senator Blaine opens the canvass in his
own stale with unnecessary yirulence,
thereby doing himself more harm than
the political enemy whom he would in
jure. His speech at the district conven-
ton at Augusta on Wednesday was not
only in bad taste, but it was singularly
appropriate, coming from one who has
just gone through the Iiery ordeal 10
which he was subjected. Doubtless Mr..
Blaine would have us believe that the
charges against him had their foundation
In political malice and were intended only
Tor political effect, but, iorgetiul of the
charity he asks, lac tails To accord it in
turn. His insinuation that Governor
lilden will use of ms abundant private
means to carry the Maine elections i'm
September will not be believed by any
and 1t Is not possible that Mr.. Blaine
himself believes it. Why he should so far
forget the attitude in which he stands be-
tore the country as to utter such foolish
SANDER is not easily explained upon any
other hypothesis than that his illness has
deprived him Of much OF that acuteness
ana common sense to which he owed
much OF his prominence. Ii cannot be
that Mr.. Blaine is trying to seattle others
because he is himself not unscathed, or
that ne attacks Governor Tilden's intep-
rty because his own would have been at
tackled had he been Governor 1ilden's
aDtagon in the presidential battle. But
whatever view We may take Of his mo-
yves his speech is equally unworthy.

JOHN W. GREAR, jr., is left, by the re.
tirement OF young Dishon, in full edito-
rial control Of the Murphysboro hide
pendent. He expresses the fear that,
through the retirement of Dishon, the
paper will lose the greater part of the
life and fire that have hitherto rendered
it generally acceptable to its patrons !;
but, in the number before US we see no
indications of such result. A good
country paper always, it is good one
still.

Inhumanity at San Gabriel.

The Anaheim Gazette has this
hideOus item: From a cOrrespOn-
dent of the Gazette at San Gabriel,
we learn that last Wednesday, a
sick Mexican put in an appearance
at the place. He was first seen by
some carpenters building on the
Alhamhra tract. He begged for
water, which was given him, and
he was ordered to move on. He
then visited some houses in the
Mission. and the people, alarmed
at the signs of small pOx which
were apparent on him, ordered
him away. He fiaally passed the
day under an oak tree, near the
residence Of George c.. Gibbs. ly-
ing face downward, and refusing
to show his face or hands. Mr..
Gibbs reported the case in the
Mission and tried to get some one
to visit him who could talk span
ish. 1t was evening before any
one went to the spot, and it was
then discovered that he had gone.
No more thought was given the
subject, until the next day, when
he was found dead in the cactus
hedge below the residence of Gen.
eFal Howard. He had probably
crawIed there and died during
the night. The community were
so afraid Of smallpox that some
of the mea went 90 the spot, piled
wood over the corpse of the unfOr-
tunate man, set it on fire and Gre
him. Our informant adds
that it will he impossible to make
their cemetery a success in that
section, if they persist in treating
in that way.

The Aurora Stage Robbed.

GENOA, New, October 3d.
About $50 this morning the stage
from Aurora, Con. Denice, driver,
was stopped and robbed within a
half mile of and in plain sight of
KilgOre's station, the Mountain
House. There were two masked
robbers, with double barrelled
shotguns and revOlvers. One of
the men was tall, the other of
medium size, and both slim. They
sawed Wells, Fargo & Co.'S ex-
press box open and took all the
money, which was 1928. The
checks and other papers, as we'll
as the nine bars of bullion and
five passengers aboard, were uD-
touched.
