An Example for the Independents.

The defeated Republican candl-
date for Vice-President shows the
same manliness in misfortune as has
been shown by his chief.
He does not profess to like defeat,
but he does not propose to be crushed
by it.
In conversation With Tribune re-
porter the other day, Gen. Logan
said he felt like the man who stubbed
his the and sat down on stump to
nurse it. "His neighbor came along
and asked: 'Hurts pretty bad, don't
it?" YES replied the man, as he
Rugged the toe UP closer in his
hands, 'and the worst of it is I'm too
big to cry, and it hurts too bad for
me to laugh"
We commend the example of this
man to the Independent Republicans
who are demanding Cabinet APP
pointment as a reward for supporting
Mr.. Cleveland.
If they should not get it, we hope
they will remember that they are too
big to cry.

ception of Frederick Douglass, says
Blaine's charges of intimidation at
the polls in the southern states care
absolute and unqualified falsehOods."
That the greatest harmony exists in
the south between the white and col
ored races; that the Augusta speech
was demagogical in the extreme and
wholly unwarranted, and will be the
cause of great uneasiness and mental
distress among the colored people OF
the SOUTH" and finally, that the
speech has ''fomented a new antagon-
ism and lowered Mr.. Blaine more IN
popular esteem than any other act
of his life" Thus the Maine man is
rebuked by the very men for whom
he proposed to create an improper
and wholly mistaken sympathy. The
speech is condemned by all classes,
and will make it impossible for its
its author to be conspicuous hereaf-
ter on any political platform.

Clear Case of Fraud.

Several republicans were discus

the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York:
''There was fraud in the New York
election" said one of the group.
A seedy-loOking man rubbed his
nose on his tattered coat sleeve, and
said:
Fright you are. 1t can be proved
by me that money was used to cor

the money just to try him, and after

yet.
"What was the name of the dem
ocrat who tried to corrupt you?"
asked one of the republicans.

Cleveland in Albany.

A little year old miss approached
Governor Cleveland the other day
and exclaimed: 'Nr. President, ]
congratulate you" "What can dc
for you, miss?" asked the governor
as he smiled upon her.
The miss pulled out an autograph
book and replied: "Sign your name
in it, please, that's all want" The
governor did so and as she rose he
looked as if he wished that would be
all he might be asked to do for visi-
tors for the next four years.
81 am a republican and Ivoted for
you," said a gentleman from Column
bia county, "and l am still a repub-
lican."
"Well," reflected the governor, you

temporary purposes.

A representative of the World,
learning that sister of President
elect Cleveland was residing in To

morning. She is Mrs. Bacon, the

SCHEME THROUGH KANSAS Is M
PRACTICABLE-THE LATE CATTLE
DISEASE NOT ERGOTIsM.
Governor Click, who is a short
horn cattle.breeder as well as chief
executive of Kansas, In an interview
with a reporter of the Globe-Demo-
crat on the action.of the cattlemen's
convention recently held in this city,
stated that the scheme for great
cattle trail from the Red river to the
north boundary of the country as
marked out by the convention is
impracticable. He said to be of val
ue the trail must be 100 miles wide
instead of six as asked for. Besides,
he alleged, they have no right to
trail through Kansas or any other
state. They now have trail through
the western part Of Kansas, but
the law establishing it will be re-
pealed by the Legislature this winter.
He also stated that Kansas lost half
a million of dollars by Texas fever
but hereafter there will be strict
quarantine against Texas cattle, es-
tablished and ruled by law instead
of mere proclamation. He dis
claimed that there was any ill-feel-
ing in Kansas against Texas, but as
serted that self-preservation demand
ed that they should protect them
selves. He opposed leasing public
lands to ranchmen, and favored the
encouragement of small stock grow
ers as being in the best interest of
the country. He thought the vetri-
nary service of the United States as
now organized, a humbug; that it
be improved by the employment of
the best veterinarians in the country,
and expressed the belief that the di-
sease in Kansas last spring pro
nounced by DIR. Salmon to be ergo
tism was veritable foot and mouth
disease.

A Night of Agony,
from the Manchester Times. ]

The following "true tale wac recently
told by the mayor of Stratford- on-Avon
when delivering lecture on Forest and
historic trees" Some years ago gentle
man, mounted on horse, set ont in order
to cross the Dartmoor. Though the thaw
had commenced, yot 1t had not melted
the snow-heaps, and our traveller got on
but slowly, aud toward evening it froze
again. The shades Of evening came on
with vapor and mist To reach Tavistock
that night he knew would be impossible
as fresh snow storm began to fall. To
stay out all night would be certain death.
Il was therefore, with no small satisfac
ton thBt he saw at distance n cottage,
partially covered with snow, and it was
not long before he reached it, He dis
mounted, and the door was opened by an
old woman He entered and saw sturdy
peasant, the woman's son, who sat smok-
ing his pipe beside blazing peat fire.
The strangers wants were soon made
known an old clubhouse accommodated
his horse, and the son gave up his bed,
adding that he would sleep in the old set
tie by the chimney corner. After supper
he was shown to his room, where there
was large oak chest, very old and curl
upon it to the old woman, who had light
cd him up stairs, and he could not help
observing something shy and odd about
her manner. After she had gone, he felt
inclined to peep into the chest, but he
forbore, and went to bed. He felt cold
and miserable, and could not sleep. The

there it lay in the silvery silence OF the
moonlight; his fears gave action to the
the lid Of the chest began to move.
Starting from his bed he grnsped the lid
and raised it up. Imagine his feelings OF
horror when he bcheld human corpse,
stiff and cold.
One thought during the rest of the
night possessed him-that he was in the
house of murderers There WAS no es-
cape. He thanked God when morning
came. On coming down stairs he found
the old woman and her son preparing
breakfast. They hoped "his honor" had
passed good night, and bade him eat
his breakfast, consisting of broiled bacon,

his breakfast and recovered his fright,
and just ns the old woman was broiling

courage to disclose the secret of the oak

There was nothing mean in his looks,
but Mt the same time he had no business
in the ladies' cabin of the ferry boat.
She had scarcely left Windsor when he
sat down within two feet Of n woman
about 40 years old, and whispered:
"There's going to be some fun when
we land in Detroit"
"Sir ~ she replied as she drew away a
little.
"Oh, you Just get ready for it y he
chuckled; you'll see woman get the
worst setback you ever heard tell of -
What do you mean ?" she asked with
sudden interest
"See that girl over there ?"
She did. Indeed, as the girl WAS the
third and only other passenger in the
cabin, she couldn't help but see her.
"That girl is smuggling five yards OF
dress goods y whispered the man.

"Saw her buy it in Canada"
'And would you be mean enough to
tell the customs officers p
Don't have to They have instruc-
tions this morning to search every pas
senger. That's the reason didn't bring
over a new overcoat."
He got up and slid out with that, leav-
ing the two females alone. When the
boat landed, the girl walked off rs calmly
as clam, but the woman looked pale and
frustrated and mad.
Lets make tour!" chuckled the
mean man, us he beckoned the customs
officer aboard.
"Of what?"
"Of the cabin"
They entered the place, and under the
seat in the far corner they discovered q
bundle containing two pairs of stockings,
n pair of gloves, three yards of silk and
yard or two of plush.
"By George !" said the customs man.

Queen; "Now, ladies and gentlemen,
me tink it right to say dat it time to go
home - Some Of us may feel tempted
to wish that such plain speaking was not
altogether out of the question in New
York drawing g-rooms, for nothing makes a
hostess and her guest more uncomforta-
BILE than the evident inability Of some
visitor to get away when he or she has
paid a sufficiently long call.
