You have si lenced the slanderous tongues .which accused you of self-seeking at the sacri lice of the grand principles of national Democracy.

It is a revenge gloriously worthy of the greatest of all political organizations. The country, redeemed from the rule of greedy monopoly, salutes and thanks you. __ ' ilil F.KIT HAURISOX. Mr. Habuisos will retire from the presidency on the 4th clay of next Marcli. regretted only by a few place holders, lit' is not a popular man, nor lias he proved to by a safe man to whom to entrust great responsibilities. Ho lias used the federal patronage to lurther the ends of his personal am bition. He has done this to a greater extent than any previous president, and his unscrupulousness in this regard lias had the effect of undoing much of the grand work of Gbover Cleveland in behalf of civil sei vice reform. Aside from this abuse of the appointing power Mr. Haurisos lias made a fairly honest president. He has acted up to liis lights, but his lights are dim. He is a man of mediocre ability, and this mediocrity has been disastrous to the country. It prevented Mr. H.yk- IUBOS from realizing that the country was already suffering from too much tariff taxation in behalf of a few fa vored interests, and so the infamous MrKiM.KY bill was sponsored by his administration. He was, moreover, un able to realize that the country is not (and, praise God! never will be) in a temper to tolerate federal bayonets at Us voting booths; and in his foreign policy also Mr. Haiikisox exhibited in capability, which.' in the case ot Chili, at least, came near involving this couu try in a dishonorable war. He was nominated four years ago as a makeshift; be was renom mated this year by his own appointees. He was never the right man for president, and his most distinguished service to his country, barring his honorable war record, will be his retirement from the presidency next March. DAVID 15. HILL,. 11l the glory of today David B. Bill must have a liberal share. He has si lenced his slanderers, confounded his calumniators, lie is a Democrat of Democrats, and he has again earned the gratitude of hid party. For four years he has rested under the utterly an just accuisation of treachery toward the Democratic, national ticket in 1888. This has been his opportunity to refute tins persistent asperaioa on his party loyalty, and be has done It grandly, completely. He was an honorable aspirant for the presidential nomination at Chicago, but lie bowed to the will of the convention, and from that day until the glorious triumph of yesterday (iROVEB CLEVE LAND has had no more loyal, earnest and tireless supporter in the entire country than David B. Hii.i.. Honor where honor is due. David B. Hill did not lose New York for Cleveland Id 1888, nor did he alone win it for him yesterday. But he. did his utmost to elect Cleveland in isss and attain this year; and David B. Hill's utmost is a good deal. THK CAMPAIGN*. The campalgQ which culminated yes terday was one of (he quietest in the history of the country. It was essen tially a campaign of education. Bluster aud hurrah were not lacking, to be sure, but they were conspicuous by their scarcity in comparison with previous campaigns. Logic, not sentiment, was the ruling factor in determining results. The issue} were placed before the people exhaustively, but with little bitterness (.[■personal feeling, and, as a. jury sworn to its duty of returning a verdict in ac cordance with the evidence and unaf fected by prejudice, the great bod.v of voters proceeded to its task of determin ing what shall be the economic policy of this country during the next four years. Such a campaign furnishes a very gratifying indication of progress in popular intelligence. When shouflnc gives way to thinking, when lmrrsih uives way to reason in affairs political, the country may be accounted sate, no matter what the face of the returns shows. Danger lurKs in the emotional excitement which sometimes seizes nations, as well as individuals. The thoughtful campaign Is a national bless ing- Let us hope that it has come to stay. THK ELECTION. The Globe greets its readers this morning with ti'Jin^s winch are not only profoundly gratifying to the De mocracy, but which will also be received with satisfaction by a large part of the men who supported Bksj.ymix Harbi son in the contest just ended. The campaign of 1892 will be a memorable one in the history of the country, both because of the method ill which it was fought and because of the result which has crowned it. The return of these national battles, once iv four years, has heretofore been regarded with appre hension by our business interests, be cause they have been accompanied by demonstrations and disturbances which have allured ouc people from theii ordinary pursuits and have disordered and confused the chan nels of regular and peaceful trade. In tense feelings of an uely and portent ous complexion have been excited, and 1 , instead ol a strife over opposing econ omic principles, the land has been de vastated and its fair fame sullied by a wild carnival of bitter personalities, and by a reign of corruption and passion ap palling to contemplate. The year LBBB marked the beginning of a change in these tactics, and the year 18'.)2 has witnessed their complete abandonment. Our citizens have con tinued to buy and sell during ttie past summer and fall as though the presi dency were not at stake. The drum and the fife have been but seldom heard on the streets. The argument by fire crackers and Roman candies has been but little resorted to. Fath ers ana mothers have not had to dread the entrance of the daily pavers into their homes lest they stain the minds of youug children with a putrescent mass of foul scandals and outrageous charges. From the begin ning to the close courtesy, fair dealing and mutual consideration have charac terized the conduct of the two candi dates, and the appeal has been made to voters' reason rather than to their baser emotions. So unusual has all this been that even the politicians have been deceived into mistakiug earnest and silent thought for indifference and apathy. It has been hard to realize that men could form deep convictions without the arti iicial stimulus of cheers and martial music, and until the news from many battle-tiekls began to come over the wires last night no one was prophet enough to 'predict the outcome with any confidence. Now, however, it is known, and it is a proud vindication of the virtue of popular in stitutions honestly operated. Ukovkij Cleveland has been elected by an overwhelming majority in the electoral college, and the principles which he represents and embodies have tri umphed gloriously. At such a result the patriotic renew their pledges of faith in the efficacy of the ballot as an arbiter of governmental problems, and the capacity of the people to direct their own destiny is established by evidence too conclusive to leave .room for dispute. There was one paramount issue be fore the country in this campaign, and Geoveb Cleveland, with an unpar alleled exhibition of courage, iiad placed it there in his famous message of ISB7. This issue was whether the taxing power of the central government should be diverted from its legitimate object ot raising revenue for "the government's support to be an instrument for the pecuniary favoritism of individuals and classes. The consolidated wealth of the United States answered this inquiry in the affirmative, and so great was its strength that four years ago it achieved the defeat of the Democratic leader who assailed the justice of its position. If, as some thinkers have con tended, no reliance is to be placed on popular intelligence and purity, the verdict would be the same ?s ofteu as the question was asked. But Grovku Cleveland and the Democracy d^d not think thus meanly of the. people. They believed that if they could be brought by calm appeals to their reason and their better feelings to understand how enormous a crime protection was, the gigantic resources of selfishness and greedy riches would not avail to maintain the shackles which had beeu forged about our industrial life. The event has proved that Gooveb Clevjslajjb and the Democracy were right, lv the verdict of yesterday Mc- Kinleyism met its death, and the theory that high taxes are the road to prosper ity has received a rebuke from which it will never recover. Had the result been anything different, the institutions for which our forefathers gave the blood from their veins might well have been despaired of. Nothing could have arrested our progress to a condition analogous to that of old world society. A dominant and favored class of mo nopolists would have guided the machi nery of government for their own aggrandizement, and the bulk of our people would as serfs have toiled to enrich their taskmasters. This dismal fate has been averted, and the doct'ine uf equal rights for all and special privileges for none has been written in deeper colors into our national bili of rights. We have emerged from a grand battle for human liberty and the truth has carried the day. The captain wiio boro free dom's standard aloft manfully and unflinchingly even in the hour of route and disaster, now stands on 1 1 it- hill top, and every battery of the enemy is silenced. With Jonv Hampdkx, who defiantly denied tne right of a ring to impose unjust taxes on his subjects. THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MOENIXG, NOVEMBER 9, 1592.

Tlie Globk has repeatedly predicted Democratic success In Illinois. It as serted directly after the Chicago con vention that lllinoi • would be found in the Democratic column in November. It persisted in its faith in this result; even in the face of the New York Press' discouraging rejoinder that the predic tion was "an iridescent dream of idiotic Democracy." And as recently as yes terday morning the Globe said: "Keep your eye on Illinois. It represents one of the surprises the awakening West will spring on the moribund g. 6. p. to morrow." The surprise lias been sprung. Illinois is Democratic according to the most complete information received up to the hour of going to press. The "iridescent dream" has developed into a glorious reality. The "idiotic Democracy" pleads hap pily guilty to the "idiocy" which can dream such dreams and accomplish their realization. And the Globk wears its honors as a prophet blushingly. THE MAX OF DESTINY. Grover Clevklaxd is the rifan of destiny. He is the first man to run thrice for the presidency and be twice elected. lie is the first ex-president to become a president-elect. Lie is the strongest, most courageous, ablest and most strictly honorable and conscientious president the country has had since Jacksox, with the single pos sible exception of Abraham Lixcolx.

How the Future King of Eng land Takes in th 9 "Show." He Expressly Forbids Any Demonstration in His Honor. He Is Very Democratic in His Entrances and Ex its, And He Baffles Managerial Efforts to Fence Him Off. Recently a reporter for the London Morning had a conversation with "a certain gentleman who has for years been connected with arranging the vis its of the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family to the theater." The informant said, among other things: The royal box is booked in the usual way of business, and charged to the Marlborough house account. The prrce is not increased from the ordinary library tariff, and the stories about a nominal price or a larger one being paid by royalty only exist i:i the imagination of the papers who invent such tara diddles." Sometimes it happens that a vox cannot be got at the particular the ater decided upon. When tins is the case, it is put nicely to the party who has booked the royal" box if they coald see their way to obliging his royal high ness, and the result is of course invaria bly in the affirmative. The prince, iiow ever, is very reluctant to have this done, and always wishes that the party obliging shall be ai little incon venienced as possible, so much so that when told that the box had been con ceded he generally remarks: ■ "Why d»i you disturb anybody on my account? 1 could have come here an other evening. Flease see that they are thanked in my name." "Has there ever been a refusali" "Well, yes, once or twice, but it has always be'en done graciously. In that case 'a representation is made to his royal highuess.anu they try for a box at another theater. When he goes to a theater it is his earnestly ex pressed desire to be treated ex actly the same as one of the or dinary audience. Little displays of flow ers, bouquets, satin programmes, etc., are all very nice, but the prince does not care for them, and would much rather do without them. Another thing which annoys him is that he should be drawn attention to by the performance on his arrival of the "National Anthem," or "God Bless the Prince of Wales." As ne said on one occasion. "Why must the amusement of every member of this audience be disturbed for my sake?" This was at the Olympic theater during the run of '•Fun on the Bristol." As soon as the royal box became occupied everybody was astonished to see the or chestra suddenly stand up in the middle or the performance and begin playing "God Bless the Prince of Wales." Of course the whole house rose en masse, every eye was directed to the royal box, and ilia iippla-ise was deafening. The prince immediately left the box and de manded an explanation. Mr. Jarratt ar rived and explained that it was only the oveizealousne.ss of a too patriotic band conductor. This concluded the inci dent, but it was accepted as a precedent and the same intimated to the managers generally. A Tunnel for the Prince. The prince had never visited the Em pire theater In its old opera days. It was represented to him that lie would be pleased with "The Lady of ttie Locket," then running at the house. It was written by the son of hii American judge, Willie Fuilerton. The manage ment assumed that the prince would not care to pass through the general public to the royal box, and actually built a wooden "baize-lined tunnel from the Leicester square entrance to the stage box. At the end of the entr'acte, when some of the party returned to the royal box/they found it empty, ond could not for the "moment account for the fact. What was their surprise to find his royal highness walking round admiring the beauties of, at that time, London's latest opera house, slowly strolling a'ong with the rest of the audi ence, oblivious of royal dignity, wooden tunnels and other managerial precau tions! In fact, a consideration for the comfort of the audience seems to oc cupy the mind of his royal highness much more than his own amusement. At ono time managers used to keep the curtain down until the royal party ar rived. This, of course, caused shouting and stamping among the popular parts, who were ignorant of the real facts of the case. The prince heard some of this once and was so annoyed that he gave orders that on no account were he ever late — was the curtain to be kept dowu beyond the advertised time. "These people," he once re marked, "have to catch their 'busses and trains, and in order to do so they depend on the performance beginning, and have a right to expect its doing so at the advertised tune, so in future please see that their arrangements are not upset for me." Then again, you will always notice that hj waits till the final curtain has descend ed before rising to leave. This is hia invariable rule, so much so that 1 have known him to sit out the entire harle quinade of a Drury lane pantomime. There are three or four thea ters only where he ever breaks this rule. They are those houses which have no royal entrance, and here the prince anticipates the final curtain by two or three minutes so that his departure will not disturb the carriage traffic of the re mainder of the audience. Value or a Royal Visit." Immediately .the prince is announced to have visited a theater the booking, rises, barometer-like," to a ' «cod heat.. This is in reference to the bookinsr pub lic, but beyond this I may tell you that when his royal highness likes a play lie : invariably recommends it to ail his a friends. In many other ways the prince is always thinking of the drama. When- . ever he sees a benefit announced for some well-known artist who has often ministered to his amusement, or some poor player who has fallen on bad times, he immediately puts his name down for stalls or boxes to a sub-" staiitial amount.

New York.— lt is unfortunate that, while there are so many seers, prophets and poets of woe, there are also some clear-headed, sunny-hearted people irbOsj can see that the world is out of joint without despair of its being set right. Miss Machar la evidently one of these. She has a story to tell— and charmingly well she tells it— which shows how bravely and blithely many human hearts are responding to the throb of brotherly sympathy, and breaking down ob stacles noth outward and inward, iv determination to help their fellows. In developing this theme Miss Machar deftly makes occasion to portray a va riety of interesting characters, and shows her skill at the very outset by a scene between two of the principal per sonages—tne aesthetic and rhetorical clergyman. Rsv. Cecil Chillingworth,nnd her hero, Koland Graeme, the knightly spirited young journalist who would "ride abroad, redressing human wrongs." Following closely upon this, other scenes and characters come rap idly upon the stage, little Cecille Trav ers", d beautiful child iv poverty-stricken garb: Rev. Mr. Alden, a clergyman of the hearty, Christian, hopeful kind; Mrs. Travel's, the dying mother of the quaint little maul; Nora ßlanehard, a lovely and womanly young woman, healthttil of soul and body, who devotes herself to the poor young" mother; Mr. Alden's delightful family, including the charming Grace, throueh whom one instinctively feels the entrance of a ro in.ince for" Roland Graeme; and an afternoon tea, which collects more of the dramatis persons. Before the reader has passed twenty pages tiie at tention, not only, but ihc interest and sympathy, are laid hold on with a gentle out a sure hand, and the lives of these people are "all seen To be intimate ly interrelated, although some of them are strangers to one another. This story of "Roland Graeme. Kingiit,' does certainly show a practical famili arity with the "seamy side" of life, and unflinchingly portrays many of the miseries of '"the other half,'" and it is well that the comfortable members of society be— as they so often are, these days— brought, face to face with the troubles of their less fortunate neigh bors. But with all of this, with evi dences of having pondered well the problems of the day and studied their treatment by the best economic writers and industrial experimenters. Periodicals Received.

Her Life in California Marred by the Ogre's Pres ence. It Has Been Claiming" Her for Its Own for Several Years, But She Fights It Off in Many Curious Ways. Who would think that, asks the San Francisco Examiner, happy, sprightly, charming Lillian . .Russell was haunted by a horrible, hideous ogre? Not one of the tribe of startling bogies, spooks and ghosts that stalk with clanking chains into your chamber as the clock is strik ing midnight, but a vapory, .vague, fiendish old thing that bends his best energies to destroying the beauty of the hapless woman on whom he fastens his clutch. lie has his hold on Lillian Rus sell.aud he doesn't propose to be shaken off. Of course it goes without say-ing that the more beautiful the woman, the harder it is for - the unhappy lady to gain her freedom. Hence the stupen dous struggle that the famous singer is having. All her friends and relatives are straining to help her, however, but no one is working harder than herself. When one of her bird-like trills ends with a little shiver and she glances ap prehensively at the wings of the stage, be sure the dreadful ogre is making his presence known to her in some queer way. Her relatives and best friends never mention the ogre to her; that would cause palpitation of the heart and ren der her more susceptible to his blight- Ing presence. But when they gather in secret corners aid talk mysteriously about an assemblage of minute, round vesicles closely agglomerated and im bedded in the interstices of the common cellular tissue, acquaintances of the family understand that they are talking m a roundabout way of the ogre. Man ager French culls him "adipose tissue extravagantly prominent." The call boy irreverently calls him "Fat." Not the "fat" of the piece, Everybody with one accord lays that as a tribute of merit at the feet of the fair singer. Lillian Russell does not mind that a bit, but when there is added thereto a superabundance of ndipose tissue she bursts into a perfect chorus of objections. The fulsome present could so easily be given to Ilayden Cof fin, John Dudley, Charley Dungau, Louis Harrison and so many others; besides it would look so much more generous and be so much more appreci ated. It is to lay this terrible ogre in the dust of memory that Miss Russell bants. '•Unhappy the woman who is obliged to bant," says the sage. Miss Russell does not bent as a business, like Fanny Dav enport, but rather as a fine art. It is a delicate, refined little system by which she deals the dreadful ogre soft little love taps that play sad havoc with his closely agglomerated cellular tissue. Fanny Davenport entered Into a regular slugging match with the fiend. She went to Europe, entered an insti tution, gave all her time to the work in hand, and knocked him sky high. Tim contest, however, came very near doing up the actress. She rid herself of the ogre, but he took with him some of her •beauty. Rather a questionable victory after all. Lillian Russell is more wary, and she has taken advantage of the lesson. That dreadful old ogie never comes near her but what he leaves a few clinging cellular tissues as a reminder. but she goes at them quietly and sys tematically till they melt ir.to air, into thin, impalpable air. But she dare not laugh and celebrate her victory, for that would bring them back in all their tenacious tin loveliness. Lillian Russell basu't gained any rlesh since her arrival in. California. She knows what the glorious climate is as a multiplier of adipose tissue, and has taken time, or rather the ogre, by the forelock. Every afternoon she is at work— not on her sweet voice and stage expression— that comes earlier in the da\— but on the irrepressible cellu lar tissue. For some reason or other the fibers fairly yearn to cling auout her, and it takes a deal of coaxing and wheedling to make them let go. They linger long and lovingly, and the better Miss Hussell looks, and the nicer she talks and the more charming she feels, the harder it is to get rid of the pesky things. Dudes at the stage-entrance door are nothing compared to them. Accompanied by her rnuid. is driven to the park every afternoon. In the carriage with them there is always a frowsy, nervous irrepressible little terrier. A quiet driveway is found, the three alight, and the conscientious work of the afternoon begins. Miss Russell starts off on a swinging rapid gate, closely followed by her maid and the excited little terrier. She walks like the typical American girl, but there is more motion to her body and limbs, more freedom, so as to get every pos sible benefit from the exercise. If the snapping little terrier demands some at tention the chances are lie will be scampered after fur a few rods. That brings the color to the cheeks, the ozone into the lini<s and causes the in fantile cellular tissue to weaken its weak graps and go wailing into the has been. Two miles is the limit set for the walk. Miss Russell can swing over three miles easily enough without a pause, for- she's a famous walker, but before her mind's eye the evening performance always looms up. She wants to be fresh and in trim for it. In all her successful career she has never yet missed a performance through ill health. No one on the stajre enjoys better health, or, for that matter, gets "more enjoyment out of life. The only thing to mar it is that dread ful, haunting, omnipresent ogre. He made iirs appearance to her some years ago. He was a chipper, easy-go ing, vaporish young creature then, and slip did not pay much attention to him. It was only a very few years, however, till the chorus to her bird songs became, "Oh, for a waist of 20, 21, 22, or even '23 inches." ' Alas, time and tide, Lillian Russell and the: adipose ogre strutted •and. logged at tin; corset strings, but the syl Din tout never came. Beer and wine were .eschewed, then sweet things and things of ii starchy nature, under whose guise the ogre of obesity lurks. . Only a few months' ago the singer observed with a fervent sleh: "-Any one with talent may better their singing finalities by continuous effort, but to retain cer tain physical qualities"— and tmother dolorous sigh followed that spoke vol umes. All in all, however, she has not been so sprightly in several years as she is now. . After the rapid walk in the park comes hard rubbing and a perfumed bath.

Atlanta Constitution. Truly, the lite of an editor is full of vicissitudes. The brethren Bung in last week and raised a coodiy sum for the purpose of vine us a post-gradu ate course at the Keely seminary. We kissed our wife good-bye, and made other preparations for leading a more scholarly life. All would have gone well if the manager of the seminary had not insisted on searching our small stock of luggage, when he found seven bottles of tonic marked with various labels selected from those we keep on hand for our popular druggist. The manager called in his assistants, and. after holding a consultation, decided that his seminary could not stand the wear and tear of our presence as a pu pil. Consequently we are on deck airain. having placed the money raised for us where it would do the most good. All's well that ends well- The melting of our roller by the Sep tember sun shows that an honest and a strictly virtuous life has no effect on the weather. Our subscribers should not hesitate to hand in their arrearages. The dastardly slush writer for the Kinderhook Courier intimates that our efforts in behalf of good government are calculated to demoralize and weaken the Democratic party. This is the same editor who voted for Horace (Ireeley for president, and who returned to Georgia from Texas because he thought the records were destroyed when the Kind erhook court house' was burned. We have some of these records in our safe, and we propose to Bee that they got into the hands of the sheriff. The editor of the Ash bank Advocate says the editor of the Billville Banner is a myth.

Our assortment of these necessities of the season is as elegant as it is complete, and ladies can hardly realize what the son has brought in this line until they have inspi our splendid array of all the new styles in every ma terial, which are going at an express train rate. Good things always go quickly, and you must come quickly not to miss them. The early buyer in Furs always gets the cream of the stock. We have had an enormous trade this week, and sold more garments than in any one week since ISS7.

We shall have no more Seal goods this season — as we can't find any good quality skins — so we advise early pur chases. After Xmas shop pers won't find much this year, sure.
