SPEAKER CARLISLE.

The face of the returns shows thai
Sneaker CARLISLE has been reelected tC
congress, but it was by the skin of his teeth
that he pulled through. Now Mr.. CAR
isles late opponent gives notice that he
intends to contest his seat, and this fact has
started all the political wiseacres to won
dering whether OF not MI CARLISLE will
be eligible to the next Speakership. So faI
as the mere question of eligibility is con-
cened there doesn't seem to be much room
for discussion. He will hold his seat in the
next congress by precisely the same kind OF
a title as that by which every other
member holds his. Consequently he
will be Just as eligible to the
Office Of speaker as any other member OF
the house. But the question of eligibility
is not the only one to be considered IN this
matter. Mr.. CARLISLE is placed in an
awkward position with respect to the
speakership of the next house. The very
meager majority by which he was returned
would suggest to sensitive nature the I'M
propriety Of forcing himself forward as
candidate. If the Democrats in the house
take Mr.. CARLISLE up as their candidate
for speaker, without any effort on his part
or any work on the part of his partisan
friends, then it will relieve him OF
the deicacy of the situation. But
the question is, will they want to do that?
In the first place. if Mr.. CARLISLE should
be made speaker. the house would have to
take into its own hands the appointment OF
the committee on elections. While 1t is not
probable that Mr.. CARLISLE'S contestant
will make out good case against him, still
such thing is possible. In that event the
Democratic party would be subjected to a
most abject humiliation in the sight OF the
whole country. In such an event the only
way to escape the humiliation Of unseating
the Democratic speaker would be to retain
him in power by the arbitrary action Of a
partisan majority, which would be more
disgraceful than the other would be m0rt-
fying. Mr.. CARLIsLE's qualifications for
the speakership are unQuestioned. His
ripe experience renders his services in that
capacity particularly valuable at this time.
But are his qualifications so pre-eminently
superior as to justify the risks involved In
his election to the speakership of the next
house? There will be other prominent
Democrats in the next congress who will be
qualified to fill the place. Minnesota will
send three, any one of would adorn that
position. or any other. What is the matter
with the genial Sunset Cox that he would
not grace the speakers chair? If it were not
for his peculiar tariff views, so antagonistic
to the Democratic idea, Mr.. RAND ALL
would make model speaker. But there
are number of other Democratic congress
men who are in accord with the party on all
questions, who could be elected speaker
without subjecting the party to any risks
by reason of their election. Under the cir
cumstances it occurs to US that the best
thing Mr. CARLISLE can do is to take
back seat until the claims Of his contestant
are passed upon and decided.

LONDON, Nov IA dispatch from

his grateful sense of the honor conferred
upon him by the sobranje in electing him
prince of Bulgaria. He states. however.
that the decision as to his acceptance rests

The Danish papers generally advise Prince

IL is announced that Prince Waldemar will
consult his family before deciding.
WHAT THE POWERS PROPOSE.
After the election of Prince Waldema
to the Bulgarian throne yesterday. the A u.s.
tran and German ambassadors at st. Peters
burg. were instructed by their governments
to inquire of Russia the name of the candi
date she favored as Prince Alexander's
successor. If Russia refuses to accept the
election of Prince Waldemar, or to nominate
another candidate, it will be cons dered
that she entertains DIES GINS against Bulgar-
ian independence, and in this event Eng
land, Germany, Austria and Italy will ar
live at all understanding similar to The one
that existed among them at the period of
the Berlin congress. Advices from st.

LETTING PUBLIC CONTRACTS

LETTING PUBLIC CON TRACTS.
The council committee on streets, the
committee on legislation and a committee
from the chamber of commerce will meet
this evening for the purpose of discussing
among other matters, the ACCESSIBILITY OF
letting during the coming winter of con-
tracts for work preparatory to the grading
and paving to be done in 1887. There are
many reasons why such plan should pre-
vail. The work to be done next year has
already been pretty well estimated and can
be easily mapped ont in detail thus far
ahead. Much can also now be done to IA
cilitate the more extensive improvements
which must be made later. Apart from
this there are many men. dependent upon
their days labor for support, who view
with the keenest apprehension the
approach of a severe winter during which
they may be unemployed The letting of
preliminary contracts now would give all of
these otherwise idle workmen an oppor-
tunity for earning comfortable livelihood
at time when they stand in the greatest
need of continuous employment. Both
then on the score of utility and because of
humane considerations, the COMMITTEES which
meet tonight should forward as far as pos
sible any plan which may have in view the
continuance during the winter of all prac-
ticable public improvements. 1t is simply
a consideration which the workingmen of
st. Paul have right to expect.

The Eg,tian Question.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE French continue
to discuss Lord Salisbury's declaration
about the British occupation of Egypt. but
all the comments are made in very mod
crate tone.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 1.-THE i'm
pending negotiations between Sir William
White, British ambassador to Turkey, and
the Porte, relative to the Egyptian ques-
ton. will, it is now stated, be completed
forthwith. according to the Instructions
given previously. The basis of the fresh
understanding will be the joint report on
the condition of Egypt TO be made by
Moukh0tar Pacha and Sir Henry Drum
mond Wolf, the special Turkish and Eng
lish ENJOYS respectively, who have been
for some time engaged in the work OF in
vestigatng Egyptian affairs. Their re-
port will deal with the workings of the
present Anglo Turkish convention in Egypt
and make suggestions as to how the re-
forms in the military, civil and other de-
partments of the khedive's government
specified in the convention can best be
carried into execution.
The Daily Telegraph saws:
Il French diplomat apparently with official
sanction, says that France maintains senti-
mental and commercial interests in Egypt,
and though DESTROYS of peace, is incensed at
the permanent occupation of Egypt BY Eng
land. A neutrality guaranteed by the powers
is desired by France.
The Paris Journal Des Debats says that
cordial negotiations are proceeding between
England and France in the direction of
friendly settlement respecting Egypt.

THE INDIANA TRICK.

The trick that the Indiana Republicans
are attempting to play to carry the legisla-
ture is not going to benefit them, but it will
bring the party into dsrepute. They do
not allege that there has been fraud in the
election. They confess that the Democrats
have a majority of the elected legislators.
They simply want to defeat the will of the
people by raising technical bubbles. One
Democrat, who was elected to the legisla-
lure. was justice Of the peace, and under
the Indiana constitution man cannot be a
Justice and a member of the legislature at
the same time. There is plenty of time for
him to resign his Office of justice before the
legislature convenes. But if he was dis
qualified, that would not entitle his de-
feated opponent to take his seat in the leg
islature. The people of that particular
district have a right to select their own rep
resentative. And the most that could be
done would be to order a new election.
But it will be found that even that will not
be necessary. The delegate who was elected
will take his seat, and the next Indiana leg
islature will proceed to elect Democrat to
succeed Senator BEN HARRISON in the
United States senate.

chairman. A statement of the work done
by the executive committee since the ma

From the East and the West, said Mr..
Griffin, the most encouraging reports come.
The anti-saloon address written by Gen. A. B..
Nettleton. which was published Oct. ID, has
been favorably received all over the country.
through the Associated Press, the Chicago
dulles, the Newspaper union, keilo2g's list,
the temperance and religious Journals and a
large circulation of pamphlet copies,
the address has reached the mass
of the people, and all over the
country 1t stands as the leading temperance
document OF the day. Indeed it has been

the saloon is strengthening in the East.
While in Massachusetts last week / was in
formed by leading RepCl licans that the anti
saloon element within the party had I'M
dOuhted!y prevented a Democratic victory
journalistic factors are solidy with us.
Prof. Dodge. of Kentucky, spoke of the
constant growth of the Republican party in
his state, and especially of the increasing
prevalence of temperance sentiment within
the party. Hon. j. B. Conner. of Indian
ap0liS, reported gratifying state of affairs
i'll Indiana. He said the Republican party
in that state had put itself on an anti saloon
platform last August, and the entire state
ticket and a majority of the legislature had
been elected thereon. Mr. Metcalf, of
Ohio. reported the situation in that
state as rather critical, and said
that unless the Republican party was
willing to exchange its liquor sympathiZers
for men of another stamp he feared the re-
suit would be disastrous. Mr.. EstahrOok,
of Nebraska. and Hon. p. II. Woodward.
of Connect cut, were elected members of
the national committee from their respect

was unanimously voted to remove the head

Second Auditor Days Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report Of Second Auditor w liam A. Day.
shows that during the last fiscal year the
sum of SIT. 673 46S was drawn out of the
treasury on acquisitions issued by the sec
rotary of war and Sc 372, 1872 was issued by
the secretary of the interior ON account of
Indian maintenance, leaving unexpended
balances of those accounts of SAP. 533 and
1924, oO3 respectively The auditor SAYS
that the accuracy and perfection of the
system Of records by which the public prop
erty OF the Ind All service is traced is evil
denced by the fact that only three packages
of the many thousands carried under con-
tracts of 1884 have failed to reach their
destination. 1t appears from the report
that while the clerical force of the office
was reduced from l91 to 1S1 during the
year the amount of money involved in dis
bursting officers accounts audited was in
creased from $40, or. $50 in 1885 to $29.-
363, 10S in 1856. The auditor saws that
several new classes of claims have been
presented during the year, the most I'M
portant OF which is that of officers and eX-
officers OF the army for reimbursement of
their pay accounts since 1888, in which
they shall be credited with whatever time
they may have served as cadets or as en-
listed men. As test to determine their
validity is now pending before the supreme
court, it is not deemed proper to pass upon
this class OF claims further than to say that
at least 1900 officers or their representa-
tiveS are interested. and that the cost of re-
adjusting the accounts on the basis claimed
to be proper by the officers would not be-
less than 81, 500 900.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Gen. Miles, In
his report on the Apache campaign, stated
that the soldiers of Capt. Lawton'S com
mand were materially crippled in their
efforts by the miserable shoes made at the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth. and
that the worthless material frequently fell
to pieces IN three or four days marching.
When this report was received at the war
department the attention of the military
PRISON board. OF which Gen. Terry is presi-
dent. was at once called to the matter. and
the board was directed to make thorough
examination and investigation of the cir
cumstances. The report of the board.
which is long and detailed, has been re-
ceIved at the war department and is now
before the secretary of war.

wALDEMAR'S WISDOM.

Prince WALDEMAK must be an old bird.
At least he is TOO old to be caught with
worthless chaff like the Bulgarian throne
The humber position of Danish prince is
much more tempting to his modest taste
than the glitter of throne without king
dom. The fate of ALEXANDER is likely 10
dampen the aspirations of all the young
European princes who may have had an
eye on Bulgaria. WALDEMAR's prudence
in this matter bespeaks him most judicious
young prince. and it would be a great pity
to see him sacrificed in the Bulgarian deal.

THE SITUATION IN CHICAGO

There are some unpleasant and discour-
aging features connected with the Chicago
labor troubles. The prospect of %, 600 la
boring men out of employment just as the
winter is setting in has an ugly look. Those
unemployed people and their families will
have to be fed and clothed. 1t would be a
thousand told better if they could be pro-
vided for by their own labor than that it be
done at public expense, or, in default Of the
city making provision for them. to incur the
risks that would necessarily follow from
having so large a number of idle people in
the city who will be driven to desperation
by cold and hunger. But there is another
ugly feature connected with the situation.
1t is the necessity for maintaining large
military force to keep the laborers in sub
lection The people of this country are
being made too familiar with the presence
of soldiery for the safety of the republic,
1t is a sad commentary on free government
when order can be preserved and peace
maintained only at the point of the bayo-
net. There is a screw loose somewhere in
our institutions when standing military
force is required to do police service in the
large cites. There is a very grave sus-
picion in the public mind that the necessity
for it does not exist every time the military
is called out. There is an apparent effort
on the part of the monOpolsts to get the
people accustomed to the presence of the
military. they knowing very well that when a
people once become Indifferent to their liber
ties their enSlavement becomes an easy
matter. But whether or not this has any
application to the condition of affairs in
Chicago. one thing is certain; if Chicago
can't afford a police service sufficient to
preserve the peace of the city, then the city
ought to surrender its charter.
