The season is nigh when it is the yearly
wont of this people to observe the day

Unto God now, therefore, in recognition

ment that throughout the land the people,

New YORK, Nov. THE excitement
was nearly as high in New York today as
yesterday, but the temper of the people
is better. Great throngs fill the streets,
but the people are good natured. Every
report that come in only confirms the plu
rality Of Gov. Cleveland The figures are
not materially changed from those telc-
graphed the Chicago Times last night. SO
far the revision makes Cleveland's plural
ity in the state l,311-a slight increase.
Jay Gould sent the following congratula
tory dispatch to the president elect this
morning
New YORK, Nov. 7.-GRovER CIEyE
LAND, Governor, Albany, n. Y: ! heart
lily congratulate ynu on your election. All
Conce,it that YOUR administration as gov
ernor has been wise and conversative, and
in the larger field as president | feel that
you will do still better, and that the vast
business interests of the country will be
entirely safe in your hands.
JAY GOULD.
People here attribute his action to the
demonstration against him last night
The Tribune still refused to give up the
fight. 1t put out Il bulletin this morning
saying:
We have no news which warrants us in
accepting the report of the Associated
Press giving this state to Gov. Cleveland
by plurality Of 1000 We still think
Blaine has won.
At o'clock this bulletin was put up:
The Associated Press figures are being
carefully revised, and all doubts will
probably be settled later in the afternoon
This was accepted by the Blaine people
as a desire to hedge, There is an im>
mense crowd around the Tribune build
ing but it is quiet and orderly. There
are no indications of further trouble.
Everywhere else throughout the city there
are signs of rejoicing. Flags are flying
on all the public buildings and on hun>
dreds of stores and residences fronting on
the principal streets. A salute has just
been fired in honor of Cleveland and
Hendricks from the front of the city hall.

Elmore A. Kent and Selah Young, of New
York, and Abram Poole and James M. Sher-
man, of Chicago, who own $4,000 worth of
stock in the West Point companies. These
gentlemen allege that their interests are being
sacrificed by John King, the resident manager,
who is disposing of the property Illegally at
the instance of Benjamin Brown and Thomas
King who are controlling owners.
This is from the Loup City Times:
ga school marin in the west part of the county
inflicted a new punishment on one of her
pupils, Is year old lad, which did not prove
as severe for the pupil as she desired. He had
been throwing paper wads on the sly at the
teacher, who, upon discovering him, told him
to come and kiss her before the school. He
hesitated, and said he didn't want to, but the
cruel teacher under threats compelled him to
walk up like a lamb to the slaughter, but the
result was unlocked for; for, while every
scholar was looking on with intense interest,
the lad threw both arms around the teachers
neck and glued their lips together with
smack that echoed through the school room
like the report of rifle on the morning air,
and, as he released her, exclaimed, ''Gosh,
that's good!" All the big boys in Sherman
county will attend school this winter"

Lieutenant Greedy, the Attic voyager,
recently received letter from Captain How
for a loan of money. The letter came to
Greedy through the daughter of Captain How

piled through Howgate's daughter, saying he

he placed in private drawer of his office.
The bill recently prepared by repre-
sentatives of various state boards of health at
a conference in Washington, was considered
favorably by the house committee on public
health. IL was the opinion of the members
that it would be impossible to pass the bill as
it now stands at present. The measure in
wolves the question of state rights, and this,
it is thought, would occasion a continued de-
bate.
The committee on federal legislation
appointed by the national conference of state
boards of health has completed bill which
embodies the views of the conference as to the

CLEVELAND'S CABINET.
Nobody Knows that He Has Made Any
Final Selections.

In an interview at Chicago ex-senator
Barnum said he had no personal knowledge,
neither had the democratic leaders, that Cleve-
land had taken any steps toward the final
selection of his cabinet. He said there was no
doubt that Bayard would have a place if he
would accept, and added that Cleveland had
not yet promulgated his policy and did no
think there would be any immediate sweep of
the force Of government employees, but the re-
publicans would not be kept longer than they
are Indispensable. There is no good reason to
think, though Cleveland has come to
no decision regarding his cabinet, he will
choose those who will give the most satisfac
ton to the country. He has no ambition to be
reelected and depends upon his cabinet for in
formation but for no decision, as he is thor
Oughly able to decide any question, no matter
hoy nitric te.
Barnum did not see the necessity of making
the inauguration elaborate, and it will only be
SO to the extent of the peoples demonstration.
As far as the national committee is concerned,
it will be very simple. Barnum denies the re-
port that himself and Senator Gorham do not
get along amicaby and says they have per-
feet understanding, Notwithstanding news
papers tried to make out jealousy existed be-
tween them.

HORTICULTURE HIsToRY.-A valuable and
complete history of horticulture in Nebraska,
says the Lincoln Journal, is being written and
compiled by order of the state society. This
will give the proceedings of the society from
its organization in 1869 to the present time;
will show the dates of the earliest planting of
fruit and forest trees and the great advance
ment of these very important interests which
indicate the progress of the state, the assur-
ance of rapid advancement in the future. The
prophesies made by the earnest few sixteen
years ago, are more than fulfilled, in orchards
laden with the finest fruit and great and in
creasing forest growth. There is no man in
the state who has given more attention to
these interests and no one more capable Of
making up this complete history than Mr.. J.
T. Allan, who is having the work done up to
1882. 1t fills over four hundred pages of
large volume. He acknowledges his Indebted
ness for some material he has obtained from
the files of prominent newspapers of the early
days. The reports of 1882, 1888 and 1884 will
be published as soon as the means to pay the
printing is appropriated by the legislature.
