THE ELECTIONS LAST WEEK.

A summing up of the result of the cleo
lions held in several States last week shows
that, as compared with the previous year,
each party about held its own. The Demo-
Gratis find especial cause for rejoicing in their
success in New York and Virginia.
In New York the Democratic State ticket
was elected, the majorities ranging from
about $500 for Gov. Hill, to 1000 for Gen.
Jones for Lieutenant Governor New York
City gave AZ 900 majority for Hill-4,00Om
than it gave Cleveland for President. Kings
County (Brooklyn) gave Hill 9,0O0-6,000
less than for Cleveland. a light vote
throughout the State at large resulted in
reduced Republican majorities, giving the
State to the Democrats. The Republicans
! were, however, successful in the contest for
the Legislature, having over 80 majority on
joint ballot.
In Virginia Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was elected
Governor by 1900 majority, and the other
State officers by figures nearly as large. The
Democrats captured the Legislature, in which
they have more than two thirds majority,
insuring Democratic Senator in place of
Gen. Malone.
Pennsylvania still marches at the head of
the Republican procession. Although this
is an "off" year, the average Republican
majority in that State was about 10000
only 5000 less than the great majority for
Blaine year ago. But Pennsylvania is the
State that gave Grant 10000 over Greeley,
in 1872, and the people of the country have
long since ceased to wonder at anything she

CAPTURING A LOCOMOTIVE.

This work tells in the most graphic and
startling manner one of the most remarkable
adventures, both in point of daring and exc
cution, that took place during the war of
the rebellion. It narrates how handful of
devoted men penetrated into the heart of
the Confederacy and there stole locomo-
tive engine, with the intention of using it
as means of burning railroad bridges and
thus cutting the rebel army off from its
base of supplies. Then comes the chase,
capture and imprisonment Of the adven-
turers, together with the brutal execution of
several of their number, all told in q manner
which thrills the reader to the very soul.
This work is both handsomely bound,
printed and illustrated, and will be sent
free to any person sending eight new SUBJ
scribers to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, or we
will send it together with the paper for one
year for So. The price Of the book alone
is Sl.5O.

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The Presidents proclamation command
ing the anti-Chinese rioters in Washington
Territory TO desist from their lawless out
RACES is timely, and will be approved by
every right-minded citizen. Without at this
time expressing any opinion on the question
of encouraging Chinese emigration, and fully
realizing that there are logical arguments on
both sides, it may fairly be said that so long
as the Chinese are here, and respect the laws,
they are as much entitled to protection, in
person and property, as any other class of
aliens who avail themselves of the promises
and privileges soefreely held out by this
Republic to the "downtrodden millions" of
earth. To discriminate against them under
such circumstances is at variance with the
underlying principles upon which our Gov
eminent is founded. 1t cannot be ques-
toned that when they came they had right
to come. We are at peace with China, and
the Government of that great Empire ex
tends its protection to American citizens
doing business there. Reciprocity is no more
than simple justice.
A careful thinker may find something of
parallel in the presence here of the negro
race. 1t might, perhaps, have been better if
the negroes had never been brought here, but
they were, under the protection Of law, and
we have no alternative but to make the best
of it, It's true the Chinese came voluntarily,
but in the mingling of dissonant and incon-
gruous races the two cases have some similar
ity. tits gratifying to note that these outrages
have not been committed by native-born
Americans, but by men who are themselves
mostly aliens-Cornish miners from England
being the chief promoters of and participants
in these deeds of violence-and who, while
seeking personal liberty for themselves, dis
play the utmost bigotry and prejudice toward
others who are here for the same purpose.

THE greatest of our American poets to-day

WHENEVER we indulge in the luxury o.
burying Congressman, and his mourning
colleagues find it necessary to brace up with
few baskets of champagne, there is a
right smart howl" by the fellows who got
left on the drinks, about "junketing Con-
gressmen." What would we say if we had
such occasions as the recent meeting of the
three Emperors, which only lasted 20 hours,
and cost the Austro-Hungarian treasury
100000, or about $3.50 minute. A large
part of this expense was for 1000 bottles of
the finest Rhine wine, 5000 bottles of cham
payne, and $500 of claret.

DEATH OF JOHN McCUIIOUGU.

In the death of John Mccullough, the
tragedian, the stage loses one of its brightest
ornaments. BY his ability, seconded by the
most earnest and conscientious effort, he
had fairly earned the position that had been
accorded him, not only in this, the land of
his adoption, but in other countries, in the
foremost rank of his profession. His life
was ardently devoted to the pure and
Legitimate" drama. His influence was
always exerted against those spectacular
and sensational plays which, depend
ing for their success upon red fire and
shapely anatomy, and whose "plots"--
when they have any--turn upon ideas and
situations of doubtful morality, have done
SO much to bring the stage and its people
into disfavor in the minds Of large class of
men and women. Viewed in this light, the
death of Mr.. Mccullough cannot be consid-
cred otherwise than public bereavement.
He was but 81 years Of age. He was
superb specimen of physical! manhood, and
up to two years ago was in the full prime of
manly vigor.
He was born near Londonderry, Ireland,
in 1882. At the age of Is he came to Amer
lea and settled in Philadelphia, which was
always afterward his home After working
some years in furniture mandatory his

WE call attention to the General Order
issued by Department Commander Brown,
of Ohio, which will be found in our Grand
Army columns, calling upon the comrades in
that State to be generous in their offerings,
for the coming Christmas, to gladden. the
hearts of the $40 children at the Soldiers
and Sailors Orphans Home at Xenia. This
most worthy institution is dear to the hearts
of the members of the Grand Army, and we
are sure that the appeal in behalf of these
children of their old comrades will not be
made in vain.

may achieve in the way of Republican
maiorities
Massachusetts reelected Gov. Robinson,
and gave the whole Republican State ticket
about $4,000 majority.
Connecticut chose a new Legislature, in
which the Democrats made marked gain
of some 80 members. The Republicans still
have, however, majority of over 20 on
joint ballot.
In New Jersey the Republicans also
elected majority of the Legislature, assur-
ing that party continuance of its repre-
sentation in the United States Senate by
Sewell or his successor.
A Democratic cyclone swept over Mary
land, the majority being considerably larger
than that given for Cleveland. The very
few Republicans elected to the Legislature
will be lonesome enough. Senator German
reads his title clear to another term.
Mississippi, as was expected, went almost
unanimously Democratic. The Republicans
had no State ticket, combining their feeble
efforts to local officers in few Counties.
In Iowa the Republicans elected their
State ticket by some 5000 figure that
looks very small when compared with the
results of most of the contests in that State
for the past % years.

Two NEW PENSION AGENTS.

On Monday the President appointed Gen.
Don Carlos Buell. to be Pension Agent at
Louisville, KY, and Robert McKinstry at
Detroit, Mich. The appointment of Gen.
Buell. will be in the nature of surprise to
many. Since he resigned from the army,
soon after the war, he has been living so
quietly in Kentucky, engaged in business as a
private citizen, that he had almost disap-
peared from view. Now he will disburse
pensions to thousands of the men who once
served under him as soldiers at Shiloh and
in the campaigns in Kentucky and Tennes-
see. There is no doubt that with his we'll
known systematic methods the affairs of the
Office will be well and faithfully admins
tered.
Mr.. McKinstry, the new Pension Agent at
Detroit, lives at Jackson, Mich. He was q
private soldier during the war, serving in
the Army of the Potomac He is an active
member of the Grand Army, and was heartily
Endorsed by his comrades.

true story of the war better than any pom
derous history can do.

dramatic talent began to manifest itself
Fortunate in receiving the encouragement
and assistance of Edwin Forrest, he soon
adopted the stage as his profession and made
rapid progress. Forrest subsequently made
him his legatee. leaving to him at his death
all his wardrobe, manuscripts stage proper
ties, etc. During the ensuing years Mr.. Nc
Cullough's success was brilliant in the COM

Two years ago Mr.. McCullough's friends
were panied at the discovery of symptoms
that his mind was falling He continued to
fill his engagements, Notwithstanding in
creasing evidences of mental weakness, until
in September, 1884, at Chicago, he broke
completely down before an audience, unable
even to recite his lines. From this time he
declined rapidly, becoming wholly imbecile
in mind and broken in body. Occasional
rallies gave now and then a CLEAN Of hope to

full tenderness, but the physicians gave no

the great actors life went out at Philadel-

lum, his mania rendering him at times
dangerous to himself and those about him,

moved from the asylum and placed under
the immediate care of his relatives.
