Ex-Senator Miller made a gallant fight, with high license as the lending issuc of his cam- paign, and he ought to have been suc- cessful, even though nearly the whole liquor power of the state was arrayed agalust him. But there is some com- fort for vepublicans in - the thought that the re-election of Hill is the severest rebuke Cleveland has received, and the one he will doubt- less feel most keenly. That he will ascribe his defeat to Hill there can be no doubt, ana not without reason, while unquestionably the governor will enjoy with all the gusto that success can give the discomfiture of his political rival for the Iavorof the New York democ- vacy, The re-election of Hill will make him strong as a presidential can- didate in 1892, —— MEXICO is plunging headlong into railroad building, Seven new roads have been recently projected from various points to the Pacific ocean, and capitalists from the United States and from Europe are besetting the govern- ment night and day for charters. In the past few years that country has become an unusually atteactive field for the investment of capital in railroad build- ing. President Dinz and the Mexican congress have been more than indulgent to capitalists, They have not ouly given railroads large grants of land and financlal support, but have guaranteed the companies a fixed per cent on the oamtal invested and have granted them valuable mo- nopolies. The liberal policy on the part of the government is the cause of the impetus to railroad bulldinge. Un- doubtedly Mexico has nasural advant- ages and resources which need only the coming of railroads for their develnp- ment. But from this distaice it would seem that railrond construction is dangerously ncar to the speculative era, when new linés are pushed beyond presont logitimate demands for the salte of the subsidies and guarantees of the government. The boom is on in Mex- ico, just as it has been in. our own country at varfous periods. But the pinch will come when the raflréad companies will exaot the terms of their contract from the government, and the people will be squeezed by onerous tax- ation to meet the government's obliga- Fons. VICTORY. The republican party omerges from the most memorable political contest since the election of Abraham Lincoln with vietory perching upon its ban- ners. Tt has overcome a political enemy intrenched 1n power, . and broken down barriers that seemed al- most insurmountable. With the solid south and its one hundred and fifty-three electoral votes, democ- racy had every reason ~ to feel confident of success. With one hundred and fifty thousand office hold- ers to draw on for its campaign fund and the patronage of New York city and state at its disposal, it had a right to feel irvincible. In the face of ‘such odds the capture of the chief cita- del of democracy by Benjwmin Harrison is n political triumph withont a parallel in the annals of the republie. This brilliant victory is not merely due to the fact that the républican stan- dard an a clean with record public and private life, but the re- sult of great moral forces that 1mpelled a majority of the people of the Empire state to rally under the republi- can standard. The effect of this great vietory: upon the nation and its future destiny is cer- tain to be momentous. The chastening process of defeat four years ago has had'its purifying influence upon thie re- publican party, and at the helm " of the government will make it now more bearer is unassailable man, in than ever, a prograssive and elevating force that cannot fail to exert a most salutary influence . upon the mu- terial prosperity of this country. With a republican chief executive, backed by a vepublican congress, the policies that have brought about the marvelous increase in wealth and population which this country has witaessed since the close of a devastating and exhaust- ing etvil war willagain become dominant and potential THE NE CONGRESS. The indications are that the republi- cuns will control the house of represent- atives of the fifty-first congress, and the importance of this is not to be over- looked in computing the value of the republican victory. In every congress since 1875, with the exception of the forty-seventh, the house has been demo- cratic, and consequently during most of this time the popular branch of the legislature has not represented the peo- ple. As everybody understands, this democratic supremacy in the house has been due chiefly to the sup- pression of the republican vote in the south, but four years ago the republicaws lost representatives in the northern states, chicfly in New Fngland and the northwest, and these losses were only partly recovered two years ago. The advices at hand appen to show that they have been fully re- covered this year and sufficient gains made to give the republicans a good working majority in the next house. Regarding the senate, the present political division of which is, republicans thirty-nine, democrats thirty-seven, the terms of tweunty-six senators expire at the close of the present congress, that is, March 4, 1889. Nearly all of these have been re-elected, while one, Riddleberger, will be succceded by a democrat. It . does not appoar probable that there will be any other political changes, in which case the scunate of the fifty-first congress will be politically a tie, with the repub- lican vice president to give the casting vote in the event of a tie on any ques- tion. As there will be no uncertain re- publican in the senate of the next con- gress, that body will be uniformly in harmony with the house and with the exocutive, and thus every co-ordinate branch of the government will again be in republican control for the first time since 1879, the senates of the forty- sixth and forty-seventh congresses h ing been democratic. This situation of affa:rs will impose upon the party in power an extraordis nary demand for the exercise of its highest wisdom and patriotism in legis- lating for the general welfare and ad- ministering the affairs of the govern- ment. Having the whote duty and re- sponsibility of conducting the aftairs of the nation devolved upon it, it will have as great an opportunity as at any period of its onveor to demonstrate its ability to wisely and safely administer the gov- ernment, with equal care for the inter- ests of all sections of the country, and to so vindicate its claim to the confidence of the people that it may retain an indefinite control of the government. Thove is every reason to believe that the party will not fail to realize the gravity of its renewed re- sponsibilities nor undervalue the char- ter of its obligations. It has learned something from past defeat, and the the lesson, we feel confident, will not be disregarded. Moreover, its distin- guished leader has shown himself to be a man of such wise discretion and sound judgment as to justify the fullest faith in the wisdom of his couinsel and divec- tion, If the hope and confidence of in- telligent and dispassionate republieans are realized, thé républican party may control this government for at least a generation, e ——t— SOUTHERN POLITICTANS REBUK ED. There is a rebuke to southern pol- iticians in the result of Tuesday’s election, JTtisnot to be doubted that the prominence taked by Carlisle, Mills, Watterson, and other southetn leaders in the campaign became offens- ive to thousands of northérn democrats and exertéd no small influence in in- dueing such to leave théir party and onst their vote with the republicans, Especislly was this true in New York, where the southern exponents of demog- racy were most oonspicuous, virtually taking command of that field un- til within a short time before the close of the oampaign. There was a féport someé time ago that the natfonal cormmittes had been re- questod by New York democrats to re- place the southera orators with nerth- ern speake but whether or not such was the fact there is nothing incredible in supposing that many of these demo- crats were unwilling to be instructed as to their politieal duty by men whom they knew perfectly well had no inter- ests in common with them,and of the sincerity of whose titterances they ‘were warranted in. entertaining doubts. From the very beginning the poli- ticians of the south dictated and con- trolled the policy and course of the democracy. Mr. Cleveland put his eause wholly in their handsand his nom- ination wasdue to their insistence. It was they who checked the movement in favor of Hill, whi¢h a few months be- fore thie convention was held was rapidly gaining in force. They knew what they could expect of Clevaland, for he - had wmost amply attested his regard for the southern politicians, and . they brought their solid influence to vear in his behalf, It was these politicians who framed the national platform, as they had previously dietated the tariff mes- sage of the president and drawn the s tional tariff bill in the house. Every- where, in the administeation, in con- gress, and in the inner councils of the party, the dictatorial authority of these southern politicians was potential, and when the campaign opened they went to the frout as the chosen champions of democratic principles. There weve intelligent and patriotic democrats all over the north who could mnot sit at the feet of ‘these leaders, and who could not help distrusting them, and where- ever there have been republican gains they are to be largely credited to those democrats who had the independence to refuse to accept instruction in democ- racy from men who had abundantly shown their willingness to use the party in subserving sectional aims and int ests. And to-day no men, we venture to think, regard republican suecess with greater satisfaction than the demo- crats who, in order to rebuke the south- ern politicians, aided to win the victory. — THE GROWTH OF TACOMA. The Northern Pacific has two term- inal points, one at Portland, in Oregon, the other at Tacoma. on the southeast- ern edge of Puget Sound. The wheat harvests of Washington territory, and the products of the Idaho Panhandle, and of western Montana are finding their way to the new city on the Sourid, and are destroying the older city at the junction of the Willamette and Colum- bia rivers. Portland is, thercfore, very much disgruntled. and the local board of trade is being severely eriticized. There is another cause of wailing. The railroad from Portland to Califor- nin has its terminus at Port Costa, on San Francisco bay, and it is dawning on the minds of the Oregonians that Portland is simply a point of collection for ultimate shipment to San Francisco. Much of the wheat that used to be han- dled by Portland now goes to Tacoma, and the remainder is switched from the Northern Pacific line. at Portland to the Californian line and is tn- loaded from the cars and loaded into vessels at Port Costa. 1In both events Portland is bereaved. Much of this was foretold when the Portfand- ers rejoiced so exceedingly over the Northern Pacific. There was always a fear that the real terminus of the rond would be at Puget Sound, and when Villard gave a conditional promise thut there should be a terminus at Portland, the far-seeing citizen felt that it would be kept in spirit, only in the event that the Caseade range could not be tunneled. The event proved that this feat of en- ginneering was by no means so difficult as had been supposed, and the conse- quence is that Portland is losing much of its importance becruse trade is fol- lowing its natural channels. The growth of cities in this country is a subject replete with interest. Everything is done with us on so vast a scale that those cities whose develop- ment is due to conditions that are only temporary, appear at the outset to have passed the stage 6f doubtful growth and to be fairly rooted in prosperity. They allure settlers, they invite capitalists, and they promise much, but they achieve nothing after the temporary conditions have been replaced by per- manent ones. Buffalo, the city to which the country owes Grover Cleve- land, 1s a flageant instance of re- markable prosperity of this evanescent character. Buffalo simply acted as a stop-gap until Chicago waes born, and then all the grain traffic that had made Buffalo prosperous and rich was gath- ered together by the new great city, Chicago is constantly growing richer and greater because its prospority is based upon permanent conditions. Buf- falo to-day is only & receiving point for grain going eastward by the Erie canal. It looks very much as il Portland is about to experience a sumilar fate, and that Tacoma will prove its Chicago. Had Omaha no other tap root than being the terminal point of the Union Pabific its prosperity would be greatly curtailed, and would depend largely upon the fortunesof that road. Omaha's future is sécure because itisthe furthest point north at which eorn can be made & regulur matter of culture, It is also the most western point at which meat shipments on & large scale can be made.

You all know that I went to Eng- land on a secret mission for the government. When 1 reached Portsmouth 1 was a stranger, but my pockets were fullof hard cash, and this fact encouraged me greatly, as I knew very well it would make for me all the friends T wanted.” After a stay there for some time [ made the acquaintance aof many people, and as I had a purpose in view, it was my first motive to get into such circles as would be of service tome. I wanted to know something of the English navy and to get hold of the secrets involved in the building of their ships. I found plenty of men who claimed to know everything and offered all kinds of services, but it did not take me long to pick out the men I thought would do me the most good. I never thought that an oficer holding a sub- | ordinate place would prove to be ‘my best friend. An intimation was given me that that ofticer had same valuable information which, if he would give, wouid be worth its weight in gold. I called at the officer’s house one evening, and was kindly rveceived. 1 did not make any bones of telling him who I was, what1 wanted, and what money I would give him for the inform- ation he possessed. Luckily, his wife was present at the interview, and she intended at first to withdraw from the room when the conversation began to assume-a confidential tone, but at my solicitation she remained, and it was well that she did, as it proved to my advantage. After I had almost talked the young officer blind, and, as I thought, got him to a point _where he would give me the desired promise, he surprised me by replying that his honor was at stake, and his position as an officer in her majesty’s ser- vice would not permit him to grant my Tonnaet, T iheoRBeitAall un: aad! ad Y rose to leave, 1 said: ‘Make up your mind quickly, as I leave here in a day orso.

The casa was assigned to me, nd I proceeded to Sandusky in the guise of an army contractor. I had no details whatever, but by keeping my eyes open and picking up a note here and there 1 flnlh«&‘cd myself that our in- formation wae correct. Then Iselected the most popular drug store in the place, told the proprietor my business, and ar- ranged to make a capture. - Men “shoving the queer” will call at & drug store sooner than any other ~ place . of bussnoss, because they can purchase from such a variety, and can carry the purchase away in the pocket. This druggist had been bitten several times, and was anx- ious to hel‘l nabp some one. I' felt that it was only a question of time when some of the spurions would be offered again,and T wus right. On the fifth day after I took up my station in the store, & respectable looking, middle- aged man rushed in, holding his hand to his cheek, and exclaime “For henven's sake give me some- thing for the toothache! I am almost crazy!" The clerk hurried to it ap some- thing, the stranger danced around and groaned and monaned, and when he' re- ceived the bottle he handed out a 810 bill and said: “Quic ve got to catch the train!” The clerk glanced at the bill and be- gan to make change, but stopped to take a second look at it. I started forward, but before I had taken five steps the man was off like a flush. 1 pursued, but he dodged me in the crowd. I went back and looked at the bill,and lo! it was a_eounterfeit, but one so nearly like the genuine as to deceive almost anyone except a cashier. For the next three days T did some tall hustling; and the resuit was to drive the gang out of ky without having the luck to erest anybod There were four of them, and they had a job office which turned out work for the public. The fellows had put out at least $50,000 in the west, having several plates of dif- ferent denominations, and the worst of it was they got off with the plates. Almost purely by accident 1 learned that onc of the gang had a brother liv- ing near Rocky River,a few miles out of Cleveland, and it was possible he might go into hiding there for a time. As this was the only trail I had I de- termined to. look the ground over. Going up to Cleveland, I got a horse and buggy for a country drive and started for Rocky River. T was only well clear of thecity when I'saw a heavy thunderstorm coming up and had to look for shelter. 1 had todrivea couple of miles to find it. It was an old barn on the lower end of the farm. It was in a tumblea-down condititon. but there was a shed under which I could put the horse. T was only two minutes ahead of the storm which raged for an hour and u half. I found acorner of the barn which did not leak, and for the first half hour I scarcely glanced around me. When I did come to size up the interior, about the first thing I saw was a paper package rest- ing on a beam running across the barn. it could not huve beon seen from any other position in the barn, and I may say it was the ?um‘r sound given out by the drops of water us they fell on the paper which caused me to look up. 1 had the package down after a_dirty climb, and as I opened it out fell the lates of the counterfeits used at San- usky —avery one of them. There were plates for a $1, #2, $5 and 810 bill, and for 10. 25 and 50 cent shinplasters, and the ink from the last impressions had not been entirely cleaned off. While I swelling with thoimportance of my dis- covery the storm passed over, and while engaged in doing up the package a buggy stopped at the gap in the high- way fence and one of the two men in it jumped down and came running into the varn. He did not see me at first, but started to climb up after the package on the beam, I knew then that he was one of the gang, and I grabbed him. He was a stout fellow, and we had a savage tussle for it, but I finally got the irovs on his wrists and made him vrisoner. Assoon as I scized him he shouted to warn his companion, and before our struggle ended the man was a mile v. The one I caught was Sam Dixon, a ‘‘queer man” of note, and known to us better under the alias of y Sam." He was the chap who counterfeited the Brazilian currency and got rid of #50,- 000 worth before any row was raised. He kept a close mouth and would hot sench on any of the gang. Even when !lc got his sentence, which was for twel vears, he calmly remarked: **Well, business will "go on at the old stand just the same.” —— Philadelphia Times: There aréd many things to indicate that tue position of Lord Sackville at Washington has been irksome to him for a long time, and that he hus been far from satistied with the icy formality with which he h everywhere been received almost sin he came to th! man with two idiosyncrasies that pe- culiarly unfit him for anything ap- proaching pu‘mmn; in this countr, One is an exalted neotion of the impor- tance of family and title, and the other a latitidinarian disregard of the con- ventionalities, especially those of the family life, that in this eountry, wit! out an aristocracy to set a vicious e. ample are so pure and strong. In family interest he has a pecuiia interest to Philadelphians as the pre: ent head of the De LaWarrs, from whom the viver and bay take the! names, \When he came to this countr, instead of taking one of the New Y steamers, he came in off the Nation line in order to sail up the bay to whic his ancestor gave his name a centu and a half ago. All who met Lord Sackville, then Sir ILionel Sackville- West, on that occasion were impressed with his hauteur, his narrowness and his generally unpleasant British pecu- liarities. The present complication is really a gocial as well-as a political one, and it will possibly be found in the end that the social aspect of the relation of Lord Sackville and his family with the pi ident and members of the cabinet and their wives may have led up to this climax. Itis curious also that social questions . have been involved several of the changes have taken place before in Sackville’s diplomatic life. Shortly after his appearance in Washington, when it became known that his eldest daughter was coming over and would preside at his house, ofticial socicty was staggered by the discovery thai the young ladi ent mothe had never been legally married. representative of the “queen, with utter Il)gcnendeu e of the ordinary conven- tionalities, while accepting and educat- ing those daughters, born in the differ- ent countries wh he had represented her mpjesty’s government, had declined 10 recoy e their mothers. As a r sult, offleial sooioty in Washington de- liherated whether it could recognize either Minister West or the young ladies, who. through no fault of “their owp, he had placed in_this position. 'Ffle conclusign arrived at appears to have been to tolcrate them and accept them *‘officially,” but no further. t the reception whith Minister West gave soon after his arrival Mes. Hl{_ s consented to stand by thie side of Miss West. ot not then nor sinco has Ministor Wost or any member of his household received "from any of the Indies of the successive cabinets any such social place as was accorded, for instance, to Lady Thornton while there. Mvs. Garfield studiously ignored them. President Arthur, being a widower.was very friendly disposed, and his atten- tions to Miss West were at one time so marked as to be the occasion of much gossip at the capital, With the advent of Mrs. Cleveland in the White hiouse the social status of Minister West and the Misses West in official circles completely and wholly collapsed. She refused, peremptorily and_uncompromisingly, to have any- thing to do. with them socially. This was gall and wormwood to Lord Sack- ville and it is undoubtedly to this cir- cumstance that is owing more than any- thing else the departure of the Misses West for Europe. In this view of the case Lord Sackville’s letter assumes the nature of a Parthian shot. Calendar of Health for November.

Steam heat is too open fires cannot Lkeep up an even temperature nor warm a room in north- ern mid-winter, and stoves burn oxygen from air too rapidly without providing a fresh supply.

The master, a man of leisure and scientitic mind, told me that his delightful win- ter home was heal by two furnaces; that he had discarded steam after a years' trial, and was satisfied. Ventil- ation was fully provided for, and the sick chamber, whence my patiedt soon emerged, was altractive enough even 10 onc who was leaving for summer is- lands of Caribbean. What ‘is essential, from a sanitary point, in heating houses, is to have the temperature even throughout. There is probably no better way of catehing cold, of laying foundation for pneumo- nia or bronchitis than stepping out of a warm bed into a cold or cool hall. cvy skin pore is open or relaxed, avery nerve of resistance is half asleep, and the insidious chill that has proven forerunner toso many dangerous diseases of chest and thront sends one shivering back to blankets that are some time in (wlting warmed up again. While sleep- ng, room temperature should be lower than the rest of the house, kept 50 by open windows, and 1f this suggestion is followed there can be no harm done by needful nightly wanderings.. A proper range at night is 60 to 65 degrecs K. besides the bed of those who are given to these nocturnal excursions should s stand a pair of bedroon slippers, to be slipped on at short not for cool currents of air are always play- ing about floors, and bare ankies are ex- ceedingly sensitive to small tempera- ture variations. There is a change of late years in the winter heat of American homes. With almost universal substitution of better forms of heaters for old-timestoves, and better understanding of ordinary health law by the people, has come a ' cooling down of v.Ke suffocating temperature that made our homes dry forcing-houses and sent-our people out into wintry cold about as well fitted to face it as if they were naked. KExcept in rooms where sick are, or aged persons, mercury should never risc above 76 degrees, nor fall below 65 degrees. A narrow range, truly; but within such strict limits lies the zone of health. Foreigners coming here in cold weather used to find our houses insup- portably hot; and more thun one visit- ing medical man has said to me, *‘Now 1 see one of the causes at work to pro- duce American nervousness.” —— e e —— - Usé Brown’s Bronchial Troches for coughs, olds and all other throat troubles. “Pre-eminently the best."—Rev.
