TILDEN is left in his little game
with Hendricks. In '76 Sammy prom
ised the latter that II elected he would
not only stand aside himself but assist
Hendricks to obtain the democratic
nomination in 80. Tilden refuses to
recognize the compact, and here is
where the republican smile comes in:
By refusing to honor his agreement
Tilden admits that he wasn't elected in
'76. By admitting this much he de-
stroys the strongest point which the
democracy claim for their coming cam
paign. The affair is made positively
dishonorable to Tilden if he still claims
that he was elected in &c, and refuses
to honor his agreement. This is Hen
bricks view OF the case, and the view
Of Tammany. Tammany and Hen
bricks propose to pull together next
year in accordance with the agreement
made in rs. Tammany is consistent:
1t claims that Tilden was elected and
the agreement precedent valid and in
full force. An interesting struggle is
impending.

THE terrible railway accident in Scot
land reported yesterday in our tel
egraphic columns will serve to weaken
the universal faith held in triumphs of
engineering skill. True the accident
has had a precedent, SO far as the train
falling through the bridge is concerned,
but it is the first case in the history of
railroads where every living soul on
board the train was lost. The bridges
at A~shtabula, Ohio, near St. Joseph,
Mo. and Steubenville, Ohio, when they
fell, allowing trains to precipitate to the
depths below, were serious accidents
enough. But in all these cases the pro.
portion of the saved was vastly greater
than the number lost. The Ashtabula
accident vas the worst, perhaps, that
ever occurred in the United States, yet
half the passengers escaped. The
Scotch disaster stands alone as being
the only one where not a survivor was
left to tell the horrible tale of destruc-
tion.

GRApuALLY the Gas world is comi,

GRADUALLY the gas world is coming
down to the belief that Edison's cleo
trio lamp is a success beyond cavil,
hence the panic in gas stocks. But the
grand tumble in these securities will
come when the electric lighting system
shall have been adopted by city after
city. However, there is a probability
that the Edison company will exceed
itself by making inordinate charges, Ia
consequence of having a monopoly, and
that gas will be able to revel ina little
competition. AT any rate SPECTATORS
are preparing to purchase gas stocks
when they depreciate still more and pro
pose to hold them for the revival which
they predict as the result of a reaction
that is certain to come.

The trouble that vexes the Grant
movement now is the German vote.
The Germans seem to be against a
third term and they threaten the SAT ETY.

Grant shall be nominated. Judge Kelley

THE Black Hills people propose to
hasten the completion of the railroad
from this city to Deadwood by urging
the giving of bonds to Incorporation
the same as u county of Laramie.
The election to be held on the bond
question shortly, will decide the COM
pletion Of the Wyoming, Montana and
Pacific railway to Fort Laramie dur
ing the summer Of 80. If the Black
Hills people would hasten things as
proposed, they could have railroad COM
munication with the world direct by
the end Of the year. OF all the project
ed roads to the Black Hills the Wyo-
ming, Montana and Pacific has the best
standing and the best backing. Know
ing this our Dakota neighbors are anx-
ious to hasten the bonds Of steel that
shall bind them to the railway world.

THE new democratic principle, OBJ
serves the Chicago Journal, as now laid
down in the south and in Maine, is
that the majority shall not rule if the
returning board can, by hook or by
crook, count them out. There is moth
ing easier than for a dishonest return
ing board, representing the minority
party, to discover any number of
technical defects" in the returns; and
by means of that flimsy pretext the will
Of the majority could be defeated at
every election, and the rule of the
minority perpetuated indefinitely. This
is what the Garcelon outrage mean in
Maine, carried out to its ultimate pos
sibility.

We are now in the midst Of the season
of fires and fools. As the weather be-
comes colder both are less aggressive;
but in mild wintry days, when slush
flows in the streets and the SHOWS
clouds are pried apart by beams of sun
light, both the fire and the fool are
causes Of execration on the part of
h~ouseholders and of extreme discomfort
to the milder-tongued sex Frequent
ly the people who own the furnaces and
buy the coal and pay the servants know
nothing about the regulation of a fur
mace, and kitchenmaids are proverbial-
ly as ignorant Of the needs and capabil-
titles of a furnace as of the explosive
qualities Of lamp-oil. In fact, no one
seems to know enough concerning this
matter to use a large fire with any dis
cretion. A word to the wise, or to
those who ought to be wise, will not be
out of place. There is only one proper
thing to do, namely, put in a little coal
at a time, just enough to cover the sur
face Of the fire, and this should be done
every time that the coal which is burn
ing begins to show a white ash on the
top. In this way an adequate heat
will be kept up continuously. This, OF
course. requires frequent attention, and
indolent servants prefer to pile on an
immense quantity of coal at one time,
and thus smother the heat for a time
and make the house cold. When this
mass of coal becomes ignited the heat
is insufferable, doors and windows are
thrown open. and everybody catches
cold. These same extremes of temper
atuie result if a man is employed to
come in two or three times a day to at
tend to the furnace. Thus the furnaces
and the fools have it all their own way
and everyone suffers. A little atten-
ton would emove the discomfort to
which people subject themselves.-[N

DAKOTA is SO violently stirred on the

from con tagion, but has its origin and depends
for its dissemination on local causes. 1t may
be endemic or epiGemic, but filth and filthy
conditions are no doubt the chief arencies of
it's propagation. Great vigilance therefore
should be exercised by every family in the
country to prevent accommodations of dirt or

and outhouses. The neglect of this precaution
is frequently the cause of outbreaks of uiph-

The prospects of the Fair are more
than usually encouraging. The cores
pondence of this Office indicates it from
all directions. All the railroads leading
to the city will run cheap excursion
trains, which will greatly add to the
throng of visitors. I am this morning

Daily transcript, of the ed, which
state that excursions to the Fair have
been arranged by Maj. n. Fl. Hotch-
Kiss of the Ches. & Ohio, from both CT
these points.
The transcript says: 1.-THE unprece-
denied low rates for q ticket to Rich
mond and return will be but Sl2 so. A
great many will go to see the old Mother
State-the land of their ancestors soon
to be united to our State-her daughter
by the strong ties of commerce. A
catalogue of the Richmond Fair can be
seen at this office"
I have also notice from several Ken
lucky stock traders that they will have
their stock On exhibition at our Fair.
Our own people of every class and
occupation should be awakened to this
important event.
