Norris hesitated. lie had never felt at

Edison. That secret belonged properly to
Uncle Amos, but the story of the porter and
his own conviction that Edison had been up
on the scene Of that dark nights work put
tbe matter in another light He was d.
vided between a desire to tell all he knew
TO Mr.. Everleigh, and the thought that he
ought first to consult with his uncle; but

She rose and walked hastily to the further

All Serene Again.

Presidency.
On the 4th of March next he will
occupy the Presidential chair.
The contest of 100000 of free.
men for the choice of Chief Magis-
trate is ended, and the country is
serene, just as it would have been had
Cleveland been re elected.
The people will now settle down
to their legitimate pursuits again,
and commerce, finance, industry and
trade will go on in the regular way
The people haye had their say,
and their Judgment is final. If they
have decided wisely they will sustain
their good work; if they have erred
in their decision, they will reverse ii
promptly.
All is serene again. The country
is safe, no matter who is President,
and the people will take care that ii
continues safe, whether Democrats
or Republicans rule.
The victory for the Republicans
appears to be complete. The Phil.
adelphia Times says that party has
carried not only President, but Sem
ate and House, and the party charged
with the national authority will be
unhindered in its work.
General Harrison has received a
majority of 65 in the Electoral Co.
lege, withthe possibility of adding
the 6 votes of West Virginia, which
would make his majority II.
The popular vote cannot be safely
estimated, but it eemsprobable that
Harrison will have from 10000 ia
$4,000 majority out of 100000
votes.

service reform or yield to the pres.
sure of the spoilsmen and make a
clean sweep, as far as the existing
law will allow him to- do so, remains
to be seen. It;s aPon this point that
the strength Of his moral backbone
will be first tested. He shoull not
fail to observe that even from the
practical standpoint the removal OF
the civil service from the domain OF
partisan politics will prove an adj
vantage. The Republicans in full
