and sentenced TO be hanged in the town

Zone of the most gratifying victories
to all Democrats, to all Americans, is the
overwhelming defeat of young Astor, the
millionaire, who actually imagined that
he could buy his way into Congress with
gold coin and champagne, distributed in
rum-shops and dance.houses. 1t would
have been disrraeeful to New York; it
would have been 4 terrible lesson TO our
boys; it would have been a reflection
upon the whole country, had this rich
young fellow succeeded in purchasing
an election. But the people are, as usual,
right, sound and true. Astor is beaten,
IN spite of his money, and rather more
badly beaten than he would have been
had he distributed no champagne and
gold coins. The same glorious state of
affairs prevailed in the other Congress
sional contest. Tom Murphy, an old
Republican hack, was nominated by
Grant and supported by President Arthur
with promises of worthy Offices John
Hardy, Democrat who has lived for
thirty-two years in the district, opposed
Tom Murphy. Then the President of the
United States came on from Washington
and took off his Chief Magisterial coat
to beat Hardy. The Presidents organ,
the Tribune. fought the Civil War over
again and denounced honest John Hardy
as Copperhead. Republican money
flowed like water to elect Tom Murphy
But look at the returns! Hardy's victory
is simply overwhelming.

When a young man promises his affi-
anced that if she will only stick to him he
will be a good boy, attend church regu.
larly, quit imbibing the ardent, and will
never throw any more OF his ducats away
on ''soiled doves he is making a very
good promise, and if he will always adhere
to it, it will result in much good to him
personally. In nine cases out of ten,
however, we are forced to declare that
such promises are not carried out. The
reason for this is that with the large pro.
portion of our young men they are easier
made than kept. The result in nearly all
cases is that the young men generally
resort to regular system of deception
by which he succeeds in binding the
eyes of his too credulous darling, and she
falls into the matrimonial trap he has set
for her just the same as though he had
never made her any promises of good
behavior whatever. Moral: Young ladies'
should remember that young men desir.
GUS of getting married are the best peo-
pie for promises in the world. Promising
is an art with them and they have it
reduced to a science.

BROKEN BOTTOM.
A River Bottom Gives Way and
Floods q Large Soft Coal Mine.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-on Friday night
the bed of Prairie creek broke through
into one Of the mines of the Chicago,
wilmington and VermIllion coal COM
pany at Streator. in this State. The bed
OF the stream at the point where the
break was made is only eight or nine
inches above the bed Of some % feet of
quick sand, and the rains of Friday
caused pressure enough to break through
the bed and the quick sand into the
mine. The hole thus made is about 200
by 400 feet. Only four men were work.
ing In the mine when the break occurred
and all of them escaped. Most of the
implements and all but two of the mules
employed in the shaft were gotten out.
The loss to the company is estimated at
100000. 1t will require four or five
weeks to pump out the mine and repair
the break. The mine is the largest soft
coal mine in working order in America.

Who VIII Constitute the Cabinet-A
Disreputable Grant Ring-A Crowd
Of Third Termers.

WASHINGTON, November 12.-It is un-
derstood that during the President'svisit
to New York, the new Cabinet was virtu.
ally arranged, and the list of nomina-
tions to different foreign missions will at
once be made up to be transmitted to
the Senate in December. There is some
difference of opinion as to what names
are on the Presidents slate, but there is
none as to the fact that it will be Stal.
wart to the core and as strongly Grant as
it is possible to make it. The following
Is the slate according to the best infor.
nation that can be obtained: Freling.
huysen, of New Jersey, for Secretary of
State; Folger, New York, Treasury;
Chatfee. Colorado, Interior; Filley, Mis-
souri,. Postoffice; Sargent, California,
Navy; Beale Credited to Pennsylvania,
War; Howe, Wisconsin, Attorney Gener.
al. These are all Grant men and Stall
warts. Some of them are very strong
reminders of Grants last malodorous ad
ministration. Chaffee is a Colorado
man, whose daughter married one of
Grants. sons. He is rich and resides in
New York. He will be credited to Color
ado to save appearances, but he hasn't
lived there for three years. He is lust
now engaged in new star route scheme
which will boom along gloriously when
the old gang gets in. Beale lives in
Washington, but at some time of his
life was native of Pennsylvania and
will therefore be credited to that State.
He is one of Grants pets and keeps his
Arabian horses. Filley, ex-Postmaster
of st. Louis, sustained close relations
with the whisky ring that brought SC
much scandal on the closing years Of
Grants reign. and has stood by the old
man through thick and thin. He made
Missouri solid for Garnt in the last ma
tional convention and still has is it fol-
third term. Grant is the little tin goC
that Filley worships. Old Timothy How,
was and is bitter Grant man, anC
made stinging' speech in the Senate as
sailing Hayes and calling him fraud
Frelinghuysen is man of respectable at
tainments, but bigoted partisan o
Grant. Sargent, of California. is a no
torious jobber, and was repudiated b,

CONDOSIyG THEFT.
The Republican Managers Let the
Star Route Thieves 60 Free.

WASHINGTON, November lit is the
universal opinion here that the star
route prosecutions are utterly broken
down, the bluster Of Cook. government
counsel, to the contrary notwithstanding.
No one has any idea that any of the
thieves will ever be punished and for
that matter it is very well known that
there never was any serious intention to
try to convict anybody. The whole
business was set up by the Republican
managers so as TO make a show of vigor-
GUS prosecution before the elections, but
fixed in such way as to fizzle out as
soon as the elections were over. In order
to save appearances and ease off gently
there may yet be some steps taken toward
securing an indictment OF some of the
thieves, but it Is understood upon all
hands that nothing will come of it.
