SHY. 10. 1892. TW EL VET AGES MB, CLEVELAND'S TASK. Already, before the ink is dry upon the returns, the mind of the public directs Itself to the question, What use will the Democrats make of their signal victory? It must be remembered that a dcfinito programme has yet to be broached. They have united in condemning the McKinley bill, but they have not attempted to agree upon a substitute. As the facts go, there are two wings to the Democracy upon the tariff question; and though these wings "flopped together," for ihe sake of success, during the strug gle against the Republicans, there is an equal certainty that they will divide when called to constructive lunctions. One wing is represented by the out-and-out free-traders thosf who want the same sort and no more of a tariff than Great. Britain has. In this class belong Watter son, Carlisle, the college professors, the Xew Tcrk World, the Xew York Evening Post and the 2few York Timet, as well as the average Southern Democrat To this influence was owing the radical utterances of the Chicago 'platform and the distinctly avowed antagonism therein to every pro tected industry. But it is timely to recall that there is another clement among the Democratic leaders, which, while overruled at Chicago by those who would make an end of pro tection root and branch, is still influential and formidable. The ablest exponent of the conservative school of Democrats is the 2few York Sun, which not only re fuses to go into warfare upon protection this fall, but can be relied upon In the future, as in the past, to stand up firmly for American industrial interests. Sena tor Hill, while extremely hazy in Ins pro fessed conceptions of the tariff, neverthe less repudiates expressly the suggestion that he is a free-trader. The'personal fol lowing of Samuel J. Randall, moderate protectionist, is, also, not wholly extinct. But the main reliance against dangerous legislation by the free-trade wing of the Democratic majority in Congress must, Piter all, be Mr. C.eveland himself. While committed to what lie terms "tariff re form" he lias ventured a specific promise that he will not sanction legislation to injure American industries. It will of course remain for the sequence of events to show what legislation the free-trade theorists and visionaries have in view, as well as w hat Mr. Cleveland's pledge to suffer no injury to American in dustries precisely takes in. But, as the situation stands, it is now upon the President-elect and the other conservatives in the Democratic party that the public will have to depend to put "down brakes" upon the doctrinaires who have been mak ing the platform declarations of the Democracy, and to confine these fatuous radicals to the domain of rhetoric rather than legislative action. In proportion as Mr. Cleveland's strong personality may succeed or fail in this, so shall the success or deficiency of his administration be marked. He has a difficult task before him; for the extremists will quickly beset him with their schemes. It remains to be seen whether he can hold that dangerous and destructive element in check. OHIO'S POSSIBLE CLEHAX. From latest returns it is evident that, if the Democratic party have not actually secured the electoral ticket, President Harrison's plurality of nearly 20,000 in Ohio four years ago has been brought painfully near to the vanishing point. This tremendous slump in the State which elected Governor McXInley by a majority of about 21,000 only last year makes the culmination of a remarkable campaign leading up to a sensational election. That Mr. Cleveland should have been elected at all is surprising to those imbued with a belief in the benefits of protection. That he should have swept the country as he did is at the same time a tremendous tribute to the strength of his popular per sonality, and an indication of a wide spread desire for change. Xew York's big majority, the change of front in Illinois, the revulsion of feeling in Cali fornia and the loss of the President's own State are all highly significant. But Ohio's recreancy caps the climax. A. STUDENT'S USEFULNESS. A Harvard student has recently won fame by rescuing the inhabitants of a building from burning to death. He was passing along the street at 1 o'clock in the morning, saw the fire, rushed into tne building and drove the inmates to the street, finally emerging himself by way of a beer sign on the front of the building to which he clung till the firemen came along with ladders and took him down. This is a very creditpble proceeding for anyone, whether Harvard student or otherwise; but it reveals one new feature. A cotemporary casts doubt upon the story because the fire took place at 1 o'clock in the morning. Harvard students being obliged by rule to be in their rooms at 10 o'clock, our cotemporary's conclu sion is very positive that the rescuer in this case could not have been a Harvard student. The idea fails to take into account the new regime in collegiate life. The rule that students must be in their rooms at fixed hours applied when students were expected to get up lessons. To the dis ciple of athletic culture such restrictions do not have any pertinence. This preserver of human life was clearly of the athletic class, and he made a gallant demonstra tion of his right to be on the streets in the small hours It is very satisfactory to note this evi dence that the athletic description of col lege student oan be made of distinct utility.

The effect of the landslide is to give the executive branch of the government to Mr. Cleveland by an electoral majority so large as to make the Democratic methods of grabbing electors m Michigan and the fusion schemes wholly supererogatory. The Democrats also have the House by a majority slightly reduced as compared with the present House, but still so largo as to be cumbrous The sole remaining Republican refuge, the Senate, is placed bv the additional returns in the doubtful category. There is little question that Democratic Senators will take the place of B-publi-cans in New York and "Wisconsin. Kansas, Nebraska and Nevada may send Third party Senators to co-operate with Kyle and Peffer. It may be doubtful whether the Republicans will have one Senator more or one Senator less than the Demo crats; but It is certain that the People's party Senators will hold the balance of potter in that body. This may have some very singular re sults on Democratic legislation. It is clear that the Democrats cannot under ordinary circumstances enact any str.ctly party measure without the votes of the People's party Senators. Is anything more likely than that these very import ant votes, recognizing their power, will serve notice on the Democratic House and Democratic executive that the strictly Democratic measures cannot pass the Sen ate until some of the favorite People's party schemes have been enacted? Such a course might not exhibit the highest sort of principles; but it is the sort of politics in which the old parties have indulged and the possibility of that class of log rolling is heightened by the alliances which the Democratic party has already made. It will be a year and a half at least be fore the country has a chance to know how much of the People's party medicine the Democratic party will swallow for the sake of getting their own measures passed. But when it is settled it would not bo strange if we should see some very novel measures as a result of the position of the Third party Senators. THE CANAL ISSUE. The importance of the Erie Canal to New York is shown by the Buffalo con vention of a few weeks ago, and may per haps have been reflected in the vote of the State north of the Harlem. The Buffalo convention pertinently called attention to the great canal works being constructed in Europe and to the magnificent trcfflc of the Sault Ste. Mario and St. Clair Canals in this country. It therefore urged on the people of New York the election of legislators favorable to giving the canal the improvements it needs to keep in the front rank as a commercial factor. The Buffalo convention need not have appealed to other canal works to demon strate the importance of internal water ways. The Erie Canal itself furnishes the best evidence of its right to exist Limited and crippled as it is, it still main tains a cheapness in the transportation of large masses of bulky freights which the railways cannot rival. If railway facili ties had stocd still for the past thirty years with no more improvement than the Erio Canal has had the railways could not be counted as a factor against the canals. But, by suppressing all propositions to im prove the canal in the New York Legisla ture, the canal has been kept to the narrow facilities designed for the commerce of half a century ago. It is hoped that the continuance of the policy may yet extin guish this last of the old canals and thus check the popular demand for improved internal waterways. It is difficult to avoid the recognition of the same influence in the fact that the political conventions of both parties this year indorsed the loan of 5100,000,000 of Government credit to an inter-oceanic canal over a thousand miles away from United States territory, while propositions for a much less costly encouragement to the internal waterways which will do the people a hundred-fold more good are treated with scant considerations. Cor porate influence is undoubtedly inimical to the development of a comprehensive sjstem of canals connecting the rivers with the lakes and the lakes with the ocean. This is very short-sighted, as it is becoming more apparent that the proper functions of the canals and railways are entirely separate. Every year brings its evidence that rail way facilities are inadequate to the lull transportation of the immense masses of freight which this country is capable of turnjng out. Every year repeats its lesson in the freight blockades and car famines, which show that the rallwais are unable to perform the full work they have under taken. Yet the production of the coun try is but a fraction of what it would be if cheap and reliable water transportation were opened from the headwaters of the Missouri and Mississippi to the ocean. Under such a development the transpor tation of the higher classes of freights to which the canals are unsuitable would jield the railways constant and profirable traffic, while the waterways would trails port the large masses of cheap freights at prices which would relieve the railways of their burden. However the policy of improved water ways may be hampered by corporate greed and jealousy, it is bound to succeed. It will soon come to be recognized as a case of the public interest versus the railways. It would be wise on the part of the latter to acquiesce gracefully in the policy of improvement before the issue rakes that unpleasant form. A DELAWARE HEFOKBL A vigorous clergyman of the Methodist denomination in Delaware made the laud able declaration on Sunday that he would expel from the church any member con tributing money to purchase a vote. This decided stand is made by the New York Evening Sun the text for recounting cer tain prominent Republicans who would be cut off from religious privileges by its universal enforcement It is possible that the rule would cut off from church communion a number of eminent men both Republicans and Demo crats; but the esteemed Evening Sun failed to catch the most immediate result of the earnest pastor's action. Can anything but the relation of cause and effect be given to the temporary rift in the clouds for the Republicans on Tuesday night caused by the doubt whether Delaware had not given its three electoral votes to Har rison? Apart from that it remains to applaud the very decided stand of the Delaware pastor. If all the churches would take the same position it would have a very good effect, even if the expelled members should turn out to be among the principal contributors to the support of the church. The money market was unaffected by Mr. Cleveland'! eleatlon, and tha only noticeable .THE' .PITTSBURG feature on the stock markets yesterday was a slight fall In trusts. This is a good niuury that the financiers bollevo that the Fresl- ments. But there is none the less a serious risk that pre-election exigencies may- make it impossible lor the man to control his party, even if he have every Inclination to do so. THE Duke of Marlborough's death re lieves tho British aristocracy of a man whoso recoid was a dIs;rraco to decency, to say nothinz of nobility. Allegheny is to have all sorts of good things, provided only that the city insists upon trustworthiness and ability in the public servants through whoso hands its funds must pass. The magnitude of tho ma jority in favor of the bond issue Indicates a goneral recognition of the necossity for im provement, and that recognition shonlQ be extended to hnman agencies no less than material surroundings. And now what is to become of Minister Egnn on the one hand and ex-Attorney General Wayne MacVeagh on the other? Yesterday's meeting at the Chamberof Commerce commenood the hearing of evi dence on freight discrimination. The com mittee is to meet asain on Friday for further hearings. All with information and faots at their disposal should bo on hand with tho same. .niirt a stron-r united movoment against the evils should bo so organized as to be irresistible. 6now and election returns both together weio entliely too much for the equanimity of Eastern electric wiies last night. Chairman Carter should learn that there is a limit beyond which perseverance ceases to bo a virtue. If he be really un able to read tho signs of the times himself, some personal friends should interfere to save him from his ignoranoe and convince him that admissions of defeat ato now in order or oveidue. Mr. Looking Backward has been proDhetlcaUy heard Lieutenant Totten has the call. Bellamy from, and No doubt Uncle Jerry Rusk is feeling the dereat of his party very keenly. But he should make some show of attention to business. Pennsylvania is all right, and Pennsylvania asked for rain, not snow. This is not the bo-rsort of weather that Mr. Rusk could give us if he really tried hard. Ex-Govebnoe Campbell made a happy hit when hu said to the Culcugo Convention: "Keep your eye on Ohio."

The man with political muscle enough to break the solid South is still an undiscovered marvel. An inventive Chieagoan claims that he can produce excellent black paint from skimmed milk. And yet they are supposed to be doing quite a good deal of smoke con sumption in the Windy City. After a while, no doubt, conversational intercourse will become less monotonous. It would be a pleasing variation to hear the electoral result described occasionally ns a seismic wave or something less time worn than a landelide. FOIjK talked aboot.

Some Inferior Material Discovered by the United States Inspectors. Philadelphia, Nov. 9. An inferior quality cf iron manufactured at Wilmington, Del., for the new United States customs steamer Hudson, for New York service, has been dis covered at John Dialogue's shipyard, Cam den, N. J., by the United States inspectors, and condemned as unfit for Government use. It was originally Intended that the Hudson should be constructed of steel, but the plans were changed at toe instance of the Treasury Department officials, and iron was ordered from Wilmington for her construction. A large amount of the metal had accumulated in the yard, and it was supposed to be of the standard test, but when l eady to be riveted to tho frames the inspectors rejected it. Upon closer inspec tion a large amount or the same quality was found in the yard, which was also promptly rejected. Tho builders of the vessel pur chased the iron for tho best produced in the market, but all of it is tested before being used. Chicago a la Boston! enne.

Washington Post: To Mr. Cleveland upon his success the Post extends its sincorest congratulations. Tne wisdom of his nomin ation from a Democratic standpoint Is tri umphantly vindicated. Ho was nominated in the face or an adverse delegation from his own State. He is eleoted with the party in New York never befoie so harmoniously organized, and bis 'bittoiest opponents of six months ago lendering him effective and loyal support. He jiill doubtless give tho country a clean, abij? and honest adminis tration, lie will leturn to the Chier Magis tracy with a prnctical experience of its duties and obligations that will stand him in good stead and give so much the greater assurance of his acceptability and useful ness to the people who have so conspicu ously Honored lain with their commence. New York 7Vi&ine.- It is needless to say that tho tesult will be a great disappoint ment to Itepublicans. Chicago Inter Ocean: The American peo ple have turned their backs on progress and given their adhesion to the anti-American ideas so popular across the Atlantic in a manner we thought them incapable of. At tho time of this writing it looks as if Grover Cleveland had been elected to again preside in the White Ilouso tor lour years irom tho 4th of March next. New York Ilerald: tlon have spoken. English chean labor. Trie people of thena Their verdict 1st No St. Louis Republic: Only one word in the language is at all adequate to describo the magnitude of rtbo Domocrntic victory yes terday. It is revolution. The same word suggests itselr now as the only one that can do Justice to the result of yesterday's elec tion. Thediffeienceis that the vlotory of 1890 was tho Saiatoga of the revolution, while this now and moro decisive victory is its Yorktown. Wo have not merely won a victory! we have ended tho war. The party ot war taxes in time of peace, or foice bill methods at the polls, of bartered legislation and corrupted voters is crushed. It will soon beoome only a putrid reminiscence. Tho victory won vosterd&y was a national one. Yesterday's work means pence, pros peiity and a restotod and commented union to all States. Philadelphia Re-ord: This result is no mere triumph ot. party or of section. The people of every geogiaphical division of the country havo shared in the victory of tariff refoim and the poople or the whole country will participate in its beneficient Irnits. Baltimore American: Tho evils which might na tm ally flow from the election of Mr. Cleveland will be to a great extent pre vented by the exhaustive campaign through which the conntry has passed. It was an educational campaign, and not the least among its advantages has been the enlight enment of Democratic leaders and states men concerning the effect of their more radical pledges if carrieu out as ptomNed at Chicago. It is lairly ceitam now that Demo crats In authority, including Mr. Clevoland, have no notion of carrying into effect the decimation that a protective tariff is un constitutional and a iraud. Both Mr. Clove land and the orators who spoke lor him dur ing the campaign modified, if thov dldnot altogether lepndiate, this declaration. Philadelphia Timet: The victors will have no rudo huzzuhs to fling into tho face ot so honored and honest a President as Benjamin Harrison; but the considerate of all parties will rejoice that a Democratic victor3- has called so able, upright and patriotic n man as Grover Cleveland to the Presidency. New York Woild: The next President will be a Democrat. Glover Cleveland is elected. The people have triumphed over the pluto cracy. Men are stronger than money. The "hidden and abhorrent forces" of corruption have not pievailedover theintelligence and virtue of the voturs. The overtaxed, in sulted, defied people have ris-n in their might and ovei whelmed the Republican paity. The Democratic party displayed the courage ot its convictions in its nomination lor President. Chicago JVeua Record: If the party is to survive it will bave to choose new leaders andieturn to its older and better faith. Mc Kiuleyistn Is dead. New York Times: It is with no undue ex ultation over a fallen foe.$hat we legard the result, but with profoundVgratitude that the American people has ohosen so wisely and so Justly, and with firm confidence in the futuie. Tho Republican organization has suffered a crushing defeat and deserved it. The Republican party remains with tho great body of voters us honest and as de voted to the best lnteiests of the conntry as they have ever been. If the party is again to be a controlling force in the Republic it can only be under the better leadership of better leaders toward better ends. Chicago Tribune: The Republicans have been defeated In the national contest, but they have made the best' fight they knew how. They have done nothing which they are ashamed of. They have leftnothlng un done which could be done honorably. Woie they to fight the battle over again they would adopt neither new policies nor new methods. Dekver li'ewr. Colorado has voted for Weaver and Field by a large majority, and elected the entire free coinage Democratic and People's ticket by a majority that will be little less than that given for Weaver. It also elects Penco to Congress in the First district and Belle in tho Second, both Popu lists, and fieo coinage nominees. The State Legislature will also undoubtedly be Popu list by a decided majority. All hail to the Deople of Coloiado. They have lought a splendid fight and won a magnificent vic tory. Kaxsas City Journal: Confidentially speaking, this wildcat Democracy seems to bave walloped us. The country has refused to indorse one of the soundest and best ad ministrations it ever had. Saw Fbascisco Chronicle: The people of the United Statos have declared in favor of the Democratic candidates and.presumably, of Democratic principles, and so the United States is to have an era of fiee trade for at least two years and possibly four. All good citizens, no matter how much they may de plore the result will bow to the popular ver dict: but we venture to make this piedlc tion, that if this country shall have four years of free trade, or of tariff for revenuo only, there will not be another Democratic victory for half a century. Baltimore Sun: The vote yesterday, and not more significantly at the South than at the North and West, nowhere more strik ingly than in New York City indicates the abhorrenco with which the American peo ple view any resort to brnte force as a 'means of carrying elections and controlling tho expression of tho people's wilL The rebnke whloh the people Have administered to this method of carrying elections is po tent and unmistakable. In this cam rial n a righteous issue had a worthy exponent. The campaign of education has brought about the expected result. Cleveland Leader: If the newadmlnistra tion moves upon Republican lines industry will continue to thrive. Should the princi ples upon whioh Mr. Cleveland has been' elected be put into exocutlon disaster will be Inevitable, and the Demociacy will be relegated to a long period of obscurity. Ciscinn ati Commercial Gaze'le: Not a few Republicans who are strong in their convic tions and party loyalty favor tai iff reform not the false pretenses of Mr.Cleveland but gonuine reform of the tariff laws from timo to time as they appear to need it. They in dorsed tne McKinley tariff bill as a whole, but would have been glad to see some of its parts modified. They claim that a less rad ical, though no less wise beneficent measure, might have been adopted which would have met with less popular objection. St. Paul Globe: The American people can always be trusted to correct abuses in its Government. Portland Oreonion.- The country has decreed a change of fiscal and Industrial policy in the most prosperous time it has ever known. This is largely the resnlt ot the immense foreign votointhegreat cities. The labor vote, largely foreign, Ignorant of the extent of its prosperity, has been mis used by demagogues and has revolted against tbe best conditions it has ever known. Its mistake will be seen when the prosperity on which labor has thriven as never Defore receives an Inevitable shock through legislation bated on the platform NOVEMBER 10, 1892. on which Cleveland Is elected. The Populist craze is based on tho same errors. The election or yesterday will bo the beginning of a period of Industrial stagnation, Philadelphia Horth American: Whatever mnv be the decision of this great Fresl dentil contest that will be recsrded by the oiliclal figures, there rests with the Ameri can people the singlo duty of accepting it with a patriotic suppression of personal disappointment. YITISECflON DI8C0YERIES. What Live Beasts Tench as to Our Diseases and Our Systems. Deprecating the violence of controversy between vivisectionists and those who, like Miss Cobbe, have been agitating against experiments on live beasts, tho London Times says: "At one point, however, the position of the antl-vivisectionists is assailable by reason ing. They deny broadly that 'experimenta tions on living animals' has contributed to enlaige tho domain of medical science or to Increase man's power of grappling with pain and disease. We think it is to be regretted that Sir Andrew Clark, Sir James Paget, Sir George Humphrey and Dr. Wilks should have committed themselves to a statement that no good conld come of a discussion on this subjeot in tho newspapers. Men of science who take up an attitude of lofty disdain toward popular agitations, and re fuse even to show the futility of the asser tions of the agitators, may somo day find themselves unexpectedly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of tho sentimentalists. "The subject is a highly technical one. and the weight of the argument in its en tirety can only be appreciated by trained minds oompetent to draw Inferences from large numbers of individually inconspicu ous facts. Still, it cannot be useless to bring before the public a fow characteristic in stances in which vivisection has been of priceless service in extending the limits of medical science and in perfecting tbe prac tice both of medicine and surgery. "Piesented lit an absolutely dispassionate manner, and as far as possible in plain and non-technical language, facts go far to establish the contention of Dr. Lanaer Brunton that 'almost all our exact knowl edge of the action of drugs on the various organs of the body, as well as of the physi ological functions of those organs, lias been obtained by experiments on animals.' Har vey's discovery of the circulatiou of the blood, the very foundation stone of onr ex isting knonledgo of physiology, was based on such experiments. So were Bell's inves tigations into the nervous system, which opened up now regions of science and prao tlce, and, carried forward from point to Soint according to the same methods by all, Hitzig, Ferrler and others, have already been of immonse benefit to mad kind. "The diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, again, which would bave been wholly impossible but for Harvey's dis covery, were placed on their present foun dations by the experiments ot nope. Hun ter's treatment of aneurism, and Von Graere's treatment of glaucoma were worked out in the same way. The action of tho most powerful and dangerous drugs has been ascertained bv Tjemotual oxDeriment- alizing on living animals, while there is hardly a conceivable limit to tbe advance that mar be made by these means in the newly developed regions of 'bacteriology.' With all this it must bo remembered that vivisection in this country is carefully In deed, we may say, severely regulated by law. Is so powerful an instrument for good, guarded so strictly against abuse, to be abandoned in deterence to the unreasoning fanaticism of the agitation that has pro duced the 'Nine Circles' as its contribution to enlightened scientific controversy!" LONG AHEBICAH BIDES. Buffalo Bill Describes Feats of Our Cav alry That Discount the Germans. Pall Mall Budget.: "In 1879 General Morritt rode with a de tachment of the Fifth Cavalry to the relief of Payne, and covered 170 miles in two days and a half, being accompanied by an in fantry battalion in wagons which much re tarded the march. Single couriers had rid den over the same ground in 21 hours. On the same occaion a troop of tho Fourth Cavalry did 70 miles in 12 hours, and it must be remembered that, unlike the riders be tween Berlin and Vienna, these American horsemen carried with them their ammuni tion, arms nnd henvy packs. Again, in 1870, lour troopers of the First Cavalry marched no miles over a very bad, waterless road In 22 hours. Including three and a half houra of stoppage for l est, while in 1880 Lieutenant Robertson, First Cavalry, took 23 hours to cover 102 miles over a very snowy and heavy track. "And then, two, I suppose you must have heard of General Guy Henry's regiment of mounted negtoes, which in 1390 marched 100 miles in the nighr, fought an action at day light, then rushed to the relief of our Seventh Cavalry, and returned over the same ground nfter.two days' continuous saddle work, aud not a single soie back among all their mounts. Morgan's Corp, in 1S61, rode 300 miles into Kentucky In eight days, with all their baggage wagons uud other impedi ments, and the men in as fresh and nigh spirits at the end as the beginning. On other occasions Morgan, with his riding horsemen, covered mote than 90 miles in 35 hours, while Stuait's troopers rode from Chambersburg to Leesbui g, some 90 miles in 38 hours. 'Your European cavalry will not amount to much until it is refashioned in the Ameri can mode), and until above all things it dis cards the lance saber in favor of the carbine and the revolver. The ride between Vienna and Berlin crnel to the horses? you ask. Well. 1 guess it is, but the practical results may be gi eat all tho same. Of course tbe strain on the horses in such a ride is tre mendous, but the strain on the riders is still greater." ECHOES FKOJI THE ELECTION.

This new substance has been named cocoa cellulose, and is a product of the outer fabric of the cocoanut, fiber and shell, treated scientifically, which produces an arti cle which lenders an ironclad almost im pervious to tho influx of water if struck by a shot Horn an antagonist. Tbe cellulose, upon contact with water, immediately ex pands and clcsos tho orifice made by the shot. The discovery was made bv French scien tists and sold to the United States two years ago, A recent experiment made by the Government, wtien a two men uau was driven through a plate representing the outer shell of the Charleston, lor instance, backed by two foct or cotoa cellulose, and into a tank ot water, showed that not a sin gle drop of molstnre escaped. The hole made bv the ball was instantly and auto matically closed by the expansion of tho cellulose from contact with the water.
