What was the electoral occasion for President Roosevelt's descent into the lowest rank of a partisan ? In one State the people have voted for liquor pro- pibition aud in another against this systein of sumptuary legislation. Phila. delphia and, through Philadelphia,the state of Pennsylvania, bas given an overwhelming majority in favor of what a distinguished member of Roosevelt's cabinet has denounced as a “eorrapt and criminal combination wasquersding iu the name of Repub. ean.’ san Francisco, on the other uasud, bas gloriously overthrown a tike combination of spoilsmen, while the people of the foremost city of Ohio bave sigually repulsed the attempt of this President to interfere with their choice of u Mayor, In this confusion of popular tones at the ballot-box it Is rather difficult to conceive the cause of his ** extreme delight” over the result, The ouly thing that is made clear by his procismation is his exposure as an intermeddier snd a partisan incapable of comprehending the true spirit of the great nation over which he tempo- rarily presides, Christman Unrda, A beautiful and varied collection of embossed and colored Christmas cards are now on hand at this office.

There are various [outgivings from Washington to the effect that the President will tone down his message to avert further excitement, and that he is astonished that his speeches should have had an injurious effect, and is disposed to think the results due to misrepresentations by the ** yellow press’ of what he said. All of which shows a pitiable incapacity on his part to understand the eflect of his own words, His speeches were loaded, and he seems to have been unconscious of the fact and quite unable to under- stand the results, It is true that the President has qualified sll bis incendiary remarks, jut it has been repeatedly pointed out that the qualification does not make much impression on the public mind, He has said there were good corpora- tions, but no iutelligent observer can deny that the general effect of his speeches upon the public mind was to creste the impression that be regarded most of the corporations as lawless, and that he intended to crush them. His remark about ** maslefactors of great wealth” was universally accept- ed, and very naturally so, as a declara- tion of war upon the mansgers of the great commercial enterprises, His proposed Income and inheritance taxes sud his suggestion for taxing fortunes above a certain point—or, rather, an uncertain one—~l100 per cent. (which means confiscation ), all led people to ipok for legislative attacks upon pro- perty. His demand for the Federal regulation of loterstate corporations sounded to * the man on the street’ uot only like 8 dangerous centralism, put like a purpose to interfere with all private business, The Department of Justice can prose- cute every Iaswbresking individual and corporation without causing & tremor in the marts of trade, But credit is a delicate plant, and the President's speeches were calculated to blight it He ought to have known it. If he did pot, he ought to have accepted the abundant warnioge he has had since bis speech in York a year ago. Most of Mr. Roosevelt's speeches ought never to have been made. His voice i#» a public calamity, like floods and fires and early frosts. His breath is as withering as a girocco. ——— A A ————— Card of Thanks, The husband and parents of Mra, Elwooo Brooks wish to thank their neighbors and friends for their kind- ness during their late bereavement. ,%, Missionary Meeting.

The announcement that it is to fill the en- tire week of November 18th to 23rd with special matinee performances on Wednesday and Baturday, establishes the claim that it is to be as elaborately presented as at the Nixon Theatre, Pittsburg, the Chestnut Btreet Opers House, Philadelphia, or the Broadway Theatre, New York City.
