Whitney's messenger had been around the hotel from early in the eve ning. He was non-committal as to whether Whitney was up-stairs. He said, however, that he had been with the Ex-President since 2 o'clock. There were six distinguished Demo erats who sat down to dinner at 7.45 o'clock to what all orthodoc Demo crats hoped would be a love feast. One of the latest arrivals at dinner wasWil son Russell, of Buffalo,Cleveland's old time law partner. He reached the hotel at 9.05 and proceeded at once to the dining hall. Senator Brice sent up b's card and received a reply that Cleveland was at dinner-and .hat the card would be pre sented in a few minutes. He did not wait. He said, however, that he did not attach any special significance to the dinner. "Of course," he added,"where big fish splash in the water there will always be more or less ripple. I see, however, no cause at the pr.sebt tim for any fireworks." Those present at the dinner were Cleveland, Richard Croker, Lieuten ant Governor Sheehan, Edward Mur phy, Jr., Don M. Dickinson and Wm C. Whitney. A still later arrival wa Richard W. Gilder. Dinner was not concluded until 11.31 o'clock. Whitney said they had very pleasant dinner, and that Cleve land and all were well pleased wit] the outlook. From all that could be gathered frot various sources the result of the con ference that lasted until midnight'rw that a treaty of peace was signed bE tween the two factions of the Der 'ocracy in the State and it is sal that Senator Hill and his represent tives have been placated and the Sei ator will speak in the coming can paign.

A Ri Five State Tickets Now in the Field and ce Another to be Nomiaated. [New York World.] Texas is in the throes of the most t exciting political campaign in all ta cl her history, not excepting the one e following the Davis carpet-bag re- c giue or the well remembered cam paign of 1867, when prohibition was the foremost issue and so many d old-time Texans were unable to tell "where they were at." There are now five complete State tinkets in the field-two Democrats, each claiming to be regular, a people's party ticket, a prohibition ticket and a ticket known as the Lily White, rep-0 resenting, when it was put in the field, the majority of the white Republicans of Texas, who think it is not in good form for them to be subject to the iron clad orders of a negro boss. On the 12th instant another State convention will be held-that of the regular Repub licans, whose organization is controlled by Boss Cuney, colored, who is Mr. Harrison's distributor of patronage in Texas, and who cast the thirty votes at Minneapolis for Mr. Harrison that practically secured his nomination. 3 The Democratic row in Texas is purely a family affair in which the 3 World does not take sides as far as the I State issues involved are concerned, and it is good to know from excellent authority that it will not have the effect of reducing the Democratic pres idential vote, as both Clark and Hogg men are to a man zealous and true sup s porters of the national ticket. It is '- quite likely, in fact, that the bitter con - test between these two factions will d serve a good purpose so far as the - national ticket is concerned, in that - it will draw to the polls every straight democrat in the State entitled to vote, t- and thus in large measure offset and ie very likely over-balance the vote here - tofore democratic that the people's party will secure. The lowest estimate of Cleveland's plurality that has been made by any man whose judgment is worth anything is 100,000, and that is of enough for all practical purposes. Much interest is taken in the action of the forthcoming straightout Repub lican convention. As before said, both Democratic factions are united in the at earnest support of Cleveland and Ste a venson, and no trades will be made or with Boss Cuney or any other leader of any party or faction that will be cal culated to cause the Democratic na tional ticket the loss of a single vote. .te But all Texas are interested in Cuney's n convention because of the bearing itt action will have on State politics Irt, The St. Louis Globe Democrat, whict nr. is really the organ of the Texas Repub n- licans, urges the convention to indorsc gro George Clark, one of the Democrati An -candidates for governor, while man! Texas Republicans favor the nomina tetion of a straightouit republican ticket eand others still, notably the negro poli ayticians, would prefer that Governc nd Hogg should be endorsed. ndBut it really matters little wha newspaper organs or individuals ma desire, because the long and short of: ' will be that this convention will simpJ registe rthe will of Boss Cuney andi ildowhatever in his judgment wl nK most tend to increase the bitterness ax widen the breach in the Democrat in-ks. iat a The outcome of the State election and problematical.

The Spirit of Iutolerace. LAbbeville Press and Banner.) There is abroad in the laud a spirit f Intolerance which is unprecedented this~eountry. As a rule the people of the country eem solidly arrayed against the peopli f the town, and especially againt ll persons who do no hold tc he political views of the majority o he people of this State. No matter what the merit of the in ividual, his merit, his ability and hi: rustworthiness goes for naught if hi does not pronouce the shibboleth, an no matter what his purposes or wha his claims may be, he is regarded as public enemy if he does not fall dow: and worship their idol. Although the National Bank of At beville has yearly loaned the farmer of this county sums of money abe equal to their capital stock, yet the e: istence of that institution is regarded a public calamity, and asa consequen the demand is made that its doors I closed. Although there is not a merchant i this town who has not aavanced to ti farmers money and goods far in ezce of his own estate, yet the merchan are regarded as public enemies deser ing of no consideration. Although hundreds of unfortuna debtors have been, in the past, ula to meet their bills and pay their he and mortgages, yet, as far as we kno not a single debtor has been pressed the wall by any merchant. On I contrary, the merchants of the difi ent towns have renewed the obligatic and "carried" the farmers in some stances, for years, thus inconvenienc themselves and imperilling their o credit and their own estates. Best this there is scarcely a merchant w has not loaned out his goods on insa cient security, trusting more to the h or and integrity of his customer ti to the security, and there is not a m chant in our acquaintance-who has had reason to regret such act in tri ing some individuals, yet, as a r those who have failed do pay their; and honest debts and sometimes n pronounced in their intolerance of f chants and bankers.

Holmes, is, so far as the collection an of statistics is concerned, nearly com pleted, and a great deal of the statisti cal work of the inquiry has been tabu lated. An examination and analysis of st the statistics already obtained and of the bulletins put out by the census office leads to and warrants some in teresting deductions and conclusions respecting the subject of home and farm ownership and mortgage encuni brance in this country. The labor in volved in this inquiry will never be comprehended outside of the census office itself. Many hundreds of special t agents have been employed in every county in the United States, hundreds e upon hundreds of clerks have been employed in the office and many mil lions of schedules and slips containing the returns have been received and n filed away. It has been found that during the ten years, 1880 to 1890, the real estate mortgages made in the Un inted States inumbered 9,000,000, but these are not all existing mortgages, it as has been erroneously stated. In re gard to every one of these mortgages a 5 report was obtained covering a variety 0 of particulars and in the aggregate re quiring an incalculable amount of labor. n It has also been ascertained for near ie ly all of the 12,690,152 families of the United States whether each one owned or hired the farm or home It occupies, v- and, if owned, whether it Is subject to encumbrance; and if so, report has been te received in a principal proportion of e cases as to the amount of encumbrance, the rate of interest borne by it, the reason why it was -incurred, and also o the value of the farm or home. There e are also many details of information in * regard to the head of each hiring s family. When tabulated this descrip in- tion will disclose, among other things, to what extent the colored people have become owners of farms and homes; h how far ownership is -invested in o wives; at what age ownership has more generally been acquired; whether the on- circumstances of unmarried persons are in such as to lead considerably to owner r ship; whether the Irish or Germans have been more successful in becoming st owners, and so with the Italians, the e, Swedes, etc.; whether the Germans have acquired a longer or shorter resi st dence in the country than the Irishman er- has before owning his farm or his home, and so with people of other nativities. The tabulation will disclose to what ap- extent the citizenship of the foreign for born is related to their ownership, and by establish a comparison, between the -sexes in the ownership of farms and: 1fhomes and the dependence of owner as ship upon the various occupations 01 asthe people. o- This is the richest field for statistics citof work in social scienee thai any governJ yed ment has ever before entered. It call for as much labor as was involved n tten any United States census prevliius ti try, that of 1850, and in this respect Is ne eely exceeded by any census previous t ity that of 1870. The units, for whic1 inst prescripti has been obtained,.area numerous that the printing of aboi Iof 70,000,000 blanks has been neessa by alof thm to behanded atlat a f they times and a large proportion of the: ena any times. wHighly interesting and unusual r htsults will come from this investigatic have in regard to the affairs -of the pe baewithin a domain never before entera yy to by the census office. There has bet lways much assumption that mortgage i 1l of debtedness is forced upon debtors, at ncon- that they have had a sort of Hobsol which choice with the terrors of the mortga will of as one alternative and some misfortu y to otherwise to be suffered as the oth< resent The census office investigated this uua- all parts of the country and enon those has already been published complete fareon to dispel these popular notions. Il m ay now demonstrated that the making nstnt a real estate mortgage is just as voli crre- tary an act in almost all cases asi those act of a man who begins a busin ries undertaking, the result depeno; bben chiefly upon his judgment and fc ns -we sight, as well as upon his equipm3 gle in- for success. Reference to the bullet of ny that have been issued by the en office shows that, generally speaki - from two-thirds to nine tenths ofi estate mortgage indebtedness was curred to secure the purchase mo: . rol of real estate and to pay for real es shaes improvements, the chief item of wi con onsists of new buildings.

Take the Y arvelous growth of Chicago, for in- t ince. From 1880 to 1889 the real tate mortgage debt incurred yearly Cook County, in which Chicago is tuated, increased about five times, itil in 1889 a mortgage debt of $86, 3,365 was incurred. The existing ortgage indebtedness in that county $161 per capita, while in the State of inois outside of Cook County it is r3. The increase in the population in iat county during the last decade was 19. per cent. against a general in rease of 24 86 for the whole country. t.

In this city the zisting debt per capita is $91, or not nore than half of what it is in Cook ounty, Illinois. Alumni of South Carolina College. The Alumni Association of the South Carolina College, at its last an aal meeting, commissioned the un ersigned committee to prepare an ad dress to the alumni. For nearly one hundred years the South Carolina College has been the educational centre of this State. Much that is grand, many glorious lives are recalled by its name. No village or hamlet in South Carolina, however ob scure, has been beyond its influence ; its graduates have done much to make the history of the State great and to keep it so ; around its past cling many tender memories.

[New York Tribune.1 A well-known physician of New 'ork city went into voluntary exile a esterday to remain for no one knows a ow long in the best hospitals at Swin- al urne Island. He is Dr. Byron, the m eientist and bacteriological expert and st ecturer at the Loomis laboratory. He c ias given up his large practice for the C ime being, and will remain on Swin- he urne island to fight the cholera. He P vill be forced to quarantine himself as fi trictly as any of the patients are quar- e Lntined, and he does not expect to set e oot on shore again till the danger is & ver. He made light of the risk he d was running and was not desirous of b 3aying much about his action, but be 0 acknowledged that it would involve a 8 financial sacrifice, as the salary paid ' him by the State would not nearly equal the income which he derives r from his regular practice. Dr. Byron went to quarantine at first only as a bacteriological expert to do anything except make examinations and micro- : scopical analyses. But he was request' ed to remain and take charge of the pest station at Swinburne Island, and he decided that it was his duty as a physician to accept the call. He, how ever, is inclined to take a favorable view of the situation and thinks that the trouble at quarantine will be over in probably five or six weeks. "Frost will kill the disease," he said, "but if it does not develop now and the proper sanitary precautions are not taken, and if the vigilance of the board of health of the city should be relaxed in the slightest degree, the cholera might break out in the spring and that would be a bad matter." "What result did your bacteriologi cal examination of the cholera dis charges from the Normannia and Ru gia have?" "Well I don't wish to say officially and positively, but I have no doubt whatever that the cases are those of true Asiatic cholera. The symptoms of the patients of the Normannia and Rugia are too violent for anything else, and they are those of cholera Asiatic. The term cholerine which has been used on the ships is a most elastic term. The word means a mild case of . cholera Asiatic. These case were not mild." "Do the patients suffer any pain?" '"No -there is no pain connected with Asiatic cholera. That is a popular 3 fallacy. This is one of the things which distinguish cholera Asiatic froi e cholera morbus. In the latter the pain comes at once. In true cholers a the patient becomes apathetic and suf fers hardly any pain. It is really at easy death to die. Cholera patients dic from asbpyxiation.

These cars run faster, more teaply and under far more perfect introl than do their predecessors,:the >rse cars. In America this system of ropulsion Is commercially but four or ye years old, and is barely out of its cperimental stage; yet it is a magnifi- - 6nt practical success-with more than 50,000,000 invested in it-and this in er some of the worst conditions possi- - le for railway work. Some of these Dnditions consist of verynarrow wheel anges, rough tracks, obstructed with rater, snow, mud, gravel- and foreign ,ehicles; curves as sharp as thirty feet adius, grades as steep as 12 per cent., to. A service more nearly resembling hat of our present steam roads is that )erformed by the City and South Lon !on Railway, which is practically the irst underground electrin road in the orld, and is already a great success, oaving during the eighteen months of ts existence carried more than 7,000,000 people, with a run of over 500,000 tra miles. Although not entirely perfected, a road like this forms one of the nota ble objeet lesson by which we are lirn ing to travel. In the light of such experience there - is no question whatever about the suc cess of either a subterranean or an ele vated electric road if properly designed to meet the new conditions involved and the running may be at any speed ; which can be made safe. We may, therefore, in our further study of the ideal railway, positively leave out of the qnestion the steam locomotive. Great as have been the performances : of this woiderful and beautiful mon ster, he not only refuses to climb very steep grades, but he has utterly.failed, in the matter of speed, to keep pace with his Improved behavior in other respects. In proof of this we have" records of English engines goingat the rate of seventy-five miles anhourforty years ago, and that is the maximum work of our present machines, although they-may have occasionally touched a ninety-mile rate as a phenomenon.
