Tho Unknown,

When tho Ne,r York Times remarks that
"nobody has any doubt what the election
OF Mr.. CLEVELAND means" it talks incon-
trovertible sense. Mr.. CLEvELAND's cleo
ton meant two things Of that absolute cer-
tuinty which puts them beyond controversy
and discussion. 1t meant the success Of
the Democracy and tho defeat Of the Force
bill. When the Times says further that Mr..
CLEVELAND himself has explained it too
often and too courageOusly before his nomi-
nation and since his election to leave any
body in doubt it rambles blindly into the
drcamland where Muswumps hold their
worship. Since the message OF 1887 there
has been nothing in Mr.. CLEvELASD's
uttcrances to specify his intentions or enun-
ciate any definite principle by which they
would be directed: nothing to indicate what
he expects to be done or what he desires to
do in the way Of tariff reform. either in
degree or in kind.
Beyond the election all is suesswork.

On the first OF January. 1862 there we're
present for duty 5272o4 officers and men, in
all OF the armies OF the Union. including
regulars and volunteers. The present num-
Der OF pensioners exceeds that total by moro

On the first OF January. 1868. there were
present for duty in all Of tho armies OF the
Union G9S,sO2 soldiers. The present number
OF pensioners exceeds that total by about
two hundred and fifty thousand.
On Jan. 1. 1864. five months after Gettys-
burg. there were at the front Gil ,25o soldiers
Tho present army of pensioners exceeds
that number by about three hundred and
forty thousand.
On Jan. 1. 1865. there were at the front in
active service 62O,924 soldiers OF the Union.
The present army Of pensioners exceeds
That number by about three hundred and
thirty thousand.

OF Five Forks and nine days before the sur

On May i. 1865. after the fighting had

This was the highest point reached during
the war. as far as Is shown by the tables

Civilization.

There are novel features Of lifc in the
present day which are well wort by of notice
il not Of praise. As an example, we may
refer to an incident which WAS reported in
the newspapers of last Sunday.
1t appears that in tho city of Haverhill,
Mass. lives man of the name of INGALLS,,
who now keeps livery stable. but was
formerly an undertaken. On Saturday
night two small collins. containing the
bodies Of two infants. were found in a hay
loft in Haverhil. Inquiry soon developed
the fact that these bodies had been daiv-
cred to INGALLS, for burial. He placed hem
in the collins and put the coflins in his eel
lar until his bill should be paid. Accord
ing to his statement the bill was not paid.
and so when he moved from the premises
about year ago. he put the collins and their
contents in the hayoft where thcy were
found. According to the despatch from
which we take these details. II period of
about three years had elapsed since the
bodies came into his hands. and the rcla-
tivcs of one of the children insist that the
bill was long since paid.
We are not concerned with the merits Of
the controversy between tho undertaken
"ii' hh'' uS w tll' ltS llltlip VI ilS
charges. What is interesting is the state
of society in which any one can be found
who thinks it right and proper and lawful
to keep the dead bodies of human beings
unburied for years as Il means OF exacting
payment for the collins in which the
corpses have been placed. We have heard
great deal about the grimness of the
Pilgrim and Puritan character. hut GER
talnly nothing moro grim or ghastly than
this proceeding can easily be recalled. even
in the early history of Plymouth or Mas
sachusctts Bay.

International Figures.

The official returns OF tho vote In num-
bcr of States have been made, and some or
them present field for curious study.
Most election figures when considered in
the solemn sobricty of arithmetic look very
different from what thcv did In the cxhila-
ration or tho depression of tho day after

first moments of the success OF their party
that they are called by an adorng people 10

find reproof and instruction In the oliclal
election figures: nor are the official returns
of this year an exception to tho rule. Let
us look nt II few of these figures. selecting.
in so far as the returns at hand permit
States OF especial interest from the number
OF their electoral votes. or their political CO.
quetry. and let us compare 1888 and 1892:

more interest in the election than the States

Instead OF the increase proportionate to
the increase Of voters there was an actual
decrease in these three States. And the
same thing occurred in other States. and
was. in fact. the remarkable thing about the
election. Whoever these abstainng voters
were. whether the majority Of them were
Republican or Democratic, it seems clear
that there was nothing in the election
figures to induce the Democracy to believe
that it is in position TO gambo. There
was big reserved vote. and who knows on
which side it will be brought out in the
next elections Obviously. the Democracy
doesn't come into power by vast and spon-
taneous popular uprising. So the best adj
