been carried for the Republican.
by 10000 majority, as reports al
the present writing state, and
that the 35 electoral votes Of the
Empire State elects the Presi-
dent, as is sure to DE the case, LET
us examine the dangerous posi-
ton in which the nation yester.
day stood. Ten thousand OF
these twenty thousand votes
changed from Garfield to Han
cock would give the state to the
Democratic nominee, and 1873
votes from the South. 0 from New
Jersey, 8 from Neveda, and 30
from New York would count 185
a majority of the electoral college.
and that would be 1876o again
with the figures reversed-th is
time 1Si Republican to 1S5 Demo
cratic. opatriot would like to
see the nation again placed in such
dialemma. The position would be
to exciting and too ngelous,a land
yet 10000 votes changed in New
York out of 1, 100000 would have
placed us in that predicament!
This is less then one per cent.
Just think of it-less then one
vote in 100 changed in the state
Of New York from Garfield to
Hancock would have given the
latter 1856 votes to 1874 for the for
mer, and then what noice and
confusion, and perhsps falsehood
and treachery, would have been
poured out upon the land? The
reader will readily perceive the
danger, and the careful man as
well as the patriot will try toavoid
it in the future. California should
act in this matter, and promptly,
too. Her incoming Legislature
should memorialize Congress to
propose an amendment to the
Constitution, allowed the people
to vote directly for President and
Vice President, and thus do
away with the awkward, menac-
ing and useless machinery of an
ELECTORAL college. If the press OF
California will act in this matter
with earnestness, this state may
have the honorOfsetting IN motion
the ball that will correct this evil
and avoid this great danger.

One day, children. when the mem geris

desolate that the elephant said he TO.
minded him of "the howl of the wilder.

prove it," said the hyena. "You pel.i.
cam" said the elephant, which was
neither good English, good grammar,
nor good fun, and nobody laughed but
the elephant. ~ gnu you'd say that, :"
said the 'possum. Hello. old Tail

know it's of no consequence what you
think in this show?" The bison inter

might not be very harte-beast, but he

I reckon you're here as the bisonifica-
ton OF justice, are you, you old bison
OF gun. I'd like to see anybody pull
the wool over your eyes" The bay
mule down in the corner here remarked
that he'd like to see anybody pull the
wool on the end of his tail, but nobody
let on they heard him. Then when the
eagle tried to say something, tho Gle.
plant asked him il he hadn't got off the
Sixth Ward political transparency, and
then said he thought he remembered
seeing him on BARRIERS pole. Then
the bear spoke up and said they had en-.

told him he had better haul himself in
side the hat store before it rainsd, and
asked if soft felt would be much worn
this Winter. And then he finally got
the monkey to crying by calling him Mr..
Darwin and telling he looked enough
like man to run for Congress. And in

Even the passengers baggage is about all
 saved Captain Mott furnishes statement
 to the Star correspondent in which he says |:
 ''We passed Point Judith in eight fathoms
 of water and heard the fog horn all right
 We then ran our usual twenty-three minutes to Beaver Tail. We stopped until we heard
 the horn of our private signal man and caught the fash of his fire in the sky. The fog was too dense to see the red fire. We have man to burn red fire and blow horn for us here because the government signal is unreliable and rarely heard until fully abreast of it. The regular course to Bonnet Point is six minutes. We ran the six minutes listening all along for an echo from the bluffs at Bonnet Point. Sud- denly we heard it and saw the loom of the land. The same moment I gave an order to put the helm hard aport, but we struck be- fore we could swing of. Three rods further east would have carried us clear. We sup posed we were in our usual position when we took our departure from Beaver Tail. The result seems to show that we were deceived in sound and were really trihe further west than we supposed. We have run the same course under the same circumstances many times and always in the same way. can't explain why we struck this time"

RfotOus Meetings-In the Hands of a MOb-Collapse of a Platform-A Land Agent Fired At.
 DUBLIN, Nov. 7.-The Land League de- fense fund so far appears to be a failure, only e1S0 having been subscribed.
 riotous meeting took place at Shanagary, county Youghal, to-day, where some laborers attacked the farmers and a severe fight en- sued. The platform was finally abandoned to the mob.
 At the meeting at Athlone the speakers platform collapsed and Mir. Parnell narrowly escaped serious injury. Many others, how ever, were more or less injured. Mir. Parnell said he wanted to organize and put against the cowardly government every Irish county. MT. Parnel and Mir O'Kelly made an exami- nation of the collapsed platform, and found that the principal support had been sawn through. There was much excitement at the discovery. Three reporters were badly hurt
 Allan, a land agent at Woodlawn, county Galway, was fired at but escaped uninjured.
 riotous meeting took place at Castlebar to-day, and reporter was badly maltreated.
