THE election Vi postmaster oy tne
people is being agitated in Congress, and
has many advocates among the practical
men of both branches thereof. ltseems
10 be asking only what is right to claim
for the people the power OF choosing
this officer, for DO officials in the land
come so often and so closely in contact
with the people as postmasters and their
subordiuates, and therefore it is only
reasonable to concede to each community
the privilege Of nominating aud electlng
such officials. We believe the day will
come when this will be done with more
officers than postmasters, and our Gov
ernment will not be perfectly free as Il
system of self government until the
people are conceded larger powers OF

He graduated at Kenyon College, Gam

law at the schools of Harvard and Yale.

menced the practice of his profession at
Bloomington. He was elected to the Ill
iuois Legislature in 1914, and in 1871
was member of the State Constitutional
Convention. In le4S he was elected
Judge of the Eighth Judicial District OF
Illinois, and was twice reelected to that
position. In 1852 President L!Lcoln
appointed Mr.. Davis an Associate JUS

There seems to be a general revival Of
the temperance cause throughout the
world just now. The Church of Rome
is taking it up with great energy, and
using its influence to restrain a class
who certainly do about as much drink
ing as any other, England, too, is
sharply at work, and Russia joins the
movement, backed by the Autocrat him
self and all the Greek Church. 1t is
doubtful if it can avail much in the
latter country against the trigidity OF the
climate. Teetotallers tell us and possl-
bly, correctly-that spirituous liquors
lessen the powers of the human frame
to resist cold, and yet in the frozen re-
gions of Norway, Sweden and Northern
Russia more spirits are drank thanwhere
else in Europe.

THE fair for the benefit of the Homeopathic
Hospital which is to be held in Boston in April,
already gives promise of being one of the larg-
est that has ever been held in New England.
1t has outgrown the limits of Music Hall, and
the expediency Of engaging Boston Theatre is
now being discussed The interest which is
manifested throughout New England testifies
that all Homeopaths fully realize the advan-
tage of having an institution under their own
auspices. Persons from all parts of New En-
gland can be admitted to the Hospital on the
same terms as residents of Massachusetts,
while the poor will be treated free of charge
We would once more ask all persons in Port
land who are interested in the cause, to aid us
in every possible way. The ladies who have
the matter in charge would gladly make per-
sonal appeal to each and every Homeopath; it
is however impossible for them to do so,
among the many hundred of families in our
city. They trust all will feel local pride
in the matter, and each one consider
herself, personally responsible for the success
of the undertaking. But little tine now re-
mains for preparation; and the ladies must
work with renewed zeal if they would have a
table that will reflect credit on our city. ANY
persons who are willing to give their time but
cannot furnish materials will be provided with
