turns from all points. indicates majority
for Stoneman of about 10000 on a total
vote, and for Blake, Republican, for mayor
of about 1900. The balance of the Demo

ties. No returns yet on congress. A col.
lection of returns show the Democrats
have carried the state ticket by hand
some majority, probably 5000; have elect
ed all the congressman except in the Twen-
tieth district, where Page is probably sue
cessful, although the contest is close, and
have made clean sweep of the San Fran
cisco municipal ticket with the possible
exception Of MAJOR. Figures vary on the
mayoTalty, and it Is not certain at present
who is ahead. Legislative returns are very
meager, but it is probable the Democrats
have working majority in both houses.
The Prohibition ticket cut no figure.

clean sweep on the state and congressional
ticket, Sage's defeat being now assured by
| defections in Alameda, Sacramento ant
San Joaquin counties, aggregating abou
5000 votes. The legislature is not figured
up, but the Democrats will have majori

Fifth. Winans in the Sixth and Carleton in
the 7th. The Republicans will have the
remainder unless the Ninth JONES the

the Republicans concede to Jones, Dem.

Greenback vote in the Second district, up

EDUCATION AND PANICS.

There were 4,0O8, ,9O7 farms in the United
States in the year 1880. OF these 1884,
BOG were occupied by the owners, 322;357
we're rented, and 702, pa let on shares.
There were 105,OOO farms of over 500
acres, 2,728,89S between so and 500 acres.
and the rest were under so acres. From
1870 to 1880 the number of farms in
creased 60 per cent.
These figures have an important bearing
upon that mysterious subject. American
panics. 1t has always greatly puzzled
English writers on America to understand
why panics in this country should be so
much more severe than abroad, and should
be followed by seasons of such marvellous
prosperity. 1t is not singular that their
explanation of these questions should have
little value. since they approach this like
all other American subjects without any
facts to control their hypothesis. a
writer in the Pail Mall Gazette
recently gave as a cause that Americans
were almost exclusively All agricultural
people. and consequently obliged every
year to stake their prosperity on the
weather's gambling table.
The writer could not have heard of the
panic of 1873 which occurred after two
most abundant haryests.
The truth is the reverse of this writer's
statement. America's wide area and great
variety of climate and products give hs1
great immunity from injury from
failure of crops. No great
country has suffered so lit
tie from such cause.
AS these statistics prove, panic is sim
ply the result of the overcrowding of ou1
cities. The producers of food bear toe
small t proportion to the non-producers
Provisions decrease, manufactures III
crease. The price of the latter falls below
its cost of manufacture and the tide turns
The relief from the panic is the exodus
from cities to the country. Idlers and
manufacturers become farmers.
The cause of the greater severity of our
of our cities. The cause Of this is beyond
| a question, the wide diffasior
of education throughout the whole country
We have no peasantry; all our farmers
boys receive certain degree of education
| and they are taught to think themselves
at least the equals of their city cousins
The country offers them but scanty amuse
ment, and the first aim Of almost every
country lad is to go to city. This &C
counts for the rapidity with
which few years of pros.
perity crowd our towns. It is one great
cause of that feverish life that pervades

THE COURSE OF THOUGHT.

One need not read the papers of the
country with more than half an eye to
see, that, so far as their evidence is per-
suasive, the center of gravity of American
thought is rapidly passing westward. Of
our eastern papers those of New York city,
are allowed by all to show the most marked
ability. Yet, how many of them exhibit
in their columns either thought Or style?
The Herald, of course, devotes its chief
energy to maintaining its advertisements.
Its only effort to secure intellectual ability
was made singularly enough by young
Bennett. Hearing that some prominent
journalists laughed at his editorials, he
made an ejaculatory prayer, and added
with fervor that he supposed money would
buy them. An offer of a larger salary trans
ferred them to his Office, and as he sup
posed, made the purchase of their brains
secure. But alas, men cannot be
bought. He only carried back
the empty shells of their intel
lects. The spirit which marked their earlier
efforts when they wrote from conviction
has never reappeared since they have writ.

There remains the Times and the Sun. II
would be foolish to deny
that both these papers are conducted with
great ability. The former paper is not
however, without grave defects which it's
English proprietor's contempt for the
American people prevents him from cor
recting. Its literary editor from his lack
of a common classic education feels a
hatred for all scholars, and; from his lack
of popular success feels q hatred for the
people, and from being obliged always to
praise the publications of the large houses
that advertise in his paper has lost what
independent judgment he possessed.
Moreover large portion of the Sunday
Times is made up of story and shorter
articles stolen from English papers and
magazines. The articles are well selected,
but such a "patent inside," IS wholly un-
worthy of paper that aspires to be a
leader of American thought.
There remains the Sun, which is the best
edited paper on either side of the ocean.
The theory of its editor is that news should
be impartially sifted through the trained
intellects of specialists, and only the ker-
nels presented to the public. 1t is this
method that makes the cost of running so
small paper so enormous. But the Sun,
though rapid and deep. is but small
channel for the outflow of the Eastern
mind.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.---The charge has
recently been made that the widow of the
confederate Gen. Pickett, who has long
held position in the war department,
was removed at the instance of Senator
Malone. It was stated at
the war department to day, how
ever, that Malone had nothing whatever
to do with the removal, and that Mrs.
Pickett was removed at the direction of
Secretary Lincoln, who interprets the law
to mean that widows of Union soldiers
shall be given preference when they are de-
serving, and as there were many applica-
tions from worthy widows of Union SOL
diers, he gave the place of Mrs. Pickett to
one of them.
The ways and means committee will
meet here next week to endeavor to come
to some agreement as to legislation pend
ing before the committee, and to consider
the recommendation of the tariff commits
sion, if any recommendation shall be laid
before them. 1t is known that Judge Kelly.
chairman of the committee, will insist that
bills be reported which will make large re-
ductions on the internal revenue taxation.
His ultimate object is to abolish the inter
nal revenue system altogether. Morrison
and Carlisle, on the other hand, will un-
doubtedly insist that there shall be large
reduction in the custom tariff.
The appropriations committee will also
meet next week, and one of their members
has recently written here that they hope
to be able to complete at least fou,
appropriation bills, so that they
may be reported to the house at the open
ing of the session. These promises are
heard before every session of congress, bu.
they are very rarely realized.
The postofice authorities will urge the
senate to pass at as early day as posi-
BILE the bill that has passed the
house for the modification of the money
order system. DR.. Mcdonald, the chief
of the money order division, is of the
opinion that if the bill shall become law
rates will SO largely increase the business
of the department as to be large source
of revenue to the government. An effort as
also to be made to pass the postal currency
bill at an early day. There is a very urgent
demand for this bill from many quarters.
The local butchers are endeayoring to
check the sale of Chicago beef as much as
possible. One of the means to this end has
been to bring suit against those who

ground that such dealers are liable to the

produce dealers. Such case was tried
before the court here to-day. The ques-
ton is to be Immediately taken to the dis
