| II Moves On.
The NEXT Notwithstanding TO our
latest printed table the House stood 160
! Democrats 10 1G2 Republicans, with
three doubtful districts to hear from
the First California, Fourth Connecticut
and Tenth Michigan. Since the puhlica-
ton OF this estimate, Simmons, Demo
crai, has been returned from the Second
North Carolina district, which changes
the figures TO iGl Democrats and l6l Ne
publicans. Adyices have also been re-
ceiyed from California showing the cleo
ton Of Thompson, Democrat, in the
doubtful First district The figures
would then stand 1G2 Democrats to f6i
Republicans. In the meantime Judge
Montgomery Is In receip. OF a dispatch
announcing the probable defeat .ol
Fisher, Democrat, in the Tenth Mich
gan, changing the figures again TO l6>
Democrats and 1872 Republicans. In the
Fourth Connecticut district, hitherto
claimed as doubtful, Seymour, Democrat,
claims plurality Of 20, which would
give the Democrats 1913 votes, or bare
majority on organization. The election
of Atkinson, Republican, in the First
West Virginia district is not certainly
determined, and II may be ihai the final
classification will stand lGi Democrats to
lGl Republicans Washington Post.

Treasury That's all right.

An OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COLONEL
PEorLE.-The result OF the Presidential
ection offers a golden opportunity for
the colored people to demonstrate their
capacity for self control aud operation
in preserving peace and good order
throughout the country, especially 10 the
| Southern States, where they constitute a
large proportion of the population. The
temptations and indictments to which
they are exposed through the efforts OF
designing and unprincpled men TO ex-
! hibit their satisfaction over the election
of the Republican candidate in manner
offensive 10 their party opponents, are
full Of danger to themselves as well as a
source Of general unrest and trouble
The thinking, sober minds among the
cOlored people can scarcely fail to com
prehend with a very little reflection,
that nothing is to be gained by endeay
oring to stir up race snimosites merely
for the sake Of exulting over an adyer-
sary .-BallimCre Sun.
BENJAMIN B.-The most versatile
independent at present in public life
is doubtless General L. r. Butler. He
has represented in his time every politi.
cal party except the ProhibitiOnists, and
has run for office in turn as a Democrat,
Republican and Labor RefoFmer. In
bis excursions, however. he has pru
IDENTIFY managed 20 avoid bearing his own
campaign expenses, even In the melan-
ch0ly Labor diversion for the benefit
OF the Blaine campaign Of 1891 This
year he had become convinced that the
interests Of labor required the election
Of Harrison. and made several speeches
to that eiTeci.-New York Times.
ANARCaY's ANNIEERsARY.-Ana
in the United States has become enough
Of an institution 10 inaugurate series
of annual celebrations, the first one Of
which was observed in several cities last
Sunday. Very appropriately the date Of
the hanging Of the Haymarket
assassins in Chicago has been selected
for the purpose Al the demonstration
in Baltimore miniature scaifold was
made one of the stage attractions. This
was IN excellent idea. The more the
Anarchists keep this article Of penal
furniture in mind the better il will be for
lhem-N Y World.
