IT is pretty well assured that Gov orhor Uill , of Now York , has boon re elected , and the fact is ouo of the fen which republicans uro called upon t regret among the results of Tuesday' election. .Hill is most thoroughly j demagogue , and neither by virtue o capacity or character is ho the sort o man to bo the chief executive of th < loading state in the union.

Seven now voacl have been recently projected frdi various points to iho Paclfio Ocean , am capitalists from the tlnltod Stales , am from Europe are besotting the govern nient night and day for charters. Iri th | wst few years that country hUs bccotii an unusually attractive field for tli investment of capital in railroad build ing. President Diaz and the Moxlca congress have been moro thti indulgent to capitalists. They 1mv not only given railroads larg grants of land and flhrtnclal supirar blit have guaranteed the conipnnlos ; fixed per cent on the capital invcste and Imvo granted them valuable ml nopollos. The liberal pbUoy oh Ih part of the government is the cause o the impetus to railroad hulltllnr.

The republican party omorgoa from the most memorable political contest since the election of Abraham Lincoln with victory porchlng upon its banner - nor < j. Ib. lias overcome n political enemy intrenched in power , and broken down barriers that Boomed al most insurmountable. With the solid south and its ono hundred and fifty-thrco electoral votes , democ racy had every reason to fool confident of success. With one hundred and fifty thousand oOl'co hold ers to draw on for its campaign fund and the patronage of Now York city and state at its disposal , it had a right to fool liivinoiblcv. In the face of such odds the capture of the qhicf eita- del of democracy by Benjamin Harrison is a political triumph withont a parallel in the annals of the republic. This brilliant victory is not merely duo to the fact that the republican stan dard bearer is a clean man , will : an unassailable record in public nnd private lifo , but the re sult of great moral forces that impelled a majority of the people of the Empire state to rally under the rcpubll can standard. The effect of this great victory upon the nation and its future destiny is cer tain to bo momentous. The chastening process of defeat four years ago has had its purifying influence upon tlio re publican party , and at the helm of the government will make it now more than over , a progressive and elevating force that cannot fail to oxcrt a most salutary influence upon the nut torial prosperity of this country. Wilt a republican chief executive , backed by a republican congress , the policies that have brought about the marvelous increase in wealth nnd populatior which this country has wituesso'.1 since the close of a devastating nnd exhaust ing civil war will again become dominan and potential. TIIC NEXT COXQRESS. The indications are that the rcpubli cans will control the house of represent atives of the fifty-first congress , ant the importance of this is not to bo over looked in computing the value of UK republican victory. In every oongrcsi since 1876 , with the exception of tin forty-seventh , the house has been demo cratic , and consequently during most ol this time the popular branch of th < legislature has not represented the pee pie. As everybody understands , thii democratic supremacy in the house has been due chiefly to ttio sup pression of the republican vote it the south , but four years age the republicans lost representatives it the northern states , chiefly in Nov England and the northwest , and thosi losses were only partly recovered tivc years atro. The advices at hand appeal loshow that they have boon fully recovered covered this year and sufficient gaini made to give the republicans a gooi working majority in the next homo. Regarding the senate , the presen political division of which Is , republican thirty-nine , democrats thirty-seven , th terms of tweuty-faix senators expire ti the close of the present congress , thn is , March 4 , 1889. Nearly all o these have been ro-dloctcd , whlli ono , Rlddlcborgort will bo succeedo by a democrat. It does no apponr probable that there will bo ahj Other political changes , in which cas < the senate of the fifty-first congrCs will bo politically a tto , With the republican lican vice president to give the castitif vote in the event of a tie on any ques tion. As thcro will be ho uncertain re publican in the sonata of the next congress gross , that body will be uniformly it harmony with the house and with tin executive , and thus every cb-ordinat branch of the government will ngaii bo in republican control for the firs time einco 1870 , the senates of the forty sixth and forty-seventh congresses hav ing been democratic. This situation of affairs will impost upon the party in power an oxtrnordl nary dohmnd for the exercise of It highest wisdom and patriotism in logis latmg for the general welfare and ad ministering the affairs of the govern mont. Having the whole duty and ro sponsibllity of conducting the affairs o the nation devolved upon It , it will hav as great an opportunity as at any porioi of its career to demonstrate its nbUit , to wisely and safely administer the gov eminent , with equal care for the intei ost9 of nil section of the country , ante to so vindicate- its claim to th confidence ot the people that 1 may retain an indefinite control of th government. There is every reason t believe that the party will not fall t realize the gravity of its renewed re flK > tiflibUitic3 nor undervalue thu chat actor of its obligations. It has learnt Rotnolhlng from past defeat , and th the lesson , wo feel confident , will not b dlbrogarded. Moreover , its distir guibhod loader has shown himself to b a man of such wise discretion and bouni judgment as to justify the fullest fail in thy wlBdohi of his cbuhsol and direction tion , If the hope and confidotice of intelligent tolligont and dispassionate republican are realized , tb.6 fdpubhcan party in a control this goverrimbtU for at least gencratUM , , , , _ M-- . . .

There wil a fep6rt eomo time ago thi the national corarniitee' h'ad boon r { que'sto4 by New York' democrats to rl place tlio southern orators with north' ' crn speakers , but whether or not such was the fact'thcro is nothing Incredible n supposing that many of these demo crats wore unwilling to bo Instructed ns lo their political duty by men whom Lhoy knew perfectly well had no Inter ests In common with them , nnd of the sincerity of whoso utterances they'wcro warranted in.entertaining doubts. From thp very beginning the poli ticians of the south dictated and con trolled the policy Rtul course of the democracy. Mr. Cleveland put his cause wholly in their hnndsnnd his nom ination was duo to their insistence. II was they who checked the movement in favor of Hill , which a few months be fore tlio convention was held was rapidly gaining in force. They know what they could expect of Cleveland , for ho had most amply attested his regard fet the southern politicians , and they brought their solid influence to ucur in his behalf..It was' these politicians who framed the national platform , as they had previously dictated the tariff mes sage of the president and drawn the sec tional tariff bill in the house. Every where , in the administration , In con gress , and in the inner councils of the party , the. dictatorial authority of thosa southern j > oliticians was potential , and when the campaign opened they wont to the front as the choacn champions of democratic principles. There were intelligent and patriotic democraUi all over the nortli who could not sit , at the feel < of these leaders , and who couK not help distrusting them , and whore- over there have boon republican gains they are to bo largely credited to those democrats who had the independence to refuse to accept instruction in democ racy from men who had abundantly shown their willingness to use the party in subserving sectional aims and inter ests. And to-day no men , wo venture to think , regard republican success with greater satisfaction than the demo crats who , in order lo rebuke the south ern politicians , aided to win the victory ruts anon'Ta OF TACOMA. The Northern Pacific has two term inal points , ono at Portland , in Oregon , the other at Tacoinu. on the southeast ern edge of Puget Sound. The whom harvests of Washington territory , and the products of the Idaho Panhandle , nnd of western Montana are finding their way to the now city on the Sound and are destroying the older city at th < junction of the Willamette nnd Colum bia rivers. Portland is , therefore , von much disgruntled , and the local boart of trade is being ? severely criticl/cd There is another caubo of wailing The railroad from Portland to Califor nla has its terminus at Port Costa , ot San Francisco bay , and it is dawniiif on the minds of the Oregonians tha Portland is simply a point of collcctiot for ultimate shipment to San Francisco Much of the wheat that used to bo han died by Portland now goes to Tacoma and the remainder is switched from tin Northern Pacific line at Portland t < the Californinn line and is on loaded from the cars and loadci into vessels nt Port Costa. It both events Portland is bereaved. Mucl of this was foretold when tno Portland ers rejoiced BO exceedingly over th Northern Pacific. Thcro was always : fear that the real terminus of the roai would bo at Puget Sound , and whoi Villard gave a conditional promise tha there should bo n terminus at Portland the far-seeing citizen felt that it wouli bo kept in spirit , only in the event tha the Cascade ran go could not bo tunneled The event proved that this feat of on glnncorlng was by no means so diilicul as had been supposed , and the consc quo i ) co is that Portland is losing mucl of its importance bccr.uso trade is fol lowing its natural channels. Tlio growth of cities in this countr ; is n subject roplolo with interest Everything is done with us on so vast i scale that those cities whoso develop mcnt is duo to conditions that are enl temporary , appear at the outset to hav passed the stage < 5f doubtful growth am to bo fairly rooted in prosperity. The , allure settlers , they invite capitalists and they promise much , but the ; achieve nothing after the tomporar , conditions Imvo boon replaced by permanent manont ones. Buffalo , the city t which the country pwos Grover Cleveland land , is a flagrant instance of remarkable markablo prosperity of this ovanescotv character. BulTalo simply acted as i stop-gap until Chicago was born , am then nil the grain traffic that h'ad mndi Buffalo prosperous and rich w.vs gath ered together by the new great city Chicago is constantly growing riche and greater because its prosperity i based upon permanent conditions. Bui falo to-day is Only a receiving point fo grain going eastward by the Erie canal It looks very much as if Portland 1 about to experience a similar fate , am that Tacoma will prove Its Chicago.

When I reaehci Portsmouth I was a stranger , but mj iwckots wore'fUlL'of hard cash , anu""thii fact encouraged mo greatly , as I knew very well it would make for mo all tin friends I wanted. After a stav there for some time I made the acquaintance of many people , and as I had u purpose in view , it was my lirst motive to gel into such circles as would bo of service to me. 1 wanted to know something ol the English navy and to got hold of the secrets involved in the building of theii ships. I found plenty of men whc claimed to know everything and offeree all kinds of services , but it did not take me long to pick out the men I though ) would do mo the most good. I novot thought that an olllcer holding a sub ordinate place would prove to b < my best friend. An inlimatiot was given rae that that'ofllcor hai same valuable information which , if he would give , would be worth its weigh1 in gold. I called at the ollicor's house one evening , nnet was kindly received I did not muko any bones of'tclling hin who I was , what I wanted , and what money I would give him for the inform ation ho possessed. Luckily , his wife was present at the interview , and she intended at first to withdraw from the room when the conversation began te assumo-u confidential tone , but at mj solicitation bho remained , and it was Well that she did , as it proved to mj advantage. After I had almost tivlkec the young ofllcer blind , and , as ] thought , got him to a pointwhero _ he would give mo the desired'promibo , he surprised mo by replying that his honoi was at stake , and his position as an officer in her majesty's ser vice would not permit him to grant mj request. I thought it all up , and as J rose to leave , I uaid : 'Make up * vout mind quickly , as I leave hero in ada > or so. The offer I make you will give your homo happiness for many n day and the secrets you reveal will never bo divulged. ' This did not mOve him and I loft the house , never expecting te hear from them. The next day , as ] was getting ready to leave my room at the hotoli I heard a gentle knock at my door. "Come | ln , " said 1 ; and whc should my visitor be but tha , ofllcoV's wife. She walked to the desk in m.\ room nnd InUl down a package. I Icneu that it Contained what I wanted. With out saying n iYOrd , she quietly with drew. Her presence In the room was not over u minute , but , as my hopes ahd ambitious wore centered in that pack age , it was an iiiiffol'a visit to me.

Gentletnon , do you think that man inado a mistake in marrying thai woman ? " As the listeners were till married men , smiles stole over their faces' , ntid as the application was one that involved hioro than one cjuestioh , they silently stole out of the room. A Detroit Free Press : In the spring ol JP03 every flehoinlriation of "qhinuliib- ter" currency had boon counterfeited and circulatcd.iuid every issue of green- backs.frorn the dollar bill to the twontv , had been reproduced by tlio "queer1 men. Counterfeiting flourished us neVer before * nor siricft. ' Anything that looHed like" money woulfl go , espiecially in the country towns. , The garig TvHicK vVoat wo'rkir/rf / ine tl and 92 plates was located at Stfh'dusky , but We did riot get this pointer until they had floated out ti peed manv thous- nnd ilollnra. The cnsotns nsslgnod tome mo , nnd I proceeded to'Snndusky in Uio pulse of nn army conlrnctor. I had no details whatever , but by hooping my eyes open and nlcklnp up n iioto hero and Ihoro 1 satlstlcd myself that our In formation was correct. Then I selected the most popular dniR store In the place , told the proprietor my business , and ar- ranped to mnlco n capture. Mon "shovintr the queer" will call at a drug store sooner than any other place of bussnoss , because they can purchase from suc-h a variety , nnd can 'carry the purchase away in the pockel. This druggist had been bitten several times , and was anx ious to help nab toino one. I felt that it was only a question of time when some of the spurious would bo offered again , and T was right. On the llfth day after I took up my station in the torc , ft respectable looking , tniddlo- aced man rushed in , holding his hand to his cheek , nnd cxclnlmccl : "For heaven's sake give mo some thing for the toothache ! 1 am almost cra/.yl" Tlio clerk hurried to piit up something thing- , the stranger danced around nnd groaned and moaned , and when ho re ceived the bottle ho handed out a felO bill and said : "Quick I've got to catch the train ! " The clurk glanced at the bill and be gan to make change , but stopped tntuko a second look at it. I started forward , but before I had taken five ? stops the man was off like a Hash. 1 pursued , but he dodged mo in the crowd. I went buck and looked at the bill , and lol it was a , Counterfeit , but ono bo nearly like the genuine as to deceive almost anyone except a civihier. For the next three days I did some tall hustling , and the result was to drive the gang out of Sandusky without having this lucls to arrest unvbody. There wcro four of them , and they had a job ollieo which turned out work for the public. The fellowh had put out at least $ iO,00l in the wefet , having several plates of dif ferent denominations , and the worst of it was they got olT with the plates' . Almost purely by accident I learned that one of the gang had a brother liv ing near Rocky River , a few miles out of Cleveland , and it was possible ho might go into hiding thcro for a time. ' As'this was the only trail I had I de termined to look the ground over. Going up to Cleveland , I got a hot-so and buggy for a country drive and started lor Rocky River. I was only well clear of the city when I saw a heavy thunderstorm coming up and had to look for shelter. 1 had to drive a couple of miles to find it. It was an old barn on the lower end of the farm. It was in a tumblcodown condititon. but there was a , shed under which I could put the horse. I was only two minutes ahead of the storm which raged for an hour and u half. I found n corner of the barn which did not Ionic , and for the first half hour I scarcely glanced around me. When I did eolno to size up the interior , about the lirst thing I saw was a paper package rest ing on a beam running across the barn. It could not have been been from any other position in the barn , and I may say it was the queer sound given out by the drops of water as they fell on the paper which caused me to 'look up. t had the package down after n dirty climb , and as I opened it out fell the plates of the counterfeits used at San- dusky every ono of them. There were plates for a $1 , &J , $5 and $10 bill , and for 10. y ) and 50 cent shinplasters , and the ink from the last impressions had not been entirely cleaned off. While I was swelling with the importance of my dis covery the storm passed over , and while engaged in doing up the package a buggy stonpcd at the gap in the high way fence and one of the two men in it jumped down and came running into the arn. He did not see me at lirst , but started to climb up after the package on the beam , I know then that ho was ono of the gang , and I grabbed him. Ho was a stout follow , and wo had a savage tussle for it , but I finally got the iroi'S on his wrists and made him prisoner. As soon as I seized him ho shouted to warn his companion , and before our struggle ended the man was a mile away. The one I caught was Sam Dixtni , a "queer man" of note , ana known to us bettor under the alias of "Sly Sam. " He was the chap who counterfeited the Bra/ilian currency and got rid of & 50- 000 worth before any row was raised. He kept n close mouth and would hot peach on any of the gang. Even when he got his sentence , which was for twelve years , ho calmly remarked : "Well , "bubiness will go ou at the old stand just the same. " SftokTllle Socially. Philadelphia Times : There ar6 many things to indicate that the position of Lord Sackville at Washington has boon irksome to him for a long time , and that ho hub been far from satislied with the icy formality with which ho has everywhere been received almost since he came to this country. Ho is astrango man with two idiosyncrasies that pe culiarly unfit him for anything approaching preaching popularity in this country. Ono is an exalted notloU of the impor tance of family and title , and the other n latitudinarlan disregard of the con ventionalities , especially those of the family lifo , that in this country , with out uh aristocracy to set a vicious example - ample are &o pure and strong. lu family interest ho hns a riocuiiai- interest to Philadelnhians as the pres ent head of the De LaWarrs , from whom the river and bay take their names. When ho came to this country , Instead of taking ono of the Now York stcainors , he came iu off the National line in order to sail up the bay to which his ancestor gave his name a century and a half ago. All who mot Lord Sackvillo , then Sir Lionel Sackville- West. on that occasion wore impressed with his hauteur , his narrowness and his generally unpleasant British pecu liarities. The present complication is really a social as well as a political one , aud it will possibly bo found in the end that the social aspect of the relation of Lord Sackvillo ana his family with the pi'e.s- ' idcnt and members of tlio cabinet and their wives may have led up to this climax. It is curious also that social questions have bcon involved in several of the changes that have taken place before in Lorcl Sackville'B diplomatic lifo. Shortly after his apnoaranco in Washington , when1 it became known that his oldest daughter was coming over and would preside at hjs house , ofliclal society was staggorod.by the discovery that the young ladies were daughters of differ ent mothers , and that Minister West liad never been legally married. This representative of tho'queeii , with utter independence of the ordinary conven tionalities , while aocoptlnp and educat ing those daughters , born in the differ ent countries where ho had represented her nmjosty's povohiuicnt , had declined to recognize their mothers. As a re- fault , official fipololy in Washington de- liljoratcd whether it could recognize either Minister West or the young ladles , who , through no fault of 'their own , he bad placed in this position. Tlio conclusion arrived at appears io have been to tolerate them and accent them . "officially , " but no further. At the reception which Minister West gave soon after hiA arrival Mrrf. Hoy6s consented to ttand by tWe side of Miss West. Yet not then nor slnco has Minister West or any member of his household received from any of the ladies of the successive cabinets nnj such social place as wns accorded , for instance , to Lady Thornton while there. Mrs. Gftrlleld studiously ignored them. President Arthur , being a wldowor.was very friendly disposed , and his atten tions to Miss West were at ono time bo marked ns to bo the occasion of much gossip at the capital. ! With the advent of Mrs. Cleveland in the White house the social status of Minister West and the Misses West in official circles completely nnd wholly " collapsed. She refused" ! peremptorily and uncompromisingly , to have any thing to do with them socially. Th'is was gall and wormwood lo Lord Sack villo and It is undoubtedly to this cir cumstance that Is owing moro than any thing else the departure of the Missus West for Europe. In this view of the cast ) Lord Suckvillo's letter assumes the nature of n Parthian shot. Cnlmitlnr of Honltli for Novcinbnr. American Magazine : With Novem ber's chill days , furimco 11 res are aglow and the great stove in the collar has be gun its season's work. After watching sick beds in rooms heated by steam , by open fires , by htoves and by furnace heat , I am decidedly in favor of the lust , provided sulllciont moisture bo added to the heated air before it comes into living rooms. Steam heat is too dry , open tires cannot keep up an even temperature nor warm a room in north ern mid-winter , and stoves burn oxygen from air too rapidly without providing a fresh supply. In a certain house where professional duty led uio every day of last December , thcro was not a daily variation of temperature of two degrees from 70 ° F. the whole month. Plants grew luxuriantly , and flowered in wide halls , nnd climbing vines converted more than ono rootr , into nn amateur conservatory. The master , a man of leisure and scientific mind , told mo that his delightful win ter homo wus heated by two furnaces ; that ho had discarded steam after e years" trial , and was satisfied. Ventil ation was fully provided for , and the sick chamber , whence my paticdt soon emerged , was attractive enough even to one who was leaving for bunnuer is- latulb of Caribbean. What is osbontinl , from a sanitary point , in boating houses , is to have the temperature oven throughout. Thcro is probably no better way of catching cold , of laying foundation for pneumo nia or bronchitis than stepping out of a warm bed into a cold or cool hall. Every bkin pore is open or relaxed , every nerve of resistance ) is half asleep , and the insidious chill that lias proven forerunner to so many dangerous diseases of chest and throat sends one shivering back to blankets that are some time in getting warmed up again. While sleep ing , room temperature bhould bo lower than the rcbt of thu house , kept so by open windowb , and if this suggestion is followed there can be no harm done by needful nightly wanderings. A proper range at night is 00 to 05 degrees F. besides the bed of those who tire given to those nocturnal excursions should always stand a pair of bedroon slippers , ready to be slipped on at short notice ; for cool currents of air are always play ing about floors and bare ankles are ex ceedingly sensitive to small tempera ture variations. There is a change of late years in the winter heat of American homos. With almost universal substitution of bettor forms of boaters for old-tlmo stoves , and better understanding of ordinary health law by the people , has come a cooling down of the suffocating temperature that made our homes dry forcing-houses and sent our people out into wintry cold about tu > well lilted to face it as if they were naked. Except in rooms where sick are , or aged persons , mercury should never rise above 70 degrees , nor fall below ( io degrees. A narrow range , truly ; but within such strict limit ? lies the 70no of health. Foreigners coming here in cold weather used to IhuT our houses insupportably - portably hot ; and moro than ono visit ing medical man has said to mo , "Now I BCO ono of the causes at work to pro duce American nervousness.
