It appears 1o be entively safe to say that this will be their standing in the electoral eol- lege. " VICTORY IN SIGHT.

Hugh J. ( 1t, the Tammany candi- date for mayor of New York, is elected by a majority of from twenty to twenty: five thousand, & most decisive victor, that will restore to Tammany the full control of affuirs in that city, which means patronage amounting to fifty mil- lion dollars a ye At this writing we arc not in possession of the vote re- ceived by the other candidates, Hewitt, nomwinated by the county democracy and independent citizens, Erhavdt, the re- publican candidate, and Coogan, the candidate of the union lubor party, but it s evident that none of these polled the vote he was expected to do, and that Howitt ally fell far short of what he and his supporters had counted upon. It will probably transpive that more or less trading was done to the advantage of nt, for the interest of Tammany was more largely concerned in his election than in the success of either the state or national tickets, but a move plausible \tion is doubtless to be found in the fact that so far as Hewitt is con- cerned the foreign element was gener- ally arrayed against him. He has un- questionably made an eflicient mayor, giving New York city acleaner and more business-like administration than it bas had before in a number of year but his course in certain respects has been offensive to the foreign elements, and in nearly all respects displeasing to the democratic politicians of the Tam- many class. Grant is the present sheriff of New York county, and it is claimed for him that he has made an efficient and honest official. But his capabilities for the much more important duties of the mayoralty have been questioned. At all events he is a thorough Tammany partisan and his administration will be conducted on lines agreeable to the wishes of that political faction. This weans a complete change in the per- sonel of the city government and the transfer of the vast patronage into the hands of Tammany, which, in past experience, cannot be regarded as a cheerful outlook for the metropolis of the nation. SUPREME COURT REFORM. The new chief justice of the supreme court of the United States appears to have infused some new life into the work of that tribunal. Going to his duties fresh from an active practice, in which he had learned the necessity of pushing the work to be done, and find- ing the docket of the supreme court filled with cases, some of which might not he reached for years under the slow method that has prevailed with the court, e seems to have determined to reform the practice and to hurry for- ward the business. The sessions of the court last but four hours, and as the lawyers on each side ave allowed two hours for argument the limit of the assign- ments is never reachod, consequently it is difticult for everyone to tell when their cases will be reached, and the cal- culations have to be made by the clerk. The plan of the chief justice is to rem- edy this, and it is said that he has been pushing the work so vigorously that the clerk has now to frequently telegraph everyone whose cases were not to be reached until December that they are likely to be called in a few days. This is to be commended, since it is not to be supposed that-a little more cnergy on the part of the supreme bench will in the least detract from the merit or value of the decision. tionably there has been urgent need of the poli which Chief Justice IFuller is reported to have inaugurated. But none the less the necessity remains for providing a way to relieve the su- preme court of & part of the vast amount of business that is continually preseuted to it, and which must increase with the growth of the country. Several plans have from time totime been introduce d in congress, ouly to be buried in com- mittee rooms. The consummation to be desired is that the supreme court shall be enabled to transact its business so that it shall not, as now, be a refuge for corporations that can afford to wait to the great loss and injury of those who caunot afford to wait, and by deluy de- feat justice, S—— THE PROTECTION OF FORESTS. Congress will be asked at the next session for logislation that will give adequate protection to the forests on the public domain, The first thing to be secured is the creation of a forestry eommission as a bureau of the interior department, and congress will be fur- nished with the facts showing the dep- redations eommitted in the forest area, nques- which are sufficiently mand attention. there has been an the extent and va dations, though they were sive last year than the year befor in some previou I'hc however, for 1557, to over dollars in value, of which the govern- ment veceived but little more than two per cent, while the total of these depre- dationsduring the last seven years has amounted to the lavge sum of over thir- ty-six million dollars, of which the gov« ernment has recovered less than half a million dollurs. These figures certainly give some impressiveness to the argu- ment that there must be a thorough organization of a forestry service in order to effectually guard this cluss of government property, to include a sufficient number of forest in- spectors and rangers to insure full , and adequate protection for the remuining forest preser The duty ing the systematic the public timber vious, but there artling to com- The figures show that alarming increase in 10 of timber depre- exten- and amounted, six million s, such service es. and necessity of check- robbery of lands is ob- are other con- siderations quite as important.

Tne Towa railroad comimissioners, in their decision in the cases presented by the jobbers of Davenport, Dubuque and Burlington,charging the railroads with couspiracy to maintain high and extor- tionate rates and discrimination again Towa cities, arraigns the roads for pur- suing a policy regarding rates which has been almost destructive of the mau ufacturing interests of Ios and ser ously detrimental to all interests in the state. Discrimination in inter-state rates was fully shown by the evidence, and while the commission is powerless to afford any relief from this, it is the opinion that a rem- edy should be found in a fair reduction of local rates within the state, If the state of affairs pointed out by the Towa commission is so great adetriment to the business and prosperity of that state, how much more must Nebraska suffer from the greater discrimination of the railroads against this state. Towa s highly favored as compuared with Neb both as to int tate and local rates, and yet there is well- founded complaint th The time is near at hand when our people will give a more serious attention to this subject than they have recently given, and when there will be action productive of results, Nor only Nebraska but Minnesota amoug other western states is cursed by railroad interference in its elections. The Pionecr-Press, a conservative new: puper, states that it has trustworthy ad- vices from authentic sources that the railroad companies of Minnesota r quested their employes to vote for c tain candidates. Of course such a re- quest was to all intent and purpose a command. There are twenty thousand railrond employes in Minnesota. If the railroads can pull the strings and throw the votes of this army of men for their candidates, the railvoads can control the elections in that state. It is to be hoped that the railvoand employes repu- diated this dictation of corporations as one man. The sentiment of the people of Minnesota has 100 often expressed itself to tolerate any caundidate elected by such questionable meaus in the in- terest of monopoli ASTER Iroad circles continue to e very much interested in the move- ments of the Richmond Terminal com- pany, whose recent absorption of two of the most important and extensive south- ern lines of railroad was the most inte! esting event of the kind that has oc curred this year. It is now reported that the Terminal company is secking to fasten its tentacles upon the Balti- more & Ohio, in order to secure a line to New York. If it should be successful in this, and also draw in the Reading, and it is not improbable that both ma be done, the Terminal system would have a route between the north and the south which would become one of the great arterios of trade. The operations of this company ave being noted with great interest in railroad circles. ———— ER was a community so wronged as Dakota has been. Its exclusion from statehood is a disgrace to the nation for permitting the democracy to remain in power. Its population in a fow yeurs will be in the neighborhood of a million of thrifty, well educated, intelligent people. Without the wheat of Dakota there would be a big decrease in the yearly production of the United States. There ave two universitics, there is an agricultural college and normal schools, and the number and quality of its charitable institutions will bear com- parison with those of the great state of Ohio. How many southern states can show an equal number of educated citi- zens or a corvesponding degree of wealth and culture or the same amount of railroad communication? en——— For the next three daysthe whole community will be figure-mad. After that time everybody will begin to ac- cept certain statements as definite, and the fog will be lifted for four years. The system is excellent, all the same, though it does interrupt business, for it isa good thing to make citizens com- prehend that good government is their business, their paramount business. —_— CoNGRESS will be expected at its next session to give serious attention to the question whether the trusts can be reached and effectively dealt with by national legislation. There were a score of anti-trust bills introduced at the first session, but the subject was juggled with for the well-understood reason that both parties were equally careful not to offend the combinations. ‘he demands of poli expediency having been sat- isfied, the wagtignow clear for congress to ascertal fiu‘ is needed to protect the people againkt the trusts and to pro- vide it.

The Past S Treat ment. Globe Democrat: Jean Bouvral, the steward of the fashionable club at Or- .

Treatment by in- oculation began on October 2, continued until October 19, when Bouvreal was pronounced out of danger. In an inter view to-day Bouvral said, speaking of the Pasteur institition and method: “The patients do not remain there as at a hospital, but have accommodations at hotels and houses near hy. I entered the place and found myself in a large waiting room in “which were a large number of chairs and benches. This room was daily filled with patients, between 150 and 200 being under treatment while I was 'he custom of the institute is inoculate those patients who have been last bitten and who come last. This is done_so that the poison may he as quickly offset as possible. Being the last to come, my name was called first, although there were many patients vaiting for treatment when I entered. From the waiting-room I was taken into a smaller room, where one of M. Pas- teur's assistants took my name, my age, residence and all about how I was bit- ten. This was done to determine whether or not the applicant needs to be inoculated; for if the dog in biting did nov draw blood there is no necessity for treatment. I'rom the registry room I went into the operating room, where two more of M. Pasteu assistants were in constant attendance. M.

From ““Men and Measures of Half a Century,” by the Hon. Hugh MeCul- loch:—Mr. Webster was the only man [ ever knew or heard of who united 1n himself the highest qualities of vocate, orator, and debater. 8 never been celled, if equalled, in making difficult and intricate questions intelligible to jurors. Seeing clearly the real points at issue, and using lan- guage that anybody could understand, his statements of the points at issue were arguments. He never permitted the minds of jurors to bo diverted from the real question upon which «a case turned. Brushing aside everything that was not essential, the strong points only were presented by him, and those with oxeceding clearness. I was struek with this the first time [ heavd him before a jury, He was de- fending a man who had’ been indicted for forgery. To obtain & verdiot it was necossary that the state should not only prove that the forgery hud boon com- mittea, but that the forged instrument had been uttered in Suffolk county, where the case was being tried. To my surprise, at the very commencement of the trial, before “a witness had been called, Mr. Webster rose to his feet and said, in a guiet manner, “May it please the court, we aimit the forgery, 50 that evidence on this point will be “unnaces- We deny that the note was ut- sred in this county.” T was amazed at this admission. To me it scemed to be giving away the case, Butthe wisdom of it soon became apparent. Webster was quite sure thatthe forgery could be proved, but he aoubted that the Stat would be able to prove that the pap had been issued in Suffolk county. H doubts were confirmed. The defendant was aquited for want of proof on th point, If both the question of forge and the issue of the paper in the count had been presented, the jury might lavo regarded the forgory ns the real question, and the defendant might not have escaped the punishment which he merited, Mr. Webster's eyes, although deep set, wore 5o penetrating that few guil men could endure theiv piorcing gazo.
