The Presidential Election Had Less
Depressing Influence Oh Trade
Than Any Ever Before-A
Good 0utIOok

New York Nov. Or. G. Dun & Co.'S re,
view Of trade for the week says: Tho election
has so far interrupted business during the
past week that comparisons with the cor.
responding week last year are misleading.
Nevertheless, the volume Of legitimate busi.
ness has been wonderfully well maintai ned
during the past week, hs during the whole
political campaign. The presidential contest
of1SSS goes into history as having disturbed
current trade less than any previous contest,
although it turned largely upon industrial
and commercial questions, and was generally
considered doubtful to the very end. And this
Is more remarkable because In months preccd-
ing those OF the political excitement specula.
tlon had been unncually active and extrava.
has come q more confident tone to many
branches Of business, and larger trade with
improving prices is usually anticipated as a
result of the postponment Of many operations
and purchases in the past month. Reports
from the interior points generally recognize
the political excitement as a .suficient cause
Of the quiet in trade during the, past week.
Of transactions was large for only five work
Ing days. AT all cities reporting, money con-
tinued in fair or active demand, while scarce
ly anylcomplaint of stringency Is heard, and
collections, though somewhat interrupted,
have been on the whole satisfactory, with an
improvement noted In several cases. The
large volume Of currency In circulation, to-
gether with the temporary inactivity OF
speculation EXPLAINS the matter; and an
official statement shows that tho circulation

The Country may as we'll make up its mind
that Harrison Is to be President for the next
four years, and that the Democratic party has
been relieved after a single term Of power
Beyond question, this Is the result OF the Is
sue made by Mr.. Cleveland's tariff reform

Will show what progress the principle OF tar
IF reform and tax reduction has made among
the masses. The tariff looms up everywhere
as the trojan horse from which issued the
hosts that overcame the party that led them
into its midst Senator German says 1t cost
Cleveland twenty thousand votes In New York
city, and nearly as many in the state. It re-
duced the Democratic majority in New Jersy,
and came near costing the party the state oil

versus protection answers its purpose In the
defeat Of the Democrats. That the tariff lost
us in New York, there Is no doubt. AS an in

longshoremen alone more than accounts for
the loss Of the state. The river districts ol

not be held. They poll a very large vote, and
had they stood with the Democracy on the
national, as they did on the state ticket,
Cleveland would have received the electoral
vote of New York, and thus been reelected
There are many other such instances which
demonstrate beyond doubt that the Democ-
racy owes Its losses to the inopportune spring.

A House Built OF Paper.

There is a paper house in Atlanta.
No wood, brick, iron or other material
is used about the building. At l08 De-,
catur street neat little store, painted
sky-blue, has attracted considerable
attention for the past week. The gan-.
dy color is not the cause Of, the little
building being the object of 80 much
attention, but the material of which;
it is constructed makes it q novelty.
1t is made entirely of paper. The
store is owned by Mr.. August SiDcoys,
and was built by Frenchman named
Smith Spelled, of course, in French
way), who is agent for the paper Of
which it is constructed. The rafters,.
the weatherboarding, the roof and the.
flooring are all made of thick, COM
pressed paper boards, impervious to.
water and as durable as wood. The
house cannot catch on fire as easily as
a wooden building, because the surface
of the paper is smooth and hard. The
house is used as a store by Neal Kelly:
who says he finds it warm in cool wealth:

of Bishop Hendrix to the class for ad-
mission into the Missouri Conference
deserve to be written in gold. They
are the heart of this whole matter OF
preparation and fitness to preach. Per-
sonal nearness to Christ, this is the key,
the secret, the sum of it all. Not great
ability nor great talent, but great piety
is essential to Christian minister.

The response to requests from the Ne,Us and
Courier for their opinion of the effect OF Harri'
sons election on the South, the following re-
plies have been received from editors of lead
ing Southern newspapers:
GALVESTON, November 8.-Special: In nm
editorial tomorrow morning the News Will
say:
"As regards the successful candidate for the
Presidency there is much cause for reaSsur-
ance in the personal history and known char-
actcr of the man. Under the most searching
tests he has not been iound wanting In firm
ness, courage, STABILITY or integrity. 1t is
scarcely reasonable to apprehend that such
man, clothed with the responsibility of the
Presidential office, will deliberately lend him
self to n policy designed to destroy the do
mestic peace and the material presper,ty, OF
politicians. such as Sherman in Ohio and
kelley, OF Pennsylvania, consulting the views
and ambitions Of Northern manufacturing
and moneyed interests, will endeavor to dis
solve the Democratic solidity OF the South BY
policy OF Cancellation and forbearance rath-
er than of interference and exaspertion with

Extracts from Christian Neighbor
The Contest is Over

So far as the election for President
and Vice President is concerned. BY
the election of last Tuesday week, No
vember 6, Benjamin Harrison was
chosen President over Grover Cleve-
land and Levi P. Morton Vice Presi-
dent over Allen G.. Thurman.
The result of the election has made
some of the people glad and others
sad. A per cent. Of the people, we
presume, are simply satisfied, and
would have felt about the same way if
the defeated party had been victorious.
The greater number of the people will
probably do as we'll under Harrison as
they would under Cleveland-and nice
versd. The wisdom of the majority
who chose Mr.. Harrison over Mr..
Cleveland is not in the fact that the
Republicans outvoted the Democrats
that is yet to be made manifest. The
four years following the 4th of next
March will reveal the character and
administrative ability Of the President
elect and of those who cooperate with
him in giving the people "Repub-
lican" administration.
So far as the chief rulers and their
subordinates fear God, love mercy,
walk humbly and do justly in the
coming administration so far will they
do their part in exalting the nation.
To this end all the people should CO.
operate in effort and in prayers for all
that are now or may then be in author
ity, that we may have quiet, peace and
prosperity in our land. Let not the
success of one party or the failure of
the other party affect the patriotism of
either, and let not the patriotism of
any conflict with obedience to the
teachings Of the Prince of Peace and
Savior of men, before whose judgment
seat we shall all stand and give an &C
count for the deeds done in the body.
If the several parties in the recent
canvass would put forth efforts to
have Christ rule over this country cor
responding to the efforts made for the
election of their several candidates,
what happy people we would be-!
According as a people submit to the
government of Christ they reduce the
necessity for human government and
for civil rulers.

Secretary WhftneY,s Opinion.

Secretary Whitney came to his office very
early. His return was uneXpeced, and Mt the
friends. When Commodore Harmony called
on him, Mr. Whitney said: :"Well commodore
We've nothing to congratulate ourselves up
on" Later caller was given to undcrstano
| that the loss Of New York was dne to the fact
that the workingmep had not been properly
educated as to the tariff, aud they were mere
to believe that Democrats Were mere free ira
ders, instead OF mere trade -eductionistS. The
secretary remained in his Office but short
time when he left for home.
JUSTICE LAMAR GIVES UP.
Mr.. Lamar was asked what he thought ofthe
election by q number Of newspaper men. IL
am not one of those" said he, who are always
waiting and hoping for something better y
against them. Everything points to Harrl-
sons election, and l don't think that there
| will be any change in the results. believe
that later Information will make 1t mere
favorable for Harrison. 1t Is great surprise
| to me, and don't think the tariff issue Is re-
sponsible for the defeat of the Democratic
| party. In regard to the tariff, l remember
reading, with great interest," the testimony
was struck with the fact that there was not a
single one of the number of manufacturers
| examined who did not admit that his busl-
ness could stand at least small percentage
| of tariff reductions. Ofcoursc, q mans state.

would do. 1t was O reform measure, ana not

| COL. LAMONT PREFERS SOLITUDE.
Col. Lamont spent the greater part OF the
| day in Operator Montgomery's room. This
place was carefully guarded from lntruders.
Whenever the door opened the click OF the
| instrument was heard going ut q rapid rate:
A glance was had of Mr.. Montgomery, and
| he appeared to be a much used-up man. n
note was sent into the colonel for the purpose
of getting an interview with him on the Sit
uation, but 1t was no 60. 1t was returned TO
the scndor with the bare statement that inc
colonel had "nothing to say"
BAYARD IS SILENT, TOO.
Secretary Bayard could not be seen, and
when a card was sent in to him 1t was return
ed with the words, "Have nothing TO say"
Acting Secretary Of the Treasury Thompson
begged to be excused from talking. II have
nothing say" he remarked; Gin fact nothing
an be said until the returns are all in"
Attorney General Garland was as discreet
and guarded as he could be, and get out OF

talk was that he could not say anything other
than what had been already spoken OF In the
