This declares a deference to the effeetiTe ,iBdeteoelnt sunaort hi the' last campaign which ia it due.' The character ' of that support waa ' one which we otMrht to be glad to rain, .aad whiok we should use all honorable mad elf-reectful lueam to retain. A few days after the electioa, whea the choice of Governor Cleveland waa as surttd bevoad arsaoahk doat,' the iW saui: Governor Clcveiamel has heea elected by a combiaauoa of the best eloraeaU. of both parties and will come into kk, uew. rapo inabilities -under; the happiect aJujice6. The mea who have, ooatnbutetl most to his election are' reasonable men, more anxioua to "securo an honest and vi-orous Admiuistratioa for the couritry than to provide easy and Sofltable place for "themeelves. r The agwuntM have proved thoaaoelvoa a Seat deal more thaa an incident. They ve prepared for themselree aa honor able niche ia the cotiatry political hietorj'. and will coapy k.'v The eredit which we were then disposed to give them ia our profound satisfaction oyer the result, we are not inclined to qualify in the slightest sow. They have been considerate and discreet since the electioa they were outspoken and brave before it. They have done .nothing to lessen our belief in or respect for the sincerity of their declared motives, when they stood up and bore testimony to their love of country before party, aad their confidence in unostentatious honesty rather thaa in tbe most brilliant and plausible demagjogbm that ever tempted the patriotism of a great people. The Independents as a body have asked nothing for themaelves ia 'the new official distribution that will' naturally take place? They have taken a profound interest in the ntoreanents and rumors of movement "that are to have an. important hearing in sfaapiag the per soanel aad polkv of the incoming Ad ntinistration. That they should take such an interest both natural and proper. Perhaps we should expect them to be more anxious than Democrats even, for to many the complete justification of their course ia the recent campaign depends upon the moral and political success of President Cleveland's Administration. All thin the new President keeps in view. lie wanto the aid and advice of all who preferred him to, his most formidable opponent, no matter what their nominal political affiliations may have been .He shows a disposition to lay the foundation of a policy that shall be Democratic, catholic, patriotic aad National. He wishes the Independents to remain his friesdi aad to find ia the party of which he is now the most conspicuous representative, the consideration and fellowship that hare been denied them' elsewhere. DEMOCRATIC DIGNITY. Oeweerata Weatiag Their Laurels with Dignity aau Farhearaaee. It has been a grievous disappointment te our Republican friends to, had that the victors ia the late election still persist ia wearing their laurels with becoming dignity 'and forbearance, and that the disgraceful scramble for office which was so repeatedly and confidently predicted haa not yet taken place. Whv a p'artv, after such a signal victory over corruption, reckic ambition and uasaxunulous misrepresentation, could act with such marked moderation and discuss National questions and the change of administration so temperately is something that those who have been so loag fattening at the public crib can not get through their heads. Ia their onagri n and surprise they even accuse the Deenoerata of hiding beneath their good-natured imperturbability some dark designs against the peace and welfare of the 4,partv of moral idea," and that some terrible revelation will be made after the fourth of March. We beg these tientd people to poasesj their soule in paaee and not grow hysterical over otaatareH of their own Imagktatioa. . No stteh thought trouble the Democratic mind. The only danger to the "parly of moral ideas1' from the return of the people to power will be the bringing to light all unsavory documents bearing upon fraud, malfeasance in office, plots agahtet the interest, of the people and records of deals, rewards for party service byoMees irrespective of other qnalineatfoiM. There is a general belief prevailing that in the pigeon-holes of the departmeBt are to be found countless document of this kind, some of them involving even more than the good name of men who have stood high ia the councils of the Nation. Should any of these escape the general destruction of compromising records, wliiek will undoubtedly signaliae .the last days of the Republican regime, they 'might prove exceedingly inconvenient. The attitude of the Democrats, since their great victory, hag fount, admirer., however, among fair-minded Repnblieaeg; one of whom haa remarked: "It mast be eoaeeden that the Democrats party te bearing haelf In vietery with a "rwwMPlmyj taKamw eMMnl sea'ar'eWpB Jfcftt

Be is sure that to-day there, are among the population at large a greater number of persons hungering and thirsting, as it were, for bis elevation to the Presidency than can be shown to be hungering and thirsting lor the elevation of any other public man to that high position. He is free to commit himself to the opinion which he is not afraid to announce in the most public manner, that when the next Republican National Convention meets the demand for Blaiae'a nomination will be of suoh an overwhelming character that in comparison with it the demand that influenced the last convention in his favor was as only a gentle summer breeze, along side of a wild, sweeping and overpowering western cyclone.

The petitioners ask the senate to examine "these charges of criminal inter ferenoe wi.th free suffrage, and, if found true, that the entire vole of the States so offending illegally' cast for President and Vice-President may be thrown out" This soundi like a new version of Mr. Blaine's Augusta speech, in which he scolded the South in true Billingsgate style. lie does not seem to have yet recovered his equanimity, hut kt evhleatly still smarting under the oaetigation- administered him at the polls, aad rinding a congenial brother crank in Sherman, he lias likely concocted the precious document referred to.

How many of our young readers who have seen elephants in tho rueaagorie arc aware how these huge animal are caught? They run wild in the forests of India Ccylea aad other countries of Asia; aud once in awhile tho rulers of those couti trios determine to have an elephant hunt They begin by inclosing an acre or two of ground in the forest, and generally on the bank of a river; they put a fence of logs all around it so strong that the elephants oan not break it down, but with a great many holes where mon can pass through with ease There is a gate at each end, which can be closed or opened instantly; from the entrance gate two fences run out in the Khape of the letter "V," and each fence i from fire to tea miles long. For a mile or more tho fences are as strong aa the shies of the yard, but beyond it they are very slight. At the end of the yard, opposite the entrance, there ia a pen which will hold three elephaata standing side by aide, and there is a gate at the end of the pen where the animals can be lot out when desired. When all is ready, hunter are seat into tbe forest to drive in the herds. Elephant are very shy and will flee from the presence of men: tbe hunters endeavor to get on the side of the herd farthest from the yard, before they are discovered. Then the'aniruals move in the desired direction, and the great effort of the hunters is to have them go Sently forward until they are within the ae of the fsct, or in the jaws of tbe letter "V.1 "Elephants are afraid of traps, and when they conic to a fence, no matter how small it may be, they do not try to cross it In this way they are kept moving towards the yard, but the hunters do not Hhow thumeelvoa or make auy noise until the animals are inside tho strong part of the fences. As soon as this is accomplished there Is a great tumult. Fires are lighted, guat are fired, horn are blown, and the frightened herd dashes forward aad enters the yard. Tbea tbe gatu to closed aad the gauat beasU are fairly trapped. They run around the yard aad try to escape. In tltc pen at the end opposite tbe entrance, two tamu elephants are staBtling, and there is justroom for one of tho wild ones to squeeze in between them. Ho gooa in and tbe gatu is closed; then the two tamo elephants hold him tirmly with their trunks while men slip through the boles in the fence and bind the feet of the captive with strong ropes. When he is well secured the pen is opened and tho tamo elephants drag him tp the bank of tho river, where he is turned on hia sidd and left in the eare of a keeper. Then they go back again to thepen and assist in binding and dragging off auother prisoner. In this way the hunters secure as many aa are required and the rest are let out to return to the forest. Tho captured elephants are kept lying .on their sides without food or water until they are completely conquered. They are literally subdued by hunger and thirst, aa they receive nothiag until they throw up their trunks and make a peculiar sound, which indicates that they will obey their keepers. Then the ropes are removed from their feet, they are fed and allowed to drink ax much water as they like, and are driven off to the stable and put to work as readily as though they had been in captivity all tlteir lives. They are jmrfectly docile and do not show any desire to return to their wild life in the forest; and another curions thing is that they are ready to assist in capturing others In the way they themselves were Utken. Very often tho elephants that arc used for securing the wild ones iu tho pens, holding them while tho men arc tj'ing their feet and dragging them out afterwards, aro those which have been prisoners only one or two years. The oap tured elephants groan and show great distress while they aro being scoured; they twine their trunks around cash other, and frequently the tears run down their checks and they seem tw be crying like children. The tamo oaea do not manifest tho least sympathy with them, but, on the contrary, appear to take iritMumre iu their sufferings. It requires from live to eight Jays starve an elephant into sulMaUsioa, the time depending upon the condition of the weather. During: all tiiis time the keener stavs close by hie side, watohiig him through the day and sleeping between hie feet at Bight, aad thus making tag aaimiat accaalgnteijg ma present.

' EletriiauU are also oaught by drivin? them into pits which have beep carefully covered over with branches ami leaves. The pit are so deep that the animals oan not oilinu put, ana mere they tay without food or water till they submit. Sometimes when the hunters have thus taken tha elephants and Hit them in a pit they go away for two or three days aa thev knov their 'rame is aafe. It'is aid that in sotnu casee the companion of the captlyea have returned, and, by breaking on branches ec treC4 and threwutn them Into the pit, enabled their friends to get out and e0Rje. But it more likely that they leave the prisoners to their fato, as thoy would be afraid to venture where they might be oaught themselves. There is a very pretty fablo which is told in Siam and mna something like this; 'Once the elephant found the king of tho rata had fallen into a large jar from which ho could not escape. The elephant broke the jar with one blow of his trunk and tho grateful rat promised to repay him for tho service if lie over had an opportunity. Yearn afterward the elephant was caught in a pit: a parrot llcw over tlie siwt and the elephant asked her to go aud Udl the king of tic rats, which sho did." "In tho night the rat king came with millions of his subjects. They began scratching at the edge of the pit, and ao quietly did they work that the keeper who waa asleep within a tew yards' of them waa not disturbed. Long before morning they hail thrown down suf ficient oarth to till tno pit and enable, tho elephant to walk away and join hW 1 comiHtmons." 1 his is not unlike the familiar table of the mouse and the lion, arid probably the two stories 'have tho same origin.

One bright summer morning, over forty years ago, a little village ia North western Ohio was la a great state of ex citement because every ehlld in the village had suddenly disappeared before breakfast. There was reason for un easiness, for it was a new country, anu the fears of tho parents suggested wolves,, bears, or even Indians, though they saw no signs of them, n Tierc could the children have gone? Had they fallen iato the creek, or into the big rain-water troughs that ran across the end of each house? Each father ran to the creek, and each mother peered into her rain-water trough; but no children were to be found. They hadn't gone to the neighbors, for all were alike bereft. There were wringing of hands, and hurrying of feet, and shouting, and general bewildermcat, until Mrs. Ferreet paid she saw the marks of little, bare feet in the sand. Then all tho fathers started to follow the tracks, and all the mothers hurried to get breakfast, for they knewthe little folks would he very hungry whea they came home, which would surely be very soon. The tracks led along tho hot, sandy road, and tbe swift f;et of the nien J gained upon tho wavering steps of thu ittlo wanderers. They would soon bo in sight, the men said to each other as they hurried along. Yes, after half a' mile had k'OHW(i they paused on tho brow of a little hill, and saw in the hollow tlie lost children. Then half of. the father shouted Maryl'" and all tlie little girls stopped and looked back; and half the fathers shouted- "Henry!" and all tho boy stopped and looked back; and then both boys and girls began to run, but were soon caught by tho "father, who, now that tliey were no longer afraid that something dreadful had happened, grew angry, and began to ahakc. aad seold. , the chilelren. "Where were you going?" asked ono father. "To dranpa'n," said Henry. "To dranpa's," lisped Mary. Which Henry? Why, there was bat one. And waat .there but one. Mary? Only one. Thoee two were all the children there were ia the whole village And how big was the village? It had just two house and a ost-officc One house. waa of rough logs, and this was Henry's home. The other waa a board' lean-te," that was to be tho kitchen to a bigger houee, some say, whan Mr. Forrest got richer, and that was Mary's home. . Tlie post-ofllce was a poet with a boxon tho top. When the nailarricr came through the village very two weeks he left the mail In the box. Tho, whole village went out and helped' themselves to tlielr letters and papers. Tlie two fathers made the children walk homo, although Mary was not quite three years old, and wa clad onlyj in her Httlo night-drew. Honry was a . year older and was dressed. Mary has forgotten all. about it. bit her father says that even after forty years ho is sorry that ho did not carry hor home. 0r LUIU Ohm.
