THE CONTRAST.

The public must have noted the
difference in tie tone and temper OF
the two parties respecting the result
in New York. The republicans sim
ply demand a fair and open count
and the correction of any frauds
which may appear. If, when this is
done, Grover Cleveland has one plu-
rality, the republicans will submit
without murmur. They make no
threats. On the contrary, they dis
countenance everything that may
tend to create alarm or anxiety. The
democratic leaders have adopted the
opposite course. They have assumed
the election of their candidate before
an official return has been seen. They
declare that If their candidate is not
counted in there will be trouble. AL
ready battalions have announced to

The inhabitants of this city, and
probably of all other great cities in
the United States, have passed through
a week of excitement such as was
never known before except in time
of actual war. Monday was calm.
Tuesday was the day of election, and
the quietness with which it passed
off was such as to make one proud of

buttons, as well as grateful to Him

THE ELECTION.

The absolute result, as to plurality
in New York, on which depends the
election has not yet been reached.
but the indications are that the claim
ed plurality of twelve hundred strong
for the democratic candidate
will not be overcome, though the
changes have been slightly in favor
of the republican ticket. We do not
expect that Blaine wins, but there is
still possibility that his increase in
the other uncounted votes of the cit
les of Brooklyn and New York will
give him plurality. The election
has been remarkably, painfully close.
The two candidates have within one
of the same number of electoral
votes outside the great state of New
York, and almost exactly the same
votes in the state where the aggre-
gate vote is almost 100000. A
few unfortunate circumstances, APP
parently of little account, lost the
election to the republicans, so close
was the contest. If Mr.. Blame had
won there would have been great
cause for rejoicing on the republican
side. There is a heavy gain in con-
gressmen, some gain of senators and
magnificent republican pluralities il
many states north of the old domain:
of slavery, which was not effected by
the temperance issue. If the democ
racy rules it will have opportunity t.
show whether its great claim for pu
rity, wisdom and virtue is true on
or not. If it fails the republican
will have good right to demand 6:

A distinguished New York Demo

A distinguished New York Demo-
crat writes Mr.. Blaine with whom
he has been on terms Of friendship
for many years., complaining of the
course of the Republican Committee,
and expressing the hope that Mr..
Blaine himself is making no attempt
to influence the count of votes in
New York. Mr.. Blaine replied by
asking in what possible manner he
could influence it, directly or indi-
rectly, and then takes occasion to
add the following:
SIN the whole controversy have
had no desire only for fair count
and an honest declaration of the re-
suit. | have seen no other request
made by the National Committee,
nor by any of its members. They
have acted on their judgment at ev-
cry step and need no advice from me.
/ do not wish any political supporter
of mine in New York to take the
slightest advantage of mere technical
defects in any returns where the hon
est intention of the voter is express
ed. l would far rather lose than
gain by the exclusion of returns on
mere technical grounds. The Presi-
dency is not desirable if there is to
be the remotest faint on the title. A
promotion of that kind no more leads
to honor than the possession of forg
ed paper leads to wealth"

wont of this people to observe day APP
pointed for that purpose by the president
as an special occasion Cor thanksgiving
unto God. Now, therefore, in recogni-
ton of the hallowed custom, I, Chester A.
Arthur, president of the United States,

ommend that throughout the land the peo-
pie, ceasing from their accustomed occu-
pations, do then keep holiday at their
several places of worship, and with heart
and voice pay reverent acknowledgement
to the Giver of all Good for the countless
blessings wherewith he has visited this
nation. In witness whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed. Done in
the city of Washington, this the seventh
day of November, in the year of our Lord

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

A clerk in the drug store of F. w.
Meek & Co., at Mount Bridges, Ontario,
Canada, who gave strychnine instead of
santonine, which mistake caused the
death of two little girls, has been found
guilty of man slaughter.
The firing of national salute in honor
of the political victory was about con-
Guided at Richmond, Virginia, on the Sth
inst, when the caisson of the cannon ex-
ploded, injuring about dozen persons,
including about eight little boys.
In the Russian town of Sysran there is
now living man whose age is 127, a
fact of which there is said to exist indu-
bitable proof. He was wounded in the
battle of Borodino and afterward entered
Paris with the allied army. He is sup
ported by charity.
Prohibition is reported to be making
| good progress in the Dominion of Cana
da. Several additional counties have
adopted the Scott Act. There have been
fifty-three contests in counties and cities
since the act was passed about fonl
| years ago, of which forty-four were sue
cessful, and a large number of counties
are preparing to vote on it. This act
prohibits the liquor traffic in any comfy
or city that adopts it. But another vote
may be had if demanded after three years
trial. Two such votes have oeen taken

There has also been much CON-
ment as to how business interests of
the city would be effected by the
change. 1t is conceded by those who
are supposed to know that temporary
depression is inevitable, but the fact
is recognized that there will be just
as many Office holders under one
president as under another, and that
they will draw the same salaries,
which will be spent for the same nee
essaries of life. The customers will
change, but the custom will be very
much the same. Many families will
retrench their expenses between now
and the fourth of March, and credits
will be given less literally, perhaps,
but it is thought matters will adjust
themselves quickly to the new out
look, and business men do not antic-
ipate any long lived trouble from the
change.
Congress which meets in two weeks
will not have to begin with the work
of organization, to which month of
the first term was devoted, but little
legislation will be attempted at this
session. Appropriation bills only on
account of their necessity will be
passed. There will be the excite
ment of the election count, an i'm
mense accumulation of unfinished
business coming over from last sum-
mer. Members coming fresh from
the distracting circumstances of re-
election or defeat will find it difficult
to settle down to real work, and the
usual rush of term preceding the
Inauguration of new president may
be expected, a hurrying to get off
with the old and ON with the new.

The exceptional success of the Christ

year has led the editor and publishers to
attempt this year to disappoint the public
agreeably by giving them a still finer
Number. Announcement is made that
the coming December issue will contain
no less than six separately printed plates,
besides several other full-page illustra-
tions, the frontispiece being reproduc-
ton in the highest art of the wooden
graver, of the charming picture of "Tbe
Boy Jesus in the Temple" by professor
Hoffman, of Dresden, one of the chief
contributions of modern painting to re-
ligious art. The engraving is the work
of w. B. Closson, from whose graver
comes also in the same issue reproduc-
ton of the s'Flora" of Titan. The liter
airy and artistic contents otherwise fur
nish an extraordinary and delightful va

WASHINGTON LETTER.
sPEcIAL ioRREsPoYDENcT oFTHE MONITOR.

Washington, November IIh.
Cleveland's election means, to
government employees a revolution,
at least, in Washington. To be, or
not to be, turned out of office. That
is tie question with them. Whether
it is best to trust to the protection of
civil service rules, or prepare to re-
sign after the first of March.
The more hopeful talk about the
democratic party's pledges to con-
servatism, the necessity of making
some show of consistency, and say it
cannot afford to be rash. But others
argue there will be a great party
behind Cleveland and his cabinet,
when it is formed, who are hungry
for Office. Their requests have not
been regarded for more than twenty
years. They will demand clearing
out of all the government depart
ments and their demands cannot be
ignored. We might just as well
pack our trunks. Civil service rules
will not amount to anything when
the democrats want our places. De-
spondency is widespread and pro-
found, and so doleful are the coun-
tenances of the returning office hold
ers who went TO their various states
to vote, that the trains bringing them
daily to the city have been compared
to funeral trains. 2e
While other cities have probably
exhibited greater enthusiasm during
the campaign, none of them has had
an interest equal to that of Washing
ton in the result. Here the life cur
rents of society and business flow
from the executive departments of
the government. The relations of
the tens of thousands of employees OF
the government TO life and business
extend to every man, woman an6
child in the district.
In the public schools the prospec
of democratic administration com
/ ing into power next March is a mat
t ter of serious apprehension. A larg'
proportion of the pupils are the chill
dren of Government officials. On

SOME FAT LEGAL FEES.

Charles O'Conor received 1915, 900 for his
services in the Jumel case, which was very
reasonable, since lie secured to his client
an estate worth million. Evarts received
$4,000 for defending Beecher. Beach,
who represented Tilton, did not receive
more than SIS 900, and to raise this sum
Theodore had to mortgage his house and
exhaust all other resources. Ten years have
elapsed since this famous action took place,
and probably the world has never seen q
more exciting scandal since the attempt of
George Nv. to divorce the queen. Scott
Lord, who conducted Cornelius J. Wander
biltscontest of his fathers WILL received
$50, 900, and William ii. Vanderbilt paid
probably even more to his legal combatants.
In the james b. Taylor will fight the entire
estate, amounting toa quarter of million, was
deyoured by the lawyers during long liti-
cation, which was only discontinued when
tho funds were exhausted. Railway litiga-
ton pays liberal fees, and it is said that
David ID. Field draws $4,000 q year as
counsel for the l. roads. If any practitioner
can get berth of this kind he is sure of
fortune. In the Parish will case the fees
were $50, 900. The richest case, however,
ON record in this country was the protracted
quarrel between two coal companies. They
had made an agreement of very clear and
explicit character, and yet each interpreted
it differently from the other. Notwithstand-
ing the carefulness with which it was drawn
there was clear room for such a misunder-
standing, and each appealed to the law

NOTES FOR Doc DAYs.-T. M. Dolan,
f. r. G. s., the author of standard
work on hydrophobia, has drawn up the
following simple remedies for the i'm
mediate treatment of dog bites: AS it
is difficult to determine the state of health
of dog at the time he bites, the wound
should be treated as if the dog were
rabid. Dog bites should be treated at
once by the person bitten, or by by
stander, by sucking tho wound, if posi-
BILE enlarging the wound with penknife
to encourage bleeding by hot-water To-
mentation; by free washing with cold
water by ligature, piece of string tied
between wound and heart. After bleed
ing has been encouraged and the wound
has been well washed, apply hot iron-as
a heated penknife, small key, etc.-caus-
tics, pure nitric, sulphuric or hydrochloric
acid, nitrate of silver, acetic acid, carbolic
acid, ammonia, salt, Condy's fluid or
piece ofhot cinder. If near chemist let
the person bitten run there, keeping his
mouth applied to the wound, of possible
and splitting out the blood extracted. If
near medical mans house, run there at
once. If in part where the person bit
ten cannot apply his mouth, some by
stander should suck the wound.

WE DECLINE.

Ne,C York Sun, yesterday.
Every mail brings to us letters urging
The Sun to investigate on its own ac-
count the truth of the shocking scandals
that affect the personal character of the
Democratic candidate for President.
All of these requests come from Demo-
Gratis, some from Democrats prominent at
their respective homes. Some of the cor
respondents are old personal friends of
ours. They express, as a general thing,
willingness to accept the result of our in
vestigation as final in determining the
question of Mr.. Cleveland's fitness or un-
fitness.
We must respectfully decline to under
take the task.
If The San were in any way or in any
degree responsible for the selection of
the candidate, our sense of duty to the
Democracy might lead us to different
decision.

In recent decision, Judge Henry, of
Newark, said that a partition fence, if
built equally on the land of two owners,
at their joint expense, is the property of
both; but if built on the land of one it is
his property. The owner OF the land
where the trunk stands is the exclusive
owner of the entire tree, though the body
may grow into and the branches overhane
another's yard. He may compel the own,
er of the land where the fruit or branches
fall to deliver the same to him. But al
though the owner of land where the pro-
perty is shaded by overhanging branches
has no property in the branches, vet he
is not obliged to submit to it. He may
compel the owner to cut off the over
hanging branches. If the roots come into
his property he has right to cut them
off himself.
