Gov. Russell's D'sappointmen

Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts,, has been
congratulating himself ever since the cleo
ton on his great popularity. The returns
showed no was elected by a plurality of
200 votes, Notwithstanding the fact that
Gen. Harrison carried the state By about
$4,000. But it turns out that his plurality
was due to the stupidity of republican
voters, about 20 900 of whom voted for both
the republican and prohibition candidates
for governor, thus vitiating their ballots so
far es the governorship was concerned.
The name of the republican candidate for
lieutenant governor was Roger Walcott,
and the name of the prohibition candidate
for governor was Walcott Hamliu. The
Australian ballot system is in use in Massa-
chusetts and the names of all the
candidates are on one ticket. The voter
makes cross before the names of
the candidates for whom he wishes
t. vote, More than 20 900 republicans made
a mark opposite the names of Mr., Halle. the
! republican candidate for governor. and be-
| fore that Of Walcott Hamlin thinking they
were voting of Roger Walcott, the repub-
lican candidate for lieutenant governor.
had 1t not been for this mistake the repub-
lican candidate for governor would have
been elected by more than Il, OOO plurality.
There is no way to remedy the mistake
and Gov. Russell will serve as governor of
Massachusetts for a third time with the
knowledge that he is not the choice of n
plurality Of his constituents
The situation which an inspection of the
ballots has disclosed is exceedingly IN.
pleasant to him, but he is not in any way to
blame for it. He has no longer the salts
faction of feeling that he carried the demo-
cratic banner to victory in a republican
state in presidential year.

Chics1o's Creed.

. One of the most conspicuous things In
connection with the Columbian fair il
Chcsgo's purpose TO make every cent out
Of IL that she possibly can. She has done
much to make it a local institution by filling
al the places within the gift Of the authori-
ties of the fair with her own citizens. Ap
phcants for positions who do not reside IN
Chicago have almost invariably met with
disappointment.
( TIE effort Of the Chicago hotel men L
get the railroads to reduce passenger rates
illustrates pretty clearly the greed that
dominates nearly all classes In that city.
When the hotel men heard that the great
trunk lines from the east did not intend
TO reduce rates except on the most rapid
trains they were indignant and at once held
a meeting and appointed a committee TO &C
to New York and demand reduction from
the trunk line presidents. They said thai
unless passenger rates were reduced thou.
sa ads of people would be deprived OF the
privilege of seeing the fair.
Mr.. Potter Palmer, Of the Palmer house,
and T. V. Farwell, the leading dry goods
merchant, we're appointed to gee the trunk
line presidents. They met the presi-
dents and had their little talk.
They we're made to see their greed
before the talk ended. President Roberts,
of the Pennsylvania road asked them what
passenger rate they would suggest. They
said single fair for the round trip. Mr..
Roberts then asked Mr.. Palmer what reduc-
ton he purposed to make 10 his hotel rates.
He said he did not intend 70 make
any. He even admitted that the ques-
tion of raising rates was being considered.
Mr.. FarWell was asked what reduction he
purpossd to make in the prices Of the mer-
chaudise be offered for sale. He d elsred he
had no intention Of making any,
although he expected 8 very large increase
in his trade
MIR. Roberts said the trunk lines were
preparing for tho increased traffic by ex-
pending millions of dollars for rolling stock
and for betterments, and be did not see why
the railroads should reduce rates one-half
If the Chicago hotelkeepers intended to
maintain rates, and even increase them, and
if the merchants purposed to get all they
could for their goods.
Messrs. Palmer and Farwell seem to
have thought that Chicago's greed had been
overlooked, and that the Chicago peo-
pie could fill their pockets at
the expense Of the people of
nearly the whole country without pro-
test They have been made aware of their
mistake. Exorbitant hotel aud other
charges will keep as many people away
from the fair as will high passenger rates.
II the Chicago people want the passenger
rates lowered they must set the example OF
being satisfied with reasonable profits.
Chicago's greed is colossal. It threatens
to interfere with the financial success of the
fair.

a Florida Hermit.

At the head of the extensive widening of the
st. Johns river, in Volusis township, Florida,
that is known as Lake George, lie two or three
swampy islands, says the New York Sun. One
of these has few acres of ground that stand
high enough out OF the water to encourage
orange trees and other remuuerative growths
and also to afford room for cabin. The cabin
is occupied and the trees are cultivated by a
queer old fellow who has built long, ram
shackle bridge from dry land to q little dock
that stands in the sedge close to the main chan
neil Here the steamer stops on his signal to
take oranges and letters, or to deliver flour and
other groceries. He is a hermit who seldom
ventures to the mainland. Passengers on the
river steamers occasionally see him busted
about the little shed on his wharf, an extraor-
binary figure in homespun suit of brown,
with patch of startling white on the seat OF
his trousers and an indescri bable hat that NAV
once have been plug but that has been
chopped and banged and battered and unroofed

chspeau more than anything else. He is indif =
ferenL to criticism however, for he lives apart
from men. His nearest neighbor is a light house
keeper, who would have to hunt for him with a
telescope Some affect to believe that in his
younger days he was pirate.

A Cleveland IRISH Story.

President-elect Cleveland's trip TO Fxmore,
Va. serves to recall a number Of fishing stories
told of him, says a Washington dispatch in the
New York World One of these was related
to-day by Joe Jefferson the actor, who is now
10 Washington.
Mr.. jefferson, who fished a great deal with
Mr.. Cleveland during the summer months says
hardly day passed that stories did not appear
in the newspapers concerning their marvellous
success Both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Jeffer-
son were frequently astolished to see how the
fish grew in numbers after they were landed

Whatever base ball may have been, or
may be in the future, it is clear that foot
ball is the national game at present. 1t is
probable that 100000 people turned out to
see the twenty-five games that were played
in the principal cities of the country on
Thanksgiving day, 80, 600 of whom attended
the Yale-Princeton game in New York
And the majority of these spectators were
as enthusiastic over punts and PUSHES as
they bad been in the summer over base hits
and home runs. The remarkable popularity
of foot ball suggests that it, like base ball
may be taken from the colleges and made a
league game. with circuits, professional
players pennants and other accompani-
ments, just like the erstwhile great Ameri-
can game" Even now 1t is probable that
certain "magnates" are calculating on the
cost and possible profits OF such leagre,
preparatory to organizing one.

The Ratio Between Gold and Silver.

From the Net0 York Evening Post und.l.
The question of a ratio lies at the heart OF the
whole problem of bimetallism. Our ratio is l6

market ratio is about 26lS to l. Leaving out OF
view the question whether 1t would be possible
for ell the nations represented at Brussels to
hold the ratio firm when once agreed upon,
what chance is there that the silver producers in
this country would agree upon the ratio of 25lS
to ~ That is what they have now, in the open
market. Why should they all the way to
Brussels to get something which they already
possess9 This question may be asked of the
slverites who are not silver producers. They
want cheaper money than gold, to pay debts
with. But the ratio of 25l6 to win not give it
TO them. That is exactly what they have now,

A Lost Chord Found.
FROM The Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
We stood alone in the choir loft,
BY the organ tail and grim.
While over the keys her fingers
Followed their own sweet within;
l spoke of the coming parting.
And pleaded one farewell kiss,
But her modest wish forbade me
Lest the sexton old might list.
Then struck on the organ a strong, full chord
And ere its echoes died
In the twilight grim of the old gray church
l kissed my promised bride.
We stood again by the organ,
When many years had fled,
But she thought me grown Id and heartless
And thought her old love dead.
/ spoke of our last fond pa ting
OF the chord and its tender tide,
And how like the sound Of that music
Our love had throbbed and died.
Then my heart leaped up with great, glad
bound
And forgot its recent pain.
For she blushed, and, dropping her lashes. said
Gould you find me that chord again :"

Passengers who rode out TO Plainfeld, N

night suburban train few nights ago I'M
consciously had an adventure which would

Soma VIII Be Disannointsd.

Among the anxious statesmen whose
friends have named them for cabinet posi-
tions not few will be disappointed. There
is nothing more interesting in politics, and
at the same time amusing, than the in
dustry shown by that large class Of in
dividuals who feel it their duty to construct
q cabinet for the incoming President
They seem to think they have special fit
ness for such work, and they ignore alto
gether the fact that perhaps the President
elect would like to have a word to say
about the matter
Mr.. Cleveland has already cen told,
virtually, that the success Of his admins
tration depends upon his putting this or
that man at the head OF the state depart
ment, or the navy department or some
other one of the departments. In fact the
newspapers have 1t that the President-elect
and the Vice President-elect were on the
edge of Il quarrel relative to the question Of
putting a comparatively unknown Chicago
man in the cabinet. There is no truth, of
course. In this story. Mr.. Cleveland is not
at all likely to consult Mr.. Stevenson in
respect to cabinet appointments, and Mr..
Stevenson would make great mistake if he
we're to attempt to dictate to Mr.. Cleveland
as to who should have place in the cabinet
and if he did not attempt to dictate there
could be nothin resembling a quarrel.
There will be good many cold days be-
fore Mr.. Cleveland finally decides upon the
men who will be invited to seats in his
cabinet and many who are being urged for
cabinet positions will find themselves out in
