If this thing keeps up, Chicago will soon become the bigamy center of the universe. Important capture in the Philippines—The lingerie department of the Aguinahlo outfit. The phrase “the men behind the guiis'’ has given way to “the men behind the mules.” Well, they take some chances too! After all the talk about “cornering” and “hemming-in” Aguinaldo. it turns out that General Otis had simply surrounded another vacuum. Now that Hon. Bill Bynum of Indiana hns succeeded in landing an office, our national honor appears to be safe for a few years at any rate.

If we correctly read the reports from Manila, General Otis’ hem-ming-in process for Aguinaldo seems to have dropped some stitches. It is reported that Governor Roosevelt is taking boxing lessons. What, a talking acquisition pugilism would have if he should turn professional. Adjutant General Corbin announces that the war will be over by January. This announcement has been made so often that it bears all the marks of a serial story in a monthly magazine. It now appears that General Otis’s latest exploit in the Philippines was not the hemming in of Aguinaldo, but the hemming in of Mine. Aguinaldo’s gowns—an einbarnssing error, but an exceedingly natural one. It has been recently suggested that trusts be subsidized by the nation, with the bounty distributed according to the size of the corporations. And yet this is called a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Those energetic correspondents, who are nominating Mr. Bryan to till Senator Hayward’s seat are premature and inconsiderate, since Mr. Br van has higher honor awaiting him than a senatorial toga, and Senator Hayward may disappoint the prophets by getting well. Secretary Gage having once more relieved tin* money stringency by a call for bonds and incidentally added a few millions to the stock gamblers in Wall street, | the business of the Treasury department may now proceed until 1 the next little speculating flurry. I Nebraska may be appropriately termed the banner Democratic state this year. Evidently Mr. Bryan’s home people like him, a liking which Mr. Hamm's neighbors fail to possess for that trustdefending Senator, if the returns from Cuyahoga county are a true criteron. Congress, when placed upon its own responsibility at the opening of the session next month, will doubtless havs uLLihe timidity of a school girl at her first ball, but the absence of Czar Reed will not be felt long, since the country will he safe so long as the great arid only Grosvenor is to remain. \ Chairman James K. Jones of 'the 'Democratic National Committed predicts a Democratic victory in thV natibn liyxt year. Those Republicans, who have already inaugurated MpKinley for a second term, are a&out as enterprising and ingenius as the boy who extracted moonbeams from cucumbers. Mr. Hanna, it is declared, will retire from the chairmanship of the Republican national committee at the meeting in Washington next Monday. Apparently that little mfnprity for the republican nominee in the total vote in Ohio, is having its effect. Even McKinley sees that Hanna must be unloaded. .• > '■('■■■ ■

Boont> county commissioners have contracted for voting machines for the next election, and is the first county in the state to take such action. President McKinley is now engaged in preparing his annual platitutes for the delectation of his imperialistic admirers. No doubt the message will explain why the United States has adopted as a perpetual pensioner the Sultan of Sulu with his plurality of wives and slaves. A township assessor in Grant county has been indicted for extortion. He had required his deputies to contribute a part of their salaries to him in consideration of an appointment. This had been practiced by his predecessors, said he, for years, and he only “did what was the custom.” The entire country would be given some decidedly interesting information, if Secretary Gage should frankly open his mouth, and let the people know what form of reasoning he changed his mind and became subservient to the financial sharks of Wall Street by issuing a call for §25,000,000 in bonds.

The official vote of • Ohio gives Nash, 417,199, 368,176, •Jones, 106,721.* Nash’s plurality | over McLean, 49,023. The McLean and Jones vote combined was 57,698 more than the Nash vote. As : both the McLean and Jones supjiorters were opposed to President McKinley and his war policy, it is difficult to see how the latter’s supporters can gather very much j consolation from “administration enddtsement” in Ohio.

There is a popular demand for an investigation of the records of the various county officers of Jasper county, and a petition signed by as many prominenttaxpayers—regardless of politics—as that recently presented to the board of commissioners ought not to be ignored. Even Benton county, with a tax rate less than one-lmlf that of Jasper, ordered an investigation of some of its offices, among which was that of the auditor, but no report, was made public, from the fact that the party conducting the investigation deposited his report wit?i the auditor and the auditor. strange to. say, “mislaid” the same and it has never been found. Pulaski, Tippecanoe and many other Indiana counties have been doing a little investigating, and as a result the county treasuries of those counties will be swelled thousands of dollars. In fact, in every county where investigations have been made —all high taxed counties—lots of rottenness has been unearthed, Will the county commissioners in our own county ignore the prayer of their constituents at their meeting next month.?

The action of a number of the American people in their treatment iof Admiral Dewey because he saw fit to transfer the property lately i given him by his admirers, to his wife, is the basest, blackest blot, ion American citizenship wo have lever seen. While we think it was bad taste to go wild over Dewey j and present him with something which he was amply able to purj chase for himself, there were no ! strings tied to the.gift, and he had J a perfect right to do as he pleased | with it. Admiral Dewey lowered j himself in the estimation of many | sensible people when he accepted [ this gift, and now that such a disgraceful howl has been raised over his transfer of the same to his wife, | he would do well to have it again ; to himself and then tell | the fawning hero-worshippers who 1 presented it to him and who later made such great asses of thomi selveft, to take it and go to shoel with it; that he did not want their gifts and would have nothing more to do with it. The hissing of Adimiral Dewey's picture by a Washington audience the other evening because of this transfer was the most damnable act an American audience was ever guilty of. 1, ■ - | See those handsome high grade patterns of.

VOTING MACHINES.

Results of Their Use In New York State Generally Satisfactory. In the elections on Tuesday, November 7, 225 Standard voting machines were used in this state, distributed as follows: Buffalo, 108; Rochester, 73; Utica, 26: Ithaca, 10; Albion, 5; Canisteo 2, and Weat Winfield, 1, Extra machines, held in reserve to meet ap*

cidents or other emergencies, are not included in the enumeration. High praise of the machines come from all quarters. They have met every promise of convenience to voters, speed in voting,- automatic and instantaneous footings of the total number of votes «ast for each candidate, and a promptness in announcing the aggregate result in a city or village proportioned to the quickness with which the returns from each district were conveyed to a central point and tabulated. Ithaca seems to be the banner town in this last respect, with a record of 17 minutes in gathering and adding the figures from 10 machines. Of the 225 machines used mishaps were reported to only seven, and these were due in three cases to malicious vandalism and breakage by violence; in three cases to a misplacement of keys by election officers, delaying the unlocking of the machines promptly at the appointed time on election morning, and in one case to the strong arm of an ignorant fellow who gave the voting lever a fierce wrench in the wrong direction. In none of these cases was a serious delay caused, nor did a single citizen lose his vote. In addition to their speed and accuracy the machines are so constructed as to make it' impossible to cast a defective vote, to “repeat” or to commit any fraud or irregularity. On the score of guaranteeing to every citizen the exercise of the voting privilege without risk of disfranchisement on account of blunders, the machines seem absolutely perfect. Their superiority to the official ballot in this respect i 3 plain and striking, and is demonstated.by official records. All in all, the voting machine is one of the inventive triumphs of the age, and it is as sure, in the near future, to displace the printed ballot as steam has proved to be in putting out of date the stage coach ard the packet boat.—Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our reeular correspondent.) Representative Richardson, of Term., is the first one of the four | candidates for the Democratic | nomination for of the | House, which carries with it the democratic floor leadership during the Fifty-sixth Congress, to reach Washington and open headquari ters. Mr. Richardson says he lias received more pledges of support than any one of the other three candidates—Bankhead of Ala., De I Armond, of Mo, and Sulzer, of N, Y.—and expresses confidence in | his success, but the friends of the other candidates also express confidence of the success of their man in this good-natured contest for the democratic leadership in the House. Mr. Bailey, of Texas, has not yet reached Washington, but he stated during the last session Shat he would not again be a candidate, but would support Mr. Bankhead for the honor. Some are predicting that there will be a deadlock in the caucus and that I the friends of all the candidates | will compromise by nominating Mr. Bailey again.

If there were any doubt about Representative Henderson having been the administration’s choice for Speaker, it would have been dissipated by what has occured since his arrival in Washington. Almost before he had removed the dust of travel from his clothes, he called at the White House to know whether Mr. McKinley had any orders to give as to the Committee assignments, aside from the packing of the Committee on Banking and Currency in favor of the single gold standard bill, which was ordered last summer. Mr. Henderson is going to be a McKinley Speaker, and this House, instead of registering the will of Czar Reed as the last one did, will register the will of Mr. McKinley. t f In order to get control of the Senate Finance Committee of which a majority have for years been silver men, even since the Committee was controlled by the republicans, the gold worshippep are going to reorganize the Senate Committee, giving the republicans nine members in those consisting of thirteen and seven in those consisting of eleven. Even then the gold men will only have a majority of one in the Finance Committee, as Johes, of Nevada, classed as a silver republican and Wolcott, of Colcftado, who calls himself a republican bimetallist, can be counted upon to act with the silver men on the questiofi of reports ing a bill to enact the single gold standard. The four democratic members of this Committee are Vest, of Mo., Jones, of Arkansas, Daniels, of Va., and Chilton, of Texas, all stanch silver men. Unless Mr. McKinley gets frightened by those republicans, who although

willing to vote for a gold standard bill itcompelled to ao so, believe it will be bad policy to pat» one on the eve of a Presidential campaign, such a bill'|s likely to be' jammed through at this session of Congress. It will depend largely upon the attitude taken by Mr. McKinley-in his message so Congress. t t Nothing could more clearly show the close relations existing between Secretary Gage and the Wall street Speculators, and the absolute control of this administration by the money kings, than the manner in which Secretary Gage went to the rescue of the Wall Street crowd, by purchasing $25,000,000 worth of Government bonds. Not two hours before the order was officially issued to buy those bonds, Secretary Gage assured newspaper, men that no bonds w r ould be bought. Later he received his orders from Wall street, and promptly obeyed by ordering a purchase of bonds. When the Wall street gang squeezes the public, the government never goes to the relief of the public, but let the screws be turned a fe.v times on the big speculators, and the treasurydumps a big wad of public money into Wall street to ease the pinch, and the gullible public is expected to accept’the statement that it is a patriotic act, done to prevent a financial panic, when it is well known that it is really done to prevent loss on the part of the big speculators, who do not hesitate to make situations threatening a money panic whenever they think it profitable to do so, because of their knowledge that the U. S. Treasury is behind them. There will come a time—it will have to come —when Wall street speculators will rifct dictate the actions of the U. S. Treasury, but it will not come until there is an administration in power which does not owe its election to money put up by the great speculators of the country. There will be a chance to elect such an administration next vear. t t Although the election is over, Ohio republicans are still getting fat slices of pie from the official counter. One of the last to be fed was Mr. H. W. Hart, a young lawyer of Alliance, who has been appointed U. S. Consul, at Dusselldorf, Germany, considered a very desirable post, to fill a vacancy caused by death. t t The statement that Boss Hanna had told Mr. McKinley that he would not remain at the head of the republican national committee is believed to be nothing more than a ruse to head off the fight against Hanna, by prominent republicans. Hanna may retire, but if he does, it will be because he knows it is a choice of going apparently of his own will and getting kicked out.
