GENERAL PALMER will not be the next United States senator chosen by the legislature of Illinois. The next as- sembly of that state will be republican, 80 that a republican successor to Sena- tor Farwell will be elected at the next session.

In some of those states this is shown inlarge democratic in othors it appears in the alli- vole, which very generally greatly excee s hi t estimates of the old party managers, In either the democritic has profited, and its success is ono of the most notable in the history of American politics. Tt Line not only elected o mujority of repre tatives to the Fift ond eon . result not unex pected, since it has been the rule for an administration to eith lose its second congress or ha its majority in the popular branch materially reduced, but it has carried states which have been counted among the most secure in the publican column, while nowhere huve republicans been successful by the former majoritic The result very strikingly shows how easily a lurge ole- ment of the American people fer their support from one party to other. There is ulways a vast number of voters who form their convictions of political duty regardless of the dic- tum of the party. This year the num- berof suich would seem to have been grenter than ever before. In secking an explanation of the not- able results of Tuosday’s clection, local s well us national enuses must be con- sidered, Politicians of the successful party will aseribo their victories to th popular disapproval of the tariff gislation of the republican congress, o1 urse of the spenker of the house of ntatives, and to the general pol- the republican majority in con- gress. But while these had their influ- ence, were not ive in determining results, The election of a democratic governor in Pennsylvania waus due chie \l.\4 if not wholly, to the fact that hisopponent has an unclean record in public life and owed his nominationto a system of bossism which thousands of sincore vepublicans felt called upon to rebuke. They prefersed a demosrat of honorable record, who was not the ean- didate of n boss, toa republican who had dishonored his party and was the creature the political machine dominated by one man, himsclf charged with grave offenses as a public oficial. Undoubtedly the great majority of tha republicans who voted for Mr. Pattison in full symputhy with the tariff policy of their party. assachusetts the election of a demo- wtic governor was also largely due to while national questions calmost wholly lost sight of in W consin. In short, ‘the contests for state ofticers generally were affected far more by state than national issues. This was the casein Nebraska, The influence of the tariff question with the people is to be found in the re- sults of the congressional elections, and these certainly indicate a great dealof dissatisfaction with the new tariff poliey. The most significant ¢ pression of the popular dis- aporoval s the loss of ro- publican districts in the west. This cannot fairly be interpreted as meaning that the western peoplo are hostile to protection. They are not, and the peo- ple of nosection of the country would more overwhelmingly reject the free trade doctrines of the democratic party. But, on the 1d, they do not seo the wisdom or necessity of incres duties on a large number of articles of common use alvendy sufficiently pro- tected to vender their manufacture so- cure against loss from foreign com peti- tion, and the added tariff charges on which would be simply a tribute taken from the people and handed over to the manufacturers, The western constituencies that have elected demoer representatives to succeed republicans have made a protest not egainst a judicious and just system of protection necessary to the defonse of American industries and American labor, but nst a policy the effect of which will be to unduly enhance the cost of many necessities to the people in the interest of monopolies and trusts, The result of the elections affords lit- tle ground for the glorification of the democratic party. The hundreds of thousunds of republicans whose disafTec- tion has enabled the democracy to achieve success far beyond its expocta- tions have uot thereby approved the courso und policy of that party. They have not sanctioned its ob- structive and filibustering tactics in congress, its freo trade tendencies, nor its policy of depriving citizens in nearly one-third of the states of the union of their political rights. The republican defection from which the democratic party has so largely profited was in- tended as a lesson of instruction and warning to the republican party, and if the loaders of the party accept it as such the recovery of all that has been lost to the republicans will not be a diffi- cult matter two years hence, THE MISTAKE OF THE ALLTANCE. If the leaders of the Parmers’ Allianco had been as wise asthey were enthusi tic, aman of their choosing would day be governor-clect of Nebraska, More than that, the principles and pur- poses of their movement would have been vitally impressed upon the politics of the west and the attention of the country. The success of the movement would have been complete, wherons it is now indefinite if not doubtful An analysis of THE Bk returns shows that four-fifths of Mr. Powers’ supporters were drawn from the ranks of the republicans. Beyond all question the republican farmers who votad for Powers, and those who sympathized with them while remaining true to Richards, were in a positiou to control the vepublican party in this state pre- viousto the Lincoln conventionof July 2: They might have framed its platform and” dictated its nominations, If they had done so both would have been trivmphant today. On January 1, 1891, the representatives of the moyement would have entered into control of every de- partment of the state government. The result would have been a triumph for their eause, speady and complete. They would also have sent three mem- bers to congress who truly represented the producors and have given a new and positive impulse to the covise of elections, gainsg ance case the ¢ repr icyof alone oper: of other sing to- From such results os 2d whatever wostern politics, these they would hav o od ean be obtained from the pol they advoeate, This the opportu- nity open to the allianes lealers, but they sought success by amore devious path. The probable outcoma the cho of a domocratic or by n minority of the people. such a result the atliance achieves ad for its cause, it must be by indirec- tion and aftor long delay. What it has ificed is direct and instant success. With a feeling far from el but with sincare concern for the int of the producers, Tite BEE reminds its readers that it adily predicted what has happened. It cannot be that the four-fifths of the alliance who came out of the republican ranks to support Powers are well pleased with the result, If they had preferred a democratic ad- ministration to a republican there were casier and surer methods of getting it What they confidently hoped to do was to elect John . Powers, They have de- feated L. D. Richards and elected James . Boyd, unless present indications faul, Insuch a resut democrats may well rejoice. Tt is for them a phenomenal op- portunity, rarer far than aday in June But what does it availfor the cause of the honest and earnest men who have been agitating and for many months and who turned aside fromareal opportunity to grasp at a winbow? The future will show. ios is ™ govor any tion, orgunizing CREDIT T0 WHOM CREDIT 1S DU The citizens of Omaha and the people of Nebraska will forever remain in- debted to Hon. John L. Webstor for the invaluable service ho has rendered in warding off the blight of prohibition. From the v cutset he took a bold and uncompromising stand aguinst tho pernicious de with which among leading men at the bur no other 1 willing o grapple. Hedevoted and months of precious time the searching study of the prac operation of prohibition and hismasterly handling of the subject before the thousands that thered at the great Beatrice and ad Island debates, coupled with his subsequent speeches in the leading cities of D Dbraska, contributed very lavgoly toward turning the tide of misguided zoal for prohibition. Ion. Edward P. Roggen, mizer of the Business Bankers' association, s also titled to great credit for the efficient wol that culminat in the overwhelming defeat of prohibition. As an organizer he proved himself to be peerless in a contest in which the oppo- sition had greater vesources in money and volunteers and had the backing of hundreds of clergymenand the Women Christinn Temperance Union with its compact organization in every city and villag Although Mr. Roggen had been in public life for sixtoen years and had been honored with the second hest oftice within the gift. of the people during two terms, he was mercilessly and shamofully abused and villified from every rostrum, pulpit and stump, pelted with mud by every blackmailing villain ~ who failed to extort money from the business men's assoclation, and by over mercenary hireling who can to redeem Nebraska for the revenue th was in it. It is true Mr. Roggen was paid for his se s, but the allow- ance was more than offset by the loss he incurrved in leaving his business in in the hands of outsiders for more than X months. It goes without saying that the oflic of the Business Men’s and Bankers’ association in Omaha and throughout Nebraska are each and every one e titled to due credit for the unselfish ar efficient work they have done in defense of the material welfare of this state. Last but by no means least great credit is due to the Personal Rights League with its compact organization of volun- teer workers under the lead of its state president, Mr, Touis Heimrod and the officers associated with him, chief and en- the Men's TH ‘ammany over the combination of forces ar; d against it was expected, but itis none the less a matter of reg The effort to over- throw that politieal organization was prompted by the desire of the better classes of New Yorkeity to be relieved of conditious which have for years been steadily growing more oppressive and obnoxious, and its suc would have done much for political reform and for honest municipal government. The vic tory of such a political oligarch Tammany is, under the circumst; notwithstanding the fact that it is firmly intrenched in command of every resource necessaty in a political contest, most unfortunate, tend- ing to encourage the adoption and prac- tic cess has been attained, while casting an unfavorable roflection upon a political system under which such an organiz- tion is enabled to maintain its power The effect of its victory will undoubt- edly be to make Tammany more arro- gant in its policy, with the necessar: sult of increasing the causes of com- plaint which united the most reputable men of both the republican and demo- cratie parties in an effort to reliove sw Yorkot its corrapt and despoti rule, and as well to give it grea power in directing the policy of democracy in state affaire ‘et the THEestablishment of direct registered mail service between Omaha and New Orleans is yuggestive.

It is no uncommon thing for passengers on the late night trains to be annoyed and insulted by persons so far under the influence of liquor as to be almost crazy. Regular putrons of the late trains on the Sixth avenue line, for example, have come to regard the pres- ence of one or more disorderly persons in each car as an unavoidable feature of a trip either up or down town.

You Press the Key and the Typograph Does the Rest, HOW THE NEW YORK SUN IS MADE. An Operation which Would Made the Inventor of Types Shiver with an Apprehension of Witcheralt, Have OIf Johan Gutenberg, who is sid to have invented tho art of printing, had strolled up Park Row and, actuated by motives of curiosity, wandered into an office not & hundred feet from the New York Sun building, simply to see how his art had got along after his death, the chances are that he would have received ashock of astonishment that would have made him gasp, Ho would ha nu young man wearing o Derby hat and a diamond searf pin, gently tapping somo lettered k on a machine that looked something like the framework of a gircl's corset, and if he had asked him w he was doing the youngman would have ro- plied: “I'msetting type: And this would probably have seared old man Gutenherg back to death, The queer looking machine was R 8ty oh, named after {ts in- ventor, Prof. John R, Rogers, It seemed the easiest thing in the 1d to operate it. All that was ne ¥ was to press nding to the letter that you wanted, and then another key, and another, until you had finished aline, then touch o lever, and there you had your writing set up in a solid line of brand new type, manufactured on the spot. It isa wonderful machine, and a Sun reporter spent an hour yesterday in examining it. A desc of it in technical language would be as diflicult for the reporter to write as it would I for the reader to understand. So here's what it looks like to a layman: The whole affair, in the first rests on the floor four feet square, and is four and a-half feet high, It weighs 450 pounds. At the first sight it is seen that there are two distinet parts, the body a mass of iron and steel, and the upper , anetwork of wires, which,with its keyboard, looks something like o big typewriter. In the bowels of the ma- chine the reporter could see a blue flume surrounding the mouth of a small black pipe. The keyboard was almost the same as thatof an ordinary typewriter, excepting in th angement of the let- ters and in the size of the ke When youpressed a key it sank down into a hole inthe board, Connected with the lower end of each key was a sUiff wire whichh extended back about eighteen inches, and from the outer end of this wire dangled strips of metal which looked lilkke tha steels of a corset, only they were notched along the side. These ave the features of the machine which first strike the observer. When the re- porter looked more closely ho found an intricate maze of wheels and levers and bars and moulds and cutting machines, But complicated as the machine looked, its working was very simple and could be learned in a few minutes. The dangling strips at the buck of the machine were matrices. In the steel side of each was the perfect impression of a_printed letter, from which a typo could bemade. At the end of each stiff wire hung several matrices containing a certain letter, but the letter was diftc ent on every wir For instan the endof one wire hung perl dozen matrices, all containing a of the letter “e,” and another wi tained 1nulrim-.~< of the letter ‘e, and so on, the number of matrices of each let- ter depending on the frequency with which that letter oceurs in anaverage sentence, Thus there would be l\\m\n or thirteen “e's™ for three or four *'x's.™ In another part of the machine is a wire which contains a lot of peculiarly shaped discs of metal which areusod for spacing the words, These will be explained later on. The ki board is about one foot wide,and the stifl wires ns they emerge from it cov- er about that space. Now, these wires spread out and extend upward and out- sothatat the end from whichthe matrices hang they form almost a semi- circle, with the diameter parallel with theedge of the keyboard. This gives wires a slant, and when the ma- J 1 it slides down the wire T'hat Vs W akey correspe iption place, at s a0 mould s con- -y bonrd, much for the upper part, The back pipe, the mouth trudes from the hot flame of a aus a lamp, or whatever may be used nects with an ivon box ‘which is filled with molten type metal, This is 80 ar- ranged that whe vod in_ the back of the machine is revolved it squirs a m of silvery - liquid through the whic pipe. And now for the working of the ma- chine. Fastened to an iron st front of the machine wus a justlilce those used on bicycles. C. Ruthrautithe vice president anc oral manager of the Rogers Typo, company, who was explaining things to a reporter, usked I down here and to set some type Hedid notask if the reporter knéw anything aboul typesetting.
