HIS FIRST JOKE.

Mr.. Cleveland has lightened up the cam
paign with joke. An uncommonly good one
too lie has not heretofore been suspected of 4
humorous propensity lie has said a great
many things during his career that seemed to
some people to be out Of sight, and beyond
all measure wise and profound, and said them
in such ponderous way that TO these people
every word seemed to weigh AT least "A pound.
But he has never, to our knowledge. INDUCED
in Joke Even that remarkable occasion on
which Senator BIZ Brown organized his
celebrated lovo-fcaSt and Cancellation din
ner at the Manhattan Club at cost OF
1925 plate, with Mr.. Cleveland and Sena-
tor Hill as the principal tigures-even that
highly hilarious occasion when everybody bub-
bled over with fun failed 10 draw from him
a single humorous suggestion. lie is very
great man, but has not hitherto been con-
sidered a humorist even by William Il. Grace
or Ellery Anderson. And even if he had been
addicted to humor, it is obvious that there
has been nothing in the campaign thus far Ia
draw il ont on the contrary, everything to
suppress it. That he should suddenly break
out with n joke and good joke, too, under
such circumstances is highly creditable to him.
This was the way of it. General George F.
Afford, Of Texas, who tells the story. was at
the Victoria Hotel during one of Mr.. Clcyc-
lands recent visits 10 the city. and seeing so
many people sending up their cards took a
notion to send in his own. having written on
the back of it You will carry Texas this time
without doubt" TO the Generals surprise he
not expecting any response, Mr.. Cleveland, upon
reading the card. sent for him at once Upon
ais entrance into the room Mr.. Cleveland greeted
him with great cordially and. then referring
10 the card. said : General, this almost over
comes me- First Wayne MacVeagh came over
10 us. then Judges Gresham and Cooley, and
now YOU assure me that Texas will 90 Demo
cratic. This is almost too good to be true
At first blush considering Mr. Cleveland
habitual manner and the rather gloomy prospect
before him, it might be supposed that he was
serious about il, and was really overcome by
the news that even Texas was likely 10 60
for him. But this does not happen to be the
case. for General Afford was particular to say
that he spoke " joculary."
The Joke is little rough on MacNeagh,
Gresham and Cooley, who will hardly feel fiat
tered by having their conversion 10 De-
nocracy compared as surprise with Texas gone
Democratic, but all the same il is Il good
one. full OF humor We congratulate Mr. Cleve-
land on his first joke. 1t is to be hoped that
he will keep it up. And after the election is
over we shall hope to hear from him frequently
as a contributor to some Of the comic weckles.

next year. The railroad earnings tell tile same
story Of swelling traffic. In September the in
crease on 1879 railroads reported by The Finan-
cial Chronicle" waJ 81 400, 900, or 80 pcr cent.
although last years movement was by far the
greatest then ever known. In October the re-
ports Of fifty roads thus far show an increase Of
AZ per cent. The assertions. often made for DO.
litical purposes, that thousands Of men are now
unable to obtain work, arc cOntradicted in most
conclusive manner by the automatic record which
trade makes for itself as they are By the crowded
streets of this and other Cities and the blockadcd
railroads at many Western points. Car famina
does not mean business stagnation.
The Treasury is forced to accumulate money be
cause its receipts from customs are far beyond
all expectation. The imports at New-York In
two weeks Of October have been $27,S32, s45.
against 81 0,sss,363 last year, gain Of 80 pee
cent Exports for the two weeks show q de.
crease of $2;74i,0 900, or - per cent in valne In
great degree owing to the low Trces at which
products are going out. Thus, 100000 bushels
both coasts; against 5000. 900 bushels last year,
but the difference in export price would cause
q decrease of 81 100000 in value on that item
alone So the decline of cents 10 cotton, on
the quantity exported in two weeks would mean
a decrease of S2,2O0,000 in value. The Treas.
ury has added 100000 gold and Ssoo,ooo
silver to it's stock during the week, but has put
mt Sl6O0,000 in notes, and while the New
York banks have reduced their surplus reserves
mite low. no interior markets report any strln-
gency in money or lack OF sufficient supply ior
legitimate trade.

FRAUDS For TIE SAKE OF REFORM.


Wednesday next is the second day of regis
tration in this city. The first day, for reasons
that are obvious. having to do with the Column
bian festivities, produced result smaller by
about 5000 than the first days registration of
1888. From an examination Of the registry lists
it does not appear that this was unfavorable
to the Republican party. The exposures so
fully made by Mr.. David Martin of Democratic
preparations TO COLOMBO voters in hotels and
lodging houses in this city and to register and
vote Thorn in various precincts and at various
polling places caused the Democratic managers
to proceed warly. There was some illegal
registration last week. but it was not nearly
so great as had been anticipated. In Mr.. Mar
tins exposures there was published a list of
some forty or fifty clearinghouse where the
Democratic managers had congregated host
of illegal voters. From these places as yet
there has been little or no registration, nor
have the proceedings of j. W. Elder and his
gang of Washington and Baltimore repeaters
produced up TO this time any very apparent
result.
Since Elders work was outlined to the public
he has been devotng himself principally to
the preparation of a statement" The issue OF
the exposure was the disntcgraton of his
bureau. Some of his leuenants perceivng
that they were on a sure road to State prison.
abandoned him and returned TO their homes.
His statement has not yet materializcd but
when it does it is hoped that it will deal with
his record in Pamela County, Texas. 1t is
hoped, too, that he will not omit mention Of
the record of Indictment. testimony, conviction
and order of the Court on the files of the Court
of General Sessions of this city held in June,
1874, and that he will also deal with the
court record of the United States Court Of the
District of Columbia, held in 1877, and that he
will also give out the results OF an inyestga-
ton of q committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the first session of the XLVllIth
Congress. All these matters are of particular
Importance as bearing on the character and
conduct of the man whom Chairman Harrity.
Chairman Quincy, Chairman Dickinson and the
rest of the chairmen who compose the highly
respectable outfit who are conducting Mr.
Clevelands reform campaign, have been in
daily association with. and are now attemntino

Special interest attaches to the Whittier
memorial meeting held in Boston last evening
because, In response to request to address
it. DR.. Holmes sent long letter in which he
spoke of the Quaker poet in terms which show
how close was the tic of friendship that bound
the two together. DR.. Holmes especially en-
phasizes the service done by Whittier as a
teacher and prophet of religion. With fond
ness for paradox, he says that there is no
faith that is more real than that which begins
with upbeief'; but he proceeds at once to
give his definition of unbelief-" the protest of
reason against the monstr0sities of tradition
and superstition" Whittier cared little for
crecis he never wearied of procaiming the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood Of man.
Dr.. Holiness tribute to the latest taken Of the
group of poets of whom he is the sole survivor
is all the more truly appreciative because along
with Whittier he names Emerson, Bryant
l.ongfellow and Lowell as also teachers of
larger thoughts of God and man.
The asperities to which the Briggs incident
has given rise will not be softened by the
action of the Union Seminary directors last

placed under the control of the Presbyterian
General Assembly. Of course, they acted
within their rights. and they are fortified with

john Toole Found Guilty OF Assault and
Eaatery ON John Zeigier-Othor
Court Business.

United States Marshal W. +. Furay has
decided to retain his present office. Some
weeks ago he decided to give up the
United States marshalship. under the i'm
preston that the double fee system had
gone out OF existence. in which case tho
office would not pay q great deal. SO he
forwarded his resignation to Washington,
and 1t was to take effect on Sept. 30. Friday
next. The marshal was mentioned at the
time for the republican nomination for
sheriff of Deer Lodge county. The repub-
lican county convention selected some one
else for the nominee. When Marshal Furay
returned to Helena yesterday he was seen
by a number of his party friends. who
asked him to reconsider his resignation and
retain tho Office for the remainder OF his
term. He was also informed that the dou-
bic fee system, which he had understood
ceased on June 30, last, was still in opera
ton. Under the circumstances he con-
cludsd to withdraw his resignation and tel
egraphed Attorney General Miller. at
Washington, to that effect. 1t was gener-
ally understood among the politicians that
had Marshal Furay insisted on his r~esiana-
tion, the president would not likely have
made any appointment to the vacnncy un-
til after the election, when the place would
have gone to Warren Evans, the present
chief deputy.
