THE NEW YORK CONTEST,

Nothing definite and determinate can be
known from the New York count for several
days There are more than three thousand
election districts in the State and it is not to
reported from them are correct; indeed, the
kilograms of yesterday proceedings show that
a number of boards were compelled to adjourn
because of irregularities and informaities.
The canvassing board of New York and Kings
county have thirteen days in which to com
plete their work. and it is not impossible
that the full term will be required to properly
expurgate and declare the vote. There are a
number of serious and important defects,
the legal remedying of which may
turn the narrow plurality in the State
one way or the other. For instance: it is
claimed that about 800 clipped" Republican
tickets, on which the name of the last Repub-
ican elector had been cut off by the printer,
were thrown out If this is found to be true, it
is evidently a wrong; the ballots should have
been counted for the other thirty-fve
electors. But, as we have said the
work is long and tedious one. Enough has
been already developed to show there are
errors and possible frauds which may over
turn the slight plurality claimed by either
committee, and to Dramatically assume that
either Cleveland or Blaine has carried the
State, in view of the facts and the unparal-
leled closeness of the vote in a total of 1900
900, is the merest bravado. The true result
can not be known for many days. and when
it is finally known and declared, be it
in favor of Cleveland or Blaine, it will be ac
cepted by the country-with disappointment,
of course, by one party or the other-without
hesitation or trouble Only brainless and dis
loyal tricksters will even think of violent OPP
position, much less talk of it; and these, if
there be any such, will be speedily over
whelmed by the patriotic good sense and 10y
atty of the great mass of the people,.
The New York Tribune says of the work of
the canvassing board:
''When it is considered that [clerical] errors
occur every year, in hundreds of election dis
tricts in the State that they average more
than a dozen votes for each, and that the cor
rection of them in the final canvass rarely
fails to change the result more than 500
votes, it will be seen that it is altogether inn
possible at this time to assert with fair ground
for confidence that the official canvass will
show plurality for either candidate 1t
is the honest belief of the supporters of Mr..
Blaine that he received a plurality of
the votes actually cast. Many supporters of
Mr. Cleveland have belief, doubtless equal
ly honest that the plurality of the votes
actually cast was in his favor Nothing but
the most careful and scrupulous canvass of
the returns can determine which is right.
Meantime it is known that as early as Sunday
last the inside Democratic count had been re-
duced by themselves to less than $50 plurality
in the State. With only such figure to OPP
pose to the Irregularities already discovered,
what candid man is yet warranted in consid-
ering the result ascertained?"

side before they got off of plowed ground.

Organic Law.

Charles s. Varian, we'll known
attorney has been interviewed by the
Reno Gazette on the question of call
ing Constitutional Convention. He
opposes it and thinks the needed
changes in the present Constitution
can be brought about by amendments.
If the State and county governments
are too expensive he thinks they could
be improved by iessening the officers
ard consolidating counties. The evil
of having to accepta new Constitution
as it stands, the good with the bad
and the danger of sore delegates hav.
ing to support objectionable sections
in order TO get destined sections in
serted. to say nothing Of the extra ex-
penses, all seem to Mr.. Varian to show
that a Constitutional Convention
should not be called. He would re.
model the Supreme Court, though he
has not decided whether it is best to
have the District Judges act as Su.
preme Court. He would pass law
compelling the Supreme Court to rem
der decision on all cases within q
certain time or lose their salaries,
Mr.. Varian's views will, no doubt,
meet with popular approval.

An Ear fer Music.

A Hawthorne young man has =
peculiar gift in music which is, per-
haps, not paralleled in the world,
Having been born with taste for the
art which soothes the savage breast, he
became performer on several instru-
ments and derived much pleasure from
his talent, but it was not until he met
with what at first was considered an
unfortunate accident that music
became for him the supremity of bliss.
He had something the matter with one
of his ears which necessitated the use
of an ear syringe, and short time ago,
in carelessly using it, he threw
stream of water so violently against
the drum that that membrane was
broken. When the accident occurred
he supposed that he had done himself
= serious injury, but it seems that only
a very small hole was broken through
the tympanum, and in a few days,
when the Inflammation had subsidized he
found that, by holding his nose and
closing his mouth, he could whistle
through the left ear. In little while
he was able to modulate the tones so
as to produce melody, and now he can
whistle any air perfectly. He says
| that until cause and effect were located
in the same organ, he never really had
even dim idea Of the divine pleasure
of music. Now, although to others
the air sounds low and soft, he feels
as though he was in the center of Il
universe of music. His appearance
while whistling corroborates his asser
tion, for although Obliged to hold his
nose with his fingers, his countenance
glows with the ecstasy OF intense
pleasure, and, Notwithstanding the
awkward situation of nose and fingers
his features reflect soul wrapt il
harmony and portray the workings Of
mind contemplating

Most smokers like good meer
scbaum pipe when they seat them
selves for solid comfort in the
aroma OF the weed. Whatever aids
in the enjoyment Of good square
smoke should be considered worthy of
attention. This being conceded, let
the smoker construct small ball of
asbestos fihcrs, finely divided, and,
after thoroughly cleaning his pipe,
press the ball down into the bottom Of
it. The asbestos ball should occupy
about the amount of space that Is
usually filed by unsmoked tobacco.
The asbestos will not only prevent
crumbs of tobacco. from getting into
and clogging up the stem of the pipe.
but will also absorb great quantity
of nicotine. When the asbestos be.
comes too much filled with nicotine TO
do lis work properly, it is only neces-
sary to put il into the fire or the flame
of lamp to thoroughly cleanse it, the
asbestos being indestructible in even
