WhatThey Reioice over.

"I say" said business man To q re.

"Why, they elected eight Congressman

than that"
"Well, um, yes" said the reporter
1.-TWO years ago they had 1892 majority
aud now they have, perhaps, 1900 OF
5000 majority. suppose they rejoice
to think the Republicans did not gain

"Nonsense," said the busincsS man

What the Herald Thinks About
New York,

The New York Herald can't agree with
Mr.. Tilden about his prospects in New
York. It doesn't sec where he is to get
that $4,000 majority, its reasoning being
as follows:
Il would be over sanguine and absurd
for Democrats to reason from 1874 to
1876. Since 1874 they have met with
almost uniform losses In the Northern
States, losses so great and general as TO
make the year OF the "tidal wave" an in
admissible standard OF comparison. In
the Southern States the Democrats have
kept all they gained in 1874, and made
new additions to their strength, but in
the North there has been general decline
the Democratic majorities ofthe tidal year
having been in some cases reversed and
in most other cases diminished. We will
begin with the Northern States that have
Just held elections. In Ohio the Demo.
Gratis had majority Of 1902 in 1874,
and this year the Republicans have n
majority about two.thirds as large. In
Indiana the Democratic majority in 1874
was l7,252; this year it is reduced 10
about 500. Pennsylvania had Demo
cratic majority Of 4,697 in 1874, but in
1875 it was reversed, and the Republicans
had a majority Of l2,0S0. In illinois
the combined opposition to the Repub.
lican party carried the State in 1874 by
S0,500, but itwould be ridiculous to sup
pose that the electoral votes OF Illinois
will not be given for Hayes. Even Mas.
sachusetts gave a Democratic majority OF
1882 in "a, but it was reversed last year
and no State is more secure for Hayes in
the coming election. In Wisconsin the
opposition ticket won in 1874 by $3.50
majority, but Mr.. Hayes's friends have
satisfactory reasons for expecting to car
ry the State. In Michigan the Republi-
can majority sunk In 1874 to 2032, but
it rose In 1876 to 26,075. The combined
effect Of all these figures l.. to show that
the Democratic party 10 not nearly
as strong in the Northern States
as It was in the year Of the great
tidal wave. That New York Is no
exception 10 the rule is abundantly
proved by the smallness Of the Demo.
cratic majority on State officers last year
and the success Of the Republicans in
electing both branches Of the Legislature.
According to all reasonable probabilities
New York will be this year q very close
State. Itmay make strange aAop," as
II has so often done in recent years; but
this kind OF caprice is beyond the limits
Of calculation, and, like chances in a lot
terry, Is about as likely 10 be in favor Of
one side as the other. u.

Plenty Of AppIes-A Good Year
inn Manllh

There Is no fruit more serviceable to
people than the apple, not only as lux
ury, but as a wholesome, nutritious food.
Apples contsin sugar, gum, much malic
acid, and some valuable mineral matter.
It is true that apples often produce indi.
gestion and fatulence, but generally the
cause Is TO be found in the manner in
which they are eaten. II may not be
known, but il is true, than an apple con.
tains o greatquantity Of fixed air, and If
eaten hastily this air passes into the
stomach with the pulp before II is liber-
ated. In the stomach II becomes heated,
expands, and causes aatulence in persons
with weak digestion. Such persons should
choose fresh, mild, tart apple; with a
silver bladed knife peel of the skin, and
then scrape the apple to q fine pulp; now
place It in the mouth and thoroughly mix
il with saliva before swallowingit. This
Is very important. II may be placed on
thin slice Of bread and eaten with it.
II 1t Is too troublesome to scrape the ap-
pie, then 1t should be chewed till ever
cell ia broken down and the air liberated.
Many believe apples are more whole
some il taken in the morning. II this be
true, it is only because then the stomach
It more vigorous. Thousands Of the
Swiss peasants make their entire supper
on apples and bread, and thus preserve
good health and nourish their bodies well.
Physiologlcally, the apple acts as a
stomachic by promoting digestion, and
when taken in the morning 1t becomes
laxative. Its action on the liver is IA.
vo:able to the health Of that organ. 1t
also corrects tho evils Of too much and
too highly concentrated food.

Captain Lloyd's Report TO Army
Headquarters.

WASHINGTON, October 23.-Captain
Lloyd, OF the 18th Infantry U. s. A., who
was ordered 10 the scene Of the disturb
ance near Aiken, South Carolina, makes
report 10 army headquarters regarding
his investigations. On his arrival at
Rouses bridge, Captain Lloyd states, he
found body Of 800 mounted men, under
command OF A. P. Butler, who had thrown
out skirmish lines surrounding the nc.
groes and adds: "There was undoubted
evidence Of q well digested plan, which,
il carried out, would have resulted in the
slaughter OF nearly all the negroes in the
place. The presence OF troops brought
about an agreement by which both the
armed whites and blacks disbanded. On
the march from Rouse's bridge to Ellen
town tho bodies Of three negroes who
had been killed were found, and
information has been received that
FIVE others have been murdered. One
white man was killed. The negroes
were completely cowed and afraid to leave
their places in the woods and return to
work, from fear Of being shot in the cot.

hero that war Is not imminent, and that

u. y. supcryisors of Election.

Sr. LOUIS, October 23.-A few days
since petition, signed by Hon. John b
Henderson, ex.Gov. Thomas G. Fletcher
Emil Pretorius, editor Of the IVestliche
Ro2, James Withrow, Chairman Of the
Republican County Committe, ex.District
Attorney Dyer, and several other promi-
nent citizens, was sent to Judge Dillon,
u. S. Judge for this Circuit, asking that
Supervisors be appointed under the us.
Statutes for the Eastern District OF Mis-
souri,. To-day the petition was received
by Judge Treat, with instructions from
Judge Dillon 10 make the appointments
asked by the petitioners.
Judge Treat called into court num-
ber OF members OF the bar, among them
several siguers Of the petition, with a
view to hear suggestions from them.
Gen. Henderson said he was convinced
the elective franchise here was at the
mercy Of ballot box suffers, and as the
law provided for a supervision from each
party, he favored it as means Of pro-
tecting the will OF the people against
lawlessness. He was satisfied, however,
mat tne lEauus were couliueu 10 heItneF
party.
Col. Broadhead opposed the petition
on the ground that there was no law per-
mitting the course proposed. The law
was certainly an invasion Of the rights
guaranteed to every State by the Consti-
tuition, and he would like to see them
dare TO enforce it in Boston.
After considerable discussion and va
rious suggestions from different persons
present, Judge Treat appointed Edmund
T. Allen, OF Commissioners Of the Court,
us Chief Supervisor for this District, who
will report to the court the names Of the
supervisors for the respective districts.
The matter has been the cause OF good
deal OF comment here and will probably
continue to be SO till the close Of election
dav.

Tho Case Of Amos Barlow.

The only ysort Of Democracy nowadays
that is genuine in West virginia-the
only kind that qualities man for a State
nomination Of any kind-the only kind,
if Tilden Is elected, that will be recog-
nized even in Court House meetings any
where throughout the State, from the
Hancock county line to the Big Sandy
divide, is the sort stamped c. s.A. The
Confederate element Is at this moment
thoroughly cnthused all over the State,
and simply deferriug its exultation until
the verdict Of November is rendered. II
that verdict shall be for Tilden we shall
see such a rcawakening Of the old secesh
element as We have not seen since
the day that the news came from Rich
mond that Virginia had seeded. The
same old shout Of triumph will go up
again.
We are led TO these remarks by seeing
in the last issue OF the Greenbrier Iads-
pendent-published at the home Of Math-
ews--a letter signed Confederate Sold.
ier," written from POoahontas county, in
which the writer comes to the defense Of
Mr.. Amos Barlow, who it seems was a
candidate for an Office in Pocahontas in
the late election--the House OF Delegates,
probably,-and who was suspected Of
being Radical and was therefore defeat
ed. Confederate Soldier" writes to say
that Mr.. Barlow Is "as sound as any man
in the county" He knows this to be q
fact. How? "Tas Confederate soldier
fought the war through, and had occasion
at different times to be in Huntersville
where Mr.. Barlow was residing, and 1
never found him anything but friend to
the Confederates!"
The trouble with poor Barlow was
that his antecedents were not understood
soon enough. He fell victim TO sus.
picion that he was not genuine G. S. A.
II 1t had only been made known that he
had beiriended the Coniederacy during
the war then no suspicion would have
rested upon his Democracy.
Thus we see how soon Union antece'
dents have become badge Of disqualiG.
cation for office in West Virginia. Iii
is so in the green tree what will it be in
the dry? A Union democrat in West
Virginia will after Tildeh's election
be at a heavy discount In the Confederate
ranks Nothing short oil u discharge
from lmboden, or from stonewali or
Mudwall jackson, will be accepted as a
good voucher oil Democracy. This Is
