The Fires in the Adirondacks,

Fires are still raging in the mountains in
the vicinity of Ticonderogs and Grown
Point, and the cars on the Whitehall and
Canada railroad are filled with deng
smoke as they pass along in the vicinity.
The leaves, underbrush and turf in the
woods, and the grass in the pasture flelb
are all as dry as finder, and all hopes Of
stopping the progress of the flames With.
out rain have been abandoned. Much dam
age has already been done, and where 1t i,
to end, If the present drouth continues
none can tell. The grass in the fields Is al
dry as hay, and corn, potatoes and other
fall crops are likely 10 prove failures.

Letter from Rev. Sylvanus Cobb, of Bos
lon, editor of the "Christian Freeman"

BOSTON, december "a, 1909.
Dear Sir-lt may be some satisfaction to
you to be Informed of the result of the
trial of the "PERUVIAN SYRUP" 10 my
family. My daughter was brought low
with typhoid fever last spring, and after
the fever left her she continued very weak
and the simplest food distressed her. For
months she remained in the same debilitat
ed condition, but from the first of Septem-
Der last, when she commenced taking the
Syrup, the digestive functions improved,
and she steadily gained strength and vital
ity and now, having taken two bottles,
she is restored to good state of health ;
indeed, she appears more really healthy
than she has for several years past am
of opinion that the "Protoxide OF Iron, u
contained in the Peruvian Syrup, was
adapted to her case, and affected what no
other known medicine could have affected.
Yours truly, s. COBB.

Terrible Cattle Diseese.

Aurie Van Vie is rich farmer living in
the vicinity of Fonda, N. Y. Not long
ago he bought car load of cattle at West
Albany, portion of which were from
Texas The latter were infected with an
insect like louise, which evidently sucks
the blood of the animal. 1t spread among
Mr.. Van Wie's herd, and has occasioned
great mortality. The animals become
weak and sickly, and then drop dead. Mr..
Van Vie has thus far lost ii head, lnclu-
ding an OK and four valuable mich cows.
1t is strange and terrible disease, and de-
mands investigation.

to all corners. There has not been q Sun
day, no matter how stormy or disagreeeble,
that the large auditorium has not been
crowded to overhowing with congregation
that included all shades Of religious Belief
from the Hebrew to the Roman Catholic.
Now, near the close Of the year, it
is found THAT there is surplus
of nearly $4,000 over and above
all the expenses, SO that it has been deter
mined to lower the scale OF seats engaged
for the year, and gire many places at the
rate of SO and $15, which last year could
not be secured for less than SEQ, though
some of the choice places have been made
little higher to maintain the revenue. It has
also been decided to give those who have
had their seats during the present year the
privilege of retaining them during the CON-
ing year, and to this end the present seat
owners will have the choice from Dec. to
Dec. II, after which the choice will be ex-
tended to the public generally. The surplus
revenue will be retained as part of q. fund for
building hall in the central part Of the city,
which has become the more necessary be-
cause of the regular church organization,
prayer~meetings, and charitable work that
hare been undertaken by the permanent

ct Mexico looks forward impatiently to
the time when he shall be old
enough to declare himself President. Every
fellow who isn't already President may rea-
sonably hope to be one. 1t is bad year for
Mexican Presidents when there are not more
than two in the field. But the thing is radi-
cally different in this country. The prece-
dents are all the other way. One President
is quite as much as the people can stand at
one time. There isn't that patriotic appre-
ciation of revolution among our people that
is found among the Mexicans The individ-
ual who precipitates the country into civil
war, and carnage, and the deso1ation of
homes, and the destruction Of business, and
submission to dictation and pillage, isn't re-
garded with the same fondness and admira-
ton by the American people as the same in
diVidual is by the Mexican people. A1r. Po1-
TER appears to have ignored this radical DIFF
ference between the two countries, which
will in oil probability be fatal to Ills scheme
for pronouncing TnDEN President in case
HAYES be elected.

As usual in all emergencies, there are
plenty Of suggestions bearing upon the pres
ent political muddle, the inventors Of which
are sure will settle the question. It has been
gravely proposed to us by one Of the people,
as sure remedy for the situntion and an
adequate means Of allaying excitement, that
both the candidates, HAYES and TnDEN,
withdraw their elai1ns to the Presidency,
meet together and select some third man,
like CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS or Mr. BR1s-
TOW, md that the Electoral College shall
then meet and vote for the man whom they
select. This would be very handsome
little arrangement if there were not certain
difficulties in the way. We have no doubt
that Mr.. HAYES would do all in his power
that would insure peace and prosperity to
the country, but we have very grave doubts
as to A1r. T11DES in this direction, for the
reason that there is not force enough in
Heaven or earth to haul of Democrat who
has come in sight of on Office. But suppose
they should meet. Mr. TnDE1, of
course, would insist upop DEM
ocrat aud Mr.. HAYES upon q Republican.
How are they to agree2 If they should
agree and unite upon CHARLES FRANCIS
ADAsta, the Republicans would not take him;
if they should unite upon Nh. Bn1srow, the
Democrats would not take him. # they
should get candidate and give him to the
Electoral College, the Electors being CON-
posed of soyereigns, they would exercise
their sovereign choice, end confusion would
be twice confounded- Worse than all else,
imagine the howl aud clamor which would be
set up from the thousands Of famished DEM
ocrats. whose hopes Of Office hang upon IT,
DEss election! This plan is On par
with the proposal seriously made in
New York the other day, that HAYES
should take two years Of the term
and TnDES the other two. Then who would
have the first half? They might decide it
by Tipping q copper, but would the second
man ever get the last half? If Mr.. TnDEs
should get the first half, and taste the sweets
IT Office for two years, would he give them
no?

The canyassing Of the votes Of the contest
ed parishes in Louisiana kns not commenced.
The consolidated votes OF several Of the par
lshes, as appeared from the sealed packages,
were simply announced yesterday. The
hearing Of testimony and reading of afida-
wits will begin on Monday next. When the
vote Of De Soto Parish WAS reached yester-
day it was discovered that one Of the afida-
Wits inclosed bore date Of Nov. 25. As the
Clerk had just stated that he received the
package On the 18th inst, this discov-
cry caused considerable wonderment and
not little suspicion that something was
wrong. Senator SHERMAN, representing the
Republicans, could not see how the newly
made affidavit could have gotten into the pack
age, and gave as his opinion that the bundle
had been opened since its arrival in New Or
leans. This incident created the first real
sensation that has occurred in the Board,
and more will be heard of it when these con-.
tested parishes come up for consideration
next week. The explanation Of the Clerk of
the Board is that the returns from the parish
in question were received BY him in separate
packages.

cred this matter. Some legislation is essen
tial to prevent the bankruptcy of the City
Government or the Reputation Of the debt
represented by this large deficit, AL the
other cities in the State are in precisely the
same condition. They are helplessly in-
volved between the requirements of the law
and the restraints Of the law, the obligations
Of government and the interposition of the
Courts denying them the means Of comply
ing with=the law. Whateyer measure may
be matured in Chicago will receive the hearty
approval and support of all the other Mu-
nlcipal Governments Of the State. In
the preparation and maturing of bills
to accomplish this remedial legislation
the members Of the Genera! Assembly
representing this county should familiarize
themselves with all tile details of the cityis
embarrassments, the complications and re-
strictions interposed by the Courts, and the
unfortunate omissions in the Revenue law,
and be prepared with the representatives of
other City Governments to urge upon the
Legislature the necessity and urgency Of the
relief asked 1t is only in the hope of some
such legislation at this session that the Gov
erpments Of the several cities in this State
are able to maintain an existence Retrench-
ment, economy, and careful management
cannot overcome the deficit caused by lost
taxes; and if such legislation cannot be had
as will make the General Revenue law ef-
fective as to all taxes, and be made to con-
form to the judicial exposition Of what
Revenue laws should be to accomplish their
purposes, then this city and the other cities
of the State may not only expect deliverance
from the existing financial embarrassments,
but may be afforded such protection for the
future that the vocation of the tax-fghters
will cease, and the Courts become the reso-
lutte defenders of Government in the collec-
ton Of their legal and necessary means of
support.

And now Kentucky wheels into the line Of
doubtful or disputed States. How in the
world Gun that be? Simply because the cit
liens Of TINT State have retained the rira Cock
system Of voting, and generally contented
themselves with saying, SO vote the Demo-
CRITIC ticket" or - vote for T1LDEN and

College. It is said that the only two Elect
ors chosen in that State are T11DES aud

not serve This makes confusion a little

the advantage which annual elections Will
give is the means Of getting rid Of such per
sons at the end of one year, instead OF the
chance of getting rid Of portion Of them at
the end of three years. This is not party
question; lines Of division in the County
Board have never been political parties
there are c1assed by other issues; and it is
most lamentable fact that after December
the Board will be nearly unit in support of
the common policy Of prohigate expenditure
and the exhaustion of public credit
and resources by wastefnl contracts and jobs
Among the several changes in our local gov
ernment and laws, the members-elect from
this county to the General Assembly can
render no greater service to the general pub
lie, nor one more gratifying to citizens OF all
parties, than by uniting upon q bill to amend
the present County Commissioners law by
having the whole fifteen members elected by
general ticket, and all elected annually.
These could be selected as now,-ten from
residents within the city and five from the
towns. The Board would then become dl-
rectly responsible to the pnblic,-the short
terms subjecting them to, the trial Of new
election,-and the public would have an op-
portunity of passing upon the Official conduct
of each member. Any hope Of reforma-
ton in the Board under the present system
is an idle one; it is as hopeless as was the
effort to reform the Common Council, until
by the change in the law the people had to
elect full Board, when the reform was radi-
cal and complete, the people Of both parties
uniting to make it effective. We trust that
there will be O vigorous and united effort to
this wholesome and greatly~need-
ed reorganization and reg eneration of the
Board of County Commissioners.

considering the difficulties encountered,
there has probably never been a more sue
cessfu effort at harmonizing the extremes OF
despotlsm and anarchy under common and
Constitutional Government than is found in
the history OF the Italian Kingdom during
the last dozen Or fifteen years. With the
occupation Of Rome aud assumption Of tenn
pora1 power in the Papal dominions, the TO-
pograph1cd consolidation of Italy was COM
plete. It had been achieved by gradual
stages, and in spite of extreme Radicalism ot
one side and extreme Ultramontanis1n on: tia
other. The desperate hold that the Church
Kept upon the l1iterate classes, which ara
painfully numerous in Italy, and the unre-
strained license which the extreme italian
Republicans conceived to be the natural re-
suit OF an escape from priestcraft, have
been thorns in the side Of those striving
tor Constitutional Government. But
the progress has, nevertheless, been per-
manent, steady. and uniform; unifcation
and moderation seem to have gone hand in
hand, and they have prevailed alike over the
church, the laszaromi, the 1awless, the prince
y paupers, the financial embarrassments, and
the frequent complications of European poll
TICS that have threatened the ambition Of the
Italian King and the better classes that have
supported his Government.
There is reason to believe that among all
the auxlllaries Of this successful career lin
tied system Of suffrage has been one Of the
most useful checks upon extreme Radicalism
Is well as despo*ism. But now there is to
ne an attempt to enlarge the suffrage, which
mas heretofore been contracted BY property
qual1hcat1ons- This movement is the cut
growth OF ministerial crisis, brought on
BY difference with the Parliament on
questions Of internal po6cj. The Govern
ment stood by the DErREr1s Ministry, dis
solved the Parliament, and appealed TO the
country. It was toresean, however, that the

THE SOUTH CAROLINA MUDDLE.

In contemplating the dispute between the
Returning Board and the Supreme Court Of
South Carolina, the people of the North must
keep in mind that the fight simply concerns
two factions in the State, and III no wise af-
fects the Electoral vote As We understand
the situation, an actual count Of all the re-
turns, without throwing out any county or
precinct, showed the HAYES Electors to have
been chosen by najorities ranging from
1900 down to $50. This result was an
nounced before it was determined to reject
the votes of Lauens and Edgedeld Counties;
SO that, if the on1er Of the Supreme Court
were literally followed, which was that the
Returning Board should aggregate the votes
simply as they were returned, it would still
leave the Electoral vote of the State for
HiYEs md WHEELER. The majority for
one of the HA11s Electors being SO SMALL
only 230,-the Democrats hoped to secure
a TnDES Eectcr by setting up certain minor
Irregularities, but the Returning Board re-
fused to consider them. The HAYES Electors
are chosen, therefore, Whatever may be the
result Of the issue between the Supreme
Court and the Returning Board; aud the
national interest in the dispute is considera-
bly, diminished by this circumstance.
As to the merits Of the controversy, the
points seem to be as follows: The Return
ing Board Of South Carolina, like that of
Louisiana, is constitutional tribunal. whose
functions are defined by law. It is empow-
cred under the law, not merely to count the
returns from the counties, but to examine
and correct them. Tie members Of this
Board, therefore, deny the authority
Of the Supreme Court to enjoin them
from doing what the Law plainly re-
qnires them to do. Moreover, the Law limits
the life of the Returning Board to ten days;
the Board was in session just ten days, and
then adjourned sine die. But the order
of the Supreme Court directing the man.
ner in which the vote was to be
canvassed was not issued until after the
Board had adjourned aud Was lifeless under
the law. It is claimed, consequently, that
the Supreme Court ~ had no authority to
order the Returning Board to proceed in
, 1876-11-26

violation of the law, and (2) TINT it cannot
commit the members Of the Board for con-
tempt, because this order was not issued
until after the members had ceased to have
an official existence.
To an intelligent understanding Of the
situation, it should be known that MOSES,
the ChiefJustice Of the Supreme Court, is
the father of the Moses who was elected
Governor Of the State in 1872, and whom
CHAMBERLAIN antagonized, The Moses Ad~
ministration was admittedly corrupt, and it
was mainly through CHANBER1Ars's efforts
that the corruption was exposed and stopped.
subsequently, CHAa1BER1A1y, as Governor,
refused to commission this same Moses as
Circuit Judge, which increased the feud be-
tween him and the Moses family. Now, for
the first time, there seems to be an oppor-
tunity for the Moses corruptionists to get even
with CHAABEnLA1N for his hostility to them !;
and it appears that the South Carolina Dem
ocrats, though led by the chivalric WADE
HAMPTON, have not been above avai1ing
themselves Of the well-known rascality Of
this modern tribe Of Moses to further their
purpose of getting control Of the State.
The present plan Of Moses and his associ-
nte WILLARD, Of the Supreme Court, acting
on behalf Of the Democrats, who have de-
nounced them for years as scoundrels, is to
reconvene the Returning Board, which is
dead in the eyes of the law, and compel it to
60 back, aggregate the votes as they were re-
turned, declare the Democratic ticket elect
ed, and give the Democrats the Legislature.
This is drawing on the credulity Of mankind
even more than the ancestors Of the modern
Moses ever attempted. We are told that
JOSHUA commanded the sun to stand still
while he whipped the enemy, but be did not
attempt the difficult astronomical feat of re-
versing the natural revolution so as to gain
day or two. So the God Of Battles is said
to have been on the side Of the Jews as long
as the arms Of the original Moses could be
held up in supplication. But the South
Carolina descendant Of the patriarchal family
proposes to stop time by merely turning the
hour-hnnd back on the face Of the clock; he
wants to touch the dead corpse Of the Re
turning Board, bring it to life, prescribe g
retroactive policy in violation Of law, and
proceed as if be had commanded the reversal
of that order of things by which we regulate
time. This, it will be admitted, is tolera-
bly, difficult undertaking; but we are satisfied
it can be accomplished in South Carolina and
by the modern MOSES, if it is possible any
where. Indeed, the announcement this
morning that the Supreme Court has fined |
each member Of the Board 81, 500, and COM
mitted all the members to jail until released
by order Of the Court, indicates that the !
modern Moses is determined to exceed the !
powers of his ancestors.
