Salvation of Ene1ish Society,

There is reason to believe that tho riah Englishman finds for his children in the great public schools the best antidote for the ener- vating influences of wealth. It may bo a schoolmaseer's view, but l have firm con viction that these schools have long been, and are, the real salvation of the upper classes of English society. Here 6 boz drops rank, wealth, luxury, and for eight or ten years, and for the greater part of each of these years, lives among his equals in an att mosphere of steady discipline, which usually compels simple and hardy life, and in . community where the prizes and applause are divided about equally between mental energy and physical vigor. Here respect and obedience become hAbitual to him; he learns to regard the rights of others and to defend bis own, to stand upon bts feet in the most democratic of all sccieties-a boy republic. Above all he escapss tho mental and moral suffocation from which 1t Is well nigh impos- sible to guard boys in rich and luxurious homes. s.-George R. 2arkin in The Century.

A WHITE HORSE,
And Why Merriam Did Not
Ride 1t.


Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER,, Oct. 21.-In making their
preparations for the rally of Saturday
night the Republicans were much at
sea as to how to head their procession.
John Rowley and A. T. Stebbins were
particularly worried about that. These
two debated it long and earnestly, and
finally decided that they would have
four white horses, they to ride two,
Merriam another. and so on. StebbinS
suddenly realized that this was, to say
the least. an arrangement that would
be personally uncomfortable and that
might, politically, make bad impress
sion upon the farmers who had to
walk. They then changed their plan so
that four white horses should draw a
carriage in which they and Merriam
should sit. But this was too million
airish, and not calculated to show the
yeomanry that Merriam was not dude,
but a hard-WOrked, oppressed capitalist.
Therefore = wired Mr. Merriam:
''Will YOU consent to walk and carry
q torch in the procession
White horses, red-headed girls, gay
companions and all were abandoned.
that not one hint might reach the
nGOuWlDk6u RTdl8eIS dS 10 TIE real
character of the Republican candidate
for governor. The state canvass here
shows united Democrats and a
party vote for Eugene Wilson, but very
little effort being made by the state
central committee to bring Republicans
to him who do not like Merriam. Speak
ers are needed and speakers do not
come to tell the people the truth. Mer-
RAM is not popular, but because the
people are not being educated to why
they should leave him, the old partisan
spirit prevails, and he Will get a vote
that could be taken away from him.
The incident that | have related as to
the white horses is a fair illustra-
ton of the methods used to awaken
popular enthusiasm for Merriam.
His supporters are afraid to present
him as a millionaire and banker
perfOrce then he gets down into the
mud and carries a torch while the pOpu-
lace yell at this evidence of his horny
handedneSs. II the Democratic state
central committee will confront this
sham with a dozen intelligent school
district speakers they can change 1000
votes before Nov. q. find by careful
inquiry that ali the people need is talk
ing to 10y honest men. 1t is incompre-
hensible that the opportunity should be
let pass. IL. l. c.

shrink back from a reassertion OF his
claims to popular confidence and
support, and all the more so inasmuch
as in the interval his public record has
by no means tended either to decrease
the alienation of his opponents within

respect which remains to him on the
part of his friends. BUT Mr.. Dun

CALEDONIA, Oct. 21.-As election

Houston county becomes more and more
assured.
The political issues are most clearly
defined and understood and discussed
IN all their bearings by intelligent
voters. The speciOus lies and sophis-

principles enunciated by the Demo
cratic party in this campaign, and will
vote the entire democratic ticket, as
well as for the nominee for congress.
The Democratic state ticket is growing
more in favor, also, as the campaign
progresses. Eugene NJ. Wilson's name
is a SYNONYM Of strength. The old
soldiers of his company are unbOunded
in their enthusiasm for him. They say
"a better or Drawer captain never wore
shoulder straps" and to man, regard
less of party, viii vote for him. Last

and will so remain to the end of the
battle. The defeat of their leaders is
ominOus of party defeat.

surprise and disappointment of thou
sands of voters in this district be has
falsifed his word. He has gone
into the canvass. and on every
stump has upheld protection. He
has preached its pretended bene-
fits. lie has planted himself squarely
on platform of free whisky and free
tobacco rather than in favor of re-
mOval of the taxes upon the neceSsarieS
OF life. He thus tramples upon the de-
mands OF the people. He has
thus forfeited the good will of every
honest tariff reform Republican. of
every independent voter and of every
man who places right and justice above
the success of any candidate or party.
Thomas Wilson pledged the
people two years ago to stand up for
tariff reform. and his record in con-
grtSS is an open book. Has he violated
thai pledge? Has he not stood side by
side with Knute Nelson and with
great ability and answering i'll

champion OF the people in Minnesota.

oI.MSTED COUNTY.
This county two years ago gave
Judge Wilson over $50 majority, and
here this year Dunnell is making
great attic to cut those figures down.
He is so interested in doing it that the
last night Of the campaign will be spent
here by him, and the Republican rally
Saturday night was final move toward
affecting the floating vote of the county,
which is considerable. The local
Democrats are well organized, and
have particularly strong legislative
tickets i'll the field. They are making
no boasts nor claims. When L was
here at the time of Dunnell's nOmina-
ton, it was hard to find a Republican
who favored him. Even the wisdom
weighted Sam Nichols said:
''Dunnell will have no walk-Over."
DIR. Leonard said to me then that he
might have 200 majority in the county,
but there was no wild enthusiasm dis
played. Here. as elsewhere, the pocket
vote is going to tell, and as to which
way it will go the Dunnell men at least
can not say. Olmsted has gone Repub-
lican and then Democratic, so that she
is debatable ground and the scene of
fierce battle. Ii. /. Z.

BLAINE,S FUTURE.

Speculation is rife, now that Harrison has been elected, as to the political future of James c. Blaine. The Maine states man, though he couldn't be elected presi- dent himself, is nevertheless regarded as ''the real leader" of the republican party. It is generally believed that to Blaine, more than any other one man unless perhaps addition, division and silence Quay, is General Harrison indebted for his success against President Cleveland. It was MT Blaine who sent back from Paris the answer to President Cleveland's tariff message last December, and it was he that sounded the keynote of the campaign. Again when he h nded on our shores, after his tray els in Europe, he sang the siren song of protection and lured the frightened toilers from the standard of tariff reform. All through the campaign has he labored with might and main to put General liar rison in the presidential chair, and now he has right to claim his reward. General Harrison is deeply indebted to Blaine and it may be expected that he will give him what recompense he wants.
 But what shall the reward be! It has been claimed that he would be made secre- tary of state, but perhaps General Harri- son will be less willing to peep from under Blaine's hat than he was from under his own grandfather's. If Blaine becomes secretary of state he will be practically regarded as the administration, and perhaps General Harrison will draw the line at playing second fiddle when he has a chance to lead the orchestra. If not secretary of state, what? There is no other place in the cabinet for him, and he will have the state portfolio or none at all. It has been sug- gested that he might be sent as the Ameri- can representative at the court of St James. It might be something of an anomaly to see the man whose political fortunes have enlisted Patrick Egan and Patrick Ford doing the lingo act right in her majesty'5 court, but it would be looked upon with complacent interest by the Irish people in America. And good many who like to see circus at any time would be interested in watching his course at Westminster. Those who have seen a bull in china shop can get some idea of the blue blazes Blaine could raise over there if he would only half try The only man that could beat him, and that some Americans would like 10 see sent to England, would be Ben Butler But if the buck eyed statesman from Lowell were to get Walters place they would make a pair of very lively B's.
 But Blaine has said that he does mt want anything from Harrison. And perhaps he means it. And then again perhaps he don't

REAL. RASCALS LET IN.

In looking over the causes that con tributed to the defeat of President Cleve- land the New York World finds one that is particularly true in its application to the nutmeg state. The World says
 Much disappointment was felt among the people at the failure of the administra- tion to meet many of the expectations that were reasonably cherished as result of the democratic success in 1884. The war cry in that campaign was "Turn the Rascals Out !" It was unquestionably dis heartening to the friends of honest and clean government to perceive that more real rascals were let in than were turned out The substantially undenied list of scandalous appointments made by the president or his subordinates-the natural result of the spells system-stopped the mouths of the sincere friends of reform.
 The appointments in Connecticut, with few notable exceptions, were no less dis heartening to the civil service reformers than they were disgusting to the democrats who had borne the brunt of the battle during many years of political strife. When it became known that Alexander Troup, one of the most slippery renegades ehoo O'CA buAAoU a tpoAAIlCdA COdt, udO drawn one of the fattest prizes in the dem ocratic grab-bag, there was howl of dis gust that didn't lose it's force even when it re-echoed within the very walls of the white house itself. And when it was an nounced that John c. Byxbee had drawn g pretty plum the disgust deepened, and a good many began to wonder whither the Connecticut democracy was drifting. And then our own Commerford We'll, let us draw the veil. The democracy of Water bury, even with this precious character strapped to its trump, did nobly But we suspect that Cleveland profted exceedingly by the promise made in this city two weeks before the election that there was a scow already built on which Commerford was to navigate Salt river in very short order.
 The World is right. It was the rascals that were let in, rather than the rascals that were not turned out, that did the bus mess. The political craft that carried such 8 load could not hope to float. But it is consoling to reflect that the whole gang will step to familiar music when they tramp out of office, locked step, to the dreary strains of ''The Rogues' March,"

ADMIRAL PORTER is practical man, and has very practical notions of naval war college. The best lecture room for naval apprentices, he observes, is the deck of a ship, where the officers could deliver lee lures through the speaking trumpet, which would stimulate the boys to handle masts and yards and furl sails quickly. The best gymnasium is the open double banked boat, which, while strengthening the mus cles, will teach the rowers that which is more important than handling dumb bells. Sailors, like shoemakers, are made by working.
