To-morrow it promises to be colder with rain followed by clearing condition. a 4 Welcome the New Era. No denial has been made at any time that gold has been boarded during the past two months. Even wise men who knew that the election could have no other result than the negation of the destructive propositions of the Chicago platform, yielded to the natural dread of the one chance in a million, and in- sured themselves to a greater or less degree aginst loss, while they could. The rapid importation of the metal against which the powers of disorder were warring was not an evidence of confidence; rather of anxiety. To-day there is no anxiety. What- ever inroads dishonesty may make upon the actual majority of Republican can. didates in the Electoral College, the counting out will be confined to States not in the least degree essential to the wholesome result. Major McKinley will enter the White House vaizh such a majority of both the electoral and pop- ular vote at his back, and wizo so over- ~w‘helming a majority in the House, that there can be no excuse within rea- son for any lack of confidence in the future. ' ' Nor need the most doubting heart re- fuse to lhrob with the excitement of the coming prosperity. The millions that have been withheld from legiti- mate enterprise by the menace of dis- honesty and disorder will jostle each other in themes for investment. The thousanddays of idleness and distress are past. Competition for the labor of the millions who toil has already set in. A full day’s work and honest dollars to pay for it are now guaranteed to all. We are on the threshold of the happiest period in the history of our happy country. ‘And With the new era the ghosts of anarchy and discontent, sprung from the gloom of enforced idleness, will vanish, never again, let us hop", t) return to plague us. 0. Congress Republican Also. There is now no fear of either free silver or blockade of remedial legisla- tion, for all the obstructions in the way of prosperity have been removed. Maj ir McKinley, Standing on a plat~ form that pledges him to sound money, the repair of the tariff laws that have failed t.) meet the requirements of the country, and the economic policy that has stood the test of experience, has been elected by a popular and electoral majority that implies the most absolute .. confidence of the American people in his integrity and ability. The same forces that have designated him to be the head of the Administra- tion have sent to the House of Rome aentalives an overwhelming majority of his own party in full sympathy with his ideas. The House will be made up of 2.33 Republicans, 114 Democrats and 15 Populists. As regards the main question of finance, Mr. McKinley as champion of sound money and protec- tion will have the support of 223 mem- bersof Congress and the opposition of 128. 'l' l the Senate the retire nent of Sen. etc '23 Cameron, Voorhees, Blackburn, » l’stl‘ er and K7le, and the election of 'aouul m ”165‘ Senators to succeed them, will give the cause of honesty at majori- ty ii. the upper house. With this complete revusal of the situation there is now no reason why the country should not settle calmly- down to the inquiries of repairing all the injury and wrong that it has sul- fered since the fl .vod tide of prosperity in 1802 H- TERSE PROVERBS.

A Saco ‘Woman's Offering to the Rescuer of Her Son. “During the twenty years I have been coasting between Maine and the Delaware Breakwater,” said Captain tellatty of the American schooner Leonora, “it has been my privilege to save a number of persons from drowning._ “I have never sought any other re- ward than the approval of my own Tonscieucc for what was common hu- manity, but once I was forced to ac- ‘ cept compensation for saving a life. “I succeeded after a great deal of difficulty in pulling a small boy out of the harbor at Saco, Me., several years ago. The boy was the son of a widow who kept a. peanut stand. I took home the kid, who was as wet as a seal. “I explained to the widow how her son ina few seconds more would have been drowned. She Was a woman who looked at things in a. practical light, and wasted no time in the dis- play of unnecessary emotion. “Oh, sir,” she said, “he’s but a. wild, liar-um scarum broth of a boy, with- out much sense but to min away every blessed day. I promise you that I’ll warm his jacket well when you go. You have been that obliging, sir, to bring the boy home just when I need- ed him to chop the wood that I must reward you.’ “The widow then preSsed me to ac- \ cept a handful of peanuts from her ' stock. I took the peanuts to save the good woman’s feelings, and left her cottage, from which before I had gone far I heard wails of anguish as a slip- per vigorously wielded warmed the bedraggled boy into a condition of in- tense muscular contortion.” The Dog Aided the Hen. As the story goes, the mistress of the dog is also a. keeper of hens. One of these was setting upon a. “clutch" of thirteen eggs, and Don, the black- nnd-tan, soon became very curious to know why she stayed in the barn so closely. The dog, as it appears, had former- lv been given to teasing the hen, snatching her food away from her, and otherwise making himself a tor- ment; but this intercourse had grad- ually turned into friendship, and the two would sometimes be seen lying and squatting side by side in the sun, on a bit of carpet in the back porch. During the three weeks that the hen sat on her eggs Don used to pay daily visits to the barn, and some- times he would stay with her by the half hour. , ; Then the chickscame out of their shells. Don was intensely interested. All day long he scarcely left'the barn. The next morning when the hen stepped off the nest, and with a clock called her brood after her, Don fol- lowed. ' The hen fell to scratching, and the fluffy chicks darted hither , and thither, picking up the tidbits Which the mother had uncovered. "Good.” said Don to himself. “I can help in this business,” and to the terror of the chickens he ran in among them and began turning up the soil at a lively rate. Then he sat down and waited. The mother hen called back the and soon they picked it clean. Then the dog took another turn. And so the good work proceeded, to the great delight of all parties.
