his worh last night in a group of
this masters compositions was one of
the distinctive features of the program.
His delicate performance Of one OF
Chopin's famous waltzes with the ia
trtcate and fascinating :uaZurka were
in strong contrast TO the force and
clarity given TO the exacting polonaise
and TO the familiar etude written main
ly for the left hand Mr.. Fabian was
enthusiastically applauded and was
compelled 20 respond with an encore 10
Miss Allen will be remembered here
for her work with the Italian Grand
Opera Company, which appeared several
weeks ago at tbs Belasco Theater Her
voice Is flexible and she chose A gToup
OF numbers particularly fitted to display
this quality in her voice
