The State Elections.

When we went to press last week the
indications were that New York had
elected Republican governor, but that
the rest of the state ticket was Demo-
cratic. Fuller returns make it still bet
ter, although the exact result cannot he
known until the official canvass is COM
pleted, which is now going on. The
table of the Times, Tuesday, made out
an apparent majority of 622 for HOskins
for Lieutenant-G Governor, 2068 fol Carr
for Secretary of State, 6053 for Wads-
worth for Controller, 1920 for Ward fol-
Attorney General, 3O4 for Wendell for
Treasurer and 6185 for Seymour for
State Engineer-all Republican except
SeymOur.-The San says the official re-
turns from about half of the counties
show slight Republican gains over the
previous estimates, enough to Indicate
that the vote for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
will be very close, and that the Repub-
licans may have carried the remainder
of the state ticket, except engineer and
surveyor.

A report was sent the city press Mon
day that the remains of the little

excitement recently, had been found at
the foot of tree, covered with leaves.
On Tuesday this report was denied

know whether it is Charley Ross or

industrious reporters.

1t isn't flood it's Il deIuge.
The barrel is mighty, but it can't pre-
vail against the Republican party with
its dander up.
Butler is dead again, but don't bet
your money that he will stay so.
Mississippi is solid. Carry the news
to Tilden. 1t is the only consolation
he is likely to get to-day.
'Rah for the American people, Mr..
Tilden. They have again refused to
cOndone fraud.
New York and Ohio were the ''pivot-
al" States, and both are Republican.
The Democratic party seems to be short
on ''pivOts."
1t is pretty well settled that the
United States Treasury, is not to be
presented, as a token of esteem, to the
Solid South next year.

1t is victory throughout. Cornell is
GovernOr-elect of New York. The
doubtful states are made securely Re-
publican, Butler is routed, Pennsylva-
mia comes up like second Iowa. A
Solid North sends greeting to Il Solid
South. Yesterday answers the last ses-
sion of Congress, and all the insOlent
disloyalty which, after growing for
years, found expression there. The
grand and resistless uprising which fol-
lowed the shot in Charleston Harbor in
1861, finds an echo in the returns of to-
day. Once more the North is united.
The work which men did with their
bullets they have determined not to
spoil with their ballots.

The Way They Look at It.
From the Middlebury Register.[

The citizens of Brattleboro have al
most gone down upon their knees to
persuade the hotel keepers, who have
recently been made to feel that there is
a prohibitory law in this State, and who
had sulkily closed their houses because
they were not allowed to violate the
same, to open their doors again, and it
is pleasure to learn that the latter
have graciously and forgivingly assent
ed. The citizens of Brattleboro acted a
foolish part, us they ought to consider
that the hotel keepers could not afford
to let their property lie idle long. The
plea of the hotel keepers that they
could not make their business pay I'M
less, they sell liquor, is senseless one.
If the plea is true, then it proves that
there is no sufficient demand for hotels
in BrattlebOrO, or else there are too
many of them. The same plea, if al
lowed as valid, would give to man in
any business who was dissatisfied with
his profits, right to add bar to his
establishment, in order to bring his
gains up to his desires. The hotel
keeper has no more right to sell liquor
than the shoemaker, the barber, or the
meagre- salaried clergyman. He has
certainly no more right to violate the
law. This is the only sensible way to
look at it. And the hotel keeper, the
legitimate part of whose business does
not pay, and who, therefore, takes to
rum selling, is more contemplate than
the rumseller pure and simple, mas
much as his violation of the law is done
under the lying cover of an honest bust
ness. He is not a hotel keeper, and
ought not to be called so, but simply a
rumseller who adds hypocrisy to his
crime. A common assertion among
hotel keepers is that if they do not KEEP
a bar their patrons will desert them fol
some one that does. This is a coward
ly plea.

Mosr of the nations of Europe have
fine armies and take much pride In
getting them to the highest possible de-
gree of efficiency. But after all the
German army still remains superior to
all others in point OF organization and
discipline. In France, as in Austria,
soldiers do not all pass through the
same school. or the three categories
into which they are divided, the troops
of the line remain in service only three
years, and the regiments of the reserve
and the landwehr receive only a few
months instruction. In Germany, on
the contrary, all soldiers must serve in
the line; consequently the landwehr is
composed Of veteran soldiers thor
onghly drilled, and their thoroughness
was proved during the French campaign
by their fighting, which was rs good as
that Of the line.

proposes to be no longer harrassed by
these American Bedouins and a bill for
protection is now under consideration

rnn Anglican clergy o. ontal

THE Anglican clergy Of Ontario !,
Canada, are in a very bad way over the
scandal created by the death of Rev.
w. F. Checkley. 1t having been re-
peatedly asserted that the reverend
gentleman died of starvation, the cler-
gy Investigated the matter and report
that "a want of power to swallow
was what caused his death. They did
not state, however, what brought him
to that condition. We have seen men
die for ga want Of power to BREATHE -
but then a hempen rope was about
their necks. However, the aforesaid
clergy proceed to show how and why
the poor Mr.. Checkley died. He re-
ceived a salary of $500 per year-that
is, he was entitled to that much. He
had a family to support. He was bur-
dened by debt for even the necessaries
Of life, and his very dining table was
mortgaged. Anxiety brought on fever,
and being without the means requisite
to buy those luxuries which to the
weakened constitution of a fever-strick
en- man are Indispensable, he died. Mr..
Checkley's condition appear to have
been no worse than that Of other clergy
men in the diocese, and the Anglican
Bishop has called a meeting to consider

power of the united democracy of New
