temperance element. On the whole,
the result in Ohio shows that the re-
publican party is still strong and
capable of effective work; and that the
reform pretensions of the Cleveland
administration are not trusted to any
great extent.
1t does not appear that the raising of
the issue of free ballot and honest
count by Senator Sherman injured the
republican cause, as the Independent
papers predicted it would do. On the
contrary, the republicans of Ohio have
decided that the suffrage question is
still living issue, and that it is not to
be considered as settled until it is
settled rightly. A significant feature
of the result in Ohio is that Governor
Hoadly was the candidate of the admin
istration, and the federal offices were
manipulated in his behalf. The repub-
licans had no federal patronage to aid
them, which shows that the power of
this element in political campaign
may often be overestimated.
One important result of the election
was the adoption of constitutional
amendment, changing the time of the
state election from October to Novem.
Der. Ohio was the last of the October
states; and in presidential years the
result in that state has been regarded
as somewhat significant of the genera
result. On most accounts the change
is not to be regretted, and it may be re-
garded as in the line of true politica,
progress.

silver certificates, based on the price of
silver in the open market at the time
of the purchase; that these silver certifi-
Gates be receivable for customs dues
and other debts due to the United
States; that the certificates be re-
deemable in silver at the market rate
at the time when offered for redemp-
ton; that five-dollar bills and smaller
bills be replaced by silver certificates;
and that trade dollars be received at
face value, melted down and reissued
in standard dollars, the weight of which
is raised to approximate gold value
The best judgment of the country un-
doubtedly approves the resolution OF
the recent bankers convention, which
favors suspension of the coinage un.
til an international agreement can be
secured as to the future relations Of
gold and silver as money.

The Result i'm Ohio.

The result of the state election in
Ohio is more satisfactory than the re-
publicans had reason TO anticipate,
though they did not expect to lose the
state. Foraker's net plurality is over
seventeen thousand, and the latest adj
vices give the republicans the legisla-
ture by fair working majority, which
ensures the reelection of Senator Sher-
man. The last two weeks of the cam
paign were exceeding lively. Judge
Foraker, who is an able man and popu-
lar speaker, held joint discussions with
his opponent, Governor Hoadly, and
it was admitted that the latter came of
second-best, though he is a brilliant
lawyer and somewhat adroit politi
clan. The detection of the prohibi
tionists from the republican party die
not reach the proportion that the demo
Gratis expected; and after it was made
plain that the prohibitionist movement
was merely tail to the democratic
kite, it lost much of its hold on thu

S175. This volume includes the six numbers
of Wide drake from December, 1884, to May,
1895, inclusive. The best critics of juvenile
literature long ago gave the palm TO Wide
Atcake as the best magazine for young folks
published, either in this country or in
Europe, and it has gone on year after year,
constantly increasing in literary and artistic
worth, although in reading one number it
has been difficult to see how the next could
improve upon it. The publishers have
spared neither money nor pains to make it
what it is. The best authors of the country
have been drawn upon as contributors, and
nearly every article in its pages has been il
Illustrated by artists of the highest standing
and reputation. The present volume con-
tains as special features Charles Egbert
Craddock's famous story, Down the Ra-
vine," and the not less interesting serials,
" The Bubbling Teapot by Lizzie W,
Champney, and In Leisler's Times" by
Elbridge S. Brooks. There are, besides
stories by Rose Terry Cooke, Susan Coolidge

Fremont, and others of high reputation,
with poems by Celia Thaxter, Dora Read
Goodale, Mrs. Clara Doty Bates, :" M. f:

others. Most of these are exquisitely illus
trated and the bound volume forms an at
tractive and valuable present TO the young

THE death of Henry w. Shaw,
widely known as Josh Billings y
which occurred in Monterey, Cal, last
week, removes humorist of more than
ordinary merit. He was born in Lanes
boro, Mass, in 1918, and his father
and grandfather had been in congress
the latter having been a member
from Vermont during the war of 1872
"Josb - in early life was engaged in
farming and auctioneering, and never
wrote line for the public until he
was forty-five years of age. His wise
and witty sayings are known to all
and the wretched photography in which
they were CARRIED detracted little from
their real merit.

THE highly-sensational letter in the
Boston Erening Record of October 10,
in relation to the senatorial question
in Vermont, possibly contains some in
formation that is true, but it certainly
contains good many statements that
are absolutely false. When it is known
that the writer of that communication
is w. f. Barrett, who is somewhat I'M
favorably known here as correspond
ent to whom the truth is oftener
stranger than fiction, perhaps it is I'M
necessary to say more. We desire
to say, however, that his statement
about the editor of the WATCHMAN is
false in every particular. Perhaps we
should blame him less for this than the
INSCRIPTIONS person or persons who
g stuffed" him with the lie. Barrett
is confiding and gullible, and easily
imposed upon. We should not deem
it necessary to make any allusion to
Barrett's latest work of fiction, but for
the fact that the Record has some cir
culation hereabouts, and there may be
few persons in the community who
will do Barrett the injustice to be-
lieve that he has told the truth, when
he intended nothing of the kind.

Notes and Opinions.

THE Philadelphia Press suggests
Sherman and Davenport for the repub-
lican ticket in 1888.
THE New York court of appeals has
decided that the alteration of date in
a check constitutes forgery.
THE administration goes right on re-
moving republican office-holders for
political reasons; and the Independent
papers 90 right on insisting that Mr.
Cleveland is true to his reform profess
sions.
Mr.. Villas tells New York inter-
viewer that civil service will continue
to be enforced "to the letter" in the
post-office department. He means, of
course, the letter of dismissal. Mr..
Villas evidently aspires to figure as the
humorst of the administration
dianopoHs Journal.
THE Boston Globe unkindly says of
the mugwumps: "The more of the
professional reformers the President
can find offices for the fewer of them
will return to the republican party.
The one sure way to catch and hold the
shy mugwump birds is to sprinkle some
spoils salt on their tails"
THE Mormon epistle which has just
been issued, with the object of nerving
the faithful to further resistance to the
federal law, will in all probability fail
of its purpose, since even Mormon
saints realize that life has other ends
than paying $500 fines and serving six
months terms of Imprisonment.
THE Springfield Union says the dem
ocratic organs that went into connip-
ton fits year ago because James G.
Blaine once wanted to buy some rail
road bonds are not saying much about
the 81 800, 900 of electric and telephone
stock that was given to Attorney-gen-
eral Garland, then a United States SEN
atOr.
THROUGH the failure of the Labra-
dor fisheries, famine is threatening the
hardy people of that most inhospitable
coast. Last year the government was
called upon to assist the fisher folks,
and during the past twenty years the
same misfortunes have befallen them
many times. The fact is that the fish
cries are failing more and more from
year to year. A quarter of century
ago the abundance of sea food was such
that few weeks of hard work would
produce enough to last the whole year
IT is no wonder that the respectable
citizens of Cincinnati are stirred with
indignation by the rascally attempt il
few democratic precincts to tampel
with the election returns and defy the
election laws. In four strong demo
cratic precincts there was no pretenct
of complying with the registration law
during the day, and the ballot-boXe'
were practically stolen without making
a count at night. And this appears t.
be the only ground on which the demo
Gratis rest their claims of having carried

SEVERAL New York papers say that
President Cleveland does not endorse
the nomination of Governor Hill by the
democrats. On the other hand, the
friends of Governor Hill claim that he
was the Presidents choice. If the
President repudiates Hill then he is
not much of democrat-he is sort of
democratic mugwump. The prospects
of the republican ticket are most flat
tering.

THE recent elections in France have
been unfavorable to the republicans.
AT the last general election but eighty
eight conservatives were returned;
one hundred eighty-three have now
been chosen, with a probable increase
of this number by second ballotings to
two hundred ten. Four members of
the present cabinet were defeated and
have promptly resigned. The result is
hailed by monarchists and imperialists
as their victory; but it is hardly proba-
BILE that it will give them much adj
vantage in carrying out their schemes.
for the people do not really desire a
restoration of the monarchy.

The Reunion and Politics.

We have read with considerable sur
prise the extraordinary statements of
the correspondents of two "outside !"
newspapers concerning the recent leg

foundation for their representations,
then it might be admitted that one
must go away from home to get the

In the case of the United States
against Oscar A. Burton, for perjury,
tried in the United States court at Rut-
land last week, the respondent was ac-
that grew out of the failure of the First
National Bank of st. Adams. The
ground of defence was that Burton did
not make oath to certain statement,
as charged, but simply signed his name
to blank containing certificate of
the directors; and Judge Wheeler
charged the jury that if they found the
oath was not taken they must acquit.
In the case of Edward A. Sowles, presi-
dent of the defunct bank. who was in
dicted on the charge of deceiving the
bank examiner, his counsel Colonel
Walker) entered demurrer to the suf-
fciencv of the indictment, claiming
that there was no averment in the in
dictment that false entries were made
on the books, or wherein the notes in
question were fictitious. District At
torney Haskins said the gist of the
Indictment was in deceiving the bank
examiner and in making false entry
to deceive the examiner. He claimed
the notes were fraudulent because they
were not honest notes, and maintained
that entering false notes constituted
Il misdemeanor under the law Judge
Wheeler sustained the demurrer. The
results in these cases would seem to in
dictate serious defects in the law.
