lican party. II the 0.O79 West Virginia
(;recnbackcrs of 1880 should he deducted from
the Republican vote, much more should tho
16.001 Nebraska Grecnbackers OF 1882 be
deducted from the Democratic vote, and this
would only reduce Mr.. Clcvcland's relative
strength about 1900.
Finally, thero remains the Iowa Grconback
force of 3C,sl7 in 1852. which fused with the
Democrats. II il maintained that enough
separate votes for Butler electors were cast In
Iowa to Prove that $4,000 Butler votes went
into the fusion. There can br no ground what
ever for counting these votes rs east for Mr..
Cleveland But II II be held that only the last
previous vote should be deducted, rs in other
States except Michigan, Mt least 3o,Sl7 should
be taken from the Cleveland vote.
Many official corrections Of previous profess
cdly y" 0Glcnn returns from the different
states have been made; as corrected to thi'
date, dividing the fusion vote in Michigan as 1t
was cast, and giving both parties the vote they
received in Missouri. West Virginia and
Nebraska, the total exclusive of Iowa is as
follows: For Blaine, l,GIs,S79 for Cleveland,
1903, ,533 for Butler, l7lls7; for It. John,
1920. For Iowa, mt least 3O.Sl7 should
bc taken from the fusion vote and allotted to
Butler. and the totals would then be for
Blaine, 1,Sl5,96S; for cleveland, 4, $4,000
for Butler, 2O5.3OI; for 81. John, l5o,592 !;
plurality for Mr.. Blaine, 1901. If the Ne
biaska Grrcnback vote of 1882 be deducted
from Clcvcland, and the West Nirginin Green
back vote of 1850 be deducted from Blaine,
the plurality for Blaine would be l3,S1G.
M those results are attained in spite Of the
virtual Acknowledgement Of l,2OO,OOO persons
in the Southern States. If there hnd been or
could now be- free and fair vote IN obedience
to the Constitution OF the United States and
an honest count of the votes freely cast. the
result would hc substantially as follows: For
Blaine. 5000 900 for Cleveland, 1900 900 !;
for all others. $4,000. BY the greatest crime
against free government that has ever been

GERMAN PRINCES.
Men Who Have Control the Patron-
age.
Spectator

A German reigning prince is even
nov, within his own territories, much
more than a great noole, He does
not govern his army, he has a most
limited control over criminal law,
and he cannot alter the contribution
to be paid to the empire, but he has
great influence on civil legislation
aud taxation and education; ne is
nearly absolute over local honor uni
versities; he is the fountain of local
honor, and, above and beyond all, he
has a supreme control over all patron
age. German conshtutiOnalism is
very much the CONSTITUTE onalism of
England before the accession of
George ~, when if the king liked TO
make mans fortune he could. and
if he was known to recommend can
didate the favored one rose with un
intelligiblerApidity. Patronage means
much more in Germany, where all
men seek appointments, than it does
in England, and its dispenser is observ-
ed with much more regard. Add to
these facts that the people in each
principality have been accustomed for
centuries TO feel loyalty to the prince,
and TO consider his fortunes bound up
with their own, and we shall perceive
that the sovereign even ia Reuss and
Waldeck cas- still do more, much
more, to promote intellectual life than
any noble, or any but the strongest
municipality. Very often he has
liked to do this, and has drawn round
him a group of professors, authors,
artists, or men OF science, who have
made his capital place for the diffu-
sion of light Leipsic, Munich, Wei
mar, and MeiRingen could hardly
have been what they were, or in differ
ent degrees, still are without their
princes. On the other hand, the petty
courts were often cehtArs of moral
corruption, and of a servility which
penetrated and paralyzed even litera
ture and the point for observers to
consider now is which influence is
likely in the changed condition of
affairs to prevail. Will the limitations
on the actions and independence of
the petty courts make them worse or
better centers of intellectual influence
or centers of moral poisonf A prlori 1t
should make them better, for men
usually like to accept any leadership
conceded to them and leadership in
art education and the management of
civil life is not an unenticlng position.
II is often, however, not enough to
stimulate princes, who shrink more
than most men from work which may
not succeed are apt to feel weary
when the great careers of politics and
war are cleared TO them, and TO fall
back on pleasure, and especially the
pleasure of harem, as the one which
circumstances leave open.

rest quietly until it arrsved, it was
necessary to look at our watches
jast before going to sleep. If we
neglected this precaution we were apt
to sleep uneaslly, waking first an
hour or more before the proper time,
and allowing ourselves in consequence
only short maps afterward until the
minute arrived for getting up. What
ever part of our mind it might have
been that took charge of waking us
seemed to begin its count of the hours
from the time at which we composed
ourselves to sleep and if we did not
inform ourselves of this our conscious
reckoning was correspondingly un-
certain and the effort to wake vague,
but II we took clear note of the time
in the evening we could sleep peace
fully through the whole of the allotted
interval, sure Of being aroused at or
near Its expiration. Another condi
ton of waking we found TO be the
occurrence of some small external
event, through which, as il were, the
internal effort could take effect upon
our senses. A very trihing circum-
stance-the flutter OF leaf outside
the window, the chirp of bird or
any other of the unnumbered sounds
of early morning was sufficient, if it
happened at the right time, to wake
us by sort of magnifying process
which at that moment gave the power
of startling us by noise which would
at other times be unnoticed; but with
out such sensible impression we think
we should not have walked. In fact,
on one or two occasions we remem-
Der to have been impressed with dim
consciousness of waiting for some
thing TO happen before waking, and a
moment later trifing sound would
open our senses with little shock.
To the necessity of waiting for
this impression, small as
it might be, we were dis
posed to attribute the variation of a
minute or two, either way from the
exact moment assigned for waking,
which might otherwise be kept with
exact punctualitv.

An Epidemie That Way Garry on All
white Elephants

Colonel Robinson, who is supposed
TO be standard authority ON every
point about circus FROM lemonade
to dip flaps, was in the American Club
House few nights ago when some one
incidentally remarked: II see Fore
paugh's white elephant is dead, The
Colonel pulled out the ends of his
moustache and smiled in a way that
convinced those about him that his
reputation as am infallible circus en-
cyclopedia was deserved. YES be.
gun the Colonel, so | see; so | see.
Ii won't surprise me when learn that
Barnun's white elephant has died in
the same convenient way. He's due.
Yes, Barnum's is due. I've noticed
that expensive curioslties, like white
elephants, are invariably called in in
time. They made an error, though,
when they didn't drive Light of Asia
over the Niagara Falls, or even to
have butchered him in a railroad col
lission would have zen better than
this tame way of killing him in win
ter quarters. The mortality among
circus features after they have been
en- exhibition is fearful to contemplate,
but it comes in smooth for the circus
managers
There was Barnum's wolly horse.
1t didn't live month--ouy of the
business. Charlie Leman's blonde
horse, with a pink name and tail, UNI
fortunately died on the cars the day
before lot of Indianapolis doctors
were going 70 examine it. Old John

to say, died within two weeks after

joyed good health until Pittsburg

that she was fraud. The charge so
worked upon her sensitive mind that
her sorrowiEg manager Was compell-
ed to announce her death. Soft goes,
and j expect every day TO read a
touching obituary notice of the won
derful tattooed elephant that was one
of the features of Robinson's circus

''Well, the Ro5insons are going

than one season in the same stretch Of

distance on good ground the bear,
supposing only dogs are after him,
becomes an easy victim. Sometimes
it is easier and more profitable to trap
bears than to hunt them with pow
der and ball Various kinds of traps
are used. The log trap, which cap
lures the bear alive, and the heavy
steel trap, with hook or log attach
ment are considered the best.
When q bear finds himself trapped
in steel ira he usually makes for a
ledge of rocks, and then tries to
break the trap by Shaping it down
with all his might, and as they gen
orally have great strength, it takes a
good trap to stand it. When a bear
finds that he cannot get rid of the
trap he tries to get away, but of course
is easily followed, as the trap with
the attachments forces him to travel
very slowly. Some hunters claim
that when bear gets his foot in a
trap, and finds he cannot get rid of
it, he will actually chew off the leg,
leaving part of it in the trap. and go
off and nurse the wounded stump so
well that in short time it will heal
up So that he can travel pretty nearly
as well as before. Whea a Shanda-
ken hunter wants to capture bear
alive he uses the log trap and bats it
with a sleeps head, well roasted,
which will tempt bear into almost
any place.

Waking Ones Self at Will.
American Architect.

AN old problem of the psychologists
has been review d by a letter to La
Nature. written by a French business
man who mentions that for years he
has been in the habit of waking him
self at any hour in the morning that
he wished, simply by impressing
upon his mind before going TO sleep
the fact that he must awake at that
hour, and saying further that he sell
dom varies five minutes from the mo-
ment which he had assigned himself.
We have very distinct recollection
of many instances in which we have
ourselves tried the experiment with
success, and at one time when it was
necessary for a considerable period
for us to wake on certain days of the
week at very early hour, TO take the
first train to the place where our ser
vices were then needed, we had an OPP
portunity Of studying the circum-
stances under which this precullar
species of self control is most easily
exercised.
During this period we found no
difficulty in waking regularly within
about five minutes OF the time neces-
tary to enable us to reach the train
comfortably, although for portion
of the time this involved getting up
long before daylight; but we discover
ed also that in order to wake with
precision al the right moment, and 70

The Women Of Vienna.

The education of girls in Vienna is
somewhat peculiar and worthy of
note, writes a correspondent of that
city. Up to fifteen years Of age they
are kept at their studies, but are not
deprived of society. They dress very
simple, rarely wearing silk gown
until the day they leave the shoot
room. After they leave school they
go through years or even two years
teaching in the pantry and ia the
kitchen under some member Of the
family, or even, in some cases, in al
other family under trained cooks.
They may never be required to cook a
dinner but they are thus rendered in
dependent of cooks and servants, as
they learn how TO do everything
themselves long before they begin
house keeping on their own account.
When married they are most atfec-
tionate wives and mothers. An
Austrian lady, in fact, is as accom-
plished and learned as an English
governess, as good q housekeeper and
cook as a German, as witty and viva.
cious in society as Partisan, as pas
sionate as an Italian and as handsome
as an American, some of the most
b beautiful women in Europe being
found in Vienna. Germans and also
Austrians are celebrated for their
stocks of linen. Here, as soon as a
girl is born. the weaving Of her linen
is begun, and every year a piece or a
certain number of yards is sci aside
for her trousseau, ready for her mar
riage. Grandmamas, on their side,
are not idle. They pass their time
knitting for their grandchildren, sup
plying not only their present wants,
but also laying aside for the future, a
dozen dozens of stockings of every
kind being the usual number Of any
brides trousseau, and some of these
knitted stockings are as fine as the
finest woven ones. An Austrian girl
or lady is never, may say, seen with
out some kind Of work in her hand
Ladies work even in society. They
do nothing at balls, of course, but |
think that is the only exception to the
rule.

Another Collapsed Iron-Clad.
Philadelphia Press

1t is now an open secret in English
official circles that the Agamennon,
double screw armorplated turret.
ship, is TO all intents and purposes
utterley useless. The rudder has
been csntived so as to work only in
dead water, and the result is that it is
practically impossible to steer the
costly monster, and when she starts
it is a matter of profound uncertainty
what direction she may take. In all
probability it will DE found necessary
to convert the ship into a single
screw, at cost of 800, 600.
