COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

No small amount of attention is at tracted by the conditions which are surrounding the street railway strike in Indianapolis with the refusal of the police to do duty and the street fights which are resulting from the efforts of the railway com pany to operate itS lines with new men. As usual in such cases where the public service corpor- ations are concerned it is the public which is sharing the effects of the in ability of the company and it's strik- ing employees to reach an agreement. Such a contest simply ties mp railway transportation because of the danger which attends the use of the assaulted ears. Few are anxious to run the chances of injury which riding entails.
 Such methods of settling disputes wherein the public is 9 most important factor is constantly helping the ad- vocacy of compulsory arbitration. The demoraIization of the police force of Indianapolis only indicates the harm which is done against community rights, law and order. Nothing is bring ing about the demand for the sub- mission of such disputes to arbitra- tion, aside from the justice of such a method of settlement like such spec tacles as that in Indiana. If there is merit to the claims of the employees in seeking better working conditions and better pay, or in the position of the company in opposing such, it should be heard before an arbitration board for the best adjustment It is the fair method of adjustment to all concerned including the people.

ELECTION RESULTS.

One of the most prominent lessons revealed by the elections in the sev- eral states Tuesday was the steady sweeping into office of dem ocratic can didates through the futile efforts of en- deavoring to defeat a united body with a split opposition: The magnificent results of the fusion effort in New York stand out most clearly as the example of what is to be gained by standing together and presenting a united front for the election of the men who will give the best admin tsratton. and put to rout the organ 1zation which has too long been in control of the situation for the welfare of the metropolis. Tammany has gone down because those who demanded better things stood together.
 g Tn New Jersey and Massachusetts he democratic state tickets were elected because of the failure to bring about that reunion of forces which brought success in New York. It in dicates continuance of the conditions which have been revealed in the past, though New Jersey in it's three cor nered contest shows a strong rally to the republican standard. In Massa- chusetts the contest was that of or 8anization against personality and the former won, but a most important rev elation is made by the gain in the re- publican forces in the state legislature both in that state and in New Yotl, and the choice of a republican con- gressnan in the Third Massachusetts district. The combined strength of the opposition to the successful guberna- torial candidates tells an impressive story.
