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.
There has been room for doubt as to

THE BALANCE IN THE SENATE.
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.

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.

DISPATCH, THURSDAY,
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
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

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.

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.

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!"

"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."

THE COLLEGE WALTZ.
A New Banco That May Keep Society on
the Move This Season Invitations to a
Philadelphia Wedding Receptions and
Teas A Church Opening.
Every season there are some new idea
in dancing that catch the popular fancy at
once. This year wo have the "College
Walk," and the "Dcux-temps." Every ono
knows that "Dcux-temps" was the original
waltz of hair a century ago, or thereabouts,
but it has come forward now as sometnlng
entirely new, with a few ordinal character
istics added. It is danced in polka tune, but
consists of two very long slide steps, in tegu
lar polka movement. This sounds rather
difficult, and probably is, although the pro
fessors who teach it declare that it is as
easy as it is gracorul. The "College Walk"
is nothing more than a waltz-, in which the
gentleman walks every third or fourth
measure, while the lady continues to waltz.
These dances may become popular in Pitts
burg, as they have in the East, but it is
doubtful, for the dancers in this city do not
take kindly to innovations till they have
been well tried.

Cocoa Fiber Blankets Which Close Up an
Orifice Made by an Enemy's Shot.
San Francisco, Nov. 9 The manufacture
or a new substance, if nil that is anticipated
of its application in defensive naval war
fare is attained, will add largely to the
effectiveness of the new vessels about to be
added to the navy of tho "United State3.
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.
No vessels have as yet been fitted with
this defense, owing to the lact that none
have been completed since the time when
the United States Government secured pos
session of the right to its ne.
'Ihe Olvmpia will be the first one to bo
fitted for the application, and important
modifications havo beon made In tho origi
nal plan of tho vessel. Around tho entire
circumicrcnce of the Olympin, and restlmr
on the inclined protective deck, a tank, 219
feot by 8 feet in height, isbring constructed,
into which the cellulose will bo comprcssoil.
This will bring the blanket about one-half
below and above the water-line, and protect
the most vulnerable parts of the yussel.
