The Elections.
-The State elections show a remark-
able revulsion of sentiment since last
year. '
In New York, Maynard for Appeals
Court Judge, is defeated by an over-
whelming majority, and the entire Re-
publican State ticket is elected by ma-
jorities ranging from 30,000 to 40,000.
Schieren, the Republican candidate for'
Mayor of Brooklyn, is elected by a
good majority.
Ohio re-elects McKinley by from
60,000 to 75,000.
The'election in Massachusetts has re-
sulted in an overwhelming Republican
victory. Their candidate for governor
is elected by a plurality rising 35,000 ;
their candidate for lieutenant-governor
by a plurality probably 10,000 greater.
They have (1180 elected seven out of
eight councillors, an overwhelming ma-
jority in the Legislature and a large
proportion of the County officials.
The majority in Pennsylvania will
probably reach 125,000.
In, New Jersey the Republicans will
have 12 majority on joint ballot.
Good Suggestions.
In his annual report Commissioner
of Patents Seymour suggests two
changes in the administration of his
office. The first is the philosophical
classification of the 533,077 patents
which have been already issued, to-
gether with the entire mass of foreign
patents and printed publications which
constitute the field of search in the
case of every application made to the
patent office. He accordingly submits
estimates amounting to $64,000 for the
organization of a classification division.
A second suggestion is to provide in
a systematic manner for the examina-
tion of industries to which patents per-
tain as they actually exist in the coun-
try at large. At present a patent goes
to issue upon the result of a long search
among books and documents. The dis-
parity between industries as thus exhi-
bited and the industries as actually
conducted in factories and in com-
merce, is often wide. It is considered
of great importance that some part
of the examining force should have
temporary details to study the indus-
tries of their divisions as they exist in
fact, and for this purpose an expendi-
ture of $1,250 is asked.
The first suggestion is a good one
and should be adopted at an early day.
The second, while it is sadly needed
among the present corps of examiners,
should cause a smile to creep over the
faces ofthe army of old examiners who
are now practicing as attorneys before
that department, and who formed the
greatest army of skilled mechanics that
any country ever gathered together
under one roof. If any Commissioner
in those days had recommended that
his examiners "have temporary details
to study the industries of their divi_
sions as they existed in fact,” he would
have raised a storm of derision. Those
were the days before the contemptible
civil service law was launched upon
the office, when every examiner was
a skilled mechanic and needed no in-
structions as to the industries of their
divisions as they existed in fact. Those
days have passed and in place of the
able, skilled mechanic the Patent ofiice
corps of examiners consists to-day of
college, bred mechanics who have been
able towns the civil service examina-
tions, and whose knowledge of mechan-
ics has been acquired from books and
not from actual service as were the old
examiners. Commissioner Seymour is
wise in his suggestion and the sooner
his examining corps acquires practical
knowledge of the industries of their
divisions the better it will be for the
inventors of the country.
OO————-——-—
Tramps.
Notwithstanding the horde of tramps
who nightly fill the tramp house at the
Hotel Gehebe get nothing for breakfast
they never complain, for they general-f
ly go to sleep on the floor and benches
with well filled stomach, and know that
within an hour of leaving they can get'
their stomachs filled again with good
substantial grub from. the larders of
tender-hearted housewives.
Occasionally, however, a tourist ar-
rives in town after the good people have
locked up their cupboards and retired
to rest. In this case the traveler goes
to bed on an empty Stomach.‘ Norwalk
is daily overrun with the nuisance, and
always will be until the police take the
- trouble to enforce the tramp law. The
gentry never-trouble a town a second
time when the tramp law is enforced;
they travel for pleasure.
And then again if the housewives of
Norwalk would makeup their minds to
shut the doors in the faces of these vis-
itors, the latter would not rev1sit them.
Most women do not know that when
they once gii’e a meal to one of these.
tourists the house will become a mark
for his brethren. -
But such is the fact. Many wOmen in
town have doubtles wondered why they
have received so many calls from
tramps whentheir neighbors have not,
but it is easily explained.
The houses are marked.
The knights of the highways and by-
ways have their cabalistic signs, and
they blaze the houses like woodmen
blaze trees.
And these signs which they leave on
fences, doors, and in fact all manner of
places, are as conspicuous to the tramp
family as the street signs, so that the
walking delegates may read as they
run. ~
For instance, a house is called at.
The dusty, dirty caller asks for food,
and the lady of the house says “ NO!
get out of this! ” and slams the door in
his face, down goes a sign on a conven-
ient spot, in chalk, pencil, or a knife
cut on the fence picket, post or rail.
This mark will say as loudly to the
travelers who follow as a town- crier
could shout it: “This house is n. g.
Old hag.”
The next call the man may make. his
tale of no work, a family dependent,
etc., may bring him a breakfast—down
goes asign, “This house is all right;
nice woman.” If he is given money
'an addition to the sign will say “Strike
for cash.”
There are signs to warn the craft
against dogs, signs to tell what can be
got besides yictuals in the way of cloth-
ing, etc., and also signs to tell what
sort or quality of food is given.
If the roadster feels boildinnerish
'he’ll know where to get it; if he feels
like laying a piece of roast beef across
his chest he knows where he can get it;
if die wants soup he has only to look for
the sign. In fact he can dine in courses
and select his own bill of fare.
Although they don’t look it, they are
epicureans of the first water, and they
never eat bread when they can 'get pie.
It is a well-known fact that they are
a healthy breed; there’s nothing deli- .
cate about them except the manner in
which they handle the truth, and they
can easily stow away a meal of eighteen
courses twice running, and not talk a
bit in their sleep.
Just now N orwalk is full of these
traveling knights, and the housekeepers
are being bothered to death and com-
plaints are heard every day. The check
displayed by these weary Sons of Rest
would put to shame a brass monkey.
They walk boldly up to a house and
knock, and if the door is not opened
soon enough to suit them they will push
open the door and enter as though they
owned the premises and shouldered the
taxes. If the man of the house is at
home the tramp forgets his tale of woe,
and comes to the point at once and asks
for something to eat, but if he finds
no one at home but the good housewife
he is as liable to demand food in an in-
solent tone as he is to tell his long tale
of woe.
During the month of October there
were 303 tramps harbored at the tramp
house and they are daily on the in-
crease. If .the police remain inactive
much longer, Norwalk will soon become
known throughout the fraternity as
the paradise of tramps and we shall
have tramps for breakfast, tramps for
dinner and tramps for supper.

Not to be Increased.
Notwithstanding the hard times there
are indications, of a considerable in-
crease in the number of applications
for liquor licenses. This is rather a
surprise to the County commissioners
'who had been of the opinion that the
financial stringency which has already
forced many saloon-keepers to the
bankruptcy well would have a tendency
to lessen the number of applicants.
That such will not be the case, how-
ever, is evidenced by the fact that in
South Norwalk alone there will be 10
more applications than there were last
year. In Norwalk there will also be
an increase as well as in Stamford.
But from the way the commissioners
feel at present, the probability is that
a number of applicants will suffer dis-
appointment. The ratio of saloons to.
population in the two Norwalks last
year was about 1 to. 300. In Danbury
it was the same and in Stamford a little
more. This ratio the commissioners
believe should not be lessened‘except
for strong reasons. In one short block
in South Norwalk there are to be five
applications for licenses. The commis-
sioners feel that for a place the size
of South N orwalk it is too many. The
ratio of saloons in Bridgeport is about
1 to 190. .

Death of Mrs. James Jacques.
Mrs.‘James Jacques died at her resi-
dence, the Alexandra Hotel, at Bridge-
Tuesday, of Bright’s disease.
The deceased had been afflicted with
the ailment for several years, says the
Farmer, but had _not sufi‘ered particular
discomfort from it until last night when
she experienced anaemic convulsions
upon retiring. She soon lapsed into
unconsciousness, and despite all the
efforts of several physicians died.
Mrs.J acques’ maiden name was Annie
Mack. She was born in Norwalk 24
years ago. Five years ago she became
infatuated with Jacques and married
him. Although living_in a place that
has been raided as a disorderly house a
number of times she was extremely
good hearted. Her charity extended
to every unfortunate person whom she
knew, and many a helpless woman was
the recipient of her kindness. N 0 per-
son ever applied at Jacques’ place with-
out receiving assistance from him or
his wife. . -
The Alexandra hotel contained at
least 40 people Tuesday who sorrowed
over the death of Mrs. Jacques. - ,
A peculiar testimonial to her char-
acter is, that although the police raid-
ed her husband’s place innumerable
times they never arrested- her. , The
police knew her philanthropic dispo-
sitio‘n, and would not arrest hs'r.

and Other States.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8,—Twe1ve states held
elections yesterday and a congressman
was chosen in the first district of Michi-
gan to fill a. vacancy.
In New York the whole state ticket was
elected by pluralities exceeding 15,000,
while Bartlett was elected over Maynard
by a much larger plurality, probably ex-
ceeding 70,000,
The legislature is republican in both
branches.
The republican victory in Kings county
is complete. Schieren, for mayor, defeated
Boody by over 20,000, and Gaynor was
elected supremecourt judge by over 25,-
000.
Ohio reelected Governor McKinley by
a plurality Which may exceed 50,000.
The legislature is republican in both
branches.
Massachusetts has elected a republican
governor, Greenhalge having beaten Russell
by 10,000, a full set of state officers and
a. republican legislature.
. Iowa elects Jackson governor to succeed
Boles by from 25,000 to 35,000.
In New Jersey the assembly is believed
to have a republican majority of at least
ten. The senate is probably demOcratic
by one or two votes, because of the hold-
overs, though the republicans gained five
or six members.
In Pennsylvania, the republicans have
elected a treasurer and supreme court
judge by from 75,000 to 100,000 plurality.
South Dakota elected three supreme
court judges and eight circuit court judges,
all republicans.
The Virginia democrats have elected the
entire state ticket, except in the cases of a
few populist legislators, by big majori-
ties.
Kentucky chose a democratic legislature,
which will elect a United States senator.
Griffin, democratic candidate for con-
gress in Michigan, was elected.
IN THE ELIPIRE STATE.
'ictory 01‘ Republicans Greater Than
Expected—Tammany \Vius.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8,—All political fac-
tions looked on with wonderment and sur-
prise when the result of yesterday’s elec-
tion became known.
The vote polled for secretary of state by
the New York democracy of which Tam-
many hall is the head was full 10,000
below their anticipated majority. The
figures are: .
Meyer, democrat, 147, 7256; Palmer, re-
publican, 79,877..
The greatest struggle of the campaign
was centered in the contest for associate
judge of the court of common pleas and
has probably greatly influenced the general
vote throughout the state, the candidacy
of Isaac H. Maynard having been greatly
opposed. '
All parties in this city were greatly sur-
prised and perhaps none more so than the
republicans themselves. ' Maynard fell
considerably behind his ticket and polled
20,367 votes less than cast for secretary of
state and there is little doubt but that his
candidacy was a. leading factor in the de-
feat cxperienced by the democratic party
in this state. .
Another cause for the downfall of dem-
ocracy, in all probability, was the recent
actions of John Y. McKane at Gravesend,
which unquestionably affected the party’s
chances of success.
The democrats still, virtually, have con-
trol of the local government, having
elected their city ofiicers, sheriff, county
clerk, surrogate, city comptroller, justice
district-attorney, justice of the civil court
and coroner.
' The republicans have only carried two
out of the 30 assembly districts in this city;
they are the twenty-third in which Law-
son was elected, and the twenty-ninth
ivhich was carried by Fitzgerald.
