Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, September 2), 184. No state in the Union offers a more fruit- ful field for speculation as to the result of this fall's election than Illinois. The popu- list party is just about strong enough to introduce into the equation a factor the precise value of which is hard to estimate, but which may prove just the deciding ele- ment in its effect upon the general result. Illinoisans are most interested in their next United States Senator. A careful view of the last legislature in Illinois throws a good deal of light upon the probable make-up of the coming aggre- gation. The last legislature was composed of 206 members. Of these 102 were demo- crats, 101 were republicans and three were populists. To be elected a United States Senator some one man must receive 104 votes. So that the populists, although there were only three of them, controlled the situation. What complicated the situation further was that the number of men who held the balance of power was so small that it was easily kept unified. The legisla- ture met in the early part of January, and it was nearly April before a choice was made. Finally two of the populisis voted for Mr. Palmer, the democratic candidate, and he receiving 104 votes, had just enough to elect him. What causes have appear#i during the last three years to make the complexion of the coming Illinois legisla- ture different from that of the last? The record of the democratic part is going to cost its candidates thousands of votes in Illinois. Offsetting this great cause, which is going to help the repub- licans this fall in Ilnois, is a second which is going to injure them; the reapportion- ment law passed by the last legislature. This law has been pronounced constit uonal by the two highest courts of Illi- nois, and it ts so framed that it deprives the republicans of a number of members of the legislature. This was the intention of its framers. To a superficial observer the disaffection of the democrats, which will hurt the democratic party, and the reapportionment law, which will hurt the republican party, ought to counteract each ether. This ts good theoretical opinion to advance, but as a matter of fact it isn’t true. The reapportionment law will not hurt the republicans half as much as the record of thelr own party will injure the democrats. A tour in the small towns of central and southern Illinois shows this. The writer had a little piece of personal experience within a fortnight that illus- trates the feeling in rural Illinois this fall. it was at a democratic meeting in a town of about 2,000 people in southe-n Illinois. The speaker had an audience of about 4), because the farmers had all come in from the surrounding country. The orator was warn.ed up to his subject and he was pro- testing against the injustice of holding the democrats responsible for all the ills of ex- istence. The panic especially could not be laid to democratic doors. The hard times would have come any way, he urged. It was right in the middle of the dry season, which bade fair to eat up the state, and finally the speaker said, “I have been pa- tiently waiting for some of my republican friends to say that the democrats brought on the drought.” At that point a young farmer, an intelli- gent looking fellow, rose up in his chair and bellowed from the audience, “The drought ain't no werse than Altgeld.” Three-fourths of that audience were demo- crats, but this sentiment seemed to meet with such universal spontaneous approval trat a shout of approbation went up, and the hall resounded with: “True for you,” “That's so,” “Amen,” and the like. Investigation all through the small towns shows that their inhabitants, irrespective of Politics, lock on Altgeld and the drought very much in the same light. Democratic Vote in the Large Cities. It does not appear that in the coming elec- tion in this state the democratic vote in Chicago and in the towns of over 10,000 population will be changed much, but in the small towns there are practically no demo- crats this year. With regard to the populist strength, it is difficult to advance an opinion. There will be a few more populists in the next legislature than in the last. Instead of three we may look for six or eight, or possibly ten or twelve. The number will hardly be greater than the latter figure. On general principles, however, the populist gains will be drawn from both the other parties, and that each will suffer about alike. What Has Hurt the Populists. The populists would be much stronger than they will be had it not been for the strikes and the scenes of violence in Chica- go last June and July. Railroad traffic was so impeded all over the state for three weeks that farmers lost a great deal of money by not being able to get their pro- ducts to markets. Many of these farmers were populists, and they expressed them- selves very emphatically about the labor element that was causing the trouble. These expressions of opinion were resented by workingmen. The result is that instead of a combination between the populist and la- bor parties, which seemed likely six months ago, there is a wide breach between the two. The populist candidates, therefore, are likely to lose a gre many labor votes which, otherwise, they would have received. So far as the general condition of party strength in Illinois is concerned, it does not at present seem as if it were possible for the republicans not to control the coming legislature. In this event, Senator Shelby M. Cullom will be re elected Senator. Ex- Congressman Mason has been making a great deal of noise, but his candidacy is hardly seriously considered. It isn’t, perhaps, wholly wise to predict majorities. Cleveland and Altgeld carried Linois on a democratic landslide, two years ago, by about 30,000 votes. The republican state ticket will be elected this fall by any- where from 20,000 to 30,000 majority, and the republicans will have a clear working majority in both branches of the legislature. —_ army of shoppers apparent- ly made the Palais Royal, at lth and G streets northwest, its rendezvous today. This is the occasion of the eighteenth an- nual fall opening of Mr. Lisner's establish- ment, and also the second anniversary of its location in the new building. The Palais Royal has expanded from merely a fancy goods store to an estab- lishment of great magnitude, where almost every conceivable article may be purchased, and that it is popular was attested by the immense crowds that swarmed about the building today. The establishment indoors Was appropriately decorated. ‘The most striking feature was an autumn scene sus- pended above the center of the main floor, It represented a lady and her child, attired in winter garments, passing beneath a tree, rom which ieaves were falling. Around each pillar was fasiened golden-rod and ripened corn, the whole suggesting but one idea— autumn is here. Prominently displayed was a sign, with the inscription “Our fall open- ing comes with the falling leave: Half a million dollars is represented in the new goods displayed today. Everything is rew, and the ladies who have been study- ing the latest styles in the fashion journals may sce them illustrated in detail.” In the basement is the household department,where the very finest, as well as the very cheap- est, articles may be found. Live birds today sang merrily in all portions of the base- ment. The Palais Royal makes a point to The first floor is a symphony in color. There are ribbons of the very newest shades, gloves in countless numbers, and everything else in which the feminine heart delights. An exhibition of fine lamps and rare crock- ery attracted the attention of a large num- ber of persons. The second floor is given up to dress goods and housekeeping articles. In one corner are the ha from the latest creations ‘mported from Paris to American imitations of the same. Imported wraps are the chief feature of the third floor, and the fourth and top is given up to upholstery goods, curtains, draperies, special furniture, rugs and brass bedsteads, all of which de- light the eye.

These biennial visits of the Senator to his con- stituency are especially gratefiil to the adolescent spelibinders, who are always more or less suspicious of the party hand- book as a rule of faith and practice, but who would not think of questioning the precepts of the sage of Warrensb-idge, The handbook of a necessity is spread out over the whole country, but Cockrell’s ideas, seldom he visits the state, are es- sentially Missourian and his figures are all compiled with a view to local application. The Senator did not come a day too soon, for it is conceded on all sides that the democrats have the fight of their lives on their hands. While it is likely that they will elect their state ticket, the republicans are already boasting that in several con- gressional districts they are scared out of their boots. As at present constituted, the Missouri delegation in the lower house stands fourteen democrats and one republi- can. Richard Bartholdt of the tenth dis- trict is the lonesome individual who yearns for the party companionship which a few republican colleagues would give him. The fact that there are optimists here in Missouri who assert that Bartholdt’s dis- trict is the only one in the state which is not doubtful this year illustrates to some extent the sanguine temperament peculiar to the republicans of 184. They are already burning the red fire of prescient victory. Of course, their wild dream of a clean sweep here in Missouri is ephemeral, but that they will have three or four Representatives in the next Congress is by no means unlikely. The Eleventh District. Bartholdt will, of course, be returned, his district being lopsided in its opposition to democracy. Then, in the eleventh district, now represented by John J. O'Neil, there is a sentimental feeling in favor of Charles F. Joy. Joy, it will be remembered, was given the certificate of election two years ago, but was unseated by the democratic majority on a technicality. The district is democratic, to be sure, the margin being nearly two thovsand, and it was the A. P. A. influence alone that gave Mr. Joy the ghost of a chance in I8%2 Who the dem- cratic candidate this year will be it is hard to say. O'Neil announced some time ago that he would not be in the race, but since his re- turn from Washington he has sidied up to more than one politici: and intimated that he would like to thrash Joy's boots off of him, and that he thinks be can. He can probably have the nomination if he wishes it. Joy will- undoubtedly be the republican nominee. In any event, the district may be set down ar doubtful, with the odds in favor of the democrats, provided that party's candidate is a man of exceptional personal popularity. The Fifteenth. The other district that is not considered altogether safe is the fifteenth, now repre- sented by Chas. H. Morgan. Mr. Morgan's plurality two years ago was 1,722. He polled 17,489 against a combined opposition of more than 22,000, and unless he can again scatter the ballots adverse to him he will, of course, get the worst of it In No- vember. He rej cesents the largest lead and zinc mining section in the country, if not in the world, and the miners are not satisfie? with the tariff schedule which a’ fects their industry. Besides this, south- west Missouri, from whence he hails, has long been the Gibraltar of republicanism in this state. The section sent as many sol- diers to the Union army during the war, according to its population, as any other section, perhap=, in the coun’ Mr. Mo! gan is today the beneficiary of a gerryman- der. He first went to Congress in 1574 on his record as a Union soldier, was returned in "76, staid out four years, served another term aad was again furloughed until 1802. Im Tarsney’s District. John C. Tarsney, who represents the fifth or Kansas City district, had 5,167 votes to the good when the ballots were counted two years ago, but, notwithstanding this splendid majority, some doubt is expressed as to his «bility to win a re-election. The opposition to hiw is cumulative. In the first place, Mr. Tarsney is a very independent mai is shown by his vote on the tariff bill, and this independence has made him many enemies in his own part The opposition tried to focus on some de" ccrat in the conveation without success. then there was some talk of a bolt, but that did not amount to much. Among Mis- souri democrats the bolter is an anathema. But it is the post convention opposition that Mr. Tars: ey has reason to fear. The American Protective Association is a factor ‘n alissouri politics, and its in- fluence will for some time to come be po- tent. The man who cannot see this is pur- blind. The order elected the present mayor of Kansas City, a republican, although the town is democratic by several thousand. Kansas City, Mr. Tarsney’s home, hotbed of the order, and no primary has been held tn that part of the state for two years ir. which it did not make its Influence felt. The Congressman is a Catholic, which might be forgiven even by the A. P. A. had he not in his vigorous and independent way denounced the introduction of religion into politics. The Star correspondent is of the opinion, after careful investigation of the situation, that Mr. Tarsney will be returned to Con- gress, but it will be by a greatly reduced majority. Ee Stil Another Knox Fire Sait. Still another loser in the Knox fire of the 24th of last July has entered suit against the Knox Express Company, Arthur Tripp suing to recover damages to the amount of $14,200. ‘The plaintiff alleges that on the 2 of July he stored with the company house- hold effects valued at that sum, and he charges that their destruction by fire was due to the negligence of the company in failing to prevent the introduction into the building of a gas motor. >, The Veterinary Association.

Buckingham reading a paper entitled “Tuberculosis of Cattle.” ‘The association will endeavor to have Congress, at the com. session pars a kb reculating the practice of veterinary medicine in the Dis- t.
