The political myslery hi New York will he solved next Tuesday uiglit. It is a simple one, aurftln or the; imeAtion whetlter the lioneut, non-partiPun votera of the :oPirojxlls are to have a man tor mayor who represents pood government and the o.wci.c of the moiihter com munity' , rKwer aud imtronage for the iwoefitor the people, or whether the Tarn many candidate of the ilcKmlej-Croker-Plstl cou'lanc is to fasten the Ills of cor ruption and public plunder upon the city for ac next foar yeur&. OUierwh the situation has cleared up wonderfolly. AfO-r .struggling for a few days to make it appear that the Tetlentl Administration wa not interfering, through Ote Piatt mnehlne, to aid Croker, evidence of the fact became so fctrong that the mask was thrown aside, and now the na tional offioc-hnklero openly are urging ad htreat of the Easy Boss to cast their voieo for Van Wyck, in the hope of elect ing him aud thereby killing off any chance there might be that Seth Low would he come a dangeious aspirant for the Re publican Presidential nomination before the next national convention of the party. Pahlic fecntiiuent In New York is out raged by the unconcealed effort now b iugrnade by the Administration to bolster up tlie falling iMilitieal fortunes of one w'wrn Jiry George boldly denounces as a "plain !ilef and blackmailer." As on-j of tiie results, there is a wholesale bolt of former machine Bupubiicaiis to Low. Added to this moemcnt, the German ele ment has dfdared against bossism and m favor or the Citizens' Union candidate. PlattV and Cr4ker'h bushiest men are melt ing away hi the ame direction like fcugar under a stream of "water. In the face of the dangers to the dig nity and prosperity of the municipality which tlie combination of Mr. McKinley with Croker and Piatt eunies with it, partisan iHtlltio have been lorgottea, and the only issue left is one of decencj it against criminality. The exchanges, the wlwliale districts and the bufciness in terests generally of Manhattan Island and IJrooklyn practically are solid for Seth Low. Given a lair count, and it would seem probable today that Low will be elected by at least a fair plurality. It J cannot be said that it would be caife di rectly to predict uch a result. A large corruption fwid and State anil Federal patronage and placemen are arrayed la support of Crokei. Eerj thing that trick ery, chloannry, bribery can do and all other Dlegitiinate means aud methods in use by the machine will be resorted to hi order to compass the defeat of the people. But if the respectubilitj and manhood of New York can be consolidated, even approM irately, against the bosses. The victor for good govern loont will be won, and Seth Low will be the first mayor of Greater New York. Tn 1 her lro.pects in Indln. Evidences are multiplying that the trou ble in northern India ib far more serious than the British officials or pree hae dared to admit. The British force, under Sir William Lnckliart, and amounting to about 60,000 men, is encountering an extent and kind of resistance by no means anticipated The tribesmen are -well o--ganired, amply supplied -with arms and ammunition, and appear to bo veiy ef noiently officered- They fight, not only fiercely, but, the English commander think, with a degree of mihtarv forma tion and action that bespeaks the presence ot trained soldiers among their imnibers in this connection it is useful to nolo ihat there is a very unhappy condition of mind in Simla and in London, regarding -ivliat Russia may have in contemplation. Tor some years tu.t power ha been build ing transports bv the score. With thvse, it is said that Russia could convey au army of 200 000 or more men across the Black Sea. an J then, by uaii.g the Trans CaucaMiu and Bagheslai! railways, place them on the Afghan frontier long before Great Britain could assemble a.ny adequate force to meet the attack. Iu Russia, it is an open Ixiast that, when the time shall come, the Ameer or Afghanistan will be found in alliance -with the Czar against John Bull. Almost daily it is possible to discover new reasons why fJreat Britain would'finS it convenient to tie the hands of Ameiica -with a gmenil arbitration treat-. Peculiar Suicides. A grewsome interest attaches to the causes for commuting suicide, and that is probably the reason "why in dispatches from the various corners of our country curious reasons are often alleced for this act- We see headlines stating that .some body has commiUed suicide because las mother would not let him go to tht circus, or because his -wiff had persisted in eating onions, or because she was cbliged to go to srhoo another year, or -was scolded bv her stepmotl.tr. or .something like that, and thos or the human rate -vho have lived through n ost or these trials and not destried ll.cniseUes aie apt to ay.

Thisja something like the argument al luded to bj Mark Twain, when he mudo one of hid hnracters say: "Suppose a man slumped his toe. and Tell down the t ell , and had cholera morbus, and chicken pox, and ocarh-b feer. and consumption, and died, and people should ask why ho died, and lilt, folks should s-iy, "'Why, he stumped his toe!'Tam'i raluraV A man tuny commit suicide, and the crime may bo chaiged up to the fact tliitt he stumped his toe, but there is usiudlv Mine reason besides that.

But jt wasn't that; it was a long train of causes behind that, aud possi bly some cause with A.'hlch the front door and the scolding had nothing whatever to do And oxne tly the same thing may hap pen to a man, only not frequently, lie cause he is Jess often subjected to tlie ex perience of i.einsr cooped up day and night, for weeks at a 1une with persons -whom lie dot not I'ke, and who claim anthorltj over him; and thus his nerves aie not so apL to get into a morbid and disarranged state of melanclmlia. A constant re currence of small annoyances without any small pica sun .s is much more trying than a great trouble to some natures. And this Is the wj .vlth a considerable percentage or these siaijiL.s which are ascribed to the fact that the deceased "mumped his toe."

Congress man Mahon, of this place, has -solved the problem, which has been puzzling many Republican Congressmen, how to get rid ot Democratic boards ot penblon examiners protected under civil bervice rules. He did it by having the board hero abolished, and by instituting a new board at Green castle, in the southern end ot the county, near the Maryland line. This was done at his solicitation by orders from the de partment at Washington. The bolld Democratic board here was protected by the civil service rules, and the Cleveland appointees could not ha6 been removed exeeptron charges. Republican politicians wanted tlie places and they" got them to day. In a short? time It will likely be found that it is convenient to have the board sit away from the county seat, and that it must come back, to Chambersburg, but by the time. that is discovered the Republi cans will le eecure in their places. Con gressman Mahon will have a good storv ot practical politics to tell his Re publican brethren ou the first Monday in December. , THE XEBHASKA CAMPAIGX.

He declared that Innocent men had been lynched iu tills State, and said there was 110 Justification or excuse for a resort to mob violence, even m caees where the defendant is chRTged with the most das tardly and horrible of crimes. He said "This barbarous practice does not de crease, but increases, crime. Having eialncd their hands in blood, Its perpetrn tms nre more easily led to again -violate the law." The most -Sensational part of the mps sage was the governor's 'recommendation of legislation along this line. He said" "That it may be ascertained whether or not the officer having the prisoner in custody does his full duty in every In stance, I recommend tin- passage ot a law requiring a thorough investigation in every case and providing adequate punish ment when he falls short of the full measure of his duty in protecting his prisoner. When thi Is done he should be ineligible to election or appointment to any orfice until his disabilities are re moved by the general assembly. The ad ministrator or family or a party taken from the custody of an orf icer and killed sliould be authorized to recover from the county the full value or the life, which In no case .should he less than $1,000." The governor further recommends that prisoners attacked by mobs be unshackled, armed with a gun by the law and re quested to defend themselves. KXOWS JJOW TO IILECTTOXEER. A Kaiisiet.
