There are lots of dead politicians since the 4th of November, but they can be spared. , . Some Blaine editors are finding consolation jn the reflection that the Democratic candidates didn t get very large pluralities in the four Northern States that voted for them. Well, the pluralities were large enough for all practical purposes. Civil Bervice reform don't mean putting one man into office or another out. It means that the men who are put into office must be honest and competent, and that they "honestly and faith f ally perform the duties for which- they are appointed, and for which they are paid.- . ? - .- - " ' ' : :. ; As a soother for -Blaine's wounded feelings, his friends are going to give him a serenade when he arrives in Washington to take up his winter quarters. Well, as he couldn't DB President, the next best thing they can do for him is to serenade him. That won't hurt the country, while making him President would. , Some of our esteemed Republican journals r persist in being unhappy because Blame was defeated. We assure them that if they will take a calm," rational view of affairs, and remember that the Democratic party has had some experience ia the gov ernment of this country in yearsAhnt are gone by, they, may ' quiet their perturbed spirits and be happy yet.

Senator ..Hawley, "of - Connecticut says the wild rumor that the Repub lican Senate will attempt to handicap President Cleveland by refusing to approve his appointments looks : to him like a puerile attempt to frighten the President elect,- but he hardly thinks it will have the intended ef fect.' Mr. Hawley, who is a 6taun 6h Republican, further sayshe Senate 'will acl with! Mr. Cleveiand as Presi dent of the United States, not as a partisan, and he , will act with the genate with an utter disregard for its political complexion." Mr: Hawley a-., sensible, - conservative and, his estimate 1 of the President elect ls doubtless the cor BUSINESS REVIVAL. ; i Not satisfied with mourning over the defeat of Blaine, some of the North era Republican journals are making their readers unhappy with predie tiona or continued hard times as . one of the results of that defeat. .Theji. point to the fact that ' a number, of Northern mills' and factories - have cut down the wages oi tneir opera- tives, or shortened the time of work, or temporarily closed r their doors. But this has nt taken i place only since the flection,- and in consequence of it. - For the past two years there has been more or less of business des pressioii in the North, usually in re duction of wages or a reduction ! of the hours of work, which was -ac counted for by manufacturers on the ground of over production,' and that such action was - necessary until a portion of the stocks on hand ; were disposed of. It had no political., sig- hificance whatever, nor has the clos ing of mills now or the reduction, of wages any political significance now' although these . partisan r journals. would try to make it appear so..; Arn Notwithstanding the present Jde- pression the indications are that the. coming spring will witness a great revival of industries and the begin ning of a period of remarkable activi ty. As an evidence that this opinion is held by some of the leading bu'si" ness men of the.-oountry , we vquote the following from an interview with Ei-Gov. James E. English, of Conned ' ticut, which we clip from the New York Sun: -V - . .'- ThejDldest active business man and the richest in New Haven is Ex-Gov- James E English, who is said to be worttt $7,000,000. Me is personally interested in a host of - the larger manufactories of all kinds in ' the State, and his opinion upon business and trade is valuedT highly jn ' Con ; necticut, where this sterling old Dem ocrat is well known and revered. Gov. English is 70 years old, but hale and hearty. " . ; ' 1 "What do you think of this talk about low wages and starvation ; and prostration of business?" he was ask ed this evening.' 1 -' - v -p- t "Un tne wnole," said ne, 1 consider, the outlook for all kinds of business excellent. There will be some talk of low wages this winter, but in; the spring there will, I believe, be wore for everybody; The present market for money in New York is lower than in London. With such a condition 0f finance it cannot remain long un- "Do you attribute the present con-. dition of. business wholly to the- re cent election?" ' . r "-iV " 4 .. "I have been," said he, "an observer of the effects of Presidential elections since Jackson was elected - in 1828, and my observation leads me to say that in all Presidential years the gen era! business of the country has been unusually dull. After the election is over there is almost invariably of business to a marked extent. I do not see why th" present Presidential election year Should be an exception to this rule, bo far as my knowledge extends, business is already improve ing, and by the coming spring I ex pect that the usual amount of busi ness will be 'done by our manufactur ers.? I am confirmed in this opinion by the fact that consumption of - all kinds is going on, and consequently reducing the stocks of manufactured goods on hand.1 You see, supply and demand regulate not only production, but price as ; well, or all material. Manufactories, some five of them, in which 1 am personally interested, are already receiving increased - or ders to a considerable extent for - the several kinds of goods which they produce. ; Those who want to' bor row find no trouble to get what .they require on firstsclass property at five percent, interest, and on -another class at six per cent." f . . . . . While there will be a revival of business- throughout : the country, we believe it will be more" marked and general in the' South than m any oth er: section for the - reason that the doubts that hang over the South as to the agitation of disturbing questions have been set at rest " by the'-; election of Messrs. Cleveland and Hendricks and the triumph of a. non-sectional party , oae-w Ulohjoames into bower withydo, frnlinr nf hrriTiility to the South, Qwhose policy wiliTba to bMgall sections of the country gather iu fraternal fellowship instead of kping them apartJysrJtional legislatioTi and wotiutraT-discrimina (tion.

"Um. yum, I smell burnt cotton." said a cotton buyer in front of Tpole, McGarran &rTondee's warehouse sev eral days ago. Jlere it is," said another buver. picking up a handful of scorched cot ton which was lying on the grpund. "There is no fire in it, though," he added carelessly. "How last will cotton burn!" asked a Recorder man, who was standing by. "It will burn faster than anything I know of," said the buver as he turned the staple ardund in his hand. and examined it. "Just to show vou- -here," and he picked un a handful of the clean cotton and handed it to the reporter. : ."Now wad that up tight and put your cigar to it. . Then fold it up and put your - hands over it."- : The reporter did so.. The moment the cigar was applied , the cotton caught and the fire began to sink into, the handful. He closed his hands over it, and in a short time it became so hot that he was unahle to hold it Picking up another handful he wrap ped it around the fire, and, holding it tightly in both bands, succeeded in crushing out the fire, as. he thought. w nen.it was again opened, however, it oegan to ourn as fiara as ever. . : "It is almost impossible to out the fire out . when it once catches cotton: The closer a bale is packed the faster it will burn. It don't spread out like any thing else, but burns directly to the centre and consumes the inside of the bale first.. -1 remember once in Savannah on the wharf, when I was billing some compressed bales, that all at once a boy yelled at me, and look ing around ! saw a bale I had lust passed fall to pieces and flames begin to come rrom it. uy gooa iuck tne fire got no further. That bale.'prob ably, had been burning a couple of days. . Ginhouses are often burned up by the pickers smoking in the held and letting a spark drop into a cotton baskets it is dumped into the wagon and then into the ginhouse, and does not get fairly started before night. and before any ..one knows it, the ginhouse is on fire and burnt.". Uig tires in - warehouses,'? he con tinued, "are often caused by careless drivers,: who smoke as tbey drive the cotton to-townr The tiniest kind - of 8park will sink into a bale, and if discovered, wui burn thousands or 'dollars worth of cotton. c That is why buyers always carry as muoh , insurs ance as tbey can get.
