The Old Man who has not Shaved Since
1860 Turns Up-A Chain for CIeve-
land.
A tall, brOad-shouldered man, of ap-
parently 80 years, says the New York
Telegram of Monday, walked into Hinders
Seventh street barbershop in Philadelphia
this morning and seated himself in a
chair. A heavy black beard covered his
face, and his shirt front, and was finally
lost TO sight within the capacious recesses
Of his waistcOat.
"Hair cut, STRIP said the barber, as he
began to tuck towel around the collar of
his customer, preliminary to picking up
his shears. The old man, who had been
busy with his beard during this interval,
now exposed it to the astOn1shed gaze of
the shOpmen. 1t reached three inches be-
low his knees when it was uncoiled. He
replied: "No, but'-here he glanced
around the shop with a triumphant smile

Apparently seeing that some explanation
would be welcome to the astOnished gath

man said in tones that showed the emo

OFFICE HOLDERS TROUBLES.
They are Unhappy Over the Change
Soon to Take Place.

They are Unhappy Over the Change
Soon to Take Place.
After % years of continuous possession
of power, says Washington special to
the New York Sun, it goes hard with the
Republican leaders to contemplate the
probability of retirement. This long lease
has made many of them think they had
almost fee simple in the government as
if it were so much real estate. They have
only recognized the existence of an ad-
verse claimant by compulslon, and by the
fact that the House of Representatives for
years has been held by Democratic
majority. In all other respects they have
exercised supreme control over every
branch of the government, while the party
has been in minority of the people for
II years.
1t is not surprising that the managers
of this organization, who have greatly
prOfited by their opportunities, and whose
faYOrites have enjoyed all the public
hOnors exclusively, should be unwilling
to go out of their soft places, and should
die hard in opposing the popular will.
Their children have grown to manhood
educated in the idea that this government
belonged to them as an Inheritance.
Whatever may be said about civil SER
administration of public affairs has been
almost wholly in the hands of one party
in the departments here and throughout
the country. More than eIght-tenths of
the officehOlders are Republicans, and the
remaining twO-tenths hold the small
places, procured through the favor of
friends in Congress, or through the liber-
ality of members of some of the Cabinets.
This machinery has been always syste-
matically organized. and run for the
benefit of the party by means of State as
sociatiOns. The practical effect of it was
seen at the recent State and Presidential
elections, when all the principal chiefs of
bureaus openly canVassed different States
for months, and when the departments
were almost literally emptied by the de-
parture of voters for the States from
which they hailed.
Large numbers of the forgers, periur-
ers, thieves, ballOt-boX suffers and other
scOundrels who were employed to steal
the votes of Louisiana, South Carolina
warded by Hayes and Sherman for that
offices, and of course they are the loudest
champions of civil service life tenure.
All through this campaign, the office
holders, as a body. have been more offen-
sive and intolerant toward the few nom
partisans, than at any former time. And
since the election many of them have
been grossly Indecent in denouncing their
opponents in the hearing and in the pres
ence of superiOrs, during the hours of
public business.

ToULON's RECORD.
PANAMA CANAL.
Some New and Interesting Information
with Regard to 1t.

Some New and Interesting Information
with Regard to 1t.
Capt. Nathan Appleton. who lately re-
turned from Paris to his home in Boston,
and who, while in Paris, had opportuni-
ties for meeting M. de Lesseps and getting
from him some points about the Panama
canal, gave a Herald reporter, day or
two ago, the following:
"M. de Lesseps still looks young and
active. He passes good deal OF the au-
tumn at his country place, La Chenaje,
right in the heart of France, and only
comes up to Paris when there is some inn
portant meeting for him to attend. All
IS going on well with the Panama canal,
and two great steps in its history have
been taken this very summer. The first
of these is the subscription to the issue Of
about 1924, 100000 of bonds which was en-
tirely covered except some $2,O00,OO0,
which the company keeps in its portfolio
to be offered any time the market is favor
able. This last loan, with the previous
ones, makes the resources of the canal
company somewhat more than $140,O0O,OOO
a very large sum of money, OF which hard,
lV half as yet been expended, and that
too. including the purchase of the Panama,
Railroad. In fact, the company has
money enough to continue the works even
with increased activity for more than two
years. The other event was contract
which Mr.. II. b. Slaven, President Of the
American Contracting and Dredging
Company of New York, signed with Mr..
Dingler, Director General OF the works on
the Isthmus, for dredging 30,0OO,0O0 public
metres, nearly one-quarter OF the whole
canal. For this, in addition to the three
great Hercules dredgers now there and at
work, Mr.. Slaven has agreed to have
twelve more constructed and delivered on
the Isthmus as soon as practicable.
AMERICAN MACHINES.
''It is to be remembered that these CO.
lOssal machines are all constructed in the
United States and cost more than $100, 900
each. so our people certainly cannot COM
plain that they have nothing to do with
digging the canal. Mr.. Dingler has now
returned to Panama, and the coming sea-
son will see the works prosecuted with a
vigOr far greater than before. NJ. de Les
seps is determined to have the canal open
in 1888, if no unforeseen obstacles pre-
vent; and for this end all his friends and
co-workers are doing their best, with that
enthusiasm which he so magnetically in
spires in all about him. The old
gentleman, who will be 70
during this month of November, proposes
to go to the isthmus next March to open
in person the first section of the canal,
from Colon to Gatun, some ten miles.
He has invited a party Of persons, really
believers in the enterprise, to come down
from New York and Boston to see what
has been done. 1t is not, of course, to be
supposed that this first section will be
thoroughly finished for the passage Of
great vessels, but the intention is to have
a channel in the centre of the canal
through which M. de Lesseps and his
companions can pass along the line in
some steamer on a tide level, borne by
the water of the Atlantic ocean,"

THEY'VE GOT U.s."
The Prevailing Opinion Among the Re-
publicans.

Messrs. Barlow, Stetson and Anderson
are the immediate representatives of the
Democratic Committee in the canvass in
New York City, says New York special
of Nov. IL. William NJ. Evarts, Robert
Sewell and Col. George Bliss appear for
the Blaine managers. 1t was reported
around the hotel corridors last night that
very heavy retainers were demanded by
all three gentlemen before they would
consent to serve. Tammany has kindly
consented to lend some of her talent to the
Democrats, though whether it is of the
muscular or legal order cannot be deter
mined until the Committee of Twenty-four
appointed by that organization last night
appears in the Aldermanic chamber to-
day. The Irish-American contingent up
to midnight had not prOtfered anV assist
ance to Mr.. Elkins and his associates.
Chairman Jones, of the Republican Ma
tiOnal Committee, did not issue his daily
address to the country yesterday, and it
is believed that something must be amiss.
The visiting statesmen who were expect
ed from the West must have been switch
ed off on side track, for they had not ap-
peared in any of the places of public re-
sort last evening. 1t was reported, how
ever, that Messrs. Dudley and New had
SnedkeU lHlO IHe ClIy anu taken quarters
IN locality remote from the haunts of
the politicians. Emery A. Storrs and a
fat gentleman, who resembled a we'll fed
government official, eagerly discussed
the situation in the corridors of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel during the evening. Their
faces indicated anything but pleasure at
the prospects. 1t is sadly realized by
all the Blaine people that this is not
the State of Louisiana or even of
Florida, and there will doubtless be much
less of an exhibition of themselves
made by the visiting statesmen in conse-
quence. 1t is only necessary nowadays
to mention the magic word ''Burchard"
in the presence of the Blaine people to
provoke a storm of wrathful curses. In
one breath they declare that Blaine has as
much chance as Cleveland of getting a
plurality on the official count, and in the
next they declare that 'Burchard has
beaten Blaine" The only real practical
view that has been taken of the situation
anywhere in the vicinity of the two Re-
publican headquarters was that of the
gentleman who came Fout of the Gilsey
House headquarters last night. To an
anxious inquirer he grufiy remarked:
''We may as we'll acquiesce decently in
this thing. They've got u.s."

LIEUT.. GREELY ATWAsHINGToN
He VIII Never Return to the Arctic Ol
Account of a Promise to His Wife

He VIII Never Return to the Arctic on
Account of a Promise to His Wife.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Lieut. and
Mrs. A. W. Greedy arrived here to-day to
remain for the winter. For the present
they are the guests of Gen. aud Mrs. Rug
giles, but they have rented a house on I
street, in which they will reside. Lieut..
Greedy, who looks very much as he did
when he left Washington, said tonight
that while he never expected to be so we'll
again as he was before he went on the ex-
peditiOn, he had improved constantly,
and was now quite himself again. His
flesh was once more firm, he said, and he
moved his muscles with less effort. There
was still room for improvement,
though, and he proposed taking
good care of himself. He thinks
it will take him year to write his report
of the expedition. 1t will be dry and un-
interesting to the general reader, setting
forth chiefly, if not solely, the scientific
features Of the expeditions work. The
more sensational portions of its history
he proposed, he said, to publish in a book
which he has planned. Lieut.. Greedy
said that, sad as they were, there was
nothing in the experience of his eXpedi-
tiOn which would deter him from return
ing to the Arctic regions on a similar er-
rand, but that he would n sver go again,
because he had promised his wife that if
she would let him go on the Lady Frank
lin bay expedition. and he should return,
he would never ask to 90 again.

close Voting in New York.

This Is the first time the vote of the
State of New York has been very close in
a Presidential election, says the Syracuse
Herald. but in several State elections the
States vote has been as close and as long
in doubt as now. In 1852 Washington
Hunt, Wing, was chosen Governor by
only 252 plurality over HoratiO Seymour.
The whole vote in that election was less
than 430, 900, while this year 1t is nearly
three times that figure. In 1854 Myron II.
Clark, Wing, was elected over Horatio
Seymour by 300 plurality. Inearlier cleo
tions William H. Seward beat William l..
Marcy by 10000, and two years later Sew
ard defeated William G.. Bouck by 5,203.
Silas Wright, Democrat, had 10 600 over
Millard Fillmore in 1874. John Young,
Democrat, was elected by II, 900 over Silas
Wright two years later. In more recent
years the State has been more decided,
although sometimes Republican and
sometimes Democratic. Up to 1920 less
than 100, 900 votes were cast in the whole
State. In 1917 Dewitt Clinton had 43, $40
to ,479 for Peter B. Porter. In 1922 Jo-
seph G. Yates had lbs, ,493 to 2,910 for Sol
omon Southwick. These two are tine most
thoroughly jug-handled results in the
States politics. General Dix had over
1900 over Francis Herman in 1872, and
Samuel j. TildeR had more than $4,000
over Dix two years later. The majority
Of Grover Cleveland for Governor two
years ago over Charles j. T0lger was
1872, ,S54a phenomenal result.

THE PLENARY COUNCIL.

Only American Matters to be Dealt
with and DOgmas Not to be Touched.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.-At the meeting
of the Plenary Council to-day the several
subjects to be considered were called up
and placed in the hands of the commits
sioners. 1t is expected that most of the
commission will be ready to report Fri
day. 1t is understood that higher educa-
tiOn of the clergy and of the people and
marriage relations will be among
the most important subjects to
be discussed. Only matters affecting
the government of the Catholic Church
in the United States will be considered,
the Council having nothing to do with
the dogmas of the faith. The attendance
of delegates at the session to-day was
full. This evening Bishops Gilmore and
Cleveland preached at the cathedral on
the Necessity of the Revelation" To-
morrow the POntifical mass of the re-
QUEEN will be celebrated at the cathedral
for the repose of the souls of bishops who
have died since the meeting of the second
Plenary Council. Archbishop Alemany,
of San Francisco, will be the celebrant
and Archbishop Corrigan, of New York,
will pronounce the eulogium.

HOW BIG REPUBLICANS FEEL
New York and it's Vicinity the Strong
hold They Expect to Capture

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Among the
interviews published this evening are the
following: Ex-COmmissioner Dudley,
after saying that he had not given up
Blaine's election yet, said: sIf Cleveland
is elected it will have bad effect upon
business. Much will depend upon the
Southern people. They will be in the
saddle, and the safety of the country de-
pends upon whether they act calmly and
wisely or ride roughshod over every
thing" He would not say whether he
was TO have the COmmissionership of PEN
slOns again. 1t is, however, currently re-
ported that he will get it back.
Secretary Teller being interviewed
said that grave frauds had undoubtedly
been perpetrated by the Democrats in
some of the New York precincts, and
that they would be proven to the satisfac-
ton of the board canvassing the votes.
He said that Gen. Butler had stated to
him that 1,50O Blaine votes had been un-
lawfully thrown out in Kings county
alone.
There is in the Treasury Department one
official who understands that in the re-
cent election the Republican party won
victory over itself. "Are you ready to
vacate?' inquired a reporter this morn
ing of Col. Brooks, Chief Of the Secret Ser
vice of the Treasury Department.

POLITICAL FRATRICIDES.

How the Illinois Authorities knitted
the Blalneites-The Party Going to
Pieces.
EXAMINATIONS and recrimiEatIons, says
Chicago special, are passing between Ar
thur and Blaine Republicans here and in
other parts of the State on the outcome
of the recent election, which has not only
given the control of the nation over to the
Democrats, but promises the election of a
Democratic Senator from Illinois to sue
ceed Logan. The Arthur men, many of
whom became "mugwumps," say if the
Blaineites had not insisted on showing
their candidate down the throats of the
convention and had nominated Ar
thur, he would have been elected.
The Blaine men retOrt that if
the Arthur men had not fallen from
their allegiance Blaine would have been
elected. The fact is, not only did the Ar
thur men knife Blaine, but they went fur
ther and refused to vote for Blaine's con-
spicuOus hackers. such as George r.
Davis, who is succeeded by Ward, Demo-
crat, in the Third Congressional district,
which is several thousand Republican.
They went a step further and put knife
under the ribs of all candidates on the
Republican State ticket who did not bear
the very best record. The result is that
the Democrats have exactly halt of the
State Legislature on joint ballot, while
there are two districts in doubt, both of
which the Republicans must get to make
it tie. Carter Harrison, having been
defeated for Governor ON the Democratic
ticket, is trimming his sails for a cruise
into the United States Senate, and John
Finerty, Blaine Independent, defeated for
Congress, will probably be nominated by
the Republicans for Mayor to succeed
Harrison. The Republican party is going
to pieces in this State.
