GEN. sANBOnN's LETTER.

Gen. SANBoRN's communication to
the GLOBE this morning is good dessert
to the tariff feast our readers enjoyed
during the campaign. Coming from a
gentleman of such distinguished ability
and pronounced Republicanism, it will
naturally receive, the attention it
merits, and its contents will be the sub
ject of thoughtful study. Gen. SAN
BoRN is not one of those who believe
that tariff reform is a dead duck. He
recognizes, as all good citizens must,
that when the tariff tax is greater
than the actual necessities of the
government require it can be nothing
short of legalized robbery. The Re
publican party has now the opportunity
to demonstrate whether or not it pos
sesses the Inherent power to fulfill the
popular demand for tariff reform. If it
is so mixed up in the meshes Of eorpo-
ration influence as to be un able to ac-
complish this object, then sooner OF
later party that will obey the popular
behest will succeed to the control Of the
government.

THE WISCONSIN VOTE.

An analysis of the vote in several
counties in Wisconsin, supplemented by
a variety of facts, is believed to show
that the popular impression that most
of the Prohibition vote was to come
from the Republicans was one of the
delusions that befogged the Democratic
vision before the election and added to
the shock that emanated from the bal
lot boxes. 1t appears quite conclusively
that the bulk of the Republican vote
that started out on the arid line fell
back, and left the confiding Democrats
to carry the FISK banner and bring dis
aster to the party. They don't seem to
have quite understood that Democratic
encouragement was for Republicans
exclusively.

THE GOOSE Rome.

The past month has thrown the
goose bone into discredit as weather

have in November. and ice and snow will be

Matched in April, and killed after the ldes of

The Countess Gianotti.
Paris Letter.

Paris Letter.
A very successful and happy mar
rage has been that of Miss Constance
Kinney, of New Jersey, to Count Cesare
Gianotti, now First Chamberlain, and
always dearest friend of King Humbert.
This lady, a handsome blonde, capti-
waited the young officer of the Italian
army somewhere on the Italian lakes,
about sixteen years ago. She has had
an exceptionally happy aud distin-
guished life. The king has always
been very kind to the Gianottis. and
their house is full of his regard for
them. The queen stood as godmother
to the two young countesses, and gave
them each watch decorated with her
own monogram. Every year the Coun-
tess Gianotti visits the queen at the
Palazzo Reale, Milan, and bears testi-
mony to her delightful private character,
tireless industry. her splendid accomp-
lishments, and to that patriotism and
love of Italy which makes both king
and queen so dear to their subjects.
Count Gianotti is considered the hand
soonest blood man in Italy. He is man
of fine manners, amiable temper, one
of the best of husbands and of friends,
and a faithful and devoted servant to
his beloved king.

Secretary Whitney Now Says the
United States Will Soon Have
Plenty of Commerce Destroy

ers.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3d. Secretary
Whitney has presented his annual re-
port to the president. After giving a
brief review Of the condition of the navy
as it will exist on the fourth day of
March. 1889, in comparison with the
same as it existed on the fourth day of
March, 1885, and furnishing list of
armored vessels heretofore authorized
by congress, the secretary says: so
far as armored ships are concerned, the
subject is yet to be treated In broad
way by the department and by congress.
At the present time the conditions are
such that everything necessary to a
first-cIass lighting ship can be produced
and furnished to the department in
this country as soon as in the
course of construction any ele-
ment of feature is required; but
this has never heretofore until the pres
ent time been true, and therefore the
consideration of the subject has been
necessarily postponed by the depart
ment until the present time. The eff
forts of the department in ship con-
Struetion have necessarily, since March,
1885, been devoted to unarmored YES
sells, and as to these the department is
able to report that when the ships i'll
course of construction and those
authorized shall have been completed,
the United States will rank second
among the nations in the possession of
dn-
streyers,' having the highest character
upwards, and possessing speed of nine
teen knots and upwards" With re-
gard to the production of power by ma
chinery the report says: IAN eyamina-
ton of the state of the art in 1885 led to
the conclusion that the machinery of
naval vessels ought to be so designed
as to produce ten-horSe power for each
ton of machinery: and it was
determined to make that the standard,
and to enter into no contracts that were
not based substantially thereon. All
the contracts for the construction of
ships which have been entered into
since March, 1885, call for the produc-
ton of power by machinery equal to the
highest standards. The efforts of the
department in this matter have been
cordially seconded by the bureau chiefs;
and it is believed that at the present
time the department has reached the
point where entire reliance can be
placed Oh it for the production of war
vessels equal in character TO those of
any other country. 1t is gratifying to
be able to report that, notwithstanding
the large expenditures for the new navy
in the last three years, the reduction in
other directions has made the total eX-
penditures of the department less than
for these years for the three years
ending June SO, 1884. the ordinary eX-
penses of the department having been
reduced more than 20 per cent

THE HUsHED SONG.

know the song my ST.. Jeart sings;
The melody unheard OF men,
That sometimes on aerial wings,
Will burst its bonded silence; when
All hearts will thrill with ecstacy,
All ears will catch the glad refrain.
And lips grown dull will sing with me
Its subtle sweetness DER again.
/ may not voice it now; for pain
Is still a long abiding guest.
The fetteFed song would rise IN vain
Amidst the storm of wild unrest;
But sometime, whether IL be here,
Or on some further lambent shore,
Ny song will burst its prison drear,
And over grief eXultant soar.
And so / bide my time; / know
The world would laugh if should claim
In this poor heart are thoughts.that glow
To gem the glittering crown of fame.
The somber shadows mark my life,
And leave unheard the world Is applause |;
But vet, beneath the ceasciess strife
And hurt of pains relentless laws,
So deep doth live this song of mine,
So rare, so sweet, SO fraught with love,
Twill waken all th~ songs of time
And lead them, worshipers, above;
Aud some time l shall see it lift,
The prison bars that round me lie,
Aud, fetterless within the rift,
We two shall live-my song and /.

Where the Mugwump Came From.

Harper's Weekly.
American Notes and Queries recently
answered the question of the origin and
significance of the word Mugwump. In
its original form, mugquomp, it be-
lOnged to the dialect of the Algonquin
Indians. and in appears in EliOt's trans
lation of the Bible into Indian Cam
bridge, Mass, 1G6D, as q rendering of
the Hebrew word signifying leader, and
rize its appropriation by the famous
Century club, of New York;. The Notes
and Queries says that Jesuit father,
peralexen to traslate into Indian the
sentence, mot to think more highly of
himself than ne ought to think" con-
suited an Indian parishioner, who said
at once, sMugwump." 1t adds that it has
heard of petition presented to Peter
Stuyvesant, signed by an Esapus chief,
which bore his title, Mugwump.
The word, according to the Notes,
fingered along the Long Island shore
and the Massachusetts coast after the
Indians had vanished, in the sense of
man who thought himself of conse-
luence. Mr.. keenan,, editor of the IN
dianapolis Sentinel, found the word in
New England IN 1872 and used it in the
headline for an article treating of big
wig in local politics. and in March. 1881,
it was applied by the New York Sun to
a person Interested in some local issue
at Dobbs Ferry. calling him ''Mugwump
ID. o. Bradley"
We remember seeing a similar appli-
cation of the word in report of polt-
ical affairs in Connecticut at about the
same time in 1884. A little later, imme-
diately upon the nomination of Mr..
Blaine, protest of Republicans was
made in Boston which developed into
the independent movement. The bolt
ers were dubbed mugwumps, in deri-
sion. They were much too sensible not
to accept the name. which, as indicating
conscientious Independence i'm politics,
has become title of honor.

THE romantic views quite commonly
taken by Prohibitionists cannot be at
tributed to any unhealthy exhilarant,
but are not calculated to enlist the con-
fidence of the conservative classes.
Notable illustrations were had of the
point in the fanciful figures that were
to come from the ballot boxes. AT the
recent anniversary of the debut of
FRANCIS MURPHY as temperance
evangelist, it was stated that his efforts
had secured 100000 signers to the
temperance pledge. That is a loose use
of figures, like the million of votes to be
given FISK. Temperance in speech is
becoming. as well as in the use OF intox-
icantS.
