A card sent up TO room No. As secured
an audience, and apologizing for the late
ness of the hour, the reporter extended
his congratulations to Governor Tillman,
and told him that the latest returns from
South Carolina only emphasized the
overwhelming victory for the Tillman
ticket which was Indicated by the early
reports from South Carolina. The re-
ports brought no news of difficulties

peaceful and quiet election.
Governor Tillman said he was not at
all surprised at the small vote received
by the Haskell ticket. He had never at
tributed any strength to the anti-Tlllman
ticket. and was not surprised at the COM
plete fasco ofthe Haskell movement. Il

news that the day has passed without
any violence. l never had the slightest
doubt that the State would give me an
overwhelming majority. l counted

Wrecked by Robbers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. IA spe-
cial to the Star from Sedalia, Mo-, says:
Train No. 3, West bound, on the Mis-
souri, Pacific was wrecked BY train rob-
bers three miles East Of Otterville. The
robbers cut, at 2::40 this morning. The
train consisted Of seven coaches, includ-
ing the mail, express and baggage cars.
The robbers had removed the spikes,
bolts and fish plates for a distance Of
three rails lengths and placed crowbars
under the rails so that they would
spread. When the engine touched it it
loosened the rails and jumped the track,
broke loose from the tender and ran
fifty teet on the ties and turned over.
Firemen Lyon jumped and escaped in
jury. Engineer John Boyd stuck to his
post and received a severe wound on the
back Of his head and had his hand
badly cut. The tender turned across
the track, throwing part Of the mail car
thirty feet to the side ofthe track. There
were four postal clerks in the car. and
all were slightlylniured. j. D. Nc cCardy.
one of them, received severe injury to
his right leg. The baggage and express
cars were completely wrecked. The
smoker, which was filed with passen-
gers, was turned upside down, and the
car was badly smashed. Strange to say,
not one of the occupants was severely
injured. Two chair cars jumped the
track. but did not turn over. The Pull
man was the only coach to reman on
the track. The engineer had stopped
the train short distance from the
wreck to make repairs on his engine
and the train was moveiDg at only about
eighteen miles an hour when the engine
struck the loosened rails, to which tact
there is no doubt was due the miraculous
escape of the passengers and train.

i Great State.

Kansas deserves praise for more than
the Farmcr,' Alliance. a Dickson
County girl, aged fifteen. drove self
binder over 200 acres and took care OF
the four horses that drew the machine: a
Brown County girl looked after her
fathers grape crop whole season, and
did not expect or receive a cent OF the
$1,000 profit; lincoln County girl got
her father to give her a farm Of eighty
acres, which she takes care Of alone,
and last year cleared $1,000, besides
buying herself some stunning clothes;
woman sixty years old has iarmed
near Notawanka for many years with
continuous success, giving literally
to the poor, and never leaving the
farm except to attend woman's
suffrage meeting. There are hundreds
ofbright girls in the western part OF the
State who have taken up claims and
lived on them until they have received a
deed for the land. With this sort Of
spirit of independence prevailing it IS no
wonder the State went back on ingalls,.

A GRAND VICTORY.
NOT ONLY IN SOUTH CAROLINA BUT
ALL OVER The UNION.

The Democrats Have Captured the House
OF Representatives by Majority OF
Over One Hundred and Made Large
Gains in the Senate.
The election last week was a regular
Waterloo to Independents and Repub-
leans all over the country.
Tillman's majority in this State is
between fifty and sixty thousand. Has
keD only carried three counties, Sumter,
Beaufort and Berkeley, all the others
went by handsome majorities for the
regular Democratic ticket.
All the Democratic nominees for Con-
gress in this State have been elected.
There was some doubt about Col. El-
Eott's election, but the fact that a great
many of the Miller ticket will be thrown
out on account Of their size and color,
VIII give Elliott handsome majority.
In the Congressional elections all
over the North, East and West the Re-
publican party has met with a most
signal defeat. Besides, the Democrats
have the State officers in a number of
heretofore strong Republican States,
such as Pennsylvania, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts,, Wisconsin and several
others.
The Democrats have also captured
the Legislatures in New York, New
Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin and
the Alliance has captured the Legisla-
ture of Kansas, which means the retire
ment of that great enemy of the South,
ingalls,, whichin addition to the four
new Senators to be elected by the Dem
ocrats in New York, New Hampshire,
Illinois and Wisconsin will leave the
Republicans majority of only four in
the Senate. I
Among the Republicans who failed
of a reelection to Congress are Nc
Kinley, Cannon, Rowel, and many
other South haters, which is source of
great Joy to every Southerner.
Taken altogether, it is one of the
grandest victories ever gained by the
people over corruption, venality and
sectionahsm, and will do more to
strengthen the Union between the States
than any event that has happened since
the close Of the war, and, unless the
Democrats use their victory unwisely,
it. means Democratic President and

Ruttec Worth'S Mis0ONl.

CHICAGO, November S.-Beniamin
Buttcrworth, who declined rcnomna-
ton for Congress from his ditrict in Gin
cinnati, expressed himself to-day upon
the result OF the election: In my opin-
ion no man could have made a success
full race for the Presidency ofthe United
States standing upon the issue OF the
Mckinley bill. and l think high tariff a
reckless road to travel for public office at
the present time.
1.-The people OF this country are in such
a state thatno even the most prosperous
class will stand the addition Of another
feathers weight oftax. 1t was the most
unwise policy that any party could pur-
sue to take the stand of favorlng an in
crease in the tariff when it is and has
been apparent that reduction is what has
been needed and wanted. I think l saw
what was coming-at least my actions
show that I pursued a wise course. and
the other Republicans knew only too
we'll the inevitable consequence Of the
Mckinley bill. l received a letter from
a Minnesota Congressman thls morning.
which read: ''IIow terrible was the
slaughter. You saw the trouble and slid
out, but I staid like lamb and was
butchercd beautifully. The Mckinley
bill and the Farmers Alliance were too
much for me-
II do not think that the actions Of
Speaker Reed antagonized public feeling
to the extent the newspapers make cut,
and nearly every one know that Demo-
cratic gains were made because q class
of Republicans are becoming more and
more disgusted with the high Tariff teach
inss. Now that the prophet has spoken
and the lesson has been taught, | have
no doubt that proper adjustments will

Claims Of the Alliance.

WASHINGTON. November 81. l.
Polk, prcsiden. of the National Farmers.
Alliance. is very iubilant over the re-
suit of the elections. In tie course of an
interview today he sid:
The Democrats and Republicans arc
claiming everything Just now, but when
they come to sift the chatl from the wheat
they will find that the Farmers Alliance
had something to do with elect!ng a fair
proportion Of the good men who will have
seats in the next Congress. Up to the
present time it is certainty that that
Congress Will contain thirtN eight
straiohiout Alliance men, there arc twelve
or fifteen more who are pledged 10 US.
These men are from the South and North
west-thc two sections in which most of
our work was done. The Alliance in
Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa IS not
our organization. and has not ANAL CANA
ted with US, but it made the same fight
and will join Us this winter. Our
Alliance co-opcrated with them; we will
cooperate with any farmers association,
and in little while have q grip on the
situation in almost every corner Of the
land.
I'VE are here to stay. This great
reform movement will not cease until it
has impressed itself indclibly in the ma
ii on's history. Financial reform is the
necessity Of the hour, and it tmust come.
The press and the voice Of the stump
speaker were oar only assistants. The
Alliance had no campaign fund, no
Doodle. live had had money wcwould
not have used 1t. The virtue and the
patriotism of the people are the things
to appeal to. Our methods were fair
and square, and the whole world could
see what we were doing. The principles
on which the Alliance IS founded are
solid and correct; we must succeed. IL"
fight was no small affair. The eStrem-
lists Of both parties attacked us bitterly
and gave no inch Of ground. In the
South it was the Democrats who opposed
US. In the North our most Vigorous an
taeonists were Republicans.

Roush on the Priests.

Deputy Juan \. Mateos in the
Mexican Chamber Of Deputies has pre-
sented bill which, if made law, VIII
cause three-fourth Of the clergy to leave
Mexico. Nearly all the existing Catho-
lie churches in Mexico belong to the
government, and the bill proposes that
only native priests be allowed to occupy
the pulpits. Nearly three-fourths OF
the priests are Spaniards. A most ex-
sitting debate is predicted.

by any possibility be thrown into the

Total:-Democratic delegations, so; Re-

The present Republican majority in
the Senate is fourteen, including the
four new senators from Idaho and Wy
ontng. Anti-Republican Legislature
have been elected in Illinois, Kansas,
New York, New Hampshire and Wis
consin, which will elect senators the
coming winter. There seems to be little
doubt about New Hampshire; the 9th
ers seem assured. Should New Hamp-
shire have an anti-Republican majority,
Eve Democrats will replace FIVE Republi-
cans after March 4, 1891, making diff
ference of ten votes, reducing the Re
publican majority to four. The rotten
boroughs of Idaho and Wyoming and
the theft of Montana alone prevent
Democratic majority in the Senate and
the repeal OF the Mckinley bill, the
Executive veto not considered.

Every Watch is a Compass.

A few days ago | was standing by an
American gentleman, when expressed
wish to know which point was the
north. He at once pulled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the north.
| asked him whether he had a compass
attached to his watch. can Watches"
he replied, care compasses." Then
he explained to me bow this was. Point
the hour hand to the sun and the south
is exactly halfway between the hour
and the figure XII on the watch. For
instance, suppose that it is four O'Clock.
Point the hand indicating four to the
sun and III on the watch is exactly
south. Suppose that it is eight O'Clock,
point the hand indicating eight to the
sun, and the figure X on the watch is
due south. My American friend was
quite surprised that did not know this.
Thinking that very possibly / was
ignorant of a thing that every one else
knew, and happening to meet Mr..
Stanley, | asked that eminent traveller
whether he was aware of this simple
mode of discovering the points of the
compass. He said that he had never
heard of it. presume, therefore, that
the world is in the same state of igno-
rance. Amalfi is proud of having been
the home of the inventor of the COM
pass. / do not know what town boasts

Progress of American Steel.

An interesting feature of the recently
pub ished statistical report OF the
American Iron and Steel Association is
the increasing percentage of steel III
the total production. About one-third
of the bar Iron" now manufactured
in the United States is steel, so is
nearly half of the plate and the sheet
iron, and forty per cent OF the cut nails
and spikes. The rolled iron product,
other than nails, only increased one and
one-half per cent last year, while the
rolled steel product, apart from rails,
increased thirty-two per cent. 1t needs
not to say that steel rails are now re-
placing those of iron on all the rail-
roads which are efficiently managed.
After that change is completed, what
then? Will the next reform in order
be wholesale substitution of aluminium
for the ferric material, crOwding that
out of the way as the latter is displacing
wood for many structural purposes? 1t
is not improbable. Clay is much more
plentiful than iron ore, and recent eX
periments at least indicate it as pos
sible that the new metal will ere long
be produced as cheaply per unit of
volume, if not of weight, as its elder
brother. Such a change would revo-
lutionize not few of our manufactur-
ing processes, and perhaps some OF
the habits of the civilized human be-
ing.-MetdU md EiSen Zeit,mg.

ACCORDING to the report of the Yer
mont railroad commissioners, only five
companies have declared dividends in
the past two years, and they embrace
only a small fraction of the states
mileage-Atlantic and St. Lawrence,
Bennington and Rutland, Fitchburg,
New London Northern, and Valley.
Nevertheless the average earning per
passenger per mile were for the past
year 30 cents, which exceeds the rate
OF any other section of roads, averaged
by groups of states in the country. The
freight receipts per ton per mile aver
aged IA cents, which is about what
the rates for all the New England roads
together will average. But these fig
ures give no idea of what the local rates
are; for it is well known that the Cen
trail Vermont, for example, carries
through freight often at loss and
makes up the difference on local charges.
If the Vermont railroads would try the
policy of developing local traffic, in
stead of crushing it to gain an unremu-
nerative through traffic, the stockhold-
ers might be paid small dividend once
in ten years or Whereabouts. - Spring.
