HUNGARY.
ITS Past and Present Position in COnnec
aon with the Austrian Empire.

Migaukee Sentinel
Perhaps tho most interesting feature in the
history of Austria centers in tho conflict be-
tween its rulers on the side Of despotism and
Hungary for constitutional rule. For long
time the Hungarians were the scourge OF
Europe, so that the Catholic Church added to
its litany the sentence, Lord, preserve us
from the Hungarans." In the tenth CEN
fury they wcre defeated and confined to heir
own territory, tho present Hungary, and
there they developed q system of mu-
nicipal Independence which has outlasted the
storms of nearly 1000 years, and which
finally secured to them almost national in
dependence. From Andrew III, ono of their
kings, they wrested in 1222 their famous
magma charter, or golden BULL the foundation
of their constitution. The rulers of the house
of Hapsburg were opposed to constitutional
rule, and hence the relations between these
rulers and the people were seldom amicablc
Even Maria Theresa, who owed so much to
the Hungarians, and who ruled with SO much
mldness and wisdom, was often unobservant
of their cherished constitution. But the
great contest of tho Hungarians and Haps-
burg rulers was reserved for this century.
Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, was the
leader in this movement. After the defeat
of tho revolutionary party, led by kossuth,
revenge was commenced on the part of the
victors The Hungarians were doomed to
suffer severe indignities; many Of the leaders
were executed, and rich estates were con-
fiscated. This state of affairs, however, ended
with Austria's defeat in Italy, 1859; Austria
became frightened, and made great conces-
siOns to Hungary. At the time of the war
between Austria and Prussia affairs had not
been fully settled. After the battle of Sa-
dowa Austria was prepared to make almost
any compromise with Hungary. The result
is the present dualistic form Of government
of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy. Hun
gary at present governs herself, has her sep
arate parliament and officers, and is inde-
pendent of Austria except that the two coun-
tries have common army, navy, and king.

The senate committee on naval affairs were
again in consultation yesterday with Secre-
tary Chandler and some of the members of
the naval advisory board in respect to the
bill providing for the construction of steel
cruisers. The consideration of this measure
in committee is likely TO extend two or
three weeks longer. 1t has been determined
to ask for the opinions of naval officers and
others not on tho advisory board.

STRANGER THAN FICTION,

Richard Bracken, President Cf the
Wolf Tone Branch of the United Irshmen
in Philadelphia, has fallen heir to for
tune of $1,000, 600. Bracken has re.
ceived letter stating that his uncle,
Richard O'Keefe, had recently died, be-
queathing his entire estate, including
sugar plantations, to him. As Bracken
had not heard from his uncle for two
years, the news was a great surprise
When seen at his house, last night, Mr..
Bracken repeated the romantic story of
his own imprisonment for nine months as
a suspect in Dublin Jail. He then de-
tailed the flight of his uncle, O'Keefe,
from Ireland after the troubles of 1S48.
He escaped in brig to Barcelona, and,
after waiting for assistance from home,
proceeded to Brazil, landing at Bahia.
de finally settled in Pernambuco. From
that time until 1878 all traces Of the
wandering exile were lost. In 1878 in
quiries We're made for Richard Bracken 10
Philadelphia, ard he began correspon-
dence with his uncle, which was contin
ued until October, 1882. These letters
disclose the fact that on reaching Bahia.
O'keete went to the gold district, where
for two years he did poorly, but specnIa-
tions favored him so that at the end OF
fifteen years he found himself wealthy
man, and consequently abandoned the
gold mines and went to Pernambuco,
where he settled down and married the
only daughter OF a rich sugar planter.
This planter died in 1876, leaving the
management of the whole property 10
the hands Of O'Keefe, under whom its
financial returns were greatly increased
In 1880 his wife and only child were
carried off by yellow fever, and OKeefe
wrote to Bracken regretting his lonely
condition and offering inducements tc
him to 60 10 Pernambuco. But Bracken
had just been married, and had no idea
then of leaving his bride for the uncer
tainties of South America,

ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE,

The total number OF votes for Presi-
dent at the late election was little over
100000 and OF these neither Cleve-
land nor Blaine received the majority
the vote of each falling below one half of
the whole. Cleveland, however, obtain =
ed plurality over Blaine of something
short of 70, 200 votes, and in the electoral
college he had 2l9 votes against 1S5 for
Blaine.
The recorded vote for Butler was about
134, 900, but that does not represent his
whole support at the polls, for there was a
fusion OF the Peoples party with the
Republicans in Missouri and West Vir-
giDia, and with the Democrats in Iowa,
Michigan, and Nebraska 1t must have
been partly, if not chiefly, in consequence
of such fusion that Blaine's vote in Mis-
souri, and West Virginia showed an in
crease over that for Garfield Of 66,132,
while Cleveland'S Sincrease over Hancock
was only 81, ,319. In the three States
where the Peoples party fused with the
Democrats, Cleveland showed a gain over
Hancock of 155, ,036, while Blaine's gain
over Carried was only 42,3S1. In none
Of these States, however, was the fusion
successful, for all gave their electoral
votes to the Democrats and Republicans,
as they gave them in 1880, at which
election Weaver, the Greenback candi-
date, polled considerable vote in all.
We find that Cleveland had majority
of the votes in no Northern State, though
in Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey,
and New York he had a plurality over
Blaine aggregating little over $4,000,
the total vote ofthose States was 1000, 305
of which Cleveland received 1,003,079;
Blaine, 9S9,840; ST. John, 36,494, and
Butler, 30,902. Cleveland carried every
Southern State by majority over all
Blame bad majority over all in the
sixteen Northern States of California,
Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin,
and plurality only in the States of
Massachusetts and Michigan.
In the Northern States taken together
Blaine had over 100000 votes more than
Cleveland. The Butler vote saved Mass
achusetts for Blaine, and the St. John
vote lost him Connecticut, New York,
and New Jersey, and through fusion
came near beating him in Michigan.
The ereturns show, finally, that the coun
try continues to be so evenly divided be-
tween the two great parties that slight
AID merely local and temporary causes
may determine the result of a contest
between them at an election for Presi-
dept.-Ncw York .Sun.

sGOING TO SEE CLEVELAND

Colonel Villas, Of Wisconsin, depicts an
atmosphere Of sweet content and bland
serenity as having descended upon the
great Northwest since the election OF
Cleveland, and attributes it to the fact
that no Republicans expect anything of
Cleveland, and no Democrats desire any
thing. A hard shell clam at high,water
mark is therefore very inadequate i'm
personation Of bliss to which to compare
the perfect political peace which reigns in
allsthe territory dedicated to freedom by
the Hon. Nathan Danes ordinance OF
1889.
We concur scheerfully in SO much OF
Professor Villas diagnosis as suggests
that Republicans expect nothing of Cleve-
land. His silver tongue has seldom rung
clearer note Of truth, Republicans are
compelled to concede, not without a
blush Of conscious shame THAT they expect
to remain subjects of the funny realm
that has INDUCED in the facetious extrav-
agance of electing Cleveland King.
They expect to look on good Daturedly
while the balance of the Democratic
farce deYelopes, provided, always, it con-
tinues to be farce and does not take on
the character Of tragedy.
But when the natty and cannv and
highly rhetorical Professor Villas who
may in some respects be styled the En-
cry A. Storrs of the Democratic party,
except that Storrs has keen perception
of the absurd, while Villas holds it in
the most religious reverence-says that
Democrats desire nothing, We are too
astounded to even guess at his meaning.
We had supposed that Democracy was
itself an organized desire, sort of chasm
of appetite, a yawning abyss of hunger
and thirst, into which all things might
fall without striking bottom.
We are glad to know, however, that
Mr.. Villas called upon Cleveland. If u
man is going to be President of the
United States somebody ought to call
upon him. The outward semblances of
respect ought not to be omitted. Some
body also ought to know him. When a
man has bought pig in a sack he should
find out what it is like.
Villas is a knowing man, and he doubt
less determined that it is time somebody
from the great Northwest should find

IMPROVING BREEDS OF FOWLs.-Near.
ly all the ordinary breeds of American
poultry existing in this country a quarter
of century ago have been wondrously
improved" in shape, size, weight for
age, coEneliness. thriftiness and in egg
producing capacity within that period,
and this alone through the manipulation
and care exercised in crossing the stock
with the new or modern importations by
our farmers, poulterers and American
fancers. Somuch for the value of the
fancier's labors, The laying qualities Of
our barnyard fowls, crossed with these
breeds within the past score of years, have
been eminently improved. The average
size of the present "dunghill' birds in
any farmers yard in the country, east,
west or south, shows how this point has
been effected. These naturally" indif-
fsrent layers hitherto have como to be
largely improved, too, in this respect.
And wherever we turn, or whatever por-
ton of the country we visit, we find the
stamp of the imported fancy fowls
grated upon all formerly insignificant
stock.

now in Washington says that the number

population. He says that nearly every

land procession has had his picture taken
in his campaign uniform with some in

the back such as This man lost his voice

VALUE OF THE FORESTS. The magni-
tude of the forestry products of the Unit
ed States is shown by recent statistics.
These demonstrate that Notwithstanding
the enormous value sof the corn crop, it
is slightly exceeded by the annual forest
products The following figures show
the value OF the principal products of the
country in their regular order for the year
1888: Forestry, $760,000,000; corn,
$679, 9,714, ,499; wheat, $474, 291, $50; hay,
1871, 81, ,084: cotton, $3.50, 266, ,424; oats,
$50, 243, ,565; gold and silver, $74, 40O,-
900; coal, anthracite and bituminous,
S64, 100000; iron ore, $40, ,470, 600; and
total other mineral products, $218, 1885,
452, By far the largest portion Of the
forestry products is used as lumber AS
lumber it is used for building material,
fencing and innumerable manufactures;
and it also enters into the industries OF the
people in many forms. 1t appeared by
tie last census that the value Of the wood
used annually i'll cooperage was $33, TIA,
ITO. Several million dollars worth are
annually consumed in the manufacture
of baskets. The chief of the forestry
division of the agricultural bureau states
that 2, $685. cords of bark were used in
tanning il 1880, at an average cost Of Sc
per cord, which would bring the aggre-
gate value of bark up to ST., ,455, ,252.
This does not include the value of trees
cut for bark and left to decay. The
lucifer matches consumed in the United
States required wood. to the value annu-
ally of So, ,29S, 562.
