The Resnit a Disapointment. The result of the elections surpris- «#d nobody more than those who voted the winning ticket. This fact is clearly dewoustrated in the man- ner in which the returns were re- ceived on one hand and the possible equences on the other. If the| al instructions implied in the were followed the Fifty-fourth gress would reopen the tariff tion and re enact the McKinley That measure bankrupted the “Dreasury before, and when it was enacted there was a surplus of $100,- 000,000 to draw from. The restora- tioa of it without a surplus wouid «esult in an immediate deficiency. ‘The new tarriff law saves the peo- ple more than $1,090,000,000 a year in taxation. The result of the elect- ion literally interpreted would be an anstruction to Congress to reimpose tL + taxes, yet no man who voted the ticket intended to convey such in structions to the Federal Legisla ture. Certainly no man in Missouri daw. had such an idea in his mind And yet that is the logical inference to be drawn from the vote. The reim position of the tax wouldn't benefit the industries. It wouldn't increase the revenues. It would simply add that much to the burdens of the peo ple without compensation. In the face of these facts it may be assumed that the Republican victory was the result of the mad impulse of the people to vote against ‘the party in power without reason. No doubt there was disappointment wt the delay in changing the eco- nomic policy of the government. But the Democratic party wasn't re eponsible for that. The remedial tegislation was delayed by the party «which has profited through the de- lay. The Republicans seems to have relied ou the stupidity of the people, aud were not disappointed. This is * humiliating fact, but an indispu- fable one.—K C. Times. 4 | : | Cause of the Disaster. ty Bloomington, Ill, Nov. 7.—Hon. j j Adlai E. Stevenson, Vice-President, a4 xpent the entire day in seclusion in EP the house of his brother, John, med- | Va tuting upon the political events of 2 yesterday and preparing to attend the wedding of a nephew which éakes place tonight. It was a dreary <iay, with leaden skies and a cold Arizzle dimming the window paues. Mr. Stevenson, when asked to state his opinion as to the causes leading ap to the Democratic defeat of yes “erday, said: “My opinion can be briefly stated. ‘Che result is due in part to the finan- cial depression which came upon the <ountry soon after the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland. While the dem- ocrats were in no way responsible for this, they were made the scape q@oats. It was also in part due to the delay of congress in passing the Cariff bill. Had the bill become a 4aw ninety days earlier than it did, it is probable the business conditions of the country would have so adjust- ed themselves that the political re- sult would bave been different.” Mr. Stevenson will depart from Sloomington this week for Asheville, N. C.,where he joins his family, who are sojourning there. He will 1¢- main in the South three weeks going thence to Washington.

Ifthe current reports are to be believed there was an unusual num- ber of ballot frauds perpetrated this year. Ia New York there seems to have been an honest election last ‘Tuesday, but that fact is attributable anore to fear on the part of the usu- ral ballot manipulators than to the «virtue of the voters, and in Balti- ‘mere, acity notorious for election frauds, the perpetrators of the crime aeem te have had a day off. But these are democratic cities and it seems that ballot frauds are criminal only when they are in the interests of Democracy.

The shovel, though, was clutched with au iron grip, aud, although he tugged tard he was unable to remove it from the clutches of the possessor The man’s feet were firmly planted on the ground as though nailed and he stood there as rigid aud motion- iess as a piece of statuary. Physicians were summoned to the scene, and the marvelous sight was witnessed by hundreds of citizens. Several unsuccesstul attempts to remove the shovel from his hands were made when police captain Ala- back, assisted by several of his offic ers, succeeded in removing it from his grasp, although it seemed that they would surely break off his fing ersinso doing. The man’s heart beat with the ordinary pulsations, and the lungs were performing their vocation. After the man had stood in this position for over two hours he was picked up like a piece of marble, placed in the patrol wagon and con- veyed to a bospital. He remained in substaotially the same condition for two whole days, during which time his bedside was almost con- stantly surrounded with physicians who were interested in the case. There were indications that the man was conscious of his surroundings. Although improved in condition he has not yet been able to relate his experience. (GRAVES & CLARK, wf ATTORN#YS AT LAW.
