The Maine election is strong testimony
to the dullness OF the campaign; the total
vote IL reported rs 1900 below that Of
of effort on the part of either the Repub-
lieans or the Democrats. for good speakers
on both sides have discussed the issues of
the campaign for the last thirty days. II
Maine had been doubtful state, like New
York or Connecticut. or even a close state,
like New Hampshire, the full vote would
probably have been polled on Monday,
but in a sure Republican state it is very
difficult 10 get out the full vote unless the
campaign Is one of feeling and sentiment
rather than one Of intellect, education
and business
1t IS impossible for the brightest orator
10 become humorous or inpassioned on the
tariff or finance. and the discussion OF the
force bill" is not seriously attempted in
intelligent states at the North. Tariff facts
and figures. discussions of the currency
are excellent education for the people, but
they are dry husks II the mass of nom
reading or volatile voters. and for this res-
son the campaign has been exceedingly
dull East and West.
The total returns of the Vermont election
revealed a falling-ofi in the vote from that
OF 1883 and the figures for the Maine cleo
ton make the same showing. There is no
''breexe" IN the debate over the hard, dry
facts of the tariff and finance. and So, many
voters, feeling that there is TO danger Of q
party defeat. stay at home this year. The
average man will so = long way to he

The campaign in some respects re.em-
hles that Of 1886. When Martin Van
Buren, was nominated in 1895 to succeed
Andrew Jackson he was an avowed candi-
date for thu presidency. He submitted
his candidacy 20 popular judgment upon
his public career. The campaign of 1895
which followed Van Buren's nomination
never reached the supreme excitement of

CLOSE FIGURES.

Ten days ago the leading Republican
daily paper of Lewiston. Me-, published
its estimate of the election, as follows:
Now. while it is true that the Democrats Of
Maine are better organized than usual this fall
and will make extraordinary exertions to get
out their vote, the opinion of the best Informed
Maine politicians is that the Republican candi-
date for governor will go IN over his four oppo.

10000 to l., GOO plurality Is what the Republicans
usually have when the Democrats bring out their
full vote. Two and four years ago the Demo

plurality rose to ls.000.
The editor of the Maine newspaper made
an estimate OF the result that has been
closely verified by the returns.

approached his subject with great trepidation,
that he would not dare to call names, but he
thought that though man might have untold

justified in putting his party in jeopardy on ac-
count of personal pique and spite, and that such

RAILWAY NOTES,

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 16.-Attorney Gen
eral Ives has instructed the various county
treaSurers of the state to collect from the
Pullman Palace Car company penalties
and interest at the rate OF so per cent. per
annum on all unpaid personal taxes. Four
years ago the Pullman company enJoined
the treasurerS OF the various Kansas couD-
ties in which they operate from collecting
personal taxes from that company. The
United States court has decided in favor
of the counties and the Kansas statutes
authorize the so per cent. penalty which
the attorney general directs the treasurers
TO collect. This will affect sixty Kansas
counties and will amount in all to about
500 600. The Union Paciic's share of
these taxes is paid, but the company has
not been reimbursed by Pullman.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16-Chairman Walker
returned this afternoon from New York.
Speaking of the meeting of the presidents,
he said that he anticipated no trouble on
account of the attitude of Jay Could al
though it was impossible to tell what the
outcome would be. A verbal notice of
wit hdrawal from the association has no
effect, unless backed up by formal notice
by the board of directors of the road de-
string to withdraw; and even after such
notice is given, ninety days must elapse
before that road is entirely free from the
agreement. Consequently the Missouri
Pacific cannot get out OF the association
before next April, when another
meeting of the advisory board
will be held. Before that time
Chairman Walker believes that whatever
differences or misunderstanding may
now exist, will be amicably adjusted and
that the Missouri Pacific will continue to
be a member. The cases against the
Burlington, the Atchison and the South
ern Pacific were not dropped, but action
upon them was postponed until the next
meeting, to give the defendant companies
the necessary time in which to prepare
their defenses.
The western roads report decided fall
ing eff in grain shipments during the
week just ended. There is no longer a
scarcity of cars, but scarcity of bust
ness This is due partly to the decline in
market prices, but chiefly to the diversion
of traffic to southern routes. New Orleans
is the port toward which the great volume
of grain freight is now moving.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. TO- The North :
western Miller reports the official output
of flour by the Minneapolis mills for 1891
at 1875, 947 barrels, against 69SS, $50 in 1890.
Regarding the years business the Miller
saws: "Since new wheat has been avail
able the mills have run as they never did
before their work for the first four months
OF the crop year being unprecedented as to
the quantity of flour made. The output for
the calendar year. too, is ahead of any
thing ever before done. Even 1888, hereto
fore the banner year, is exceeded by over
$4,000 barrels. The large foreign demand
for -four has been special feature of the
milling business here since the advent of
the crop, and exports have been far in ex-
cess of those in the previous season"

Africans with Tails.

Various stories have been told of the
tails of the MAN Mans Of central Africa
who have also been asserted TO be canni
balls. Their tails have been described a.
smooth and as hairy, as peculiar to the
men, and as possessed by the men aud
women both. The most interesting and
circumstanSial account of this feature is
given by DIR. Hubsch OF Constantinople,
who examined a tailed negress. Her tail
was about two inches long and tcrmipst ed
I'm point. The slave dealer who swned
her said that all the Man Mans had tails,
and that they were sometimes ten inches
long. DR.. Hubsch also saw man OF the
same race who had tail an inch and a
half long, covered with a few hairs; and he
knew at Constantinople the son Of physi
clan who was born with tail an inch and
half long and one OF whose grandfathers
had a like appendage. The phenomenon,
he said, is regarded generally in the east az
a sign of great brute orce.-Populsr Sci

THE DEAD PRINCE.
operations for the Funeral of The Grand
son Of Queen Victoria.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Preparations for the
Funeral of the duke of Clarence and Avon
dale are being made at Sandringham and
Bat Windsor castle. II is believed that the
statements regarding the condition of the
queens health are greatly exaggerated.
AS has been before stated, she is greatly
affected by the death of her favorite grand
son, and her depression would naturally
tend to make her more liable to an attack
OF the prevailing epidemic of influenza,
but that she is seriously or at all unwell is
not shown by the arrangements that have
been made for her presence at the funeral
ceremonies. As has now been decided, her
majesty will remain at Osborne house
untll either Monday night or Tuesday
morning. She will then proceed on the
royal yacht to Portsmouth, from which
place ii special train will convey her to
London. She will arrive at Windsor cas-
tle early on Tuesday. The body of the
duke will be conveyed from Sandringham,
and will arrive at Windsor castle on the
same day. All the details of the funeral
have not been arranged, but it is an
bounced positively that the interment will
take place at noon on Wednesday. The
body will be placed in the crypt of st.
Georges chapel
The Body of the duke of Clarence was
removed from Sandringham to the parish
church this morning The prince and the
princess OF Wales, Prince George. Princess
Victoria, Princess Maud of Wales and
Princess Mary of Teck showed the most
intense grief. The body of the duke will
be taken to London on the Eastern rail
road. Upon their arrival in London the
remains will be taken to the station of the
Great Western railroad station: thence to
Windsor There will be a public and
semi-military procession through London
from one station to the other. The coffin
will be placed upon a gun carriage, and
the procession will be headed by the Tenth
regiment of which the duke was maj or.
The body will be received at Windsor
with military honors, and will be guarded
10 the castle by squadron of cavalry.
