The Queen of Belgium, according to
foreign papers, has considerable talent
for musical composition, and devotes
the greater part of her leisure time to
musical study.
Mr.. Gladstone is threatened with len
ticular cataract of the eye that was in
jured by missile at Chester in July
last. but the disease has thus far made
only slight progress.
Lady Burton is at present engaged
upon a life of lrer husband, which she
hopes to have ready early next year, or
possibly by next Christmas. She in

fishing industry of Baltimore, village
not far from Skibbereen, County Cork.
A browning effort on the part of her
ladyship, assisted by Rev. Father Davis,
is railway which the late government
was induced to construct for the pur-
pose of assisting Ireland's industrial
progress. The line is to be opened
shortly, and the baroness has under

Lord Acton. who was MI. GladStone's
travelling companion to Braemar the
other day, is said to have one of the fin
est libraries in England, and is himself
man of great learning. He sat in the
house of commons for Carlow from
1859 TO 1865 as Sir John Acton, and was

minister for the black republic in 1892,
and will probably succeed the presi-
dent, Dr.. Cheeseman. He is the author
of two books on Eastern travel and
work on the future of the negro.
American colleges have conferred upon
him no less than four degrees. DIR.
Blyden was born in the West Indies
and his wife in Richmond, Va. Both
were slaves in childhood.

WHERE THE RE 7PONSIBILIT Y
BELONGS

The GLOBE has no sympathy with the
attacks which the Republican press is
making at this time on President HAIR
RISON. He is not responsible for the
Republican defeat. What strength and
luster the enemy had during the cam
paign just ended was derived from his
administration. The Democrats have
been unable to question his ability, his
high character, his patriotism or his
wisdom. They had to admit that his
appointments to office had been prevail
ingIy good, that he had kept himself
and his associates free from the breath
of scandal, that he had sustained the
honor of the country abroad and per-
formed his executive duties at home
with credit and success. If there had
been no material for criticism except
that which President HARRISON him.
self had supplied, the Democracy would
have had but little ammunition for
its warfare. But the denominations
of the Fifty-first congress were still
before the country. The sin of the Nc
KINLEY law, the prodigal expenditure
of a billion dollars in two years, the
threatened enactment of the force bill,
were not forgotten. They cried for
vengeance louder than the presidents
personal merits called for Endorsement.
Let the Republican press be fair and
put the blame where it belongs. The
Legislative, not the executive branch of
the administration, is responsible for
the overwhelming Democratic victory.

NORTH DAKOTA.

North Dakota is the last reported de-
lection from the Republican column.
The latest returns indicate that the flu
SionistS have elected both their state
and electoral tickets. If this thing
keeps up much longer there will be
nothing left to indicate that Minneapolis
had convention. HARRISoN's vote in
the electoral college is rapidly approach
ing the stage of total extinction.
The Republican defeat is one of
the most severe ever visited upon
a political party in this coun-
try. There is not thread left on
which to hang veStige of excuse or
apology for McKinleyism. The country
has overwhelmingly repudiated the in
famous policy of taxing the masses for
the benefit of favored class. On the
boldly proclaimed issue that "Repub-
lican protection is fraud" the Re-
publican party is shattered into frag-
ments, of which Rhode Island and Yer
mont are about all that are large enough
TO be visible.

Bishop Hurst, of the Methodist
church. is ipdustriously pushing the
movement for the establishment of the
American university in Washington. 1t
is his hope and expectation that an en-

Methodists interested are prepared to

ONO.

OHIO is the last straw on the poor old
elephants back. That the very home
of MCKINLEY should declare against
McKinleyism is almost more agony than
the g. o. D. can stand.
The result in Ohio presents some in
teresting features. There was no local
issue, and McKinleyism was the divid-
ing line between the opposing hosts of
battle. McKinleyism may therefore be
considered to have received reputation
at the hands of Ohio; and yet it is but
little while since MCKINLEY himself
was indorsed by Ohio through his cleo
tion as governor.
A fine line of distinction has appar-
emily been drawn between the man and
the measure. Ohio honors MCKINLEY,
the man, for his undeniably high char
acter and honesty of purpose, but Ohio
repudiateS the MCKINLEY tariff as in
imical to the eountry's welfare.

ILLINOIS.

Illinois furnishes the most striking
object lesson of the campaign. There
were no local issues affecting Illinois.
1t was fair and square fight on ma
tional lines. The MCKINLEY bill and
the force bill provided the arguments,
pro and con. Illinois Republicans de-
Tended the tariff policy of their party;
illinois Democrats assailed it. Illinois
Republicans either boldly defended or
vainly sought to evade responsibility
for the policy Of federal force at election
booths to which their party was nation
ally committed; while Illinois Demo-
Gratis made this policy the object of
their persistent attack. The result
shows that a majority of the citizens of
the hitherto Republican state of Illinois
are opposed to McKinleyiSm and OPP
posed to the force bill
1t might be urged that the same con-
ditions prevailed in Ohio and, to GER
tain extent, this is true. But Ohio has
always been subject to sudden spasms
of contrtion for its Republicanism.
Though customarily Republican in
presidential elections, it has every now
and then taken notion to elect Dem
Ocratic governor or a Democratic legls-
lature. Illinois, on the other hand,
never ialtered in its Republicanism
until McKiEleyism and the force bill
became recognized as the chief articles
in the Republican creed. Two years
ago Illinois secured a Democratic SEN
atOr-the first since DoUGLAs-on these
issues, and Tuesdays result was only a
broader and grander declaration that
Illinois is opposed to class legislation
and bayonet politics.

Politicians Now Figuring on
Its Makeup After
March 4.
AS Generally Figured Out
Several Old Members Will
Be Chosen.
The New York Senatorship
Also of Interest to a Great
Many.
Many Of the Higher Positions
in the Departments Now
Vacant.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The result OF
the election being positively settled
here, politicians. are turning their atten-
tion to the possible make up of Presi-
dent Cleveland's next cabinet. Many
are also greatly Interested now that the
New York state Legislature is known to
be Democratic Oh joint BALLOT in the
probable successor of United States
Senator Hiscock, whose term expires
March 4 next. 1t is said that Gov.
Flower is ambitious to be the senator's
successor, and that Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan
wants to succeed to the governor Office.
Democratic politicians generally agree
that Gov Flower will be sent to the
senate if he so desires, and Lieut.. Gov.
Sheehan will thus become governor for
the unexpired term.
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan's friends declare
that his splendid achievements during
the present campaign in the interest of
the Democratic party entitle him to the
next nomination for full term. There
has been some talk of Congressman w.
Bourke Cochran for senator. but his
friends allege that he does not want that
place. 1t is said that
He Is Satisfied
with his law practice, and the oppor-
TUNES he has. with his splendid powers,
to make record in the lower house of
congress to which he has just been re-
elected.
The cabinet situation as generally fig
ured out by politicians today was as fol-
lows: Secretary of state, Thomas f.
Bayard, of Delaware; secretary
Of the treasury, John l.. Mitch
ell, or ex-Postmaster General Will
lam F. Villas, of Wisconsin
Secretary of the navy, William G. Whit
ney, of New York; secretary of war,
w. B. Franklin, of New Hampshire
secretary of the interior, Isaac p. Gray.
of Indiana; attorney general, Congress
man William l.. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, or Congressman Culbertson, of
Texas; postmaster general, Don NJ.
Dickinson.
1t has been the generally aceeped be-
lief in political circles that eX-Secretary
Whitney, who has done so much to
achieve the sweeping victory for Cleve-
land, would be offered the place of sec
rotary of state by the president-elect,
but those who appear to know some
thing about it say that Mr.. Whitney
would prefer to be secretary of the navy
if he enters the cabinet at all.

THE COUNTY ELECrIoN.

Ramsey county sends to the next
house of representatives delegation
consisting entirely of Democrats, with
two or, perhaps, three exceptions, and
all the county offices except one will be
filled by Democrats. Mr.. MIEsEN has
been defeated il the race for the shriev-
atty because two other Democrats in the
field divided the party's vote with him.
But apart from him, all the ticket, good,
bad and Indifferent, was elected. The
unanimity of the Democratic victory is
partially due to the strength of Mr..
LAWYER In this county, but it also
proves two things. One of them is
that st. Paul is Democratic city, and
if the Democracy dominates fit men it
can always count on controlling. the
local administration. The other is that
the so-calIed reform movement of
last spring has spent Its force, and that
the people now see through It's selfish
ness and hypocrisy.

AFTER ELECTION TALK.

There are two extraordinary features
Of the post-election talk. One is the
unwiIliugness of the Republicans to
admit tie meaning of the result. Never
since the famous Democratic defeat of
1872 has there been such rout. Re-
publican stronghold after Republican
stronghold has surrendered to the De-
mocracy's triumphant advance. The
one paramount issue of the contest was
the tariff. And yet men are constantly
heard declaring that the doctrine of eX-
IRENE protection has received no re-
buke. None are so foolish as they who
will not learn.
The other noteworthy thing about the
situation is the gloatng of the Repub-
licans over the difficulties of the task
which lies before the Democracy. The
complexities of the tariff problem are
overwhelming. An indefensible SyS-
TEN has been established in this coun-
try, and the people have delegated to
GROVER CLEVELAND and his party the
duty of its removal without disturb
ance of our national industries. This
will be as hard as would have been the
emancipation of the slaves without a
social CONFUSION. The Republicans
seem to be glad because this is so. They
are gleefully predicting that the De-
mocracy will fail. They offer no words
of encouragement. They proffer no as
sistance. They would be happy should
We have four years of panics and bust
ness confusion. They place their party
above their patriotism. The GLOBE
and the country believe that they will
be disappointed. There is the most
universal confidence in the wisdom and
conservatism of GROVER CLEVELAND.

One Branch OF the Government
Left in Republican Hands.
WASHINGTON Nov. 10.-The Judiciary
is the only branch of the government
which will remain under the control of
the Republican party after the 4th of
March next. The district and circuit
judges are, as rule, Republican, and
it is unlikely that there will be Suffi-
clent number of vacancies during the
next four years to enable Mr.. Cleveland
by new appointments to give the DEM
ocratic party a majority of these posi-
tons. Nor is there any probability that
the next administration will have any
opportunity to make the United States
supreme court Democratic. As II is the
court of final resort OH all questions OF
constitutional or federal law the pOlit-
ical predictions of its. justices may at
any time become matter of impor-
lance, though the freedom of the court
from influence by considerations eX-
any case before it is conceded.
The places on the supreme bench
which it is most likely Mr.. Cleveland
will have an opportunity to fill during
the next tour years Gf there be any va
canceS at alb are at present occupied
by Democrats, Justices Field and Lamar
Chief Justice Fuller is the only other
Democrat on the bench. The remaining
six members are Republicans, and
except Justice Blatchford, none of them
are within five years of the age al
which they may retire Oh full pay (sev'
enty years.. Justice Blatchford is in
rigorous health, and as he likes his
work he is in no hurry to take advant-
age of the opportunity the law affords
him, he having served ten years last
spring. The other five members of the
court, viz: Justices Harlan, Dray,
Brown, Brewer and Shiras, are men
hardly past middle age, and so far as
appearances go are each good for dec
ade of service yet.

A Florida Hunters Yarn About
a Dog and a Rabbit.
New Orleans Telegram.
Uncle Cesar was standing a few days
ago with his old fntlock musket in his
hand near an old-fashioned rail fence,
when all at once he heard a terrible rat
Ting and yelping up in the woods near
the saw grass, and looking up he saw
Snip, his favorite bench-legged fee
dog making the leaves fly like whirl-
wind. and Immediately in front of him
swamp rabbit was flying. The rabbit
shot through the fence like an arrow,
the same instant the little dog darted
through the same hole in the fence and
all was quiet.
Uncle Caesar says that he ran to the
spot and saw a huge alligator lying with
his mouth open, into which both the
hare and the dog had run, perhaps
thinking It a hole in log. He at once
sent bullet into the right eye of the
gator, who whirled over on his back,
when Uncle Caesar pulled out his old
pruning knife and made long and deep
incision in the stomach of the gator,
when, to his establishment, the rabbit
and dog both jumped out and flew down
toward the water.

WILL NOT GIVE UP.
Taubeneck Says the Populists
will Continue the Fight.

w III Vic II
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. lO.-An effort to
learn how the Peoples party look at
Tuesdays result was made by an AssO-
ciated Press reporter today. Chairman
Taubeneck, of the national campaign
committee, was the only leader of the
party in town.
What, in your opinion, caused the
revolution In public sentiment as eX-
pressed at the polls on the 8Ih Of No
Yember?" he was asked.
First, above all, the spirit of unrest,
of discomfort and dissatisfaction among
the people of the nation. Second,
the fact that the old party ties are
loosened. if not broken. 1t has
taken the American people long
years to discover that a tariff is
q tax, and that the foreign manu-
facturer does not pay this tax. 1t has
cost them millions of dollars to learn
and solve that question. 1t will now
take them years to learn that tariff for
revenue only will not remove the bur
den of which they complain. In my
opinion the people have simply jumped
out of one fire into another"
Twill the Peoples party give up the
fight on the line mapp ed out?'
