Clark eounty. According to the first returns for the State ticket those two connties stood: Clark, Democratic majority of 922 and Republican loss of 113: Jefferson. Republican majority of 704 and Democratic loss of 242. These State figures would indicate, so far as they bear upon the matter at all, that the Democrats have the district. but e.s they claim it by only two plurality the result is evidently an open question. On the face of the returns the Democrats claim thirty-one Senators and forty five Ilepre sentatives. Conceding to the Republicans nineteen Senators and fifty five Representatives, on joint ballot. If this division of power should hold good, there would be a total vote of 150—seventy six Democrats and seventy-four Republicans —a difference of two, but a majority of one. With Taggart in and McClure out the joint ballot for United States Senator would probably result in seventv five votes for each candidate. Mr. Edward McPhersou said two years ago that Illinois was the first State to have a tie on joint ballot for Senator, but Indiana may “see” that feat, or even go it one better, for if a recount makes barely one change in the result of the Taggart-McClure contest there will be an absolutely unparalleled double-play—a tie on a tie. General Harrison may yet have the benefit of a situation even more interesting than the one which kept the name of General Logan so long before the public, and made him the observed of all political observers. Corydon Republican: It was not party which spoke, but it was the voice of the people —the tax-payers—who have longsuffered by oppressive taxation. Richmond Palladium: The excitement over the altering of tally-sheets by the Democratic thieves at Indianapolis is intense, anu such threats as “hang them to a lamp-post" are freely indulged in. Columbus Republican: Eb Henderson, before the election, had tho Democratic majority figured ud to exactly 11,762. It is now charged that “Huston’s dog” somehow got at that majority and ate it up. Huston is a sly one and did not board that dog at the hotel all through the campaign for nothing. Warsaw Times: The administration policy has been disapproved. The Democratic leaders have been rebuked. The Republican party has put itself in good condition for the fight in 1888. In many States the Democrats havo cone to pieces, and there will be needed anew muster to put them in shape for the presidential battle. Rushville Graphic: From the present outlook the campaign in this State has just begun. We hope everything will be settled satisfactorily. If tiie Democrats have a majority in the Legislature of two on joint ballot, and have it without obtaining it by fraud of any kind, we want them to have their rights, but it looks like there has been some skullduggery. South Bend Register: We thought the voters of St. Joseph county were equally divided on some of the candidates, but Elkhart county goes us one better. She has a tie, and according to law there is no election. The present incumbent will hold over until his successor is elected and qualified. • This may be done at a special election or at the next general election. Logansport Journal: The Republican member from Clark county was clearly elected, and counted out bv fraud. Hia seat will be given him, and Harrison will be his own successor—stick a pin there. Joe Mackm-Sim Coy politics will not be allowed to gait: a foothold in Indiana. The Republicans have fairly elected a majority of the Legislature, and don’t intend to have it stolen from them. Shelbvvilie Republican: Fortunately for the Republicans the court of last resort, the lower house of the Legislature, is in their hands, and they will be able to see that justice is done to everybody. We don’t ask them to do any wrong to gain a point, but we do insist that they stand between the people and ballot-box stuffers to the end that the rights of ali concerned may be vindicated. Boston Advertiser: The people were not de eeived by the misleading cry of “tariff reform,” and Messrs. Morrison, Carlisle, Hurd and the rest of the defeated ones must reflect with sorrow that the result of disciplining the protectionists has been not unlike that of the plucky fight of the Western editor who inserted iiis nose between his adersary’s teeth, and thus prevented the latter’s escape until his strength was exhausted. Philadelphia Press: Indiana gives even a more striking proof of the people’s willingness to indorse the Republican party when right. The party never faced a more discouraging condition of things than it was compelled to face in ludiaDa. The Democrats arranged the most shameless and unjustifiable gerrymander that has been perpetrated in recent years in a Northern State. But with a courage that is worthy of all admiration the Republicans appealed to the people to condemn this outrage, and apparently they have responded in unmistakable terms.

New Albany Ledger (Detn.): The President is right The great mass of the party and of Ihe people of this country are with him. Had the party organs aud party orators given his policy a hearty support the result of the reeent elections would have been vary different. It is because the so-called leaders and organs in the Democratic party condemn the wise and patriotic course of Mr. Cleveland that the masses are lukewarm in supporting the party ticket; and whenever the people are represented in con* ventioDß and elsewhere the administration is heartily indorsed. South Bend Tribune: Honest elections are the safety of the people, and when they have expressed themselves at the polls that expression must not be chanced by forgery or other infamous methods. The people will not stand it. There are thousands of Democrats in this State who are fully as much interested aa Republicans in seeing that the wrongs in our insane asylums are righted, the books of the treasury opened and investigated, and many abuses in the State institutions reformed. To prevent this the Sim Coy pane at Indianapolis is using every dishonorable effort imaginable. Cleveland Leader: Indiana stands to day a Republican State, and there is every prospect that it will g’ve a substantial Republican majority in 1888. Two years before the last preside!! Dal election tho Democratic plurality in the State was 10.924, and yet Cleveland led Blaine only 6,512. Two years before the coming presidential election the Republican majority is 4,000. The blindest men can see the significance of such a change as that. It ought to insure atleast 7,000 Republican majority in the next national election, and the Republicans of tho Hoosier State are entitled to unbounded credit for the work they hare done. Brooklyn Eagle: To political observers everywhere the Indiana result was wholly unexpected. Probably it astonished no one as much as the Republicans themselves. Nothing could be more ridiculous, however, than attributing it, as one of our morning contemporaries undertakes to do, to the attitude of the oppsing parties on the question of civil-service reform. Nowhere has the civil-service idea been received with greater disfavor than among the citizens of Indiana, whose partisanship is of that intense description which engenders and promotes faith in the spoils system as opposed to the civil-service system. Interest in Indiana politics for some time to come will center on the impending contest for tho senatorial succession. Orawfordsville Journal: It is indeed a “glorious victory in Indiana. The causes which Jtd thereto are plain; promises broken, bossism, entanglements with the Liquor League, disfranchisement of half the voting population, the dictation of the bummer and mugwump element, the general paralyzing of business, the class of men appointed to official positions under the federal government, and a thousand other things too tedious to mention, all conspired to tell the thinking people of the country that the Democratic party had outlived the days of usefulness, and that it must go down along with the other relics and institutions of aby gone age. The signs of the times point out the fact that the Democratic party, lame, halt and blind, paralyzed and mossgrown, toothless and rheumatic, must soon cross the rubicon and be buried in the grave of the lost cause. It has beeu demonstrated that its statesmen are living in an age one hundred years in advance of their ideas, and it must go, giving place to anew party of progress and honesty. Kokomo Gazette-Tribune: The history of American politics fails to show a parallel to the success of General Harrison in the Senate, springing, as he did, with one mighty bound fr.un the private walks of life, and entirely without congressional experience, to the senatorial seti*. Id original cease and force of char acter, in downright manliness, in clear-headed legislative ability, and as a leader on the floor of the Senate, he took rank with the foremost of that, the most august legislative body in the world. His failure to be returned will be the

lose of the State and the people of Indiana, rather than his loss. To a man of Senator Harrison’s commanding abilities as a lawyer, the assured and continuous possession of a seat in the Senate is? a losing business financially. He could, without dount, double his income by devoting his whole time to the law. The GazetteTribune. however, joins with the masses of the Republicans in the earnest hope that the latest corrected returns may make Ben Harrison his own successor. If this hope should be verified we will—well, we’ve got one old hat left that hasn't been burned. Elkhart Independent: It would soem that all the thugs, blood-tubs and Ku-klux were notin Mississippi, but that some had strayed to Indi anapolig. There is fun ahead with some of that class of gentry, who, rather than be taking up room on this mundane sphere, would be better off elsewhere. We admire the fight the Journal is making against the gang, and we hope it will never desist until every last thug is peeking through the grates. Judge Woods, too, is about the right man to bring these villains before, as they will be assured of unqualified justice, if -it takes a rope. No monkeying with the ballots, for the people are in no mood to be counted out. WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

B.—Among the passengers on board the Etruria none attracted more attention than Theodore Roosevelt, the leader of the Young Guard, who has just been defeated for Mayor. If the George men think that Mr. Roosevelt is cast down by his defeat they are greatly mistaken. On the contrary, he is very happy to-day, for he goes abroad to bring home a bride. The lady is Miss Edith Carroll. She is just nineteen years of age. and is the youngest daughter of Governor Carroll, of Maryland, a family famous for its ereat wealth and blue blood. A sister of the prospective bride recently married an English nobleman. It is at this gentleman’s house that Miss Carroll is staying. The young lady is a granddaughter of the late Royal Phelps, and entered New York society about five years ago. Mr. Roosevelt is about thirty years of age, and has been a widower about two years. He is very wealthy. The marriage will take place in London.

Escape of a Scoundrelly Doctor. Oscoda, Mich., Nov. B.—There is great excitement in this neighborhood over the escape of Dr. David H. Weir, who is accused of criminally assaulting Mabel Clark, a patient, who died on Saturday from injuries received at his hands. A similar charge was made against him several months ago, and the trial is still pending. Yesterday afternoon an indignation meeting of tho women of Oscoda and Au Sable was held at the Red Ribbon Hall, and an address issued to “The mothers, wives and daughters of Au Sable and Oscoda,” in which “Ail who love honor and decency” are called on to avenge the murder of Mabel Clark. The authorities are denounced for moving slowly, and the men of the community urged to see justice done. Harvard Degrees. Boston, Nov. B.—Tho honorary degree of doctor of laws was conferred by Harvard College, to-day, on George B. Robinson, Governor of Massachusetts; Lucius Q. C. Lamar. Secretary of tho Interior; George Frisbie Hoar, United States Senator from Massachusetts; Charles Taylor, of the University of Cambridge, England; Mandell Creighton, of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England, the Alma Mater of John Harvard; Sir Lyon Playfair, of the University of Edinburgh: Judge Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan; Rudolfo Lanciani, of Rome, Italy: John G. Whittier, and on the presidents of leading institutions of learning, eminent professors and others to the number of twenty five. George Washington’s Illegitimate Sod. Philadelphia, Nov. B—A.8 —A. E. Story, of No. 230 North Tenth street, has in his possession 200 or 300 pages of manuscript written by his father, which he intends to publish, in. order to establish the claim of Henry Clarke Rogers that he was a natural son of Gen. George Washington. Mr. Story states that the manuscript will never be given to the public. Rogers lived in this city, and died in 1865. His photographs show that he bore a marked resemblance to Gen. Washington. He had an abundance of money, and maintained that he was born and ed ucated in England, and had au income from the Washington estate. Mr. Carlisle to Leave Kentucky. Cincinnati, Nov. &—The Times Star this afternoon says that Speaker Carlisle, who is now, with Mrs. Carlisle, visiting their sons in Wiehita, Kan., will, after the end of the term in Congress to which he has juat been elected, remove from the State of Kentncky altogether, and will probably make his home at Wichita.

BLAINE AND THE CATHOLICS.' Bishop Ireland [lopes toEnroll the Maine Man A mum: the List of Faithful. The Gronnd on Which the Bishop Bases His Expectation that the Planted Knight Will Become a Member of the Roman Church. BLAINE'S RELIGION. His Leaning Toward Catholicism Causes Bishop Ireland to Support Him. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 8 —‘‘While I doubt very much whether Mr. Blaine could be nominated if he asked for the race in 1888, I believe that the Catholic influence is going to be wielded more potently for him than it was before the last presidential election,” said an Indiana Republican to-day, who has often sat as counselor around the Cabinet table. “There is a feeling among the members of the Catholic Church, taking them as a body,” he continued, “that Mr. Biaine will yet come out aud avouch his religious faith in the church he was earliest taught in. A few years ago I was at Minneapolis, on my way here from the Northwest, and a friend asked me to call upon Bishop Ireland, of tne Catholic Church. ‘lf you will do so,’ said my friend, ‘the Bishop will show you a letter which Mr. Biaine wrote to his mother, pledging his faith in the Catholic Church, and on account of which the good Bishop is for the man from Maine.’ “Well, I saw the letter. It was in answer to one which Mrs, Blaine had written, calling her son’s attention to his absorption in worldly affairs to the exclusion of preparation to meet death. She pleaded with him to look more to spiritual matters, though his political interests flagged, and the answer which Mr. Blaine made was one fuli of love. He said he recognized that he had given for years much of hts time and thought to politics; and recognized that be had not devoted that time to the church which he snould have given. But he assured his mother that he had not forgotten her teachings and the little church she took him to when a boy to worship. The letter closed with the assurance that he intended to return to his early faith and her church. The good Bishop is proud of the letter, and believes that Mr. Blaine will die in the Catholic Church. If the Plumed Knight were to die now thousands of Catholic churches would hold vespers. Mrs. Blaine was a devoted Catholic, aud to my personal knowledge Mr. Blaine clings to that faith.” Blaine Not Seeking a Nomination. To the Western Associated Press. New York, Nov. B.—James G. Blaine spent this morning in Wall street, attending to several business ventures in which he is interested. He dined with his nephew this afternoon. Mr. Blaine’s nephew, in talking about his uncle, said: “It has been said that Mr. Blaine is here for political purposes. I know that he is not, and that he came here to look after some of his interests. He has not expressed any opinion about the last election in this city. I heard him say, the other day, most positively, that he was out of politics, and that he was not seeking the nomination for the presidency, by the Republicans, in 1888.

NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION. The Comptroller’s Views as to the Effect of Redeeming the Three Per Ceuts. Washington, Nov. 8. —Mr. Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency, in an interview, speaking of the effect on the national banking system of the continuous calling of the 3-per-cent, bonds, said: “Whenever the bonda are called for redemption, the interest upon them ceases, but the Treasury cannot make the bank surrender its bonds and receive payment therefor. Many of the banks are satisfied to be deprived of -the interest on the 3-per-cent, bonds if they ian only continue to do business by allowing remain as security ia the bauds of the] United States Treasurer after they have beeii called. Only interest-bearing bonds are acceptable as security, under the national banking acfof 1862. The act establishing the national banking system, in one clause, made it neceasary that inter-est-bearing registered bonds of the United States should be deposited with the Treasurer, in order that the bank might begin business as a national bank; but in -a subsequent clause, which specifies the amount of bonds that must be deposited, the Vrords ‘interest bearing’ were not repeated, and for that reason some of the banks contend that, having complied with the first section by denositing interest-bearing bonds, they can comply with the second by continuing to do business on the basis of bonds which have ceased to be interest-bearing bv being called for redemption. But the Treasury Department has held that the law requires all bonds kept on deposit to be interest-bearing, and the opinion of Attorney-general Garland now simply affirms and confirms the rulings of the department. He says that about $7,000,000 of 3 per cents. are still outstanding and liable to call, and that three fourths of those called within the past two or three months have held by that Treasurer of the United States for national banks. Being asked what he will do if national banks do not obey the law and surrender the bonds for redemption when called, Mr. Trenholm said: “I shall ask the Attorney-general what I must do. You know a failure to comply with the law renders a national bank liable to forfeit its charter at any time; so that if a bank fails to keep on deposit the kind of bonds required by law, it may be proceeded against in the courts for the forfeiture of its charter, but so violent a remedy would be resorted to only in pursuance of an unavoidable public duty.” Tne volume of national bank curreticy at present in circulation, Mr. Trenholm says, is in round numbers about $217,000,000. He does not think that any considerable proportion of the 3-per-cent. bonds, now on deposit as a basis of national bank circulation, will be replaced by other bonds when called. Some of the banks, he says, have already notified him that they will go out of business. Whether any great inconvenience will result from these banks going out of business, he says, depends upon the number and importance of the banks that drop out of the system. Asa rule, he says the large banks wiil have no difficulty in maintaining the minimum deposit necessary to enable them to do business. MINOR MATTERS. The Treasury Makes a New Rule for United States Depositories. Washington Special. The Treasury Department has made anew rule relative to United States depositories, the effect of which has been already to materially increase the amount of the deposits. For Octo her the increase in national bank deposits was $1,853,386; in September, $14,413,253, and in October, $16,266,639. The law relative to United States depositories is very general. It has been the custom of the department to permit these depositories to receive and disburse government funds to 80 per cent, of the amount of the 8-per-ner-ceut. bonds which were deposited in the Treasury. As the 3-per-cent, bonds have been called, however, the United States depositories have been compelled to purchase the 4-per-cents, as the basis for the transaction of their business with the government, and in view of the large premium on these bonds and the additional amount of capital invested, the Treasury has deemed it expedient to allow the depositories a larger percentage. Accordingly these banks are now allowed 90 percent, of the sum tfcsy may choose to deposit in the Treasury in 4 percent bonds. The effect of this, of course, is to put some more money into circulation, as well as to induce the depositories to exchange their 3-per-cents for 4-per-ceut bonds, thus facilitating the operations of the govornment in calling in the 3 per-cents. The security of the government is absolute, and the Treasury officials see no reason why this additional percentage should not be allowed M ffce banks. The

government would be absolutely secure if funds should be allowed to the banks on a par with the government bonds deposited. There is a disposition iu the present management of the Treasury to use the depository banks as a more active agent for the government in its fiscal operations. To Be Surgeon-Generqj of the Army. Washington Special. It is now stated as a fact that the President has decided to appoint Colonel John Moore Sur-geon-general of the army. Colonel Moore is a lieutenant-colonel and brevet colonel, is an Indiana roan, stands eleventh in the list of seniority of service, and is at present assistant medical purveyor under Colonel Baxter. This appointment, which is expected to be made today or early next week, is, therefore, directly over Colonel Baxter’s head. It is said that the President’s real choice was Colonel Sutherland, but that Colonel Moore’s claims and influence, whatever they may have been, were too strong to be ignored. Moore will retire in 1890 and Sutherland in 1893. General and Personal. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 8. —W. E. Kurtz, of Indianapolis. is at the Ebbitt. Major A. J. Kelley, chief of the assignment division of the Patent Office, is back at his post again from his home at Terre Haute. He says the National vote defeated John E. Lamb for Congress; that it nearly all went to Johnston, and was a surprise to Democrats. The Supreme Court to-day granted the motion, made last week, to advance and hear together the telephone cases, six in number, now on the docket, and ordered that they be set for argument, as one case, on Jan. 24 next, at the head of tho calendar. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. News has been received of the death at Hottingen, Switzerland, of Gustav 11. Sftape, a pioneer beer-bottler of Milwaukee. Edward Hintou, aged seventeen, was killed by the bursting of a fly-wheel at the Milwaukee Cement Company’s works yesterday. At a negro festival near Stepstone, Ky., Saturday night. Will Bondurant and John Nelson quarreled about a woman, and Nelson was shot and killed. At Dayton, 0., yesterday, during a quarrel between Edward Mastain and Dennis Shaw, neighbors, and both married, the latter shot and killed Mustain. Shaw is in jail. At Cincinnati, yesterday, Charles Herron, exmember of the Board of Public Works, was honorably acquitted in the police court. He was charged by the board of revision with approving a fraudulent pay-roll. O. J. Hail, a prominent member of the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce, was found dead in bed at his residence on Prospect avenue yesterday. Cause, heart disease. The deceased was a native of New York State, and was in his fifty-ninth year. A wild freight train on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road was wrecked near Pewaukee yesterday. Seven cars were demolished: two were loaded with grain, one with flour, three with lumber, and one empty. Nobody hurt. Clause of the accident unknown. At a ratification of the election of Dr. Godfrey Hunter, the successful congressional candidate in the Third district, on Saturday night, an anvil exploded at Burksville, Ky., and killed Walter Haggerd. Jack Jones, the county jailer, Wm. Huddleston and Win. Richrey were also seriously injured. The body of Dr. Gardener, of Silver City, N. M., was found m Pushawa pond, near Bangor, Me., on Saturday. He was about thirty-five years old, and leaves a widow in Silver City. It is supposed another man, name unknown, was also drownad, as he went off in Dr. Gardener’s company, and has not since been heard from. Samuel K. Gay, of Pittsburg, the defaulting chief pension clerk, who pleaded guilty to twelve indictments for embezzlement and forgery, was sentenced by the United States Court, yesterday, to five years’ imprisonment in the Western penitentiary. He was only sentenced on one count, the others being held over. The defalcation amounted to about SIO,OOO.

McDonald as a Scapegoat. Washington Special. An Indiana man. who resents the charge that Senator Voorhees is responsible for the political defeat in that State, says the legislative issue was McDonald, and that fact nearly insured a Republican Assembly. The Democrats of Indiana are by no means a unit for McDonald for Senator, the old jealousy which existed between the Hendricks and McDonald factions being alive and entering into the recent canvass. The Democratic gerrymander would otherwise have made an overwhelming Democratic majority in the Legislature. In reply to the question as to McDonald’s chance for Senator, this gentleman says his (McDonald’s) frionds now regard them as slim. As far as heard from, there is but two majority in the Legislature on joint ballot. Governor Gray has a strong following, and this will be combined with the anti-McDonald wing, which will lay that gentleman out as cold as a wedge. An Issue Tnat It Did Not Point Out. Madison Courier. The Republicans did wisely in the beginning, as we then pointed out, in basing the State campaign on State affairs.—lndianapolis News. What about the temperance question? With the News this was the issue of all issues, and it thrust it upon the attention of the Republicans in and out of season. At the time the Repub liean convention met the News talked of little else, and as soon as the resolutions were announced the News, “its eyes in a fine frenzy rolling,” seized on the temperance plank and literally tore it to pieces. Now the News appropriates the credit of having shown the Republicans how to do it, when, as a matter of fact, the victory was made possible by kindly but firmly ignoring the fatal counsel of our much* respected contemporary. Express Messenger Fotlierlngham. St. Louis, Nov. B.—Mrs. Lizzie Roote, the mother of David S. Fotheringham, the Adams Express messenger who was recently robbed on the St. Louis & San Franc’uco railroad, a few miles from this city, applied to-day, through her attorneys, to Judge Thayer, of the Circuit Court, for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of her son, who. her petition says, is unlawfully restrained of his liberty by the officials of the express company, he being locked in a room at the Southern Hotel against bis consent, and that he is constantly in charge or under the eye of a detective. The court ordered the writ to issue, returnable to-morrow morning. It was learned to-night that indictments were found to-day, by the grand jury, against Fotheringhara, Detectives claim to have located a portion of the stolen money and to have evidence of a conspiracy between Fotheringham.

THE BULGABIAN SOBRANJE. Expectation that a Successor to Alexander Will Be Selected To-Day. A Russian Consul Gives a Poor Excuse for Presence of Gunboats at Bourjras—Dad Feeling Between France and Germany. BULGARIAN AFFAIRS. A State of Siege Proclaimed—Alexander’s Successor To Be Chosen To-JDay. London, Nov. B.—A Btate of siege has been proclaimed throughout Bulgaria. The Czar has telegraphed to General Kaulbars directing him to convey his thanks to those Bulgarians whoshow a desire to comply with the imimperial councils. General Kaulbars has caused a report to be widely circulated that Prince Ferdinand, of Ho henzollern, will shortly be proclaimed successor to the King of Roumania. The Russian iron-clad Mercure has arrived at Bourgas, the scene of the recent revolt, and is at anchor in the harbor. General Kaulbars has refused to communicate with his government asking them to name a candidate to the throne, because Bulgaria knows that Russia has declared the decisions of the Sobranjo to be illegal. The election of a prince will only occupy one sitting of the Sobranje. The reply of the Sobranje to the speech of the Regents declares that the Deputies fully recognize the superhuman efforts the government are required to make to maintain the law and peace, and are confident that the same abnegation will be continued until the throne is refilled. It also says the Deputies are mindful that their duty is to immediately elect a Prince to succeed Alexander. The address does not refer to M. Karaveloff. It concludes with: “Long live free and independent Bulgaria.” It is expected that the Sobranje will elect a Prince to morrow. In regard to the Russian gunboats at Bourgas the Russian consul there informed the prefect that a gunboat was required to carry communications to and from Russia, as the telegraph wires were broken. Gladstone to the Bulgarians. London, Nov. 9. —Mr. Gladstone, in reply to the telegrams of the Bulgarian Deputies, says: ‘‘My opinions and desires concerning the emancipated or autonomous provinces of the Ottoman Empire have always been the same. The liberties obtained for them from the Sultan I consider to be intended for their own use and benefit, and it is not proper they should he handed over, in whole or in part, to anybody else. It was a noble act of the late Czar to obtain the freedom of Bulgaria, bpt if she is to fall into servitude in that quarter, the nobleness of the act disappears" I cling to the hope that the present Czar will be faithful to the traditions which earned honor and gratitude for bis lamented predecessor. I have never thought it my duty to raise my voice on the present occasion, because I believe there is no difference of opinion in England on the subject and no reason to doubt that the sentiment of the nation is faithfully represented iu the councils of Europe by Lord Iddesleigh.”

FRANCE AND GERMANY. Causes Which Are Constantly Adding to the Mutual 111-Feeling. London Cable Special. While it is not at all probable that there will he any outbreak of actual hostilities between France and Germany for some time to come, yet there is a constant accumulation of ill-feeling between the two countries. On the German* side Colonel Koettschau has just published a book at Strasburg entitled, “The Next War between France and Germany.” It forms a reply to the pamphlet, “Avant la Bataille,” which recently appeared in Paris. After discussing the general phases of hostility which have existed for centuries between France and Germany, he goes iuto technical details of the modes of invasion and defense in the case of the next war, which he assumes to be inevitable. The latest aggravation on the French side is the publication of the Revanche (newspaper), which is devoted to the doctrine of revenge on Germany, and is full of oartoons of the most offensive character. One cartoon of last Thursday’s issue represents Prince Bismarck drinking a glass of beer, out of the foam of which emerges a little figure of Gen. Boulanger, at the sight of which the big Chancellor takes a great fright. Another represents General Boulanger standing under a sign-post pointing to Alsace and Lorraine, while behind him are the bristling bayonets of his followers. Still another cut represents a helmet, on which are the distinct lineaments of the face of Emperor William in the embrace of a skeleton, which stands by the side of a kind of sarcophagus. The government has made two or three unavailing efforts to suppress La Revanche, but it keeps going and has an enormous circulation. The bad feeling against France has increased to such ao extent in Germany that all attempts of the French government to induce Germany to participate in the Paris international exposition of 1889 have failed, and even Eugene Richter, the irreconcilable antagonist of Prince Bismarck, declares that the Reichstag would not vote a mark for an exhibit, even if the government were to accept the French invitation. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Decaying Jamaica Would Like Reciprocity with the United Staten. Panama, Nov. B. —Advices from Jamaica say: “The decay of this colony, which was once called ‘the brightest jewel in the British crown,’ may be gathered from the following figures, which show how the great staple of the country (suear) hag declined in cultivation during the periods named: The number of estates in 1832 was 653; 1847, 513; 1879, 216, and 189 in 1884. In reference to this decline, and the general depression prevailing, the Hon. Michael Solomon, a prominent member of the Legislative Council, and a large landed proprietor, proposed the following resolution: “Resolved, That the Legislative Council of Jamaica, assured that the continuation of the bounties given by foreign governments to the producers of beet-sugar must be ruinous to the cane-sugar industries of the West Indies, and of a very large number of the inhabitants of this island, this Council trusts bis Excellency, the Governor, will, in view of the proposed conference on the bounty question, bring these facts to the notice of her Majesty's government, and solicit that if such bounties are not shortly discontinue 1. this island be permitted to make arrangements with the United States of North America, or with the sister colony of Canada, on the basis of reciprocity, in order that our sugar products, now so seriously affected by the bounty system in the English market, may find more favorable outlook nearer home." The resolution was carried unanimously, but his Excellency, the Governor, President of the Council, remarked that there was very little chance of its having any practical effect Fred Archer Kills Himself While Delirious. London, Nov. B.— Fred Archer, the celebrated jockey, is dead. Archer’s death was the result of a pistol-shot wound inflicted by himself while in a delirium resulting from fever. It is reported that he was ill with typhoid fever. The first symptoms of the disease appeared on Thursday, after he bad been present at the Lewes races. When it became evident that his illness was likely to be serious, he was taken to his sister’s house at Newmarket He rapidly grew worse, and had been in a raging fever since yesterday morning. He was left alone Tor a few minutes, and his attendants, shortly after leav-

ing th sick room, hoard two pistol shots. Thef harried back and found Archer dying, he h&viaff shot himself with a revolver. Socialists Will Try to Save a Point. London, Nov. B. —The leaders of the Socialists announce to day that they have finally con* eluded to abandon the idea of holding a meeting in Trafalgar square to-morrow, Lord Mayor** day. They will probably try to form a proces* 6ion and march to Hvde Park. The police will watch the routes west of the park, and will provent the Socialists from gathering. The Socialism have decided to address a letter to Sir Charles Warren inquiring the reasons for the prohibitidh of the proposed Socialist demonstration on Lord Mayor’s day; also, to seud two members to Trafalgar squaro to claim the right of speech. If the two men are arrested no meeting will be held. A Hint to the English Cabinet. Paris, Nov. B.— The Republique Francais* says that in the interest of cordial relations between France and England, M. Waddington, French embassador to England, has conveyed to Lord Salisbury, the British Prime Minister, the opinion of France, that England would be well advised if she would take the initiative and fix a date for the evacuation of Egypt Before M, Waddington was instructed to act thus, M. Do Freycinet sounded the Cabinets of Europe for their views on his proposed course. Turkey and Russia, in response, cordially indorsed France's plans; Germany and Austria maintained reserve, while Italy answered unfavorably. Cable Notes. The Most Rev. William Delany, Bishop of th* Catholic diocese of Cork, is dying. The four-oared shell race between Hahlan, Teemer, Hamm and Teneyck. in one boat, and Ross, Lee, Bubear and Perkins in the other, was rowed yesterday on the Thames. Hanlau’screw won. A fire occurred in the Cathedral at Gran, Hungary, destroying several pictures and damaging the interior badly. The edifice had a narrow escape from total destruction. This cathedral is considered tne most magnificent modem building in Hungary. Cardinal Lavigrie has applied to the different European governments, asking, them to interpose with the Sultan of Zanzibar for the purpose of securing the missionaries in Central Africa from the hostility of the Arabs. He say* the Sultan aloue is able to influence the Arabs. Neighborhood Clubs for Farmers, W. F. Brown, in Stockman. I have made a careful study of “farmers’ clubs’* and bow to conduct them, for ten years, and in so doing have changed my former views considerably. lat first advocated county or township clubs as the best possible organization tot the farmer. I have of the best county clubs to be found anywhere, and I have □ever seen one that I thought would compare with the local clubs with which 1 am familiaf. In the large club the attendance is always irregular and the talking is sure to be done by the few. It is probably impossible to get a hundred or more men together in an organization without getttng some who are windy and verbose, and in the large organization the timid, who most need the training that preparation for, and participation in, the discussion would furnish, are giveu □o chance. The best farmers’ club in my estimation is made up of twelve or thirteen families, enough so they can meet once a month, and get round In a year, meeting at the homes of the members. It is well to have one extra family, so that in case of sickness or any good reason why a family cannot take the club at the time assigned the extra family can take it. The advantages of the small club are: 1. The member* are all thoroughly acquainted with each other from the start 2. The attendance is sure to be regular, for in a small organization of this kind each member knows he will be missed, and ten years’ observation in two clubs of this kind has shown mo that a member is rarely absent unless unavoidably detained. 3. In such a club every member is put on duty. The president assigns to the members their parts f*r each meeting and sees that all are called out, and every member takes part, and even the most timid soon find it easy to do duty. Our programme is prepared * year in advance and printed, in which is given the place and time of meeting, and the topics and various sub-topics to be discussed^

A Parable of Harvest. What hast thou in thy garner, husbandman! Good grain and fair. Then what are these black seeds full ill to scan! Cockle and tare. But toll mo. O thou toil-bent husbandman, How came thej' there? They would not rise before the winnowing fan, Despite my care. But how did spring the cockle, husbandman, And how the tare, Thy goodly land to plague? Beneath a baa I sowed them there. Declare whence came the seed, old husbandman—* With truth declare! The grain my fathers had not skill to fan Such fruit doth bear. —Edith M. Thomas, in the Critic. The Thieves Must Be Punished* Chicago Ipter Ocean. The political thieves down at Indianapolis should ask Mackin at Joliet whether “fine work'* pays. There should be enough pluck among the Republicans of the Hoosier capital to make lively fun for “the gang.” The people will be with them in such a fight.

It proposed to give him a lfW'ge" codfish cake and invite him to climb to tfie top of Bunker Hill monument to reduce bis flesh. The pain and misery suffered by those who are afflicted with dyspepsia are indescribable. The relief which is given by Hood’s Sarsaparilla has caused thousands to be thankful for this great medicine.
