The Fight in Maine and Vermont.

Maine and Vermont will vote presently
for members of Congress, Governor, and
State officers generally. Vermont we
concede to the GRANTEES. Still, we eX-
pect to diminish their majority.
But all interest centers in Maine. Can
we carry. Maine? In 1910, Maine swung
from Democratic mOorings. and electri-
fled the nation of Wings. The next year
it returned to the Democracy. In 1856 it
gave Hamlin, the Republican candidate
for Governor, a maj ority of over 10000.
Since this period-siXteen years-Mai, e
has run in the Republican groove. Grant S
majority was 2S,000.
But Maine has been falling away from
Grant. The majority last year was only,
in round numbers, about 10000. A
change of 5000 Republican votes, there
fore-if the election be not foully dealt
with by the Grant managers-will give
Maine to the Liberals.
Men-among the best of the old Re-
publicans-are now at work for reform
in Maine. Conspicuous amnng these we

Were the Ancient Italians Cannibals

A somewhat remarkable discovery of
human and animal remains is announced
by Prof. Capellini, of Bologna, in a grOttO
in the island of Palmeria, the access to
which is difficult and dangerous. Here
he caused excavations to be made, and
the result was the discovery of numerous
flint and stone implements, the workman
ship of which showed that they belonged
to the earliest period of the stone age.
Besides these wrought implements and va
rious other objects brought into the
cavern by its human occupants, he found
a considerable quantity of bones of ami
mails min led with bones of human beings.
The condition of these latter bones, he

Italians of that epoch were cannibals, like
their contemporaries in Belgium, France,
and Denmark
'.AmOng the human bones were found
those of women, and part OF the JawbOne

age. Some of these bones were entire,
others were partially calcined. In the

King Grant.

King Grant has made monument
which is his own-absolutely his-every
block and inscription of it! What that
monument is we see to our shame and
sorrow and disgrace. Over all the land,
over every sea, in every department IN
private life, in public generalization, 1t IS
such monument of narrow despotlsm,
of recklessness. of ignorance. of lawless-
ness, of nepOtism, of dissipation, of waste,
of corruption. that the faithful historian
will wonder why-long ago-it was not
ie.eled by impeachment SO positively
shocking is Grants civil record, that its
recital seems like telling thing improba-
BILE! Inever recur to this record--in my
letters-but feel the force of the couplet,

line. as all candid and intelligent readers

BY s'Junius'' which is not more than verb

King Grant wants 'sunity''-on this line
in the Republican party-like the taste

he sounds the s'B alt of appeal I'VE must

like Morton. or his bulldogs. We must

HOar and Judicial Appointments.

In his recent letter advocating the re-
election of Grant, Judge Hoar OF Massa-
clIusettS says:
ssHis president Grant's) conscientious
care in the selection of high judicial offi-
GERS deserves grateful recognition from
the people. whose security and welfare
are so deeply and permanently concerned
in the learning, ability and uprightness
of Judges"
which leads the Springfield Republican,
to remark that the President nominated
Judge Hoar himself to the supreme Denen,
and afterwards filled its vacancies with
two gentlemen whom Judge Hoar Sc
lected. who no sooner got upon the bench
than they proceeded to reopen qtestIoh

THE PRESENT-TARING PRESIDENT

AIR-'sThe Fine Old English Gentleman. F"
I'n sing you, friends, modern song
You've seldom heard its mate
OF an over-gifted President,
Who wins much real estate;
He is lining all his pockets
Almost outrageous rate.
For a liberal giver never lacks
\ welcome ut the gate
OF this modern model President.
One of the taking kind
He goes for scrip, blood-stock and pups,
No gift his hand foregoes,
And should he tell of bribery
But the half of what he knows,
You'd smell corruption's stencil so strong
You'd have to hold your nose.
And rs to all his kith and kin
They're hungrier than crows.
O, this many-brothered President,
One of the costly kind.
At every season of the year
He opens house to all,
Who bring rich presents in their fists,
At each ax-grindinG call
Nor is the humble donor
Turned from the White House hall,
For, though he loves the large gifts best,
lie don't despise the small
O, this presenf-taking President,
One of the meanest kind
But time at last, makes all things right,
The months glide quickly by,
And in November he must stand
The hazard of the die.
Well double-six him the first throw,
Blow all his hopes sky high,
And Dut the noses out of joint
Of all the family
Of this breeches-pocket President,
One of the smallest kind.
Wen have patriot IN his place,
With not scamp to deal,
Butplace above the treasury doors
The scroll f'Thou shalt not steal;'
And on all public pl,tnderers
Bring down his honest heel,
Taking no Thought of anything
But of the peoples veal,
Like Il just, unselfish President,
one ofthe olden kind.
