Mouk recounts in Now Jersey legisla
tive districts put the result of the elec
tion there again in doubt, with the
chances that the democrats will either
have a small majority in the legislature,
>r that a labor candidate elected by
democratic votes will hold the balance
of power. If the latter should lie the ease,
the representative of labor will have a
bard time of il, with a good chance of
using his reputation, however fair lie
may be.
It is strange that men who protend
■i.o believe in popular government can
allow partisan zeal to influence them so
much as to lead them to “gerrymander”
a state or to defend any such trick in
tended to deprive the people of fair ex
pression of their views by their repre
sentatives. But both democrats and re
publicans engage in this abominable
business whenever they get the oppor
tunity. Indiana has been gerryman
dered by the democrats so that a repub
lican majority of voters fails to get con
trol of the legislature, which represents
.a minority of the voters at.the lust elec
tion. Ohio has been gerrymandered by
f he republicans so that the latter have a
< disproportionately large share of the
members of congress representing the
tate, and Pennsylvania is the same
.way.
HII.KXC1: OK Till? WUPiK.I SORT.
Once upon ii time, iu a variety theatre,
one of the subordinates mulled upon the
“(age and interrupted the performance,
exclaiming, "Simpkins has stolen my
perquisites I” This appeal to the audience
was greeted with shouts of laughter and
with cries which could scarcely he mis
taken for applause. The appellant for
the sympathy and justice of the audience
retired, amid the uproar, to his place be
hind the scenes, and tho business of the
stage was resumed, with as much order
as could be expected under the circum
stances. Simpkins met his accuser in
the wilderness waste of “wings” and
flapping canvas, and the crude ingre
dients of mimic thunder and lightning,
and he bought, or convinced, or seared
his accuser, and the mollified complaint,t
rushed hack upon the stage und shouted,
“Simpkins did not steal my perquisites.”
This manly retraction was greeted by the
audience with a greater burst of noise
than the accusation had provoked ; hut
there was a hissing accompaniment
which indicated that the audience re
garded accuser and accused as a forlorn
couple of idiots.
The theatre claims to “hold the mirror
up to nature.” However this may be in
the general course and long run, the
mirror was certainly displayed in this
particular instance. The audience eared
not two straws for the two actors in this
supplementary farce, but did enjoy the
amusement which grew out of it. “All
the world’s a stage,” and as all the men
and women are held to he merely players,
some irate person, full of self, is every
now and then bursting upon the world,
the aforesaid stage, with private griefs,
equivalent to the loss of personal per
quisites. The reception which the com
plaint receives has usually littlesympathy
for the interrupter. The conclusion to
which he comes in the end is that, so far
us his own supposed relations to the gen
eral public are concerned, “silence is
golden.” lie ought to have kept his
growl to himself—he should have con
cealed his sore head, instead of parading
it in public.
Of course, in matters of general inter
est publicity is inevitable. But it is hu
man infirmity to regard one’s own self
as the centre of the great community, or
at least of the lessor circle in which most
of ns live und move. The Three Tailors
of Too ley street, who wrote themselves
“the people of England,” cut out a suit
which, like a stock of ready-made cloth
ing, may fit anybody'. A book has just
been published upon “Tho Self-conscious
ness of Noted Persons.” It is not only
the “noted” who are possessed of a brave
idea of themselves. The unnoted are
just as lull of self us tho prominent. The
wise keep their own secret, and their
memory is most pleasant whose secret,
estimate of themselves dies with them.
The oleomargarine tax law is likely to
have, in some directions, quite a reverse
effect from what was intended. While
manufacturers expect a present falling oil'
of sabs, due to cnioroeinont of the law,
reports from all over the country’ show n
general impression among producers
that, in time, the use of oleomargarine
will far exceed anything it has Syet
known. Il is aid that constant im
provements in tho original processes en
able a suhJiinco In he manufactured
which surpasses any but the very puri st
butter, and that, when the public become
educated to the u.-e of the substitute,
genuine butter will take a secondary
place for general u-e.
The prohibition vote of Pennsylvania
atthelast election was more than twice
as large as that, east in 1SS-1 for the St.
John electors. Tho total reached 82,44b.
falling short of the lowest prohibitionist
estimate (40,000), hut exceeding the gen
eral estimate put upon if by active poli
ticians. The “country” districts helped
the vote largely, the great cities doing
much less than their share, though the
gain in both Philndelplr.aand Alleghenpy
exceeded the average gain for the state.
The vote is not large enough anywhere
to he much of a menace to tiro other
parties, and, unless it can be materially
increased, might better be employed in
helping one or the other of existing par
ties to elect good men than in fruitleis
third party schemes.
A caulk dispatch from London reports
that the powers have all agreed upon
Russia’ .candidate for the Bulgarian
throne, Prince Nicholas of Mingrolia. if
true, this probably settles that branch of
the subject for the present, though “the
interesting fact remains" to believers in
homerulethat the Bulgarians themselves
have not chosen him, but another fellow.
The choice of a ruler there is as big a
sham as the occasional choice of United
States senators in this country.
Tin: telegraph editor of the Savannah
News is resolved never to be ambiguous.
In the News of November 17 he heads
Adjutant-General Drum’s report on the
militia, “Sons of Mars by Birth.” Il has
rolled a burden as big as a cotton bale ( if
our mind to read that flaming headline.
We were afraid all along that they might
be sons of Mars by death. It was evi
dently one of Ma’s youngest sons that
wrote that head line.
If the man who thinks he can run a
newspaper as it should be run, also thinks
he can run a circus, he has an excellent
chance to buy out W. W. Cole and try
his luck. There are men in this world,
unfortunately, who have just talent
enough to attend to everybody’s business
but their ow u.
Ii- Mr. Powderly’s advice 1-; of such
I weight and importance a« to put an end
to the Chicago packers’ strike, alter great
loss lias been incurred by both the work
ing packers and their employers, would
it not have been much better to have
u.-ked and taken that advice before be
ginning t'ie strike? This is a simple
enough question, and yet it lies at tho
root of the successful conduct of the real
business of the Knights of Labor. They
have been like an army of independent
commands, only recognizing the authori
ty of a chief when they are beaten in de
tail and need.his help. Complete sub r
dination of local assemblies and of indi
vidual members is necessary to make the
organization strong and effective.
The Atlanta Capitol says: “The dinner
of last Tuesday, given to the military,
was probably the first military dinner
ever given in Georgia without alcoholic
beverages.” ft is not understood how
the toast could go round and after dinner
speeches stand alone; but the Georgia
militia is a brave body and ought to he
encouraged. There is economy in cutting
the liquor Hill at a banquet.
Puof. Foster, the Iowa weather
prophet, savs there will be a big storm
November IS. and winter will begin in
earnest December 1. He is probably
right about the beginning of winter. A
winter generally shows up about the first
of December.
A max in Pennsylvania has been sent
to a chain gang for swapping wives with
another man. He doubtless deserves his
punishment, and when Chicago is more
civilized some of her citizens will be
chained-gariged for swapping their wives.
At a convention of United Presbyte
rians held in Pittsburg it was resolved
that the organ must be kept out of the

telligent basis.
Philadelphia is a peculiar and well
laid-out city. The Inquirer says: “You

DID DAVIS WRITE IT ?
A l.cltfr From Him tu UuTmior Vuncc in ISliil,
Baltimore, November 19.—The Sun
will publish to-morrow a letter written by
Jefferson Davis, president of the confeder
acy, to Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, iu
January, 1863, which is believed to be the
letter referred to by Gen. Sherman in the
recent controversy, and upon which Sher
man based his charge that Davis threat
ened to use Lee’s army to coerce the south
ern states. The letter was published in
the Raleigh (N. C.) Standard in January,
1883, but lias been cut from the files of that
paper and was given to the Sun by un ex-
conlederate officer, who found it
among the effects of a gentleman
recently deceased, who was preparing a
history of North Carolina. The document,
which is quite lengthy, rehearses the futile
efforts made by Davis to obtain a confer
ence with the lenders looking to a peace
ful settlement of the difficulties, and eon-
cluds as follows
“I fear much from the tenor of the news
i received from North Carolina that an nt-
f nipt will be made by some bad men to
inaugurate movements \vhf Ii rmi.u he
considered as equivalent to aid and corn-
tort the enemy, and which all patriot*
should combine to put down at any cost.
You may count o:i my aid in every
effort to spare your, state the boom -to of
the v,il warfare which will devastate her
homes i f t he designs of these traitors is
suffered to make headway. I know you
will place yourself iu your legitimate place
in tho lei ! of those who will not tidier the
name of the old north state to be blacken-
ed by such a stslr.. Will yen pardon me
for lAiggc'.iti::;; ll. it my only source of dis
quietude on the subject has arisen
from fear that .you will de
lay loo long the notion which now
appears inevitable, and that by ycur over
earnest desire to reclaim by conciliation
men whom.you believe to be sound at h.arf
but whose loyalty la more than snziHv.ted
elsewhere, you will permit them to gather
such st.rungi.h as will require more violent
measures than are now needed. With
your influence and position the
promoters of the unfounded discords
now prevalent in your star-
would be put down without the use of
physical force if you would abandon the
policy of conciliation and But them at de-
iinnee. in this course, frankly upd (irmly
pursued, you would rally around you ad
that is I i'st and noblest in your s!a:e, and
your triumph would be bloodless. If a
contrary policy be adopted, i much fear
you will he driven to use force to reprccs
treason. In either event,howevi r.ho osMired
that you will have my cordial concurrence
and assistance in maintaining with yu tiie
honor and dignity and fair name of your
state, and iu your efforts to crush treason,
whether incipient]}’, as I believe it now is,
or matured; ns I believe, if not firmly met
it will in our future inevitably become. 1
have the honor to be,
“Very respectfully,
