i! I I Che democrat. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16,1891). OFFOIAL *APBH OP OITV AND OOUNTY No matter what the imperialistic press may say about election returns, the declaration of independence is still true and the golden rule has yet a.place in the heartB of the American people. No matter how the contest for gov ernor is decided in Kentucky, the legis lature is democratic in both branches, and Joe Blackburn will be the next United States senator from that state. The suit for damages for libel brought by James J. Phelan against wthe New York World for certain charg es made by that paper against the plaintiff as a dock commissioner of New York has resulted in a verdict for :plaintitf. The jury awards him dam- 1 ages to the amount of six cents. asked for 875,000. Hannalsm, which represents brutal ity in politics, was repudiated by a ma. jority of 50,000 in Ohio. The failure of the opposition to Hannaism to unite re suited in the election of the Hanna candidates, bat the fact that so large a majority of the electors refused to sup port the McKinlev administration, in McKinley's own state, will have its effect upon imperialism at the coming session of congress. The British discovery that the Boers are illiterate, backward, uncivilized and in need of upliftment by process of benevolent assimilation began with the discovery of the gold Held in the Transvaal, and has progressed with -the development of the field's resources. When a weak country has anything warfts, England never fails to discover a reason for seizing the object of her desire and crushing those who oppose her. When a strong country has a dis pute with England, England always arbitrates.—Dubuque'Telegraph. Ohio's Vote Next Year. [Dos Moines Leader.] The fly in the Ohio ltepublican oint ment is the JoneB vote. Nash has a plurality of 45,000 over McLean, but Jones has upwards of 100,000 votes, It cannot be claimed that these ones votes indicate confidence in republican politics, for Jones is more radical than the regular democrats. How will these Jones voters'be next year After -man has once exercised his indepen dence and scratched a ticket he finds It more easy to do it again. A Pitiful War. [Utlca Observer.] The English nation will bring to the front a sufficient force to crush the Boers, but before they do it there will be many a wound made in the British ranks, for the people who have fought their way through half of Africa against savageB and wild beasts are no mean foes. In a few months their re sources will be exhausted and they must surrender. It may be that some considerable portion of the old men and women and children will again sue coed in trekking farther into the inter ior of the dark continent, but it is not lrobable. It is in some respects one of the saddeBt and, most pitiful jwaia of history."" Bryan's Summary of Result a)f centElections. Just before starting from St. Louis for a hunting trip in Arkansas and Texas, Mr. Bryan issued a statement giving bis views on the reault of the recent elections from which we extract the following: "In Massachusetts and Pennsylvania where the democrats reaffirmed the Chicago platform, I find that they have made gainB, while in New York and New Jersey the republican vote shows a falling off. Maryland is now safely democratic. "ThereBult in Kentucky does not give any encouragement to the repub Means. The latest returns show that the contest between Mr. Goebel and Mr. Taylor is vory close. The democrats claim the election of Goebel and the entire state ticket by small pluralities The legislature iB safely democratic in both branches and the election of Black burn to succeed Lindsay is assured, No one who has watched the con tost will doubt that with democracy united on national issues Kentucky can be re lied upon for a majority of 20,000 or 30 000. "What consolation can republi cans draw from the Ohio election? Mr. lianna secured the nomination of his candidate for governor upon a platform indorsing the republican administration And while it appears that Nash has a plurality of about 50,000 over McLean, McLean and Jones together have a majority of something like 50,000 over the republican candidate. McLean ran upon a platform emphatically indorsing the Chicago platform and condemning trusts, militarism and imperialism, and he made a gallant light againBt great odds. The Jones vote is anti-republi can. "The Nebraska campaign was fought on national issues and the fusion can didate for judge received about 14,000 this year, as against 3,000 last year for the fusion candidate for governor, and 13,000 for the fusion electors in 18iH and the fusion candidate for judge in 1897. The fusionists made a net gain of three district judges and a large gain in county officers. "Taken as a whole, the election re turns from all the states give encour agement to those who hope for the over throw of the republican party in 11100. It is evident that those who believed in the Chicago platform in 18W5 still be lieve in it. It is also evident that the hostility to the Chicago platform among thoBe who opposed it is not as pro nounced as it was in 1896. If the re buke administered to the republicans ww at the polls had beon more severe the svfi prospect of remedial legislation at the hands of republicans would be brighter. While it was sufficient to indicate that the people are not satisfied with the re publican policies it may not have been sufficient to Btay the course of the re publican party toward plutocracy and toward the European idea of a gov ernment built upon force rather than upon tbe consent of the governed—a m\ government relying for its safety upon a large standing army rather than upon *. citizen Boldlery, fc-4 4,M "-. fV'-- "-. fV'-- Elk..... 175 Uarlvllle.. 14?

The force of running, water was the primitive source of motive -power. It does not waBte Sheriff I TOWNSHIPS AND 1\-.E3IXCTS. TOWNSHIPS AND 1\-.E3IXCTS. or otherwise destwjithe worth of its raw material. It is fur nished practically free and in good working order by the bounteous hand of nature. It is the cheapest of all forms of force. When James Watt perfected the compound steam engine In the closing yearB County Supt. Schools of the eighteenth century the industrial revolution came about mainly Jecause water power was t^Timflfatlttti of -plate. Another Bcarcely less important chaugu is now imminent, and the pendulum Swings back. Electrical discovery has made the transmission of force for con siderable distances a perfectly easy ^problem. Whether or. not power as generated at the mouths of collieries, transformed into current and sent on *a swift journey to distant places, can be made a generally commercial fact, this new abolition of the laws of space is certain with respect to the force of flowing water. The enormous power plant at Niagara Falls, the similar pro ject on foot at Snogualmie Kails, Wash ington, which tbe citizens of Seattle be lieve will transform their city into the Pittsburg of the Pacific slope the plans to convert'into power the Genesee falls at Rochester, N. Y. the falls of the Passaic and the rapids of the Salt Ste Marie—these are some of the notable projects now in Bight. Still more im portant than this, just as the vaBt mul titude of small things surpass in bulk the. volume of a few great thingB, is the utilization of tlio countless minor water powers in the east, the south, and Borne sections of the west. The aim is not only to drive manufacturing plants and incidentally light Bmail villages as well as larger townB, but to furnish motive power for freight and passen ger railways. Where a good water head occurs every few miles power sta tions for roads of considerable length are easily and economically xupplied. The road bed and equipment of such a road are less than two thirds of the cost as compared with the cost of steam roads. Still more significant is the fact that the expense of operation is even more diminished. The loss of power by induction will not average more than twenty per cent. Tbe IOSB in transformation of fuel into energy multiplies this by four. Keen speculation in buying water power is springing up. Electric rail ways, paralleling existing steam roads and using either the trolley or the third rail, are rapidly building in New Eng land. New and hitherto impracticable routes are under discussion. Similar projects are agitating southern capital lsts. The practical Bide of the question has passed experiment. It needB no daring imagination to foresee vast re sults and changes in the centers and methods of industrial distribution. There is no outlook of mechanical pro gress more glowing. Great trunk lines will probably continue to depend on Bteam, but with the tremendous subsi diary mileage the presumption changes.

Both sides still claim victory, the state chairman of each party asserting that his ticket has a plurality ot about 4, 000. Newspaper returns from Repub lican sources give Taylor a plurality of 8,438, while those from Democratic sources make Goebel's plurality 941. These latter cover all but thirty-live precincts in the state, although sev eral reportB rfom counties give esti mated pluralities instead of actual. Of the missing precincts Ave are In Louis ville, which went Republican this year, twenty are in strong Republican counties, and ten are in strong Demo cratic counties. 'Feeling among the factions has been aggravated rather than allayed by the developments since Tuesday.

In front of the Capitol hotel he delivered a fiery impromptu speech to a knot of listeners, in which he vaguely liluted at taking the gov ernor's chnlr. He said: "I believe I have been electcd. Tay lor says he assumes the responsibility, but I say to you that the people of Kentucky are doing the assuming. We shull liave four years of Democratic rule by the common people. It will not be nu administration of bayouets, such as Bill Bradley insists upon." Ex-Senator Blackburn Thursday morning said he had raised his claim of a Goebel majority, nu'Ing be was now conlideut It would go over 3,000. He also says the majority In the legis lature on joint ballot will be about tliirty-flvc Instead of tweuty-flve, as claimed Wednesday night, several Democrats having been elected In counties at lirst thought to be Repub lican. Governor Bradley insists that Tajlor has been elected by 10,000. He refuses to discuss what plans he has to prevent trouble should it arise. HAWKKYK STATE RETURNS. Republlcau. Say Shaw's Plurality Is 61, OOO—Democrat* Concede 50,OOO. Des Moines, la., Nov. 9.—Election re turns came in slowly but continued to be more favorable to Republicans. Governor Shaw's (ltep.) plurality Is now declared to be 61,000 by the Re publican committee, the Democrats conceding 60,000. Comparison with the vote of two years ago shows Re publican gains although tbe vote Is much lighter than then. Several coun ties heretofore Democratic, notably Monroe, have given good sized Repub lican pluralities. The sixty-seven coun ties so far reported give Shaw a plu rality of 40,301. Twenty-three coun ties are yet to be heard from. The Indications point to Republican gains In the lower bouse of the legis lature. Cummins, candidate for Unit ed States senate, claims he will have a clear majority In the liouse and that the senate will he evenly divided be tween himself and his chief opponent, Gear. The Indications are that the result of the senatorial contest will not be decided by Tuesday's election and that the nomination will depend on the legislative caucus In Junuary.
