THE NEW EUECTOKAH'OLLEUE.
The adding of our new start to the
national flag, representing the lour new
tate, Montana, Washington, North Da
kota and South Dakota, hai naturally led
to much speculation as to the effect on the
next presidential election. Some students
af politics have been free to say that New
York will now cease to be the seat of pol
Itical power, and that thesaying that the
party which carries New York will elect
the president will no longer hare the
farce it had in the past. As the electoial
college Is at presnt constituted there are
401 votes. Of these, 201 are a constitu
tlonal majority and at the last election the
votes were divided as follows; Demoras,
16S; Republicans, 233; or a Republican
majority of 65. Upon the basis of the
recent elections In the new states there
shouid be added to the Republican column
10 votes, or a total of 243, and to the
Democratic column thrree votes, makin
a to'.al of 171. As tiie whole number of
votes in the new college will be 414 the
party which prevails must abtain 208.
Without New York tne Republicans
could not secure, under the present condi
tion, but 207 votes and the result would
be a tie, We cannot see from this position
the force of the claim tnat New York is
not longer to hold the scepter. Certainly
until the reapportionment based on the
new census is made the Empire state wtll
be an all im-portant factor in national pol
itics. If the new states make any marked
change, it is swelling the importance of
the votes of Indiana. That state, like
New York, we believe to be naturally Dem
ocratic, and only by the most disreputa
ble means was it wrested from us in iSSS
by a meager majority of 3 34S. That is no
Indication of the vote in 1S92 and the trend
is all against the demonstration. Let it
appear probable that a t ie would result as
indicated above, and the pressure there
would be vastly increased overj former
years, The "blocks of five" operation will
hardly be repeated, and the popular tide
makes everything look bright in the
Hoosier state. There Is nothing to dis-
courage the Democrcy in the present out.
look. The young men, the men of opin
ions and the men of intellect are comeing
up to the support of its standard, and with
good candidates and tariff reform to pre
sent to the country the result seems assured.
The carrier pigeon has just been turned
to a curious use in Russia. It is to con
vey negatives of photographs taken in a
balloon. The first experiment was made
from the cupola of the Cathedral of Isaac,
nnd the subject photograph was the Win
ter Palace. The plate was packed in en
velopes inpenetrable to the light, and then
tied to the feet of the pigeons, who safely
and quickly carried them to the station at
Volkovo.
It Is mentioned, as an illustration of
Bismarck's simplicity of life, that the
numbers on the doors of many of the
bedrooms in the hotel that was on the
estate at Fredericksburg, when it was pre
sented to him by the old emperor, are
still to be seen, though It is many a year
since he had the structure altered for use
as his o wn residence.
The election of Selh Low to the presi.
dency of Columbia college placed another
tariff reformer at the head of a great insti
tuticn of learning. Mr. Low delivered a
Republican speech in Elmira in the course
f which he said: "You eannot hope to
keep the tariff at its present mark any
more than you can hope to keep the ocean
at high tide."
The ' spared monuments" still continue
In office. Cannot something be done to
prevent Demscrats from drawing fat sal
aries? Republican office seekers cannot
exist on wind in cold weather.
William Kelly, a Montana man, had always
declared that lie wanted to die in his boots, A
few days ago he was falally gored by an old
lame cow.andwhen dying he felt so chagrined
about it that the boys pulled his boots on.fired
their pistols in the air, and made his last mo
ments as heroic as possible.
If the infamous forgery and conspiracy
against the Democratic candidate for governor
in Ohio shall result in the defeat of the Windy
Foraker, all will agree that some good has
come out of the great wrong.
