THE st. Louis Republican,, Democratic
journal, says, "the people, having repudated
Democratic control in national affairs for
fourteen years, cannot be expected to accept
it again without ascertaining by fair trial
whether the party has learned those things
which it ought to learn, and forgotten those
things which it ought to forget" Precisely.
The people didn't care to trust that party
with the whole country, and so they gave it
control of part,-New Hampshire, for ex-
ample. They gave it fair trial and it hasn't
worked well. 1t has learned nothing and
forgotten nothing. Consequently it has for
feited all further claim for trial.

IT is a matter of no inconsiderable signifi
canoe when Bourbon. and Spanish Bour-
bon at that, adds 10 the old unmeaning for
mula ''King by the grace of God" the mean
ing phrase "and by the will of the nation,"
and declares in an official document addressed
to a friendly power that the Spanish mon
archy has been "reestablished by the accla-
nation and assent of the people," IL is but
just to remember when criticising the militia
ry rule of the first Napoleon that he taught
the kings about him, and taught their de-
scendants the necessity of admitting, in
words at least, that thrones are founded on
the will of the people.

The vote of New Hampshire shows a
Republican plurality of one hundred, and a
Republican and Prohibition majority of 1856.
Last year the Democratic plurality was !, ,461.
The Republicans have gained nearly 5000,
and the Democrats nearly 5000. over the
vote of last year. Last year the Governor
and legislature were Democratic, this year
they will be, Republican. All this looks very
much like decided Republican gain.

A CURIOUS case is on hearing before the
Supreme Court of New York. James Burke,
man with bibulous and cannibalistic ten
denotes, was sentenced to fifteen years. i'm
prisonment for biting off portion of James
McLaughlin's ear. Burke has appealed, con-
tending that the biting off of an ear does not
constitute the crimeI of mayhem. 1t is n-
geniously pleaded that an ear is not limb,
even when it has attained to the size of an
average st. Louis outer auricle, that it is not
necessary part, as the organs of hearing
are within the head and the outside flap is
merely ornamental, and that Mclaughlin
was not crippled by the bite. But ques-

course counsel for the plaintiff will make the

THE campaign in Connecticut will be
watched with deep interest. Last year the
Democrats elected the Governor by 1909
majority, and the year before their majority
was 3,OO0 The state is really Democratic at
spring elections. 1t is only when some great
national issue rouses her people that Re-
publican majority is cast. The Democrats
will make herculean efforts to carry the state
to counteract the effect of their disastrous
