TIE elections held on Tuesday Oh
last week in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa,
Nebraska, Dakota, West Virginia and
Arkansas resulted the same as last
wear. save that the Democrats have
gained half a score Of members Of
Congress, which in no event can
change TIE complexion Of the next
House Of Representatives at Wash
lington. In Ohio and Indiana the
temperance question entered largely
into the canvass, and undoubtedly
caused the losses sustained by the
Republicans, particularly in the
former State, where Z Prohibition
plank was adopted IN the platform
The lesson Of these elections is,
that Ohio, Indiana, Arkansas and
West Virginia, Democratic last year,
have elected the Democratic ticket
this year aud have gained a dozen
members Of Congress. Not on ques-
lions Of National Importance, or az
fecting party issues. but solely on
minor and local measures, while in
Iowa, Nebaska and Dakota where
these minor issues were kept out Of
the canvass the Republican MAORI
ties have been largely increased.
OF course there wiz be the usual
amount Of exultatioR over these Dem
ocratic victories, and it win be claim
ed that a great resolution has taken
place il public sentiment, but nothing
is further from the truth. The Re
publicaBs Of Ohi6 and Indiana on all
national issues, stand Just where they
have done for the last ten years.
The moralt 10 be adduced from these
elections is, that the Republican party
assured by long continued victories.
has grown careless, has permitted
minor issues to creep into it's camp
and has trusted more to prestige than
10 organization. Let US therefore see
to it, that we in Pennsylvania suffer
not from the same causes. It is not
wise to disguise the fact that the re-
suit Of these elections viii greatly
elate the Democrats, and that there.
fore they win work with frantic ener-
gy. This must be met with vigor
by the Republicans. There is no
tendency to leave the party, there is
no disaffection with its principles,
and all We require is an active can
rass and a full vote, to secure US an
Overwhelming victory.

BEEcHBR-TILToN

At last this matter has come to a
head. Beecher has commenced suit
against Tilron aud Moulton for libel
and the nastiness will go to the court,
for final adjudication. This is where
it should have gone. at the beginning
10 the courts the facts insthe case
viii be brought out, for there can be
no suppression of evidence and nc
lodging. If Tilton and MouIto1
have ~consyired to ruin an innocent
man, that fact viii be made apparent,
and if on the other hand the mar is
not innoeept, iG viii be so shown.
But right in the midst Of she satisfac-
ton that this terrible trouble viii be
settled by the courts comes one terri
bic drawback, which goes to show
that human felicity cannot be perfect.
The bitter drop in my cup is Mrs.
Tilton is going to make a statement .
She has got to have her innings.
Tilton has made two, Beecber one,
Moulton one, Miss Catharine Beecher
one, almost everybody else one or
tive, and now Elizabeth is going to
rush into priut to tell what she knows
about it. VIII she tell it all? All,
that's the rub. She knows as much
about the matter as any one, bat will
she tell all she kGowsy And if she
does win it be believed Like all the
rest Of them it is 10 her a painful
duty" but she feels it a duty, and
she is. going TO do it For your
sakes, Messrs Editors, | prsy she
may be more economical of words
than the rest Of them have been.
May she keep within thirty ordinary
newspaper columns. But there is no
telling. The people concerned in this
quarrel have a passion for six sylla-
bled words, and a most exasperating
number Of them they have heayed
upon the world. 1 fear me the gen.
tie Elizabeth win not prove an ex-
.ception 70 The rule.

THE political issue before the peo-

and nothing more: Shall thecontrol
Of the House Of Representatives pass

Any side issue, any division Of Re-
publican strength oulocal questions.
any votes from the regular ticket,
serve to weaken our party, and ia
proportion to their strength tend to
increase the chances Of the Democra-
.ey. Let nothing stand in the way Of
a complete Republican success. 1t is
vital to the peace and welfare Of the

II is announced by the State Treas
urer that since ths FIRST day Of De
cember last. be has purchased and
redeemed over one million dollars
Of the bonds Of the State. and the
Commissioners of the Sinking fund
have given notice Of their readiness
to redeem bonds TO the 0 Of
three hundred thousand dollars more,
on which interest viii cease on the
Ist day Of November. Therefore the
total reduction Of our State debt for
this year may be safely set down at
81, 300, 600.
Durag the period from 1880 to
1861 when the Democrats had al
most u~ndisputed control Of the State,
the State debt ran up from nothing,
to over so, OOO, GOO. They were
thea turned out Of power, and from
that date 1861, to 1874, the Republi-
can officials Of the State have paid
OF about nineteen millions of that
debt, being an average Of over a
million ana a half a year.
This is the contrast that IS present
ed to the people, between the fnan-
cial policy Of the two parties. In
thirty years the Democrats ran the
State 10 debt at the rate Of more than
one and a quarter millions a year,
while tie Republicans since they
have controlled II, have yearly paid
of a million and a half Of the debt
created by the Democracy. And let
it be remembered also, that this inn
mense reduction has been made not
by increased taxation, but under a
policy that has abolished all taxation
Of personal and real estate for State
purposes. Let the farmers Of the
county consider well these momen-
tous facts. and cast their votes for
that party whose rule has proved the
most beneficial for their personal
interests.

SOME CRIMINAL STATISTICS

The annual inventory of the crimi
nal situation has been taken, and the
figures given are startling. For in.
stance, the cost Of caring for the dan.
gerous classes, courts, police and
prisoners, foots up s., 600, 600 annual
y. The arrests per year amount tc
10000. and the criminals, that is to
say the peopie who live by violating
laws, number $4,000. There are in
the city 10000 actual prostitutes
known a7d open in their pursuits,
and probably as many more who
live by prostitution but who carry on
their nefarious business quietly and
not in q public way. There are g..
600 known pick-poekets playing their
trade all the time, then there are g.
000 thieves who have no specially,
but who steal anything that comes
ia their way. There are 1000 fe.
male shcp-lifters who make thei;
living by plunderiDg stores, and
there are GOO fences, or to use Eng.
lisb, receivers OF STOLEN goods When
| put the number OF criminals at so,
600, | do not, of course, include the
Democratic politicians. Add thai
class to the estimate and the number
would be swelled at once to $4,000.
But the show is sufficient frightful
without adding this most dangerous
or all the classes.

AN EXCITING :

Last Sunday 9TH one Of the NEST
exciting scares that New York has
been treated to took place. Sixty
wild Texas steers we're being driven
through the crowded streets to their
final goal. the slaughter-house. when,
as might have been expected. they
took fright. A genuine stampede
easued. BewiIdered and frighten-
ed, the long-horned beasts becane
transformed Into so many demons
They charged in a wild, furious fight
up the densely crowded street, at
tacking whatever came in their way.
Now a man would be tossed from
tLeir fearful horns-now Q cart
would be overturned. Men and wo-
men clir ed awning posts, and crow
ded into d~oorways for safety. Final
ly The herd became separated, and
one BY one, the furious beasts were
captured. But they made it lively
while they were about it. To have
sixty wild steers mad and blind with
rage, charge through a street crow
ded with vehicles and men, women,
and children. is anything bnt a joke.
Ii is a wonder that 40 lives were lost
and that so few were Injured.
