STEWART HAS READ THE ELECTION RETURNS.

[National Democrat.] Senator Stewait, of Nevada, one of the Republicans who opposed the Force Bill, made a very impressive statement of the indefensible attitude in whioh his party has thus been p 1 aced. Referring to the last election, he said: “It will not do to lay it to the tariff altogether. for the tariff’ was an issue on which the President was elected. The tariff was before the people. It was discussed. There were two parties on that question; but this bill, forced through the House of Representative , comes here and exhibited to the people aft r the party came into power i y their votes. They were called on to snstain the Republican party in making it a law. The people refused by overwhelming majorities. You now propose to pass the bill, against the will of the people expressed at the ballot box. They answered your propos Ito interfere with local flections from the Atlantic to the Rooky Mountains. Aro you deaf to that answer?” Mr. Stewart proceeded to make an earnest appeal to his fellow Republicans to halt in the interest of their party, concluding as follows: J “I warn you as Republicans. I have been a Republican for many years. I have stood by the party; I have never voted for any other; 1 have stood by it straight, and I am a Republican; I now want to save the. Republican party from this fatal leap. It is putting itself in oonfliot with the people. Yon had bettei take warning from the late election. You must be in touoh with the people in all you do if yon expect them to sympathize with you and sustain you. “I appeal in behalf of the Constitution, in behalf of free government, in beh ilf of law. I appeal to you to stop this proceeding and oease to violate the rules, cease to trample the Constitution under your feet, fcr if you prooeed you must fail. There is but one judgment that can be pronounced by a free people upon the violation of the Constitution which you propose. Stop now and save the party! Above all, I appeal to you to refrain from attempts to deprive the people of a free ballot, uncontrolled by Federal power.— Leave the election of State officers and Presidential electors to the State, ac cording to the guarantees of the Constition. ’’

“Fire! Fire!” The sudden cry naturally strikes terror to every heart; but modern .appliances for fighting the merciless flames have been oarried to such a degree of perfection that the knowledge of their existence inspires confidence even when in peril from fire. The New York Fire Department is world-renowned for its efficiency, and every one will be interested to know of the methods and appliances for fighting fire in the metropolis which are most vividly described and splendidly illustrated in the Maroh number of Demorest’s Family Magazine, just arrived. As usual, this Magazine is brimful and running over with good things,—something of speoiul interest to each member of the family. Those with artistic tastes will be delighted with the paper on “The Art Schools of New York,” which are most charmingly discoursed “of by one who has had intimate acquaintance with those most prominent, «and the accompanying illustrations are drawn from life; many a pleasant evening oan be spent in the home circle learning how to dance from the explicit directions and illustrations given in “Modern Round Dances;” those who long for a country home of their own may learn how their dreams may be realized at small expense, by roadiiv’ about cottages that can be built for lei a than 91,000, in the paper entitled “Inexpensive Hornet;” and the prospective bride who some day may possess one of these homes will gather many practical hints from “Dorothy’s Trousseau,” which was arranged for SIOO. Surely, here is a wide diversity of interests; but in addition there are bright stories,land the usual well-stored departments, and nearly three hundred illustrations. Every number of Demorest’s Family Magazine brings its quota of pleasant surprises, and every family should enjoy them. It is only $2 per year, and is published by W. Jennings Demorest, 15 East 14th Street, New York City.
