INTERESTING STATISTICS.

\ letter irom the sul erintendent Of
the An;i-Sal5on League gives US in.
formation that is not in the least sur
priSing. but is just what we had ap-
pretended ,t,n withou- the help Of
the statistic, from which the League
drew its ded lcliuns.
The League has made careful can.
vasS Of the stare to learn who Is IN
first. second and third place for gov.
crnor and United states senator. The
League is 'atiSi,d with the attitude
81 Trammcll and Bryan FOR the SEN
ate. and with Knott Hudson and
Cats for the govern crshir on the tenn
perance question. II is therefore i'm.
perative that those who regard the
liquor question ne one Of the impor.
tant issues f the campaign, should
know som,thilg 4 the relative
strength Of these candidates.
From the many thousands Of inqui.
rics sent out IL: the League a to the
ltldNlNt HlltHEtl VI lll' 'dll'NAhNNN
who favor temperance legislation. the
information has been elimited that
Trammoll 'tands 20 per cent. against
Bryan % per cent. IT. the race for
governor. Knott stands % per cent ,
Cats 80 oor cent. ana Hudson II
per cent.
As we said above. even If we did
not have the hercft # the statistics
furnished by tic League, our opinion
was tia; the vote would he some
what divided in the ratio above given.
II therefore SCENE To- be the logical
thing 70 do that all tenn crance advo-
Gates should give their first choice
votes to Trammcll for the United
states senate. and 10 Knott for gov
ernor.
Both Of these are standard men.
each above rcprolch. qualified in the
highest degree for the offices they are
seeking, and both OF them can he
elected If they receive practically the
united strength 81 the temperance
people as one II tho other candidates
is sure 20 receive practically the
united vote Of the liquor element.

AFTER TAXING.

The election Is now over and one Of
the most important things to do is that
each losing candidate shall as soon
as possible forget every unpleasant
thing, if there has been any, in con.
ncctlon with the camroign. This in.
junction IS not usually necessary, for
the winning candidates, as these can
always afford t. be, ana usually are
generous.
The writer has had some exper.
fence and much observation in the po-
litical game, and he can truthfully say
that nearly all the fights have been
as manly ana with a. uniform couT.
tesy for each other a. you will ever
find. We congratulate you, the win.
ncrs, and you, tho loses, for the friend
ly spirit Of rivalry that you have man.
ifested. All who have done this will
feel the better for il. If you have
won, bear your honors with becoming
modcsty. II you have lost, let your ac-
tion be such towards your opponents
that will not invoke the slightest crit.
icism either from your supporters or
from those who saw fit to support
your opponents. ines offices are the
gift If the people, AMI they have the
unqucstionnd right 70 place them in
the hands pf those whom they will.
Most men who enter the political are.
ma do so with a full knowledge of its
uncertainties, and each county must
bear the full responsibility Of his vol
untary act.
We leave nff as We began, enjoining
you to let no roor Of bitterness remain
in your hearts. Hasten o he among

THE NAVAL BATTLE.

The long looked for naval battle ha,
come ana no ,materia change ha,
come In the rclltive strength Of the
two sides rs the reports seem to lndi
cate. Although the reports conflict. II
can he safely said thar the British
losses were heavier than the German
hut owing to he much greater size
Of the British navy, the relative loss
was not any greater il as great as that
Of Germany. with a loss Of twenty.
six ships in all and six or seven thou.
sand men, no advantage seems to
have been gained by either. England
still rules he North Sea with the
same iron hand as heretofore and
while the apparent defeat is a sad
blow to British naval pride and a
source of much rejoicing among the
Germans. Germany must still remain
bottled up MS before, and see the Eng
lish ships sweep the ocean. The bat
tie reveals one thing however. and
that Is, that given an equal chance on
the water, and Germany will hold her
own with the English sea fighters.
What she lacks is an equal chance,
and Germany must know that such
victories rs the one on the Danish
coast must mean defeat for her in
the long run.
