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.

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

the discovery of the gold Held in the

When a weak country has anything

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

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.

It now looks as though Hanna could

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 11.—The uncer
tainty regarding the result of Tues
day's election In this state Is not likely
to be removed for some time. 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. Excited
meetings are being held In many parts
of the state to protest against frauds
which it is alleged are^contemplated
by the leaders. Nothing sltert of the

The Western Union has issued its

saying that with complete returns
from ninety-four counties and nearly
complete from twenty-three others,
Taylor's plurality is 1,382. The two

GOEBEL HINTS AT FORCE.
Blackburn Raises Hi. Estimate of the
Goebel Vote*
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 9.—Senator
William Goebel has arrived here and
is now In conference with the cam
paign leaders. 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.

"Kentucky—With complete returns

deavored to cscape from the splintered
ruins. Of Ihe injured, Ed Minkey and
Dan O'Brien are the worst hurt. The
