While the actual figures were not known even
In some Of the most important states, the re-
turns received this morning from the election
that was held yesterday indicated the success
OF the republican, party, not only as to its presi-
dental ticket but also in securing majority in
the next House Of Representatives. Later dis
patches may make q change in some OF the
states, but it is not believed that the result thus
indicated will be changed.
The Electoral Vote.
The electoral votes Of the different states
viii probably be given as follows:

The State Believed to Have Given
Plurality for Harrison.


The interest in the result in New York was
very great, both because it has the largest
number Of electoral votes of any state in the
Union, and also from the great efforts made by
both parties to carry it. 1t was generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Morton, the republican vice.
presidential candidate, was nominated solely
for the purpose of carrying New York, while on
the other hand, Mr.. Cleveland's popularityin
his own state was thought by the democrats to
make il sure for them. The returns up to this
morning, while by no means complete, indi-
cate that the state has gone for Harrison by
majority variously estimated from 10000 to
$1,000. Mr.. Cleveland fell below Hill on the
democratic ticket, and the latter is probably
elected governor. In the mayoralty contest in
New York city, Grant, the Tammany candidate,
was elected.
The first complete returns were obtained
from Kings County, and the result for the
presidency was as follows:

that the returns from the state were unprece-
dentedly slow. Chairman Payne, of the repub-
lcan state committee, still holds to his estimate
Of 20, 600 for the Harrison electoral ticket with
Howard for governor somewhat behind. Chair
man Usher, OF the democratic state committee,
says scattering returns give net democratic
gain Of $40, and he says the democratic esti-
mate is more than reached so far The vote
in the fourth Congressional district mil
waukee) will be close, but indications point to
the election of Van Schaick, the republican can
didate, by q small majority.
Both Parties Claim West Virginia.
In West Virginia there was fusion betwee n
the democrats and union labor men in the hope
Of securing three members of the legislature
who would vote for democratic United States
Senator. Full returns will probably not be re-
ceived before tomorrow. At midnight there
were not sufficient returns from the interior of
the state to determine, with any certainty, the
result. Chairman Cowden, Of the state repub-
ican committee, says that he is confident that
the state has gone republican. Chairman
Riley, Of the democratic committee, says the
majority for Cleveland will be larger than in
1884
Big Democratic Majority I'm Alabama.
The indications are that Alabama has given
democratic majority Of 10000 to 5000. All
the democratic nominees for Congress have
been elected Clark in the first, Herbert in
the second Oates in third, Turpin in the
fourth, Cobb In the fifth, Bankhead in the
sixth, Forney in the seventh, and Wheeler in
the eighth.

Valuable Historical Contribution.

Naples is pretty good town to stand
off and look at from the bay. 1t is
located on the brow of a hill, extend
ing from the Costello del Orc to the
top of the CapOdimonte, and, ranged
around the semi-circular hills as it is,
it reminds me forcibly of Tompkins-
vile, Staten Island.
The newer streets of Naples are
quite pretty and extend several miles
out beyond the town, like those of
Fargo, Dakota, where sidewalks sew
eral hundred miles in extent were
built at the expense of the county. In
this way Fargo lad sidewalks that ex-
tended for miles in every direction
through the neighboring farms, and
the county paid for them. Fargo has
been striving ever since to live up 20
her SIDEWALKS. Aside from this there
is little similarity between Naples
and Fargo. The old streets of Naples
are narrow and crooked, and the
houses are so high that ripe pome-
granate dropped from the roof on the
plug hat of passing tourist is perma-
nently impaired and the hat Frustrated.
Neapolitan people formerly used the
Toledo, a street now called the Roma,
for a kitchen, dressing-room, bath
room, front hall, and storm-door.
Here they ate, drank, slept, washed,
and undressed their children, begged,
died, roasted chestnuts, and prepared
their macaroni and lazzaroni for the
American market.
Naples claims to be the leading
lazzaroni vineyard of the world. We
try TO initiate her in New York, but
we fail. We have poverty enough in
New York and fluent, eXtemporaneous
beggars as well as more or less disease,
but we have not been able so far to
unite our poverty and disease in such
way as to successfully initiate the
picturesque lazzaroni OF the East.
Our poor people in America are too
robust and our invalids are too many
of them wealthy. So long as it is that
way Europe and Asia will do our laz-
zaroni business in spite of all we can
do to prevent it.
We can get up fair specimen to
look at, but it lacks age and the air of
travel, as well as the pleasing NAL
formations peculiar to the lazzaroni
biiouterie of the Old World. l some
times think that the reason Naples so
long retained the supremacy over
other cities in this line was largely
due to the stimulation resulting from
the close competition between Vesuvius
and the local talent of the lazzaroni in
the matter of eruptions. Naples was
at one time the county seat Of duke
dom, but there was no call for a duke
dom in that part of the country and so
it was succeeded by a dynasty. The
Suabian dynasty was successful and
made money rapidly. There was
good deal of suffering among the poor
people, but the dynasty did well and
accumulated considerable property.
When Charles III. entered Naples
in 1884 he is said to have found 10000
thieves. They had stolen everything
but Vesuvius and were getting SO COG
pairs of sheet iron mittens made when
Charles entered the city. In 1860
Garibaldi entered the city, and later
on Naples was annexed to the Consti-
tutional Kingdom of Victor Emmanuel.
1t has improved a good deal since.
1t overlooks the Bay of Naples and is

Oatmeal at Homo and Abroad.

In making oatmeal porridge. the
meal is stirred into boiling water with
a porridge stick, while the water is
kept all the time at brisk boil. Care
should be taken to prevent the meal
from forming knots, as it will do if
dropped into the water in too large
quantities. The best way is to take a
handful of the meal and let it drop
into the receptacle by the rubbing of
the thumb against the fingers. At
first the water will show ebullition or
boiling up soon after the meal begins
to 90 into it, and this will be kept up
until about the time when enough of
the meal has been added. Fine meal
is more likely to knot than the coarse
meal. 1t takes experience to tell when
just the amount of meal needed has
been used, the thickness of the por-
ridge being the test. No measurement
of water and meal will do. The oat-
meal may be stirred in cold water be-
fore cooking, but this makes more la
Dor and the cooking is not so we'll done
as in the other way. But~if the cold
water mixing is resorted to, the meal
should be ground to the finest flour.
If any other meal is mixed with Oat-
meal, as is sometimes done, rice meal
is regarded rs the best, though bar
ley, bean, pea and wheat meals may
be used. Only small quantity of the
rice meal should be used, but straight
oatmeal would be preferred by the
true lover of this cereal.
Acidity is developed when oatmeal
is soaked in water for a few days, and
this meal makes the ''fummerv" of the
oatmeal districts of England, Scotland
and Ireland.
Milk is used instead of water in max
ing mill p0rridge; less meal is re-
CURED, but more water. Ale is also
used in place of water. Porridge is
eaten mixed with milk, and in the old
countries, with beer. Cane syrup and
butter are also used.
In making water brose," boiling
water is poured on handful of oat-
meal in bowl, until the mess is of
the thickness of porridgc, and then
some new milk is poured in. This is
to be eaten immediately. Brose meal
should be kiln dried and coarse. The
art of making this dish lies in max
ing the boiling water fully surround
each pdtGlcic OF meal aG inc llfSG pour
ing Milk brose is made by using
boiling milk; less meal is used than in
water brose and about twice as much
milk as water. In pouring the boiling
liquid upon either water or milk brOse,
the meal is stirred to give it immediate
cooking. When the liquid in which
| beef or mutton is boiled is used, beef
or mutton brose is made, and even tur-
| nip and cabbage water is used.
White pudding is made of oatmeal
with which minced suet and onions
have been mixed, salt and pepper be-
ing used to taste. This may be done
in saucepan, but the mixture is
more commonly stuffed into small in
testines, cut into lengths of foot or
so, tied at both ends, and boiled in a
pot. 1t will keep for year. Finally
the water in which it is boiled is used
in making pudding brose, that nothing
may be lost. These are the ways in
| which oatmeal is cooked in ''auld Scot
land. = Good Housekeeping.

American and British Pirates.

Come now, what your cause needs is
that some apparent sufferer shall say q
fair word for the other side. That
complaint which cannot hunt up a dis
senting voice anywh here is out of luck.
A thing which is all good or all bad is
properly an object of suspicion in this
world; we get 4 sort of impression that
it is off its beat; that it belongs in the
next world, above or belOW-climate
not suited to it here.
English pirates have hurt me some
what; how much | Go not know. But,
on the other hand, English law has
helped me vastly. Can any foreign
author of books say that about Ameri-
can law? You know he can't.
Look at the matter calmly, reasona-
bly,. As l infer from what you say
about your article, your complaint is
that American authors are plrated in
England. Well, whose fault is that?
1t is nobodys but the authors. Eng
land furnishes him a perfect remedy;

author can go to Canada, spend three
days there and come home with an
English and Canadian copyright,
which is as strong as if it had been
built out of railroad iron. If he does
not make this trip and do this thing,
it is confession that he does not
think his foreign market valuable
enough to Justify the expense of secur-
ING it by the above process. Now, it
NAV turn out that the book is present
" pirated in London. What then?
Why, simply this-the pirate has paid
that man a compliment; he has thought
more of the book than the man thought
of it himself. And doubtless the man
is not pecuniarily injured, since the
pirate would probably not have of
cred anything for the book if it had
been copyrighted, but would merely
have left it in oblivion and unpub-
lished.
l believe, and it stands TO reason,
that all the American books that are
pirated in these latter days of England
are of the complimentary sort, and
that the piracies work no computable
injury to the authors pocket; and l
also DSiltht t1tO Il ILLS CLASS VI DCOAo
should be copyrighted hencef0rth,
their publication over there would
cease, and then all the loss would fall
uoon the author. since they would not
be any better off, as regards money,
than they were before, and would lose
their compliment besides.
| think we are not in good position
to throw bricks at the English pirate.
We haven't any to spare. We need
them to throw at the American con-
| gress, and at the American author who
neglects his great privileges, and then

the blame upon the only nation in the
world that is magnanimous enough to
say to him: While you are the guest
of our laws and our flag, you shall not
