WHAT CLEVELAND SAYS.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald telegraphs to that
paper that he called on the president
Monday evening, and that upon being
admitted he stated that the object Of his
errand was TO learn the presidents views
of the result of the election. President
Cleveland said:
Il dislike TO see my name figuring in
set interviews in the daily press. l have
no objection 10 answering a few ques-
tions 10 oblige the Herald. but I prefer
that our talk should take the form of a
brief informal chat.
You desire. to learn, you say, TO what
cause | attribute our loss OF New York.

quietly-''thati il was mainly because the
other party had the most votes.

THE SANTA FE.


Railway HeFIeW-
President Strong states that the re-
ports that his company had decided to
cut down the salaries of all the officers
and employees. except those receiving 500
month or less, was true. The cause
for this action YVES that the expenses
were much higher than the present
earnings of the company warranted. AS
soon as the income warranted it wages
would be restored again to former basis
lis company, he said, like most other
roads, had suffered severely from stag
nation of business and low rates
Business was now improving, and
there was an inclination on the
part of all roads to maintain better
rates hereafter. He said there was no
truth in the report that the Santa Fe in
tends to buy the Toledo & ST. Louis or
any other eastern roads. Ii had no in
tention of purchasing any more lines or
building any additional extensions, but
proposed to devote its whole attention to
the development of the lines it already
possessed. He also stated that he was
not aware Of any negotiations going on
between the Gould, Huntington and
Santa Fe lines for the formation of new
combination that would virtually bring
the affairs of these properties under one
management

The three-year-old boy OF Hiram
Dyer, well known in this county. strayed
away from the Bent canyon camp, on
the CE range IN the Indian Territory on
the 2d inst, and was not found until
the 18th inst, when it died within fifteen
minutes after being discovered. Mr..
Dyer is in the employ OF Gregory, FL
dred and Co.,. at their camp within 12
miles OF Camp Supply. When the child
was missed from the camp, a search was
instituted and continued until the next
day without avail Two companies of
soldiers and 50 Indian scouts at Camp
Supply were turned out and they
searched for severel days, as did the
employees of every COW camp IN that
section. Wednesday q son OF Mr. An
drews heard dog barking on the
range, and going TO the spot discovered
the child. The little dog had renamed

child was barely alive when discovered
and died within fifteen minutes. Ii had
strayed eight miles from home and had
been without food or water and exposed

An Unmourned Defeat.

Perhaps the most notable feature o.
the present political situation Is the little
regret which Democrats seem to feel for
their defeat. PaTadoxicai though IL may
seem, there is a large section OF the party
which rejoices in the defeat of Grover
Cleveland though deploring the down
fall Of the Democracy. There has been
no time during the campaign when
the Democrats have felt that they
had leader with them heart and soul,
animating them by his magnetic person
ality, inspiring them by his devotion 20
the party and its traditions. They have
found themselves serving a graTeH i'm
age, a Juggernaut that pursued its
chosen path, relentlessly crushing friend
and foe alike that happened 70 obstruct
its pafhway.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
takes no stock i'll General Buffers re-
markable theory in relation to the origin
of yellow fever and to his skill in keep
ing it out Of New Orleans during the
war, as narrated by him in the North
American. General Butler thinks the
disease is bred by decaying animal and
vegetable matter, and was suppressed by
keeping the city clean. There is no
doubt that the cleanliness which he en-
forced had a good effect upon the
healthfulness of the city, although in
tie summer of 1854, there were many
deaths from small pox. But the best
authorities agree that yellow fever is an
imported disease, and its absence from
New Orleans during the war was chiefly
dne to the fact that there was no COM
munication with infected ports. In 1866
in was imported and was very fatal.
The epidemic this year has been invested
with a greater degree of interest, per-
haps, than that of any previous season
for the reason that some theories that
had previously been set up and accepted
as correct were completely knocked out,
and by the persiStency with which it has
held on after the propagating period and
conditions were believed TO have passed.
The renewed research into the cause.

that has been caused by its peculiarities

The EAGLE would suggest to its DEM
ocratic contemporaries eXtant that they
are engaged ina fruitless undertaking in
trying to place the blame for their de-
feat. The truth is no one man or set of
men were wholly responsible, On either
side. 1t was an instance where the peo-
pie took charge of the issues and brought
about results in accordance with their
intuitive sense of right. Therefore, CEN
suring this or that man, or bestowing
special credit here or there, is not only
not profitable but harmful.

Governor Hughes, of Arkansas, has
brought upon himself severe criticism
from all parties in the state by appointing
to the Office of tax collector Of Pulaski
county the Democratic candidate for
sheriff at the recent election, bat who
declined to take that Office for the rea-
son that his name was mixed up in the
ballot box robbery in that county the
night after the election. 1t is not posi-
lively asserted that the appointee had
any hand in the outrage mentioned, but
the fact that he declined the Office to
which he was declared elected, shows
that he did not regard himself clerly en-
titled to it, but that his opponent was;
hence the criticism Of the governor for
appointing him to discharge the respon-
sible and profitable functions of the

The declaration of Senator Eustis, of
Louisiana. That Mr.. Cleveland is himself
responsible for his defeat is a good deal
like the cry of stop thief from the flee
ing robber. 1t is of little consequence
TO the country who should bear the
greater share of the responsibility; it is
the accomplished fact that interests a
large majority of the people. However.
we quite agree with the Newton Repub-
lican in the remark that if any one per-
son on that side contributed more than
another to Its defeat it was the doughty
senator from the Pelican state. His re-
mark upon the floor of the senate when
the question Of election methods in the
south was under discussion. in reply to

ness" and his Century article upon the
