THE VOTE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTORS.

Last week the constitutional form
atty of casting the vote of the coun
try by electors, took place in the va
rious States. The great majority of
the votes cast were, of course, cast for
Cleveland and Stevenson. The re-
suits are to be canvassed and declared
by Congress in joint session, February
Sth, when Grover Cleveland will be
officially declared elected President
and Adlai E. Stevenson Vice Presi-
dent of the United States for the next
four years.
Grover Cleveland will receive 277
electoral votes, Benjamin Harrison
145, land Mr.. Weaver, the Populist can
didate, %. In addition to the elector-
al votes of the States of the solid
South, Cleveland has eight of the nine
votes of California, five of the four
teen of Michigan, one each from No.
Dakota and Ohio, together with those
of Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, New
York and Wisconsin. Illinois, Ohio
and Wisconsin have always given
solid vote for the Republican candi-
dates. Indiana voted for the Demo-
cratic candidates in 1876 and 1884.
President Harrison's 145 votes are
made up of one from California, which
cast five of it's six votes for Hancock
in 1880, but has been Republican in
every other election since 1864, Ii

IN THE DOUBTFUL STATES.

News from the Western States, in
which Senatorial elections are pend
ing, is to-day more favorable to the
Republicans. There is prospect of a
compromise between the rival houses
of the Kansas Legislature. Some Of
| the Populist members are getting
anxious about their pay, which they
cannot get until the complications are
disposed of. Congressman Harris has,
it is said, given notice that he intends
to leave the Populist party and return
to the democracy. This detection in
Dictates that the work of disintegra
ton of the new party has commenced.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, has
taken command of the Republicans in
the Legislature of that State. He is
any other time Of his re- election, and
he says that it will be long time be-
fore the democrats have a Senator
from Wyoming.
In Montana the deadlock continues
and the Republicans are encouraged.
Mr.. Dawson, the democratic mem
Der Of the Legislature who is very ill,
will be taken to the Hot Springs. This
situation renders it absolutely neces-
sary for the democrats to secure two
Populist votes to win, and Of that
there is no present prospect. -,
The volative nature of Western poll
tics was illustrated in the lower house
Of the Colorado Legislature yesterday,
when the Republican majority became
a minority by the boiling of a member
who thought he had not been award
ed patronage enough. 1t is now said
that the present organization will be
overturned, and that Populist or
Fusionist will be elected Speaker. The
boiling Republican is said to know his
value, and is insisting on high bids.
The Nebraska Legislature took a
vote for Senator to-day at noon. This
vote was merely formality. Neither
the Republicans nor Democrats have
held caucuses.
In North Dakota the re- election of
Senator Casey, Republican, to-day Or
to night, is predicted.
The democrats are still without the
assurance of a majority in the Senate
after March 4.-MdiI and Express.

Revolution Affecting Readers
Throughout the World.

a subject which has received
much discussion il all parts Of the
country during the past month has
been the possibility Of the Cosu.o.
poJj5a,a& succeeding in its new move
Of selling the magazine, unchanged
in size and even bettered in quality
at the price of u! cents, instead of
rs cents, as formerly. The August
Cosmopo2itan, for instance, was
illustrated by long list of famous
artists, including Roohcgrosse, Ham
ilton Gibson, Guillonnet, Kemble-
schwabe, sounier, Goodhue,
Meaulle, Alice Barber Stephens, and
the late Wilson de Mcza. The pub
fishers in part explain how it is
possible to keep up a pace Of this
kind by their announcement that the
Christmas edition will exceed 2O0,-
600 copies, and that, in consequence
of these large editions, they are
obliged to raise the advertising rates
from $500 to $500 per page-850
per page more than has ever been
charged by any Of the leading maya
zines in this county. This move of
the Cosmopolitan would look as If
the American people had been quick
to appreciate the effort to furnish
them magazine Of the highest
class, at a price so unusual and so
small as to be almost nominal.

The Outlook.

The Outlook
We note in this connection rather
extraordinary statement of facts off
cially reported to us from Washing
ton respecting appropriations for In
dian schools. We can best give these
facts by quoting from the official
information received;
"You made inquiry as to whether
contracts had been made with differ.
ent religious bodies. In reply l
would say that for the year 1898 the
Roman Catholics received s375, 845 J;
for the current year they receive
S3G5,835. The Presbyterians for
last year, $4,000; this year the
same. The Congregational Church,
$25,736; this year, $1,000. The
Episcopal Church last year, 81, $50
this year, 5000. The Friends last
year, $1,000; this year the same.
The Memories last year. $3.50 !;
this year the same, The Unitarians
last year, $1,000; this the same.
The Lutherans, $500; this year
the same. Miss Howard last year,
$500; this year, $4,000. The ap-
preparations for Lincoln and Hamp-
ton, OF course, being made by Con
gress, are the same. The total OF
contracts for last year was $533, 24l;
for this year, $S02,635. | take 1t
that these contracts have been made
with the superintendents of the va
rious schools, and not directly with
the religious societies"
We hope that this does not indi-
cate that while the ecclesiastical bod
les officially have refused to receive
aid from the Government for Indian
schools, they are uncfioially contin-
uing to receive that aid through
subordinates. We believe that the
Roman Catholic Church is the only
one which has not officially disa-
vowed the connection between
Church and State involved in the
maintenance OF What apa known as
contract schools. On this subject
we are permitted to publish the fol
lowing letter from Cardinal Gibbons
to MIR. Herbert Welsh. We DO not
believe that the unprejudicod reader
will think that Cardinal Gibbons sue
ceeds in racon@ling tn acceptance
Of public money foI Catholic schools

ton against the granting Of Govern
ment subsidies to churches:

Mr.. HcrJert WcJSh:
Dear Sir-Your esteemed fayors
of Nobembor : and | are received
and your inquiry noted. In reply /
would beg to say that the point in
question constitutes a particular case,
aud while the words of mme to
which YOU refer still hold, the Indian
education under the contract system
consider also still necessary. As
you say, Ill was in its day . necessity

not think the day is yet spent. It
does not indicate q permanent state
or condition; it VIII not survive the
settlement of the Indian question.
Hence the good which it has accom-
plished it can still accomplish. And

tinue the contracts which the Gov
ernment enters into with the religious
bodies for the education OF Indian

Proctor, OF Vermont, veneering, how
over, heaps Of quiet fun and a seven

squib will seem natural enough :;
Presiding at a banquet, he called on
Senator William L. Chandler for a
few remarks, who at once prefaced
them by his surprise that Senator
Proctor should have so kindly noticed
him, for, said he, "a few days ago |
overheard a gentleman ask him if he
liked Chandler, to which he very
carefully answered, Yes, I like
Chandler, but it's an acquired taste. ,"

Mr.. Reed, once addressing vast

The Cobra.

1t is a remarkable peculiarity of
most poisonous reptiles that they
seem to have a great reluctance of
putting their deadly powers into
operation. Before inficting the ia
tai bite the rattlesnake always gives
his note of warning, and the same
may be said of the cobra di capello,
the most deadly of the many poison
GUS reptiles of India. The cobra
warning is unmistakable-he dilates
the crest upon his neck and gives a
hiss loud enough to be heard dis
tinctly 80 feet away. The cobra's
crest is a flexible membrane or hood
with two black circulars Joined to-
gether SO as to form a very good
representation of a pair of spectacles.
When the hood or crest is in posi-
ton, its eyes seem to blaze with a
devilish lustre and the continued
kissing gives the very air noisome
smell.
According to the best authorities
the cobra never bites while the hood
is closed, and SO long as that partic
ular membrane is not erected the
creature may be approached and
handled with impunity. Ever
though the crest be spread, if the
creature continues in silence, there
is no danger. One hiss, however
is a sure sign that the reptile il
angry and searching for a victim.
