OF NO NATIONAL INPORT. The Administration View of the Recont Biections. FOUGHT ON LOCAL ISSUES, Not the First Time Ohio Has Been Aficted With Bowrbonism—Fed- eral Election Law Cham- plons Defoated. WasmixaTox Bureau Tre Osana Bres, FounTrexTi Wasnixatoy, D. €., Nov. 6, In offcial circles the result of the elec- tions yesterday is not regarded as navionally important. “The issues in avery state were local. Gen- oral Mahone hus simply demonstrated that the bourbons have sufoient hatred for the negro and himself to lead them to the most outrageous suppression of votes, intimida- tion and fraud, and there was no inconsider- . able defection of the Wise element of tho . party. The issue forced by theold line party there was Mahone aud anti-Mahone. Not a single national question was involved and vot 4 man in Virginia who worked for the defeat of the republican leader would listen to any other issue than the personal one. The lesson which the result teaches is ni- tioual, it is true, involving as it does the franchige of the Llack man, but the battle which brought it about was fought upon porsonal and local grounds. @Governor Foraker's administration and the quostion of a third term for a chief magistrate in that state were the issues in Ohio, The tariff, ewvil service reform and the many other planks of the republican national platform were not in sight during the heat of the battle which waged for a month or more, In addition, especially in Cincinnati, the liquor lords threw their business und their mouey and cfforts on the sude of democracy with characteristic ar- roganco and malignancy. The result. in Iowa creates more surprise here than the news from any other state, for the simple reason that the questions be- fore the people there? were in Wash ington obscure, and the further reason, that lowsn is regarded as a repudli stronghold that ‘cuntiot bo broken nto by the enemy under any conditions or circumstances, The ex- tension of the law controlling the liquor trafc to a point beyond the endurance of the majority, and n republican_candidate for governor who did not meet the anproval of tho graouger element, conspived to bring about a democratic victory. To talk of Obio and Iudiana being demo- eratic on the fuadamental issues thut divide partics is to talk nonsense. In Massachusetts, New York, and all states where there were elections held yesderday. local and especially porsonal issues con- trolled the voting, Had everything gone re- publican no attempt would have been mado o call it a republican victory beyond state lines, Inonly one instance has even the most rabid democrat made any effort to con- nect the election with President Hurrison’s admunistration. Now that the work is over soma democrats claim that Mahone was the administration’s candidate. Ttis said by them 1a was assisted by President Harri friends to secure the nommation and helh by all possible means in the campa the extent of a hearty endorsement of republican this is true. President Harrison doubtless endorsed General Matone's can- didacy in this sense and hoped for his election. He would have done this had any one of the thousands of good repub- deans in the Old Dominion been at the head of the ticket. But it is asabsurd even for the purposes of this claim to title the leader of the Virginia republican_campaign *“the ad- ministration's candidate” as it would be o ive the same title tosthe candidates in lowa, sachusetts or any of the other states. ‘Those wuo have made themselves familiar with the political history of Ohio are not at all surprised at the result, The democrats have carried tiie state without interruption at the election immediately following the selection of a republican president for many ears. ‘Thurman, Pendleton and Payne ave becn sent to the senate without a breai in the senate, without a break in the record, as o result of the ‘“oft year” elections parallel to that of yesterday. It is butg con- tinuation of the history Ohio has been making ever since the war, and there is no significance in it further than the contnu- ance of o democrat in the United States senate as a colleague to Shermau. He has had such a colleague for the bust twenty- four years. A DEATH BLOW. A death blow has probably beea dealt the proposition Lo enuct a federal election law the transactions at the polls in Virgmia terday. 1t bas been demonstrated, per adventure, that avy kind of a federal election law would be resisted to the exireme end in the south. Just 50 long as the larger proportion of colored men remain in the south and the pre- Judice exists there will be suppression of their votes by one means, if more conven- jent and other means if necessary, unless the federal government is ready o tuke up arms aund {ight for the rights it has piaced in the hanas of the blucks. The audvocates of the federal election law now in Washington say that it coulaonly be enforced by she presence at the polls of special deputy United States marshals or United States troops, and stern action by either of these representatives of federal authority would be disputed by the democrats, The “purging of tho registry’ and the keeping away from the polls of the black voters are the smallost of the crimes, 1t was dewmonstrated all through Virginia yesterday that by giving the White ~ man ,an opportunity to vote the moment he approached the voting precinct and keeping the black man in line all day until the polls closed was a most ef- fective mode of suppressing the colored vote, All sorts of dilatory questions and foolish cutechisms 1o colored voters wore applied 10r the purpose of killing time, so that when the hour ciume to close the polls the greatest number possible of colored voters would be left in line without exercising their fran- chise. ‘The first duty of & fedoral officor under a federal clection law'would be to sce that no ‘unnecessary delay wus permitted for the pu of preventing the black men from g, As soon us a federal oMicor would demand a cessation of these popular tacties thero would be collisions between state and federal autborities which would result ia t and bloodshed. It would be useless to wct o federal election law without strong sufeguards guarantecing a free bal- Jot. The moment & conflict was imminent n state and federal authorities the militia would apvear and little less than a revolution would follow. The colored men of the south can no mare defend their rights by force of arms than the womeoun of the country, At every voting precinet in Rich- mound, Norfoll, Petersburg and at various otkar large cities In Virginia yesterday were squads of polige in uniform and as many special police in citizens clothing. Quick punishment would have veen meted out to wolored men had they attempted at any time 10 forcibly assert their righ In the center of the bl helt were Jocated several companies of state militia in full uniform, under arws and subject to ju- stant command, It would only have been mecessary oiicers w0 have biown their whistles in order to bave culled futo action every one of these mulitiamen.

A Light Vote Polled—Unprocedented Soratohing—Varying Majorities ~The Democracy on Top —Complete Retarns. The Resalt, Completed unoficial returas from every voting precinct in Lais county are herewith presented to our regders, The total vote of the county foots up 12,605, This is less than 60 per cont of the actual voting population, and falls 9,000 be- low the vote of 1838, which brought out the full party strength on each side in a presi- dentaal election contest. Douglas county has this time gone democratic by noarly one thousand majority, But the general dissatisfaction with candidates of both partics caused an immense amount of scratching and an un- precedented variation in the vote received by differeat candidates. Thus, while Coburn is snowed urder by 2,500 majority, Megeath, democratic candidate for recorder, carries the county by about 1,300 and Snyder, for treasurer, by 400, Dr. Harrigan, for,coroner, 1s elected by about 100, and Berlin, ro- publican, carries the county over Barney McGinnis by about 500 Joseph Clarkson, the bar association can- didate for district judge, is handsomely en- dorsgd by over 1,600 majority in this county, THE JUDICIAL RETURNS, * Joseph R.

After induiging,ina good time with the money won by defeating Jack Dempsey, the Marine foliowed the beut of prize tighters and opened asaloon. Late last night Jack, with a party of friends, called on Lalslanche, and after a few rounds of drinks the “‘Nonpareil” said he wanted to ficht him again, us the Marine promised on the night of the fight in Aueust that he'd give Jack a chance to redeem his lost luurels. LaBlanche hemmed and hawed and finally said he didn’t propose to take chunces with anybody. . Dlempsey offered the Marine $§500 if he would ght. LaBlanche emphatically said he wouldn’t fight Demusey again when there were so many “duffers” around. Finally Demvsey said he believed the Cali- fornia Athletic elub could be induced to give a purse of $5,000 for the two. nen to meet again, and, if so, Jack would give $3,500 to LaBlanche1f the latter lost, only keeping $1,500 himself. ‘The Marioe didn’t fly at the offer, but said © would give his decision in a weeks. S e 5 THE HARLAN COUNTY FEUD. Judge Lewis Relates Jia Beginng and Ending. LousviLie, Nov. 6.—The Courier-Journal has received a letter from Judge Lewis, of Harlan county, regarding the recent troubles there, in which he says the reports have been greatly exaggerated. On October 19 John Howard was shot at by Finlay Smith for some reason. Howard, who was a brother of the motorious Wilson Howard, instead of waiting for the authori- ties to deal with Smith, sent word to his brother to eome and help him reek revenge ou the citizenes of Mount Pleasant. Wilson Howard appeared ou the scenenext day with a posse of seven men ana was joined by Ben- jamin Shurlock and party afterwaras, They anuvounced their intention to take pos- session of the court house and fieht the matter out. Judge Lewis summoned a posse, made an attack upon a portion of the gang who were fortified in a dwelling touse, killing one and wounding four. The re- mainder of the gang fled in utter disorder. The whole party of Howards then returned to Martin’s Fork, where Judge Lewis fol- iowed in a few duys. On the way William Clem and L. D. Hall, sympathizers of the Howard gang, were overtaken and ran away when calied upon to halt. They were fired upon and Hall was killed. The jurlge says he hus thirtv-seven warrants out against Shurlock and his men and that they have asked for peace. Foward and his chief lieutenant has left the country and the judge hopes the battle 1s over. THE ENGLISH sYNDICATE, It Now Seeks Invesuments In St. Paul Brewerics and Flour Mills.

Dss Moings, Ia,, Nov. 6.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Beg. |- Definite returns from | over eighty countics, and estimates on the remainder, indicate the election of Boies for governor by a plurality of 8,500. The bal- ance of the state ticket, except Hutchison, is probably elected, as he ,was badly cut by anti-prohibitionists and by others; in fact, he seems to haye been caught between the upper and the lower millstone, being scratched by extreme anti-prohibitionists and extremo railrosd men. All the fight of the enemy was made over him, and the rest of the ticket went clear. Speucer Smith, ral road commissioner, runs ahead, having, it is thought, enough of a lead to be elected.

Ho | suys that the pooular idea of the man | eater is wholly incorreci. He is com- | monly supposed 1o be “‘an old brate, more often decrepit than otherwise, perbaps lamed from some former wound, with h#s teeth broken and his | skin al s mangy, unable from his in- | irmities to kill game, but obl conceal himself near a village { then to pounce on some solitary human being and devour him, never attucking when there are more than two or three persons together, and always display- ing great cunning.”’ Sir Wiiliam Hunter takes this view, and describes the man-eater as ger ally an old beast, disabled from over- taking his usual prey, and who seqms imulate his tale of vietims in cruclty rather than for food. Siv William Hunter mentions & man-eater who was known to jhave killed 108 persons in three y and another which killed an we of 80 persons a year for the same pericd. A third used 18 villages to be abandoned and 250 square miles of land to be thrown out of cultivation. A fourth killed 127 person: roud fo: Mr. Gilbert, however. says that these views as to the man eater ure quite er- roncous, They ure not ditferent from the ordinary tiger, which lives ou game and bullocks, but he does not say why they become man-eaters. Sir Joseph Fayrer suggests that it is by the acci- t of having once tasted human flesh and then finding all other flesh insipid. Mr. Gilbert mentions cerwin famous man-eaters. One, a tigress, in the Nagpur distriet, has a fondness for the employes of the Bengal-Nugpur rail- way, frequents a tract of country only about nine square miles in area, and is sessed of extraordinary cunning and udacity. This e, Up to June. she 1ad killed seven ides wound- ing others. She lives in precipitous spur, in wh heavy bamboo and other jungle. Sev- eral springs of water riso atthe foot of the scarps, and there is a cave wh shows many signs of being used by her and her fam- ily. A bigstone just outside the en- trance is scored deep and long with many scratches of their claws. In Feb- ruary last, in broad daylight, she car: ried off one of a gang of permunent-wiy men from under the s of his coi panions. She has been shot at many imes and her cubs killed, but she has theless. Someétimes the man- es very long distances. Thus the Jaunsar man-eater, which was killed by an officer of the Forest depart- ment, after killing a man in owe place, would kill another twenty miles oll tho next uight. This one, also n tigress, frequented a belt of the Himalayas 5,000 to 10,000 feet high, and was eventually killed 8.000 feer above a. But none of the man-eaters re, Gilbort were decrepit or worn out. They strong. handsome beasts in their prime. Banana Laper. A new factor is entering the paper- makers’ market. It has been proved the banana plant contnins greater quantity of pure fibre than any other of the numerous: vegetable pro- ducts used for the manufacture of paper. During the first twelve months of its vegetation the plant produces but a single bunch of fruit, after which it dies; but from its roots four or ten young plants spring up. The adapta- Yion of the plant to commercial pure poges will, it is anticiputed, rovolution- ize the paper material market and largely affect the industry. The plunt is eusy of cultivation and has long since been recognized by the wandering tribes in Central America as yielding many useful adjuncts to every day do- mestic requiremen '’ M Ane Play ¢ Phe Turkish ambassudor in Paris has protested to the French government against the production of Di Bornier’s play of *Mahomet,” founded upon the life and adventures of the founder o Islam, which has been accepted by the Theater Franeaise.
