SYCAMORE Voorhees, was allowing his

at Fort Wayne the other night, when, as be

the audience what would become of their
corn if prohibition prevailed. The cyclone
of eloquence paused moment as if to spit
on his hands and get better hold, when
an old farmer arose and deliberately asked
If Mr.. Voorhees, really wished an answer to
the question. The response that came from
the Home of the Winds was, that certainly he
did; he was there for information. ''Then,"
said the farmer, 81 will adopt the Southern
phrase and reply that we would raise more
pork and less hellr' The reply was greeted
with shout of triumph, and the Wind

daring the campaign, but it hasn't made its
appearance in any of the Voorhees, hurricanes

PRor. G. NJ. HAMMOND, the New York
medical scientist, has been experimentaily
hung with viewot finding out what man
ner OF death the hanging is. He had one
doctor twist towel around his neck while
another watched him and experimental
with knives and pins to ascertain what the
sensations OF such solemn hour may be.
The verdict of Prof Hammond is, that slow
strangulation is more comfortable than the
sudden fall which breaks the neck. And
yet it does not appear by the account that
Prof Hammond tried the sudden fall that

Yesterdays Elections.

The tale we have to tell this morning will
fall uhpleasantly upon the ears OF Republic
cans. We have sustained a Bull Run re-
pulse, and the Democrats are victorious all
along the line. The next House of Repre-
sentatives will be Democratic by decisive
majority, and that party has secured the
control of many State governments. 1t has
even got temporary control of some Repub-
lican States.
The unpleasant result of yesterdays cleo
tons was not an unexpected result. In this
case the foreseen happened. Many parallels
to it may be found in our later history 1t
has for the last twenty years been the rule
that in the first Congressional election fol-
lowing the Presidential election the opposi-
ton has made gains and the administration
has suffered losses. Such was the case in
1862, in 1870, in 1874, in 1873. The only
real exception was not an apparent excep-
tion, for in 1866 the Congressional elections
were, though favorable to the Republicans,
adverse to the administration of Andrew
johnson. In all these cases the party de
feated in the middle of its term Of Office re-
covered itself and won the next Presiden-
tial campaign
There is no sound reason to doubt that
history will repeat itself, that the defeat of
1882 will be turned into victory in 1884;
that Bull Run win be succeeded by Gettys-
burg. The Republican party was divided
this year. 1t will present a solid front two
years hence. A popularity of the Repubi-
cans is that they are chastened by defeat; of
the Democrats that they are unreasonably
elatsd by victory Bearing these traits
of the two political organizations in mind
will act more soberly and the Democrats
more boisterously in the next Congress; that
we shall heal our differences and they will
widen theirs.
While we have to regret the loss of the
next House we have also to record the sue
cess of the Democrats in States that have
heretofore been Republican and ought to be
to-day. The most conspicuous Instance is
that of Massachusetts. The proud old
common ealth has chosen for her chief
magistrate man whom she has repeatedly
spurned as an advepturer and demagogue
aud made Benjamin F. Butler the successor
of John A. Andrew. It's a pitt
able exhibition she makes of her
self-one that is saddening in the extreme
Yet we of Maine cannot but take sardonic
satisfaction in the thought that the State
which has reproached Us for Garcelon and
Plaisted is cursed with Butler-that the po-
litical leaders who have broadened their
phylacteries and Enthusiastically condemned
the low tone of politics in Maine have passed
under the yoke of the conqueror.

THE official figures about the doings and
needs of the Post Office Department are even
more encouraging than the advance abstract
recently published was. 1t appears that
the appropriation of $4,000 for deficien-
cies in the service last year has not been
touched; that, probably, no part of the def
cheney appropriation of 81 100000 for the
current year will be needed; but that, on
the other hand, the revenues are likely to
amount to s50,6O0,0OO and the expenses to
only SAG, 100000, which will leave surplus
of 100000
