years ago , having an aggregate oloc
tpral vote of ono hundred and eighty

Yorlc added , the republican candidate
will have a total of two hundred am

VICTORY SIGHT.
After a desperate hand-to-hand con
test wltlu forces intrenched behind the
alitio-t impregnable rampart ol federal ,
state and nulnlclpal patronage in the
great Umpire state , the republican
party is in sight of glorious victory. All
our advices up to two o'clock
this morning indicate that liar-
ribon and Morton have carried
New York. The plurality cannot bo
definitely given , but estimates of well-
informed men of both parties vary from
ten to fifteen thousand.
Indiana is also reported as carried by
General Harrison , although that state
is uncomfortably clo-)0 , as far as heard
from. Republicans everywhere are jubi
lant , and await with intense anxiety the
completion of the count and announce
ment of the full returns.
Our own btato , Nebraska , Htlll remains
near the head of the republican column ,
with at least twenty-live thousand ma
jority for the national ticket. The des
perate onslaught on Governor Thaycr
has somewhat reduced his majority ,
but left his competitor btill wnj
behind in the race. The plot of the
railroad managers to defeat Attorney
General Leeso has , wo feel confident ,
miscarried , although no pains and no
mearih wore spared to boat him. This
much , at least , wo feel safe to assert
with the incomplete returns that have
reached us up to the hour of going to
pre 9.
OR ANT VUFKATS HK\\'I1T. \ \
Hugh J. Grant , the Tammany candi
date for mayor of New York , ib elected
by a majority of from twenty to twenty-
live thousand , a most decisive victory
that will restore to Tammany the full
control of affairs in that city , which
incanb patronage amounting to fifty mil
lion dollars a year. At this writing wo
are not in possession of the vote re-
eohed by the other candidates , Hewitt ,
nominated by the county democracy and
independent citi/etisj , tirlmrdt , the re
publican candidate , and Coogan , the
candidate of the union labor party
but it ia evident that none
of these polled the vote ho
wab expected to do. and that Hewitt
especially foil far short of what ho and
his supporters hud counted upon. It will
probably transpire that moro or lesa
trading was done to the advantage of
Grant , for the interest of Tammany was
more largely concerned in his election
than in the success of cither the state or
national tickets , but a moro plausible
explanation is doubtless to bo found in
the fact that so far as Hewitt is concerned -
corned the foreign clement was gener
ally arrayed against him. Ho has un
questionably made an ollicient mayor ,
giving Now York city a cleaner and moro
bubincss-liko administration than it
bab had before in iv number of years ,
but his course in certain respects has
been offensive to the foreign elements ,
and in nearly all respects displeasing to
the democratic politicians of the Tam
many class.
Grant is the present sheriff of Now
York county , and it ia claimed for him
that ho bus made an efficient and honest
ofllcial. But his capabilities for the
much moro important duties of the
mayoralty have bcoti questioned. At
all events he is a thorough Tammany
partisan and his administration will bo
conducted on lines agreeable to the
wibhes of that political faction. This
means a complete change in the por-
sonel of the city government and the
transfer of the vast patronage into the
hand.s of Tammany , which , in view of
past experience , cannot bo regarded as
a cheerful outlook for the metropolis of
the nation.
SUPRK3W COURT ItUt'ORM.
The now chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States appears to
have infused seine now life into the
work of that tribunal. Going to his
duties fresh from an active practice , in
which ho had learned the necessity of
pushing the work to be done , and find
ing the docket of the supreme court
filled \\ith cases , some of which might
not bo reached for years under the slow
method that has prevailed with the
court , ho beouis to have determined to
reform the practice and to hurry for
ward the business. The bosbioiib
of the court last but four hours ,
and as the lawyers on each
side arc .allowed two hours for
argument the limit of the assign
ments is never reached , consequently it
is ditllcult for everyone to toll when
their caseri will bo reached , and the cal
culations have to bo raado by the clerk.
The plan of the chief justice is to rem
edy this , and it is bald that he has been
pushing the work BO vigorously that the
clerk has note frequently telegraph
everyone whoso cases were not to bo
reached until December that they are
likely to be called in a few days.
This is to bo commended , since it is
not to bo supposed that'a little uioru
energy on the part of the supreme
bunch will in the least detract from the
merit or value of the decision. Unques
tionably there has boon urgent need
of the policy which Chief Justice
Fuller is reported to have inaugurated.
But none the lesd the necessity remains
for providing n way to relieve the supreme
premo court of a part of the vast amount
of business that is continually presented
to it , and which must increase with the
growth of the country. Several plans
have from time totimo boon Introduced
in congress , ouly to bo burled In com
mittee rooms. The consummation to bo
desired is that the supreme court shall
bo enabled to transact its business so
that it shall not , as now , bo a refuge for
corporations that can afford to wait to
the great loss and Injury of these who
cannot afford to wait , and by delay defeat -
feat justice ,
r
THE PROTECTION OF FORnSTS.
Congress will bo asked at the next
session for legislation that will give
adequate protection to the forests on
the public domain. The Orst thing to
bo Boourod la the creation of a forestry
commission aa a bureau of the ln.to.rior
department , and congress will bo fur
nished with the facts showing the dep
redations committed in the forest area ,
which are sufficiently startling to coin- '
mand attention. The figures show Urnl
there has boon an alarming Increase in
the extent and value of timber depre
dations , though they were leas exten
sive last year than the year before and
in some previous.years , They amounted ,
however , for 1S57 , to over six million
dollars in value , of which the govern
ment received , but little moro than two
per cent , while the total of thcso doprc-
dationsiluring the last seven years has
amounted to the large sum of over thir
ty-six million dollars , of which the gov
ernment has recovered loss than half a
million dollars. These figures certainly
give borne iniprc ivcnuss to the argu
ment that there must bo a thorough
organisation of a forestry service in
order to effectually guard this class of
government properly , such service to
include a sulliciont number of forest inspectors
specters and rangers to insure full and
adequate protection for the remaining
forest preserves.
The duty and necessity of check
ing the systematic robbery of
the public timber lauds ib ob
vious , but there are other con
siderations quite as important. Re
ferring specially to the Yellowstone
park forests , Prof. Hogue , of the geological
logical survey , says they exert a powcr-
fuUnlluonco in sheltering the snow
fields , marshes and meadows from the
direct rays of the sun and the dry , mois
ture-absorbing winds from the west.
Strip the plateau and mountains of tim
er and early freshets would soon lay
aste the lower country in spring and
cave it arid and parched throughout
ho summer and autumn. There would
OCin to bo nothing wanting In the
rgumcnt of facts to convince congress
, hat further legislation is urgently nee-
ssary for the preservation and protoc-
iou of the timber on the public domain.
TiiK Iowa lailrond commissioners , in
heir decision in the cases presented by
, hc jobbers of Davenport , Dubuque and
Burlingtoncharging the railroads with
oiispii-iiey to maintain high and extor
tionate rates and discrimination against
Iowa cities , arraigns the roads for pur-
uing a policy regarding rates which
las been almost destructive of the man
ufacturing intorostb of Iowa and seri
ously detrimental to all interests in the
tato. Discrimination in inter-state
rates was fully shown by the evidence ,
nd while the commission is powerless
, o afford any relief from this ,
t is the opinion that a tem-
edy should be found in a fair
eduction of local rates within the state ,
f the state of affairs pointed out by the
' . commission is so greata detriment
, o the business and prosperity of that
itato , how much moro must Nebraska
suffer from the greater discrimination
> f the railroads against thib btate. Iowa
s highly favored as compared with
Nebraska , both as to inter-state and
ocal rites , and yet there is well-
'oundcd complaint there. The time is
icar at hand when our people will give
; i moro serious attention to this subject
than they have recently given , and
when there will bo action productive of
results.
NOT only Nebraska but Minnesota
among other western states is cursed by
railroad interference in its elections ,
The Pioneer-Press , a conservative news
paper , states thnt it has trustworthy ad
vices from authentic sources that the
railroad companies of Minnesota ic-
quested their employes to vote for cer
tain candidates. Of course such a re
quest was to all intent and purpose a
command. There are twenty thousand
railroad employes in Minnesota. If the
railroads can pull the strings and throw
the votes of this army of men for their
candidates , the railroads can control
the elections in tliat state. It is to bo
hoped that the railroad employes repu
diated this dictation of corporations as
ono man. The sentiment of the people
of Minnesota has too often expressed
itself to tolerate any candidate elected
by such questionable means in the in
terest of monopolies.
KASTICIIN' railroad circles continue to
bo very much interested in the move
ments of the Richmond Terminal com
pany , whoso recent absorption of two of
the most important and oxtcnsivesouth-
orn lines of railroad was the moat inter
esting event of the land that has oc
curred this year. It is now reported
that the Terminal company is seeking
to fasten its tentacles upon the Balti
more & Ohio , in order to secure a line
to New York. If it should be successful
in this , and also draw in the Reading ,
and it is not improbable that both maybe
bo done , the Terminal system would
have n route between the north and the
fcoutli which would become ono of the
great arteries of trade. The operations
of this company are being noted with
great interest in railroad circles.
NUYKII was n community so wronged
as Dakota has boon. Its exclusion from
statehood is a disgrace to the nation for
permitting the democracy to remain in
power. Its population in a few years
will bo in the neighborhood of a million
of thrifty , well educated , intelligent
people. Without the wheat of Dakota
there would bo a big decrease in the
yearly production of the United States.
There are two universities , there is an
agricultural college and normal schools ,
and the number and quality of its
charitable institutions will bear com
parison with these of the great state ol
Ohio. How many southern states can
show an equal number of educated clti-
y.enb or a corresponding degree ol
wealth and culture or the same amount t
of railroad communication ?
Fou the next three days the whole
community will bo figure-mad. After
that tlmo everybody will begin to ac
cept certain statements as definite , and
the fog will bo lifted for four years ,
The system Is excellent , all the same ,
though it does interrupt business , for it t
is a good thing to make citi/ons com
prehend thnt good government Is their '
business , their paramount business.
CONGIIKSS will bo expected at its nexl
session to give serious attention to the
question whether the trusts can be
reached and effectively dealt with by
national legislation. There were n
ecoro of anti-trust bills introduced at the
first session , but the subject was juggled
with for the well-understood reason thnt
both parties were equally careful not to
offend the combinations. The demands
of political expediency having been sat-
isllod , the wairlsjnow. clear for congress
to ascertain what is needed to protect
the people ng'ainlt the trusts and to pro
vide it. 0 *
Fou throe successive years have the
farmers of western Kansas lost their
corn crops by drought , and the consequence
quence is thnj they are in a state of ex
treme poverty % crging on actvial desti
tution. It hasl been suggested that
drought may bo prevented by tree-
planting , because it is caused by hot
winds , nml the force of these would bo
broken by rows of trees in sulliciont
numbers. It is true tliat tree planting
has been found etllcacious in Nebraska ,
as a remedy against thcso burning
winds that blow from the Ameri
can desert that stretches from the west
to the foothills of the Rocky mountains.

tor ho was bitten. Treatment bv in
oculation began on OctoberSJ , continued
until October 1 ! ) , when Bouvral was
pronounced out of danger. In an inter
view to-day Bouvrnl wild , speaking of
the Pasteur institution aud method :
' The patients do not remain there as
at a hospital , but have accommodations
at hotels and houses near by. I entered
the place and found myself in n largo
waiting room in which were
a largo number of chairs and
benches. This room was daily
filled with patients , between 150 undUOi )
being under treatment while I was
there. The custom of the institute is
first to inoculate those patients who
have been last bitten and who come last.
This is done so that the poison may lie
as quickly offset as possible. Being the
last to come , my name was called lirst ,
although there were many patients
waiting for treatment when I entered.
From the waiting-room I was taken into
a smaller room , whore one of M. Pas
tour's assistants took my name , my ago ,
residence nnd all about how I was bit
ten. This was done to determine
whether or not the applicant needs to
bo inoculated ; for if the dog in biting
did not draw blood there is no necessity
for treatment. From the registry room
I went into the operating room , whore
two moro of M. Pasteur's assistants
were in constant attendance. M. Pasteur -
tour does not operate himself , but the
work of inoculating is under his
direction and ho visits the insti
tute every day. I saw him sev
eral times while there. In order to bo
operated upon my side was bared and a
place just above the hip carefully
washed with some solution , then ono o
the physicians filled a small syringe
with the virus , a jellowish looking
liquid , nnd passed it to the other , who
gathered the skin in fold , passed the
pointed end of the syringe in between
the flesh nnd skin , and injected the
liquid. The first injection I could feel
all through my body , causing a stingint
sensation. It was hardly possible to tel
where the syringe entered after the operation -
oration was over. I was inoculated twica
a day , once on each side , alternating foi
the lirst live days , and for thirteen days
moro only once n day , alternating tin
sides. On October 19 I was "declaroi
cured and given a certificate to that
effect. 1 had felt no ill olTocts from tlio
bite , nnd none from tlio inoculation
While under treatment I mot mou
from all over the world , scarcely a
country on the globe not having its
representative. "
<
Dnnlol Webster Itofore a Jury.
From "Mon and Measures of Half a
Century , " by the Hon. Hugh McCul-
loch : Mr. Webster was the only man I
over know or heard of who united in
himself the highest qualities of an ad
vocate , orator , and debater. Ho has
never been excelled , if equalled , in
making diflloult and intricate questions
intelligible to jurors. Seeing clearlj
the real points at issue , nnd using Ian
guago that anybody could understand
his statements of the points at issue
were arguments. Ho never permitted
the minds of jurors to bo diverted from
tlio real question upon which a case
turned. Brushing nsido everything
tliat was not essential , the strong points
onl.\ were presented b.\ him , and these
with exceeding clearness. I was
struck with this tlio lirst tine
hoard him before a jury. Ho was defending
fending a man who had boon indicted
for forgery. To obtain a verdict it was
necessary that the state should not onh
prove that the forgery had boon com
mitted , but that the forged instrument
had boon uttered in Suffolk county
where the case was being tried. To in ;
surprise , at the very commencement o
the trial , before a witnqss had boor
called , Mr. Webster rose to his feet ntu
said , in a quiet manner , "May it please
the court , wo nlmit the forgery , so that
evidence on this point will bo unnoccs
sary. Wo deny that the note was ut
toivd in this county. " I was amn/oil a
this admission. To me it seemed to bo
giving away the caso. Hut the wisdom o
It soon became apparent. Wobstcr wa
quite sure thnt tlio forgery could bo
proved , but ho doubted that the State
would bo nblo to prove that the pane
had boon issued in Suffolk county. Hi
doubts were confirmed. The dofendan
was aqultod for want of proof on thi
point. If both the question of forgori
and the issue of tlio paper in the count }
had been presented , the jury mlgh
have regarded the forgery as the roa
question , and the defendant might no
have escaped the punishment which ho
merited. ,
Mr. Webster's eyes , although deep
ot , were so penetrating that few guilty
uon could endure their piercing gaze.
Ono of his clients In ca o of consider
able importance informed him
hat ho thought n witness
on the other side intended to
commit porjurj. "Point him out
vhen he eomo ; < in o tlio court room , "
said Mr. Webster. The witness soon
iftor appeared and took a scat in a
swaggering manner , when looking tow
ard the bar his eyes mot those of Mr.
Webster llxed steadily upon htm. Ho
mmodlntcly looked in another diroe-
.ion , but , as If fascinated , ho soon
turned his face again toward Mr. Web
ster , to meet thoio deep , penetrating
eyes , which doubtless Hoomod to him to
cad his very soul. Ho moved nervously
in his scat for a few moments , then
; oo and Inft the court house , to which
iie could not bo induced to return.
A Book For liupcoiiiilous Dukos.
New Yorlc Telegram : A new book is
in print in this country , according to
Mr. H. 11. Hottle , which will bo circu
lated only in Kuropo. It will bo plainly

by a strict agreement that ho will not
loan , sell or permit any ono other than
himself to u o the work , which will bo
called "Tlio Hieh Women of America. "
It is issued for the use of the iiuiie-
cunious bachelors and widowers of the
nobility of Europe. By "rich women"
the compiler explains ho means only
those who can sign a chock for $ i,000,000 !
without a quiver. The richest Amer
ican maiden lady Is a Olulian , who re
joices in the maiden name of Dona
Isulora Couslno , who combines beauty
with wealth. She owns enough real
estate and has enough mines lying
around that she could set up ado/oii en
cumbered princes with Chilian princi
palities. The "tip" is quietly given
that Dona Isidora proposes to visit the
Paris exposition next year. There will
doubtless bo a general polishing up of
rusty coronets before the exposition
opens.
Mrs. Moses Taylor with her $10,000-

scribed as another desirable parti from
n monetary standpoint. She lias some
Indian blood in her veins anil is a "job
ber" ' of furs in business life. "Mrs.
Tom" also owns thousands of acres of
land in Alaska. She is married nfter
the fashion which obtains in her coun
try ; in fact , she has really two hus
bands , but lately she has become a de
vout Christian and has discarded one
of her "worser thirds , " She may dis
card the other at any lime , and the au
thor takes the liberty to present her
name as a possible candidate for a Duke
dom and its debts.

Susy's
New York Journal : "It is my belief
that yon arc treating mo very badly , "
said Gilbert Armitage , slowly. "I have
scarcely Been you for a week , and be
tween rides , picnic * , dressing and par
ties I might as well not bo engaged to
you. Then Morse Jorinngham is always
hanging around. "
"You don't mean to say you are jcal-
ousV" pouted Susie Milnor. "I'm get
ting tired of being scolded just because
I choose to look at a young manI'm '
tired of this engagement. "
Ho bit his liput the carelessly uttered
words.
"Do you mean to say you want to bo
released , Susy' ? "
"I really do. " A little frightened
and yet hdlf pleased elm had dared to
toll him.
"Then you nro free. "
Ho turned abruptly on his heel and
left her.
"Let him go , " she cried aloud , with a
merry ilirt of the sandal-wood fan that
she hold. "Thoro are plenty of others ,
and I am pretty enough to win a now
swain ovori day In the year If I chooso.
Morse Jornlnghnm is not so handsome
or Intelligent as Gilbert , but ho is rich ,
and I always thought 1 should like to bo
a rich man's wlfo. So good-by , sweet
heart , good-bi. "
And Susv gayly waved her handkerchief -
chief toward the door through which
her swain had disappeared , and wont
into the house chanting a merry little
nriu.
"You are in spirits , Susanna , " said
Aunt Margaretta , who was dressing for
dinner. ,
"So I am. " said Susy , confining the
masses of hair thnt foil in a sliowor of
gleaming , rippled gold down her bade ,
"I've just dismissal ! n lover. "
"Gilbert "
ArmttagoV"
"Yes. "
"I am glad to hoar It , " Paid Auni
Margarotta. "Young ArmHugc wni
very well , but he's not as rich M eOtno
of the joung men here , and you are
pretty enough , Susy , to do al you
plcnso. "
"Of course , T shall do as I plcnac , "
said Susy.
The sun was just dipping , Hue a ball
of molten gold , in the ocean that evening -
ing as Susy Miller chine out in a superb
rluing habit of blue cloth and a tiny
plumed hat. while in her hand she held
a coral-handled whip.
Two hotvcs were led around to the
door by a groom at the same moment
ono white , with gray niano and tall and
tall ; the other a glittering bay , with nn
nrchod neck and slender limbs.
Gilbert Armitago , who was pacing mi
and down the esplanade with a cigar in
his mouth , stopped.
"You are not going to ride Brown
Diana , SusyV"
"Yes , 1 am. Mr. Jcrningham saya
she's as safe as a kitten. "
"Safol She's w ickcd aud skittish both ,
to my certain knowledge , "
"Lot mo persuade you to alter your
resolution , " ho cried out in the intuit *
sity of his earnestness.
Susy Mllner drew back slightly.
"You have no longer any right to
speak thus tome , Mr. Armitage. "
"I speak to jou simply as I would
speak to my sister , my mother or any
other lady whom 1 beheld rushing head *
long into danger. "
At thnt moment Morse Jorningham
came out , all apologies for having kept
Miss Milnor waiting oven a second , Gil
bert Armitago drew back , but a pained
look came over his face as he saw Susy
spring lightly to the sadillo on Brown
Diana's back.
Aunt Margaretta was standing at her
window , which overlooked the espla
nade and the ocean , just at dusk , wlion
there was a little crowd and emotion
below.
"Something lmsliunpcneil"said Aunt
Margaretta to hursjlf. "I wonder whatl
Oh , my God ! They are hringlnc a limp ,
lifeless llguro up from the beacli and it
is our Susy ! "
"Our Susy ! " it was. Brown Diana ,
warranted "as safe as a kitten" by Mr.
Jerninghnui , had taken fright at a load
of barrels in the twilight and thrown
her rider. Sus > Milnor had been picked
up lifeless and bruised , on a pile of
rocks that skirted the road , and now lay
between life and death , a broad gash
across her forehead , nearly all her front
teeth knocked out and an arm broken !
Poor Susy ! If only she had followed
Gilbert Armitago's advice that last
time !
"Do let me have the looking-glass ,
Aunt Margarotta ! I will have it , 1 say !
Please , Aunt Margaretta ! "
And the old dowager , not without
many misgivings , gave the little hand-
mirror to her nieceas she sat up among
the pillows.
False hair , false tcoth , a xi7.ag scar
across her forehead , and the pnlor of n
long , burning fever replacing the bloom
of former days ! Susy Milner shud
dered.
"Oh ! " she sobbed , as the mirror
dropped from her hands. "I hate my
self.1 '
"Susy ! Susy ! don't talk so ! " broke
out the quivering voice of Gilbert
Armitage , who was being admitted , for
the first time , by Mrs. Milner. "Only
give mo the right to comfort and cher
ish you. Only say , Susy , that j on will
be mine. "
"Oh , Gilbert ! you really cannot love
a disfigured creature such as I am. "
Ho stood reverently bv lior beilsido ,
looking down on her pale , hollow-oyeil
face.
"I used to think I loved you in old
times. Susy , " he said , "but I know
now that I never loved you half so much
as I do at this instant. Darlincr , jou
are my Susy btill ! "
She was. in very truth , his Susy. The
beautiful Queen of Hearts was dead nnd
buried in the sunset of that August day ,
but the loving , tendcr-souled woman
lived still. And in her wifely troth
Gilbert Armitago was content.
Emperor William's tour in Austria
and Italy is said to have cost not loss
than 10,000. The amount given to
servants of the sovereigns whom ho vis
its is something fabulous , and other
presents cost a frightful sum. For ex
ample , when the Emperor Nicholas vis
ited Windsor in 1813 , ho gave the
housekeeper 1,000. William took
with him from Berlin eighty diamond
rings , lf > 0 silver stars , fifty scarf pins ,
all richly jeweled ; thirty diamond
bracelets , six splendid presentation
swords , thirty largo photographs of
himself , with the empress and their
children , all in gold frames ; thirty
gold watches , with chains ( the correct
present to a chief ) 10- cigar cases , with
the imperial arms nnd monogram in
gold , and twenty stats in diamonds of
