THE MAJORITY OF 444.

1t is the Republican party that will
ha We to scratch gravel to get 223 of the
444 electoral votes. at the next presi-
Dental election. And it will have to
scratch it very lively, too. A calm and
dispassionate observer will tax his brain
out of shape to figure up, even on the
most liberal lines, enough states to give
the Republicans an approximation to
the 223 electoral votes necessary to elect.
Everybody will admit that New York
and New Jersey are sure Democratic
states. Indiana can only be carried by
the opposition when there are abnormal
reasons for doing so. 1t complimented
Harrison with its vote because he was
an Indianian, and there was a free use
of "blocks OF fives" and OF Colonel Du d.
ley's dark and sinuous tactics to that
end. But conditions will be changed at
the next election, and Indiana can
hardly be placed in the doubtful
column even by the aid of the
Dudleys and the Davenports. With
these states and the southern phalanx,
only three votes will be lacking to Ian d
the Democratic candidate in the White
House. Michigan's district electoral
system will furnish those three votes
sans ceremonie.
The ardent Republican who wants to
figure out how to beat this combination
will have to get up before the chickens.
To do 50 he will have to give his party
all the other states and gather in either
stands like rock in the Democratic
column, 30 there is no need of any fig
ure-fooling with that state.
There is far more probability that the
Democrats will carry Iowa and Montana
than that the Republicans will make
another successful break in Indiana.
The vote last year and this shows how
the political kangaroo is jumping in
those states, and they have sixteen elec.
toral votes, one more than Indiana.
In running over the presidential field
the New York World points to the fact
that there are other points Of weakness
in the Republican column. Connecticut
has given Democratic pluralities in the
last five elections. Henry Cabot Lodge
told the Republicans OF Massachusetts,
plainly at the second election of Russell
this year, that they must "iight for the
state" next year. New Hampshire gave
1900 Democratic majority for Democratic
representatives last year, and only rine-
ty-three plurality for the Republicaa 4
governor. The state has secret ballot
law which will help the Democrats, and
the Republican party is rent by fac
tional feud. Rhode Island gave Dem
ocratic majority of 1900 for rep
resentatives last year, and has given a
Democratic plurality for governor for
three years in succession. Wisconsin is
by no means safely Republican. 1t
elected Democratic governor last year
by $4,000 plurality, and gave Demo-
cratic plurality OF SO 900 on congressman.
Illinois elected Democratic treasurer
by 9S47 plurality last year, and gave a
Democratic plurality Of 81, ,0OO and a
majority over all OF 10000 on congl ess-
men.
The conundrum which the aforesaid
ardent hasSto answer s: How are the
Republicans going to win without New
York?

AFFAIRS IN SAMOA.
Mataafa's Jealousy and Heavy Taxation
Causing DissensiOns.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-The steamer
Mariposa arrived today from Australia,
via Honolulu. H. G. Ide, who has re-
signed the position of United States
land commissioner at Samoa, was a
passenger on the steamer. He states
that while affairs at Samoa are quiet at
the present time, there is likely to be
difficulty there before great while, un-
less there is decided change. Mataafa
is jealous of Malietoa as king, and is
creating feeling among his own fol-
lowers that does not warrant peace.
One of the principal causes of dissension
is due to the heavy taxation on the peo-
Pile. Chief Justice Cederkrantz imposed
capitation tax on the population, and
certain other taxes, which realized al
together about $22,0 900. This point has
been used by Mataafa, and he has sue
ceeded in causing dissensions among the
natives.

EVERYBODY ought to be happy over
the fact that all the churches and all the
athletic grounds were crowded yester-
day. When we add that the Inaugural

asylum were largely attended, and the
interest manifested in the institution was
earnest and profound, no one will deny
that the day OF thanks passed off brave
ly and well in Los Angeles.

THE Republicans will have more
doubtful states to look after in 1892 than
they have been troubled with in any
presidential contest in twenty-five years
before. They cannot concentrate their
efforts upon New York and Indiana
when they must fight to regain even
Iowa and Massachusetts,.

Two Glasses OF Gyps1es.

The gypsies of today are divided up
into the full blooded Or tent gypsies, and
the Kairengroes or house dwellers, who
keep their gypsy blood a secret. This
division of the race shows that they are
gradually yielding to the pressure Of
outside influences, and the complete ex-
tinction of their national identity will
simply be matter of me.-George

MT. Thorpe's History of North
 Mr. Sheldon B. Thorpe, author of the interesting and valuable historical papers entitled North Haven Annals, which have been published from time to time in the JOURNAL AND COURIER during the last few years, is about to issue the same in book form, provided he can secure enough subscriptions in advance to insure cost of publication and attendant expenses and outlays. The thoroughness and complete ness of the work, it's fidelity to the facts, the impartial spirit in which it was writ ten, and it's value as we'll written his tory of the town will no doubt insure liberal patronage for the work. In it's preparation, MT. Thorpe has had consid- erable encouragement from prominent people of the town and from people who now reside elsewhere, but are North Ha- veners by birth and ancestry, whose hearts are loyal to the old town, and who are much pleased with MT. Thorpe's his tory. MT. Thorpe has no time to canvas for the sale of the book or to employ agents. The price of the book has been fixed at two dollars, very reasonable sum for such publication. Any orders sent to MT. S. 5. Thorpe, North Haven, will re- ceive prompt attention.

NEW YORK, September 2S.
 At the stock exchange this morning the open ing was in general at higher figures than Satur- days finals, but the selling pressure in Missouri Pacific, with the resultant material decline, was too mhch for the strength of the list, and frac- tional recessons followed all along the line. The lowest prices were reached towards D. m., but no marked upward movement took place until the last hour, when everything moved up and with considerable animation. The early losses were nearly wiped out. The market finally closed fairly active and firm at the rally, leaving most stock sfractonally lower than Saturday, while the only material loss for the day was Wa bash preferred.
