A Triumph for Protection. 7
The results of the elections Tues~
day are far more conspicuous as a
grand victory for the principles of pro-
tection to the American Laborer and
the American Manufacturer, than for
more partisan republicanism. As such,
all patriotic citizens should rejoice over
the result. George Washington was a
Protectionist, Thomas Jefferson, James
Madison, and Monroe, were ardent ad-
vocates of the principles of protection
to American industries, Clay, Webster,
Greeley, Lincoln, Grant, and Garfield,
were thorough believers in the doc-
trine of America for Americans, for
our own markets for our own producers
and our own products, first, last and
all the time. And now the People in
thirteen states, have unmistakably ar-
rayed themselves with the above bright
galaxy of American statesmen, and
against the Free Trade heresies of the
platform of last year’s National Demo-
cratic Convention. The election of
McKinley in Ohio, by eighty thousand;
the revolution in Massachusetts, New
Jersey and New York, all show that
thousands upon thousands more than
republican voters, cast their ballots
against the menanced and imperiled in-
forests of Labor and American pros-
perity, involved in the threat to “rip
up the Tariff.” The democracy, if it is
wise and desires continuance in power,
will take note of this august protest
and warning from the ranks of the
masses of the People.

Glimpses of Relief.

While the revival of business is slow,
and the outlook for the winter not alto-
gether'reassuring, there are encourag-
ing indications of better times in
numerous directions, showing that, at
all events and though in a slight degree,
still that the patient is convalescent.

Among the manufacturing establish-
ments that have resumed operations
this week, are the rolling mills of the
Illinois Steel Company at J Oliet ;" sever-
al of the mills at Youngstown, Ohio;
the Ohio Iron and Steel Company fur-
nace at Lowellville; two furnaces of
the Open Hearth Mill of the Cambria
Iron Works at Johnstown; the Penn-
sylvania Steel Works at Steelton, em-
ploying about 4,200 men; the rolling
mill at Columbia, Pa.; the Minge Steel
Works, the Brilliant Steel and Iron
Works, and the Summer Bottle Works
at Steubenville, Ohio; the Hill Farm
coke plant of the Dunbar Furnace, and
Frick’s Leisenring Coke Works, at
Uniontown, Pa; the Clyde Print Works
at Providence, R. I., on full time; the
woolen and cotton works of the Win-
throp Mills Company at Winthrop, Me.;
the Criterion Knitting Company at
Lowell, Mass; the brass works and
machine shops at Exeter, N. H.; the
overalls factory and bobbin mills at
Whitefield, N. H. ; the overalls and
shirtiug department of the Enterprise
Manufacturing Company at Mannheim,
Pa.; the machine shops, car shops, and
factories at Wilmington, Del; the mills
at our own Connecticut Willimantic,
and others in various parts of the coun-
try, most of them on full time and
with generally slight, if any, reduc-
tions in wages.

It is doubtless true that in many in-
stances these resumptions are with a
view to the filling of immediate orders.
At the same time they furnish evidence
of gradually returning confidence. It
is also gratifying to know that thou-

sands of men who have been out of
employment, in some cases for many
months, are now assured of occupation
again and subsistence at a season of
the year when work is most to be de.

' sired.

It is unquestionably true that the re-
sults of the elections have largely
checked the fear of destructive tarifi
changes by Congress. I '

O‘H-
Seasons for Particular Crimes.-

Superintendent Smith of the New
Haven police force, whose police ex-
perience covers thirty years, has a the-
ory that certain forms of crime pre-
dominate during certain seasons of the
year. This conclusion was reached‘ by

 

.. him from a complete record kept and

careful comparISOns made. January
and February are noted for. burglaries;
March and April, on account of the
trade for Easter, for shoplifting; May
and June, nothing particular; July and
August, on account Of exodus to moun-
tain and seashore, burglaries ; Septem-
her and October, horse thieving ;' N ov-
ember, stabbing and shooting ;' Decem-
ber, on account of Christmas, shopliftg

Growing Wiser.

Five New Haven school teachers have
sent in their resignations because they
are about to be married. It used to be
considered in our younger days, says
the Ansonia Sentinel, that the occupa-
tion Of school teaching was the direct
road to old-maidism. Nowadays it
seems to be the direct road to the altar.
And it is right. The young men are
growing Wiser in this respect than
those of thirty and forty years ago.
They are looking for brains as well as
beauty, and they look, in the right
place for them.

He Knew Him.

On the outer and west wall of Hale’s
drug store is an alleged picture of GM-
field, with pumpkin colored whiskers.
To-day as a Belden avenue mother
and her bright six-year~old youngster
were walking across the bridge the pic-

ture caught the eye of the latter and '

ho exclaimed, “ I know who that is
mamma ! ” “ You do? and who is it?”
quoth the mother. “Why, it is Dr.
Baldwin, of course.” The mother said
nothing, but there was a smile on her
face as she hurried the child across the
street and into the Boston store.

Factories "Independent.”

According to report the difficulty ex-
isting between the Danbury Hat Manu-
facturers’ association and their em-
ployees in the trade unions will come
to an untimely end unless the trade
1unions take favorable action before that

ime.

The report is to the effect that the
factories will be declared“independent”
on the 25th inst. The manufacturers
absolutely refuse to talk upon the situ-
ation and will neither affirm or deny
the rumors. Both sides are holding
meetings almost nightly. The breach
between the workmen and the manu-
facturers appears to be growing wider.

Grief Stricken.

wife prostrated J1m Jaques. His grief

nerves. .

At one time it was thought that Jim
would become insane. He is somewhat
improved,but is still very nervous. When
the news of his illness spread on the
streets many expressed sympathy.

Jacques is a colored man. He has a

never heard of. Only his bad qualities

him from N orwalk, Connecticut, where
the marriage was performd on the 20th
of October, in Grace Episcopal church.

Judges and Divorce Cases.

Several judges of the Connecticut
superior court are, as we are advised,
exercising a larger measure of dis-
crimination and care in granting di-
vorces than formerly. We hope that
our judicial friends will own the soft
impeachment. Hitherto, parties de-
siring divorces have had but to make
an application, and the judges would
do the rest.

The impression has become general
that the judges, or some of them, were
taking about everything for granted
and that they were untying nuptial
knots with improper dexterity. The
dictum uttered by Judge Fenn in a
celebrated ministerial divorce case in
Tolland county 9. year or two ago, that
easy divorce is not the best remedy for
easy marriage, has found more favor as
a theory than a condition with the Con-
necticut bench.

Of course it imposes a good deal of
drudgery on the judges to make a
rigid investigation into every applica-
tion for divorce, but we are more than
pleased to learn that some of ”them are
cultivating a disposition to do it. -—-Ex-

Jackson, formerly of N orwalk but now
located in Chicago. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. T. K. Noble,
pastor of the church, the Episcopal
form being used in the tying of the
marital knot. Mr. George Betts,‘broth-
er of the bride, acted as best man, and
her sister, Miss Sally Betts, dressed in
blue slate colored cloth made a charm-
ingvmaid of honor.

The bride was becomingly attired in
a traveling costume of navy blue cloth
trimmed with mink, and she wore a
turban to match, and carried in hir

 

hand an ivory-covered prayer-book.

Many Reasons Assigned
as the 'Cause of Re-
publican Victory. .

Republicans, Generally, Attribute it
to the Fear of a Change of the

' Tariff, While Democrats Believe
Silver, Hard Times and a. -Misun-
dcrstanding on the Part of Manu-
facturers Was the Cause.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9,—Senator Gorman,
when spoken to in regard to the elections,
was found buried behind astack of letters,
answers to which he was dictating to his
stenographer. .

“The election appears to have resulted
in an avalanche,” said the senator, “but
it is useless to talk of the causes. There
are probably a hundred reasons that. might
be assigned, but I do not care to discuss
them at all. I can only add that Mary-
land came arouun with a good democratic
majority."

Tariff, Silver, Pensions.

Senator Faulkner, of \Vest Virginia,
who took such an acrive part in the strug-
gle for repeal, observed that the election
was but another case of history repeating
itself.

“I am of the opinion,” said Mr. Faulk-
ner, “that the result of the elections may
be attributed to several causes: First, the
division among the representatives of the
people of the democratic party in both
branches of congress on so great and
important a question as Was before con~
gress in the session just ended, resulted,
necessarily in some division in the states.
The uncertainties in reference to a change
in the tariff to some extent, affecting the
country; the opinion that had been incul-
cated in the minds of the old soldier ele
ment that the democratic party was hostile
to pension legislation and the dissatis-
faction and disappointment which always
follows the inauguration of the new ad-
mistration, in the distribution of federal
patronage, are the causes which led, in
my opinion, to the results shown in the
elections of Tuesday.

Tariff the Principal Causes ' i

“I was not. at all astonished at the re-
sult of, the election,” said Senator Martin
(dam) of Kansas. “It would look,” he
continued, “as if the people were dissatis-
fied with existing conditions. 'lhe main
cause Of the trouble is found, however,
I believe, in the fear of the people in re-
gard to what the party in power may do
in the way of revising the tariff. Other
things, of course, assisted.”

Representative Burzows, of Michigan,
attr hates the result entirely to opposition
to free trade

01‘ Lil tlc Significance.

Mr. Turner, (deni.) of Georgia, consid-
ered it of little significance, due to several
adverse conditions of which silver may
have played some little part.

Mr. Ellis, (rep) of Oregon, considers
tariff and not silver the dance.

Mr. McClcary, (re-p.) of Minnesota, ex-
pressed 3 similar view.

Recent Panic the Cause.

Mr. J. J. O’Neil, (dem.)ex—member from
Missouri, attributes the result} to the re-
cent panic morc than anything else,
brought about by misunderstanding on
thepart of manufacturers as to probable
changes in the tariff.

Representative Oates, (dem.) of Alabama,
said that the-rspubicans were victorious
for wo reasons, “hard times and quar-
rels among the democrats.” _

'x-Cenator Mahone, of Virginia, thought
that the result was an acknowledgement
On the part of the people that they had
madea mistake in placing the present
party in power.

LUNATICS DID 11‘.

Jerry Simpson’s Views as to the
Cause of Republican Success.

KANSAS CITY, Mu, Nov. 9.———Speaking
of the republican landslide in the east,
Congressman Jerry Simpson, of Kansas,
said last night:

“It was simply the result of a scare
among the masses. There are a lot of
lunaticsin‘the country who know nothing
themselves and were made to believe that
the threatened'revision of the tariff por-
tended evil to the working classes.

"the common people are like a man on
a. raft of saw-logs. As one log sinks he
jumps to another, hoping to keep himself
afloat. Tney Will finally get on the pea-

ple’s party log, which is big enough to .

support them.”

SENATOR HOAR’S \’IE\VS.

 

Republican Victory an Expression of
Approval of the McKinley Bill. -

WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 9.—.-Senator
Hoar said to-day that the republican. vic-
tory in’Ohio is the expression of approba-
tion of the McKinley bill, _“the best and
most scientifically constructed economic
measure ever enacted in this country or
any other.” The victory in Ohio means
this. ' ' i

The victory in Massachusetts is the. re—
fusal of the people to attribute to the

.- democrats the repeal of the ether bill, and»

the-people’s apprehension of the democratic

administration which ayonved in its Chi-9 .
cage platform in 1892 that "protection to

American industries is dishonest and a
robberyl’. - .

LANDSLIISE GROWING.

Belated Returns Only Add to the
Republican Figures.
. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. -The republican
landslide in this state is shown to be
larger than ever dreamed of as the returns
are revised and corrected. As it stands
now the republican victory is 34,680 for
John Palmer for secretary of state, and
Bartlett has defeated Maynard by the
overwhelming plurality of 89,669.

Only seven counties in the state gaVe
Maynard a plurality. These are Albany, '
Chemung, Greene, New York, Reasselaer.
Schoharie and Seneca. .._

Corrected returns make the legislature
stand: '

Senate—Republicans, 18; democrats, 13;
independent democrat, 1. The democrats
are from the 2d, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th,
11th,12th, 13th, 14th, 17th, 18th, and
19th districts and the independent demo-
crat from the 5th. -

Assembly—democrats, 53; republicans
75.

The republicans will control the consti-
tutioual convention by a good working
majority.

 

Still Piling Up in Massachusetts.

BOSTON, Nov. 9. -—-It is now believed
that. corrected returns will show a plurality
of 35,000 for Greenhalge. The republican
victory is the greatest experienced by that
party in the state in a decade.

A rem arkable an“ unprecedented feature
of the election is the fact that Candidate
Greenhalge has carried all the cities and
other democratic strongholds in the state
by substantial pluralities, and has greatly
reduced the democratic majority in Boston.
The demécratic vote all over the state fell
off to the proportions of an off year, While
the republican vote is nearly of presiden—
tial size. _

The legislature, so far as heard from,

’ stands:

House—153 republicans; democrats, 48;
39 not heard from. .

Senate—30 republicans; democrats, 7; 3
not lit-arl from.

Majority agamst rapid transit scheme,
3,129; majority in favor of electing alder-
men—at-large, 7,083.

McKinley's Tremendous Victory.

COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 9. —Friends of Gov-
‘I'ZlOI‘ McKinley declare that the official
«:o.:nt will give him a plurality of over
90,000, and there is no doubt that they
may be correct. The returns now Show
that he has over 80,000 plurality, and over

, 30,000 over all his three Opponentsui *’

The legislature stands in the house—re-
publicans, 84; democrats, 23.

In the senate—republicans, 23; demo-
crats, 8.

This is the largest majority in the legis-
lature ever had within the history of the
republican party.

Every city in the state has gone republi—
can and the gains in the country districts
were as great as in manufacturing centres.
