1t was not much OF tidal wave in
Massachusetts. 1t was rather in the
nature of dead calm. A year ago,
when the Republican candidates for
the subordinate State officers received
an average Of $4,000 votes and were
elected by q majority of 1900, enough
Republican votes were cast for CASTOR
the Democratic candidate for Govern-
or, to elect him by plurality of 7,032,
Talbot, the defeated candidate, recelv-
ing &c. i4 votes. This year the Re
publican candidate Is elected, but he
actually receives nearly six thousand
votes less than Talbot Ind. His plural
ity over CASTOR Is only 5000, and II a
majority over all others were required
to elect, he would fall about seven
thousand short of it. We shouldn't
advise much hurrahing over that

A correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post relates all anecdote told
by Gen. Houston, of Texas, some
twenty-five years ago, In lecture de.
livered In Providence, X. /. He had
been an Indian agent, and was widely
known among the aborlgines. One
day and Indian strolled into the vii.
lage where he was staying, and inquir-
ed for the White Chief. His business
was, of course, 10 beg. The Governor
told him how much better it would be
for him TO plant corn aud do various
other things pertaining to civilized
life, than to follow the lazy life he did.
"Oh," said he, tit IL all very well for
you white people to talk that way.
You can do what you choose, but we
poor Indians can't. Your God Is a
rich God. He gives you corn he
gives you rum he gives anything you
want. But our God Is q poor God--he
cannot do so 10y us. He does the best
he can, but he can't do likeyou God"
