THE civilized world will heartily
approve Of the proposition that army
and navy officers of the German forces
who have been guilty Of wanton cruelty
and vicious destruction Of property
must be brought to account. The
French and British authorities have
a long list Of such scoundels, and will
insist upon their trial and punishment
after the war.

Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage, one Of the
richest women in the world, widow of
Russell Sage, died Monday at her home
IN New York City. In her early DAYS
she was school teacher, and she had
hard time scraping together sufficient
money for her education. Her latter
years were entirely taken UP with the
great problem Of giving away wisely
the fortune Of S70,0O0,OO0 left her BY
her husband.

The ELECTION.

The election throughout the country
on Tuesday seems to have favored the
Republicans rather than the Democrats
The reports this morning indicate that
the Democrats will lose control OF the
House of Representatives, and the
Republicans may have majority o
twenty, allowing them to elect speaker
and reorganize all the committees. In
the Senate the membership will bt
pretty evenly divided, with the prospec
that there may be a lie, which woul'
give Vice-President Marshall the dc
Gliding vote.
The Republicans have the best Of it in
West Virginia. Major Davis Elkins
has defeated Col c. w. Watson, for t.
United States Senate by majority Of
perhaps 1900. The Republicans
have probably elected FIVE of the six
Congressman, Major M. M. Nicely, Of
the first district being the only success
full Democrat. George M. Bowers is re-
electedover Ben. H. Hiner by majority
which Mr.. Bowers claims is 2,612. The
counties carried by Bowers and their
majorities are Berkeley,516 Morgan,
$50; Mineral, 222; Tucker, l52 ;
Monongalia, 1894 Barbour, 5l2
Grant, $50 (; Preston, 2,l0O ; total g.
246. Hiner carried Jefferson, 1869 ;
Hampshire. 100; Hardy, 425 ; Pendle'
ton, 500; Randolph, 72O; total, 81
Sl4.
From the reports this morning it looks
as if Henry Ford has been defeated for
the Senate in Michigan by Truman H
Newberry. Massachusetts, elected
David |. Walsh, Democrat, to the Senate
by a plurality of 10000 over John W.
Weeks, the present Republican incum'
bent. Alfred E. Smith was elected
Governor OF New York over present
Governor Whitman by 1900 plurality
Maryland elected three Democrats and
three Republicans to Congress.
Milton w. Burr is elected to the State
Senate from this district by about L.
900 majority. M. o. Rouss for the
Legislature and all the other Demo
cratic candidates from Jefferson county
were elected. In Berkeley county Roy
Grove and Theodore Imbach were elect
ed TO the Legislature, and all the other
Republican county candidates were
elected.
The Republicans carried Berkeley
county, electing all Of their Candidates
Bowers had a plurality OF 495 over
| Hiner and Elkins carried the county by
BOT over Watson.
The election passed off very quietly
lin Shepherdstown and throughout the
county. The party workers by strenuous
effort managed TO get out pretty fail
vote, but there was no decided cnange
of sentiment, the voters casting theil
ballots pretty much in the same ole
way. watson, Democrat, for Senator
carried the county against Elkins
Republican, by plurality OF l,213' the
vote standing 1889 to 1876. Inc
plurality of Hiner, Democrat, for Con
press. over Bowers was 1869, the vote
being 1872 to sO3. The other Demo
cratic candidates were elected by the
usual maioritieS.
