Hear that jarring: sound? It's the Democratic landslide beginning to break loose! said (lie Atlanta Constitution (Bern.) two weeks before election. The Democratic National Committee declared its "positive belief" that Parker would "receive at least two hundred and seventy votes in the electoral college." The Brooklyn Eagle (l)eni.) departed from its custom of many years' standing and expressed its 'conviction" that there, was to be "a change" in Washington. Thomas Y. Lawson came out wit'li a sensuf ional declaration that Standard Oil would "purchase a few doubt fid States a few days before election. annihilate "Roosevelt and his ambitions," and start "bell for the American people." Some of these predictions seem even more interesting now than when they were made.

The result of the election is described by the. York World ll)en.) as "'a crushing defeat for Democracy; perhaps, in view of ilie circumstances, the worst the party lias ever sustained." No Republican table of predictions, even, confined to Judge Parker's success to 1 lit "Solid South," as has proved to be the case, and the idea that he would be defeated worse than Bryan was bad no general acceptance until Hie cold type of the news columns showed it to be a fact. In the face of such a. sweeping result, all claims that, the election was "bought," or decided by unfair means, are abandoned, although the Democratic charge, that the Roosevelt Administration may be influenced by trust contributions to the campaign fund is still urged. and GOOD TREATMENT November No sun no moon No morn no noon No dawn no dusk no proper time of day No sky no earthly view No distance lookinc Hue No roads no streets no 'tother side the way No end to any row No indications where the crescents go No tops of any steeple No recognition of familiar people No courtesies for showing 'em No knowing 'em I No traveling at all no locomotion No inkling' of the way no notion "No go" by land or ocean No mail no post No news from any foreign coast No park no linf; no ai'ternoon gentil I ity No company no nobility No wai int no cheerfulness no health I fill ease No comfortable feel in any member No shade no shine no butterflies no bees No fruits no flowers no leaves no I birds I No vember.

A ilE Seniors and Juniors Play Other to a Standstill Each Yesterday afternoon the first class championship game of the High School was played between the Juniors and Seniors at Island Park.

The Seniors made the kick off and during the first half the ball was kept near the center line, neither side being able to gain much. During the. second half the seniors carried the ball as far as the twenty yard line, but Long, of the Juniors, came in with his punting and drove (he ball forly or more yards down the field out of danger.

K. Dasher, CHAMPIONSHIP CI THE IIARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1004. COL. WATTERSON IS II DESPAIR Sees No Hope for the Democratic Party in Next Presidential Election New York, Nov. 15.

Col. Henry W. Watterson is in town. He, will sail for Europe to day and expects to remain on the other side of the Atlantic for at least ten months. The result of the election has left Col.

Watterson in a very despairing mood. "There is nothing to recognize," he said. "The defeat last Tuesday was too complete to permit of hope, even for a long time to come. I have read that Tom Watson is talking about bringing together all the differing elements of Democracy, but the man who talks of carrying out such reorganization plans in six months or a year is impractical. Let Tom formulate.

That's his business. But it will come to nothing. "I can see neither hope nor future for the Democratic party until something comes along to bust up the Republican party. The Democrats were in power for about half a century until the slavery question split them. The Republican party is now so strongly intrenched that it can not be dislodged except by a g'reat split in the party itself or some great national convulsion like the Civil War.

Democratic victory in 1908 is absurb. wheat dropped to 40 cents a bushel and corn to 10 cents, if cholrea broke out in the Philippines and yel low fever in Wall street, or if some great disturbance or great natural upheaval which no one can forsee broke out, there might be some chance for the Democrats in four years from now. The protective system maintained by the Republicans is as great an oligarehism as slavery and some time in the future it will wreck the party, but it is likely to be years before that happens. "The Republicans have all the necessary resources to hold ou to the position they have now. They are armed with Krag Jorgensens, while the Democrats have nothing but bows and arrows.

The Democrats have no money. I guess it was 'Pull Dick, pull devil, up at their headquarters during the campaign, and now that it is all over I don't believe they have enough money left to buy a bot tle of whiskey."

JAPS IN BURROWS SAFE FROM ARTILLERY FIRE Mukden, Nov. 13, via Tien Tsin. Nov. 15. An unbroken cannonade of siege guns, throwing fifty or sixty shells hourly against the Japanese position in the region of Shakhe station began early this morning, and ended only at nightfall, when more than half a thousand big contact sheels had been thrown into the Japanese army'a strongest position in the plain for the purpose of demoralizing the work of fortification concentrated at that point for the last four weeks.

To day's bombardment was the most serious atempt yet made by the Russian's large guns and it was made on account of the apparent determination of the Japanese to make Shakhe station an impregnable defense of he railway behind. Both sines have so burrowed into the ground, night and day, that artillery fire, as at Port Arthur, is practically ineffective and the ammunition is nearly wholly wasted.
