THE CABINET AND THE ELEC-
TIONS

A dispatch from Washington says ::
President Cleveland issued strict orders
to his Cabinet yesterday that they must
not talk on the result of the elections.
Hence beyond the passing remark that
"Mr. Cleveland was tickled to death at
Germans defeat none of the members
of the Cabinet said word. But Secre-
tary Morton has now passed three
whole days without appearing in pub
lie interview, and the silence has be-
come intolerable. So he unbosomed
himself yesterday. He discussed the
defs ats of Senators Hill, German, Brice
and Smith. After congratulating him
self as Secretary of Agriculture, that he
has just published an ante-election
treatise on the crow which be thinks
twill be perused with infinite relish by
those who have that juicy bird gra-
tuitously and generously thrust into
their diet as temporary turkey the
democratic Secretary of Agriculture
takes up the senators seristim.
"What do you think of New York ?"
with melancholy eyes 1 tearfnlly
peruse the statements of some partisan
newspapers and certain politicians that
the election in New York is an accentu-
ated, loud voiced rebuke of the admin.
istration. And as the two senators of
that State are known all over the union
as the fervid, sincere and espe cial advo-
Gates during the last Congress of all the
financial and economic legislation which
President Cleveland recommended. it
seems cruelty and excruciatipg vindic-
tive and malicious on the part of our
political opponents that they should
point to the defeat of the distinguished
Senators Hill and Murphy in New
York as refined and condensed con-
demnation of the President and all his
advisers"
"What OF New jersey ?"
"Of course, in New Jersey things are
not particularly encouraging to local
democratic leaders. But when one re-
members with what zeal and ard0r the
genial and attractive Senator Smith of
that commonwealth espoused the Will
sou bill and eloquently advocated It's
passage, profoundly realize that our
Jersey friends and adherents have also
suffered and sorrowed."
"And Ohio9"
Turning to Ohio, a person from my
standpoint of view must plainly see
that another friend of the Wilson style
of tariff legislation, in the person OF the
able and accomplished Senator Calvin
s. Brice, has been maliciously smitteD
because of his adherence to the revenue
economics advocated by this admins
tration."
"But what do you think of Mary
land?"
1.-THE warm vigor and elcquence
with which Senator Arthur Pue Cor
man always defended the tariff reform
policy to which the democratic party
was pledged by the Chicago platform
/ renders the Maryland election more
directly and intensely rebuke to the
advocates of tariff reform and CONNER
cial freedom than do the results in any
| of the States before mentioned"

AThirteep Days, slumber.

MONTREAL, Nov. ga remarkable
case at the Notre Dame Hospital is that
of Mrs. G. Drolet, who went to sleep
hirieen days ago. During the interval
she remained perfectly oblivious of all
transporting around her, partaking of no
nourishment whatever. Pins and need
leg were thrust into her body without
producing the slightest effect. The
action of the heart and pulse was
scarcely perceptible, while her body
assumed death-like color. Thursday
night Mrs. Drolet suddenly arose from
her bed and asked where she was. She
seemed quite surprised when acquaint-
ed with the details of her long slumber.

THE RESULT of the recent elections
having assured the republicans of an
early control of ell the branches of the
government, they already proclaim that
the necessary revenue must De raised
by tariff, and that there can be no furth-
er liberation of the internal revenue
system. In other " ords, that the price
of the necessaries of life must be raised,
but that beer, whiskey and tobacco,
which are not necessaries, shall be free.
And yet the republicans of the State of
New York, last Tuesday, gave hundred
thousand majority in favor of law pro-
hibiting man from taking drink OF
liquor or buying cigar on Sunday. As
the republicans will also enlarge the
pension list and increase the amount of
the pensions, the cost of living in this
country is not likely to be reduced in
the near future. But as the people, By
their votes, evince their desire that it
should be so, so it must be, at least for
the present.

Poison in Pressed Chicken.

board of health has endorsed the re-
port relative to the poisoning of 100
persons at wedding supper at Sabula,
Ia, and which resulted in the death of
seven. It has been determined that
the deaths and sickness were caused by
eating poisoned food, the poison being
contained in pressed chicken.

persons were poisoned ut wedding in

the prompt action of the physicians
saved from death those seriously af-

BULL RUN AND APPoMATToX


The public sale of the Mclean estate,
advertised for December 2, by Messrs
Thornton and Round, brings to our
mind the most singular coincidence we
recall in our reading of history. The
first meeting of the Army of the Poto-
mac and the Army of Northern Vir-
GINA took place at Black Ford,
July Is, 1861, and brought on the first
pitched battle of the war. At 10 q. m.
of that day Besuregard took up his
headquarters at the Mclean house and
there Mcdowell attacked him with q
heavy force of Infantry and artillery.
On the 9th of April, 1865, after l 1861
days of almost constant fighting, the
commanders of these two armies, Grant
and Lee, met at the Mclean house at
Appomattox and drew up the terms of
surrender. When Beauregard evacu-
ated Manassas, Major Mclean removed
his family to Fauquier. AS the tide of
the war rolled again around them they
removed the second time to Lunen-
burg, and there in 1868 the Major re-
turned one day and told them he would
move them this time where the sound
of battle "would never reach them
more" They rented the brick house
at Appomattox, which has become bis.
toric and toward which all the strategy
of the war converged, and around
which it so suddenly eliminated. And
SO it happened, as Major Mclean fire.
quently said, that the war began on
him and ended on him. Another point
is worthy of mention in this connection.
The Mclean estate embraced in 1851
over 400 acres, including some of the
best land OF the county. Over one-half
of this has been sold out to eight differ
emit persons, at from six to fifteen dol
lars per acre. The largest part is now
embraced in the magnificent farm of
Robert Portner. The remainder of the
tract is now subdivided and will be sold
at December Court. The change from
large plantations to small farms is thus
illustrated, showing an inevitable tend.

SATURDAY EVENING, nov. 9, 1895.
THoUeH some Virginia democratic

THOUGH some Virginia democratic
newspapers say the recent defeat OF
Safe Senator Walton was due to the
fact that the present election law bears
his name, the patural inference from
the vote cast is that the democrats Of
his district, like those of the Others
throughout the State, approve and en-
dorse that law. and are opposed to its
repeal. The democrats of his county,
Shenandoah, nominated him, and those
OF Frederick, the other county of the
district, nominated Mr.. Purcell. He
received 1900 votes, while Mr.. Purcell
received only 1900, Eve hundred less.
The two together received 800. but
McCuue, the one republican candidate,
received 1854, which elected him;
though the democrats in the district
had majority of $50. The Walton
law is the best election law that the
legislature of Virginia, under existing
circumstances, could have enacted, as
every disiuterested man who has voted
under it must acknowledge, and the
democratic member of the legislature
who may vote for its repeal will do
himself 10 good, but much harm. The
proposition to amend it by providing
for a republican, as we'll as demo
cratic constable, at each polling pre-
cinct, would utterly destroy the secrecy
of the ballot of the illiterate voter. as
the political complexion of his ballot
could be readily determined by that OF
the constable whose aid he might seek
10 its preparation. The law is IS near
perfect as it can be; but if it must be
amended, let it be by striking
out the whole constable clause and pro.
viding for the payment of q poll tax as
prerequisite to voting.
