~ The election last week resulted in con-
siderable increase of Republican Congressman,
but not enough to make majority. The present
Congress stands 200 Democrats to lbs Republi-
cans. The next will be 1S3. Democrats to 142
Republicans. The Republicans have big con-
test on hand when they undertake to reach a ma
jority. The first thing they have to meet is an
almost "Solid South" of Representatives. Anoth-
er thing is, that where Democrats in the northern
States permitted to get control of the Legis-
latures they gerrymandered the, States they dis
tricted SO badly that the Republicans suffered
from it. Take Ohio for instance the Republi-
cans had a majority of $4,000 on the opular vote
for Congressman, and yet the Democrats have a
majority of the Congressman.

G;~Y Dung Hazletine, convicted of manslaugh-
ter in the Baltimore Criminal Court for the killing
of an abandoned woman named Thorpe, has been
sentenced by Judge Phelps to eight years con-
inement in the penitentiary. This young man is
a resident of New York State and belongs to a
good family. When the Judge passed sentence
upon Hazletine he gave him lecture which, it is
hoped, had good effect upon him, as it should
upon all young men who are leading fast life
such as this one was doing. He was a medical
student. In the penitentiary he has been set to
work at shoemaking

ne Ohio, before the election, was claimed by
the Democrats as doubtful State, yet on the 4th
instant it rolled up magnificent majority of up
wards of 10000 for the Republican nominees. In
a National contest the Buckeye State can always
be counted as safely Republican.

INDIAN SUMMER

Yellow and red the naples,
Ruby and russell the oak.
Over the hills and the h0llows
A tremulous silvery smoke.
Everything silent and peaceful,
Everything pensive and hushed,
The sky, like beautiful altar,
With purple and crimson flushed.
Tomorrow may bring the tempest,
Gloomy and cold and drear:
To-day we will bask in the sunshine,
For Indian summer is here.

- Before the election returns were all in our
Democratic friends claimed California, Oregon,
Nevada, and some went so far as to lay claim to
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and even Ohio
But when the ballots were counted the bottom
dropped out of this "claiming" business and they
were glad to get down to the "solid South" and
New Jersey and Connecticut. As chalmers" the
Democrats are without rival in this country.
