When the unfavorable intelligence

When the unfavorable intelligence
did begin to come it came like a
thunderbolt. We grinned and bore
1t like hero. but we felt all the time
as if we were being kicked by a big
mule, and were forcibly reminded of
the story of man who tried to teach
his his son how to shoot. His plan
was to fire off his gun, and get the
boy to fire at the same time until he
got used to it. The boy loaded every
time the old man did, but never
pulled the trigger at all. After awhile
the old man became disguised, and,
snatching the boys gun. pulled down.
Off went the gun and over went the
old man in the fence corner, heels up
ward. The boy, seeing this, hallooed
out, Hold her hard, dad; there's
six more to come ~ When the tele-
gram came announcing that New
York had gone for Harrison we tum-
bled over backward in the fence
corner and felt like that old man did.

persons against whom they are going
to'institute suit for the money wager

law is in force in Pennsylvania pro-
viding that where the authorities
have knowledge of such wagers they
shall bring suit against the winner
and it shall be applied to the support
of the poor of such county.

Let Joy be Unconfned.
New York Tribune.

New 1 OrR tribune.
We are rejOiced to see our Demo-
cratic contemporaries, who are not so
handsome as they were, but who are
endowed instead with the historic
compensation of knowing more, en-
tering so blithely into the fascinat-
ing pastime of Cabinet making.
They are not only causing their
parched columns to blossom with
sweet and harmless prophecies, but
they are affording much innocent
pleasure to a multitude Of excellent
Republicans who certainly cannot
expect to enj y long after March 4
the official distraction which is being
go generously thrust upon them now.
The fact that most of these will inev-
itabIy retire to private life early next
spring is the best of reasons why
their winter should be made as
attractive AS possible. A gentleman
who, according to latest returns, with
only a few back counties to hear
from, was elected President of the
United States on November 6, will
eventually have something to say on
the subject ; but there is no ground
whatsoever for surprising that he
would prematurely interrupt so,
many alluring plans.
The distribution of offices is not
the only diversion with which our
friends Of the opposition are making
existence tolerabIe. They are like
wise engaged in the delightful occu-
patton of arranging all sorts of jolly
expeditions for General Harrison, for
which, we are sure, he is duly CRATE
full. Row can it fail to stimulate the
Imagination and give zest to life
to read about yourself as destined to
he in nine or ten different places in
the immediate future. and in all at
the same moment? A man who has
been elected to the Presidency has a
right to think well of himself, hut
such an elevation is mere nothing
in comparison with the power to an
initiate time and space. Electricity
is a pretty capable agent, but yet its
velocity is apprecable and it has to
knuckle under to the fundamental
entities. How much more satisfac-
tory, therefore, is it to be President
elect than to be an imponderabIe
fluid with well defined limitations.
And then, what fun the Democrats
are having with Blaine. 1t seems
rash to say so, but we really think
they never had so much fun with
him before in the whole course of his
life. They are sending him to the
Court of St. James, and burying him
in the forests of Maine installing
him in the United States Senate, and
stripping him to the blows of fate in
his own back dooryard 4: seating him
IN a magnificent new chariot with
General Harrison lashed to the
wheels. and hanging him to a lamp
post behind the State Department.
Putting him in the Speakers chair.
and sending him in a swift gallop
through the gates of death. There
never was such sport before it's per.
fectly exhiIirating. Go on with the
game, gentlemen nobody objects,
and you are making the biggest score
on record.

Democracy's App0mattox.

Dem0craCy'S ADp0matt0x.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The Democratic party can never
regain power in the National Govern
ment within the next quarter of a
century. We presume no sensible
member of that organization will ser
iousIy question the truth of this re-
mark. Within the next three or four
years the Territories of Dakota,
Washington and Montana will be adj
| mitted to Statehood. Dakota will
probably come in as two States, both
of which will be strongly Republic.
can.
Washington and Montana have
also been carried by the Republicans
on the Congressional ticket, and both
are destined to range themselves
alongside the Republican States.
Some of the most alert and inteli-
gent residents of the Eastern and
Central group of States have been
emigrating to these territories, and
the majority of their population will
be made up of that class of citizens,
The surroundings, associations and
entire social environment of each
will be Republican. and as States
they will gravitate naturally into the
Republican column,
By the admission into the Union
of the two Dakotas, Washington and
Montana twelve electoral votes will
be added to the Republican total, al
lowing for but one member from
each in the popular branch of Con-
gress. When the apportionment
based upon the census of 1890 is made
the Dakotas together will probably
get about five additional members of
that body, if the present quota of in
habitants to each Representative be
maintained.
Washington and Montana, in that
event, would also gain one additional
member apiece. This would give
nineteen Electoral votes to the Re-
publican party, in addition to those
by which that organization carried
the election in the canvass just closed.
This gain alone would give the cleo
ton to the Republicans in any con-
tingency at all likely to arise.
But the Republicans will have an
even greater advantage than this in
all future canvasses. Missouri, the
two Virginias and Tennessee has
given Bourbon majOrities for the last
time. Forces are at work in each of
these States which will inevitably
and permanently place them in the
Republican group before the next
Presidential year comes round. Man
ufacturing industries are rapidly on
the increase in all of them, and in all
of them the immigration is princi-
pa!ly from Republican communities.
The Democratic pluralities in all
have been steadily dwindling in the
past few years, and in the election
just held they had almost reached
the vanishing point. Long before
the next Presidential nominations
are made the four States here named
with Connecticut and Indiana in adj
ditiOn, will have made their final
break from the Bourbon organiza-
ton, Unless blunders and follies in
party management are made by the
Republicans in the interval, few of
the middle.aged men WIN cast their
ballots In the recent election will live
to see the inauguration of another
Democratic President.

The Inauguration OF Harrison.

WASHINGTON, Noy. 22.-The war;
ious committees that are preparing
for the Inauguration of Harrison and
Morton have been at work for several
days and have already made a good
deal of progress with the Preliminary
arrangements. 1t is proposed that
the Inauguration of March 4 next
shall he surrounded with pOmp and
pageantry that will completely
eclipse all previous displays of the
kind. Private subscriptions will de-
fray the expense. Much anxiety is
felt here that the entire division of
the Pennsylvania National Guard
will attend the coming inauguration,
as they did that OF Cleveland. 1t is
not believed that the question of the
cost Of transportation will he allowed
to stand in The way of their attend
ance.
A great deal Of money will tes9ent
on the next Inauguration, and Capt.
George E. Lemon, the chairman Of
the Finance Committee, is working
hard to raise it. He estimates that
at least 5000 will be required, but
he believes that enough will be real
lied from the sale of tickets and
privileges 20 insure the return of this
amount to the subscribers. Capt.
Lemon says A:
"A public ceremony of this nature
requires money and great deal OF it.
The necessary and unavoidable ex-
penseS arising from the mere pres
ence in the city of 80 great a crowd
are very large. The public comfort
must be cared for, accommodations
for the press provided, and buildings
street and other decorations, ilIumi-
nations, fire works, badges, clerk hire,
stationery, telegraphing, &C., demand
a great sum In the aggregate. At
Gariield'S inauguration the street
decoration was oyer $4,000, fireworks
and illuminatiOnS s., 200 and other
expenditures raised the total TO $780,
OGG.GO. At LleVeIand's inauguration
the disbursement were $69, S49 g.,
Taking tie last as criterion, and L
think 1t is very fair one, for while
everything was done we'll there Was
no waste or extravaganza. L do not
see how we can get along with a cent
less than $4,000. We should have
more rather than less. All that we
want now is a guarantee fund which
will protect those Of us who take the
responsibility of making necessary
contracts. This is the customary way
of proceeding. We do not expect
that the subscribers to this will in the
end have to pay dollar, as in all
probability their subscriptions Will
be returned to them. This was the
case four years ago and also eIsht
years ago, and | think has been the
rule. The committee placed in
charge of the affair are all solid busl-
ness men, and we have no doubt of
our ability to manage it with as much
financial success as our predecessors.
The receipts from The sale of tickets
to the ball and to the stands along the
street and for bail privileges, etc. will
without doubt fully cover all the out
lay. They have done so in the past,
and the unusual demand already be-
ing made for these tickets and priviI-
eyes iustifies Us in going to greater
expense than our predecessors"
