TiiuKi: months from tomorrow the democrats step down from the executive branch of the government and from the house of representatives. Tjiiktkkn is certainly an unlucky number for the democrats. Three re publican congressmen in West Virginia were elected by that majority. TifK democratic conspiiacy to steal the house of congress has been abandoned. The governor of Maryland issued certifi cates to two republicans last Wednesday. The fifth railroad bridge to span the Missouri river between Iowa and Nebras ka, and the second bridge over that rivet eontroled by the Chicago & Northwes tern system, will be formally opened at Slou.T City tomorrow.

Dakota is on her good behavior. But if she does not receive encouragement pretty' soon for early statehood, she will xend a blizzard eastward that will make the teeth of the politicians chatter all the way from Maine to Key West. -Bee. It is to be hoped that Cleveland's mes sage will be short; but it would be just like him to make it the longest one on record, as lie will never have anothei chance to write a document whiehj the newspapers will have any inducement to publish. Globe Democrat. It is rumored that the democrats will m ike a strong effort to admit Dakota as one state during the session of congress that opens today. But the deun crats are to late, ihey have sinned away their dr.y of grace and we will now have two republican states instead of one. DcitiNH the last fiscal year the tobacco tax yielded over $:JO.OOO,000 of revenue. As this tax is a direct burden upon . the producer, why not begin the work of re ducing the revenue by m iking tobacco growing and manufacturing free, like the growing and manufacturing of wheat, for instance? A judge in Janesville, Wisconsin, has decided that it is perfectly legal to have the bible read in the public schools, and parties who &ought to prevent the prac tice by means of an induction haye been non-suited. This decision is at variance with previous edicts in the same state, and the parties in interest declare their intention to carry the issue to the highet tribunals. It is nip and tuck between Kansas and 1'ennsjirauia which shall be the banner republican tate, but Kansas is about 500 ahead at the last accounts. Here ar; two states giving over 80,000 republican ma jority each, supposedly of very different interests one an eastern manufacturing state, the other a western agricultural state joining in an emphatic protest against the British free trade tendency of ike democratic parfy.

SOUTHERN ELECTIONS. It.is very certain that there will be a number of contested election cases from the South in the next Congress. The grounds of contest are not more pro nojueed or numerous than those which have been present in many previous cases during recent years; but southern re publicans have heretofore failed to con test seats which properly belonged to them, because they knew that a fair and just verdict could not be expected so long as the house remained democratic. It is now proposed to make a disclosure of the practices which have been resorted to for the purpose of compelling the election of democratic congrcssinene in republican districts, and to see if some effective rem-, edy can not be found for a wrong which is at once both a reproach nnd a peril to our institutions. There is no wish to vindicate the right of every American cit izen, white or black, to cast one vote and have it honestly counted. The right of each htate ti manage iU domestic affairs in its own way is freely conceeded; but it is uImo insisted that in so far as the inter ests of the tederal government are in volved in statt, fictions, the federal constitution must not be violated. The people of the whole country may properly demand as much as this from any state; and the republican party is pledged to respect and enforce such a demand. The familiar southern declaration that this imples negro domination in certain states is e confession on the one hand that the negro vote is systematically sup pressed, and a refusal on the other hand to accept t lie penalty which the constitu tion prescribes in a case of that kind. If the south is so much afraid of negro dom ination that she is determined to prevent the negroes from voting at all hazards, then why should she not be required to yield the political power which she holds by reason of the presence of the colored elements The fourteenth amendment distinctly provides that when the right to vote is denied to auy of tiie qualified voters of a state, or in any way abridged, except for rebellion or other crime, "the basis of representation therein shall be reduced" in the proportion which the number of such voters shall bear to the whole population of such state. This provision has existe.l ever since 1 SOS, and was intended to meet just such a condition of things as is now presented in the south. Is tli re any good reason why it should not be enforced t Can it fairly be called "revolutionary" to ask that the south shall cease to profit by her refusal to let the negroes vote, when the constitution explicitly says that such a result shall, follow such a proceeding? She can easily avert all trouble of that sort by permit ting the colored class to exercise the right of suffrage; and if she can not consent to do that, sli? is certainly forbidden to complain when the republican party pro poses to take away the advantage which she thus unjustly possesses. Globe De mocrat. MA A' UFA CTUJIIN G RECORD. Tli report from various manufactur ing Industrie? show that the general statu of activity is not only sustained, but t iat every week adds its quota of mills, furnaces and factories in which tires are being started. The compara tively few factories which shut down are more frequently actuated by special cuus.'i than by unfavorable trade conditions. Tli.- iron trade holds its activity. The output of pig iron is contracted for till the end of the year, and the indications are farther orders. Steel rails, while still 1 w, are in better request. The machine sliops continue busy. The tex tile mills are well employed, the outlook for e..tton goods being satisfactory, while some of the woolen mills are run ning their machinery over-time. The shoe f ictorics are still turning out a great many fall goods, and the orders already booked for the spring trade givts promise of a busy season. The activity of the paper trade is reflected in the erection of new mills and an increase of productive capacity. The ship-building industry appears to have fallen upon better times; not only are the Deleware ship-y :rds well supplied with orders for iro.u steamships, but the rise in freights lias installed new life in the coastwise trade, and tlie ilaine ship-yards are at prtsent quite busy, and anticipate a good season for the construction of wooden vessels. Tariff Bulletin. Dn-VEiuxo from every other state in the union, Nevada is falling off in her population. Admitted to the union in 1S'U: four years before Nebraska was admitted, she has now less than one twenti.th part of the present population of this state. With the failure of its mine's there is nothing in that mountain ous country to support a population. At the pr s.'iit rate of decrease it will soon b. u:i ible to sustaiu a state government, and ill : proposition is made to unite it with Utah, Ifeij.rney Ilub. Ckhtificatks have been given to Stock bridge, in Maryland, and Coleman, m L !i:siana, who were republican candi dafts for congress in their respective dis tricts. There was no reasonable doubt of thcirelection, but the democratic man agers demanded that certificates be with held from them. A mrt of the Bourbon cons; iracy to ste:d the House from the republicans lias thus leen defeated. THE ELECTORS AND THE LA W. There is some confusion in the public mind and perhaps among the Presidential electors, as to the date on which they are required to meet and t-.'.al their votes for President and Yitv P.. si 1 nts. audits to the data ot the delivery f li-ts.aml cer tificites to the Pivsid ;nt of the Senate. The United States I uv of February 3. IMS?, provided tint the electors of each State should in -et ami cast their vot'.-s on the second Monday in .1 mu iry, but this provision m idn it impossible for them to comply either with the law of Xew York (and presumably of other States) or with the Uivised Statute, which had previous ly been in harmony, ami which provided that the certificates and lists of votes for President and Vice-President should be delivered to the President of the Senate before the first Wednesday in January. To remedy this defect a law was passed and approved on October l'.l, 1SSS, which is probably known to very few persons, ami which certainly h is not been widely disseminated. It is important that it should be generally understood as soon as possible, and we print it in full; (rcur.ic-No. An act supplementary to the act ap proved February third, eighteen hundred and eighty seyen, entitled: "An act to fix the day lor the meeting of the elect ors of President and Vice-President, and to provide for and regulate the counting of the votes for President and Vice-President, and the decision of questions arising thereon." Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the certificates and lists of votes for Presiden and Vice President of the United States, mentioned in Chapter 1 of Title : of tht Revised Statutes of the United States, and in the net to which this is a supplement, shall be forwarded, in the manner therein provided, tc the President of tin; Senate forthwith after the second Monday in January, on which the electors shall give their votes. Secttion 2. That Section 141 of the Revised Statutes of the United States is hereby so amended as to rend as follows: "Section 141. Whenever a certificate of votes from any State has not been re ceived at the seat of Government on the fourth Mouday of the month of January in which their meeting shall have been held, the Secretary of State shall send a special messenger to the district judge in whose custody one certificate of the votes from that State has been lodged, and such judge shall forthwith transmit that list to the seat of Government." Approved, October 1'.). 1SSS. The electors in all the States now haw, therefore, for their instruction aud authority a precise and consistent statute of the United States, superseding all State laws, directing that thej' shall meet and cast their votes on the second Mon day in January, and transmit the certifi cates and lists forthwith thereafter to the President of the Senate. N. Y. Tribune. HO W I TSEE MS TO TIIE EN OL ISH The Wolverhampton (England; Ex presa and Star, commenting on the v suit of the late presidential election, s m that "It is an indication, to some ext.i: at lest, of a prepon derating anti-English feeling. It is equ dly a blow to the r" ing free trade party of the republic. Further it discloses the continuing im portance of Mr. Blaine as a factor in American politics. Cut beyond all else it estiblishes the invincible supremacy of the Irish vote." The journal quoted goe on to remark that for itself and the liberal party of England it cannot regard the result with satisfaction, and expresses the belief that "progress! ve political and economic principles ,and purity of polit ical life would have been better served if the election had gone against Mr. Harri son." The expression of regret at .the success of the republican candidate and of the principles which he maintained makes the acknowledgment of the im pressions produced by his triumph all the more interesting and instructive. It seems somewhat strange that an organ of the liberal party of England should re gard General Harrison's victory with dis.-atisfactiou, but we must remember that on the question, of free trade the majority of Englishmen of both parties are opposed to American ideas and favor those which tend to the advantage of their own country. The majority of the American people, however, in the late election supported the policy which best assures the prosperity of the republic, re gaidlrss of the opinion which might be entei tainen or expressed of their action by Englishmen, whether liberals or tories, and they will continue to do so. Irish World. Tiik governor of Tennessee has been advised by an eminent lawyer whom he consulted, that lie has no authority to throw out the republican votes of two entire precincts because it is alleged that there were illegal votes found in the boxes. All that can be done is to throw out the excessive or illegal votes, leaving the rest to be counted. If it is done, Mr. Evans, republican candidate for con gress froin the Chattanooga district, will receive his certificate. The republican policy as to the ad mission of n?w states is a very simple and practical one. Such admissions will ba made jut as fast as the territories give a snriieier.t guarantee that they can be' depended upon for anti-democratic m ijorities. DEMOCRATIC ADY ICE lO HAR RISON. The Democratic party is just now giv ing a good deal of unsolicited advice to Benjamin Harrison. He is told, for ex ample, by members of that organization, that there is one infallible way of break ing the sdid south, and only one, and that is by putting a southern democrat or two in his cabinet, and by giving the principal federal offices in that section to the same party. Therj must not only be no "carpet baggers" put in public posi tions, but the consistent, progressive and representative republicans of the south must also be ignored. No sensible person of any party, in the north at least, can seriously imagine that Mr. Harrison will adopt any such course as this regarding the distribution of federal offices. President Hayes, to some extent, followed such a plan as is here marked out. He turned his back upon the republicans in the south in some cases, and gave otHces to men who had been either open or secret enemies of his party. Iu this course the president was undoubtedly actuated by the best of motives. Like every other good repub lican, he was anxious t' blot out the sec tional line of politics, although, iu at tempting to do it, he took a course which did not meet the favor of his party. He wished to create "an era of good feeling" like that existing in Monroe's days, but did not take into account the changed conditions which made the failure of his experiment exevit ible and conspicuous. President ILuvis n w"l h ndly make the mistake cominitt i y Mr. Hayes. Undoubtedly !.e is as dv-i.ous as his pre decessor of twelve years ago was to sol ve the "Southern problem. "but in attempt ing to solve it he will not be guilty of seeking to efface partisan lines. Many important positions will be given to Southern men, but these w'll be republi cans. They will not be carpet-baggers, or any of the old scalawag element which always comes to the surface and gets into power in any war or other per iod of treat social convulsion when so ciety is shaken up and the bottom strat um placed on top. But they will be men who stand for the enterprise, pro grcssi veness mid enlight' nment of their section. The "Southern question" may not, and probably will not, be entirely settled by the Administration of Presi dent Harrison, but we feel confident that a good deal of progress will be made in that direction. Globe Democrat. Tiik winter king has announced his coming to the people of the east by on of the worst storms that ever visited the storm-swept New England coast. Tele graph wires are down and telephone wires are dumb with cold. Railroads are blocked, street cars stopped running and praying in the churches ceased, so bitter was the cold and terrible the storm. All along the beach the wreck age of vessels is strewn and the wail of the drowning mariner is hidden in the i -rce howling of the blast. How diffei e.it is this in Southern Arizona, one of the iairest, but most neglected and less 'wwn spots in all our country's domain. Grass is green on the hills and the roses bloom as tenderly and as sweet as on a May morn, but the world knows little of this and apparently cares less. They seem to prefer their cyelone-swtpt plains and icebound coasts to this land of almost eternal sunshine. There is, however, no accounting for the tastes and dispositions of men. Arizona Citizen. The Philadelphia Record says " it would be a g ;q I rule to admit no Ter ritory into the Union as a State with out sufficient population to entitle it to two members of the House of Represen tatives." But how about the number of votes which a Territory casts? This ought to count for something iu . de termining its right to admission. Dakota casts far more votes for its Dele gate to the House of Representatives than Georgia does for its entire delega tion in that body. Georgia sends ten members to the House. If Dakota be not entitled to admission as two states, then political fairness and decency de mands that some legal means be adopted whereby sqch States as Georgia can be placed for awhile in the Territorial stage. It is said that President-elect Harrison is in favor of some wise scheme for the conversion of the outstanding 4 and 41 per cent bonds into bonds bearing a lower rate interest. Two or three such schemes, and all of them advantageous to the Government as well as to bond holders, have been proposed within the last two years, but the democrats did not take any of tijeut up for fear the con sideration of that question would divert attencion from their scheme of "tariff reform." The republicans will probably find time to reform both the tatifE and the finances within the lifetime of the Fifty-first Congress. The White Caps, who have m lintainpd a reign of erjcr in Indiana for so long have crowed the border and are now committing outrages in Ohio. We shall see if the governor of the Buckeye State proves as apathetic in the matter of suj pressiug this lawless gang as did the governor of Indiana. Men,Wcmennnd Children Slaugh tered by Natives In Peru. San Fh im isc'o, Dec. 1. Advices from Peru, received by a Panama steann r, re port terrible atrocitic committed in the interior of the c untiy by Indians. The curate of Moyaro was shot and beaten to death with sticks and stones, and uheii his old mother interfered she was shot and her head cut off. Another woman who tried to save her was also killed.

A Lynching Party. Canon City, Dec. :i. George Wither ill, who is charged with the murder of Chas. R. McKain near this place about a month ago, and who, it is also charged, killed two other men in this state, arrived here this morning from Denver to stand trial. At this time (1 l:!)0 p. m.) several hundred citizens are on the streets armed with shot guns and revolvers, determined to take Witherill from the jail and lynch hitn. The sheriff's family live in a part of the jail aud the sheriff is trying to keep the mob off on the plea of having a very sick child. Harry Perdu, another murderer confined in the same jail, will likely suffer the same fate as 'Witherill. if the mob gains possession of the prisoners. European War Clouds. Gknkva, Dec. 4. It is reported that very important fortifications are be ing erected in Savory, outside of the neutralized zone f the Franco Italian frontier. The strictest secrecy in regard to the work is being preserved. Bkhmn, Dec; 4. A rumor is current here that the government will ask the reichstag to vote from 40,000,000 to 50, 000.000 marks for the equipment of field artillery. The West Virginia Recount. Charleston, W. Va., Dec. 4. The re count in this county was completed last night. The recount shows that Anderson (dem.) for congress from the third dis trict gained X.T iu this city, which elects him by 17.

We breakfasted on a bit of chocolate cake and a nip of w ine and a rank and rough cigar, and after a toilsome march, broken by tho chance that the telegraph wagons happened to le going our way a few miles, we reached Garze some min utes after 10 o'clock, and saw a French man hanging by the neck beside a well, Ids breast torn by liflo shots a ghastly spectacle, to warn the people that they must not jK)llute the water to prevent the German soldiery from drinking it. We pushed on, a shade sickened by an object bo repulsive. A beautiful bronze figure of an angel, the signal of the establishment of a benevolent sisterhood, appeared above low trees on the right. There was a remote rattle of musketry in the same direction, and occasionally the grumbling, beyond wooded hillj. caunon.
