Red Cloud is quite an old man. He is very
tall and powerful looking. He has a perfect
contempt for women, and as he has only one

taken very kindly to the different attempts to
entertain him which have been proposed by the
society people who interest themselves in study

in her block. In the house next to her were two
of the handsomest young ladies in the town.
The Senator's wife thought she would invite in
the ladies for the purpose of meeting Red Cloud
She was especially anxious to witness the ad-
miration OF this savage for the two young
ladies who have made such hit in society
this winter. The ladies responded quickly
to the invitation. They came running into the
house. They were wrapped in white opera
cloaks and were Interesting pictures of youthful
vivacity to civilized eyes. at least They were
presented with due formality to Red Cloud. The
Senator's wife stepped back to study the look of
rapture upon the chiefs face when his eyes once
rested upon the faces Of the ladies. They thrust
out their hands to him. He grabbed them with
as little emotion as if they had been SO many
pieces of jerked beef. He grunted How and
then fairly flung each hand away from him as
the ladies were presented and did not look at
either of them. He escaped from them almost
instantly. and turned his entire attention to the
Senator. When he had finished what he had to
say to him he left the house as abruptly as he
had entered it. He absolutely refused to listen
to any invitation to remain, and fairly resented

The general result of the elections on
Tuesday can now be seen The United
States Senate is the citadel which the
democrats have strained every nerve to
capture. The frauds in Chicago almost
snatched lllionis last year; the frauds in
Cincinnati and Columbus almost snatched
Ohio thus year; but in both cases the rob-
bers were repulsed. and General Logan
aud Senator Sherman have been sustained.
This month the democrats concentrated
efforts upon Virginia. New York and New
Jersey Having control of the ballot
boxes, they have seized the seat now oc-
cupied by Malone. But in New York
and New Jersey they have failed. The
election of Republican Senate in New
Jersey insures the election of republican
when Senator Sewelrs term expires. The
legislative victory of the republicans IN
New York is keen disappointment to the
supporters of President Cleveland's adj
ministration, and probably he would have
been glad to see Hin defeated, if by his
defeat the way could have been opened to
the election of senator from New York
who would help to confirm the President S
partisan appointments. Looking over the
field. it is seen that elections of this year
give no reason to expect that the demo-
Gratis can now gain enough to control the
Senate during any part of Mr.. Cleveland S
term. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
are safe. and even Connecticut, apparent
ly. although the legislature there is close,
The preponderance of the republican vote
in the small towns is always felt when an
election of United States senator is direct
ly at stake. The democrats may gain in
Indiana. and have gained in Virginia, but
a gain of two seats would still leave the
republicans safe majority Tribune.

Ex-Minister Lew Wallace.

1t will probably transpire that General
Wallace has returned to Constantinople in
response to cable dispatch from the Sultan
of Turkey. 1t is well known that during his
recent residence as Uuited States minister at
the Court of the Sultan he not only formed
an intimate personal friendship with that
monarch, but was honored with his conf
dence to such an extent that he became his
counselor in important public affairs. 1t
may be that the chief purpose of his present
mission is to give his aid in the pending ne
9otiations for peace; but his services will be
in still more urgent demand in case of their
failure Should there be on Eastern war,
which now seems inevitable, General Wallace
will no doubt be rendered a high position in
the Sultan's service, and it is not at all un-
likely that be will be Commander in-Chief OF
the Turkish armies. Such an event would
be in perfect consonance with his past career,
which has been brilliant and dramatic in all
its episodes. As fellow-countrymen, we
wish Wallace good luck in his adventure.
