ECHOES OF REPEAL.


A Senator prominent in getting up
the compromise measure in lieu of the
voorhees, bill has written out true
statement of the manner the compro-
mise was arranged, of the conference
with secretary Carlisle, what he said as
for himself, and what was bis state
ment as to the President, and what the
latter would do if the bin, amended as
1t was proposed, went through. This
statement is to be made public only
when in the judgement of the Senator
who signs it, with the concurrence of
certain other Senators who acted with
him, are convinced the time has come
to make knownthe truth of the history
with reference To the passage in the
re- cal contest to which it relates.
We should think the above state
ment referred to. would unfold some
very interesting history. Perhaps
Senator Gray will agree with us in say
ing, by all means let it be published.

TrrEsDAy,s LANDSLIDE.

The elections held on Tuesday re-
suited in clean sweep for the Repub-
lican ticket, by Overwhelming major-
tiles. The result has no other signif-
cance than that Cleveland was elected
last fall under false pretenses. which
ailured tie people into what they now
know to have been great mistake, and
they have taken the first opportunity
TO say 50 at the polls. and at the same
time to serve notice:on the Administra-
tion that if it interferes with the pres
ent tariff schedules it does SO at the
peril of the Democrat party. The result
in New York is a mighty blow by the
people to Tammany Hall and the cor
rupt methods Of Hill and Croker; and
the dreadful slashing which Maynard
received, is notice that the people not
only regard him as q political felon,
but that they also believe that both
Hill and Murphy are to-day in the U.
s. Senate as result of that felony.
Good men of all political parties can
but rejoice over the cleaning out of the
gang in Brooklyn and the defeat of the
gamblers in New Jersey, as well as the
verdict Of the people of Cook County,
Ill, upon the act of Governor Altgelt
in his attack on Judge Gary, and the
vindication OF the Judge in bis conduct
cf the anarchist's q trial by his election
10 another term.
It is plain everywhere that the people
are not satisfied with the eight months
trial which we have had at the hands
of the Democracy. After a lapse Of.
thirty years that party has come into
full power, only to prove conclusiyely
It's utter inability to set its face to-
wards the accomplishment Of legisla-
tion pertaining to the live issues Of the !
present time, and was carried back by
the members Of the Senate from the
south to reflections upon the dead and
buried issues of anti.bellun days. |
The special session of Congress has
been held and the work for which the
session was called has been done, and |
Congress has adjourned, and as re-
suit Of that session, John Sherman is
a bigger man before the people Of this
country to-day than ever Before, and |
without him at the head Of the Repub-
lican members Of the Senate, the extra
session would have been sorry failure
and a defeat Of The President s purpose.
On the other band it can not be said
that single member of the Democratic
side Of the Senate did any thing to
put himself or his party more strongly
before the country to-day.

THE cHRYsANTHEMuM.
EBEr e. anxroRD.

In the first cold night of autumn
The dahlia's pride was lost;
The hollyhock's splendor vanished
At the coming OF the trost.
Even the brave little pansy
Hides under the leaves that fall
And not one flower of the summer
Answers the robins call.
But 10! in the corner yonder
Theresa CLEAN OF white and god
The gold or summer sunshine,
The white of winters cold,
And laden with spicy odors
The autumn breezes come
From the nooks and corners frightened
By the brave chrysanthemum
Hail to youl beautiful flower,
With royal and dauntless mein
Facing the frosts OF winter
1crown you autumn's queen,
With your CLEAN of late sweet sunshine
You brighten the closing year
And keep us thinking of summer
Tillthe winter we dread is here.

HON. ANTHONY HIGGINS.

HUM AAAdON1
Mr.. Higgins is rapidly approaching
that place in the United States Senate
that his friends always felt sure he
would take; and it is source of satis-
faction to all the people Of Delaware,
Of whatever political creed, to know
that our state is so ably represented
in the Senate at a time when superior
ability and craftsmanship is Of the ut
most Importance. That Mr.. Higgins
has these qualifications is eyinced by
his record as well as the fact that he
has the attention of the leading jour.
nalists of the country, who are expect
ing him to take no small part in the
solution of the great problems yet to
come before the Senate.
The Philadelphia Press in its issue Of
Monday last, makes most compli-
mentary comment upon his speech for
repeal In the late special session Of.
Congress. We have given various
extracts from this speech in former
issues Of the TRANSCRIPT, and would
that we had space to give it entire.
The following is another clipping from
it:
ssMr. Balfour, the leader of the Con;
servatiye opposition in the British
y
House Of Commons, said that while it
was orthodoxy In Great Britian to have
single gold standard, yet when the
United States and other Governments
threatened to adopt it tremor seized
every one of the commercial magnates
in Great Britain; they looked forward
to catastrophe, knowing that the
ultimate result might be slow appre-
citation of the standard of value, which
is probably the most deadening and
benumbing influence which can touch
the springs Of enterprise in nation,
Then Mr.. Alfred de Rothschild, the
head Of the greatest banking house Of
England and the world, declared at the
Brussels conference that if that con-
ference were to break up without ar
irving at any definite result there would
be depreciation In the value of silver
which it would be frightful to contem-
plate and out of which monetary
panic would ensne, the far-spreading
effects Of which it would be impossible
to foretell. :
ssThose are the words Of leading
British statesmen. / do not think that
we are less able than England to get
and keep our share of the gold, and !
believe that that is the only way that
we win solve this question. With no
public debt left to speak of. what have
we TO fear2 If by this experiment it
should turn out that there is not gold

nIr. LOWcll'S Question.

A few years before the death Of James
Russell Lowell he wrote q poem which
he was to read upon certain public &C.
casion Naturally the newspapers de-
sired to secure the copy. Mr.. H., who
was then and is Yet engaged upon q Bos-
ton daily newspaper, was detailed by his
managing editor to call upon Mr.. Low
ell and secure, if possible, the much de-
sired poem. After Il great deal of I'M
portunity from the newspaper man Mr..
Lowell said:
LET ne ask you question frankly,
man to man, and if then you decide that
| ought to give you the poem l promise
you will. It you knew needed 5000,
you would not ask me to give it to you
I know that perfectly well. But that is
just what you are asking me. l have a
market for my poem in The Atlantic
Monthly provided they have the oppor-
tunity of first publishing it. If it is first
printed in the daily newspapers of this
country, of course it is no use for a mag
azine. Now. then. / tell you frankly,
| do need the $500, and ask you the
question, Shall give you the poem on
your request. or shall | keep it for the
magazine?"
The newspaper man decided promptly,
and the poet was not deprived of his
$780, Boston Herald.

a Story About q Story,

Mrs. E. P Terhune (Marion Harland)
tells a curious bit of fact in connection
with one of her earlier novels, "Ruby's
Husband" The novelist was living in
Newark at the time Of it's writing. and
on her frequent trips over the Jersey
flats to New York her attention was Of
ten centered upon a long, low rooted
white house visible in the far distance
from the cars. She knew no5Eing Of it
nor Of its inmates but it's isolation, and
on late winter afternoons it's single eve
Of light streaming eerily across the
stretch Of 1narshland attracted her story
telling instinct, and she wove the tale
about it.
Long afterward she found that it was
occupied by sporting character very
similar to the horsy Nick Sloane and
actually having his initials, and he had,
too, a young daughter, whose beauty
was as remarkable for her environment
as was that OF the brilliant and unscru-
pulous Ruby. In the story Nick Sloane
is killed i'll a runaway accident. and out
of it the tenant Of the meadow house
came to o violent death by the cars, sew,
eral years after "Ruby's Husband" be-
came popular.

Where tho Telegraph Is Least Used.

The four countries in the world which
possess the smallest telegraph facilities
are Peru, Paraguay. Uruguay and Per-
STA. In the first named there are only SO
telegraph Offices in the whole country
and but l,G00 miles Of wire. In the ter
ritory Of Paraguay there are only $40
miles of wire in operation. and the entire
telegraphic service of that country re-
quires the services of but % persons.
One line Of 800 miles. owned and oper-
ated by the government, runs from AS
uncion to Paso de Patria. the limit of
Paraguayan territory, and the other $50
miles by the railroad from Asuncion to
Pirapo
Owing to high water and forest fires
in that country the line is often inter
rupted for a days at a time. At Paso de
Patria the line breaks. there being no
cable over the Alto Parana river, which
is three miles wide Communication is
therefore by canoe, which takes mes
sages over in the morning to the A1gen-
tine side and returns to the Paraguayan
side at night. An important telegram is
often delayed 10 or Is hours. Hartford

The GiGslinS Habit.

A serious aspect Of the giggling habit
is that it is SO nearly incorrigible. M;l;l-
nerisms OF all kinds strike their roots
deeply, but The! he!" and 'ha! har' be-
come part and parcel Of the offenders
against reason and taste. That which
makes the listener nervous to irritable
ity, fretting the a!niable into desire to
smother the meaningless caclzle in the
throat that gives it birth if lie cannot es-
cape beyond hearing Of it. is practiced
involuntarily by the habitual laughter.
Like the famous button on the learned
advocates coat with which he fumblod
necessarily while pleading, the giggle
would, if suddenly taken away, deprive
it's slave Of the power Of speech. To
command gravcly temperate articula-
ton would be to strike dumb.
The origin of the obnoxious trick is OF
course in youth and inexperience, and
almost always in native sdifidence or
temporary embarrassment. When the
girl has no fitting words at call, she gig
giles. When the lad is oppressed by
weight Of bashfulness and would swag-
ger it off. he outlaws. In the tyros
opinion Il laugh outdoes charity as a
cloak for every defect and extricates
him from the most trying position. AT
fectation is an active ally in the evil
work, and the ambition to be agreeable
brings up the rear guard.-Marion Har-
land in Harper's Bazar.

1'ltex Yurc,cl the Vampire.

Tc zaost people the word vampire"
only brings up visions of noxious SoUt:

with veno1nons creatures, legless a1u|
otherwise, nightly visited by n1yriads Of
large, leathery winged bats, which are
repute'l to have an Unsuitable taste for
human blood. To the ancients it meant
something far different There was
time when all Europe believed the YAM
pire to be a blood sucking ghost of q de-
funct human being. The most celebrat-
ed of these blood chilling vampire stories
is that of Arnold Paul. During life he
had resided near Madnerga. Hungary.
Within 30 days after his burial four per-
sons near the place of interment had
died, each with the marks of vampire

Another person had been awakened in
the night and recognizing Pauls ghost
in the room cried. "Avaunt, vampire!
in Jesus name" whereupon the appari-
ton instantly vanished.
When this story was told, the town
projects held meeting and determined
to open Paul's grave This was accord
ingly done. There was blood on the lips
of the corpse. also upon his hands. The
ambassador of Louis XIV, who was pres
ent at the disinterment, declared the
proof positive, and Arnold Paul's re-
mains We're hoisted to the surface, burned

All! She did depart!
Soon after she was gone from me.

Silently, invisibly;
He took her with a sigh.
