Poratoess were only a few cents a bushel, and this y.ar they had ventured largely in that crop, t.rain was low b) value The price of hogs was going steadily down, down. down. These were some of the real troubles. It seemed surely that the bottom was knocked out of their prosperity. Then her soul wa equally harrowed, for she had tha. way of fretting o. r minor ills, over a long array of imaginary woes. A new carpt-t had just come honv from the weaver's with the stripes wo. n an inch nearer together than she had ordered. This little trifle ehe had worried over until it was magnified into a gnat calamity. She was unable to get her a new cloak this fall, as she had intended. Bet fall In um-cleaning was atill untlnlshed. There were actually fly specks on the very window before her now, which fn-tted her cleanly soul into peevish unhappin ss.

buy necc-isitie. She predicted a dark outlook for their future, filling the infantile minds w ith vi-ions of ghastly want. Such words gOtadng from their mother were deeply impressive on all the children except Davy, the üttle eeven-year nlnd of the camp.

Aa a part of this precious programme, ar1:11.; ed without regard lor the welfare of the business of tbe country, tbe national republican committee is to remain in active existence, to uwsumc generni control of tbe party in all the states, oal to act aa the political advisory board of tba odiBiaiatiatkMi.

McKinley bis congratulations iu thia wise: "Senator Jones has Just Informed me that tbe returns indicate your electlou, and I hasten to extend my congratulations. Wa have ulm!tted the Issua to the American people, ana their will Is law. William J. Uryan." That Mr. Hryan made a gallant struggle for victory hismobt bitter enemies w ill concede. That be cornea out of the conflict a ssratAar man tb;.:: he. v. as M baa be entered it, t hat his efforta

for election have been c ha 1 aeteri.ed by

ict dignity and almost unprecedented

ability, his opponents ought to admit.

Defeat must bring disappointment to

b in. but it cannot bring mortification.

lt is well that the defeat is one which.

though not sweeping, is still conclusive. We who pressed the Hryan cuuso du aded the e fleet of the huge republic-

M campaign fund, of t he coercive meth

ods employed by republican syina-

thiers, of the deeming conspiracy of

the press to befog the issues and to be

foul the candidates of the democracy.

All of these agencies were employed

against the democratic ticket to their

fullest, degree, but, how ever great their

inuetne, they were not the deterniiningfactor in the election. The issuea

v re submitted to the people, and the nqoplg expressed their convictiona re

pudiated Hryan as they repudiated

Cleveland in 1883; struck down demon-

racy as they struck down republican

ism in 1392,

Mr. McKinley w ill now become presi

dent nfter one of the most hotly con

tested elections of the later years of the republic. He will have a house of

represent ntivea at his beck and coll.

nnd a senate so nearly in accord witft

his views that a little tact alone on hi part will le needed to bend it to bin v 'shea. He w ill be the ruler for four y ears the "strong man" who, na Mr. ( .cve'.and'a minister to the Court of St. JaasM says, the American people need to keep them orderly. Will he rise to the occasion? Will lie discard the aasoeintes whose character, more than his, hns inspired doubt of him? Will he "restore prosperity." or failing" that, ns anyone might fail will he at least strive for justice to all men and for the demolition of special privilege to nny men? Probably be will try. for no ninti was ever big enough to be-

who bad not in his heart ideals which) soured r.b ne subserviency to any class, or particularly to nny mercenary interest. It is not McKinley, but his aasociute?. whom the people dread, nr.d if he shall govern. Indeed, and not through ministers chosen by Mark Banna, his administration will be not dangerous even though it may not be inspiring. N. Y. Journal. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
