mo Governor elected: the
vote for other State officers or
Congress.
The maiorities given are iuva-
riably those cast for the head Of
the ticket. The States marked
by an asterisk O. elected no
Governor last year, and the
majority is taken for the other
State officer at the head Of the
ticket. In a few States, includ-
ing New York, Virginia and
Louisiana, there were no con-
tests for State Offices in 1890,
and we give the majorities for
Congress. There was no oppo-
sition TO the Democratic State
ticket in Georgia, and the ma.
i0rity given there il practically
the whole vote cast, and Demo
craticl Goyernors were elected
in Pennsylvania and Oregon
when the States voted Republi.

these advantages are fully over
borne by the split votes in tho
West, where Republicans wiz
over a third party in Minnesota
by only 2,2G7, and are the thirC

Democratic majority is over th,
third party. IL the Democrat

be done with entire justice, th

The Crushing Verdict Of 1890.

rAilsdsiphia Timsa
At last we have the official
vo5e of every State as cast dur
ing the year 1890, and it pre-
sents the most startling figures
in the history of American poll
tics. Irdeed, the political rev.
olus;on OF last year has never
been approached in any Of the
many revolutions which have
made or unmade parties.
The two sweeping revolutions
Of our political history were the
defeat of Van Euren by Harri-
SON in 1910 and the defeat o.
Scott by Pierce in 1882. Van
Buren, carried only six States
against Harrison, but the popu-
lar majority was only las, 800,
and Scott carried only four
States, but the popular majority
was only 2O2, 0OS. Even the
Grant Greeley campaign of 1872,
that was practically given up
by the supporters of Greeley
after the October elections and
allowed TO go by default, gave
Grant only 51,4Sl majority;
but the popular majority against
the Republicans in 1890 reaches
the appalling figures of 91s,079.
The following official MAORI
ties in the A States at the cleo
tons of 1890, we have compiled
from the Tribune Almanac just
issued:

Coyote.Th at.Bites.

Frank B. Willard in the Overland Monthly.l
 Not every Apache can get his fill of blood before sun-up and his fill of mescal before noon. Yet Coyote-That-Bites had managed to achieve both these delightful ends, and of all the happy savages on the Colorado desert he was the most notori- ously, tumultuously happy. With what keen delight he had drawn his sharp blade across the throats of Jose Sanchez and his wife, after he had stolen into their wagon in the gray dawn, and what thrills of joy shot through his breast when he silenced the yells of their two little children with the butt end of their fathers own rife. And then, when he had taken what gold
 was in the Mexican's bag, what mescal was in his demijohn, and had strapped Jose's
 rather loose-ftting cartridge belt about his
 sun-brown belly, with what fierce pleasure he stole away from the scene of his bloody
 work, and, with the Mexican's rife on his shoulder, had wandered far down the dry arroyo, slipping from the demijohn the stupefying juice of the agave from time to time until he felt that he was growing drowsy.
 Then he had dragged his uncertain way along until he had come to the railroad track. He stared stupidly at the bright
 steel rails, and looked up at the humming wires in an awed sort of way. He would
 like to lie there behind the rocks, he thought, until some one should come along
 the track, and then try shot at him with
 his newly acquired weapon, The demi- john was growing light and the rife was growing heavy. Well, it was getting to-
 wards noon, and rather warm, even for an Apache, and he would lie down in the shade of the rocks over there and rest. The humming of the wires is a soothing | sound, and no sooner had his head touched I the earth than sleep took mighty hold upon him and wiped out his realizing sense of joy, as sleep has way of doing
 with everybody that has anything to be

ANOTHER CURE.

The Keeley cure for drunkenness is not more interesting than that set forth by Dr. Charles Lloyd Tuckey, who thinks that much can be done for drunkards by hypnotic suggestion. He gives some strik ing instances. In one case 8 gentleman who seemed to have lost all power of self control, so far as alcohol was concerned, was restricted by him to the use of light wines and beer at his meals and ordered never to touch spirits, but to hold them in abhorrence. Though he never lost con- sciousness in the hypnotic state, he has never exceeded the allowance granted, and has had Eo relapse. A merchant subject to the periodical mania for alcoholic excess was treated by hypnotic suggestion, though he retained full consciousness, and he continued for seven months without suffering from the appetite. Then, under peculiar circumstances, he took to drinking again, but for one day only. Then he was able to control himself of his A manager of an important company, who had been dismissed for drunkenness, was thrown into deep hypnotic sleep and then told that alcohol was poison to him, and that in the future the taste of it would make him violently i'll. When he awaked, small glass of beer brought on an attack of illness, and he has had no relapse to drinking habits. A short time ago he re- jected with loathing glass of whiskey offered him in sudden illness, so strong is his acquired mental distaste for alcohol and his physical reaction against it. In all these cases the treatment lasted from three weeks to month and somewhat more.
 If hypnotic suggestions will cure drunk enness it should receive more attention than it has received. Such a use of it would be much more beneficial to the world than the usual fooling with it is.

tecost came out to India last year, some thought, ,and we are not sure but he thought himself, that something entirely new in the line of mission methods was to be tried, and marvellous results were expected to follow. But so far nothing remarkable, He has addressed large audiences composed of Europeans, Eurasians and educated Hindus; but others have done the same long before Dr. Pentecost ever thought of it. A few have been converted, but the great toutpouring of the Spirit is still future. Dr. Pentecost has done well, and we trust he will yet do better, but, viewed in the light of what was expected, his mis- sion can hardly be called remarkable suc- cess"
 The Des Moines Registers analysis of the vote of Iowa in the last election, with ref erence to the question of prohibition, shows that the revolution of sentiment in the State, since the amendment received 50,000 majority in 1882. has been as com plete as such changes usually are. While only 23 counties in 1882 voted against pro hibition, 39 counties this year supported the prohibition candidate. The change of opinion, however, is made much more manifest by the fact that 19 populous counties, which in 1882 gave majorities for prohibition, gave pluralities for Boies in 1891, showing an aggregate change of nearly 16,000 votes on this issue. Only nine of the 66 counties gave increased ma jorities for prohibition, and many of these nine counties are in the northwestern part of the State, where the saloon issue is less pressing than it is in the more populous counties along the Mississippi river.

The parochial school question is 8 burning" one in Massachusetts,, and deep interest has been felt throughout the State in the case which has just been decided by Judge Hayden in the municipal court at Fitchbury. Four French residents of the city were charged with infraction of the statute which requires children to be sent to a public day school or to private day school approved by the school committee. These four Frenchmen had sent their children to the parcchial school of St. Joseph's parish, which school had not been approved by the school committee on the ground that it did not furnish an edu- cation equivalent to that of the public schools, and that half the teaching was in the French language, in direct violation of the law which says that all the teach ing shall be in the English language. The superintendent of schools, J. 0. Eagerly, states that he and the committee have done their best to have the matter adjusted peaceably. They have had conferences with the French priest 1n charge of the school and with most of the prominent supporters of it, but without avail, and it was finally de- cided to bring the matter to law. In the trial, Father Jeanette, the French priest, testified that his parochial school occupied two rooms and had about one hundred pupils. Testimony with regard to the teachinp in the school WAS refused on the sufficient ground that the school had not received the approval of the school com mittee, though two of the teachers testi- fled that French was used in teaching only when it was absolutely necessary.
 Judge Hayden decided against the parochial school, and his decision will be welcomed by all friends of the public schools. It is certainly not asking too much that teaching in private schools sub stituted for the public schools must be in the English language in all its branches.

Seville.

Sevillel City of the Sun, I fly to thee, my task is done; Weary heart and weary brain, Thou canst make them young again. Here, beneath this cloudless blue, All things wear festal hue; Life seems but painted thing, An insect with gaudy wing, A full-blown rose, lovers dream, The light that sparkles on the stream Long checlzered years have pass'd away, Once more among those scenes I stray; And all below, around, above, Still tells of careless joy or love; Sunburnt dancers nightly met With gypsy song and castanet, Where the colored lanthorns gleam By the Guadalquivir's stream, And the white Montilla's flow Softer than the falling snow. And the deftly -quivering fan Telling more than language can, And the roses in the hair, And the scent that loads the air, Rising from the orange grove Where belated lovers rove Through the balmy nights of spring. When the birds most sweetly sing, But not half so sad a tale As our northern nightingale. Lovely city, let me be For time at one with thee; From my heart all sadness chase, Free me for little space From the tumult and the strife And the seriousness of life; Let thy northern sisters boast They can work and win the most; Wealth and wisdom are their dover; Thine is the enchanter's power Thine the gift to oothe and sway, Charming all our cares away.

No signs of tswater famine" in this neighborhood.
 Business is business. Rev. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Ala bama, delivered an interesting address at Boston on Sunday, in the course of which he said that when an industrious black man gets mortgage on white mans house ';that white man won't drive his colored neighbor away from the polls."
 There is discussion in Missouri news papers of the proper pronounciation of the name of their State. It seems to be understood that the plain people call it 'Mizzouree" and the patrician folk "Miz zourah." Arkansas settled a similar dis pute some years ago by a statute which made the correct pronunciation "Arkan- saw," with the accent on the first sylla- ble.
 Now that ex-President Hayes has done something to shake off the hen incubus, more changes may yet follow. The St. Louis Republic, whose Democracy no one will question, says that MT. Hayes can well afford to submit to the judgment of his tory, for it will certainly say of him that he did more to restore the union of free and independent States than was ever done by any Republican president, or by all the Republican presidents together.
 One of the beauties of civil service ex- aminations is illustrated in this incident, which occurred recently in Washington: A newspaper contained the announcement of a vacancy in 8 subordinate place requiring special scientific attainments. A few men hanging around Washington for something to turn up saw the advertisement and placed themselves under 8 teacher to "cram" for the examination. That one of their number who showed the highest average secured the place, though he had no special competency. A man who was competent to fill the place, residing many miles from Washington, made application, but his letter was received too late. Thus tyro was appointed when an expert might have been secured, to the disgust of the scientific men in the Washington bureaus.
 The governments of the Australian col
 onies have received 8 circular letter from
 the British secretary of state for the col
 onies, asking that all procurable informa- tion about the decline of the fur seal fish cries in the southern hemisphere be sent to the Canadian government. Canada wants the information for use in connec- ton with the Behring sea question: Hunt ing the southern fur. seal, or sea bear, was
 an important industry in the early part oi
 the present century, but it is reported that
 the islands on which they then sbounded are now cleared of seals. The habits of the fur seals of the Northern Pacific ocean and
 those of the southern hemisphere appear
 to be very similar, and it is thought that
 the history of the decline of the southern fishery may indicate some proper system of protection for the seals in Behring sea A Baptist missionary, now in India | speaks thus of the work of the Rev
