The Pie. ON the October Elections


N. o. ricsyune.
The news from Indiana, Ohio and West
Virginia is not so favorable as we had hoped.
Ohio has gone Republican by considerable
majority. Indications are that West Virginia
has gone Democratic by decreased msior.

cratic party for its freedom from Republican
usurpations, and lis 1888 votes may be reck
onPd as sac for Hancock and English. New
York, with her re- united Democracy, will
bring the ticket within twelve votes of vic.
tory New Jersey has nine electoral votes
and Nevada has three. These two, States, il
carried by tho Democrats, would give the
requisite twelve. They are both doubtful
States. Connecticut is another doubtful
State, and sho has six electoral votes. Truu-
bull is very popular in Illinois, and he is
making very active canvass in that State
Pennsylvania is Hancock's own State, and
his friends arc hopeful there. Altogether
there is nothing to justify dependency but
there is undoubtedly ground to fear that tho
least wayering or indifference will cost the
Democratic party the triumph which it i:
still within Its power to win.

Washington, GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Tle Senate to-
day passed the army appropriation bill with
out any amendments whatever, consequently
it now goes to the President for his signature,
which it will undoubtedly receive, as the bill
of last year, which was approved by him,
contained an exact duplicate of the clauses
concerning the employment of the army for
police purposes, on which alo:.e the Republic
can leaders in Congress have based their OBJ
%jectlons to the present bill. The amendments
offered in the Senate to-day by Edmunds and
successfully veted down by the Democrats,
were also duplicates of those which were
offered last year; then, as now merely for the
purpose of making UP "a desired political
record. The only item of especial California
interest in the bill. is that which authorizes
the President to detail retired army officers
for service as. professors at civil colleges.
This will enable the California State Univer-
sity to secure a military instructor and thereby
retain The government arms already loaned
to 1t. This bill, as heretofore noted, leaves
the present force and organization of the army
absolutely untouched.

A picture Of Blaine.

We are unable TO recall any case besides
Mr.. Blaine's in which a conspicuous politician
has deliberately taken the nurturing of do
mestlc hatred as his sole mission in the poll
ties of his country, for, unhappily, Mr..
Blaine's sole mission 1t must be considered.
He is striving hard for the Presidency, and
has for many years occupied prominent posi-
tons in both branches of the national legis-
lature, and yet we know of no opinion look
ing to the constructive work of government
which he has preached or with which he is
identified. We know of no bill affecting any
great public interest which he has introduced,
debated instructively, Or amended. We do
not know, and we do not believe anybody
else knows, what his views are about any of
the problems, such as currency, taxation or
administration, now pending or impending.
On none of these subjects has he rendered
any aid in forming or mouldingpublic opinion.
None of his friends, in tact, make any claims
Of this kind for him. No account of his SER
vices in this field has been published or prom.
ised. No speech Of his on any Of them has
been reprinted. OF is ever recalled or quoted.
The one thing said for him, and it is said fire.
q~uently, is that he is 'magnetic"-that is, he
has a taking manner-which, when one thinks
itover seriously, is probably the oldest quail
tication standing, as 1t does, alone) for the
chief executive Office of the busiest and most
powerful Democratic State in the World. 1t
might ful nish the outfit for a constitutional
monarch but to ask nothing else of all Amcri-
can President, at the time which his sup
porters say is " full of peril" has all air Of
thinly-lisguised ridicule ofthc Office he seeks.
If those who are now trying to bring the in
tluence Of sober-lnindeJ and reflective people
to bear on politics can succeed even in begin
ming to throw discredit On such political
careers as those we have been describing, to
force men who make public life their pur-
suit to LOOK TO the presidency AS their le-
ward, in pal, at least, of industry and zeat
in the service OF the government, or i'll the
formation and direction Of the great currents
Of popular thought Of which the government
is or ought to be. the expression. they will
achieve a thoroughly practical piece OF re-

In carboniferous words,

The tracks of acient birds. .
And strata of new feelings. love,
Crops as strong and bOld
Az sandstonesf from the hillside crops
hove the rocks of old.

The most delightful thoughts
As runs a thread of precious ore
Though cold, auriferous quartz;
And as secondary rocks
The primal overlap,

Is quite distinct from tr

Basaltic boulders thrill,
And that Mount Tom itself would throb
obedience to your will.

And change to passions willing slave

Would warm q stalagmite;
And their ETHEREAL hue Outvies

And that tn arterial fount is where

And courses through my tingling veins
Like fumes Of ~innabar

And if some tender nerolites
Should answer Hymen's knock,
