This is a great co a try after all.
Many persons aud papers haye ad
verted to tfie ?act that inside of 24
hours after; thixlos ng of the recent
eiection ending one of the hottest,
campaigns ever! Jtnown on the con
tinent. tthe pedrpil had ; accepted the
situaktlon and settled' down to their
accustomed business. There is
nothing new in the thought; but it j
is alway8van interesting one. The
most marked! instance we have had
in many years of the ability of our
people to adapt themselves! to a
populaT verdicti was in; 1884 when
the result of the election turned
upon the vote of the State of Sfew
York. Many more than a million
votes were polled and Cleveland had,
out of this, great number, the insig
nificant majority of 1100 ;' yet as
coon as this fact wrvj fully deter
mined there was universal acqui
escence, the defeated party submit
ting as gracefully as if the majority
had been thousands instead of hun
dreds. The .Americans do a great
many foolish N things;; A foreigner
striking our shores in the heat
of a presidential campaign would
think we were a nation of , lunatics ;
but underneath the exterior there is
the saving common sene of the peo
pie, and, as good as that, their re
spect for their laws and. iD8titution8.
They have too often, under critical
conditions, exhibited their capacity
for 'self-government for any one to
need to fear for the eafety of the
republic Statesyille Landmark.
There seems to be a general re
joicing that the sale of the Seabord
Air Line is off and we are among
those pleaded. Nothing ib more to
be dreaded than such combinations
of accumulated weajtjj as will soon
defy competition and smother eyery
honest enterprise by whicn it is not
itself to be gratified. We have not
waded through all this muddle of
contention between the two ; systems
but from the motto of ..live and let
live" we hail the separate and inde
pendent existence of the S. A. L,,
and hope that the scooping?of every
thing in eight by corporations not
over ficruDulous already may be
throttled.
