Congratulations

To the People of the Country on th$ October Election.

The Victory won.

A Promie a nd Forehadowing of the Victory to be won in November.

The following address was issued Friday by the National Executive Committee of the Democratic party: To the I'enple of tin United Stated:

Fellow-Citizens—We congratulate you is patriots and partakers with us in the common destiny of American freemen upon the remits oi the October state elections. We rejoice in the victory which the people's ballots have bestowed uj on tie friends of reform in the valley of the Ohio, where the Republican hosts have had overwhelming ascendancy in every presidential election since 1826. We rejoice in the assurance these elections convey that your ballots will betow decisive majorities to the allied forces of Democracy and reform in theNoven'Der elections throughout the Union but we rejoice not as partisans. We rejoice with you as fellow citizens, and when the decision of this week of 1,000,000 voters along the vallev of the Ohio shall be ratified next month by the flat of S,ooo,eoq voters throughout the whole republic, we shall still rejoice, chiefly for the reason that not one of its citizens can miss an equal *hare with us, who are Democrats, in the political peace and good will which will then and there be established among all sections, races, classes and conditio of men, and in tho prosperity of which political peace based on equal rights and fraternal good will, is the first condition.

Upon the 3 states of West Va., Ohio and Indiana were concentrated all the influence of the administration, all their efforts, and all the vast sums of money Ibiced from 100,000 officeholders of the party in power. These were fearful odds, not again to be contended against so concentrated, for in the November election the contest will be in every one of tht thii ty-eight slates upon the same day. Nevertheless, against these odds the Democrats and reformers of West Virginia and Indiana have been victorious, and in Ohio they have all but rescued a state hi'herto deemed hopeless, and have created an assurance of victory in November. If it falls to our lot, as the national Democratic committee, to congratulate (lie people of the Union upon tins victory in the first battle of the reform campaign, it is only because the Democrats have been honored to be the leaders of the people in the work of national regenera tion. The victory won and the victory still to be won will be deliverance as much to the Republicans as to the Democrats. The patriotic masses of the Republican party may be thankful that the misdeeds of their unworthy leaders have been rebuked and arrested. The suffering whites of the South may lift their heads to greet the dawn of a better day for them as well as the nation at large. The colored citizen may share the general joy that he'will soon cease to be the stock in trade of corrupt politicians, but shall enjoy his rightful liberties and his equality before the law amid universal good will. As for the reform Democracy to whose standard victory has been tied with all her garlands on, it only remains for them to welcome every ally, every friend, close up the ranks and press on shoulder to shoulder under the banne., and with tire one watchword—re.form. Fellow citizens, peace between ali

these you have lxsen for years deprived by the mistaken solicitude of patriotic Republicans, played upon by selfish nnd corrupt leaders, who have kept warm the dyiig embers of civil strife in order to est ape the inspection of the trusts which they have betrayed. For 11 years you have had the nume of peace, but at' no time have had the substance of pease. In lit.: thereof you have had the grinding taxation and the wasteful expenditure of war. Just before evenelection every year you have had the preaching of a,new crusade against a section utterly defeated in war and anxious only to be completely redonciled in peace. For ti years the power ol the men who have seized away the control of their party from the hands of its statesmen and founders has been supreme in almost every department of the federal government. Discarding the hopes of prolonging their domination by beneficent public measures they have created and trafticcd upon public calamities. The policy they adopted has been worked out. Its failure has been absolute. In place of past performance these same corrupt and selfish leaders now proffer promises already broken as their titles to further trust. Having prostrated our manifold industries by vast aggregates and worst methods of federal taxation, they now again solicit your confidence as instruments of retrenchment, and reform. Having debauched the public service, and having just now in tlie face ofopen day assessed their army of 100,000 officeholders—the people*, servants, paid by K"e people's taxes—in order to create immense corruption fund.to frustrate the people's will, they now profess to be champions of civil service reform Having imposed upon the Southern states the rapacity, fraud, and plunder of carpet-bag government having almost ruined the prosperity of the North by destroying the prosperity of the South, and having created terror, uncertainty and confusion in all the productive industries of the South which fur nish most of the exports of our whole country, keep in motion the commerce and manufactories of the JWorth and East, and furnish a market for the agricultural products of .the West,| they now propose by a renewal of the same fatal policy to prolong their own power.in the hope of concealing their misdeeds, and for this purpose they de not hesitate to renew the cry of intolerance, to revive the dying memories of fraternal strife, and to appeal to the fears and prejudices of the timid and ignorant.

Fellow-citizens, these men and their measures have been completely tried, and have completely tailed. Oppressive taxation, an exhausted South, an impoverished North, a fluctuating currency, the. enterprise of an industrious people* lock «d &st in paralysis of hard times—such is the outcome of their political policy such are the achievements of their long •upnemacy.

Sweets by the Load.

Car

Two Hundred thousand Pounds of California Honey.

Where aVast territory Hitherto Almost worthless, has been Made Most Valuable —Difficulties Overcome in bee

Culture.

From tlie Now York Sun.

T»Ir. J, S. Unrbison, of San Diego oun--ty, California, arrived in this city yestcrlay with ten car loads of honey, each car :outaining 20,000 pounds. This vast aggregation of bee labor was taken from Mr. Harbison's six apiaries on the sides of the coast range of mountains, as near to the Mexican line as they well can be and yet claim the protection of the Stars and Stripes. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Harbison made astir in the bee world by selling at one time two thousand pounds of honev, the product of his apiary, near New Castle, Pennsylvania. So mti loncy had never be been raised by a single producer, and the sale led hundreds of iitaid farmers to embark in what looked like a most profitable field of industry. The result was not llattering. Short seasons anil limited bee pasturage forbade profitable bee culture. Old-lash-ioned hives were then the only kind known. The modern means of robbing bees without killing them had not then been thought of. 1 laving invented a hive that enabled the culturist to obtain successive crops of honey from the same colony of bees, Mr. Harbison began to look for a region that would supply the food for the bees. He searched for this in the equable climate of the Pacific coast, and found it narrow strip of country in the extreme southwestern corner of the United States, now known as the bee belt of California Sheep raising was the only industry of the native found by Harbison when he first visited the country. The country inland wa* thought good enough for sheep pasturing, but no one dreamed that the soil could he made to produce grain in paying qualities. Timber was confined to the bottoms of running streams and to thecanoras, the valleys and hillsides being covered with a growth of stunted brushwood from which sprang a luxuriant growth of white sage, sumac, and other flowering shrubs, which bloom there nine months of the year.

Mr. 11arbison's first apiarv was started on a.mountain side, twenty miles cast of San Diego. He embarked for the West, with seventy hives'of bees, but these were reduced to sixty-two by casualties. Fronj them he now has sik apiaries, and a total of 3,000 hives. He employs fifteen mfcn constantly, and is reaping rich profits fr0m many thousands of-ucres that must otherwise have been a hdrren waste. He sopn. had many imitatbrs, and now not less than three hundred persons are taking honey along the "Bee Belt."

Samples of the honey and a hive of bee6, brought East in one of Mr. Harbison's hives, are on exhibition in il. K. Thutlbcr & Co.'s warerooms.

The California bee season, Mr. Harbison says, begins by Feb. 1. In March or April" the bees swarm, and the bee culturist ha9 lively times in saving the swarms. The science has become so systematized now tliat the agriculturist knows within a day or two when a given hive may be expected to swarm, and as the young bees always settle somewhere near the parent hive at least once before selecting their new quarters, a swarm is seldom lost. The flowers are at the height of their luxuriance in May and June, and the taking of honey is be&un usually about May 20, and the bees are kept

At

work as long as the tlowers

last. They cease to bloom in sufficient quantity to more than wabist the bees in the earlcy part of August but tlve little workers are able to find enough to live on without consuming their stores as late as October. It will thus be seen that die harvest time is never longer than three months, and is often much less. After October begins, although the air is still mild andspring-like the bees cea«e to work, and retire into a semi-dormant condition. Once every eight or ten days a colony will turn out at midday and fly around for an hour or two in die sunshine, but they never fly-sorghum far from the hive, and are never seen at work.

The food of the bees in the bee belt is generally the flower of the white sage, a plant that closely resembles the garden sage. This is not to be confounded with the sage brush of Nevada and Utah, which is of the wormwood species, and has the family bitterness. Next to the sa^e in importance as bee food is the sumac, a shrub that gr»ws in California without poisonous quality. In fact there, is no pnisonoM8 flowering plant in the bee range, and the honey has none of the colicky qualities that make Easterngrown honey objectionable. The honey is graded by the culturist according to the plant from which it is derived. That made from sage flowers, being clearest and most aromatic, is most valuable.

Mr. Harbison' says that notwithstanding the great crop he has brought to this market, he will probably not realize

more than $1,000 after deducting expenses and interest on capital. He had to dig his lee rapch out of the wilderness. The roads thereto o-.er rocky mountain sides and deep canons, were built at heavy cost. The continuous labor of fifteen men is needed in the care of propagation aud harvesting. The hives, boxes ior shipment, and household supplies, iave ail to be transported from San Dieo, forty miles from his most remote apitrv. It costs about four cents, gold, to 'reight a pound of honey by water to San Francisco and by rail to New York.

Taking into consideration the commisions anil currency values realized here, there is no great margin left for profit.

She Wanted to Register. Yesterday fornoon a deterinind looking woman accompanied by a r.mall sized husband, who had a retiring air, called at the first precinct in the Fifth Ward, nnd the wife demanded to be registered, while the husband remained outside and whistled a lonesome tune. "In the name of twelve million downtrodden women I demand to be registered," said the womau.

In the name of the law Irrplv that I can't do it. replied one of the Bonrd. "You must!" '•I can't." "You shall."

I won't." "Then, sir, twelve million down-trod-e: 1 and long waiting females of America shall hiss your name to scorn and contempt forever more!"

It makes me feel bad,but I can't help it, replied the member. The woman glared at him for a minite, favored him with a double jointed, scowl, and'lien walked out. Her husband opened the door after she had closed itwith'a bang, and in a voice of deep lumility remarked: '(I did'ntwant to come along, but wa forced to. Don't think hard of me' gentlemen!"—[Detroit Free Press.

W11 f.n- Theodore abstractedly mean tiered through that sleeping car, seeking wheifc he might most comfortable flop l„wn and sleep the sleep of youth and innocence, perhaps he said to himself as lie paused before the fateful couch: "This tppears to be about the thing.

The Little Valley (Cattarug-.is county) Republicans of the 5th inst. tays: An interesting episode took place on train No. 12 yesterday. A young couple matrimonially inclined Had arranged to be married at the Congregational parsonage, and then take train No. ij. Rev. Mr. Stewart, who had delayed his visit to the Centennial a couple of days in order to officiate, was to take the same train. The roads were bad, and the couple did not arrive at the appointed time, and Mr. Stewart had to hurry to the depot to catch the train. No. 12 came, and the couple were still behind, but Conductor Martinc indly held the train for a few mcmeuts, and they were finally received on board. After the train started a hurried consultation was held, and it was decided to have the ccrcmony performed at once. Conductor Martin was authorized to invite the passengers to witness the ceremony, and the invita'ion was promptly accepted. The happy couple stood tip, Mr. Stewart made a few appropriate remarks 011 the responsibility ofthe marriage relation, propounded the usual questions, and then, while the train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour, ptonounced Mr. De Forest W. Roberts and Miss Mary A. Piatt to be man and wife. The ceremony was short but impressive, and at the close the happy couple received numerous congratulations, which were both fervent and sincere."

A CALIFORNIA ORY.

The San Francisco Post of Sept. reports the following: Joe Agillera, an old man, and Dcmor.lilo Cavelletti, his friend, were arrested Friday night upon a charge of "attempt to commit felony.,, •It is Sieged that Agillera wanted to marry Victorine Harvey, a young girl employed in a pickle factory. The girl would not have him. Cavelletti, to assist the old man in his suit, drew up a set of papers charging the girl with leading a dissolute life, and ordering her commitment to tho industrial school. The conspirators went to the girl's house, near Union square.

Friday night, and told her that unless she consented to marry the old man, the papers would be served. Agillera informed her that he was a police officer, and threatened to arrest her unless she complied with the old man's request. The mcnace was overheard by Officer logan, who followed the men into the house and arrested them. The section of the penal code which they are charged with having attempted to violate, says that it is a felony punishable bv not less than one nor more than fifteen years' imprisonment "forany person to take any woman unlawfully, against her will, and by force, menace or duress compel her to marry him or any other person." The bogus papers have been captured.

Tkrribi.e Reaction* ox a Bi rglar. —A burglar brokr into a pala'ial re idcnce, chloroformed the inmates, got possession of a United States bond looking box, fastened with a brass padlock, and carried it three miles into the country be fore he ventured to open it, and tha when he found in it only a cut-paper patt tein for a lady's nightdress, he threw the dark lantern into the creek, and,swallowing his skeleton keys, died in abject dtrtification.

Thesorghum crop in the mountain counties of Kentucky is said to be enormous. ^Linked sweetness long drawn out," says a local paper, "runs in rills down the mountain sides, and the trail of the is over them all."

The Democrats of Evansville, will jubilate on Thursday night also the Vincennes Democrats, on the same night.

His haggard eye is fixed on the guillotine, which he »ees for the first time. His face seems to reflect some object of an earthy yellow color. One of the executioner "assistants removes the jacket from his shoulders. The upper part of his shirt has been cut off, and his bear breast and shoulders were visible. The executioner seiz ed him by the left arm-pit. An assistant executioner seized hire by the right armpit. Another assistant pushed him lrom behind. A third assistant went rapidly by us and stood near the yoke which keeps the head motionless. The doomed man tottered as he came forward. He said to the assistant who pushed him, •'Not so fast!" but his voice was strangled, tor he had no salvia in his mouth, lie reached the scaffold. Its vertical plank came nearly up to the hollow of his breast. The assistants pushed the plank, which from vertical became horizontal, tripped up the doomed man, who fell on it horizontally, his abdomen next the plank. He tried to rise by exerting knees and arms, lie murmured some inarticulate words. The executioner and two assistants pushed him violently forward, so as to bring his head immediately under the yoke. The doomed man must have felt the sensation of a prson who falls down an abyss. The executioner bends forward to see if the neck is in proper position. His assistant lets the vokc fall on the domir.ed man's head. This yoke imprisons the head as if the yoke were a vice. The doomed man must have felt this fall distinctly. It must be as if he Were twice executed. All this took tune. I counted my pulse, ii beat four times while this was taking place. This is long. The cxeculioner raised a little lever. 1 he knife fell. It could be followed as it fell. It atlained its greatest velocity only at the close of the fall. The head bounced into a zinc bo::. It seemed tome 1 could sec, as the knife fell with an indistinct rumble, the doomed man's soul take flight. The headless corspc is tossed by the assistants into the basket, where it lies on ts back. The executioner wheels on his right foot and turns his face toward us, his back to the scaffold. He indicates by this final movement, which he never fails to make, that once the criminal beheaded his part is at an end. The rest is his assistants' business. One of them shook the zinc box to make the head fall into the basket. I r-aw it roll over and over like a ball on the bloody bran. I staggered and shut my eyes.

Mr. Disraeli at once started up and declared that "tkcre was not the slightest founda'i for t!i:^. statement, and that he gave it the mo.-t unqualified contradiction."

Now this was a very courageous thing to do. But Mr. Disraeli's courage carried him even farther Only liltv copies of the "Revolutionary Epiek" had been printed, and tlie work wns extremely rare. Mr. Disraeli issu -d a newedition as the easiest way of disproving Mr. Bright's allegations.

LIFE OF DL

London Examiner: But there are certain passages in Mr. Disraeli's career which are not models for imitation, and which suggest a branch of courage in which Mr. Disraeli occasionally showed himself deficient—the courage of f* nilting the truth. The world has we'.. ,igh forgotten the charge brought against xv! r. Stansfcld in 1864 of being privy to the Greco conspiracy against the Emperor Napoleon but few political events have created greater excitement for the time.

to take some ofit but, supposing sbe vas joking, he paid no attention to it. It ,hows, however, that the shocking affair was premeditated, and had been fully Us ussed and planned by the two girliil. ft is a very singular case, and all parties concerned arc extremely reticertfc 1 bou: it.

Honesty is the Best Policy,

One day about three weeks ag it strange customer came to a Gratioi aveuie grocer. He wanted some go xis, anil iic paid cash down. The next day be uade another purchase and paid cash, ind as the days went by his face and lvn .:ash became familiar. One day he returrv•d with the change given him and saflt "I believe I am an honest man. You» paid me twenty cents too much."

The grocer received it anil wa6 pleasQfk Two days ifler hatth «t»ang retUfh:.l from the curbstone to say:

Another mistake on your parttyotrJ. verp-iid me by forty cents." The grocer was glad to have found an 'lonest man, and puzzled to know how should have counted so far out of the ay Three da more and the stranger

Aed up a dollar bill in the sto.:r an J_ saW This is not my dollar. I found it tMl the tloor and you must take charge of ife*'

The grocer's heart melted, and he wondered if the world was not progressing backwards to old time honesty. A skip of one day and then the honest

lTflJn
