The first of the cases, "assumpsit," was
heard on demurrers OF defendants couu.
sci, A. Is. Hagner. The points raised
were of great Importance and involving
close decisions. Defendant filed two de-
murrers. John Thomson Mason, counsel
for plaintiff, argued that the defendant,
an admiral in the navy, was out of the
Jourisdictlon of the State during his resi-
dence within the Naval Academy. This
was was a question of ceded territory,
largely treated in foreign and American
cases. He was followed by Charles j
Bonaparte, counsel for same, as to the

General Devens has just received letters
from Governor Rice and other promi-

forming him that careful canvass of the
State shows that Buffers defeat is newt

vigorous canvass, and would poll large
vote, but was glad to learn that he would
be defeated, that his election would
bring to the surface a very troublesome
element in politics. His defeat now, it is

THE Maine Democrat, after an existence
of nearly half a century, has discontinued
publication. 1t was established in 1929, and
! .sr,%ii---i4hin- a fow years has been tolerably
successful. As the mouthpiece OF the De-
mocracy of York County it has always en-
joyed consideration. Not few attempts
have been made to displace 1t by other journ-
ais, but having a strong hold upon the affec-
tions of its constituency it easily conquered
its rivals. After having defeated all who
disputed its claims to the favor of the York
Democracy it has committed suicide. While
owned by Alpheus A. Hanscom it was rec
ognized organ of opinion. For the last few
years it has been the subject of many expert
ments, mostly unsuccessful. The removal
from Saco to Biddeford, designed to promote
the interests OF Congressional aspirant, was
unfortunate. From that time forth it was
never quite well, though it did some good
work, and for portion of the time was ably
edited. 1t sang Its swan song last year, after
it passed into the hands Of Mr.. William S.
Noyes, and was enlivened by the brilliant
contributions of Mr.. George B. Goodwin, now
of the Boston Post. Since that administra'
tion ceased it has had no excuse for being,
and wisely recognizing this has put an end to
| its existence. Its suspension leaves the
Democracy of York County without an
| organ.

The Italian Agitation.

That modern Don Quixote, Garibaldi, has
started on new adventure. This time un-
happily he is not preparing to do battle for
the liberation of oppressed peoples. He is
merely ministering to the Italian desire for
more territory. While he was fighting for
national unity and the freedom of an ensaved
country, he commanded the admiration of
lovers of liberty throughout the world. But
as the champion of territorial extension, as
the instigator of movement to bring alien
races and strange lands under Italian rule, he
has no claim upon our sympathies. His call
to the men of Trieste to take to the noun
tains will provoke ridicule instead of praise.
Why should they flee to the mountains
They are prosperous and well-governed under
the rule of a country which is at least as near
to them in blood and in all material interests
as Italy. The fact that Trieste once belonged
to Venice furnishes no reason why it should
now belong to Italy. AS good claim could
be made 70 Cyprus, or to any of the old pos
sessions of Genoa. Unless Italy claims the
exclusive possession of the Adriatic she has
no reasonable pretext to extend her jurisdic-
tion to its further shores; and claim of that
nature can only command the sympathetic
support of Italians. Nor is the movement
for the possession of part of the Tyrol
worthier of praise. The Tyrol Is essentially
German, and has more than once taken up
arms in defense of its nationality. Even in
its Southern portion which Italy covets not
more than third of the inhabitants are Ital-
ians. The agitation to which Garibaldi lends
tion for the liberation of misgoverned or dis
contented peoples; it is manifestation of the
love Of dominion which possesses the Italian
as it does other races. Did this revolutionary
movement have for its object the regaining of
Nice, the cradle Of the Savoyard race, terri
tory distinctively italian, it might command
our sympathies.
| There is no reason moreover to believe that
| the annexation of Trieste and the Southern
| Tyrol is greatly desired by the Italian people.
The agitation is solely due to the old parti-
sans of Garibaldi who dislike piping times ol
| peace, and to few democratic enthusiasts ol
the school of Mazzini. 1t is part of the
| creed of these men to hate Austria hatred
for which they certainly have good reason
and it is her humiliation quite as much as the
advancement of Italy that they seek. The
people generally appear to take little interest
in them or their objects. The Government,
certainly gives them no encouragement. 1t
has from the first taken an admirable course.
allowing the greatest freedom of discussion
and attempting to place no restrictions upon
expression of opinion. The liberal and far
sighted policy which distinguished the reign
of the first king of Italy is wisely pursued b!
his successor.

Now that Mr.. Wooller's fine statue is placed
in front of the Athep @lm Club house, the fol-
lowing from the London AtheI eum may be
interesting; Some months ago his excellency,
f. A. Weld, governor Of Tasmania, gave an
account to the Royal Society of that colony of
his visit to the volcanoes of Hawaii, and re
marking on Cooks discovery of the island in
177S, he stated that q tradition had existed
among the natives to the effect that "Lomo,
the god of fire, white-skinned and fair-haired,
had been driven forth, with his followers, on
account OF some iudisc Ieton into which the
natural fervor of his disposition had led him
Nevertheless it was understood that he would
one day return across the sea to revisit his
ancient abode. When the, sails of Cooks
ships we're seen rising above the blue waters Of
the Pacific, and moving shoreward, cry was
raised that Lomo, the fire-god, was returning.
