At a late hour last night the returns indicated a fiemocratic control on the basis vf demo- eratic gains in sound money <trongaolds.

In Pennsylvania less havoc was wrought with the republican congri delegation than was feared on ace the bitter fight against Quay. In 2} chusetts the democrats gained some seats, evidently from loc The controlled by ional unt of sa- n > will unquestionably the republicans, with 4 majority of more. They from New ware, and almost nia. West Virginia and Wisconsin, which, with the seats already secured from Mary- jand and Oregon, would give them fifty-one of the ninety seats in the upper house. ‘They have also poss! gained seats from Nebraska, Indiana orth Dakota and Mis- sourl. With these also added to their pres- ent holdings they would have fifty-five seats after March 4 next. They may have lost seats from Washington and Montana. The gain from Missouri is very question- able. Not enly does give to the re- publicans a clear majority for the first time since 1805, but it will probably give a seund money majority as well. The election of Roosevelt in New York as governor has at least temporarily de- Stroyed Croker’s hope of extending the Tammany power to the state. The major- ity for Roosevelt will probably be about 20,000, though the exact figure is as yet in question. He was elected by the votes of the up-state republicans, perhaps aided by se overwhelming pref. democrats, wh ence for the “fighting colonel” neauly overcame the traditional majority rolled up by Croker’s cohorts below the Bronx. Brook- lyn furnished somewhat of a surprise by the large majority it gave to Van Wyck, while New York city was a disappointment to the Tammany managers. Roos-veit was Cut in the larger cities of the state outside of New York, on account of the brewers ¢pposition to him and perhaps because of the canal issue.

The ‘They were very clearly defined, and there Was every reason why both should be heartily indorsed. The argument in favor of sound money wos as strong as when presented in 1806, and when it prevailed. The argument as to the war was most ccgent. Brilliant victories had been won under the admini direction on land and sex. and contention with the enemy brought to a speedy and triumphant ciose. What was the d therefore, of those who favored sound money and re- Joiced in the country’s martial achieve- ments? Clearly to support the candidates who stood cistinctiy and directly for she two issues involved. What we have as the result of yester- day's elections is in some cases as Mlogival &s it Is surprising. Sound money candi- Gates have been defeated in sound moncy localities, and apathy in a number of states leaves sentiment as to the war an open question there. We shall doubtless straighten these things out for ourselves in time, but ihe immediate effect of them both at home and abroad will not benefit the country. Europe in particular is likely to be misled. it is well to look things squarely in the face. We shall be the better off in the end by pursuing such @ policy. Frea silver has ration’s not triumphed, but sound money, because of local divisions and other causes, has not fared as rightfully it deserved. The ad- mintstration has by no means been r2buked as to any feature of the war with Spain, but its splendid successes on that issue have not been sufficiently recognized. But, while this is true of the situation genrally considered, the fact remains fhat the sound money men have gained control of the Senate and perhaps still hold the House, though by a narrow margin, in addition to scoring some notable local tri- umphs. The President's own state respond- ed handsomaly, and Maryland and New Jersey keep the places where on the finan- cial question they properly belong. The defeat ef Richard Croker in New York was richly des2rved. He demonstrat- ed the strong hold he has on the city, but the state rejects his assumption with re- spect to its affairs. Tammany 1s not to be permitted to intrench its foul self at Albany. The result is a triumph of com- mon deconcy as well as of high character. For, despite the fact that many worthy men supported, under the duress of party discipline, the Tammany candidate, it is yet true that every thimblerigger, doggery ke2per and brothel keeper in the great city heartily wished and worked for Richard Croker's success. ——_ 6 Theodore Roosevelt. Thecdore Roosevelt's election as governor of New York forms another advance in a career already well filled with achieve- ments. His public services have be2n un- remitting since he entered the New York legislature and impressed his vigorous per- sonality upon some of the statut2s then enacted. His work as civil service com- missioner was most beneficial to the cause of reform, and it was with regret that the enemies of the spoils system saw him d2- part for New York city to become a poli con:missioner. His work there was sur- r ded by many embarrassments and ob- stacles, for he was forced to put the police d>partment through the process of reorgan- ization after the thorough demoralization which it had experienced at the hands of Tammany. While he became unpupular with the thugs and biack-mailers, and loaf- ers on the police force, he won the high asteem of the better people. His service in the Department as assistant secre- tary was of exceptional value, by reason of his foresight and energy. It was en- tirely characteristic of the man that at the first call to arms he should hasten to the front, organizing on» of the most remark- military ever> known. combination of cow-be and million- aires, hard fighters and ardent patriota, won distinction by acts of gallantry and became an object ot world-wide attention. Col. Roosevelt showed that his courage was not contined to the facing of moral dangers and to charging on established corruption. His p2rsonal record in the wer is brilliant. He entered the New York campaign heavily handicapped with the unfortunate record of the state administration, with the canal scandal dragging him back and with the powerful Tammany machine to fight in the city. He has won handsomely, charact>ris- tically, and it is a fair proposition that he will give New York an honest, fearless, in- telligent administration, and that he will be the creature of no political boss and no clique. As a typical American citizen, Statesman and soldier Th2odure Roosevelt is worthy of the honors which have been given to him, each of them deserved and justified by his performances. ———_ +02 The Erratic Maria Tere: it would be consistent with her recent career if after all the cruiser Maria Teresa had im fact floated ashore in the West Indies and could ultimately be saved to this goy- ernment. She belonged, until a certain memorable date in July last, to a squadron h was for a time famous for its un- certainties. Its course across the Atlantic, into the Caribbean sea and finally after much question as to its whereabouts into Santiagc harbor marked it as one of the most uncertain assemblages of naval ves- sels ever sent forth on a hostile errand. cven after it had hidden itself in Santiago bay it was a subject for very pointed in- quiry in Ame n naval circle: Cervera acquired a reputation as a naval prestidigi- tator seldom enjoyed by a commander at sea. As flag-ship of the squadron the Maria Teresa was of course at the head and front in these maneuverings and dou- | bungs. She was unfortunate in the fight- ing July 3, as were the other members of the squadron. Her commander ran her shore and sought to prevent her from be. coming part of the spoils of war. But the shrewd Yankee ship-wrignts raised her and repaired her and then sent her oft headed tor Norfolk to be put in condition for j tive service under the stars and strip Then she turned erratic, opened seam a heavy sea, shipped water and bega: settle so rapidly atsea. It was in to that she was abandoned erally supposed that she was lost forever, that she had gone to tie bottom of the ocean, and on all sides were rounds of bewailing because of the lost chance to add to the American navy one of the finest specimens of Spanish aval ar- chitecture as a tropny of the war, or as @ purtial replacement of the Maine. But new comes word, more ond more strongly forti- fied, that the Teresa may not have gone to the bottom, but may have gone ashore on Cat Island in such position as to permit her to be saved and brought to Us coun- try. This would indeed be a desirable out- come of the record of the ups and downs of the erratic Maria Teresa. ————_+ es —____ If the war brought on by the Spaniards has helped to give New York a genuine reform government their commisstoners at Paris will of course ask to have it con- sidered in the bill. +--+ Governor Pingree and Governor Roose- velt will be able to exchange assurances to the effect that it often pays to be fearless and independent in politics. ——E Mr. Hill's advice to knock down anybody who tried to interfere with a voter's rights appears to have been merely an elaborate bit of emotional acting. ——_ + += —__.

One of the disappointing features of the election results in New York city is the de- feat of the honest judiciary ticket, headed by Judge Daly. The handicap of Tammany ecntrol of the city was too grat to be overcome. There was unquestionably a strong sentiment among the better classes of citizens for the rebuke of Tammany by the election of the jurist who had ben “turned down” because he would not obey the behests of the boss, but a question arises as to whether ft went so far as anti- party voting. The rousing me>tings held in favor of Judge Daly as symbolical of the protest against Tammany control of the courts showed the character of the pro- test. One of the peculiar features of this movement was that it was aided by men who at the same time announced their in- tention of supporting the Van Wyck state ticket. It now appears. that the average piuralities against the Daily judicial ticket Tun about 6,000 less than those given to Van Wyck. This fact suggests that there were only 6,000 democrats who cut th3 state ticket In voting for the judges. If so, the meetings must have represented prac tically all of the democratic sentiment in favor of rebuking Crok>r. As a rule, such meetings are suggestive of far deeper cur- rents of feeling than are to be measured by the mere attendanc>. Unless this were the case, the democratic voters who sym- pathized with the Daly movement were afraid to depart from the cours? of straight balloting, for fear of invalidating their votes by incorrect marking. The Aus- tralian ballot system tends thus, to a cer- tain extent, to prevent inter-party voting. The fight against Judge Daly was hitterly conducted by Croker and his cohorts. Th2re Was as much intense feeling shown in this campaign as in the main struggle for the governorship. In all likelihood Daly was smothered by the faithful following which ccnstitutes the strength of Tammany Hall, which, without regard for questions of merals, without ref»rence to personal quall- fications, obeys the will of the man in power and votes the straight ticket. But it is not to be believed that this course will help the organization, or that the victory will be profitable. Such winnings are sure to react. —___ + = ___.

The men who were elected will sooner or nates be sworn in and the great ma- chinery of seif-government will continue to run without it:terruption until another elec- tion comes alcng to disturb matters. Now is the time for every man of business to forget politics and to resume a strict at- tention to business. The signs of the times are encouraging and there is much to be done. The consumption of the necessaries of life goes on and the manufacturers and the merchants have to make the best of the main chance. No matter who Its elected the people have to live. They have to work, to eat, to wear clothes, to buy household goods, te run shops and manage stores. There 1s uo ces- sation of work in the great arteries of trade. The temporary diversion of a short campaign—and for that there is much for gratitude—should inspire renewed energy now that the regulation “smoke” has cleared away. There is every encouragement to take u: the thread of trade now and to push for ward with energy and determination. No worker can afford to be sluggish. It is nec- essary to keep on going. The way to im- prove business is for the merchants to ad- vertise and for the consumers to buy. Live and let live is the motto to adopt. ————_ + - = —_____ The Excuse for lIuterference. From the Philadelphia Press. The 2xcuse made for the interference of the Grace syndicate in the Nicaraguan canal project, to the effect that a New York bank might make $1,000,000 if the old canal company’s concession were car- ried through, is too puerile for discussion. The value of th? stock of the Maritime Canal Company will depend on the action of Congress. It has never been proposed in ‘Congress to pay par for the stock. The Grace syndicate has evidently gone into the matt2r with the hope of making money out of the United States government and not with the object of building the canal. It is financially no better equipped for that purpose than is the Maritime Canal Company. The canal will be built by the United Stat2s government, and speculators mistake very much if they think that there ig “millions in it” for them, Men of bust- “If they’re Rich’s shoes they’ re proper.” i ’ Ten-two F.
