The Wtatitr Brta report indicate for lo-dai. in this cur. air, cooler vtatktr, rtf Thera wm some apologizing and explaining over the final adjournment of the extra session of Congress yesterday, but there was no occasion for it. It had accomplished the one thing for which it was called together, and nobody outside of its own halls desired to have It remain in Washington any longer. If it.

had -accomplished its task and departed two months ago. the country would have been much better off to-day, and the people would be much better satisfied with it. All those things which such patriots as Senator IIakkis and Senator Coke think ought to be attended to at once, after having helped to waste many weeks In empty talk and obstinate obstruction, can wait for the regular session without the least harm, though it might have been well to take them np sooner if so much suspense and weariness had not been caused during the last three months. We directed attention two or three weeks ago to the rapid development of the wheat-growing industry in the Argentine Republic, and pointed oat that the exports from that country to Europe in the first eight months of the present calendar year had been more that 28.000.000 bushels. Twelve years ago the repnblio was importing wheat.

Recent reports show that the Argentine exportable surplus is not yet exhausted. The quantity of wheat shipped last week from Eastern Europe, Australia, and South America was 4,680.000 baihela, as against only 2,840.000 bushels the pre-aetling week. considerable part of this large quantity tras exported from the An trentino Republic, and it is expected that the export for the entire oataudar year will be about Imahols. A cor-reapondunt of a prominent London journal of the grain trailed writing from liuonoe Ay res on Sept 2'J, predicted the republic's exportable surplus next year would be from to bushels, owing to a largo Increase of the wheat acreage. Mr.

John II. V. ARXoLh. th nominee for Surrogate, is one of the soundest and best-known men upon the Democratic ticket in this county. He is a Democrat who has seen long service and has worked fur the advancement of his party.

His ripe experience and standing as a lawyer give full assurance of his competency worthily to perform the duties of Surrogate, It is an important office, and if Mr. Ransom was not to be continued on the bench the Democrats could hardly have presented for the suffrages of their party a more satisfactory candidate than Mr. An-xold. The Twenty-third District ought to make sure of having an able and worthy representative in the Assembly this Winter by electing Geobgk Coffin, the Democratic candidate. Mr.

Coffix is a gentleman of education, of unimpeachable character, well acquainted with the district, and familiar with its local needs and interests. If sent to Albany we predict for him an honorable career and a place among the leaders of the Assembly. He has the energy and the ability to take a very creditable, part in the constructive work of legislation. The district is considered a close one. TlA Democratio workers and voters np there should spare no pains in behalf of Mr.

Coffin's candidacy. The discharge of the prisoners -arrested for making assaults on agents of the Society for the Prevention of Crime seems to have been a foregone conclusion. The arrest of the men seems to have been due, not to a complaint by the aggrieved persons, but to the anxiety of a Police Captain not to have it thought that he had instigated or in any way connived at the assault The suspicion that he had done so was natural in the circumstances of the case, and he did well to repel it Whatever may be thought of the motives of the officer of the society, nobody will maintain that, under its present management, it has shown wisdom, or even ordinary sense. It began operations with a promiscnous and fatuous attack on the police, which disinclined every member of the force to assist its operations, and which could do no good at alt unless it were prepared to do the -work of the police. It might have exercised a censorship over delinquent policemen that wouldhave been a very valuable assist ance to the cause of order and good morals.

It may still do so, but it will have to proceed upon very different lines from "those on which it has hitnerto worked. Anti-Maynard voters should remember that the only way to defeat Maynard is to vote directly for Baktlett. The citizen who merely withholds his vote irom Matnako without voting for Bartlktt uses only one-half his power of protest The impudence of bosses will never be properly rebuked, nor the unworthiness of candidates adequately punished, by such faint-hearted means. To make the vote count double cast it for Bartlktt. He is a man of good standing in his profession, of excellent character, and will make a sound Judge.

Democrats who abhor Matnard's crime must not let him be elected through their squeamishness about voting for a Republican. enforce the penalties. All efforts to prevent violations of the election laws should be vigorously sustained, but the most effectual deterrent for these infamous offenses would bo a resolute enforcement of the legal penalties. The laws of this State not only provide strict requirements to prevent frauds upon the ballot box, but in the Penal Code there are provisions for their severe punishment The vigorous application of these would speedily put an end to such efforts as are reported every year to secure advantago for one party or the "other by unlawful means. Any person who registers when he is not entitled to vote, or in a district in Which he is not entitled to vote, or aids or abets any such act, is liable to imprisonment for not more than five years.

If a few of the rascals who are guilty of fraudulent registration were to be sent to prison it would operate as a check upon that sort of crime very speedily. If a registry officer violates the law or is guilty -of any fraud in making up the registry list he is punishable by imprisonment for not lean than two nor more than ten years. There is every reason to believe that such officers in the bailiwick of Joun Y. McKane at Uravesend have rendered themselves liable to this penalty. If the offense can be proved in any case an example should be made of the offender as a deterrent to such performances hereafter.

Any public officer, whether he ha charge of registration or has any duty at the polling places or not "who omits, refuses, or neglects to perform any act required of him by the election law. or refuses to permit the doing of any act authorized thereby," is punishable by imprisonment for not more than three years or by a fine not exceeding $3,000, or by both. Possibly Chief of Police McKank himself might be reached under this provision and taught aleatton in official duty. When it comes to the election itself, any Inspector wbo knowingly and willfully permits a person to vote who is not entitled to do so; any person who knowingly votes or offers to vote when not qualified; any person who procures, aids, or advises any person to go into an election district for the purpose of voting, knowing that he is not qualified, or procures, aids, commands, or advises another to vote or offer to vote, knowing that he is not qualified, is guilty of a misdemeanor and liable to the penalty therefor. Any Inspector or poll clerk who makes or attempts to make a false canvass or any false statement of the result of a can aaa.

any one who induoea or at i Indute him to commit uob an kcl, im guilty of felony. The penalties for violation of the elee- tion laws are kpltoit euough and severe euoiigb, aud thd are lu tended to aeoure A strict aud fuit requirements, effectual for tii iful compliance with their lut t3 make the penalties purpose it is not enough, that they hould be provided for in the Penal Code. they must be exacted, aud if that should be done consistently aud firmly the offeu tea would ceaso. It is not enough to at cxiMjsurcs or to utter threats and the the election is to drop proceedings when ver- and the result deter-are made odious, not by uncial ion. but by punish- mined.

SILVER IANO THE SOUTH. Some of the Southern Senators who have lately been en gaged in filibustering at Washington rill get valuable information about silver during their brief sojourn among the people of their home States. They will discotrer that so far from crying aloud for more silver dollars the South has now more of tli em than it needs, can use.

or take care ot It has been ithb custom with many North-products of the South to ern purchasers cause silver dollars to be shipped from the New-Orleans where their Mi nt to the various points pajrmenta were made, funds being deposited in the New-York Sub-which a credit is estab- Treasury, liahed at theXi w-Orleans Mint the silver being shipped dn telegraphie orders. This method ot pay bout has been in use for a long time. Within a few weeks pro- tests have oomto from the South that no more silver was wanted. The banks have actually rebelled against the metal, declar- ing that they of storing it couldi not nse it, had no means secure ely, and did not want it In some Id stances Southern bankers declared flatly that they would not take attention was called to it When the the fact that the sliver dollar was a le- gal tender, trangely enough they denied that this was I the case. They had evidently overlooked the fact that while the act of July 14, 1890, that the silver, does not speoltically declare Joined under the act shall be.

Including, Of course, its declaration silver dollars therein an-coined "shall be a legal that the thorized to be tender, at their nominal value, for all debts and dues, publ; and private, except where otherwise ex prehsly stipulated in the eon- tract" As a symptom of the changed of the country toward silver coinage this behavior of this Southern banks Is note- worthy. The favorite assertion of the cheap-money advocates that there exists in the public bosom an affectionate fondness for silver as a money metal is disproved by the treatment the standard dollars in a part of the country where they were sup- posed to be petuharly acceptable. When the lies and sopii a tries and humbugs have been swept out the way, the attitude of silver is seen to be pre- the people towatd cisely what their attituda is toward gold.

To the extent ttiat silver can be used as a medium of exeb ange without loss or incon- venience to th parties involved it is ao-it passes that point, bnsl- ceptable. When ness men and business communities receive it unwillingly or try to reject it altogether. BROOKLYN OPPORTUNITY. The misgoverfament of Brooklyn teems to be so rooted and inveterate that it is. perhaps, not wd Inderf ul that many of those who are most anxious for the overthrow of the ring are nol so confident about it aa justify them in being.

the facts would They are prone consider the prospect of opposition as dot more than a fighting chance." As matter of nothing but this discourage feeling can prevent a vlc- tory for -the dicent people of Brooklyn from being signal, overwhelming, and ex- emplary. The truth is at even if the ring rulers of Brooklyn were men of good intentions they could not conduct the city to any- thing but disaster and disgrace. They are not intelligent of Brooklyn is enough. The Government difficult and complicated problem. To infect the necessary expendi- tures of a great tnunicipality the town has the revenues i only of a great village.

The great territoria necessary an only time can i waste places so ext ent of the place makes Immediate outlay which imbnrse by filling np the pat they may return tho money that in th meanwhile it is necessa- ry to expoud tapon them. The city has few of the sourdes of Income that it ought to have from thb ale of great franchise, corrupt rulers, partly Its stupid an through ig nortnee as well as largely through corruu tion. have frittered them away. Their rulo has been a con-of cutting down as- tinnous process sets and inckasing liabilities. Their own stealings are ot great aggregate amount but Brooklyn might have borne these' stealings if its affairs had been ad- ministered ritii iutelligence.

It is the frightful waste of the public resources by a gang of dull tbiei ves that makes the con- ditiou of the ci ly intolerable. But at the same time this state of thing has the ad- vantage of mak expense of all ng the remedy plain. The his waste comes upon the homes of Brooklyn. and is felt by every householder as a personal burden and a personal grievance. It is impossible to conceal the real! state of affairs, as it might 1 resources apart from the be if the city direct eontribuli ons of its citizens.

It is the money that the Brooklyn householder work, and takes out of pay his taxes, that has earns by hard his pocket to been stolen and fooled away by the gang that does not contain in its whole member- hip enough business ability to run anor- dinary bankliig business, whereas tha corporation of Brooklyn is immsaaurablv tempts to harder to manage than aa ordinary banking bistn.is. The people of Brooklyn are by this time, it is to bo assumed, past being deceived by the respectable figureheads that the vulgar thieves of the ring have put np for the Mayoralty into the delusion that there is any hope for the intelligent management of the city's affairs nntll the ring is put ont of power, without the slightest reference to the apparent respectability of it candidate. Mr. Hoody is the lat of a long procession of citizens who have forfeited fair reputations in the service of the ring. Henceforth nobody will be deceived who is not very anxious to be deceived.

It has become a positive necessity to put the government of Brooklyn on a more businesslike basis if Brooklyn is not to go into bankruptcy. The direct robbery of the people of Brooklyn amounts to pretty muoh the whole tax list for that which is not stolen is squandered through ignorance sad stupidity. Bat this direct loss is not the greatest losai The greatest loss is the arrested development of the town, which comes from Intrusting the municipal control ot it to men who are intellectually, as well as morally, incapable of framing anything that deserves to be called a municipal policy. They are not willing to serve the people, and if they were willing they would still be perfectly incompetent to do so. Apart from the material injury they have done and are doing to the town they are inflicting a personal disgrace upon every one of its residents.

If the people of Brooklyn submit to the prolongation of this disgrace, now that the issue is so clear, they will deserve their fate. They have it in their power, under the charter of Brooklyn, to revolutionize the whole City Government by a single election. If they elect Mr. 8chixrkn they will have a reasonable guarantee that the money they have to pay in taxes will be honestly and intelligently spent in increasing the value of the property on which it is If they choose his opponent they have an absolute certainty that it will continue to be stolen and squandered, and will go to support and aggrandize as vulgar a lot of incompetents and corrup-tlonlsts as ever undertook to loot a great city. It Is nectBary for them not jnerely to elect Mr.

Schierin, but to elect him by such a majority as shall amount to a notification to the members of the ring that their day in Brooklyn is done. CHICAGO'S RAILROAD PROBLEM. It will be recalled that the murderer of Mayor Harrison professed that he had undertaken to punish the Mayor for having failed to give him the office of Corporation Counsel and to enforce the ordinance which requires the steam railroad companies to elevate their tracks in Chicago. This man, it is said, had told certain persons that he had devised a plan by which the city could proceed successfully against the companies under the ordinance, and it is supposed by some that brooding over this question aand contemplation of the continued slaughter of citizens at grade crossings had unsettled his mind. It is an interesting fact that the Corporation Counsel of Chicago, whose office this crank desired the Mayor to give him, began proceedings against the railroad companies three days before the Mayor was shot, and that his action was reported in all the Chicago newspapers at that time.

The suit of ejectment begun by Corporation Counsel Kraus seems to be one of great importance, and the work has apparently been undertaken in earnest There are 1.500 places in Chicago where the tracks of steam railroad companies cross the streets at grade, interrupting ordinary street traffic aud endangering the lives of citizens. There are also miles of street which are occupied by tracks. The -ordinance of which we have spoken was passed by the City Council without a dissenting vote. It required the steam railroad companies to elevate their tracks in the heart of the city by Jan. 1, 1803.

In an intermediate district adjoining the central part they were required to complete the work by Jan. 1, 1807, and in the remainder of the city they were to have two years more. The magnitude of the undertaking is seen when it is recalled that the terminal stations are In the part first settled, near the lake, that the surface of Chicago is flat and that the town by reason of its rapid growth has come to include avast network of tracks used by all the leading railroad systems of the country. It has been estimated that the cost of obeying the ordinance would be equal to one-fifth of the share capital of the companies directly, affected. The popular demand for a separation of grades at all street crossings is accounted for in part by the great loss of life at these crossings.

The Chicago press reported not lon ago that more than 100 citizens were killed at the crossings during the first sevsn months of this year. The city has begun the fight by an ejectment suit against the Western Indiana Railroad Company and the lessees of its tracks, including the Wabash, Chicago and Grand Trunk. Chicago and Erie, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, New-Albany and Chicago, and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa 6 Companies. There is also included the Belt Line. The ordinance required the several compauies to begin the work of elevating their tracks on July 1' last An impression prevailed that Mayor Harrison was opposed to the enforcement of the law, but these legal proceedings, which are said to have been preceded by careful surveys and thorough inquiry, seem to prove that socn was not his attitude.

In this suit however, the city does not demand that the tracks shall be elevated, but asks that they shall be wholly removed from several miles of street which, it is alleged, the defendants have occupied and used without' legal authority. There had been some negotiations between the city and the defendants looking to a separation of grades, but the city officers became convinced that the defendants were not in earnest, and thereupon resorted to this suit Mr. Kracb publishes the following as to his intentions: I am tteress-sly la earnest le far as tats departmeat Is soaearasS ail aaf etlaUeaa with the Western IadlaaaCaapaa, laeklag UUsala-vatua of Ite Weeks are eft I have SoasaUUa I eoaid.

These eonpa-tales eah bold tf 1,000,000 worth ef the eapltat stock ef the company, and they pay all the expense of maintaining and operating the line. It Is nonsense te say they eaaaot afford to elevate their tracks. They have said that If thay had to elevate their traeks thay weald be fore4 to go out of the elty. la that ease they mar as well bed a preparations to get oat aad the sooner, they get oat the setter. Tkeyoeespy miles of the eltr streets and dsrtvs great revenues from them, and the only property they possess Is a tew miles of railroad Iron whloa lies la the ktresta." The suit for ejectment relates directly to tracks extending for three and a half miles on Wallace Street and at the same time the city gives notice to the eompany that it must remove the tracks from several miles of street elsewhere within ten days.

Mr. Kraus declares that if those tracks shall not have been removed at the end of ten days the city will tear them up. ELECTIONS IN OTHER STATES. The candidacy of Matxard has so absorbed the interest of the people this Stste In the present canvass that little attention is given to the contests going on elsewhere, but these are not many, and, with two or three exceptions, they eannot bo considered very important There are only eleven States besides New-York that hold elections this year, and in only four of these are prominent State officers to bo chosen. Kentucky and New-Jersey elect members of the Legislature only.

In Maryland members, of the Legislature and Judges are to be chosen; in South Dakota, Judges only; in Missouri, one Judge of the Supreme Court, a Superintendent of Publio Instruction, and a Railroad Commissioner; in Nebraska, a Judge of the Supreme Court and three Regents of the State University, and in Pennsylvania, a Supreme Court Judge and State Treasurer. State officers, including Governor and Lieutenant Governor, as well as members of the Legislatures, are to be choen in Iowa, Ohio, Massachusetts; and Virginia. In Iowa Gov. Boies has been nominated for a third term, and the co.ntest haa been made interesting by the departure of the Republicans from their prohibition policy and the consequent accession of strength to the ranks of the third party Prohibitionists. What effect this will have on the result it is difficult to estimate in advance, but the canvass seems to have been conducted chiefly on the State issue.

The Ohio election is rendered interesting by the candidacy of McKinlkt for re-election and the position of his opponent on the tariff question. This has made that national issue seemingly prominent but how far it will influence the action of the voters no one can say definitely. While there are three tickets in the field in Virginia, the Republicans have made no nominations of their own for State offices, and appear to be divided in their support between the Populists and Prohibitionists. There Is no reason to expect anything but the usual Democratic victory. Massachusetts has the distinction of being a State where the Democrats appear to be all hearty supporters of tho National Administration and nnited for sound Democratic policy.

If the party were everywhere as progressive and as well guided as in that State there would be a good prospect of its success there in spite of the traditional Republican preponderance. But the Democrats cannot in any State escape the effects of the shortcomings of the party elsewhere. If in Massachusetts they cannot accomplish all they deserve, it will be on account of misgivings occasioned by the action of Democratic organizations or Democratio politicians elsewhere. If the party had everywhere taken the position and pursued the course of tho Democracy of the Old Bay State it would bo assured of the full fruits of its last year's national victory. SOCIALIST MOB IN VIENNA.

Nov. 1 The Walker board, detailed to ascertain the true condition of the bow navy, held its first session at the Navy Department to-day, Tbe work waa merely preliminary to tbe Important Inquiry which the board la engaged opon. A request was aent to the chiefs of the bureaus for all the Information In their possession bearing in any way on the subject under dlHcunalon. The official files, freighted with valuable data, have been ransacked for pertinent facts. The material muat be submitted at the earliest possible moment, aa the department does not propose to havo a long-drawn-out investigation, auch as Is usually the case with small deliberative bodlea.

Much, and perhaps of the Information necMaary to a finding Is In the department, and the greater part of It was Ip the hands of the bureau typewriters this afternoon, and will be aubmittod to tho board in the morning. Tho most important Information which will be furnished are the records relating to weight on board all the vessels now in course of construction, or recently accepted, which are suspected of topheavlness. The various bureaus must show the original weights credited to each, and the changes in weights, with reasons therefor and authority for the alterations. Upon this a great deal will depend. There are those in the department who will not allow tho responsibility to rent where It has been placed by common consent.

It Is believed In some quarters that tne walker board's Inquiries wUl disclose an Increase of weights without authority and without a submlaslon of the projected chanass to the Bureau of Construction. In fact, as already stated In these dispatches, the Bureau of Construction at one time made complaint to the Secretary that there had been a disregard of naval regulations by bureau chiefs, who had failed to notify tbe constructors of increases In weight. The principal documents having relation to tho Inquiry will come from the Bureau of Construction and the Steam-Engtneerlng and Ordnance Bureaus. The Bureau of Ordnance has Justified all It has done by a lengthy statement of the action of Uie bureau under Commodore Folger, and this statement, which was sent to Mr. Herbert a few days ago, will be forwarded to the Walker board.

A similar report will come from Engineer In Chief Melville. One of the Interesting letters which will form a part of the papers submitted to the board to-morrow will be the letter from the Bureau of Construction approving the Increase of ordnance on the Detroit, the Montgomery, and the MarUehead. This In addition to the letters which are signed by Commodore Wilson, late Chief Constructor, shows that the final approval of the scheme was made by an acting chief of the Bureau of Construction, the discovery confuses the situation. This letter is dated in February. 189L It states that the difference in metacentric height between the original battery and the projected armament would be but three-quarters of an Inch to one and three-quarter inches, according to the quantity of coal and water Bupply carried.

At the maximum. It was Bald, the difference would be Immaterial, and. In the language of the letter, would not dlaadvantageouSly affect the stability of these ships." The letter Is signed Darius A. Green, Acting Chief of the Bureau of Construction." Mr. Green is chief clerk of the I bureau of Construction, and under the.

law, during the absence of the Chief Constructor, la acting of the bureau. His signature to all correspondence of the bureau at such times is required by law, but he can hardly be held personally responsible for the contents of the letter, which is the composition, in common with all other technical documents, of the experts. It can hardly be expected that a busy bureau chief can make all the scientific calculations of the office. He must depend upon subordinates, and take their findings, although every possible precaution Is observed to prevent error. The system of verification is so complete that the belief Is growing that the letters of approval from the constructors were based on misstatements or miscalculations of other bureaus.

It will be the interesting duty. of the Walker board to ascertain the facts. It has been- a long time since was such a far-reaching and all-embracing question In the Navy Department, i SHERMAN A STUMBLING BEOCK. Mr. Toorhees Talks About the Fight for Repeal.

Washisgtox, Nov. 3. Xo man In tbe Senate waa more plaassd at the adjournment taaa Mr. Voorheea. Chairman of the Committee on Finance or tho Senate, who was the manager of tbe Silver Repeal bill In the Senate during the long weeks that the measure was nadsr discus sion.

After It was all ever Mr. Voorhoos was asked to give his views on the contest and the prospect for the fatura. He was loth to talk, but flnallr spoke aa follows: The adjournment of this long-to-be-remembered session ot Congress brings with It a great sense of relief. We met amidst the crash of business disasters, bank failures, and all the distressful lncldsnts of one of the worst financial panics over known In this or any other country. We adjourn with quiet business elreles and a fair degree of restored confidence prevailing in all parts ot the country.
