A False Prophet.

The election was held, and the result
in that State showed that the Hon.
Thomas Macdonald Patterson's predic-
ton department was very much out Of
order. and would entitle him to be placed
in the class Of false political prophets.

Jones now stands at the head Had Col
orado cast her three votes for Tilden.
he would. of course, been elected. even
with the votes Of Florida and the
ones in Oregon. South Carolina and Lou
isiana thrown out by the electoral com
mission. Even had Colorado been left
out of consideration altogether, Tuden
would have been President, as her three
votes, which went to Hayes after The
commission had reached it's decision,
gave Hayes the required 1S5 to 184 for
Tilden, and enabled the former to be-
come President after a long and bitter
struggle which narrowly bordered .on
political revolution The example Of
Colorado might well serve as warning
TO the Democrats who are now urging
the admission Of Arizona and New Mex
leo, especially as they figure on elect
ing a President next year by a narrow
margin Of electoral votes.

Appointments Which Mean Business.


Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Bedford,
who until a few months ago was in
command of the British naval forces in
North American and West Indian waters.
has just been appointed governor of the
state or colony of West Australia. Vice
Admiral Sir Harry Rawson being al
ready governor OF New South Wales.
This nomination OF two of the most bril-
liant and capable vice admiraIs still in
active service, to Australian governor
ships, may be interpreted as meaning
that the British government has at heart
its scheme of imperial defense, a view
which is confirmed by the fact that TWO
other Australian EcyeTuOrships. namely
those of Victoria and KiuEsIand. are
held by two generals. namely. Sir Her
bert CheTmside and Sir George Clarke,
both engineer officers who are past mas
ters in the science Of forJifCariOns. Sir
arthur HavelOck, governor Of Tasma
MIA. Is a retired infantry officer, and only
the governor general, Lord Tcnnyson,
IS q civilian.

History Repeats Itself.

The efforts Of Senator Quay and, his
associate obstruetionists to pass the
"oninous' Statehood bill and admit to
the sisterhood Of States a couple of ad-

mission OF Nevada and Colorado. The

amendments and afford the necessary

A Democratic Blunder.

For the admission Of Colorado and the
consequent defeat of TiIden the Demo-
cratic party. which is now 50 strenuous
" seeking the admission of New Mexi-
co and Arizona, was in a large part re-
sDonsible. The Democrats were in a
majority in the House Of Representative
and the Hon Thomas Macdonald Pat
terson. now United States Senator from
Colorado. then a Delegate in Congress
from the Territory. assured his party
leaders that Colorado if admitted would
certainly cast her three electoral votes
for the Demo cTatiC candidates PatteT-
son had himself been chosen Delegate
as Democrat by a comfortable major

statement Colorado was admitted and
the TiIden managers confidently count
ed upon her three votes to aid them in
elccting their candidate.
