But we sincerely hope that the lesson the Re-
publican party has received will be so far tax.
en- to heart that when the legislatures ofsMaine,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Michigan, Min

publicans will redouble their care in examining
the qualifications of candidates for the Senate.
Boston Advertiser.
The only chance for the Advertiser to es-
cape being read out of the Republican party
for daring to express the above opinion, is
that our Maine Republican censor in the
Wing office at Bangor may fail to notice it.
We want it distinctly understood that we do
not sympathize in such reasonable senti-
ments. We advise every legislator to double
the blinds prepared by their assumed leaders
and rush on regardless of consequences.

Vermont Central Railroad.

BOSTON, Nov. Cat meeting of first mort
gage bond holders of the Vermont Central
Railroad here to-day to concert measures for Sc
curing payment of the bonds and interest, it
was stated that the first mortgage bond holders
were in a most disastrous situation. The de.
fault in payment of bonds and interest had
continued since 1864. in 1867 liabilities which
had precedence to first mortgage bonds was S.
100000. Between 1867 and 1872, the receivers
had increased the liabilities. which were re-
garded by them as having prior claim to the
first mortgage bonds to the sum of about ST.
100000. The first mortgage holders now pro-
pose to obtain foreclosure of this mortgage
which can only be done by applying to the Leg
islature of Vermont for an act Of incorporation,
and the bondhoders having obtained it, to act
before the foreclosure. This plan had earnest
opponents in the meeting, and the discussion
was lengthy Messrs. Griswold, Dwight and
lowing resolution. which was passed as the
sense Of the meeting: 1898
Resolved, That committee of three of the
first mortgage bondholders of the Vermont
Central Railroad be appointed to represent
their interests in a bill for Incorporating said
bondholders, now pending in the Legislature Of
Vermont, and to do what they can in aid of the
passage of said bill.

FOR EIGN.


New YORK, Nov. 6.-[Herald cable speciaL]
The London Times commenting ON the re
cent Democratic victory in the United States
says: 1T is fortunate that at present there is
no serious issue raised between the parties on
union or state affairs. 1t gives occasion for
some anxiety to know that when Congress
meets in Washington the new House VIII be
controlled by large Democratic majority, yet
in spite OF all this Gen. Grant will remain in
office till 1877 There is no power in the con-
stitution to change single member of the adj
ministration. Events of the week betoken
condemnation"
The Pail Gazette says: profound dsstrust
of Butler and other leaders had taken hold of
the minds OF the people who otherwise were
content to vote with the party. The verdict is
protest against third term for Grant, against
the policy of administration towards,
against the salary bill and future of fraud in
vestigatOns. Some of Grants blunders are ir-
reparable, others retrevable.
The Standard aud Leader are much the same
as the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Morning Post thinks Grant might have
have arrested the result by opening his lips as
the assertion of other partizans were not sufi-
Gent to make the people believe the idea of a
third term.

IT appears that by the mistake Of some
in printing mixed tickets, Sheriff Pencil is
not reelected by a literal count. 1t is most
probably a clerical error, and when the Gov
ernor and Council are satisfied that the votes
were cast for William L. Pencil, they should
be 60 counted and the certificate of election
given to him. If it is the purpose Of an cleo
ton to give expression to the will of the
voters, this is the only course to pursue.
This is the view which has been taken by
the Maine House of Representatives the past
ten years, and is the only one which justice

COurting Disease.

The individual may be said to court disease who
exposes himselfto the miasmatic influences which
give rise to chls and fever and other maarous cpl
denies and endemics, without previously terrifying
his system against their nsidious attacks by the use
OF protective medicinal agent The hardest con-
sttuton is by no means proof against such maladies
much less one naturally weak or bilious or the an
tagonstic power of which is essened by an irregular
habit Of body. The inhabitants of the bottom lands
of the South, of the cearings of the West of sub
urban districts where sunken lots exist of every lc-
eaity OF the American continent, in fact where ma
lara is epidemic sporadic declare that the only
true antdote to the miasmatc virus that they have
ever used is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters There
seems to be something peculiarly resistant in this
standard preventive and remedy to all hurttul at
mospheric influences
