A RrpInLICAN VICTORY.

New YORK, Jan. 3o.-Were a
demonstration needed that a politi-
cal reaction is on in earnest, and
that voters will severely punish the
party that is responsible for the
Wilson bill, that demonstration was
furnished to-day in this city at the
special election held i'll the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Congressional
districts. The Republicans ste
Ceeded in electing one man, and in
the other district accomplished a
wonderful cut in the old-time Demo
cratic majority.
In the Fourteenth District, in
1892, Colonel John r. Fellows was
elected by SS25 votes. In that
district to-day Lemuel +. Quigg, a
staunch Republican, was elected
by oS4 votes. Colonel Fellows re-
signed to accept the District At
torneyship. In the Fifteenth
District, in 1892, Ashbel B. Fitch,
since made Controller, was elected
by 1860 votes. To-day Frederick
Sigrist, running against Isador
Straus, one of the most popular
Democrats i'll the city, succeeded i'll
cutting the previous majority to
1867.
Tonight the Republicans are
jubilant, and are promising to ad-
minister another defeat to the
Democrats in this city and State at
the first opportunity. Mr.. Quigg
is only 81 years of age, but he has
already made a reputation as a
writer on economic subjects. In
defense of the tariff for protection
to American industries he has adj
vanced more arguments than his
political opponents will be able to
answer i'll ten years. For ten years
he has been an editorial writer on
the New York ZribNRe.

Mass Bob; ives got anuder cabbage,

Then, Ephraim, said the Cen
eral, save the piece of bacon TO
cook with that cabbage
The prompt and decisive reply
was, mo, sab, Mass Bob; l cant
do dat! l jis borrow dat piece oh
bacon for seasonin' from a friend
ober dar in Richmon', and l done
glib up my parole Oh honah dat I'll

The General, who could not be
a party to any mans violation OF
his parole of honot, consented at
once to the return of the bacon that
had so successfully run the gauntlet
of six hungry diners. He must
have reflected, too, on the eX
tremity of his fortunes that led to
lhe borrowing of a part of his
Christmas dinner, on the hard con-
dition that it should be returned
untouched. His New Years dinner
was still more meagre, ! judge,
from what he indicated to General
Grant next day.
a flag of truce had been sent
into the Confederate lines with an
inquiry regarding Union officer
who had been wounded and taken

pliments, and to say that he is
thoroughly informed as to all your
movements, and even knows what
you had for dinner yesterday"
General Lee took the pleasantly
in good part, and answered
please, Captain, present my com.
pliments to General Grant, and say
that l must doubt the correctness

SOME OF THE RUDIMENTs.

The need of missionary work
the semi-political groups
which our morning contemporary
stands for is Of a kind which ought
70 enlist the serious labors of Mr..
William Nevins Armstrong. That
astute and experienced publicist
has become, by process of years, a
political philosopher fit to exercise
the functions Of sage; and as he
has the confidence of the Ad0eyhScy
and its friends we rely upon him to
teach them some of the documentary
principles Of sound politics.
One Of these principles is that
wherever there is a lactional di-
vision OF given party compromise
between them is always surer than
competition in the production OF
wise and safe results.
Another is that compromises tc
be successful must be fair; double
sided and not one sided.
Another is that a privileged
class in democratic politics, evet
if in a majority at the beginning
is certain. if il aSpires TO autOcrati,
control to eventually become
minority and to forever-as
privileged class - lose its gri,
upon affairs.
Another is that there is no roor
in good politics for excitable me-
who threaten to take issue wit
any reasonable demand OH the par
Of any considerable section of tn
common party for representation i
its governing bodies
There are other principles of Xix
character which Mr. Armstron
would do well to spread among til
present advocates of the policy c
ostracism and contempt toward
the men who are now urging the
representative rights upon the pee
pie whom they were instruments

THE praises of the machine were
sung to stirring music a few weeks
ago by our Merchant-street neigh
bor-that is, of a machine RUN by
good men" OF course good men
mean our men in the parlance of
politics! Our men could be
trusted with that dangerous instru-
ment, but in the hands of the other
fellows, heaven only knows what
might happen to the grist of virtue.

GENERAL LEES CHRISTMAS FARE.


There was Cabbage and Bacon, but the
Bacon was Only Borrowed.
AS the fortune of war had favored
his larder, through some skilful
foragiug Of Ephraim, a negro, who
was his faithful cook, body servant
and waiter-three gentlemen in
one-General Lee invited several
officers to dine with him on Christ
mas Day, 1904 The lucky recipi-
ents of the timely invitation were
five in number, all officers of dis
tinction, among them Generals
Longstreet, Gordon and Kershaw.
They were all on time when the
dinner was called. 1t was served
on a rough pine table, without a
cover, in General Lees weather
beaten tent. 1t consisted of boiled
cabbage and eight or ten boiled
sweet potatoes and a dish of rice
cooked dry. The piece de resist
ance, which indeed the knightly
guests found it hard to resist, was
small bit of fat bacon, about three
inches square, that lay on top of
the large cabbage. Now, bacon
was as rare in the Confederate camp
at that time as are roses on the
Northern hilltops in December.
Even Ignatius Donnelly, with all
his genius for unfolding the hidden,
could not have discovered trace
of it in the mess stores of that army.
You can imagine, therefore, the
self-restraint exercised by each
guest as they declined in turn a
slice of the delectable meat proffered
by their host, who held the carving
knife and fork ready to cut and
help.
1t was observed that when the
General, after helping to the cab
bage, said to the guest whose plate
Ephraim held out, ALLOW me to
help you to a slice of the bacon?"
the devoted old servants hand
trembled greatly. In fact, he
seemed to be in a state of decided
fright. The high military rank of
the guests would not account for
his trepidation, for he daily served
near a master who outranked them
all. There was no splendor left in
the tracery OF faded gold lace on
their battle-stained uniforms to
dazzle his eyes and cause them to
roll about and glance from bacon
to guest, and from guest to bacon,
as each answered the half question
with the words; mo, thank you,
General. The discomposure of
the serving man was all the more
striking from its contrast with the
serene, self-poised dignity of his
benign master.
Dinner over, the General and his
guests retired from the tent, but as
they passed out General Lee turned
I'd said in low tone, "Ephraim,
we have another cabbage, have we
not?"
The answer was, eyes, sab,
