PALDIER's VICTORY.

There has rarely been more brill
liant and powerful contest waged by
any man than that in Illinois by Gov.
PALMER as the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for United States senator.
The campaign made by PALMER for
governor two years ago.in which he ran
ahead of his party some ten thousand
or more votes, was marvel of industry
and persistence. The old veteran and
statesman seems now to have broken
his own record and snatched victory
from the seemingly impossible. The
latest reports indicate a majority on
joint ballot in the legislature, although
the Republicans had majority of
seven in the half of the SEN
ate that holds over. His per-
sonal strength alone has made it posi-
bic to elect the first Democrat chosen by
the Illinois legislature since the death
of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS in 1861. Judge
DAVID DAVIS. in 1876, was not Dem
ocrat, but independent Republican. If
Gen. PALMER were younger man, his
demonstrated ability TO carry the great
state of Illinois would make him con-
spicuous as presidential possibility,
but he will be seventy-four years old
when the next president is elected. He
is. however, man of exceptional phys
zeal vigor, and has in addition some
hereditary promise of longevity, his
father living to ninety years or more in
full possession of his faculties. His age
will hardly be deemed an objection to
his election TO the six years. term of
senator. This he has earned beyond all

Count Taafre, Premier of Austria.

Count Iaafe is convivial soul, who
must have his couple of bottles of caret
at dinner. When he speaks in the Aus
TRAN parliament he prepares himself
for the fray with about half dozen
liqueur glasses of brandy. Thus primed,
he talks with all the racy humor which
he has inherited from his Irish ances-
tors. He does not like Prince Reuss.
the German ambassador in Vienna, and,
what is more, proclaims his dislike pretty
openly by epigramS, which generally
reach the Infatuated ambassadors ears.
Prince ReuSs' proper style and title is
Henry VII. there is Henry LXIV. in
the family, Prime Zu Reuss, not Won
Reuss. He is not head of the house.
but having married Princess Marie of
SaXOny, who is royal highness. he
holds his head aloft as though he were
always wearing helmet with nodding
plumeS. AS for his wife, she anXi0usIy
deliberated when she came to Vienna
whether she could treat the other
ladies of the diplomatic body on a
footing of equality. and before her
mind was quite made up she
used to write notes beginning
without any ''Sir" or MADAM" and sign
them without any of the courteous forms
used in epistolary correspondence. Her
quarrel with Countess Taaffe was caused
by note of this description, which the
spirited countess answered by one of
like tenor. Count Taaffe is something
more than minister to Francis joseph.
The two were playfelIows when bows
and the intimacy between them is great,
inSomuch that the emperor always adj
dresses Faaffe as ''Du" Chou. Nor has
Count Taaffe ever followed any policy
but such as the emperor himself highly
approved.

THE CENSuS ROTCH

There is suspicion of what may be
termed the census mania in the large
assignment given by some prominent
Republican organs to Mr.. PoR TER and
his work in the compilation of causes
for the Republican disaster of the 4th.
There was disgust at the exhibition of
incompetency and general distrust of
the work; and, if Republicans choose
TO find it among the aggravated sins of
the administration, it is a privilege.
perhaps consolation, that should not be
denied them. But the census should he

Won Moltke's Simplicity.

You are very much Mistaken" said
Moltke once. late in his career. sin com
ing to me, if you think my life will fur
nish any of those brilliant descriptions
dear to poets and the general public.
My life is so poor in episodes that it
would be considered quite tedious. and
l do not see how my biography should
contain anything but dates.'' And this
was said in earnest, too! Yet Koenig-
graetZ and Sedan are among the .'epi-
Sodes" of his poor life"
After the Austrian campaign of 1866
he said: "How beautiful it is that God
should have lit up the evening of a

sovereign and many of his generalsI /.

THE CAMPAIGN WORKERS.

The GLOBE voices the sentiment of
the Democratic masses when it speaks
in praise of the managers and workers
in the Democratic cause during the
campaign that has just closed. We re
aliZe the difficulties which beset the
campaign management. There was lack
OF organization everywhere, and an
empty treasury. The Democrats had
been in the minority so long in this
state, and with such fearful odds against
them, that nothing but the justice of
their cause could have stimulated the
hope of victory. Thus it was in the
spirit of purest patriotism the workers
went into the field and cleaned the
magnificent harvest that has been gar
nered. There may have been mistakes
made and faulty methods adopted, but
they are forgotten and forgiven in the
splendid triumph that has been
achieved. The Democratic masses are
grateful to the men who gave their
time, their energies and their abilities
to the cause.
We are especially proud of the
achievements of the Ramsey and Hem
nepin county Democracy. Ramsey was
the home county of the Republican can
didate for governor, and Heunepin the
home county of the Republican candi-
date for congress. Usually local pride
and interests have more or less influence
in determining elections. But in this
instance they failed to exert a power.
The Democrats in both counties rallied
under the flag of tariff reform and re-
sisted all the lavishmentS of the Repub-
lican candidates. They were loyal to
principle and stood shoulder to shoulder
in support of their convictions. When
parties move and act this way they be-
come mighty forces in any county.

Arabs in New York.

sit appears" says the New York Sun,
''that arabs swarm along Washington
street from Battery place to Carlisle
street, are now spreading along to Nor
ris and Rector streets. on the lower
west side of the city. Very few of the
'swarthy sons of the desert wear their
own picturesque garb after they have
dwelt here short time. They live in
clusters in the mean old houses of that
region of the city, in which they have
taken up their abode. There are q few
wholesale dealers among them, but
nearly all of them are peddlers of nap
kins, trinkets and cheap Arabian wares,
earning from 10 cents to 10 dimes day.
1t is rare to find any of them able to
mutter more than half dozen words of
English. They are not a vicious eIe-
ment, and are wholly free from crime.
They do not quaf liquors Or beer, but
some them take a little of the grape
Juice which is prepared by an Arab
here. They do not mingle with any of
the other races in New York"

AN oPTIMIsT's AWFUL BLOW.
The Fearful Extent to Which His
Heart Was Bowed Down.

This is about young man who lives
IN the Pine Tree state, says the Lewis
ton (Me.) Journal. This is a young
man of very deep feelings. When ne
gets his mind set on thing it takes a
strong hold on him. His is one of those
intense natures that can brook no oppo-
sltlon. Yet up to the time of which |
write he had always been noted for
looking upon the bright side of things
one of your real bright Optimists,
who consider. that each cloud has at
least German-silver lining. Well,
this young man had centered his aifcc-
lions upon a young lady in the village,
and on numerous occasions offered his
escort on rides and to parties. These
were so uniformly and firmly refused
that he at length brought matters to
head by asking the lady. point blank,
why she refused his attentions.
Because" said she, Il ain engaged
to another man, and do not think it
would be right to go about with you''
The young man sat stupefied for
moment, too absolutely stunned for
words. Then his former bright nature
forsook him as he looked. shuddering,
down the long black vista of the years
that confronted him. Not one ray of
light cleaned athwart the said vista.
Not glim. The clouds all seemed to
be lined with black alpaca. Turning
his mournful gaze upon the object Of
his SOULS worship, this one time light
hearted but now desolate man brought
forth a groan from his Utmost being,
and said i'll voice that trembliugly
told of his deep feeling in the matter.

Whew! How the drivers hammerl
We are late by an hour or more:
We sway and SWerye on the ringing curve,
And the bridges reel and roar.

And out of his window cranes
With gray eyes wedto the track ahead,
A fellow in greasy jeans.
Scarcely looks like the fellow

In that grimy face twere hard to trace
The metal that should be there
Faster we roar and faster
The hand at the throttle shows
Steady enough if the face is rough
AND the landscape melts and flows.

The whistle wakes to a shrek for brakes,
And what does his swift brain say?

And for GEAR life's love supreme!
Jump from the doom of q crunchiug tomb
And the hell OF the bowling steaml

The trust of hundred liyesl
Stay, for the sake of the hearts would breal,
And for others babes and wivesl

And with hands that snatch amain.

And the air brake chokes the train

THE ORGANS.

Now that the election is over and the
Republican campaign Doodle fund ex-
hausted, the Pioneer Press returns to
its advocacy of free trade. The Nc
KINLEY bill has soured on its stomach,
and it warns the Republicans that un-
less they right about face on the tariff
question the Democrats will elect the

too late. The Republicans have gone
too far to retrace their steps. They

Press to stand blythe men vino voted

MEN OF NOTE.

{ An aide de-camp who vas fOr.many
years in the personal suite of King
Humbert told correspondent of an
English paper some Interesting things
about the italian monarch. Said he:
The queen is deeply possessed with the
superstition that evil results are sure to
follow if the guests at table are thirteen
in number; In fact, she will never sit
down to-dinner unless the fatal number
Is avoided. For this reason the second
aide, de-camp in waiting has always to
hold himself at the disposal of the pre-
feet Of the royal household in case a
guest should be needed in hurry to
make up fourteen. One day towards
O'Clock In the evening / received
a note from the project informing me
that by command of their maiesties
was to dine that night at the royaI
table, because, one of their guests hav-
ing failed, their number amounted to
the fateful thirteen. | accordingly pre-
scented myself, and we were already
seated at table when observed that the
MarcheSa eli Villadrina, one of the
queens ladies' in waiting, was absent.
A message shortly arrived from her to
the effect that her maid. in doing her
hair, dropped the tongS on her shoulder
and so disligured her that she begged
their maJestieS to excuse her from at
tendance. Perceiving the situation, |
quietly left my place and was softly
creeping out of the room, when the
King called out to me quite angriIy and
exclaimed: Return to your place.
When once any one has taken his seat
at my table, he eats his dinner there
SO that evening we dined thirteen at
table,.
"On Victor EmmanuePs death King
Humbert, among other personal prop
erty, inherited from him some land in
Piedmont, the use Of which had been
enjoyed during the late kings life
time by the celebrated ContesSa di Mar
lilore. For this reason Queen Mar
gherita declared her intention of never
going there, and the associations con-
neeted with the property were also pro-
1Oundly diStaSteful to the king. He
was about to sell 1t at an extremely low
price when [ induced friend to offer
his majesty 10000 lire more than he
had almost decided to accept from an
ether person. The king, in thank
ing me for my services in the affair,
asked me l0klngly what commission l
wanted. Sire [ replied, were 1

MAY HAVE MORE.

The old states are slipping out of the
Republican reach, and it may be neces-
Sary for them 10 resume the creation of
new ones in order to hold the senate. 1t
was understood when Idaho and Wy
oming were rushed in before the cen
SuS was completed that they exhausted
all the available material. That des-
ignatiOn has not SO much to do with
the population and other minor Incl
dents in state building as with their
style of voting. The elections on the
4th afford new data for use in the mat
ter. New Mexico voted more numer-
ously than either, perhaps than both
OF the latest states admitted, but seems
to have felt the infection of the
country and turned to the Den o.
Gratis with unwonted strength. 1t is
evident that its people are not
becoming qualified for fuIl-orbed
citizenship such as the state autonomy
affords. No door will open for New
Mexico. But there are Oklahoma and
Arizona. They have, perhaps, discov-
cred the fact that the Republicans
might be in need of still more states,
and have voted to impress upon the
leaders their qualifications. People are
apt to have the impression that OkIaho-
ma is small piece of land that crowd
OF darkieS and border men ran over
each other to get TO year or SO ago, and
which has nearly been lost to view
since. But, as matter of fact. Mr..
POTTER counted more people there than
in the state of Wyoming, and the Re-
publicans have sure thing of it. They
can be relied upon to send to the senate
two straight Republicans. Arizona, too,
has about the same population, and is
eqnally staunch politically in its
promises. These new states do not
count much in the popular branch of
congress or the presidential vote, but
they loom up in the senate as large as
the biggest and oldest. Here is popu-
lar revolution that has swept the coun-
t1y like tornado, and nearly driven
the Republican party out of the
house, but the senate has been packed
from the new little states and stands
in the path of the people. 1t has begun
to feel the shock little, and it is init
mated that the party could be induced
to look favorably upon the applications
of few more reliable candidates for
statehood. The practical difficulty in
their way is that the session only ex-
tends from December to March, and un4
less the candidates have their state
equipment under way, they Will not
have time to complete it.

Fatal Abuse of the Corset.

New L Ork Star.
Hitherto we have been told that the
vices introduced by white men are de-
populatng the South Sea islands, but
now it appears that white women are
responsible for the rapid depopulation
of New leland. When female mission
aries went among the Maoris they in
sisted that the Maori women should
wear clothing. The latter could not be
induced to overcome their prejudice
against skirts. but discovering that the
missionary women wore corsets they
decided that the latter was a garment
not wholly devoid of merit. The result
is that every Maori woman now goes
about her daily work neatly clad in
corset laced as tight as the united eff
forts Of half dozen stalwart warriors
can lace it. Being unaccustomed to
tight lacing the women are dying off
with great rapidity, and the repentant
female missionaries now regret that
they ever asked their dusky sisters to
consider the question of clothing.
