way. must appear in business es-

This means that it will first appear
where there is steam power constantly en-
ploved. where engines of energy and steadi.
ness sufficient for generator are running
day and night. Take the Commercial office
as an example. We could run machine
at little expense. as We keep up steam, and
could easily use it on the generator and
the cost OF copper wires for diffusion
throughout the house would not be enough
to intimidate one So II we can get sup
ply of Mr.. Edisons lamps and a generator,
we will be glad to make the experiment OF
the luminous horseshoe, keeping for while
the gas pipes in the house, as we keep on
hand now asupply of candiesticks in view
of the possibility of accidents in affairs that
are complex.
The Gazette says: In fifty-nine years
sixteen persons elected to office in Maine
have been refused certificates by the Gov
ernOr and Council, because of defects in the
official returns. This is an average of about
one case in four years But this year thir-
ty-seven defective returns have been found,
and thirty-Seven members elect of the Leg
islature-all Republicant-refused certifi.
Gates. All this under the Con-
stitution and statutes" 1t is not
in evidence that any Democrats
properly elected to seats in the Legisla-
ture were denied certificates, because OF
the misspelling of Selectman's name or
the sealing of package of ballots at the
wrong end. Gov. Garcelon and his Coun-
Gil, who have had the boldness to put this
nefarious business through, can not mysti-
fly the public mind with long statements of
Details or cover up the real nature OF their
crime with special pleading. They have
undertaken to overthrow the will of the
people, as expressed at the polls. That.
under the popular system of government
is revolution. 1t is also believed by
some persons, and those not OF
the ignorant classes, that the near con-
junction of the four great planets Jupiter,
approaching their periheiia, or the points
in their orbits nearest the sun, and will be
in conjunction, or nearly SO, next year,
may involve consequences affecting the
weather. and so produce effects detrimental
to tue crops and t. health. The orbits OF
these planets are of almost incaculable
size, especially those of the twn last men,
toned, and so they will occupy apparently
the same position up to about 1885.
1t is about two thousand years since all
four planets have occupied the same
position. Three of them, however, reached
their periheiia in the sixth and Six
teenth centuries, and Jupiter reaches his
perihelinn about once in twelve years.
Statistics and history are reported to show
that the epochs of these appearances have
been accompanied by an unusual preva-
lence of epidemics, extremes OF heat and
cold, freshets and failure Of crops.-The
European papers declare that the recent
attempt to blow up the railway train near
Moscow, upon which the Gar was
passenger, awakened horror among
all classes of Russians. From these
the Nihilist conspirators must be ex-
cepted. They actually issued proclama-
st. Petersburg, only three days after the
failure Of their plot in " hich they express
the hope that their friends will not be dis
heartened; ''once again point to Alexan-
der ii as the persontcation Of a despicable
despotism, of all that is cOwardly and SAN
culinary" They thus use language that is
at least equally applicable to themselves.
They add that his whole reign has been
lie; fourteen murders rest ON his con-
science. There is tyranny everywhere, and
his only way of escape from vengeance is to
resign. Assassination Is thus avowed to be
one of the objects of the Nihilist move
ment.
The Enquirer says: A Republican mob in
Bangor, headed by the foremost Repnbli-
cans of that city, and melted by the fore
most Republicans of the Slate, Oh Thurs
day prevented the execution OF all order of
the Governor of the State by street vio-
lence. The gentlemen engaged in this
movement were prominent Republicans,
but the short name of them is mob. 1t is
not anywhere denied that the Governor
of the State and the Council,
commanded by law to pronounce
upon the returns, have acted in obedience
to the Constitution and laws of the State;
J and thus when Republican mob appears
| in the streets of Bangor and forbids the car
rying out of an Executive order, and en-
i, deavors to intimidate the properly consti-
tuted authorities, and when throughout
tie State there are threats of Republican
violence in consequence Of the action OF
, the Governor and Council, the Republican
t party of Maine, headed by its leaders, chiel
of whom is Blaine, appears in the form ol
: mob to override the Constitution
' and laws Of Maine. Defeated by the
forms of law, they have advertised theil
intention to win by violence. and Bangor
initiates the violence. LeMoyne ere
r mating furnace should be let alone. There
: are enough cases. arising from various cir
: cumstances, when incineration is preferred
to burial, to justify the maintenance Of
+ one crematory in the country.-Memories
are recalled of the night of terror when .
Lake Shore train went plunging into ic'
: and flames at Ashtabula by a somewha
similar occurrence on the Chicago and AL
Q ton Railroad last night. Fortunately th'
t roll of the killed and injured by the latte
n is not nearly 80 large as VITA the forme
one, but still it is shocking enough.
