1t seems that Mr.. Waterbury, of
Jefferson, is not taking his defeat as
Democratic candidate, for the Assem-
ply with that GOODNESS and good nature
that should characterize all we'll trained
politicians. Thinking to aid his cause
before the election lie left $500 with
August Longhalf, of Hebron, stipula-
ting that Mr.. Longhalf should do
what he could to get out the voters in
his town. Now that he is defeated he
sues Longhalf for The money on the
ground that there were not voters
enough got out for the amount paid.
La fact We think that is about so. at
least it looks SO, judging from the out
come. This is however only the nat
ural result of that ardent desire for re-
form which Mr.. Waterbury so fire.
quently expressed before election.
He gave the money to promote the
high and holy crusade of reform.
And now that poor reform is a dead
cock in the pit he makes haste to get
the money back lest it he improperly
used. Several other reformers who
virtuous'y used Mr.. Waterbury's
money, had better be making tracks for

THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.

A dispatch to the Euening Wiscom
san, dated Nov 18th, says:
Complications in the vote of the
Eighth Congressional district continue
to increase. 1t was supposed on Sat
urday that all of the vote was in, and
that McDill was elected by 48 MAORI
ty, which included the vote of the
county of Lincoln, which gave McDi]l
As majority, the vote of which was in
formal on account OF the Secretary of
State not being officially notified of the
organization of said county. This NOR
ming the vote OF Wood county came in,
giving Cate 1913 majority, instead of
16C as reported, the canvassers having
thrown out the town of Lincoln, in
Wood county on pretext of illegality,
In order to retain In Office the friends
OF the present county commissioners,
which leaves McDill, Republican, only
three majority on the present vote.
Should the state canvassers throw out
the new county Of Lincoln, it will elect

ANOTHER ARKANSAS MIDDLE.

The people Of Araknsas have no
sooner got cut of the Baxter and
Brooks Gubernatorial scrape, than they
have got into another muddie on Gov.
ernor. At the recent election the peo-
pie of Arkansas voted for new con.
stitutlon, and elected new set of State
officers, notwithstanding the present
State officers had been elected for four
years, and had served only two years
when the people voted their successors
IN. Baxter gave way to the will of the
people, as expressed by the recent cleo
ton, but Lieut.. Governor Smith, Bax-
ter's associate, issues proclamation
declaring himself the legal Governor
of the State, through the resignation
of Baxter. Smith and his followers
declare by their course that the recent
election was unconstitutional and void
and that Governor Baxter and the 9TH
er State officers could not be superseded
until the term for which they were
elected had expired. Garland, the
newly elected governor, and Smith
have both appealed to Washington fol
a decision.

The PLOT AGAINST THE CARS
LIFE-The London Daily Telegraph
repeats the report OF social conspiracy
In Russia, and adds that 5000 persons,
including many ladies', have been ar
rested. A commission has been ap-
pointed to investigate the conspiracy,
the exact object of which is still I'M
known. Several persons of exalted
rank are said to be implicated. A Vast
amount OF money seems to have been
at the disposal ofthe conspirators. The
arrests since the discovery of the plot
have been SO numerous that a perfect
reign OF terror exists in St. Petersburg
1t was proposed that the police should
search every house in the city in sim
gle night.

The RUSSIAN SERFs.-A cores.
pendent of the Boston Transcript
writes from St. Petersburg 81 have
been greatly interested by the serfs,
who seem to me hopelessly ignorant.
In St. Petersburg | found the drivers
often did not know the names of the
nearest streets. | never saw the faces
of animals even SO expressionless. 1t
makes my heart ache to look at them.
Their habits are like those of beasts.
[ have often seen them in tie middle
of the day sleep Oh a manure heap,
with the burning sun beating down
upon them.
Most Of those in the cities have no
homes. They habitually sleep where
they can find resting-place. They
are half clad, and often so ragged that
their garments are dropping from them.
l have not seen schoolhouse in the
whole OF Russia. [ am told there are
some charitable schools, but, as we un-
derstand the word, there are no means
of public education for the people.
The entire country seems imbued
with fanatical theology which exerts
It's influences throughout all the bran
ches of the Government. The relig-
ious tyranny is universal, and all class
es seem equally under subsection to
the one law of the church.

New YoRK.-The majority in New
York for Tilden, Democratic candidate
for Governor, over Dix, Republican, is
1887. Clark, Prohibition, received
over l0,O00 votes for Governor. 62,
693 less votes were east this year than
In 1872. 1t is calculated that fully
122, 900 votes did not cast ballot this
year. Considering that the much larg-
er proportion of the reserve is Repub-
hean, will help to explain somewhat
the Democratic victory in the State.

THE BEECHER-TILToN SUIT.-A
rumor comes from New York to the
effect that the lawyers in the Tilton-
Beecher case are thinking of withdraw
ing from the suits, and in a card to the
public give as their reason therefor
that it would involve disclosures unfit
to be made. Any such course would
be confession of guilt on both sides,

The world tolerates in the laity what it

was born at Brownsville, Penn. came
of an old Pennsylvania family, and was
consplcuously American in all his at
tachment, thoughts, habits, preferences,
aud characteristics. His whole life
has been one of study, and the best
part OF 1t was identified with the Uni
versity Of Notre Dame and the relig-
ious order which founded it, He
graduated in lS49, and soon af-
ter entered the Novitiate of the Con
gregation OF the Holy Cross, at the
same time taking the position of Pro-
lessor of Mathematics in the Univer-
slty, In 1854 he was sent to Rome to
complete his ecclesiastic studies, and
while there passed his time partly in
the American College. He was Or
dained priest in 1856, and returned to
Notre Dame to accept the responsible
position Of Vice President. He held
this position for three years, and du-
ring that time eEdeared himself to
many OF the students whose homes are
in the Northwest, and who will recall
him with the pleasantest recollections.
In 1899 he came to Chicago and was
made President of St. Mary's College
on the North Side. He again went
abroad in 1868 and lived in Paris a
year; afterwards he held an admins
tratlve position at Mans, France, where
the head house of his Order was loca-
ted. Returning to Notre Dame in
1866, he took the editorship Of the
ADe-M Maria, the religious weekly pub
llshed there, and was engaged in this
and other literary work up to the time
of his death. He was an exceedingly
graceful writer, possessed of fine hu,
NOR aud literary taste which had
been polished under the friction of ex
tensive and varied reading. His death
makes serious loss to the society of
which ne was so prominent member
and he will be regretted by a large
circle of friends and admirers both in
side and outside the Catholic Church.

jeff. Davis for President in 1875.

AS strangely as the above capitation
may strike the ears of loyal people, it
is by no means impossible of realization.
The Constitution provides that in case
no candidate shall receive majority of
all the electoral votes, the House of
Representatives shall proceed to elect
one from the three candidates having
received the largest number. In such
an election the members will vote by
States, each State being entitled to one
vote. Hence majority of the Repre-
sentatives from each State will be able
to cast its vote for President and Vice
President. OF the States which have
elected Representatives in the Forty
fourth Congress, it is claimed by our
opponent that nineteen are Democratic,
with a possibility Il securing still 9TH
ers. Nineteen, however, is a majority
of all the States in the Union. Being
sure of the House, the Democratic lead.
ers may deem it prudent to endeavor to
prevent an election by the people, and
run two Democratic candidates, one in
the South and one in the North. In
that contingency Jefferson Davis might
prove to be their most available candi-
date. In the absence Of the execution
OF the Enforcement law he could carry
every Southern State Of the Union.
| Should the electoral votes of few
States of the North and West be cast
for some other Democratic candidate,
and the residue, being less than halt of
all, be cast for Republican candidate,
the election woald go to the House,
where the vote, as we said, would be
cast by States, and, of course, for one
or the other of the Democratic candi-
dates, and by party courtesy, and in
fairness, should be given to the one
whom majority Of said Democratic
Congressional delegations might prefer,
and this would uuquestionably be Mr..
Davis in preference to any man that
could be named in the North, because
the controlling majority of said delega
tons would III the contingency we have
supposed, DE from the South.
Such proposition would not, as
some may suppose, shock the Northern
Democratic sense of propriety. 1t
would be difficult to assign any reason
for rejecting Mr.. Davis which would
not apply to any other Democrat of the
country, except that his political disa,
billties have not been removed, and
that he participated personally in the
War of the Rebellion; and even Re-
publicans could not. aud the Democrats
would not, insist upon the latter opjec-
ton as valid obstruction, because that
has been yielded in the Constitutional
Amendments, in the statutes, and by
the practice Of two Republican Admin
istrations; and Democrats could not be
expected to regard the former as insu-
| perable, for Mr. Davis did nothing in
the recent War which the great leaders
of the Democratic party of the North
have not insisted all along he and his
associates had the constitutional right
to do. We are, therefore, unable to
perceive any sufficient reason which a
Democrat could assign for refusing to
vote for Mr. Davis for the Chief Exec
uiive Office = Washington Chronicle.
