THE RESULT IN OHIO.

The republican defeat in Ohio is
quite as much a personal as party re-
buke. The denomination OF Governor
Foraker for a third term was grave
mistake. 1t violated a time-honored
principle which is almost universally
held in great respect by the American
people, especially as to their executive
officers. But apart from this, Governor
Foraker had lost in popularity by reason
of personal policy which was offensive
to many conservative republicans. 1t
will not be denied that his administra-
tions have been in most respects highly
honorable to him. He found the state
treasury empty and the state unable to
meet the pressing obligations, the re-
suit of two years of reckless extrava-
gauce under a democratic administra-
tion. He took prompt steps to save the
state from financial dishonor, and was
successful. He found the public insti-
tutions wretchedly managed, and
filed with corrupt and faithless
officials, and he replaced such officials
with competent and honest men under
were restored TO their former good
character and efficiency. For this
Governor Foraker was rightly honored
with second term, to which he was
triumphantly elected. This hearty and
generous expression OF the popular re-
gard spoiled him. His political ambi-
tion soon begun to be cOnspicu-
ously apparent His friends pro-
claimed him the coming leader of
the republican party in the ma
tion and named him among the possible
candidates for the presidency. All this
he encouraged in every practicable
way, not always dlscreetly and never
modestly. Moreover, he arranged as
far us he conld the machinery designed
to promote his ambition, and he PARADE d
himself before the country as the es-
pecial champion OF republican ideas and
policy which became embodied in the
term "Forakerism." The inevitable
effect OF this course was
to create distrust of himself
in the party, as man whose selfish
ambition must necessarily make him
unreliable as friend OF other men
seeking political advancement ON the
lines OF his ambition, and to turn from
him conservative republicans who do
not believe that it is necessary to main
tain partisan rancors and hatreds. in

TIE TRIUMPH OF HILL.


The democratic victory in New York
is distinct triumph for Governor Hill.
That astute and energetic politician,
so far as the politics of New York is
concerned, Is unquestionably entitled
to nearly the entire credit for success
which makes the democratic party Of
the Empire state stronger than for
number OF years, and the significance
OF this will not fail to deeply impress
itself upon the democrats OF
the entire country. 1t is we'll
understood that the ticket was named
by Hill every man on it being his warm
friend and adherent, that the platform
was largely framed by him, and that
the campaign was conducted upon lines
laid down by him. The independent
press persistently kept these facts be-
fore the people, and while not condemn
ing all the democratic candidates, ap-
pealed to the element it represents
to vote against the men most
active and ardent in their sup
port of the political aspirations
of Governor Hill. But neither this in
fiuence nor the unfriendly Cleveland
contingent appears to have had any ef-
feet, and the willy manipulation of demo-
cratic politics in New York is congrat-
ulating himself not only in the success
of the state ticket, but in haviu g gained
several additional supporters IN the
legislature.
This result has more interest for the
democrats who will not tolerate the
thought of any other leader than Mr..
Cleveland tnan it has for any
other class OF people concerned
as to the future OF politics. 1t places
Hill easily at the head of democratic
leaders, whether the friends Of the ex-
president will have it so or rot. He has
an unbrosen record of victories, and
that of Tuesday is even more important
to him than the one of last year, when
he carried New York, and Cleveland
lost it, since it emphasizes the fact that
he is the strongest democrat in New
York. AS that state will doubt
less be absolutely necessary
to democratic success three years
hence, nothing could be more certain in
politics than that Hill, if he cannot Sc
cure the nomination for the presidency
in 1892, will dictate the candidate, and
and it is equally certain that in that
event neither Cleveland nor any
other New York man will get it.
Hill or a western man agreeable to him
will lead the democratic party in the
next national political contest.
The result in New York has very lit
tie if any bearing upon national affairs.
The issues in the campaign were wholly
state issues, and these will in all proba-
bility be in no respect affe cted or
changed by the result.

An Editors Home.

The house of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry w.
Grady never looked more enchanting
than it did last evening, says the At
lanta Constitution of October II. The
grace and charm of every decoration,
the many lights and the breath of
myriad blossoms made the scene never
to be forgotten. The flowers were al
most entirely roses, which showed their
beauty in every available place. The
library showed in the bow windows and
alcoves the rich leaves of East India
plants. Lending from this room was q
delicious little apartment all in yellow,
the curtains Of gold crepe de chine, the
chandeliers OF amber and the flowers
yellow roses and chrysanthemums,w while
golden baskets and stands contained
growing ferns'and MOSES.
The handsome parlor was adorned in
growing tropical plants, groups OF palms
filling the corners, while between the
columns of the bow window arch were
gilded baskets OF growing palms.
Folding doors connected the drawing
room and supper-room. The refresh
ment table in the latter was almost
covered with frpits and flowers, the
center piece being large bed Of roses,
and around this tropical and crystal
lized fruits were arranged, while cut
roses and heliotrope. The sldeboard
adorned with fruits and flowers, and
punch was served in an alcove OF the
room.
Mrs. Grady received her guests in a
charmingly artistic gown of white
crepe de chine, adorned with many
graceful loops and ends OF yellow rib
bon. The short sleeves were of finest
lace, and the cut bodice had for its cor
sage bouquet graceful yellow arbutilous
and white roses.

that, as it seems, all the youth OF Hun
gary, including school boys, invest mon
ey in them recklessly during the racing
season. The tickets by purchase of
which the buyer backs a certain horse at
the current odds are not only sold on
the racecourses, but in any lottery office
or tobacco shop. The report speaks so
Indignantly OF all this that one is quite
prepared for the announcement that the
government intends TO ask parliament
for powers to abolish the betting
agencies altogether. But it is simply
proposed to restrict the sale OF tickets to
racecourses and to tax the winnings OF
tho gamblers. This means that the
government proposes to abate a great
social nuisance by acquiring vested
interest in its maintenance.

cally unanimous vote in the congress

Sunset Cox. Mr.. Cummings is not a

served term in congress few years

coupled with an exhaustive investiga-
tion of the resources of the west during
the past summer, thoroughly equips
HIM for an active and useful career in
congress. The west will find in him, as
it has in his predecessor, u warm sup
porter of it's interests.

THE VIRGINIA RESULT.

The defeat OF Malone was foregone
conclusion nearly month ago. The
detection OF a large number of white
republicans at the beginning of the
campaign, and the growth of the revolt
as the canvass progressed, left little
reason before the campaign was half
through to doubt that he would be
beaten, and when the colored leader,
John M. Langston, withdrew his support
and abandoned the field the de-
feat of Malone was assured. Having
introduced into his campaign more OF
artifice, trlckery, insincerity and sell
fish scheming than ever before in his
political career, he drove from him both
white aud colored republicans who had
the intelligence to understand and the
courage to rebuke such conduct.
The result is that the democratic
party in the Old Dominion is more
strongly intrenched, and greater and
more prolonged effort will be
required to dislodge it. Under
the leadership of a sincere re-
publican, having the honesty to keep
faith with his party friends, and with
an unselish ambition to promote repub-
lican principles rather than a desire to
grasp and control the spoils, there would
have been chance of materially re6uc-
ing the democratic vote in Virginia, if
not of freeing the state from bourbon
rule, but no different result than what
has occurred could reasonably
have been expected from Ma
honeism. Republicans may re-
greet that promising opportunity to
make breach in the solid south has
been lost, and the opposition there
strengthened where it seemed weakest,
but if the lesson shall have the effect to
lead republicans in the south to reject
the leadership of men like Malone the
overwhelming defeat of the republican
party In Virginia on Tuesday will have
one very great benefit.

accepting the nomination for third
term, after the most positive declara-
tions that he would not
be caudidate, Governor
Foraker demonstrated his capacity for
political intrigue and insincerity, aud
in the conduct OF his campaign he justi-
fed the objections OF conservative
republicans. 1t was therefore ''Forak-
erism" that was really on trial before
the people Of Ohio, and thus it is that
the verdict is quite rs much q personal
as party .rebuke.
The result in Ohio consequently has no
great significance from national
point OF view. It is true that the tariff
issue was somewhat discussed in the
campaign, but no intelligent man will
pretend that this question had any i'm
portaut influence in determining the
result, and it is equally certain that
whatever republican dissatisfaction
may exist with the national administra-
tion, it cut no appreciable figure. The
loss OF the legislature by the republi-
cans is a more serious matter than the
defeat OF the state ticket, since
it will very likely result
in the recollection OF Henry B. Payne to
the United States senate, and thus
place the people OF Ohio in the unen-
viable position of having vindicated
senator charged with having corruptly
bought his election, who has never dis
proved the charge, and who is widely
believed to oe guilty. But the reiec-
tiou of "Forakerism" ought to be a
useful lesson to the republicans Of the
whole country.

The Remarkable Experience of the
American Steam 'hip Santiago.
Among the reports OF the Hydrograph-
ic Bureau for October is the following
remarkable account OF watersrout by
Chief Officer Galloway of the American
steamship Santiago.
''On the Goth day of April, 1880, at
about $50 II. M, Royal island tone of
the Bahamas), bore about south, distant
four miles; wind light from south-south-
west, weather partly cloudy. Observed
waterspout forming off the starboard bow
(ship heading southwcst) and moving in
direction of steamer at an angle of three
points. On account of its close prox-
unity, was about to steer clear OF it,,
when | observed il breaking, about
thirty yards from the ship. Immedi-
ately afterward the steamer passed
through the outer edge of the whirl-
pool, the diameter OF which [ should
judge to have been about fifty to seventy
yards. On passing through the outer
edge / observed that the center was
hollow. the water circling from west to
east, or against the sun. The water
that fell on deck was very salt, and the
drops as large as a J0-cent piece. Dur
ing the few seconds, of our. passage
through it the wind blew at the rate of
hour. I did not observe any calm in
the center at all, the water arising from
it resembling an inverted foun-
tain. After clearing the whirl-
pool the wind resumed its original
force, about fifteen miles per hour.
Being tho officer of the watch, 1 had
little time to observe the barometer,
but it Huctuated one or two hundredths,
aud then resumed its previous reading.
The clouds above and around The spout
were very ragged and much disturbed,
similar to those in a thunder storm;
their motions were very rapid, ascend
ing, descending, and breaking away
from each other after the water had
been absorbed into them. The water
was whirling very rapidly for several
minutes after the break, showing what
tremendous circular force there must
have been. l may mention that upon
passing through it the steering OF the
ship was not affected, so that If there
were any current at all it must have
been circular and confined to the GEN.

THE assertion of Lincoln contem-
.porary that registration was not fail
ure in Omaha is disproved by actual
experience. The needless restrictions
imposed by the law deprived thousands
OF people Of the rights OF citizenship.
Foreign born citizens who had resided
in the state from five to twenty years
were denied registration because they
had lost their naturalization papers.
The multiplicity OF books delayed vot-
ing to such an extent that at the close
OF the polls fully one Thousand voters
were in line in the various wards of the
city. These men were deprived OF their
votes by the inability OF the clerks and
judges 10 find their names prompt
ly. The provision requiring nom
registered voters TO apply TO the
city clerks Office with two free-holders
ms endorsers proved an absurdity. Com
paratively few went to the trouble, and

dayits occupied the entire time Of that

than facilitates honest voting. In this

OF Africa. Ophir might as we'll be To-
Gated in the mysterious Mashuna land

covery is made in Africa. Nothing OF
consequence has for somo years
been reported about gold in
Central Africa. Vague accounts
are given from time TO time
OF natives who have both gold and ivory
to exchange for goods. Africa, rs n
gold bearing country, is virgin ground.
The theory has long prevailed that it is
the richest gold country in the world.
This theory is partly supported by tra-
dition and in part by such accounts as
have been given from time to time by
explorers. The isolated traveller could
do little in tho way OF gathering infor-
nation about the mineral resources of
the African continent. That was not
his business. These early explorers
only incidentally mention the finding of
gold, and it were really OF no great inn
portance in comparison with other OBJ

the fact is clearly demonstrated that
thero are rich gold fields in Africa,
nothing in the climate nor the hostility
of the native population will keep back

fleece. The discovery of vast gold fields
