I thought the country vote would, come np strong all over the State, as it did in my district. No one could regret more than I do the defeat of Foraker. for it will injure the Republican party for years to come." The most seriomi aspect that is given to the result in Ohio relates to coneressioral districting of the State by the Democratic Legislature. Under the old Democratic gerrymander there were sixteen Democrats In Congress and live Kcpnblicaus. At present the Republican gerrymander reverses the orde r, and there are sixteen Republican and live Democratic Congressmen from Ohio. It is conceded that the Democrats, by a new gerrymander, can gain from eight to ten Congressmen. Among those to be retired by this work are Major McKinhy and General Kennedy. WHY HE CALLED ALONE.

Mr. Cleveland Had to Sit for a Portrait, and Could ot Enter the "White House. Special to t!ie Tu'l:auaixlu Journal. Washington, Nov. 8. The reason Mrs. Cleveland dl not go into the White Houso with ex-President Cleveland on Thursday, when ho called on the President, is explained by the fact that she had an engagement to sit for her portrait, which is being painted by a well-known artist in this city. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland drove direct from the Bayard wedding to the White House. Mr. Cleveland stepped out of the carriage at the house and called alone on the President. Mrs. Cleveland gave the order to the coachman to drive her to a well-known art gallery here, and he drove out of "the "liite House grounds to that place. Later, when the carriage returned for Mr. Cleveland, he gave the same order to meet his wife at the gallery. They then drove to ex-Marshal WilsoVs house, where they were stopping. It is said that the now portrait is to be presented to the Corcoran art gallery in this city, but the ollicials of the gallery, up to the present time, deny that they know of the intended gift. A little fact which causes some comment among art lovers in this city may be noted in this connection. During her residence in this city Mrs. Cleveland never visited the art gallery. Once when she came here as Miss Folsom, and when Miss Van Vechten was stopping with Mr. Cleveland, the two guests made a short visit to the gallery. This is the only time Mrs. Cleveland has inspected the gallery, although during the years she was mistress of the White House the ollicials made preparations on several occasions for a visit from her, but she disappointed them each time.

The Republicans were apathetic the victorious party always is the year after a great victory but there is no defection among them. Some of them thought there was nothing at stake; others thought it was a good time to kick; still others chose the timo to nettle personal scores. But when the trumpet sounds for a national tight tho Republicans will all be in line again. We are not affecting to play Mark Tapley on Republican defeat, but with the administration and Congress in Rebnblican hands we can look at it with a great deal of com Flacency. It couldn't come at a better time, t can't shako last year's fruit, nnd will be out of the way for next year's trial. Have Themselves to Blame. Milwaukee Sentinel. In Iowa, where tho Republicans were bo strong a few oears ago, they have suffered the most signal defeat, nor can wo say that it is not deserved. It is tho proper penalty paid for promoting the rule of cranks. National politics had nothing to do with the result The people rose up against tbo men who have saddled Iowa with prohibition and confiscated extensive industries which were built up under tho sanction of law. The demagogy which has marked tho conduct of the Iowa officials and legislatures respecting railroads also had its part in leading to the result of Tuesday's election. When national issues are at the fore Iowa will return to her ancient moorings. Stupid Honesty of Foreign Capitalists. Hartfonl Courant.

I see that you appreciate the service which Alexander III is rendering to the continent. The peril to the peace of Europe, which the Russian Emperor has staved off by his resolute reserve, is greater than most people seem to think. It arises from Xhe restless ambition and nervous anxieties of a group of young generals who surround the German Emperor, and who aro continually plvmg him with arguments in favor of going to war at once. Prince Bismarck is much less warlike than his rival. Count Waldersco. But Count Waldersee is exceeded in bellicose urgency by General Wittich nnd one or two others who stand very closo to the Kaiser. Tho arguments of these advocates for immediato war are in brief as follows: "Germauy is surrounded by foes who wait but an opportunity to deal her a deadly blow. Never shall we be in a hotter condition to anticipate attack than we are to-day. We have now all the latest and improved weapons, the new magazine rille, the smokeless powder with which our neighbors are not yet provided. In a few years they will have all our advantages but just now we have them at almost as great a disadvantage as we had Austria in 1SGC, when the needle-gun swept away tho muzzle-loading armies of Francis Joseph. But that is not the only argument in favor of action. Our great generals are now very old. In a few years they will bave passed away. If we tight, now wo shall have combined monopoly of the greatest strategists and the newest weapons. It is a chance which may never recur. War, then, war, at the earliest possible opportunity, that is the obvious necessity of German policy." The German Emperor is inclined to take this course, but ho wavers, and hesitates between the young men aid tho old. For Bismarck is doubtful as to the wisdom of precipitating war, and he is understood to ho opposed to it altogether unless he can neutralize Russia. It was to this end that he employed all his eloquence during tho Czar's visit to Berlin. . Rnt h fuill nml failed utterly, to coinmit the Czar to anv arrangement with the triple alliance. I have received a very curious account of the interview between the Czar and the German Chancellor, of the accuracy of which there is no donht. Prince Bismarck, who for several mouths past has been pressing for the deiiuite annexation of Bosnia and the'Herzegovina to Austria, read the Czar a memoir in which he sought to prove that his policy had never been opposed to Russia, and that Russia's true policy was to join the triple alliance, assent to Austria's extensions to Salonica, and compensate herself by taking Constantinople, and whatever else she pleased of the Ottoman Empire. The Czar listened in profound silence. When Bismarck had finished he replied, 'I shall maintain my reserve. I can enter into no sucn arrangements." "The Czar," said Princo Bismarck afterward, "is inscrutable, incalculable, and immovable as a rock." In reality there is nothing inscrutable in the Russian Policv. The Crar wilU neare. He is not to be tempted into any policy of 'rniilipra bv TrnTiiio nf nlnmlar Pln liarliu fettlement was made against Russia, but Russia has accepted it, nor will she tolerate any change in tho 6tatus quo. She takes her stand on the Berlin treaty, not as the best or even as a good arrangement, but as the only possible means of avoiding war. From that the Czar refuses to be drawn, and that secures peace. Bismarck's great mistake has been his inability to understand the character of Alexander HI. He imagined that he could manage him as he managed his father. By his Austro-German alliance he thought he could overawe Russia so as to compel the Emperor to acquiesce in his policy. There was where he mistook Alexander 111. The Czar was not the least overawed. He was. however, naturally verv anxrrv. Instead of being cowed, he was indignant. So far irora ueiug coerced into an acceptance oi Bismarck's policy, he at once adopted a policy of calm and resolute reserve. He wants nothing but peace. He will not be seduced into a policy of aggression, the path to which has been mane easy to him in vain. He holds himself aloof from leagues of peace which are in reality leagues for. partition, and his attitude of armed abstentiou is at this moment the great safeguard of peace. . If the Czar had consented to accept Constantinople as the price ot his adhesion to the triple alliance war would soon have been arranged. Austria might .have annexed Bosnia. In that case the Servians in that province and in the kingdom would have llowu to arms. Or Austria might have been pushed forward to intervene in force in Servia. Then, again, there would be war. This, of course, may still be done, but it will not be done unless Germany feels secure of Russia confining her attentions to Austria or to Austria and Turkey. The lirst object of the war party in Germany is tho neutrification of Russia, whether by involving her' in an Eastern war or by bribing her with Turkish territory, is to them a matter of indifference. They would gladly see Russia involved in war with Austria if they were quite sure that Austria was strong enough to divert all the Russian forces. There, however, is the weak pom in their calculations. The Russians believe that they need not detail more than 200,000 men to render an effective account of Austria if they should be forced into war. The rest of their troops they will beep in readiness for German foes. As long as there is a strong mobile force in Russia available tor action on the German frontier, so long will the peace of Europe be freed from its greatest peril. Once let the Russian factor be eliminated or neutralized and you would see the longexpected war which any accident may begin, but the end of which no one can foresee short of the absolute extinction of one or other of the combatants. How would war begin? War would begin between France and Italy. It was arranged for this year, and Crispi is said to have declared that he would never have consented to impose the sacrifices which are crushing Italian finances if he bad not been assured that war was certain in Ma3 According to the plan of the warparty at Berlin, Italy was to be pushed forward to attack France This is no diflicult matter. Signor Crispi is a parvenu, whose head has been com pletely turned by the alliance with Prince Bismarck. France, however, will not go .to war with Italy, unless Italy takes-the initiative. Italy will not take the initiative unless secure of German help. Germany cinnot give that help until she has squared Russia. Russia refuses to be squared. So there will bo no war at least not yet, although no one. of course, can pretend to know what tho chapter of accidents ma3r bring forth. .... Russia will not begin war, but if she is attacked she will never end it until her assailnnt aiipr for neace. There is not much danger that she will beattacked becauseof the attitude of France. II once icuesia and Germanv are at war, the French nation, whatever government might be in power, would tling itself upon the German iron tier. If tho government refused, there would bo a reviiliiiifin no a nreface to war. JJut war there would be without any treaty or even innWMfMniimtr The French army could not be held in the leash when Germany was engaged in a Russian campaign, iience n Germany Rights Russia she must also light France.

ROYAI4 11 VKINO rOWUER CO.. 105 Wall street, N. Y. DOCTORS AROUND THE TABLE. They Enjoy Rich Viands, and Spend an Evening in Speakingn HonorofDr. Cravens. That medical and dental brethren can dwell together in unity was happily illustrated last evening, at the New Deni. sou, in the complimentary dinner tendered to Dr. Junius E. Cravens, wbo b as been secretary of the .Indiaua Dental College since its organization. The Doctor will leave for France next Wedueeday. Several years ago Dr. Bogue. of New York, established a dental otfice in Paris, and Dr. Cravens went with him, remained but a short time, and returned to the United States. American dentists are popular abroad, and tho business grew to great proportions. Dr. Bocae, having become rich and desiring to retire, has tendered thesuperin tendency of his business to Dr. Cravens, who has accepted. Prof. John N. Hurty presided last night as toastmaster, the following gentlemen being about the board: Medical doctors Harvey, Oliver, Wishard. Bray ton, Ferguson, J. L. Thompson, D. A, Thompson, Kimberlam, Garver, Taylor, Page, Cook, II. Jameson, Waterman. Uays, Elder, Potter, Woodburn, Stillsou, Todd, Compton, Kimberlin, Clinc; dental doctors, Ault, Martin, Baker, Alex. Jameson, Reeso, Hacker, Gates, Hunt, Wells; Messrs. Barnes, Herriott, Tedrow, Perkins and tho guest of the evening. Dr. Junius E. Cravens. After a pleasant introduction by Dr. Hurty, Dr. A. W. Braytou made a clever response to the toast "Medicine and Dent istry" in which ho paid a graceful tribute to Dr. Cravens, who is also a worthv member of tho Marion County Medical Society. Dr. Ault, of Kokoino. spoke to the toast, "The lloosier Dentist,' showing the great advance that had been made in tho profession during the past twenty-five years, and Dr. Stillson's speech was to the sentiment, "An Eye for an Eye and a Tooth for a Tooth." "The Y oung Dentist" was briefly responded to by Dr. Ktese, and The Specialist" was dealt with by Dr. Cook, whose remarks were exceedingly bright. Dr. Thompson made a very felicitous comfarison between Life in Paris ard ndianapolis," nnd gave the departing brother advice that would compare favorably with that given by the sage Polonius to his son Laertes when that young man was departing for Paris. Drs. Harvey, Oliver, Weils, Ferguson. Wishard, .Jameson and others spoke, expressing their friendship for the guest of the evening, wishing him a safe voyage and a prosperous sojourn in the gay capital of France. Dr. Cravens, in responding to tho abundance of good wishes, said ho was happy to make the discovery that he was so valuable a citizen, and noted the fact that the Indiana Dental College now had seventy stndents. and -was one of the most prosperous institutions of tho kind in the United States. This, ho modestly said, ho had, of course, had his share in accomplishing, but he wat only one of a team, and. as the college now had its wings spread for along flight, he thought it a good time for him to let go. The company broke up with a hearty handshaking and the expression that they all hope to see Dr. Cravens return at no distant day with a handsome fortune upon which to live during his declining years in the capital of tho Hoosier State. ASPHALT PAVEMENT. Washington-Street Property-Holders Consid ering the raving of That Thoroughfare. A meeting was held in Superior Court room No. 1, composed of property-owners living on Washington street, from Alabama, to Noble. It was called to take some "action on the proposed improvement in the w,ay of an asphalt pavement. At tho last meeting of Council a declaratory resolution to that end was passed, and the ordinance accompanying is pending. It provides for what is known as the Filbert vulcanite asphaltio pavement, and the general feeling a last night's meeting was in favor of aeEhalt. its necessity being concerted. Some, o we ver, differed as to the time when the work should bo begun, while others were willing to pay their share in the expense onli on condition that property-holders on W ashington street as far out as Statestreet enter mto the contract. am not in favor of laying only three Mocks," ea id Mrs. Ackman, who owns seventeen ieet frontage on Washington near East, 'because the expense will be pretty heavy, and the distance ii too short to be very noticeable. I will not sign a petition for it on that ground, but if we can have a pavement to State street I will consent." Bosweil Ward, the druggist, who also owns property along the proposed route, was in favor of the pave nieut, but bo thought work ought not to bo begun until the wiuter ended. He also nrged tho extension to State street. Clemens Vouuegut, jr., secretary of the meeting, stated that he had been informed . bv Air. Shearer, local manager of the Western Paving aud Supply Company, that if the ordinance was passed his companv would not bein work before early next summer. The work is to be done under the Barrett law, and it is estimated that the pavement, when completed, will cost 8.90 per front foot. This may bo paid in ten anuual payments, bearing 0 per cent, interest. Acting upon this information, Albert Gall suggested that a committee bo appointed to draft an agreement for tho signatures of those propertyholders who will support the ordinance. 'iiCti md ask." said Henry D. Pierce, whether thero can bo any competition m this matter I" "No, there cannot, according to this ordinance replied Chairman FrenzeL "It says the pavement shall be of one certain kind, which is made by only one company l the couutry." . . Mr. Pierce then spoke in opposition to the improvement, except on conditions. Ha sauted the whole street paved or none at ' , r tH' suggestion was then put in the form of amotion and carried, Messrs. Irenzel. Vounegut. Gall. Pierce. Miller, Koller and Karle being chosen as the coinin?t;e. It is not probable that auy report will be made to the Council before its next regular meeting. A cease l of Stealing m Watch. Frank H. O'Mallcy was arrested las night on a charge of petit larceny.
