Election Over.

Election over, even the government
begins to show some activity in the mat-
ter of placing its contracts. Contracts
for supplies to the departments for ves-
sels and tenders for the light house ser-
vice and for river and harb‘br improve-
ment have been waiting the definite set-
tlement of the currency question for
months, and now that it has been set-
tled will be advertised and awarded
promptly.

This will lead to the expenditure of
millions and the employment of labor
on a large scale. But for the uncertain-
ty growing out of the Presidential cam-
paign these contracts would have been
awarded long ago and the money al-
ready in circulation among the people.
rl‘he Bryan campaign has proved a night-
mare to business of every kind, includ-
ing the improvements authorized by
Congress, and the country is to be con-
gratulated that the incubus has been
removed.

After the Battle.

The American people have come out
of the Presidential Election, ordeal a
prouder and more self-reliant people.
In future no demagogue will raise the
question whether the United States,
with ample assets to meet itsbl oigations,
shall play'th‘e bankrupt. There are
several things which the election of
William McKinley has proved, and
which seem to be settled for all time in
this country. One is, that a political
dividing line can no longer be drawn
between the North and South; another
that it is futile to try to make a direct
issue between labor and capital; but
the thing of supreme importance de-
monstrated by the election is that uni-
verSal sufi‘cage in the United States is
not a failure. If Bryanism, which
stood for repudiation, and Altgeldism,
which was a synonym for Anarchy, had
triumphed, there would have been rea—
son to despair of the future of the Be-
public. .

The result shows how little the pes-
simists had to fear a false verdict. If
the victory was bloodless, it was as
epoch-making. as the saving of the
Union from dismemberment in the
War of the Rebellion.

To those who knew the American
people, it was inconceivable that, after
having withstood the assaults of more
than a hundred years upon constitu-
tional they could go
wrong on such issues as common hon-
esty, law and order and the integrity of
the Supreme Court.

But the mob convention at Chicago
forccdlthese issues, and they had to be
tried before the jury of the people,
while the world looked on and won-
dered. The verdict rendered disposes
of them for this generation, we are
sure, and for all time, we hope and be.
lieve. 1n the crushing defeat of Mr.
Bryan, emphas‘zed by the election of a
sound money Congress,

government,

free silver
coinage at 16 to 1 receives its quietus,
for no National convention would ever
have the audacity to propose it again
to a tree and honorable people. More-
over, the last hope of the silver mine
own' rs to foist the imposture upon the
country will be abandoned with the
has of their influence in the Senate.

We shall bear only faint echoes, if any.

at. all, of the protest against “govern-
ment by injunction,” which the baffled
Altgeld has made infamous. As for
the State rights doctrine of non-inter-

fence of the Federal authorities to en-'

force respect for Federal law, the cor-
sensus of opinion had really repudiated
it before the voting began. Nor can
there be any doubt how a proposition
to pack the Supreme Court would be
received in the future.

All hail the brighter skies.

Dog Stealers Find it Necessary to the Suc-
cess of Their Business.

This is said to be the age. of adul-
teration. Even dogs are adulterated
now. In Paris the practice of color-
ing and otherwise metamorphosing
dogs seems to have been carried on
extensively, and generally for very
obvious reasons. One reason is that
some persons who own pet dogs like
to have them of a color corresponding
to the fashionable color of each par-

ticular season, and as dogs can not

shed their skins like snakes the nec-
essary changes of color must be pro
duced by other means. Another rea-
son is that dog stealers find it very
profitable to give a new hue to such
canines as they may acquire, as it is
then impossible for their former own-
ers to recognize them.

A pointer, says an export, can be
changed into an animal closely resem-
bling a spaniel by means of a tinc-
ture which will make his coat black
instead of orange. Any required
change of color in a fox terrier can
be made by means of a tincture com-
posed of walnuts and sulphate of iron.
The process does not injure the uni-
mal’s health, and the fictitious color
will last-to the end of the season.

To change a. black dog into a white
one is very easy, and is effected by
gradually effacing the original coat.
In the case of spotted dogs special
mixtures are used. There is, in fact.
no kind of dog in which the required
changes cannot be made with little
trouble.

Dog stealers, however, are not sut-
isiied with changing the color of the
stolen dogs. Some dogs. they know,
are. so loyal that they will at once rec-
ognize their former masters wherever
they may see them, and in such a case
in spite of the change of color, the
nmstcrs, attracted by the dog‘s ca-
resses, are very likely to suspect that

something is wrong, and the end may "

be a trial before a police magistrate.
The knavcs know well what the re
sult of such a trial would he. The
magistrate, seeing the dogs caress
their former masters would naturally
dccidc the question of ownership in
their favor. Nay, his suspicions once
aroused, he might even go further and
order that the dogs be thoroughly
washed, and this would surely result
in the knuves discomfiturc and arrest,
since ample evidence of the fraudu-

lent colors would be forthcoming.

Necessity, however, is the mother of
invention. A modern dog stealer
adopts the following tactics: He sees a.
thoroughbred dog, and decides to
steal him. But first he must find out
the animal’s name, and under no cir-
cumstances will he steal him until he
has found it out. Having secured the
animal, he ties him in a room and
calls him by his name several times
a. day. The dog, hearing his name,
raises his head and wags his tail, but
instead of the expected caress he re-
ceives a shower of blows from his
brutal new owner. After he has been
treated this way several times he nat‘
urally conceives an insurmountable
repulsion for his own name, and as
soon as he hears it he is sure to sneak
ol'f with his tail between his legs.

He Forgot the Bride’s Name.

long.”

This was the funny exclamation
made by a man in the Cleveland Pro-
bate Court after he had entered his
own name and the given name of his
prospective wife on the license book.

Clerk Schwab, who was dispensing
the young man’s wants looked up
startled. It was one of the most
amusing things he had run across in
his diversified career behind the coun‘
tcr. After vainly trying to suggest the
missing name, he agreed there was
nothing left but to go home after it.

The young man was Eugene Mur-
phy. He dictated and spelled out the
name of his intended. It was A—u-
g-u-s-t—a —. But there it suddenly
stopped. Murphy‘ blushed, looked
slightly—just slightly—disturbed, turn-
ed all sorts of colors in a. minute, and
finally thought he’d give it up. That
is precisely what Clerk Schwab did.
After tarrying with his pen in his
hand for a. few minutes he told the
young man to come back after he
knew whom he was going to marry.

Meanwhile an interrogation point
was left as a substitute for the trou—
blesome appendage. “Better make it
‘What (1’ you call her?’ suggested a
bystander. Perhaps it would have fit-
ted the v' 2:.» to a “T.”

“Say, were you ever in such a pre-
dicament?” mildly queried Murphy.
“Say, but it’s tough, boys. She’ll
think I’m forgetting her thus early.
But I’m not. I hope you will fare
better.”

Then he departed to solve the fate-
ful conundrum.

It seems Murphy did solve it. Later
in the day the missing name was
found on the register. Only the dif-
ference in the shade of the ink re-
mained to tell the tale of a prospect
ive husband's plight. The full name
was Augusta Krentz.

O t No Avail.

“And you four brothers were
named Edmund, Edgar, Edward and
Edwin, were you? What could have
been your parents’ object in that?”

“They wanted to keep us from ever
being nicknamed.” .

“Did it have that reflect?” ,

“Not exactly. We‘ve always been
called, Chuck, Snorkey, FlleS and
I’ilgarlic.”

O'rcrdid the Thing.
