TALMuD1c PRovERB.- There are in
many languages proverbs relating to the
sad fact that it is not always the laborer
that reaps the fruits of his work. This is
often enough the case with literary re-
search. One man does the work, but an
other steps in at the last moment and ap-
propriates its most precious results. "I
labor" runs the Talmudic proverb, "and
thou fndest the pearl" = Notes and
Queries.

NEW York. November 7th.-The Repub-

lowing:
IL view of the claims made as to the result of
the election in New York, the Republican State
Committee deem it their duty to announce that
while the vote is very close, the returns and es-
Inmates from the most authentic Sources justify
the belief that the people of this State have cast
n plurality in favor of the Republican candi-
returns as filed in the several County Clerks
offices, in all except eleven counties. Besides
this. we have caused careful examinations TO be
made of the returns forwarded to the police
headquarters i'll New York and Kings county.
From the remaining nine counties we have pro-
cured direct information from the most reliable
sources, and feel justified in assertia~ with en-
tire confidence that the State has e. ,.epubli-
can. The result thus arrived at Is med by
ali entirely different investigation, i upon
the returns collected directly from ~ elec-

"What shall it profit" croakers ask,
eff we raise large crops and sell at low
prices?" Even the very men who ought
to knew better than anybody else how
large crops promote the general property,
the farmers themselves, are often heard
complaining because their labors have
been too productive.
Here are two crops for instance: 500,
900, 600 bushels of wheat this year, and
/, 800, 000,00 bushels of corn. Are they
a curse to the farmer or blessing L?
Prices are very low, but even at these al,
most unprecedented prices the two crops
would be worth about $1,000, 900, 900
for corn and 1920, 900, 900 for wheat. To-
gether they would more than pay the
National debt-$1, 437, 900, 900; and these
are only two of the many crops raised
this year. Is this a melancholy state of
facts? Last year, September 10, prices
at New York were 81 148 for No. 2
Red Winter wheat, and GO for No. 2 corn,
and yet the aggregate value of that year,
if sold at those prices, was about $685.
600, 600 less than the value of this years
crop, even at present prices. But every
body ought to know that this is not fair
test.
The farmer himself eats a great deal of
his wheat, even when prices are high.
Why? Because it is worth more to him,
as nOurishment and comfort for himself
and family, than it is worth to sell. Is it
a misfortune, then, for him to have more
wheat to eat? Remember that he plOughs
and seeds as many acres for good as for
bad crop; hires as much labor, spends
as much of his own energy, and bears as
heavy outlay. Is l. q oarse to the
farmer to have more return for the same
expenditure and labor?
The farmer knows that it pays better
to put corn into hogs or cattle than to sell
it below a certain price. Why? Be-
cause meat still commands high price;
the effects of the partial failure of crops
in 1881 are still felt by consumers. Be
cause the cattle or the hogs can be kept
until there is market for them, and if
there is too much corn to be sold at go
cents, there will not be too much beef or
pork, Of the crop of 1882 we consumed
for human food $50 million bushels, used
$50 million to feed working ami
mails, exported or used for seed
or for spirits 1871 Million and turned
780 million bushels into cattle and
hogs. Is it a curse to the country or the
farmer that we have nearly 200 million
bushels more this year to turn into meat,
or to feed our people at lower cost?
The people of this country are able to
live better and to consume more food
than those of any other country because
we have enormously productive farms.
That the farmers do not greatly suf-
fer either, is sufficiently proved by
the rapid increase in the number OF
farms. 1t is not altogether the worst
country in the world to live in, as the
emigrants know.

An old trotter named Bradshaw is now
owned by an ash hauler ofAllegheny City,
Pa, who bought him in Kentucky for 500
after he had been turned out to die. A
few days ago he was taken to the racing
track at the -Four Mile House. While
being hitched to the sulky he seemed
once again to feel the excitement of a
crowded and closely contested race. His
head was thrown up and his nostrils dis
tended, the dull glaze disappeared from
his eyes and he paved the earth with the
same fire that swayed him when he was
backed to win. After being warmed up
he was started and went under the wire
for mile dash. He settled down to the
work and made but one short break. He
worked hard and came in in 2:30. When
hitched into the old ash wagon again it
seemed to break his heart, and he has not
since been able. apparently, to do the
rough work that is his lot.

Solid, az Usual.

AFTER a careful canvass Of this
State we find, as is always the case in
every section of it, that the colored
vote is almost unit for the State
and National ticket. In some of The
counties there is a difference of opin-
ion existing regarding the candidates
on the regular ticket, and it is rather
more 70 their credit than their dis
credit that colored voters are using
some intelligent discrimination as to
the selection Of local officers. In the
Seventh Legislative Distric. Ct Phila-
delphia there are many colored men
who are supporting independent can
didates for the Legislature, but in few
sections of the State are there to be
found any in support of the Demo
cratic National ticket At this crisis
it not only shows their good judg-
ment, but illustrates fully that the
Republican party has in the colored
voter its strongest adterents Dis
affection among them is almost un-
known, and while every other class
Of American citizens charge and are
estimated as uncertain, these faithful
representatives and true supporters of
Republicanlsm stand fast and immov-
able. We invite now, as we have
often done before, the attention of
the leaders Of the party to the faith
fuInegs of the colored voters. We
ask them to bear in mind that not
withstarding the fact that in this
State, as in many other Northern
States, we have been absolutely ig-
nored and denied representation CT a
voice in the selection of the candidates
upon the National and State tickets;
that we arc supporting, almost undi,.
WIDELY, the Republican ticket, and
we trust that in the future a place of
honor will always be given the men
who fight SO earnestly and faithfully
for the perpetuation of Republican
control. Go get out the vote.
