The concert last evening was fully attended.
While the old favorites in the Mendessohn
Club were warmly welcomed and their ex-
quiste music never more keenly appreciated,
the principal need of praise was awarded to
Miss Staples singing. The sweetness,
power and elasticity of her voice has not
changed under the instruction of her Eu-
ropean masters, but it has been trained and
modulated, putting its possessor well on the
highway to musical distinction.
The Superintendent of Schools will address
circular to Experimenting School commit
tees and town Supervisors, advising them to
call the attention of their fellow townsmen to
the cause of education by introducing the fol-
lowing article into the warrant for the next
annual town meeting; ITO see what action
the town will take in relation to the aboli-
of the school districts in town" 1t isthought
that this will lead to fair discussion of the
subject and finally to such conclusive action
in the individual towns as shall secure the
highest educational advantages for evcrY-por-
ton of the community.

GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON.

Weshave piece of gossip from
Washington which, tue or false, is
interesting enough. Among the
Comanches visiting the capital is
young fellow who fell in love at
sight with the young daughter of a
resident millionaire; and, strange to
say, his passion was reciprocated.,
They even rode out together in the
family carriage and when those hav-
ing charge OF her strictly prohibi-
ted any further exhibition Of such
bad taste on her part, she frankly
declared her intention of wedding
the Comanche. OF course the mat
ter was too serious not to receive at
tention. On the one side the young
Comanche, with plenty Of money,
declared that he would not leave
without the girl of his love; on the
other, the girl was as equally head
strong. The Indian Commissioner
could not mend matters, though ap-
pealed to. In this dilemma trip
to Europe, for the girl was decided
on. What the Indian will do about
it will be found in the next chapter,
when il comes It=.i-l .H'j -,

GOOD.

We find it quite impossible to out
grow feeling of calm delight when
ever anything brings to mind the
results of the late election in New
York. Think of it:
Instead of Tammany Hoffman,
the Empire State will now have for
Governor General John A. Dix, q
staunch Republican and a spotless
man.
Instead of Oakley Hall, an indict-
ed thief, the great city of New York
will have an honest, capable and in
fluential Republican Mayor. "
Out OF thirty-two members OF
Congress New York sends twenty-
four Republicans, six of these be-
ing from districts now represented
by Democrats. Sammy Cox, the in
finitesimal "shoo fly" of the House,
Is beaten as Congressman at Large
by Lyman Tremain, staunch Re.
publican. Sammy can now retire to
ward politics. The New York Leg
islature is strongly Republican, Sc
curing the election of a Republican
United States Senator and giving
Governor Dix and Mayor Havemyer
a strong substantial support, which
will enable them to enforce all re-
forms and cleanse thoroughly the
augean stables of Tammany. New
York State should hold a day of
special thanksgiving for her deliv-
erance from Satan.

CONFIDENCE IN GRANT.

The immense gains in Maryland
Delaware, Virginia, Kentucky, Tenn
essee, and other Southern States
show what confidence the intelligent
and law abiding South had in Gree
ley Democracy as "the party of
peace and reconciliation" Georgia,
repressing white and black Repub
lican voters by Ku-Klux terrorism,
has been carried for Greeley, and
his vote is that of the lawless irrec-
oncilables, not of the Union loving
and true men who accept the situa-
ton. The large Southern vote for
Grant gives the first sure promise
of a complete restoration of harmo-
ny and good will. The era of
peace and good feeling is at hand.
Let US cordially join hands over a
restored Union and the guarantee of
equal rights to all.

STATES FOR GREELEY.

The promise of the Republican
successes in September and Oc
tober has been grandly fulfilled
by the magnificent majorities
rolled up in all parts of the coun.
try for Grant and Wilson. The
peoples verdict is the Republi
can victory, which we celebrate
without a single drawback to de,
tract from its completeness and
our satisfaction over the discom-
flied opposition, or to elaborate
the lessons of the canvass, or to
point out the new responsible
ties which come upon the Repub-
lican party by reason of its new
lease ofpower. We can now on
express the qualification which all
Republicans must feel at the
vindication of President Grant
and his administration, and of the
principles and policy of the Re-
publican party before the Amer
lean people.

THE GRAND RESULT.

Every NorthernState recorded its
vote on the 9th inst. for Gen. Grant
by majorities far beyond the most
sanguine expectations of his friends.
The victory is most decisive, mag
nifcent and overwhelming. All the
Southern States except five or SIX
have proved their fidelity to Grant
by casting their votes for him. The
sound policy which has been adopt
ed by the Administration during
the past four years, have given con
fdence to our people, credit to our
country, and feeling of security
both at home and abroad. The VIC
tory has been most complete. The
great principles of the Republican
party have triumphed gloriously.
New York State, the great strong
hold, in the North, of Democracy,
has spoken most emphatically in ia
vor of the present administration.
This is most magnificent, taking In
to consideration the fact that it was
the home of Mr.. Greeley. Pennsyl-
vania fires off her one hundred and
forty FOUNDER and startled the
whole nation. 1t was the voice OF
her sons speaking for rights. Vir-
ginia, the old Domain, in whose bo-
som was the seat of the late Confed-
crate government, and whose soil
drank up the blood of tens of thou
sands of brave soldiers, cast her
vote for Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, the
man who crushed out the great re
bellion, by his indomitable will and
steady purpose. r

GENERAL BANKS.

Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks was
one Of those who thought that his
name and influence would be of
huge benefit to the Liberal-Demo-
cratic movement. He went over
with great blare of trumpets, and
the Tribune said that he would help
to carry Massachusetts for Greeley.
Trumbull and Schurz. he is found to
have had no positive influence, and
his own Congressional District has
refused to have anything to do with
him, and he is as badly beaten at
home as he was by Dick Taylor on
the Red River. 1t Is quite certain
that he will never turn up in poll
tics again, and that with other de-
serters, he will sink into merited OBJ
livion. ..-.....

at 81 ,255, 1897, and the total cost of

announced also that the Chicago

authorized $10,OOO,OOO additional

the laborers have turned out in con-
sequence of the failure to pay them.
The merits of the matter appear to
be little known, but it is said that
they involve nothing to the disad
vantage of the North Pacific.

A Terrible Earthquake.

Dispatches received contain information
of terrible earthquake in Syria, by which
the ancient City Of Antioch has been almost
entirely destroyed, Upward of fifteen hun
bred Of the unfortunate inhabitants per-
ished, reing instantly killed by the falling
buildings, Thousands were injured and
rendered homeless. The whole city is in
ruins, scarcely a building being left stand
ing.
The internal commissions which contin-
ucd at intervals during the day warned the
people Of the approaching danger, and
many had time to flee before the climax
arrived.
The earthquake also extended over a
large tract Of the surrounding country.
The city Of Antioch, the ancient capital
OF Syria, is situated tifty-sevcn miles West
Of Aleppo, on the left bank Of the Onontes.
Its walls, varying from twenty to seventy
feet in height, inclose all area of uneven
ground several miles in circumference.
These, with ruined aqueduct, two bridges
and a portion Of pavement, are almost all
that remain Of the city's ancient magnili-
cence the successive earthquakes by which
it has been visited rendering the city almost
ruin.
