paratively few went to the trouble , and

ANOTHER iBSSOiV.
Tht , republican B of Douglas county
liavo ngnin nufTorcd defeat , bccnuso
their con vonttons had econ packed by
reckless ward politicians who defiantly
disregarded public sentiment and the
admonition of these who bad the host
interests of the party nt heart. The
county is at best very close , nnd It was
apparent from the outset of the campaign
that disaster vras imminent unless n
united front could bo presented , nnd
only clean , competent men wore chosen
ns candidate ! * .
The attempt to force the judiciary
into politics only increased the discord
in the ranks of the party and furnished
an additional incentive for defection.
Whether the lesson taught will provo
ot any benefit in the future remains to
bo soon.
The bourbon * of the republican party ,
like the bourbons of the democratic
party , never learn anything. Within
the last four years half a dozen battles
have boon fought and lost for practi
cally the saino reasons that resulted in
the defeat that has juat"culminatod.
But in the face of all this experience ,
the party hits madly rushed on to cer
tain disaster , heedless of nil warnings
nnd appeals. " "
It remains to bo soon whether 18S9
will bo repeated in 1800.
27ZE TltimU S 0V
The democratic victory in Now Yorl'c
is n distinct triumph for Governor Iltll.
That aetuto and energetic politician ,
so far as the politics of Now York is
concerned , is unquestionably entitled
to nearly the on lire credit for a success
which makes the democratic party of
the Empire state stronger than for n.
number of years , and the signlflcaneo
of this will not fail to deeply impress
itself upon the democrats of
the entire country. It is well
understood that the ticket was named
by Hill , every man on it being his warm
friend and adherent , that the platform
was largely framed by him , and that
the campaign was conducted upon lines
laid down by him. The independent
press persistently kept those facts before
fore the people , and while not condemn
ing all the democratic candidates , ap
pealed to the element it represents
to vote against the men most
active and ardent in their sup
port of the political aspirations
of Governor Hill. But neither this in
fluence nor the unfriendly Cleveland
contingent appears to have had any ef
fect , nnd the wily manipulator of demo
cratic politics in Now York is congrat
ulating himself not only in the success
of the state ticket , butinlwvinggainod
several additional supporters in the
legislature.
This result has moro interest for the
democrats who will not tolerate the
thought of any other leader than Mr.
Cleveland than it has for any
other class of people concerned
as to the future ot politics. It places
Ilill easily at the head of democratic
loaders , whether the friends of the ox-
president will have it so or not. Ho has
an unbroken record of victories , and
that of Tuesday is oven moro important
to him than the one of last year , when
ho carried New York , and Cleveland
lost it , siuco it emphasizes the fact that
ho is the strongest democrat in Now
York. As that state will doubt
less bo absolutely necessary
to democratic success three years
hence , nothing could be moro certain in
politics than that Hill , if ho cannot se
cure the nomination for the presidency
in 1892 , will dictate the candidate , and
nnd it is equally certain that in that
event neither Cleveland nor nny
ether Now York man will got it.
Hill or a western man agreeable to him
will lead the democratic party in the
next national political contest.
The result in Now York has very lit
tle it any bearing upon national affairs.
The issues in the campaign wore wholly
state issues , and thcso will in all proba
bility bo in no respect affected or
changed by the result. .
THE TtnSULT IN OHIO.
The republican defeat in Ohio is
quite as much a personal ns a party re
buke. The ronomiimtion of Governor
Forakor for a third term was a grave
mistake. It violated a time-honored
principle which is Almost universally
held In great respect by the American
pooploospecially as to their executive
officers. But apart from this. Governor
Forakor had lost in popularity by reason
of a personal policy which was offensive
to many conservative republicans. It
will not bo denied that his administra
tions have boon in most respects highly
honorable to him. e found the state
treasury empty and the state unable to
meet the pressing obligations , the re
sult of two years of reckless extrava
gance under a democratic administra
tion. He took promjrt stops to save the
state from financial dishonor , nnd was
successful. Ho found the pub'lic insti
tutions wretchedly managed , and
tilled with corrupt and faithless
oinotultj , and ho replaced such ofllcials
with competent and honest men under
whoso management the institutions
were restored to their former good
character and offlclcnqy. For this
Governor Forakor was rightly honored
with a second term , to which ho was
triumphantly elected. This hearty and
generous expression ot the popular regard -
gard spoiled him. His political ambi
tion soon begun to bo conspicu
ously apparent. His friends pro
claimed him the coming loader of
the republican party in the na
tion and named him among tlio possible
candidates for the presidency , All this
ho encouraged in every practicable
way , not always discreetly nnd never
modestly. Moreover , ho arranged as
fur us ho could the mashlnery designed
to promote his ambition , nnd ho paraded
himself before the country its the os-
poclul champion of republican ideas and
uolioy which became embodied in the
term "Forakerisin. " The inevitable
olTcct of this course waste
to create distrust of himself
in the party , aa a man whoso Bclllsh
ambition must necessarily'mnko him
unreliable as a friend ot other men
booking political attvancomont on the
lines of his ambition , and to turn from
him conservative republicans who do
not bollovo that it is necessary to main
tain partisan rancors tuid hatreds. In
accepting the nomination for a third
term , after the * most posltlyo declara
tions that ho would not
bo a candidate , Governor
Forakcr demonstrated his capacity for
political intrigue and insincerity , and
in the conduct ot his campaign ho justi
fied the objections ot consorvtvtlvo
republicans. It was therefore "Forak-
orlsm" that was really on trial before
the people of Ohio , and thus it Is that ,
the verdict Is quite as much a personal
as a party.robuko.
The result In Ohio consequently has no
great significance from n national
point of view. It is true that the tariff
IPS no was somewhat discussed in the
campaign , but no intelligent man will
pretend that this question had nny im
portant influence in determining the
result , and it is equally certain that
whatever republican dissatisfaction
may exist with the national administra
tion , it cut no appreciable figure. The
loss of the legislature by the republi
cans is a moro serious matter than the
defeat ot the state ticket , since
it will very likely result
in the re-election of Henry B. Payne to
the United Slates senate , and thus
place the people of Ohio in the unen
viable position of having vindicated a
senator charged with having corruptly
bought his election , who hai never dis
proved the charge , and who is widely
believed to on guilty. But the rejec
tion of "Forakorism" ought to bo a
useful lesson to the republicans of the
whole country.
7m ; vinoTNTA
The defeat of Miihono was a foregone
conclusion nearly a month ago. The
defection of a largo number ot wbito
republicans at the beginning of the
campaign , and the growth of the revolt
as the canvass progressed , loft little
reason before the campaign was half
through to doubt that ho would bo
beaten , and when the colored loader ,
John M.Langstonwithdrowhlssupport
and abandoned the Hold the defeat -
feat of Mahono was assured. Having
introduced into his campaign moro of
artifice , trickery , insincerity and sel
fish scheming than ever before , in his
political career , ho drove from him both
white and colored republicans w.ho had
the intelligence to understand and the
courage to rebuke such conduct.
The result is that the democratic
party in the Old Dominion is moro
strongly intrenched , and greater and
moro prolonged effort will bo
required to dislodge it. Under
the leadership of a sincere ro-
public'in , having tno honesty to keep
faith with his party friends , and with
an unselfish ambition to promote repub
lican principles rather than a desire to
gtasp and control the spoils , there would
have been achnncoof materially reduc
ing the democratic vote in Virginia , if
not of freeing the state from bourbon
rule , but no different result than what
has occurred could reasonably
have been expected from Ma-
honoism. Republicans may re
gret that a promising opportunity to
mnko a breach in the solid south has
been lost , and the opposition there
strengthened where it seemed weakest ,
but if the lesson shall have tlio effect to
lead republicans in the south to reject
the leadership of men like Mahono the
overwhelming defeat of the republican
party in Virginia on Tuesday will have
one very great benefit.
danger threatens the exist
ence of the Union Pacific-Northwestern
combino. The allied forces could
calmly face the opposition of the Bur
lington , Rock Island or in fact any cor
poration of moderate strength and
moans , Put when the Pacific Short Line
proclaims war it is time for Holcomb
and Hughitt to pause , if not retreat
from the field. To attempt to do battle
with an enemy possessed of sixty odd
miles of graded road bed , two hundred
thousand dollars in the treasury and
unlimited resources to get , would
not reflect credit on their judg
ment or generalship. Lnto re
ports indicate that this mammoth
corporation , though young in years uad
experience , possesses an appalling appe
tite. If the assertions of the Mulhat-
tons in eluirgo are to bo believed , the
company has absorbed the Illinois Con.
tral , Pennsylvania Central , the Milwau
kee nnd a few branch roads by way of
dessert , and will in a few days masticate
tlio Southern and Central Pacific linos.
It is possible that the Northern Pacific
will be left out in the cold , unless
Villard plonds lorqunrtor. Surrounded
and menaced on every side , the .future
of the Union Pacific and Northwest
ern is full of. trials and tribula
tion. There is no hope of escape unless
they paolt up and leave the country.
Possibly this unusually Short Line could

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.
The Old WnlU Are Down and Nuw
Oncn ilulldlnc.
Those who have recently returned to
the city cannot fail to have scon the
vast open spuce whore the old Madison
Square Garden * stood , says the Now
York Commercial Advertiser. "What
was once the main depot ot the Central
road , nnd thereafter a plane of amuse
ment where hundreds of thousands have
gathered to witness tlio.endless attrac
tions of the circus , the horse , dog and
dairy allows , walking matches , concerts ,
bulls and pastimes of ovorv sort , is now
ra/.od to the ground , and shows a con
glomerate mass of bricks , stones , ce
ment , derricks and workmen. This
place that has catered to the innocent
pleasure of so ninny thousands is under
going only a metamorphosis. Already
the dim outline of a vast plan is to ho
see in the shapes taken by the founda
tion walls. Very hoon Iho Madison
Square Garden will again echo tno
sound of the chariot race and the tour
nament , and within its walls will ho
greater comfort and mnroof the healthy
amusement of the past than over. Ba-
/aurd will tempt the ahoppor , concerts
nnd theatricals will have a place , and
once moro the popular live stock dis
plays will como in vogue amid appoint
ment of the most agreeable kind. A
tall campanile will dominate the square
llkotho famous "Glrulda , " of Rovillo ,
which it resembles. On the roof will
ho seen an indication of a summer garden - '
don , whom those .who are tied to the
city iu the heated term may find enjoy
ment umid refreshing surroundings.

WICHITA WIDE AWAKE.
A Grand ItcBubmUslun fllcetlnc Hold
Grunt KiitliuMnNin Shown.
Wichita Special to the Kansas Cltj
Times : There was nothing but resubmission
mission talk on the Btrootq nnd in tin
city to-day. Old-tlmo Kunsnnssay thoj
never saw such oxcilomont over the
question since the prohibition cam'
yalgna. The strong prohibitionists whc
are loud ngainst rostiumisalon wore
forcotl to admit that there was a won-
ful interest shown in the matter , nnfl
were at a loss to explain the reason fet
it , while the republican polltlciano nnd
olnco-sookors arn moro nlarmod than
over. The cause of all the stir wtiB the
fact that n rosubmlaslon meeting was
booked for to-night at the Crawford
Grand.
When the tlmo arrived for the Moot
ing there was a crowded hotiso , and
wild onthusiam prevailed. Chairman
Bentley called the mooting to order
and mndo a short speech , stating that
the object was to have a citizens' meet
ing to consider some business propo
sitions. On referring to the fact that
re-submission was the business ( iuostion ,
ho was received with tremendous np-
plnuso. It hart boon proved , ho said ,
that prohibition had prohibited busi
ness nud breweries and labor , and the
saving of money in the cltv spent for
liquor had not prohibited the use of
liquors and ho urged it as business to
work for rcsubmission in the hope of a
change for financial benefit ana moral
improvements.
Colonel Tomlinson , who was to have
been the loading speaker , was delayed
by a wrecked trainbut was expected an
hour later , nnd Judge Shields spoke
with telling oiToct of the local situa
tion.
In presenting the Hon. Dave M. Ditlo ,
Chairman Bentley said that the victory
of November 5 would bo a victory not
of the democracy but of rosubtnission.
The statement was received with tre
mendous applause. Dale said ho wanted
to talk sense and not sentiment. Ho re
ferred to the fact that every year for
nine years republican oflleo seekers had
sad ! : "Don't vote In the line of resub-
misslon this year , but wait until noU- ,
nnd insisted that the people were tirctl
of it. There were loud cries of "Yes ,
yes. " The Sunday school police board
had resulted in increasing the number
of joints from llfty to ono hundred and
ilflrin increasing taxes by prosecutions
Lintl increasing the number of joints to
tell without revenue. Ho paid a high
coinpliinont to Senator Renlloyropubll- (
cnn ) for his rosubtnission speech , and
declared that should resubmission carry
in Sedgwick county this fall the repub
lican -politicians would Uilco the hint
nnd the next celebrated letter from a
United States senator would favor ro-
Bubmission.
The Hon. John Eaton , of Winliold ,
was received with loud cheers , and said
the prohibition law had dotitioycd tl.o
dignity of an oath in the state. The
republicans wanting ollico u anted to
defer resubmission action , but ho was
glut ! to sco ono county taking the load
in the resubmission agitation. Tlio
eyes of tlio whole state were centered
on Iho result of the resubmission agita
tion in Sedgwick county. Prohibition
had proved not temperance legislation ,
but led to free whibky and resubuiission
might load to temperance laws in that
it would regulate an ovil. The move
ment was against free liquor and in
favor of restriction.
Colonel Tomlinpon arrived at 10
o'clock and spoke for an. hour on tno re-
submibsion idea and the meeting closed
with three cheers for the rcsubmission
movement which seemed to bo joined
in by every ono of the .hundreds pres
ent.
ent.Ail seemed greatly pleased with tbo
mooting. Republicans said they wcro
glad they could vote in the direction of
resubmission without being called
traitors. They were glad the meeting
was hold * and insisted that another
should bo held next WCOK. They have
caught hold of the idea that should the
next election result in such a way as to
show this county is for rcsubmission it
tvill bo the starting of a resubmission
tvavo that will roll across the state with
tvondorful rapidity.
NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Dion Floclcine : to tlio Ittiucs in tlio
TrniiHVnnl.
Ono of the first African explorers who
inado his way across that continent
records that at ono place in the far in
terior the natives wcro using placer
jold in their old muskets as a substi-
tuo for load shot , says the San Fr.incis-
co Bulletin. The former was worth no
moro to them than lead , nnd the infcr-
anoo of tlio explorer was that the gold
must ho abundant , as the natives ob
tained it without any great exertion.
Recent accounts of gold discoveries in
the Transvaal republic in South Africa
70 fan to confirm the theory that tlio
! * olil mines yet to bo explored in South
Africa may bo as productive as tlioao
ivoro in California- Australia. Ono
town bos sprung up Johannesburg
} ii the edge of the gold ( Iclds that now
contains forty thousand inhabitants.
The yield in sixth months of the pres
ent year of thcso mines has boon four
million dollars.Thcso mines are scv-
sral hundred miles beyond the fa-
nous diamond mines ut Kimborly.
rho latter mines are already con
nected with the sea coast by a railroad.
Men are now Hocking. to the
? old mines in the Transvaal republic in
'rout numbers. In all such mining ex
citements there is a great donl of fiction
nixed up with the facts. But far be
yond the Transvaal republic , in Mashu-
m land , there are are reports of won-
lorful discoveries , surpassing in ricli-
icssany heretofore known. The natives
ire extremely hostile to the whites.
3ut the latter nro pushing on to thcso
nines. If the gold is there , it may bo
isaumod that no native hostility will
coop the minors out. The latest theory
s that the real Onhlr is in Mubhuna
and. But it may bo noted that Ophir
s always mo.vod along to the richest
nines that nro found. towcvoron the
.hcory that Solomon procured his { , 'old
for the temple from the southwest const
ot Africa. Ophir might ns wall bo lo ' ' . ' -I
cated in the mysterious Mashuna land
tin elsewhere , until tbo tioxt famous dis
covery is mailo in Africa. Nothing of
consequence has for some ycnrs
boon reported about gold in
Contrnl Africa. Vnjjuo nccounts
nra given from tirno to tlmo
of natives who have both gold nnd ivory
to exchange for goods. Africa , as a
gold-boarlng country , is virgin ground.
The theory has lone provatlod that it is
the nchost gold country in the world.
This theory is partly supported by tra
dition and in part by mich accounts ni
have boon given from time to tlmo by
explorers. The isoHtod. traveler could
do Httlo in the way of gathering information
mation about the mineral resources of
the African continent. That was not
his business. Tlic-so early explorers
only incidentally mention the finding of
gold , nnd it were really of no great im
portance in comparison with other ob
jects to bo attained. But whenever
the fact i clearly demonstrated that
there nro rich gold Holds in Africa ,
nothing in the olimnto nor the hostility
of the nntlvo population will keep back
these who are in Bonroh of the golden
flooco. The dlscovorv of vast gold Holds
in Africa might bo disastrous to the na
tives , but it would introduce a orudo
civilisratlon , the pioneer of a still bet
tor ono , which will ono day take posses
sion of the entire African continent.
THROUGH A WARTERSPOUT.
The Ilomnrlcntiln lixncrlouoo of tlio
American Stonmililp Hnntlnqo
Among the roportsof the HydrographIc -
Ic Bureau for October is the1 following
remarkable account of a witersrout by
Chief Olllcor Calloway ot the American
stuamship Santiago :
"On the 2 ! > th day of April , 1880 , at
about G:1IO : a. in. , lloyal island ( ono of
the Bahamas ) , bore about south , distant
four miles : windhght froinsouth-south-
west , weather partly cloudy. Obaorvod a
waterspout formlngofT the btarboard bow
( ship heading south west ) and moving in
direction of steamer at an angle of three
points. On account of its close prox
imity , was about to steer clear of it ,
when I observed it breaking , about
thirty yards from the ship. Immedi
ately afterward the steamer passed
through the outer edge of the whirl
pool , the diameter of which t should
judge to have been about fifty to seventy
yards. On passing through the outer
cdgo I observed that the center was
hollow , the water circling from west to
cast , or against the sun. The water
that foil on deck was very salt , and the
drops as largo as a M-cout ) piece. Dur
ing the few seconds of our passage
through it the \\iutl blow at the rate of
about thirty or thirty-five miles per
hour. I did not observe any culm in
the center at all , the water arising from
it resembling an inverted foun
tain. After clearing the whirl
pool the wind resumed its original
force , about tiifeon miles per hour.
Being the ofllcor of the watch , I had
little time to obsor\o the b.iromotor ,
but it fluctuated one or two hundredth ! ) ,
and then resumed its previous1 reading.
The clouds above and around Iho snout
were very ragged and much disturbed ,
similar to these in a thunder storm ;
their motions were very rapid , ascend
ing , descending , nnd breaking away
from ouch other after the water hail
been absorbed into them. The water
was whirling very rapidly for several
minutes after the break , showing what
tremendous circular force there must
have been. I may mention that upon
passing through it the steering ot the
ship was not affected , so that if there
were anj * current at nil it must have
boon circular nnd confined to the cen
ter. "

Cremation in France.
It will certainly take a considerable
time before ttie frcnch become familiar
with the system of burning instead of
burying their deaJ ; but cremation may.
nevertheless , now bo said to have a rec
ognised position in France , and to render -
der cremation popular at all events
with the humbler classes of society
everything has boon done to make the
process cheap , says the London Stand
ard. The prefect of the Seine has just
given his sanction to a tnriir for burn
ing the remains of persons who may
themselves , or whose relations may ,
prefer this system to burial. A
uniform and moderate charge ot
50 francs is mndo , this in
cluding the right of depositing the
ashes in a columbarium which will
shortly be built by the city of Paris , and
leaving only the "urn , in which the said
ashes nro enclosed , to the cost of the
relatives. Moreover , in the case of
persons who are certified by the mayor
of the commune-in which they died to
have been in very necessitous circum
stances , no charge whatever will bo
made for cremating' ' their remains , or
for keeping , during a period of ilvo
years , what remains of the body after
the burning process. Nothing is suid
ns to what will become of the ashes at
the expiration of tbo five years ; but
probably , as the bones of the dead are
now every three , live , or ton years , ac
cording to the length of lease of the
ground , removed from cemeteries to the
catacombs , so the aahos will bo collected
and placed in some general receptacle.
Betting in Amtrln.
Theorists who assort tlint the evils of
turf gambling are much diminished in
countries where public betting agencies
are tolerated should rend a report on
the totalisateuts which the Hungarian
government is going to lay before parliament -
liamont says the London Globe. Advo
cates of the totalUatours or pans mutu-
els are apt to say that these institutions
are ns well managed ns banks. Tliey
are indeed so well managed , remarks
the Vienna correspondent of the Times ,
that , as it seems , all tlio youth of Hun
gary , including school boys , invest mon
ey In them recklessly during the racing
season. The tickets by purchase of
which the buyer backs a certain horhoat
the current odds are not only sold on
the racecourses , hut In any lottery ollico
or tobacco shop. The report speaks so
indignantly of all this that ono is qnito
prepared for the announcement that the
government intends to aslc parliament
for powers to abolish the bolting
ntjonclos altogether. But it is simply
proposed to restrict the sale of tickets to
racecourses and to tax tlio winnings of
the gamblers. This moans that the
government proposes to abate u great
social nuisance by acquiring a vested
interest in its maintenance ,
