New York 8tar. •No good Democrat can contemplate the attitude of the South in the politics of the past twenty-four years without a feel ing of enthusiastic gratitude. Beyond all its conflicting personal and industrial in terests the South Mbs united in cherishing, as the pearl above price,the domination of Democratic principles. To this end all minor ambitions have been subordinated: and without the unquenchable and united loyalty of the South, the success of the Democratic party would at any time before the 4th of last November have been beyond the pale of probability. Recognizing its obligations to the South- the intellect and character of the South in moulding the policy and oatlining the alms of the Democratic party of the fu ture. At least two members of President •Cleveland’s cabinet will come from the South, if the commonest considerations of justice and fitness enter into its composi tion. Virgiula and Louisiana have al ready suggested their claims, and it is unquestionable that whatever Southern Btates may be represented, plenty of good men can be found who will nonor any of fice by its acceptance. We know that many conservative Dem ocrat. Ill the North, anil all of the Inde pendent Republicans, will contend that ranch hearty recognition of Southern claims 1. injudicious and sinister. Bat honor and principle are above mere conciliatory considerations. For twenty-four years the consistent, unquestioning, unanimous fidelity of the Sonth has been the nucleus of the Democracy of the Union, and salt has been steadfast through defeat it la temperate in triumph. Shall Its rights and privileges now be denied, end its re wards postponed, through any timorous -or seemingly politic reflections? Bat we urge the fall representation of tiro Sonth in the cabinet, not from reasons of justice more than mere considerations of expediency. This election has placed the Democncy again in power, but North ern Democrats will show their failure to fully realize the signlficence of the fact If the influence of the South la in any way curtailed or belittled. Since Democracy ia best for the whole people, it mast be maintained ms well as re-established. .Now, the cardinal principle of Democ racy la the rule at the majority— . and the Sonth repreaents the major ity of the Democratic party. Through the disasters of the past its solid support has been retained throngh the confidence that success would give it a justly propor tionate influence. If the Democratic lead ers betray this trust; if the South is float ed and ignored at the will of the Independ ents, four years will limit the soope of tho power of the Democratic party. Bat, after all, this vindication of its claims is unnecessary. The 6onth will have, as it ought, an equitable and duly proportionate influence in the next admin istration, and the result will confound the demagogue alarmists of the Beupbllcan party.

Nashville American. It is a fact that the newspapers of the Sonth that have the public ear are for pro tection, and all helped to make the senti ment that made the platform. The St. Joe QautU, the liveliest pa per in Missouri; the New Orleans Timu-liemocrnt, the New Orleans Picayune, tho Mobile Reyiitcr, the Birmingham Aye, the Atlanta Omitflaftm, the Macon TaiKiturtt and Mssaiaaia, tho Richmond *VUpatch, the Wheeling Jtleyiiter, the Louisville Post, tho Augusta Conetilutionaliit and tho Nashville Ameri can were at! at work for a tariff adjusted for protection. And in the con vention—in the committee of thir ty-eight for making a platform— the States of Delaware, Maryland, Vir ginia, West Vhglnla, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana cast their votes on the side of protection for the laboring people. Let no member of Corgress be deceived abont where the Sonth stands on this great question, Georgia, taking tho lead now in development of the new Sonth, sounded a note the other day. Gov. Jce Brown,who stands at tho head, ia out in the lead, and ia bold to declare his convictions and whose votes are always recorded on tho side of nro.ection In the Senate, waa reelected without opposition, only two votes in the entire body cast against him. This was Georgia speaking. The Denser of Insomnia.

The Work Cut Out for Congress. Washington Special. One week from to-morrow Congress meets. There ta a strong probability that ft will do very little of Importance tho com ing session beyond passing the necessary appropriation bills. It wlU be practically a two months' session. Congress does ao little work in December in ordinary Umee that It lb not worth while torall that month a part of the session. This time there will be a large exodns for Near Orleans abont the 15th, special trains having been provided and a free ride guaranteed to the opening ceremonies of the World’s Fair. Those who remain at their posts may whatkawav at the calendars, which are loaded to the muzzle with bills. The House calendars for December 1 have just been printed. They consist to gether of nearly one hundred pages. There are about thirteen hundred hills now before the Boose In various stages ol in completeness. Ii Congress met tomorrow and Introduced no new business, it could notact on half of these measures. They are divided at follows: In committee of the whole, 176; on the House calendar, 166; private calendar, 430; Senate bills on aeo- ond or third reading, 480, and about forty others reported Irons the calendars and undisposed of, special orders, privileged reports and business on the Speaker’s ta ble.

Rome Letter In the Baltimore Stio. The Pope baa been suffering from a slightly ulcerated sore throat the paat two months, yet retains the ever wiry vigor of physical health and the more wonderful mental strength. He will not be per suaded to allow others to relievo him of bis mental occupation and peraisla in "do ing everything himself for himself.” A rare ability exists In great executive men to select the right coadjutors and administrators, bnt no one can make "bricks without straw,” and Leo XIII finds many vacant places In the Vatican departments only with a name to signify occupation. Each day goes to prove the Pope’s great superiority to his subordinates. At present Leo XIII is hourly, late and early, engaged in composing and amend ing important circulars bearing upon the faithful as well as the degenerate, on the church and on the state. In a little while an important letter will be issued oy hts Holiness on faith and morals In relation to tree state government. Another topic interesting hts Holiness in the wsy of a general circular is "the more strict ob servance of the lobricsof the church in Italy and elsewhere,” Rumor of n Row Between the Headnnd Tall. N. Y. Star. Mach to the surprise of the politicians, Vioe-PresideDt-cfect Hendricks returned from Albany latejon Saturday night. He took np bis old quarters at the Fifth Ave nue Hotel. It waa noticed by the observ ant that he did not register his name, and that his manner was notso serene as when he had left to go and visit his principal at Albany that morning. “Why, Governor,” remarked an ac quaintance yesterday evening, “what has brought you back so soon?" “It was my intention to stay in Albany an hour or two only. There la a press of people round Mr. Cleveland congratulating him at present, and anti! he dlipoaes of them, and the novelty of seeing the next President wears off, little can be done in the way of business." . "What do you think of Mr. Cleveland?" “He is a very nice gentleman and hos pitable," was the reply. Gov. Hendricks’s return gave rise to the rumor that he and the President-elect had had a difference of opinion. This is what was said in whispers here and there last night When Mr. Hendricks had sainted hia chief formally and commenced talking abont the cabinet, Gov. Cleveland drew the oonverettion around to Mr. Hen. dricka’s Brooklyn speech, intimating that it was too pronounced for a beginning; ’.bat thtr should proceed more slowly, anil hat, after ell, there was ample ti ne to anrarge matters before the 2d of March, 1886. This is said to have nettled Mr. Hendricks, who. so tho co>sIp ran, gevo the President-elect to understand he aid not like the Idea of Senator V orhees assenting ao much authority in the lan guage he had nsed respecting the next cabinet, etc. Alter this the statesman from Indiana ts said to have left abruptly. There tuny he very little truth It 1 mrr: indeed, (here may bo none, p eJblo that the enstips t mountain of a molehill; bu the House are half as many thousands aa these are hundreds. There are two meuures of the three upon the Bpcalcer’s table, which are party measures and will provoke debate. These are the Mexican war pension bills and the bill to forfeit certain land grants. These land grant measures will be crowded by Mr. Cobb and other Democrats. Another attempt will be made to secure legislation looking to a reduction of the surplaa la the treasury. There are three election cases pending; aho, one dead Congressman to mourn oy eulogy. The Mexican war and land grant measures are special orders and, with the public building bills, hqve the right c f way. not to Interfere with ap propriation bills. The confidence with which the Democrats will posh these may, in view of the recent victories, be imag ined, as also may be the sort of a session this is likely to be. Swimmlrs the Missouri With Ona Hand. Bismarck Tribune. An Indian named Tsl-ung-che-ung. one of the nomaiics who have been roaming about the city and vicinity far some time, performed a tru*y wonderful test yesterday In the presence of a few admirers of his tribe win gathered to witness his exhibi tion of daring and strength. The hero of the Ule >s a strong, square-built, good- look ing Indian, and his feat was to swim the Missouri river with his left baud tied behind him, bis reward for this being the hand and heart in marriage of a bewitch ing (?) daughter ol one of hia fellow- scalpers. TUo wonder of the feat was not only in swimming the treacherous stream with one arm fastened behind him, but in going in water almost as cold as fee, with bis buck skin trousers on to catch the sand and threaten to pull him to tbo bottom. At 10 d’dock yesterday morning be was in read- loose, and bis admirers, together with the girl of his choice, were on the bank jnat above tho bridge to aeo him start. It was a thrilling and pathetic scene. The young gallant gazed op and down the treacherous stream, while the girl ki-yied and Bang in a weird, mournful manner a seemingly plaintive love chant It was a novel and certainly interesting scene. Everything The young Indian, with a graceful wavo of the right hand, and amid the encourag ing shouts ol the other jeds, shook the band of tho - fair prize for which he was risking his life, chopped offa little aborigi nal music, in a sort of good-by helfo-lM- don’t-see-yon-sgain air and plunged into tbe river. A yell then went np from the crowd, which caused ths capillary Integu ment of tho rcportorlal cranium to start zentthward at the rate of a mile a minute. The swimmer bold dived from the bank and was lost to view for a number of sec onds, when he came to the snrface several yards above the point from which he started, having made a long diagonal dive up and across ths stream. He struck out boldly, paddling himself along with one band. When ho reached tho middle of the stream he raised his srm and went straight down, disappearing be neath the muddy surface. As the waters cloud over him the maiden, who had been watching every movement with in terest, manifested great nervoni excite ment, and lost as she waa about to jump luto the frail canoe, which was half ltnnched, her lover appeared with a toss of tbe head, and his raven locks floated upon the surging waters. As ho neared the opposite shore the ad miring braves, led by the girl, began waving their hands and singing a rong of joy, and when he reached the bank and stood facing hts admirers, load were the exclamations of the gladness sent np from the point where he started. It was Indeed awondrrlnl feat—swimming that stream with one arm oompletaiy disabled and wearing heavy bnckskin pantaloons and shirt, with no boat or body guard to accompany him. . Bnt he accomplished it with apparent case, and lor his reward received what to him was worth more than all else combined. The reporter waa told tbe wedding woold take place at the camping grounds of the Indi ans, twenty miles north, next Tuesday. Among those who witnessed the feat were several strange Indians, who bad been in vited from afar to participate In the festiv ities of the wedding. IIANOEO BY A SINGLE HAIR. Explanation of th* Ezscutlon of Waste- lewsky In California# From tho Ban Francisco Bulletin. An explanation of tho hanging of the murderer, Wasielewskv, at San Jose, by means of a siogie hair, ia as follows: The gallows trap on which tho condemned stood had doable doors, swinging from the centre of both sides. These doors, consti tuting ihe trap, were held in poelUon so as to form a part at toe niatform of the gallows by a spring bolt This bolt wos sprang, thus opening the nun-weighted trap, by tho falling ol n fonrleen-ponnd weight. This weight waa suspended by a .mall cord, which camo np to the nil on the gallows back ot the condemned. TbStord instead of being at once and (imply fastened, was woujd around a "barrel." This ‘’barrel" was ly ing In a borizoDtalposition, parallel with tbe rail and held a few Inches above it by upright supports at either end. The cord holding the weight waa wound around the barrel until tbe resisting power ol the friction almost held the weight. This "al most" waa arrived at by previous experi ments, until it wsa reduced to inch a tine point that tbe additional strength ol a sin gle hair was enough to suspend the weight; or, more properly, prevent the cord from •lipping Ooe end of tbe hair was fastened to tbe cord aud the other end to a screw driven In the barrel. When the hair waa cut tbe oord slipped aronnd the barrel, the fourteen-pound weight dropped ten feet, springing the trap-bolt, and Watlelewsky shot through tbe opening. It is said that Judge Beiden, who tried Waslelewsky, suggested this peculiar scheme ol retributive justice, bnt the de tails were worked out by Sheriff Branham. The hair which wss used came from a lock ol the murdered woman’s hair. A Phenomena! Journal.
