WASHINGTON, D. G., NOV. 4, 1855
rnE RESULT IN NEW yonK.


Not only has the President reason to
he satisfied with the result of yostcr-
days election in New York, but look
ing at the matter from strictly non.
partisan standpoint THE CRTiC is of
the opinion that this Endorsement of
the Administration is the best thing
that could have happened for the
country.
1t is no longer an open question how
Mr.. Cleveland stands in his own State.
II can no longer be urged against him
that the majority by which he carried
the electoral vote of New York in No.
vember year ago was too small and
indecisive to be considered substan-
tial expression of public sentiment in
his favor, The strength which Gov
ernor Hill has developed in uniting the
somewhat discordant elements of his
own party and rallying various i'm
portant interests TO his support attcsts
his popularity as candidate and at the
same time bespcaks for the National
Administration, of which u distin.
guished citizen of New York is now
The head, permanent place in the con
tidence of the business men, the work.
ingmen and the citizens generally of
the Empire State
We believe that the outcome of this
great struggle will be salutary to the
public welfare, for the reason that 1t so
effectually settles what all admit was
hitherto to a greater or less extent uu-
settled-the standing of the Admins
uation before the people. 1t is an in
dorsement of the reforms instituted
and the methods pursued by the Gov
ernment. 1t points with clcarness to
a definite policy on which we may
safely depend, with the assurance that
the country is no longer to be torn up
and distracted by doubtful partisan
issues, that peace is to prevail between
the sections, that trade and commerce
will speedily resume their normal chan.
ncls, and politics, at least for health
full breathing spell, be subordinated to
more energetic development of the
true conditions of prosperity.
With an honest, vigorous, statesman
like administration of affairs at Wash
ington, and such the people seem to be
assured they are going to have, the bet
Ter times for which they have been
looking so long will not be long de-
layed.

denounced as combining in himself
everything Objectionable in politics
But Mr.. German paid very little atten-
lion TO all the noise made. That isnot
his way of conducting campaign. He
works with his brain and gives his
mouth rest. He is perhaps as thor
oughly equipped as any politician in
the country, and distributes his efforts
where they will do the most good.
That he worked intelligently and
comprehensively is shown by the fact
that despite the organized and bitter
fight made against him Maryland went
Democratic by about $4,000 majority,
while Baltimore, the headquarters of
the anti German forces, returns a ma
jority of more than 10000.

Lifting the EEnt

In the good old days, says the Chicago
Hcrdid, there was something stately and
commanding in the manner of lifting the
hat when the lady gave the signal for recog-
milton. 1t was combined with bow which
had to be well executed In order to make
the other eifectual. 1t was q sure index to
gentleman, for never knew vulgar
man to acquire the art of lifting his hat
gracefully. But this seems to have been
obliterated by the coming generation in
pants, The thing now is to grab the rim of
the hat in front with the same celerity you
would grab for a seat in a street car. Hav-
ing clutched the right spot, you jerk the hat
down as If you were trying to hide your
iace-and man who will take of his hat In
this way ought to hide his face-then you
rub the hat up and down your front, taking
care not to go below the belt, very quickly
as If you were trying to allay Irritation.
When the hat gets back to its place you
grin like monkey; one grin is all that the
custom requires. BY this time the lady has
passed, and If she is sensible woman It Is
her turn to grin.

VIRGINIA,

The result of the election in Virginia
is triumph for the Democracy of the
Old Dominion, such as they have not
achieved since the close of the war.
ii is the first time in years that the
party in that State has been thoroughly
united and actively enlisted all along
The lines. They made thorough can
vass, left no stone unturned to ensure
success and deserve credit for having
made so gallant fight on their own
independent resources They had
standard. bearer whose very name was
an inspiration.
There was some doubt expressed at
various stages of the canvass as to the
ability of the Democrats to carry the
Legislature but their efforts in this di-
reclion appear 10 have been conducted
with quite as much energy and dash as
elsewhere il the field. They have not
only elected the Governor of their
choice, but such majority of the Leg
islature as to make certain the election
Of Democratic United States Senator
as successor TO General Malone. Our
Democratic friends in Virginia have
certainly achieved glory enough for
one day, and that they will make
wise use of their victory is not to be
doubted.
1t is to the credit of both parties that
considering the degree to which the
public mind of the State was excited
over the contest, the election passed off
with such general quietude and absence
of disorder. The campaign has also
been remarkably free of scandalous
episodes. II was fair "stand-up
fight and the "best man" won.

THE OTHER day an engineer on the Mis-
sissippi Valley route was promoted from
freight to passenger train He was proud
OF his promotion and determined to make a
good record. He had been accustomed to
running heavy freight with the throttle
wide open, and he acted much the same wav
with the light passenger train. His failure
to make the necessary distinction between
the two loads caused him to build more
brilliant record ON his first passenger run
than he had intended. lie 'jerked the
boxes" along at the rate of fifty miles an
hour. lie had to wait at q number of
stations in order that time might catch up
with him. The train stopped for half an
hour for dinner. The conductor ate n

was to run over two cows. This seemed to

SARAH ALTnEA HUI, who is re
hearsing the part of Powid in "Thc
Merchant of Venice" has ideas of her
own about the kind of clothes that
Shakspcarc's charming heroine wore.
She refuses to accept the costume
which the traditions of the stage have
handed down as the proper one for the
actress who essays this role. Her no.
tions are somewhat lurid, and the OBJ
stinacy with which she clings to them
is reported to be carrying dismay to
the hearts Of those who are furnishing
the funds for her dramatic venture.
In the trial scene, instead of the Gus
tomary judicial cap and gown, she
persists in wearing the red velvet dress
which adorned her person when she
attended the marriage of ex-senator
Sharon's daughter to Sir Thomas
Hesketh. Miss Hill probably looks on
PortM as Salvini views C0F9laaus.
She thinks that Shakespeare must have
known her when he wrote "The Mer-
chant of Venice"

THERE will be held in Chicago on
the lith and 10th of this month a con.
ference that is sure to attract good
deal of attention. II is called by Mr..
David A. Wclles The wcll-known nd.
vocate of tariff reform. The invita-
ton to attend is very comprehensive,
it being to all of whatever political
faith or party allegiance who desire to
cooperate in promoting the relief of
the people from the burdens of the
present tariff whether they believe in
immediate and moderate reduction of
tariff taxes or in more thorough
change in our system of import duties.
The leading object of the meeting is to
promote action in behalf of the people
by their present representatives, or,
failing in that, TO consider the advis
ability of Independent action on the
part of those interested in the reform.
The question of the tariff is becoming
daily of more importance aud promi-
nencc. II was made prominent issue
in Virginia and New York, and the
party victorious in those States is the
party in favor of tariff reform.
