pRFSyDENTIAL INDICATIONS

Cor,o;r r.rayranhs are In circulation prOfes-
sing TO state he general results or the recenC
elections. as indicative of an electoral result IL
the choice of a President had depended upon
the votes recently cast. These paragraphs
would be more instructive than they are, II
they were more faithful to the facts. 1t hap
mems that in Fifteen States the Republicans have
a plurality of the popular vote at the late elec-
ton. namely, Illinois, Indiana Iowa, Kansas,
Name, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska
Nevada. Onio Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Wisconsin. and in these
States they have elected majority or Con-
p,essmen. including Rhode leland. where no
one doubts that Republican Will De CHOSEN
at the second election. These fifteen states
have 175 electoral votes. TO these there may
be added C0nnec lent, where the Republicans
had q plurality, Minnesota, where the RepuDh-
can candidate for Governor was elected, though
local fights defeated three of their candidates
for Congress- and New Hampshire, where the
Republican, have decided plurality, though
the Congressional delegation Is at present
divided, one district being contested. AIDING
the seyenteen electoral votes of these States,
there appeai to be 1872 for the Republicans,
without reckoning Virginia with its twelve
voies, where the Republicans also had
plurality and elected majority OF Congress
men.
On the other hand fifteen States give
popular majority to Democratic candidates.
and elected a majority of Democratic Con-
gressmen, namely, all the former slave States
except Virginia These States have l4l cleo
toral votes, and to them may be added New
York and New-Jersey, where the Democi ats
had popular plurality, though the Repuoh-
cans elected majority OF congressman WIN
the forty-fve votes from these States, the
Democrats can claim 1856 electoral votes.
There remain Virginia, which must be clisSed
AS a Republican State if the late elections ara
taken as test California, in which the result
az to Governor is disputed though the Repub-
licans have a majority of the Congressman, and
Colorado " here the Democrats appear to have
the State ticket and the Republicans the
| member of Congress. These twenty three cleo
| toral votes may fairly be- reckoned as doubtful
| The obvious moral is that the Repu blicans
| have the power to nominate candidate VINO
| can carry the doubtful States. The Democrats
have not the power. 30 far as recent elections
afford any indication, to nominate a candidate
who can carry New York and New-Jersey ana
at the same time secure the doubtful States.

Thus it is clear. a. here stated, that james
Appleton, as a private citizen of Massachu-
seits, publicly suggested, in 1882, the Wis
dom of a prohibitury liquor law and in 1887
the same james Appleton, as member of
the Maine Legislature, urged upon that body
the enactment of such law" The Temper

Is. 1858, repnbished General Appleton's re-
port, and in doing 50 observed: "This is the
first announcement of the pTOhibitory princl~
ples and Is the origin of the Maine law" lD
effect the report fully comprehends the pro-
hlbi ory argument that all who followed Cen
eral Appleton were compelled to use his rea-
soning. The fact that he, and not Neal Dow,
is entitled TO be regarded as the father of the
Name law seems indeed to be established in

venerable founder of the cause is most incom

Ignored, aud all the credit is given to General
Dow, who, as this pamphlet proves, merely
stepped in the tracks made by General Apple
ton. The case is curious In mure than ono re-
spect, for it is hardly credible that no one at
the Centennial Convention knew the facts; and
if no one else was aware Of them it is difiicnlt
to conceive that they were unknown to Neal
Dow himself. 1t ia to be presumed that in
future editions of the centennial history the
proper corrections and acknowledgements will

PRINCE ALtxANDEFS SUCCESSOR.

The Bulgarian Assembly has res Olved to force
Russia's hand by nominating candidate Tor
the throne Pri zee Wademar, the youngest
son of the Danish King, WAS regarded several
months ago as the Cars own candidate. lie
is the favor to brother of the Czarina, whose
influence over her husband is said TO be very
strong in political affairs Copenhagen cor
respondent of THE TRIBUNE recently gave
curious account of his candidacy, representing
it to be an intrigue of petticoat government.
The @ ieen of Denmark. who has been remark
ably successful in providing thrones for her
children, was unhappy because SO promising a
Prince as w .ldemar had no theatre for the
display of h talents. She had easily succeeded
in interesting her daughter, the Czarina, IN his
behalf, and the hidden motive of the Cars
embttered hostility to Prince Alexander was
his desire to place his wife's brother on the
throne of Bulgaria. Fanciful as this recital OF
the secret history of palace intrigue in Copen
hagen and st. Petersburg appears, there are
many reasons for believing that Alexander iii.
will not be displeased with the election of
Prince Wadenar. The Foreign Office may con-
slider it prudent to feign hostility to it; Cen
eral Kaubars may be instructed TO make one
of his characteristic demonstrations against 1t;
but the Danish Prince may be none the less
the preferred Russian candidate.
Public opinion in Europe will probably be
favorable 10 the confirmation OF Prince Wal
demar by the Powers. If exception be taken
to his candidacy anywhere outside OF Russia, it
will be in France, where a Republican Govern
nent may not be able to overcome it's dread of
the exiled Orleans family. Prince Waldemar
married only year ago Princess Marie,
daughter of the Duke of Chartres 1t is pos
sible that the French Cabinet may make this
marriage ground for serious opposition to his
elevation to the Bulgarian throne. But in
England certainly there can be no objection to
the candidacy of the Prince 0f Waless brother
in-law: and Prince Bismarck, who denies the
claims of Princess Thyras husband to the title
of King of Hanover, will not stand In the way
of Prince Waldemars ambition. The
European Powers have been well pleased with
the success of one of the Danish princes in gov
erning Greece. They may be inclined to give
King Georges brother credit for the possession
Of similar talents. Since Greece and Bulgaria
are supposed to DO rival heirs to the heritage
of the Sultan's dominion in Europe, 1t may be
polite for the Powers to put Danish prince
on the vacant throne.

GENERAL GORDON SHOULDN'T

) General Gordon, the recently elected GoveI-
nor of Georgia, took the decayed carcass of
States Rights as the text Of his inaugural ad-
dress. That blasted doctrine has cost. one we'll
might think, about enough of blood and treas
urs. A million human lives and countless mill
ions of money we're the price paid for its ex-
tiuction. Certainly This is enough. And yet
General Gordon. inspired by the outcast Of
Beauvoir. takes conspicuous occasion to say
that the States must have enlarged powers F,
that Capitalization is being aimed at by the
opposition party. and that Capitalization means
the destruction of State independence"
These words are ominous. Coming from

The convention to promote the revival OF
American shipping, which met in Pensacoa
Yesterday, ought to derive some stimulus from
the results of the recent election. Among ihe
members of the House left at home are nun
her who were most cOnspic lous in opposing the
measure passed by the Senate at the last
session to aid in the establishment OF American
steamship lines The Free Traders naturally
favor the foreign at the expense OF the Aneri-
can steamship lines. The extension OF lines 10
Central and South America, as proposed Dy
the Republicans, would have been specially
beneficial to the South. Perhaps the people OF
that section will in time learn that blind adher-
ence to the Democratic party and its ancient
tenets is not profitable to tho South. Inc
growth of the protection sentiment there' due
to the manufactures whcn are creating ne"
South, and the increasing interest shown IN the
promotion of American steamship lines are
hopeful indications.

Farm Notes.

The Farm Journal is authority for the state,
ment that the 30 called "appetizers"' for fatten-
ing stock consist largely of sugar. All animals
like sugar, and will eat it when other food is
refused.
1t is asserted that "a mixture of lime in CLAW
soils has the effect of making them porous and
friable. Hence, by such treatment they are
made more workable, and are better fitted for
nourishing TIL life of plants. C1ays that harden
into solid Jumps after a shower of rain are little
better than rocks, in SO far as the food of plants
is concerned"
The Poland China is the favorite of the West
ern farmers, and the Husbandman says it is due
to the fact that the breed is not so closely inbred
as are the Berkshires and Essexes. There are
several strains of Poland Chinas, and thew are
all strong and somewhat heavy-boned, which ac-
counts for their vigor and hardness, the strictly
pure English breeds being bred fine in the bone
and too close to color.
Connecticut has recently passed a law making
barbed wire a legal fence if four wires are tightly
stretched upon posts set not further than six
teen feet apart and not nearer than five feet TO
any public highway. The bottom strand must
not be more than twelve inches from the ground
and the top one not less than forty eight inches.
To set such a fence nearer a public wav than
five feet the written consent of a majority of the
settlement of the town must be obtained.
