The RACING At LoNGcHAMps yesterday
drew together magnificent concourse of
French men and women and had the coun-
tenance and presence Of the Chief Of State.
The French do not think it any harm to 60
to horse race on Sunday, but
for all that there is no Excise
law to confine the thirsty to cold
water and the settler varieties. They can en-
Joy their opportunities without any objec-
tionable results. Our special despatch gives

the racing was very one-sided, Kisber, the

The BRAZILIAN EMPEROR certainly goes
about the business of inspecting the points
of interest on his remarkable tour of observa-
ton with a vim rarely observable in crowned
heads and, indeed, not often to be met with
in any walk of life. His Majesty, during
his S ort time among us, has seen more Of
America than most Americans, and from the
kecnness Of his mental vision he has doubt
less been enabled to lay by store of remin-
iscences that will we'll repay him for the
energy he has expended in gathering facts
and seeing things with his own eyes.

the Kerr scandal have agreed upon their re-
port generating the Speaker. and that it is
to be unanimous. But we are told also that
the examination has not been concluded.
We like this democratic devotion to men and
principles At the same time we do not
think the democrats treat Mr.. Pendleton OF
Mr. Schumacher fairly These gentlemen
are as much entitled to report upon their
cases as Mr.. Kerr.

A correspondent, who thinks that Hart
ranft for President and Taft for Vice Presi.
dent would carry Ohio and Pennsylvania,
.'besides rallying the German vote" should
remember that something is due to euphony
and our national love of harmony. What
orator could turn a period with Hartranft
and Taft? What poet could find a rhyme
for Taft and Hartranft?
There should be some law on our statute
books or some canon in our ecclesiastical
formulas on this subject Of names. When .
man child is born it should be seen that he
has a sweet, chivalric, rolling name, ono
that would sound well in conventions. Prov
idence it is true, has in many cases given
such names to men born to high deeds.
Names like Alexander, Hannibal, Charlie
magne, Napoleon, Marlborough, Plantagc-
net, Washington, were all in keeping. Some
times, as in the case of Caesar and Grant and
Lee, we see nature which rises above the
poverty of name. If Grant had only been
called Plantagenet he might have won his
third term in spite of Belknap.
We trust that our conventions will give US
a musical ticket while they are about it.
Conkling Morgan, Washburne, Sherman,
Frelinghuysen, Sharon, are good names for
prose or poetry. We do not like Blaine or
Hayes so well. A name like Frelinghuysen
would be as good as new coat of paint to
the White House It would inspire respect
and terror in the breasts of the aristocrats.
1t sounds like roar Of artillery But
name like Blaine or Fish or Jones or Wade
or Taft would be misunderstood. long
name with good many consonants is what
we want in canvass.
The democrats are more fortunate than
their opponents in this respect They have
the imperial name of Bayard to begin with
and Tilden to fall back upon; 10th good
names, although we wish the Governor had
some Christian name like Roger, or Roderick.
or Mortimer Samuel is one Of the worst
names that could be submitted. to q free
people. There is no name, unless it is
Peter, with which the common mind
is apt to take SO many liberties
as with Samuel. More than all, il
is an unlucky name, as will be seen
by careful study of the annals of our
glorious country. There has never been
Samuel in the White House. We have never
had Samuel in the Vice Presidency. The
only Samuel who ever sat in the chair of the
Senate as a presiding officer was called Smith,
and that was many, many years ago. There
has never been Samuel Speaker of the
House, and the nearest to it is Problem
Sam Cox, who changed his name to Sunset,
with much discernment, before he became
candidate for his Office. There has never
been Samuel in the State Department, and
SO we might continue showing the Importance
of this apparently trifing question in time
like this. 1t is most important that parents
who expect to have their sons in the White
House some day-and where is the proud
parent who does not have this dream ??
should see that they have noble, resonant
names, which may catch the imagination Of
the people.

Mr.. PETER COOPER evidently thinks that
he may be called upon by the House of
Representatives to take up the onerous
position of President of the United States
after the 4th Of March next. The interview
with Mr.. Cooper, in another column, lays his
political aspirations before the country. If
the Presidency comes to him he will resign
himself to his fate, but there is q touching
indication OF his large-hearted nature in the
hope he expresses that "Old Bill Allen" will
carry the rag-money banner through the
coming campaign. What the nominee of q
political convention for the Presidency has
to say upon the chances ofhis party is worth
hearing, and from philanthropist like Mr..
Cooper these views carry their title to
respect, even if they meet with no accept
ance.

this spirit and with this feeling that
we pencil this article. We could have
endured four more years of Republi-
can rule without a niurmur, and we
feel certain that our Republican friends
will accept the situation with equal
complacencv. Taking counsel from
our own sentiments, we feel assured
that no particular wrong will be done
hence we conclude that regrets over
the charge of administration will be
few and far between. If the Demo-
Gratis, as a party, do not behave them
selves during the next four years it
will be the easiest thing in the world
to hurl them from power, and this of
itself is sufficient to insure a wise and
| economical administration of the Gov
eminent. We know they will prove
true to every public trust, and for this
reason we say, in conclusion, all hail to
the noble States that have just pro
nounced so emphatically in favor of
transferring the management of affairs
to the grand old PARTY with which we
affiliate. We know that there will be
disappointments ard heartburnins in
the ranks of the opposition, but it
should be charitably borne in mind
that Democrats, for a great many
years, have been subjected to similar
visitations. Three times three for the
gallant Democracy of Hoosierdom and
the rest!

THINGS LOOK DEMOCRATIC.
CHICAGO, Oct. ll-Midnicht.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1l-Midnight.
The situation tonight is decidedly
more favorable to the Republicans
than last night. Ohio is conceded ON
all hands to have gone Republican by
an increased majority, and TO have
gained four or, perhaps, more Con-
%gressmen.
Indiana, though still in doubt, seems
to tie Democratic, and private as we'll
as public dispatches indicate that the
Republicans are losing faith IL Har-
ri,on's election, as several Democratic
>tr%onghOlds are not yet heard from,
and every county in the State shows a
decreased vote for the Republicans.
The most enthusia ,tic believers in the
Repub.icanism of that State do not
clsim any fixed majority, and by far
the greater part of the politicians here
have conceded the State, though by a
bare majority, to the Democrats. 1t
seems to he understood, however,
among the Republicans that a Demo
cratic victory III Indiana now. unless
overwhelming, means a victory for
Hayes IN November.
There is "A cheerful feeling at the Re
publican headquarters, and IL Is evil
dent that, even though Indiana
should give 1000 or 5000 Democratic
majority, this will be considered sub
stantially a Republican victory, es-
pecially as the Republicans gain sew
eral representatives.
The Democratic headquarters pre-
sent IA lively and excited appearance
10 night, and as favorable returns are
received from the neighboring State,
applause and other manifestations OF
delight are INDUCED in.
WHEELING. West Virginia, Oct. IL.
But very few returns are received
from the Stale IA vet. These received,
however, show in a few cases gains for
Gotf, Republican, hut are offset by
still heavier gains for Matthews, Dem
ocrat. Matthews majority will reach
0,000. Tie Legislature will be about
two-thirds Democratic, thus securing
two Democratic United States Senators.

ported. but is we'll enough known,

The Republicans, dissatisfied with
the candidate already nominated in the

nominated General stephen A. Hurl-
but for Congress.

g%re~sional District, West Side, to-day

Last evening the County Treasury
was entered by two masked men, who
overpowered the Treasurer, and with
drawn revolvers forced him to open

IA, 1000. No clue to the robbers has
been obtained. Mounted men are in

HOME FOR OLD ACToRs.-After years
of litigation and vexatious delay, the
edwin Forrest Home was opened
for its benevolent use ON Monday last.
According to the will Of the late TRACE
dian, the institution is designed for the
support and maintenance of actors and
actresses decayed by age or disabled
by infirmity. Ii native to the United
States, they must have served five
years in the profession; but if of for
eign birth, they must have served ten
years, whereof three years previous TO
the application must have been in this
country. 1t has been asserted hat so
many restrictions were placed around
the bequest as to render the Home al
most an lnpraciicable affair. The
committee, however, seem to have
mastered the difficulties, if any pre-
scented themselves, and the. "F"rrest

Is at last opened. Says an Eastern ex-

THE MEN IN THE MINES.

George Stokes, formerly connected
with the Denver Tribune, writes from
Deadwood of the men in the mines in
the following humorous, yet truthful,
style; "Tbe smartest Alecks OF all
subjects here are men from Montana.
The best miners in lean ground are
from California. The men who de
lmand the highest wages, and earn the
smallest, are from Utah. The men
who look you in the eye and ask the
most unlleard OF prices for their claims
hail from Nevada. The most persist

for wages since he came here | stood
appalled,. but after considering that he
received twenty-four dollars per week
for his services-more than he ever got
for a months elsewhere-I withdrew
my sympathy and went s~trai2htway
and hunted up a job myself. All the
n%erveless men, | grieve to say, are not

Thus We Glide and Here We Go!

Indiana has gone 10000 Democratic:

the verdict just rendered in Indiana
will be reversed in November. Had

Just as good as decided, and that too

edict that has gone forth in the stand

with becoming dignity. We can not
blame them if they jubllate a little. but
they should accept the sacred trust
conferred upon them by the popular
will with a full recognition OF the re

alton of minorities under a republican
form of government is, that no laws

do not operate on all with equal force.
