THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

The elections of last week resulted
disastrously to the republicans general
ly. and were noted for the apathy mani
tested by the friends of the administra-
ton. and the activity of the enemies.
Many ascribe every misfortune that
transpires in state or the country, to
the faults of the powers that be. and
the panic and money stringency is sup
posed By some to be due to some fault or
mistake of the government. This is a
most absurd belief but it is a good thing
for the croakers to harp upon, and tends
to diminish the strength of the republi-
can vote In some states the oranges
have coalesced with all the enemies of
the administration, and succeeded in de.
feating the republicans. Massachusetts
elects Gov. Washburn for second term
by $4,000 majority /; New York ha;
gone democratic. The Rcforpers carry
Wisconsin. Maryland and Virginia are
strongly democratic; New Jersey. Min
nesota, Arkansas and Mississippi are
republican. Returns from all states
come in slowly and in many the resul
is now doubtful.

The cold winds and the freezing nights
admonish US that winter is close at hand,
and whatever is done to render our
houses warm and comfortable for the
four or five months of cold and dreary
weather to come, ought to be done soon.
A little extra care and labor will make
house comfortable, that. otherwise
would be cold and economy in fuel,
and economy in health would make the
expense of preparing well for winter of
no account While our houses are made
warm let US not forget the condition of
our barns for no fire or extra clothing
is to be had to protect the helpless ami
NAL from the severe and tedious days of
winter. He must endure whatever comes
with the one coat that nature furnishes
him, confined where he cannot exercise,
and helpless to render his condition more
comfortable. There is nc excuse for the
cruel treatment that the cattle and
horses of many farmers endure, from
barns that are colder than out of doors
while little labor, few battens, and
a banking of the stable, with the shut
ting up Of the animals in close stables
and stalls. would make them warm
enough. The cost of feeding stock that
is kept warm is much less than when il
is poorly sheltered 50 that not only hu
manity but profit ought to prompt US t.
treat our creatures well More than thi,
our cows and our horses, our pigs and
our hens. all show kindness for kind
treatment; and they have done every
thing for us that we have asked them t.
do and paid them for doing in the past
and let US take care of them during the
cold winter.

TIE Poor BUFFALo-The reckless
slaughter Of buffaloes on the plains con-
tinues, and the borders of Kansas and
Nebraska are dotted with carcasses from
which not pound of meat has been
taken. The SINNERS. as they are called
go in parties of from two to ten in number,
and destroy whole herds with their re-
peating rifles. Two men, who were met
recently on the line of the Kansas Pa
cifc, stated that they had killed and
skinned four hundred buffaloes on two
small creeks not twenty miles long. Ov-
er thousand pounds of meat is left to
rot on the prairies for every animal slain.
and the price for each raw hide is dol
lar and a quarter only. 1t is evident
that measures should be taken to stop this
wicked waste of valuable food. or the
buffalo will soop be exterminated.

A few of the students at the Union
Academy at Canaan. n. H.. made an un
successful hazing experiment the 9th
er night. Having no particular love for
one of the village boys, one Wednesday
evening they met him and commenced
reasoning with him by tying his hands
and feet and blindfolding him. They
led him into the woods, tied him to a
tree, and strengthened their argument
by the use of the soil of birch. After
they had had enough of the sport, they
released the victim. telling him to GO
about his business. This he was not
long in doing. making it his business
to complain at once of the young men,
whom he recognized. and the next even
ing the fun was the other way, and the
youths were busy raising $50 to pay the
mother of the injured boy for damage.

\ PROTEST against the present war upon
the railroads is entered by the New York
Express. To the indiscriminate abuse poured
out by the newspapers and dcmagogues dur
Ing the last couple Of years must, 1t believes,
be attributed the present panic which affects
not only the companies but the whole public:
Even the Northern Pacific" It says, (which
has called out twenty-five million Of sccuri-
ties, has opened new avenues Of trade, cheap
cned transportation and saved the people and
Government vast sums Of money" This Is
In certain sense correct, but 1t must be re-
mcmbcrcd that the railways have received
good deal from the people; that II the books
were made up there would be q heavy bal
ance against them. And, again, there
would have been no ''war" upon the railroads
II the railroads themselves, by their unblush-
Ing bribery and corruption, had not invited
aud invoked war. The terrible develop
mcnts of the last year or so In Congress and
In every State Legislature conclusively es-
tablishes this fact. Their aggrcsslons struck
ut the foundation Of popular liborty, and en-
dangcrcd the very existence of tho Govern
mcnt.

ish local inspections, and the general drift Of
legislation turned to the bcnolt Of the Balti-
more monopolists. Alexandria, Va, was
robbed Of much Of the trade OF tho lower
Potomac, and Washington suffered corrc-
spondlngly. In short, the monopollsts so
managed their affairs with cruel and selfish
adroitncss that they arc now able to control
almost the entire agricultural trade Of the
State, and have concentrated II within the
narrow and prescribed limits OF their own
city. No wonder, then, that they have
amassed princcly fortunes with the rapidity
of magic.
Now, lot the farmers Of Maryland look TO
these facts. Let them look further, and dis
cover the political character Of the men who
have accomplished these lamcntable results
Let them also look into the platform of the
dominant party In the State, 10 discover, II
they can any reasonable or feasible PROPOSE
tion TO relieve them. The Republican party
Is still so young within Ito limits that 1t can
hardly be said to have begun to declare the
details Of Its Intentions, except regarding
those broad principles Of progress on whicl
II rests Its claims for the support Of the pco
pie; but wherever II has flourished and main
tained supremacy for any length Of time. III
interests Of agriculture have been fondly nur
turcd as the material dependencies Of III
nation at large. Wool iu Iowa, sugar
Louisiana, tobacco, rice and cotton In III
South have been protected by Il from forcig
rivalry, so far as national cnactmcnts coul

!, aristocracy before the war, and that the r
'e publican party Is to-day, as 1t always hi

l. every pursuit and calling. We do not pre-
these views upon the farmers as pertinent
p the subject matter or intent Of their Ia
Ir meeting; but Insist that they are relcva
