not be counted as it is cast.-New York
Times.
From all Of which we get this nugget
of satisfaction: That only fraud or mis-
takes will be the means Of changing the
vote as reported. As to the charge of
fraud involved in the reports published,
we do not believe the Democrats can be
expected to lose more thereby than the
Republicans as the number of election
boards Of the latter political complexion
is much larger than that of the former.
For the same reason. also, as regards
mistakes. we may reasonably expect that
a majority of them, if there be any, will
be corrected in favor of Cleveland. If
there has been subsequent %tampering
with the lists, this is a horse of another
color. We are confident, however, that
the Democrats in every emergency have
been able to protect themselves.

Man.

Huxley gives the following table of what
a fu%ll-grown man should weigh, and how
this weight should be divided: Weight,
154 pounds, made up thus: Muscles and
their appurtenances, 68 pounds; skeleton,
"a pounds; skin, 10h pounds; fat, rs
pounds; brain, three pounds; thoracic Wis.
cera. 81 pounds; abdominal v%iscera, II
pounds; blood which would drain from
body, Z pounds. This man ought to con-
sumo per diem: Lean beefsteak, 5000
grains; bread, 5000 grains; milk, 1000
grains; potatoes, 5000 grains; butter, 600
grains, and water, q 1000 grains. His
heart should beat rs times a minute. and
be should breath is times a minute. In "a
hours he should vitiate 1,750 cubic feet of
pure air to the extent of one per cent, A
man, therefore. Of the weight mentioned
ought to have 800 cubic feet of well venti-
lated space. He would throw off by the
skin Is ounces of water. 300 grains OF solid
matter and 400 grains Of carbonic acid
every "a hours, and his total loss during
the "a hours would be 6 pounds of water
and o little above Q pounds Of solid matter.

CARSON, Nov. 8.-While Nevada's cleo.

people are rejoicing over your election
and speaking for the Democrats, l con
gratulate you on the glorious victory
achieved by the people, and sincerely wish

1t might be in order right here to ask
Mr.. Adams if he does not owe his election

that same corporate wealth" he slurs 2
Such a remark from such a source is rather
inconsistent.-Reno Journal.
Gen. Powning, the editer of the Journal
is sorer than a mar of his size and expert
ence ought to be. He should take biz
medicine like q man. At any rate, b,
ought not to enlist among a half dozer
men in Nevada, who, whenever anything
hurts them, empty their noses on Gov
Adams. The truth is, and the Genera
knows it, that Mr.. Adams was elected Gov
ernor of this State by a strictly popular
vote and without any aid from ''corporat'
wealth." Mr.. Adams dispatch to Presi
dent Cleveland tells the plain truth. Il
contains no "slur," and expresses nothing
more than the natural Democratic prid,
in a wholesome endorsement by the PEG
pie.

THE "COUNTING OUT" PROPO.
SITION.

Under the laws of New York, a mis-.
count can happen only in case there
was no representative of the minority
party among the Inspectors Of Election
to watch the count, or if the representa-!
tive had been bribed to acquiesce in a
false count. The law provides for an
Inspector of Election on the part of the
minority in every election district in the
State, and such representation was, as a
matter Of fact, present in every election
district Of the State on Tuesday night.
The Inspectors are not permitted to pass
upon the legal suficiency of the ballots
dropped in their boxes. They are to
forward a specimen of each kind of ballot
used, with their return, to the Super
visors of the county. A record is kept
of the announcement of the count in
every election district, and as the func-
ton of the Supervisors to whom the re-
ports are made is simply to add the
totals of election districts, any discrep-
ancy between the vote announced by the
Supervisors and the sum of the district
totals would be detected and exposed at
once and would subject the Supervisors
to severe punishment. No doubt upon
proof of the discrepancy a court would
Issue a mandamus to the Supervisors to
make a recount on arithmetical prin-
ciples and not upon partisan sentiments.
The function of the State Board of
Canvassers is also ministerial. Their
duty is simply to add up the county
totals. OF course, any failure here
would be visible to the whole State. A
question as to the sufficiency of the
ballots may be raised by the protest of
any member of the State Board, which is
fled with the return made by his associ-
ates.
The whole business of counting the
votes is done in the daylight from the
first to the last. Election frauds in this
State have been generally confined to
this city, and to cases in which the In.
spectors appointed on behalf of the min
ority has been in collision with his
associates. There is absolutely no fear
that the vote of the rural districts will

caused the noise, and q cure for it, he

took it. She rode on the car three days,

she was paid the sum Of $4,000 and a roy

Walton, and she lives in New York City.

A Pennsylvania statute makes betting,or
the result Of the election a disqualification
for voting at such election. Judge Allison
decided in Philadelphia that this law i,
unconstitutional, and that the voter chal
Hanged for having made a bet was entitled
to vote. The decision is based on the
ground that the Legislature has no power
to prescribe a disqualification not made by
the constitution.
Whether this principle is sound or other
wise, it can have no application in New
York, for the reason that in that State the
law against election bets is in the constitu'
ton itself.

People here all arm themselves for
the winter. There can be no question
as to its severity. Indeed, one would
be inclined to imagine it were almost
welcomed as a friend, for keen disap-
pointment is expressed when the snow
is taldy in falling. After the heavy
rains which fail in the late autumn
snow roads are almost necessity of
existence. If fros.s suddenly set in
before they are made it is under great
difficult that the country people
bring supplies to the metropolis; the
price of provisions rises in proportion
and distress ensues. Double windows
are universal; they are an absolute
necessity. I or the admission of fresh
air one pane in each window is left so
that it may be opened at pleasure.
The rest of the window is so thorough
ly secured that not a breath of the
keen air can enter. This process ac-
complished, the difference of the tenn
perature within doors is sensibly
perceptible, and heating by means of
stoves may then be delayed for some
time. The interior of Il Russian house
is not familiar to all, so, under favor
of the Lares and Penates, we will
enter the sacred domicile, first promising
that a well-kept house in st. Peters
burg or Moscow is exceedingly com
Portable. A tall, portly suisse (house
porter) admits you, when footman
ushers you up mostly spacious hand
some staircase, often of marble, and,
after passing through the double doors,
you are introduced into an ante-room,
where you leave your inevitable gar
ment-your fur cloak. The reception
rooms are then entered. and they often
seem interminable; eight or nine in
number in the houses on the Palace or
English Quays are not uncommon,

generally opening into one another.
The inlaid parquets of the rooms are
often very beautilul-the floor polisher
is an important institution in Russia;
of course some rooms are richly carpet
ed and do justice to the looms OF
Turkey and Persia. The silk or
damask curtains, wall hangings and
coverings for the ottomans are superb.
All Is luxurious; vases of lapsislazuli,
porphyry and malachite pictures and
objects Of art in general are in profu-
sion. The Russians are very fond Of
promenading through their suites Of
apartments, and ample space is left for
this purpose. The winter being so
long, every conceivable means is used
to shed around the charms Of warmer
climates; trellises, along which various
creepers are trained, are introduced;
pretty baskets of plants (tulips,
hyacinths and camellias in full bloom,
while winter is still raging outside),
heconstant warm temperature indoors
being favorable to their cultivation.
The continental fashion Of living in
aats much prevails here. Sleeping
rooms are not invariably numerous
in proportion to the reception rooms;
but this state Of things naturally i'm
proves with the increase of civilization.

There are many unsuspccted ways in

sects spread diseases, Acurious instance
is given IN the .Velicoi anil SNyicaj Re,
porter of village in which one person in
each of several families was suddenly
found to be suffering from consumption
Of the lungs or tubercular phthisis. Upon
Investigation it was found that the dis.
ease had been spread through the village
by means Of spring chickens sold therein
from a private hospital near by where
the chickens had been reared. Apatient
of the hospital a lady, had amused her
self by feeding and pctting the chickens
and had given them the meat which she
had chewed for its juice. The spittoou
used by the patient had also been cmpted
near where the chickens had been fed,
and the fowls had consumed the sputa
from it. When the fowls were examined
they were found to be badly diseased,
many had died, and most of them had tn
bcrcular baciIli in their livcrs and flesh.
