4 BASE TNSINUATION

The Democrat says the disaster to its
party here on election day was mainly
due to the use of money by the republi-
cans. This is serious charge, to make,
not only against republicans but demo-
Gratis also, whom, by implication it says are
purchasable. We have thought better
of the democratic party than that its
members can be induced to vote the re-
publican ticket for money consideration.
And yet The Democrat charges directly
that democrats were bought up. We do
not believe it. We have too much faith
in the integrity of democrats to believe
that they would be guilty of taking
money for their votes. The Democrat
should hesitate before making so serious
an allegation against the members of it's
own party.

ONE lesson in modern politics is to be
faand in the fate of renegade republicans
who, after enjoying great honors from
their party, desert it and go over to their
palitical opponents. There are DORIS

mers of Illinois, Doolittle, of Wisconsin,
and others who might be added to the

water for the democracy and earned
their contempt as the reward of their

and consistency of life, like honesty, is
Ghe best policy.

The MICHIGAN SENAToRsHIP. Cover
nor Crosswell has the authority, under
the constitution of the the United States,
to fill by appointment, the vacancy occa
stoned by the death of Senator Chandler,
till the Legislature shall meet There
does not appear to be any authority to
convene the Legislature in extra session
for that purpose alone. But it will de-
volve upon the Legislature when it does
meet on the second Tuesday of its session,
to elect United States Senator. The
next regular session will begin on the
first Wednesday in January, 1881, and
that Legislature will also elect Senator
for the full term beginning on the 18th of
March in that year.-Grand Rapids

GENERAL HOOKER.-NEW YORK.

GENERAL HooKER.-NEw YORK, No
vember 5.-Crowds of people looked upon
the face of General Hooker, whose re-
mains were lying in state in the City
Hall to-day, and soon after noon the cof-
fin was closed, enveloped in the Ameri-
can flag, and placed in the hearse The
procession was then formed, the following
gentlemen acting as pall-bearers: Major
General Hancock, Generals Newton,
Casey, Butterfeld, Doubleday, Mott, Ora
ham, Sharpe, Crawford and Kidder. Vice
Admiral Rowan, Rear Admiral Trench
ard, John Jacob Astor, DIR. 7. M. Marker,
Charles L. Tiffany and J. H. Gautier.
The column was formed desperate Troop
A, Third Regiment of Cavalry, Seventh
Regiment of Infantry, battery light artil-
lery, Major General Shalor and staff
mounted, many officers of the army and
navy, veteran of the Mexican war, and
several posts of the grand Army of the
Republic. The procession marched up
Broadway to Waverly place, through
Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street, to
Rev. Dr. Adams church, on Madison
avenue During the movement of the
procession minute guns were fired, and
flags on the public buildings and ship
ping were placed at halfstaff. The streets
through which the procession passed were
crowded with people.

THE legislative elections in the differ
eat states last week indicate that the re-
publicans will soon regain control of the
United States senate. There are now in
the senate forty-two democrats thirty
three republicans and one independent.
The October elections settled the point
Mr.. Humans successor is to be re
publican. The elections last week i'll
crease the republican majority in the
legislatures of Connecticut, New York,
New jersey and Pennsylvania and, as
the senators elected hold over for partici-
patton in the choice of United States
senator, and the assembly in each state
is likely to. be as strongly republican next
year as now, it is almost certain that sena-
tors Eaton, Herman, Randolph, and Wal
lace will be succeeded by republicans.
En- all the states having republican sena-
tors whose terms expire in 1881 the re-
publicans are almost certain to retain
control except in Mississippi, where
Bruce will be succeed by democrat
This will make the senate stand in 1881,
go republicans, 3S democrats, and one in
dependent. If Indiana should be carried
by the republicans next year, and the
republicans secure majority in the leg
stature, senator McDonald's successor
would be republican, and this would re-
verse the figures, giving the republicans
So and the democrats 81. In 1883 it is
probable that Davis, of Illinois; McPher-
soH, of New Jersey, and Grover, of Ore
son, will give place to republicans, while
Kellogg of Louisiana, may be retired in
Ezor of democrat. 1t will be seen
fem this showing that the probabilities
point to the control of the senate by the
republicans during at least part of the
eHm of the president elected next year.

Women in the Belgian COal.pits.

The Belgian authorities have not yet
recognized The advisabiIity Of prohibit
ing the employment OF women and girls
under ground, although public opinion
has done q good deal TO discourage this
degrading practice. In 1868 in the col
leries OF the province of Liege were en-
ployed GAO females quito a total number
OF Is, $50. In 1877 the numbers were,
above ground, 1,086 women above fifteen
years OF age, and 321 girls under fifteen;
under ground were 463 women above
fifteen, and sixty-seven girls under ff-
teen. According to the recent report Of
the chief mining engineer of this prov.
ince, these numbers have still further
decreased, the underground female
workers being only 453 altogether. 1t
is to be hoped that the Belgian colliery
owners will discourage the system until
Il dies a natural death. In Great Brit
ain the employment Of women under
ground was forbidden by the regulation
Of mines and oollieries act 1912, and al
though there is no law to forbid them
working above ground at the pit banks,
there Is in many coal districts q feeling

Pressure on the Brain.

An American medical man wUs called
one day to see a youth, aged eighteen,
who had been struck down insensible by
the kick Of a horse. There was a de-.
pressed fracture of the SIX II a little
above the left temple. The skull was
trephined, and the loose fragments Of
rome that pressed upon the brain we're
removed, whereupon the patient came to
his senses. The doctor thought it a good
opportunity to make an experiment, as
there was a hole in the skull through
which he could easily make pressure
upon the brain. He asked the boy q
question, and before there was time TO
answer it he pressed firmly with his fin
ger upon the exposed brain. AS long as
the pressure was kept up the boy was
mute, but the instant it was removed he
made a reply, never suspecting that he
had not answered at once. The expert
ment was repeated several times with
precisely the same result, the boys
thoughts being stopped and started
again on each occasion as easily and GER
tainly as the engineer stops and starts
his locomotive.
On another occasion the same doctor
was called TO soc o groom who had been
kicked on the head by q mare called
Dolly, and whom he found quite insen-
sible. There was q fracture Of the skull,
with depression of bone az the upper
part OF the forehead. AS soon as the
portion Of bone which was pressing upon
the brain was removed, the patient
called out with great energy, whoa,
Dollyl' and then stared about him in
blank "amazement, asking, Where is the
mare ? Where am IP Three hours had
passed since the accident, during which
the words he was just going to utter
when it happened had remained locked
up, as they might have been locked up
in the %phonograph, to be lot go the mo.
ment the obstructing pressure was re-
moved. The patient did not remember
when he came to himself that the mare
had kicked him; the last thing before he
was insensible which he did remember
was, that she wheeled her heels round
and laid back her cars viciously, --Popu.
