ly, 10000 for Harrison. This would
leave about Il 900 as the number cast
by colored citizens out of total of
619,O3S, which has undoubtedly in
creased to over 100000 since 1880
Only one in ten of the colored voters
were allowed to have their votes count
ed for the party of their choice. More
than 100000 of them in these States
alone were disfranchised. On full
vote and fair count in these States
Harrison would have carried them by
an aggregate plurality of not less than
$50, 900, instead of Cleveland having
$4,000 plurality, and Harrison's plu-

been over $50, 600 Add to that 100, 600

DEMOCRATIC DESPOND.
How the Grand Republican Victory Has
Affected the Opposition.

How the Grand Republican Victory Has
Affected the Opposition.
The most experienced and clear
headed observers at the National cap
ital declare that within the past forty
or fifty years the magnateS OF no beat
en- party have been so demOralized and
disheartened as the Democratic party
chiefs and Congressman are at this mo-
ment. The leaders do not consult with
their followers, the members OF the
two branches of Congress do not
confer together, while there isno con-
cert of action in either Senate or
House in the initiation of any sort of
legislation. Democratic Senators sit
dumb and spiritle5s while their Re
publican antagonists are passing the
protectionist Tariff bill section by sec
ton. A show OF opposition. it is
true. is made when the votes are
taken on the provisions of the meas
ure. but it is of the most feeble and
perfunctory sort.
Charles Nordhoff, one OF the Oldest
and best-known journalists in Wash
ington, and a Democrat himself. calls
the Democrats in Congress a mob, "
and saws that when a mob is beaten
it does not pick itself up Testimony
from other Democratic sources is of a
similar tenor. Undoubtedly one cause
of the Democratic apathy is the aver
sion and distrust which the party
holds for the President. Hewas never
popular among his supporters. DEM
ocrats voted for him in 1884 because
they saw that his candidacy offered
them a chance of restoration to pow
err. They voted for him for the sake
of the spoils and patronage which a
Republican candidate weak in the piv-
otal State would permit Cleveland to
gain for them. And now, when his de-
feat makes it safe for the Democracy
to openly declare the dislike and
contempt for him which had hitherto
been concealed, the semblance of dis
cipline and coherency which the par
ty had previously maintained is cast
aside.
Another and perhaps the principal
cause of the Democratic 6emorali-
cation is the hopelessness of the outlook
FOR the party. Before the next Presi-
Dental election takes place the APP
portionment based on the census of
1890 will have been made, and this
will show large relative increase in
the strength of the Republican sec
tons of the country. The gain in pop
ulation in the North is greater than it
is in the South. and this gain will be
augmented by the admission to State
hood of three or four Territories which
will choose Republican electors. Cast

This shows about 100000 plurality

NEW SUFFRAGE NOTES,

Rev. AMANDA WAY was a cO-laborer
with DIR. Mary F. Thomas in the early
woman suffrage and temperance work
in Indiana. and has lived and worked
chiefly in Kansas OF late years
The cause of woman's rights in
France has progressed to the point OF
the introduction of bill to grant TO
trades women paying licenses the right
to vote at elections of judges of the
Tribunal of Commerce.
The Vermont Legislature having re-
fused women the right to vote in mu-
nicipal elections, certain women have
sent in petition declaring that ''taxa-
tiop without representation is tyranny"
and asking to have all taxes removed
from property owned by women.
A DISPATCH from Madrid, Spain,
says that the cabinet has approved a
bill which grants suffrage to all persons
over twenty-five years of age, who have

same place, except officers, soldiers.

women ''persons?n And if not, what
are they?

laughed with them, too. but nevertheless,
The thought of the husband allotted TO Bess
Gave me queer feeling
Sent pang through my heart
Though knew it was fun 1T gave me start.
Imagine my darling to womanhood grown
As fair ana as sweet as rose newly blown,
Being married TO one of the young men in
vogue,
And after awhile to find him a rogue.
What sadder misfortune
Could fall to her lot
Or tarnish her name with an uglier blots
That such things have happened, we can not
deny.
The newspapers iaunt them each day to the
Some bank has been sw;ndled-we read it with
dread
Some name has been forged, and the guilty one
fed,
Aud the innocent children
And wife left TO face
The terrible stigma OF shame and disgrace.
Then girls, take advice, be careful and wise,
Do not let appearances dazzle your eyes.
BE sure that the man you We chosen for life
Is honest and upright and worth good wife;
Or else, you Will wish.
Many times, I'm afraid,
You were single again, even il an old maid.
And one other thing, girls, I've heard it's been
said.
When husbands in this sad temptation were
led,
An 'extravagant wife" is made the excuse,
To atone for their fault-a very poor ruse-
But sometimes perhaps
II may be loo true.
To show and high living" their downfall is
due.
So girls. when you marry and start new life,
Just make up your mind TO be true wife;
On following the fashion, don't be too intent,
Nor struggle for style till it brings discon-
tent.
Remember that happiness
Came never yet,

MASTODONS IN ALASKA.
A Queer Report Circulated by n Band OF
Northern Indians.

Northern Indians.
That the mastodOn was once common
in Alaska is certain from the great
number of their skeletons, found in the
marshes and clay banks of the Yukon
and northern plains; but that this huge
pachyderm still exists there in the liv-
ing state has never been deemed likely,
or even conjectured until recently.
This conjecture rests on reports by way
of the Sick Indians on the White river,
tributary of the Yukon.
The account is that while hunting on
a wooded bottom, few miles from this
river. two Indians came upon a trail,
consisting of enormous tracks fully two
feet across. and deeply imprinted in the
moss and earth, strewn along near
which were broken branches of the
trees. Following cautiously on these
signs. they at length heard the noise of
the creature feeding, and presently
spied a prodigious animal. as large,
they assert. as white mans house
meaning the traders One-StOry store.
Its teeth, they declared. were as long as
a mans leg. and curved outward. while
its ears were likened to a seal-skin in
size. In color it was represented to be
dark brown. 1t leaned against n dead
tree-stub. and scratched its side, and IFS
body seemed to be covered with patches
of coarse brown hair. Terrified at the
sight of such enormous game, the two
hunters promptly retrcated.
Other native hunters cOrrobOrate this
story with similar accounts of their eX-
periences; accounts which they are re-
luctant to relate for fear of ridicule. or
from some superstitiOus feelings regard
ing the matter. The uncharitable at
tribute the appar.tion OF the strange
beast to the misunderstanding effects of
hoochinoo-a particularly villainous
kind of whisky distilled from mOlasses.
Others rejoin that these Indians never
take h0Ochinoo while on a hunt-or, in
other words, that they never go on a
hunt as long as there is any hoochinoo
left in the rancherie.
This may be subiecting the narrative
of the natives to a somewhat harsh crit
icism, the more so when it is considered
that one of the two who saw the sup
posed mastodon is an Indian of known
probity and good characterize with
three others of his tribe having brought
down to the trading post the body of
the late murdered bishop.
Let us hope that these Indians have
really seen a mastodon, and that it may,
in due course, figure in the place of the
lamented Jumbo, and not only substan-
tate the theories of the savants, but de-
light the eyes of every boy and girl in
the United States.-Youh's Compan-
