THE GENERAL VERDICT.

The general verdict of the November
States leaves the parties about easy in
hon rs for the start in the Presidential
race, the only material odds Of the year
being in the Democratic gain Of Ohio.
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connect
icut, Minnesota and Nebraska are Repub-
lican, and Maryland, Virginia, New York
and New Jersey are Democratic. New
York was distracted hy Kelly specu-
lations and factious feuds, but the vote
shows that the State is Democratic. New
Jersey, Maryland and Virginia we're all
holly contested, but they are safely an
chored for Democratic Electoral vote, in
1884.
The greatest peril to the Democracy was
the Virginia contest Had Malone won
Virginia, that state would have been
transferred to the Republicans, and it
would have been only the beginning Of
the end of Democratic rule in the South
But Malone is beaten, and he may now
20 10 the Republican National Convention
but the vote of his State won't be in his
pocket.
The two parties start pretty nearly
square for 1884, with the only odds III the
Ohio Democratic victory, and the Skin
mishing of 1888 settles nothing beyond
the fact that the great battle Of next
year is entirely unsettled and must settle
itself. The party that now best serves its
country in the coming Congress, will
best serve itself in the struggle for the
cy-Pha{ads!phiu Times.

WEATHER PROPHETS.

The oldest and most reliable weather
prophets are the prairie chicken and quail
1t tl,cir coat Of feathers is close and
heavy, IT," winter will be Il cold one. If,
on the other hand, the feathers are light
and scant, the winter will be open and
mild. Old hunters always make their
preparations for winter in accordance
with this sign.-Er.
The great trouble with the weather in
this country is that it has altogether too
many prophets. With the prairie chick
ems and quails, and the muslSrat, and the
woodpecker, and the corn husk, and the
goose bone. and the nut crop, and the
caterpillar, and the rheumatism, and the
ring tailed coon,' and the signal service.
and the Virgins and Vennor cranks to
contend with, what can We expect from
the weather? No two of these prophets
indicate or predict the same kind of
weather, and who can know which to
rely upon? We have tried all Of them
and were lied to about as often as we
were told the truth We have now settled
| down to an abiding faith in Jarrett, and
nothing short Of an earthquake can
ever shake us.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST MINNEsO-


DEATH OF TIE OLDEST M1SNESO-
TIAN.
Mortimer Dancllcr, aged 121 years, died
at the residence of his son in Derrynane,
LcSueur county. Mr. Daneher was the
last surviving brother of remarkable
family, which, for downright longevity.
surpasses anything, we venture to say, in
the records Of modern times not only in
this, but in any other country. Mr.. Dane
hers mother died in her 101st year, his
oldest brother at the age of 10S years, his
second at the age of III years, months
and 20 days, and himself at the age of 1871.
The father was the shortest-lived of the
family. having died at the age Of 80. The
combined ages of the three brothers
reached the reputable age of 346 years,
including the mother 44e years, and tax
ing in the father 526 years. Mr. Dancher
was remarkably healthy and active man
never having been really i'll in his life.
Lately however, he thought sheer old age
kept him to his bed more or less, but was
never i'll, even got up and dressed him
self on Wednesday last. The old gentle
man came from the county Clare, Ireland,
and could speak nothing out side the Gel
tic tongue of his ancestors. Mr.. D pos
sessed the use of all his faculties to the
verv la5t.-Pionrer Prcss.

DURING the three months of it's legal
existence the Civil Service Commission
has appointed twenty clerks in the vari-
Gus departments at Washington, besides
a considerable number at the larger post
Offices and custom houses of the country.
While this is no revolution in politics it
must appear so to the practical politicians
who have heretofore proceeded upon the
assumption that offices were a part Of
their perquisites. Their surprise will be
still greater in case of an entire change
of administration. as in that event any
attempt to return to the old method of
favoritism would be fatal to the party
which should reinaugurate it. Civil er-
vice reform comes slowly, but 1t has come,
in a measure. 1t will stay and be i'm
proved.-Phi!adelpAia Times.

In Vermont all women who pay taxes
have right to vote in the election of
school officers. 1t is three years since
the women of the state were enfranchised
to this extent, but only small number
of them have ever put in an appearance
at the polls. At the election last week at
Burlington out Of 3l4 entitled to vote on
ly eight took the trouble to attend the
polls and cast their ballots. Much the
same condition of affairs prevailed
throughout the state. Whatever else
may be said about this it is certain that
the main labor of the women suffrage re-
formers must he to convert the women
themselves, and until that is done little
progress can be made.
