That the party got licked;

Are we mugwumpS?
Don't we know the cuckoo cry?
When we want tariff reform don't we want

We may be willing to ride jackasses,
But when jackasses try to ride us, we

great falling off in both freight and
passenger traffic, with a correspond

manded and justified as matter of
business necessity, limited curtall-
ment of expenses. which the general
public has appeared to understand
and recognize by a patient submis-

enforcement of better station tacili-

HARPER'S MAGAZINE
IN 1895.

The Simpletons, new novel by Thomas
Hardy, will be begun in December numb Der,
1894, and continued to November, 1895.
Whoever may be ones favorite among Eng
1ish novelists, it will be conceded by all crit
les that Thomas Hardy stands foremost as a
1naste rartist in fiction, and The Simpletons
may be expected to arouse enthusiasm not
inferior in degree to that which has marked
Tri1by-the most successful story of the year.
Another leading feature will be the Personal
Recollections OF Joan OF Arc, by, the Sieur
Louis de Conte, Her Page and Secretary, under
which guise the most popular of living Amer
lean magazine writers will present the story
of the Maid of Orleans. In the January num-
Der will appear profusely illustrated paper
on Charleston and the Carolinas, the first OF
a series of Southern Papers.
Northern Africa is attracting more atten-
ton than al any other time since it was the
seat of EN- pires. The next volume of HAIR
PER'S MAGAZINE will contain four illustra-
ted articles on this region, and three of them
will depict the present life there. Julian
Ralph will prepare for the MAGAZINE Sc
res of eight stories. depicting typical phases
of Chinese Life and Manners. Besides the
long stories, there will begin in the January
number the first chapters of A Three Part
Novelette,, by Richard Harding Davis-.the
longest work yet attempted by this writer.
Complete short stories by popular writers
will continue to be a feature of the MAGA-

ELECTION ECHOE.
Latin IN Politics.
-lNew York Sun.


Acknowledgement Knowlton's bene
diction at the meeting of a repub-
lican club was a parody on "A Jingle
of Latin" II think, SAID, said he,
sit is one of the odes Of Horace. At
any rate, it is very Horatian in
sentiment, and is very true to
nature. 1t is something like this:
"'Boyabus kissibus sweet girlorum.
Girlibus lipibus wanteesumm orum.'"
Laughter.
THE reason / think of that is that
with slight adaptation and alter
alton it sums up the present political
situation to a dot. AS we think
how triumphantly the people were
deluded into voting for the nominee
of the democratic party and where
the people fnd themselves today, 1
am inclined to paraphrase that little
doggerel into something like this;
Democracy foolibus dear popu1orum.
People catch-on-ibus, don't want anymo-
rum.''
Great applause.
i Boston Advertiser.
This is the most sweeping revolu
ton which has ever taken place in
the politics and membership of the
national house. The dem Ocrats lose
a total of no less than ] 81 members.
The dem ocratic tidal wave of 1890
was counted phenomenon, stand
ing almost alone in political history;
but in that case the republican
strength fell only from 166 to SS
votes-a loss of 70 mem bers. The
nearest approach to the present
overturn in its extent was seen in
1874, when the house fell into the
hands of the democrats. In the 43d
congress, elected in 1872, the repub-
licans had 1914 members out of a
total Of 293. Two years later the
republicans went to the country in a
year OF great business depression
following the panic of 1878, and
won only 1O7 members-a loss of
81. They had in the house Of the
43d congress about 81 per cent of
the total number; in the 44th con-
gress they had but about 81 per
cent. The democrats have 81 per
cent of the membership in the present
house; in the next body they have
only 23.S per cent. Their rela
loss is therefore larger even than the
republican loss in 1S74.-[Spring-
