The New York Herald calculation

THE New York Herdld's calculation
gives Cleveland and Hendricks go
OF the electoral votes to III for Mr..
Blaine. This is very modest esti-
mate, and those OF our readers who
have long memories will probably re-
call the fact this was our own csti-
mate to a dot some weeks ago. Our
Republican friends are making super
human efforts TO delude themselves
into the hope that they will carry
New York, New Jersey and Indiana,
but the effort is blank failure. The
truth is they know that Cleveland
aud Hendricks viii carry their own
States and that thus without any other
electoral votes except those Of the
Solid South they will be elected, and
with four 10 spare Our Republican
friends are engaged very diligently just
now in whistling to keep their courage
up but the attempt is languid and the
result is simply pitiable.

THE address of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention following the Ohio
election is an eloquent and pregnant
document. One OF the matters dwelt
upon in it is one OF great national con-
Germ. No thoughtful man, no matter
to what party he belongs, can witness
without grave misgivings the employ
ment OF large sums OF money to de-
bauch the voter. The presence of
men like Dudley, fresh from the De-
partments at Washington, is another
offensive and dangerous modern in
novation. What Indignation there
would have been thirty years ago at
the mere suggestion OF man aban-
doning his position as the head OF
the Pension Bureau of the Uni
ted States to HE him to a State in
which a critical election was to take
place in order to personally superin-
tend the operations of a crowd OF po-
litical connubiators, strikers and re-
peaters, who had been imported into
it to confuse the voice of the people
Quite as malign and ominous as any
thing else is the multiplication OF

We have occasionally been tempt
cd TO find fault with our esteemed
contemporary, the Los Angeles Times.
In the past, however, we have never
doubted its Republicanism, although,
for long time, that journal OVERLAND
its Republicansm with strong plas-
ter OF Paris stucco of total abstinence.
The Times OF yesterday, however, was
revelation to us. We had supposed
that our steamed contemporary,
to employ the phrase it has so con-
stantly plagiarized from Don Piatt-
and it might have been pretty highly
steamed" in the issue in question
was really devoted to the cause OF the
magnetic man from Maine. We had
hoped, besides, that there could be,
in the heat OF Il great National cam
paign, some earnestness and di-
rectness in the utterances OF
journal which OF late has
assumed to be the Cofypheus OF
the Republican party in Southern
California Judge OF our surprise,
therefore, when We encountered the
following "pomc" in its editorial
columns:

it incumbent upon themselves TO mi
tate this new and unusual departure,

Afraid to come out like a square

OF his party, it will be perceived that
the editor of the Times has resorted To
the peculiar and insidious agency OF
an acrostic to get in his deadly work.
The intelligent man, by casting his
eye down the capitals OF the opening

that the editor OF the Times really adj
vises his readers to vote for Cleveland
and declares that the stilted phrases
in which he apotheosizes Blaine are
bosh. 1t is pretty rough that the
editor Of the putative leading Repub-
lican newspaper of this section should
thus stab his candidate in the back.

claim, "Save me from nv friends. ="

What Must be Done

A young man in Spartenburg, S. O.,
who is ambitious to serve in the State
Legislature, has written q two-column
article for local paper, in which he
sets forth his "views" in this fashion {:
''These moneyed powers must be check
mated and curbed, 'or else the fiery
horse of superb individual splendor will
disarm the weary charger and mount
ttriumphantly the hilltops of expressing
aud feudal Capitalization, while we can
but stand in the valley below and pray
God to abate the coming storm, and,
holding to the delusive phantom of
vain hope, resort to capricious change
to hold back the resistless avalanche of
damnable and headlong discrimination
Now, Mr.. Editor, I have said enough to
demonstrate beyond all speculative
doubts that we can make this q grand
cid State, if we will but give all legiti-
mate inducements to factories and curb
the bits Of the iron horse Of extortion. "

Real Live Yankees Abroad.

Rossfclt Letter in the Baltimore Sun.
The Germans here and everywhere |
have yet been are evidently very fond of
Americans. They brighten up when
ever America is mentioned and at the in
terror hotels of Southern Germany they
say at first to us; "En3lish?' No."
we say American each ia: sehr gut,
America sehr schon," and they trot out
speak little English and they want to
hear about America. [ suppose we
could load a vessel with all the different
ones who have asked us if we didn't
want some one $50 willing" to work for
us in America. The city of Heidelberg
is so delightful we hated to leave it. We
met an American gentleman there whose
son is student at the university. He
said he had known eighteen American
girls who had married German barons
or counts and all were now divorced or
separated but three.
Where we are now, at Rossfelt, the
people have seldom man: of them new
er, seen an American. Willie we were
on the Burgeberg mountain, at the
house Of the jaeger master, some of the
foresters came in and stared ut us with
great interest. One ofthcm said it was
so strange to see real born American!
They sang song for us and drank our
healths and the health of America; and
one who was quite good looking asked
leave to shake hands-"1t woullbc such
an honor" The honor was gracefully
accorded. We solcmnly shook hands,
and we trust that the friendship between
America and the wild jagcr* of tho
Black Forest is eternally cemeuted.

No Improvement In Trade.

B1adstreets Journal of last Saturday, in its
commercial summary for the week, will say:
The Geographic advices to Bradstreet's this
week, although telling of slight advances at
some points fail to reveal any decided improve
ment in the general trade situation. The COOL
er weather has stimulated the demand for
heavy drygoods and clothing. The seaboard
cities send no news of special moment, save
that at Boston q belief appears to prevail in an
early improvement in the drygoods movement.
General trade at Boston is reported more satis-
factory i'll volume than in prices Going west,
Cleveland complains of the flat iron market,
while ST. Louis rates slight improvement in
iron. The San Francisco correspondent tells OF
quicker sales of drygoods, but sends no
other good word. At St. Paul wheat has
boon somewhat lowered in grade owing to in.
jury by rain The price at Fargo for No.
hard, is So CENTS and at Grand Forks 81 cents
The Minnesota farmers are persisting in their
refusal to SELL At some western points the
farmers are borrowing money where possible,
boarding their grain. The coal trade shows
no improvement, and iron is unchanged, save
as regards the better demand at St. Louis.
The iron men are awaiting developments in
the coal trade. The New York dry goods
market has been helped by the cooi weather:
Cotton continues neglected by spectators, and
spots and futures have had q further decline.
Dispatches to Bradstreets from Texas indi-
cate that the weather has continued too dry
over good part of the state. Trade in wool
has been less active, but there has been no
weakening of prices at any point.

Great Web ste RS Great Snake.

From ThOreaus Summer"
B. NJ. W tells me that he learns
from pretty good authority that Web
ster once saw the sea serpent. It
seems it was first seen in the bay be-
tween Manomet and Plymouth beach
by perfectly reliable witness (many
years ago., who was accustomed to look
out on the sea every morning the first
thing, as regular as he ate his break
fast One morning he saw this mon
ster, with q head something like
horses, raised some six feet above the
water, and his body the size OF a cask,
trailing behind. He was carcering
over the bay, chasing the mackercl,
which ran ashore in their fright, and
were washed up and died in great num-
bers.
The story is that Webster had APP
pointed to meet some Plymouth gentle
men at Manomet and spend the day
fishing with them. After the fishing
was over he set out to return to Dux-
bury in his sail boat with Peterson, as
he had come, and on the way they saw
the sea serpent, which answered to the
common account of this creature. It
passed directly across the bows only
six or seven rods off and then. disap-
peared. On the sail homeward, Web
ster: having had time to reflect on what
had occurred, at length said to Peter
son: "For God a sake, never say word
about this to any one; for if it should
be know that have seen the Sea SER
pent should never hear the last of it,
sea serpent wherever 1 went l should
have to tell the story to every one [
met" So it has not leaked out till
now. -

Condition of Crops in Foreign Countries

former years for large India exports, mainly
from lack of transportation facilities, The
careless cleaning Of the grain and the: mixing
of the various kinds, with the resulting de-

the price too low for active supply for expor-
tation. It is now proposed to increase India's
railway facilities, and the home government il
asked to assist in the extension.

General Wolse]ey of the British army,
has arrived in Egypt to take command
of the military expedition up the Nile
for the relief of Khartoum, and it has
been alleged that his Red river expe-
dition in 1870, when he subdued the
Winnipeg rebellion, gave him the ex.
perience necessary to success in Egypt.
General Wolseley's Red river expedition
consisted of four companies of British
regular soldiers, who were transported
10 Thunder Bay, at the head of Lake
Superior, in excellent steamboats,.
Their march from there to Winnipeg
vas along fertile country, with good
trails for part of the distance, and nav
gable lakes and easy portages for the
rest of the way. The march lasted but
twenty or twenty-five days; supplies
were easily carried; they met no resist:
ance; the entire hostile force against
which the expedition was directed con.
listed of but few hundred French and
Indian half-breeds under the command
of Louis Riel, mere boy in years, and
but little better than crank in other
respects; they all fed at the approach Of
the little British force. General Wolse-
ly has since distinguished himself upon
two occasions, where the difficulties to
be encountered were not very serious.
His present task is surrounded with
great obstacles, but there seems to be
but little doubt of his success among
his countrymen.

The Last Match.

Old soldiers who remember the picket
line and the rifle pit, and even the ex.
perienced picnicker, know we'll what it
is to be reduced to the last match. That
sole occupant of the pocket matoh-safe
is the last chance for fire, for o torch
in the thick darkness, for a savory meal
or dish of tea, for flash of light on a
watch face or compass. So, too, it
may be all that interposes between the
destruction and the deliverance ola lost
or shipwrecked band.
Few incidents CT the famous Greedy
expedition to the northern seas make so
vivid an expression upon the mind as
one recorded by Sergeant George B.
Rice, who did not live to return to his
home and friends. A sledge party was
detailed to visit and examine Halls
Rest, on the coast of Greenland. Ir
the course of this expedition the stock of
matches that the men had brought was
reduced to one. It was miserably
cold evening, when the shivering group
of men gathered in their damp tent to
watch the attempt to ignite, by this
single match, the spirit lamp upon
which their lives depended. The lamp
once lighted, there was warmth and
warm food at their command; the lamp
unlighted, there was not vital force left
in the party to resist the fatal chill of
the Arctic night. With what breathless
interest the experiment was watched,
we can scarcely imagine.
"The MATCH" wrote Sergeant Rice in
1,;o 1ior1 Ho,o, oI1o1 opa
showed little fame which by dexter
GUS management was communicated to
the wood and triumphantly applied to
the wick of the spirit-lamp. But, the
wick is wet from the falling moisture
of the tentl It sputters-f zzles-the
match itself is burned up to the be-
numbed fingers of the holder when one
of the agonized spectators springs from
his bag and, with admirable presence
of mind, withdraws from his breast
pocket document, which he holds to
the expiring match in time to perpetu-
ate its fire. They are saved!"
But this is not all the story. The
sergeant intimates that the "document"
which saved their lives was something
farmore precious than anything docu-
mentary. It was't the last fond and ten
der epistle which it's owner had received
from his sweetheart before sailing. He
had worn it in an amulet next his heart,
and would have died rather than sur
rended it at any ordinary call. To save
his comrades he drew it forth, and gave
it to nourish the fame which alone
could warm them back to life.
Sergeant Rice concludes the days
entry by expressing the wish that the
burning of the letter to assist the match
made on earth may conduce to the con.
summation of "the match made in
heaven" Who will not lament that the
worthy and witty soldier did not sur
vive to witness the realization of his
desire?

Reports of failures are still numerous,
and some of them of great magnitude,
but the general outlook is by no means
discouraging. In nearly every promi-
nent case, liabilities are so far in excess
Of assets, as to cause wonder why a
failure did not sooner occur. A failure
sooner or later, was inevitable. The
craze for doing a large business on
small capital, and dependence on IN
limited credit-which is apt to fail at
just the time when most wanted-is at
the bottom of nearly all the most dis
astrous reverses. Those who conduct
business in a more careful way are not
those who are complaining loudest of the
times. They are comparatively pros
porous, even in seasons when others go
to the wall.
