Did yon hear anything "drap'V
Oiod morning to you, Governor
8 tone !
Ani Wannj-'a "heart ' almost
burst in' w iih patriotic tea ' I
AIT all Jbu Wa'iaiuaker pulled
out of it was a lot of wry expensive
advertising.
Consistency doesn't appear to be a
glittering jewel la the eye9 of tsomer
tet county Prohibitionists.
The Uepublicau organization comes
up smiling, notwithstanding the as
saults of iu pretended friends.
Thk "Old Man" not only shook the
plum tree yesterday, but be apparently
gave (several other trees in the orchard
a gentle Up.
That was a blootuin' big boost Ben
son borough gave the liepublioan ticket.
Thirty-two Republican votes against 0
fr the opjKwing parties u a marker
that never cu be beaten.
The w ind is wLiftling gently through
the whiskers of the "reformers" who
were sorry for Colonel Stone but really
had to vote against him in order to
bust" the Quay machine.
Bexatt.r Quay, against whom the
poisoned shafts of envy and malice
were directed, treated bis enemies with
the contempt they so richly deserved,
and the II' publican voters have stood
loyally by him. '
The protocol provides that we hall
keep Manila until the treaty is arranged
for the control, disposition and govern
ment of the w hole group. Of course,
if the treaty fails we shall take all ll.e
iilau.ls without further ceremony.
t'ENKKAL 15LANCO U still holding
one of bis official residences in Havana,
and intimates that he will r fu-e to va
cate. IVobably he intends to file a me
chanic's lien on the building, on the
theory that he played his part iu the
war like a blacksmith.
The Republicans of the county are
to be congratulated upon tire s-plendid
vote cast at yesterday's election for the
Ktate and county tickets. When it is
remembered that the Htate ticket was
ojieuly antagonized by journals claim
ing to lx Republics!), and secretly
worked agaiust by professed members
of the party organization, the result is
all the more gratifying. The great ma
jority of the Republican voters (if Som
erset county are loyal to their party or
ganization and have no sympathy with
thoe who attempt to weaken or destroy
its influence.
1 N A few short years, under the guise
of a "revenue tariff," the Democracy
changed the revenue system of the
country from a surplus to a deficit by
borrowing one hundred and sixty-five
millions of dollars at exorbitant inter
est. In short, in a few britf years the
Democratic pirty turned a rich iid
prosjierous laud, where plenty prevail-
el, aud where there was work for wil
ling hands, into a country filled with
impoverished merchants and trades
miu, struggling farmers, idle mechan
ics and poverty-stricken laboriug men.
Henry Nokman, the new London
correspondent of the New York Times,
s 'uds some interesting and astonishing
f cts about Englaud's stupendous prep
a -ations for war. All the ships have
bien fully manned, armed and previa
ioned. One day last week there were
l-VJ.OSJO officers aud men at Dvonport
alone. The coastguard and the volun
teer artillery have received the first mo
bilization warning. Orders for SXI.OitO
t his of smokeless powder have been
placed. Among the rush of orders are
c mUacts for a million ptmnds of tobacco
and a thousand llasks of special wine
for administering the last sacrament,
provisions are pouring in by the ship
load "To my knowledge," says Mr.
Norman, "the Admiral who would take
c lief command of the British navy in
wir has urgeutly advised the Cabinet
t order a complete mobilizition."
What does it all mean? Nobody
R-'-etns to know, or if anybody does
k-iow, be will not tell. Let us hope
that it is for (fleet and not for actual
fi ruling. A great war at the end of
this century would be an indescribable
slaughter, and the civilized world does
not want to see it.
The loss of the resurrected Spanish
cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa near the
first landfall of Columbus, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, will be a keen
disappointment to every American cit
iz -n. To 1 sure, we have acquired
P rto Rico and the Ptiiiiprines by the
result of the war, b; they are nailed
fast to the map, while the Maria Teresa
was what might be called floating evi
dence of our process. It could have
sailed from port to port recalling to ev
ery mind the niad dash of Cerveraaud
the work of the American gunner if
it had not gone to the bottom off tbe
Uihamas. The disaster will affect the
plans of one man very seriously. Lieu
tenant Hobson is hard at work in
Washington to secure the money need
ed to raise others of the Spanish fleet
that were sunk cfl" Santiago. He has
been pointing with deserved pride to
his success in rescuing the Maria Te
resa, thus giving a valuable addition to
our navy. The sinking of that vessel,
however, w ill be used as a strong argu
ment against any appropriation for tl e
work that Hobson plans. People will
say, and justly too, that w hat has bap
jiened to the Maria Teresa will iu all
probability happen to any other Span
ish ship that we may try to save.
After all, the Cute of the Maria Teresa
is not to be deplored any ton greatly.
The American navy should be Atneri- j
can-built, aud every vessel in it should
1h for service and not for show. Tiie
Spanish vessels, if saved, would, to a
greater or less extent, be floating rein's
or movable curiosity shops. So far as
that goes, tbe disappointment to Amer
icans will be great, but we think that
all good patriots would rather have fire
" staunch American built war vessels
Added to our navy than the five ships
that Admiral Cervera lost in bis at
tempt to get out of Schley's battle.
General Wooit, who has for some
time been doing all in Lis power to
bring order out of confusion in Santi
ago, has very properly decided that
there Is no good reasou why the Cu
bans should not join in the national
thanksgiving, says the Baltimore Am
erican. He will, therefore, issue a proc
iaaiatiou to this effect, calling the at-
trntlon of the Cubans to the fact that '
President McKiuley ba set apart o
vember -i as the day, and asking the
people of the island to observe it. The
Americans who are now with him at
Santiago, and those on other part of
' . .
the island, will need no reminder oi
the event They are even now prepar
ing for it, and, believing that no
Thanksgiving Day is complete with
out a turkey, are writing to their friends
in this land for a supply of these big
bird?.
The Cubans certainly ought to be
ready for a thanksgiving day. If there
are any people in the world to-day who
have been tigually blessed during the
year, they can be found in Cuba. In
their interest, and for the sake of giv
ing them freedom from th oppression
and tyranny of Spain, this nation baa
been to war, at a cost of millions upon
millions of money and several thousand
lives. It has gained for them a liberty
which they would probably never have
been able to gain for themselves. The
battle has been fought for them with
out cost to them, and without any great
sacrifices an their part.
Just at present some of them do not
appreciate as they should the vale of
the work w hich this country has done
for them. They have been fighting for
so long that they do not seem to realize
that the time has conae to stop. When
the last of the Spanish soldiers have
left the island for good, when peace and
stable government have been estab
lished through the length and breadth
of the island, then, we are convinced,
all the Cubans w ill come to a full reali
zation of the great blessings that have
been vouchsafed to them during this
vear.

CKDSUAL LOVE ROMANCE.
Married the Kaa Against Whom She Had
Won a Breach of Fromisa Suit.
Woostkr, ., November 6 A romance
quite out of tbe common run has been
closed iu the village of West Lebanon,
Wayne c-oucty, for a woman who nearly
fifty veara ago secured a judgment for
breach of promise to- marry baa now wed
ded tbe man against whom tbe judgment
was rendered. Tbe records of tbe Court
of Common Pleas show tbat forty niue
years ago Miss Elizabeth Buck waiter w
awarded judgment for breach of promise
to marry in tbe sum of ?7.V) against T)an
iel Reals. Tbe journal of tbe court also
shows that tbe money was paid in shining
ff.ld.
It seems that the parents of the groom
would not give their consent because of
religious differences, bis parent being
Methodists, hers Universal ists. Miss
lUiikw alter never married. Mr. Reals,
after several years, became tbe husband
of a lady with whom he lived happily for
years. Children and grand, hil iren came
of tbe union. Mr. Boalu, who resides at
Orrvilie, was very successful in businoss.
but met with reverses, and with the death
of bis wife, he was left a poor man.
M:rs Buckwalter was thrifty, and with
the money received on the breach of prom
ise judgment amassed a fortune, aud ia
the ow ner of one of the finest farms in
tbe county, and cash besides. Several
years ago the country residence of Miss
Buck alter was entered by three masked
men, who best her terribly in an effort
to force her to tell where her valuables
were secreted. Three prominent resi
dents of the neighborhood - ere iudicted
for the crime. It was said that Miss
Buckwalter was positive that she bad
recognized tbeir voices.
Tbe trial waa a sensational one, and
end el in the acquittal of tbe accused.
The three men each began a suit for
fVl'Ki damages against Miss Buckwalter
for fiilse arrest. At the time of the bur
glary Mr. Beats visited bis old love, ex
pressed bis sympathy, offered bis assist
ance, and, as a matter of fact, it waa
through his efforts that she won the first
of the three damage suits, although the
plainiiir was awarded a juJgruent of one
dollar and costs. Through his efforts in
her behalf tbe old love of forty-nine yearn
ajra was rekindled, a reconciliation was
effected, and tbeir marriage followed.
Reps Ready for Cabas Chief.
Saktiauo db Cvba, November 6 The
Ctibu-. General Peret recently ordered
the trial by nourt-niartial of one of bis
men on a charge of deserting and the
prisoner was condemned to death, but
before the sentence was executed notifi
cation was sent to Colonel Ray, who laid
tbe matter before Brigadier General
Wood, eotutsander of tbe military de
partment of Santiago. General Peri
was at once informed that if the man wts
execated Perex aud the firing party would
be banged as soon aa tbe Courts could
legally eenteuce them. Pereztwai also
notified tbat tbe man must be turned
everto'tbe American authorities if there
w a charge against him, or be released
Ray's action waa on .the ground that tbe
Americans are ruling Santiago judicially
as well as militarily.

New Yokk.Xov. (. Theodore Rooso
ve!t, the Republican notniui-e. axird
ing to iiMications, prt.lrabJy carried the
etan by a plurality over Augustus Van
Wyck of about 20,000. The total Re
publican vote, when receive!, will
probably show a fal.itig o!T, as com
pared with that for Governor B'.aek in
lh!W, of alxiut J4 per cent. In tbe mu
nicipality of New York the old time
Democratic tnajoiity was approximated.
Van Wyck' vote Leinjr about 8J.C0J
greater than that of the Republican
can.iidato. This L.tt r result was
he'ped in K)iue measure by the resu'.t
in the borough of Brooklyn (Kings
county ). which, in lsu i, gave B'.ack, '
Republican, a p'ura'ity of 2:l,esa, but
this elei-iioii gave a Demo2ratic piunthty
OX atXIUC Ib.NJO.
Brooklyn is the home of Judgo Van
Wyck, but this f;ict does not who:lv ex
plain the practical reversal of plurali
ties. which.it is ixiss.ble, is attiibut.iblo
to the luUcwarmiK ss of the friends of
Jacob Worth, who was deosed lrom
the chairmanship t.f the couuty com
mittee as a consequence ,f his opposi
tion to tho plans of Senator Piatt 1.1 tlio
mayoralty contest last year.
Tlio returns from many counties up
the state are incomplete, and iu soiu-j
cae.s are missing altogether. Ihe lndi
ca ions, bei:ijr couipatatious upon the
tigun s at 1 and, point to a Reptibl can
p.ural:ty iu the c nut.es above the Har
Jeni of about 102,000. to oflset whit;h
the )'tmocr;:ts can produce only the
Styaw plurality of (ireatr New York.
'i he soldier vote will not be conutcd
until I ec. I. but it is not hkeJy that the
ballots from the camps will materially
alter the result. There woald so. m to
be the greater probability that the ma
jority lor Roosevelt will be increased.
The figures ou congressmen are not
pceessible at thi4 hour, but there are
indications that the Demirrat4 have
made some gains iu New York city dis
tricts. The majority of Congressman
Vuigg, ic the Fourteenth district, has
been reduced by William Astor Chau
ler, but he is prolbly returned. Con
gressman Sulzer, Democrat, whose dis
trict renominated him upon a free silver
platform, is nudoubttdly re-electea.
There appears to be a los.s of four Re
publican congressmen in the Brooklvn
Districts, the Second, Fourth, Fifth
M'd Sixth; and Congressman Qui'g.
who had a majority of about 9,000 at
tbeeltciion last year, hu been de
feated by William Astor Chanier. In
the Albany d strict, the Twentieth,

There are, seemingly, Deniocratio
gains iu the tight b and lhirteenth dis
tricts, both in this city, Daniel J.
Fiordaii being tlected in one aud JefTer.

a to al Democratic gain of seven cou-gr.a-smen.

Chicaoo, Nov. 9. Five and probably
x cxingressmen have been gained in
Illinois by the ikmocrats, and the next
congressional delegation from the state
is likely to be evenly divided, 11 Demo
crats and 1 1 Republicans. It is possible
for the Republicans to have 12 pf tn
22 congressmen, as all the returns aro
not yet in, but the indications are for an
even sp!it on the delegation. 1 he entire
Rep lb icaa state ticket is elected by
about 30,0 XJ p'utality. Democrats car
ried Chicago.jand the Republicans Cok
couuty.
Florida.
Ja( ksonvillf, Fla., Nov. 9. The
vote, judging from returns now i 3, is
from 10 to 20 p r cent lighter for both
parties than in 1-9 ;. The whole Demo
cratic ticket is elected. The light vote
is due to the feeble r sistence ollVre I.
Tbe Republicans and Populists will not
elett altogether over five members oj
the legislature, if that many. The leg
I lature ehcted will choose a successor
to Senator Samuel Pasco.
I Wnronsin,

servative s andjioint it looks as though
StofieU, Rep., lor governor, will carry
the te by a somewhat reduced plu
rality fioiu the figures ettimated by
I Cha rnian Treat, 3i,00i to 4J.0 K). At
this hour there is nothing on which to
base the complexion of the next legis

an.l fir at r.Vl this arternMin (iiirti.-iily
wrwked the Supreme court nmi and tlio
rooms immediately adjoining it on the
main lloor of the e;:pitul. The ilin.i(;e
is) euormrms. Tbe entire central eastern
part of the great marble pile, from the
m.iin floor to the subterranean baseni! lit,
praetieall y is a mass of ruins. The force,
of the t xplosiou w as ho heavy that tbe
coping stones on the outer walls, jn-t east
of the point where tLe explosion occurred,
were bulged out nearly two inches ; win
dows in all tbat part of the bitililirg were
blown out, and locked d w.rs were for
ced from their hinfe 1 . fet t from the
scene.
Fire followed tbe explosion so quickly
as to seem practically simultaneous. The
explosion oeetirn d in a small room tightly
enclosed by heavy stone walls in thesub
terratiein basement immediately telow
tbe main entrnnee to the ( Id eapiiol
building. In this room was a .V0 lij;!i'
gas meter whicli was fed !y a fuiir-iui h
ruain. Very little g; is used in that part
of the building. I "it at the time of the ex
plosion the K's had net Urn turned (.flat
the meter. The mete, itself a reck
ed and the g.ti pouring from the main
caught lire. The II noes darted up the
shaft of the elevator, which bad ln
completely doMroyis! by the explos ion,
am! communicate I with the record rMm
of the Supreme otwt, the ollioo of the
marshal of the court and the Supreme
court library. Kefore the II.iiiks could lie
subdued the priceless documents in the
recorJ room had been almost totally de
stroyed and serious damage bad been
done in the marshal's oliice and t-ome
minor rooms in the immediate vicinity.
The library of the Supreme court, lo
cated immediately U'tierth tbe Supreme
court room, was bdy damaged by fire,
smoke and water, partially dextroyin g
the great collection of 31,000 law reference
books. Justice Harlan said to-night that
the library was very valuable. Many of
the works il contained would, bethought
be dillicult 10 replace. Librarian Clarke
expreased tbe opinion that many .f the
books could lie saved, although they bad
bem drenched by water.
Tue niot-t serious damage is to the rec
ords stored in the suli basement, inch:d
ing all the records of the Supreme curt
from IT'.M ti IMJ. Apparently the i'i cu
ineuls in this room are either t .tally le
stroyed or so b.i.liy .btinvged I y fue and
water as to lie usebss. Juslii-e Hat Ian

Irreparal.la it was form nate that the later
records of the court, which are kept iu
the office of the clerk o.i J.ht mai-i il-x.r,
were not lijirl. The clerk's oliice was
not iu the leat ilamsg- d by tire and the
exp'.oiou did no dauoge in it except to
blow out one window.
