Perhaps now he can make his motor work sufficiently to get him out of it. eee RANDY CHURCHILL ine dorses the invitation of Sackville-West out of this coun- try. It was a bit of election foolishness ; but the principle in- volved is right, and the daughter of Larry Jerome can never have too much to do with English politics. THAT PROCLAMATION of Thanksgiving by Grover is very nice: but, reading it at this moment, it doesn’t seem to be as heartfelt and spontaneous as the suggestions of the various governors. . N GOING to Europe Charles A. Dana did a good thing. . We had been apprehensive that he would go merely to sheol or Texas, and so be unable to leave his political malice and treachery behind. MB. BAYARD loses not only the premiership but the senatorship. There is nothing to the ship of state that gives him the power of a barnacle, It is so strange! The Republicans have carried Delaware and the Dutch kave been beaten out of Holland. THE TIME FOR TURKEY. THE DAYS are shortening. ‘There are dark skies.

The trees have lost their foliage and the gardens are without bloom. Presently we shall shut ourselves in the snow, and directly there will be a renewal of the story of the school-ma’am who tied herself to her scholars and led them through the blizzard to light and warmth and safety. It is a great country. There is a great deal of weather in it. Let us give thanks that we do not have to live somewhere else. CHEERS FOR DAVID! T LOOKS very much as if D. B. Hill would be the Democratic candi- date in 1892; but he is a patriot nevertheless, for he says the Democ- racy must present the same issue in 1892 that beat Mr. Cleveland in 1888, That, of course, means a second term for Harrison, and therefore David Bennett is a great and good and a most unselfish man. LET US REJOICE. THiS HAS BEEN a good year. ‘There have been large crops and.a great Republican victory. If there is any man who doesn’t enjoy his turkey it is probably because he has hooked the bird and his conscience injures his digestion. Pray heaven thers is no such man; and yet if the birds might speak from the fowl sarcophagus there might be revelations. THE LARGER VIEW OF DESTINY. T IS WELL perhaps, now that the battle is ended and the mound is rounded over the political dead, to weigh the import of the Republi- can success. It is fortunate for the American people that the semi-superstition and delusion that any man on this continent is a man of destiny is broken. ‘The battalions that supported the ambition of Napoleon are not recruitable in this country, and cannot even be marshaled or directed by any executive in political array. ‘There is no di tiny without deeds. Public opin- ion shifts and shapes itself for itself, and the victory of a think- ing people is greater than any military one ever won. ‘There has nevertheless been running a thread of credulity through this campaign that, with or without merit, the swift and unaccountable fortune of the suc- cessive elections of Mr. Cle was one not shaped by ordinary or usual forces, It was as if a comet without prediction sud- denly blazed with fascinating | tre in the political sky. All eyes turned to the unushered visitor, and while some augured it as of doubtful portent, idealists and sky-gazers greeted it as another Bethlehem star proclaiming the advent of new political salvation. Inexorable telescopic scru- tiny, however, dissipating both dread and dream, showed this erratic visitor to be but a vapor of glory, and its seemingly solid disk as an unsubstantial, gilded summer cloud, Neither time, distance of survey, nor frigidity of historic criticism i needed to analyze the motives or methods of past or proposed. Democratic success. A great party had administered public affairs for a quarter of a century. The seats of authority were filled by its friends. The com- mencement and closing of the greatest of civil conflicts that reunited repel- lent states into a consolidated republic; the policy of industrial protection that filled the flattened veins of an exhausted people ; the skill that knitted the land with railroads, tying part to part without bondage; the wisdom that changed the rotten threads of an unsafe financial system into a web of honesty and strength, these, and more than these, were the inspiration of this party and the resultant work of its hands. Against all this what cry could be raised? It must be remembered that envy always hates, and, however magnanimous the victor, the conquered never forgives. So northward with a sneer, and southward with a yell, arose the demand to “turn the rascals out.” Echoes were multiplied and construed into acry, and the accusation that the political structure was rotten from base to apex was at last largely believed. The mob never investiga. »; the mob had it. The occasional flaw of personal venality was deemed a sample of the whole.
