The maine Election.

The result of the voting in Name has
sprung a surprise upon the straight-out
politicians of both parties. 1t has been
repeatedly asserted by the republican
leaders that what they called 1.-THE
greenback heresy" had no standing
ground among the republicans in New
En- gland. The Maine election proves
to the contrary. The ranks Of both
political parties in that State have been
broken by the greenback tidal wave"
and its partial success may be ikened
somewhat TO that Of the "know-knoth-
ing craze" in 1924. 1t will probably
tend TO strengthen very materially
General Butler in the gubernatorial
campaign upon which he has now en-
tered in Massachusetts. In Maine the
vote polled on Monday is said to have
been twenty per cent. larger than usual,
the estimated popular vote being 5S,-
eco for the republican candidate, Con-
nor, for Governor, 10000 for Garcelon,
the democratic candidate, and $1,000
for Smith, the greenback candidate.
THIS throws the election for Governor
into the Legislature, where, If the
democrats and Sreenbackers work to-
cether, they may be able to defeat the
republicans. The law Of that State
prcsclibes that the lower house from the
four highest candidates shall select two
whose names shall be sent to the
Senate. and from these two names the
latter body must select the enc who
shall he Governor. If, therefore, the
croenlackers and democrats are IN
majority in The House they may send TO
tie Senate the names Of their respec-
tive cubernatorial candidates, and the
senate. although itselfrepublican, will
lie forced 10 chose between Smith,
crecnbacker, and Garcelon, democrat.
There are some OF the straight-out
democrats, however,who are SAID to have
pledged themselves against the selec-
ION Of a grconback nemnee for Cover.
nor, and thus there is a chance for the
republicans yet. One of the greatest
surprises Of the election is the probable
defeat Of Mr.. Hale for Congress. He
was one Of the pets fthe republicans,
and his case is avery striking one in IFS
illustration Of the strength ofthe op-
position within his own party. The
defeat Of Mr.. Powers, republican, is re-
carded as certain. and IS equally ssur-
pris.ng.

Forest fires have been raging on the
north side .of the Columbia river,
Washington Territory, for several days.
The losses are estimated at half a
million dollars. A German named
Hoffman persisted in the fire at enc
point.
A colored baby, near Forest Hill
Hartford county, was born with four dis
tinct, wcll-developed ears.

YeIleW Fever.

Hopes were INDUCED a few days ago
that the fever was on the decline but
with the return Of warmer weather, the
disease has proved more malignant
and the number Of deaths at some Of
the points has materially increased. The
suffering and restitution is still very
great. Assistance is needed. The
liberal all over the country are respond
ing well to the cries and it is hoped
that the suffering will be relieved as
much as II IS possible for human power
to relieve them. Those who have work
cd faithfully for weeks are now falling
rapidly and many Of the doctors, nurses
and active men ofthe Howard Assoc
iaticn have died.

y noticeable thing about Buffers
canvass is the absence Of men OF
prominence among his supporters. No
body of any reputation casts his lot
with nina fact Of great significance,
SLOWING both the extent of Buffers

prominent who has joined him is Tar

II is a mistake, however. TO call TarbOx

American Pianos Abroad.
A Leading BaHlmere Firm Establishes a
Branch House IN London.

1t is interesting and gratifying to note
the fact that Messrs. YIN. Knabe i
Co., one of Baltimore's leading manu-.
featuring firms, has been solicited by a
great London music house to establish
an agency in that city for the sale Of
their pianos throughout Great Britain.
The London firm referred to is the
leading music house Of the English
metropolis, Messrs. Metzler Il Co. OF
Great Marlborough street, whose estab-
lishment is familiar to all Americans
whs travel abroad. This gives to
Messrs. Knabe g. Go. an agency cover
! ing all of Great Britain, and also an
outlet for their instruments throughout
continental Europe. 1t is, OF course,
unnecessary to speak Of the excellence
Of the Knabe pianos; but while they are
so widely known throughout the United
States, their reputation abroad and the
demand for them in other countries than
ours. TO such an extent as to prompt
the leading London firm to purchase
them directly, is an event in the piano
trade of America worthy of special
mention. Baltimore is to be congratu-
lated upon the enterprise ofsuch wide
awake and philosophical house as that
Of Knabe & Co., through whose efforts
our manufactures have gained an en-
viable reputation in ether. countries as
well as the United States. Messrs.
Metzler g. Co.'s representative visited
Baltimore a few days ago and cloted the
flual arrangements with Messrs. Knabe
& Co., leaving with them large
orders and bespeaking an extensive
business in the early future. A large
shipment of grand and upright pianos
the styles most desired in European
cities-was made during the present
week, and It's probable that Messrs.
Knabe s. Co. will find it necessary to
increase their force Of employees to meet
this extra demand, as their large force
IS now taxed TO its fullest capacity in
supplying the home trade for their
instruments.

PEAT LANDs.-There is large

PEAT LANDs.-There is a large
swamp lying atout seven miles south
OF this city which. if properly drained
and cleared Of its under brush, could be
made one Of the most valuable farms in
King county. We allude to the big
swamp along the line of the Seattle
aud Wslla Walla railroad, the head of
which is near James Steeps place. Sim
liar swamps have been drained in New
Jersey and now are worth 5000 per acre
for the cultivation Of cranberries. To
drain the one we speak Of would require
u watertight levee made by cutting n
ditch about it and throwing up the peat
for an embankment, inserting tidsgates
on all the natural water courses that in
tersect it. This would doubtless in
volve a considerable outlay but the pro-
duct Of that land, when once reclaimed.
would soon pay it back with the biggest
kind Of interest.
