P. GRAY MEEK, - - -
We know that the readers of the
WarcamMaN would rather have news of
theelection than opinions or specula-
tions as to results and their causes.
We content ourselves this week with
giving the facts and feeling good over
the glorious result. When
thing, from Massachusetts to Kansas,
every-
(except Lancaster county,) goes Demo-
cratic, there is no use of speculating as
to the why or wherefore of such a
result until the people get over their
surprise and gratification. Surmises
as to the causes would bethrown away.

the people.”

ure of owning & Governor.

|gheny county. The immense uprising
Victory in Spite of Boodle.
Outside of the city of Philadelphia
the Democrats, assisted by the more
independent class of Republicans, made
a successful fight on Tuesday agains)
Boss rule and the power of the political
machine. In the rural districts the
result against Quayism produced in
many localities a complete revolution,
but in Philadelphia the corrupt methods
of the machine counteracted the splen-
did uprising of the Independent Repub-
licans and the heroic exertions of the
earnest Democrats, giving DELAMATER
a majority of at least 10,000 more than
legitimately belonged to him. The un-
limited amount of money which Quay
had at his command was lavishly ex-
pended in Philadelphia, with an effect
that could be expected of such corrup-
tion. Had it not been for such means
the Delamater majority in the city
would not have been more than half of
the 20,000 that the returns appear to
give to the Quay State ticket.
The same result appears to have
been attained in Pittsburg and Alle-
of the independent Republicans in that
county warranted the expectation that
the usual Republican majority would
be overcome; but money, with all its
corrupting effects,was poured into Alle-
gheny as it wasinto Philadelphia, and
to a large extent counteracted the ef-
fect of the righteous uprising against
bossism and the rule of the corrupt ma-
chine politicians. The boodle was con-
centrated upon Philadelphia and Alle
gheny, as the most available points
where such means could be effectively
used, and supplied the Delawmater tick-
et with many thousands which it oth-
erwise would not have had.
But, thanks to the honest vote of the
country districts, the debaching effects
of boodle appliances failed in overcom-
ing the will of the people. ‘The people
have rebuked the insolent Boss. They
have declared for political purity, for
better government, for reduced taxa-
tion, for Ballot Reform, and for a high-
er standard of official integrity.

triotism of the people was not made

——We have only heard of one instance
of an increase in wages since the ad-
vent of the McKinley bill. That is
not much to brag of, either. A man of
the name of JoNEs runs a small pearl
button factory in Vineland, N.J. He
wes paying less wages to his employes
than any of the other manufacturing
industries in the town and his work-
men threatened to strike. Finally, in
order to continue his work, JoNEs grant-
ed a small increase. Although the
tariff that has heretofore been placed
on pearl buttons was claimed to be in-
adequate, this New Jersey manufactur-
er has grown rich, and he has but a
small shop. It is needless to say that
his employes are not troubled with
schemes to dispose of their surplus
cash:

——Secretary NoBLE of the Interior
Department should be more careful of
his dates. In a letter to Governor
Hivw he charges that gentleman with
having on the first of July last in a
public speech assailed thie census office
and with raising popular distrust and
disinclination to respond to the
enumerators. He then says: “You
did not succeed in these efforts to any
considerable degree, but you are large
ly responsible for any inaccuracies that
may exist.” Secretary NoBLE appears
to forget that the census was taken
during che first two weeks of June,
and the Governor Hivi's speech, deliv-
ered on July 1, could have had no pos:
sible effect on it.

At the Bottom of the Treasury.
It appearsthatthe bottom the of Treas-
ury has been reached at last, and there is
no longer any of the large surplus that
‘was left by CLEVELAND'S administration.
According to the Treasury statement
for the month ended October 31 the’
net cash on hand, “including funds for
redemption of national bank notes,’
was $48,074,836. The Treasury state-
ment does not mention how large is this
fund for the redemption of national
bank notes, but a short time ago it was
greater than the surplus stated to exist
at the end of October. As this money
does not belong to the Treasury, but
was received for the specific purpose of
redeeming notes of the national banks,
it 18 a mere fiction of finarce to count
it as part of the Treasury cash. Al-
though the Silver act of Congress au.
thorized this sort of financial legerde-
main, it does not alter the fact that the
money is a debt of the Government, re-
Jdeemable on demand, instead of a part
of the cash assets of the Treasury
When this sum is deducted the Treas.
ury surplus disappears.
Included also in the ‘cash” of
the Treasury is $19,728,196 in *‘sub-
sidiary” mlver coinage. Under all
former administrations this coinage—
consisting of silver halves, quarters and
ten cent pieces—was not counted in the
Treasury statement, since it was not.
available for making payments. It
could be paid out only in small
amounts, and when so paid would al.
most immediately return to the Treas-
ury. But this subsidiary coinage now
figures prominently as “cash” in the.
monthly Treasury statement, although
not available for purposes of cash.
The national bank note funds, which
do not belong to the Government, and
these heaps of fractional currency
constitute the alleged ‘‘surplus,” and
alone prevent the exposureof an actual
Treasury deficit. Truly, the condition
of the Treasury is becoming precarious
when it is necessory to scrape up the
subsidiary coinage at its bottom. But
if the disappearance of the Treasury
surplus should induce greater care and
economy in public expenditure there
would small occasion to regret its loss.
