are not very common in the rivers of
China, where, in many places their
appearance is held to presage some
watery disaster. One has recently
been discovered at Chin Kiang by some
laborers employed in clearing out q
small canal. When the scales of the
monster were observed above the mud
in which it had buried itself, work at
once ceased, The mandarins were at
once informed Of the unwelcome pres
ence, and came in force to the spot,
burning incense, unsuccessfully, to in
duce the visitor to depart.

THE NEWS FROM MAINE.

Republicans everywhere will read
with a feeling of profound gratitica-
ton. and with some sense of relief that
Maine has nearly, if not quite, re-
deemed herself from the defeat of last
year. The Republican party of the
State. representing vital national
issues as we'll as sound and practical
local government, have achieved u
distinguished triumph in the great
gains over its last years vote, even if it
shall not be proved to have swept the
State completely. The election was
for a Governor, State Legislators and
county officers, and the vote was the
heaviest ever polled in the State, run
ming up to $4,000. The election of
Davis the Republican candidate for
Governor is assured. The House of
Representatives is secured and there is
no doubt of Republican majority on
Joint ballot. Returns, though not
official, show the House has 81 Re-
publican to Ga opposition the Senate,
Is Republican to 10 opposition, with
York, Oxford, and Franklin counties
to hear from. 1t was a stalwart cam

AFGHAN ISTAN.

The result of the revolt at Cabul
will, in all probability, end in the an
nexation of Afghanistan to the Indian
Empire. Massacres generally end in
that way, for men who are capable of
committing massacres have not got
sense enough to know that they gener-
ally get the worst of it. The mob
broke loose at Cabul, and as hap
pened in many other places, the
country must suffer the consequences
England has already lost too many
men and too much treasure by its wars
with Afghanistan. 1t is not the first
time that British officers were slaugh-
tered by the fanatics of Cabul. What
was the slaughter of the Koord Keyber
Pass but the result of treachery and
massa ere at Cabul ? The British
troops entered Cabul before, overthrow
Dost Mohannned and then regarded
the war us over. Dost Mohammed,
like the present Ameer, accepted the
situation, but his son Akbar Khan
head ID IL conspiracy. Sir Al exander
Burnes, MaeNaughton and several
British officers were massacred, and
the British troops agreed to leave the
country. They left Cabul, but not
Afghanistan. The story of the one
man who, out of 10000, escaped is old,
but the causes of the retreat from
CLbul in 1912 were similar to those
which we hear have occurred again
treachery and slaughter. No one
blanes the Afghans for fighting for
their rude homes. or for making a gal
liant ,Sistance to the invaders from
the south. 1t was all right for the
Afgha rs to oppose the troops sent
against them by Lord Auckland in
1853, as it was all right to oppose the
soldiers of General Roberts but those
two mass;icres look so much alike that
we cannot but believe the massacre of
to-day the direct result of the impunity
with which the Afghans escaped the
murders of 1871. A fair fight is one
thing, but the murder of resident Off
GERS is quite another affair. We can
applaud the gallantry of the one, but
we would like to see "a wholesale drub-
bling administered TO the butchers of
the other.

The Springfield Homestead has the
following timely and good advice I:
Now that the Fair season is at hand,
we wish the agricultural societies, or
rather the men who manage them,
would take an unmovable position a.
gainst admitting to the fairgrounds
jewellery and other catch-penny huck-
sters, or games and shows which are in
the least degree immoral in their ten
denotes 1t is true that the societies
generally secure a slight pecuniary
benefit from this source, but the re-
ceipts are dearly bought when the
members or their boys are swindled, or
are bro't under communicating infu-
ences. Let the fairs. be made grand
popular holidays, where the people
can come together for comparison of
stock, instruction and healthful and
sensible amusement and let the man
ayers set themselves as a flint. against
permitting them to become, through
any act Of theirs, even remote agencies
of evil"

Kalloch is certainly elected Mayor
of San Francisco on the Worl<ingInens'
ticket. 1t is believed that the majority
OF the rest of the city and county
ticket has also been carried by the
Workingmen. The Republicans. how
ever, elect Assessor, Coroner. and SUI
pelintendent of Schools. The Super
Tor Court Judges will probably he
equally divided. No doubt exists that
the Republicans have elected all four
Congressman, and although the Legs
lature is yet undecided, it is confident
~ assured that the Republicans will
be able to control both houses even if
they have not Il majority. 1t is not
yet quite certain how the Supreme
Court may stand, and the result of the
State ticket is about the same as at the
last reports, namely: Perkins, Re-
publican, leading, with Glenn, Hon.
Blk, and White, Workingman, run
ming about even. 1t is estimated that
the completion of the count will give
Perkins about 20 900 plurality.

that of Jay Gould in sending $4,000 to

1.-The Spanish Government will send
$4,000 troops to Cuba to maintain tran
quilllty." Such is the news, and we
can only wonder when tranquility"
viii be Secured" For more than
eleven years the cry of Cuba Libre has
been heard, and it was only last year
the world heard that peace had at last
been secured, and that the Cubans had
seen the useIessness of the struggle in
which they were engaged. 1t is per-
haps hard to state whether the Creoles
or the Spaniards are most to blame.
They are both incident, and whatever
progress the people have made is
neither due to the enterprise of the one
nor to the energy of the other. The
Spanish Government of Cuba has been
a failure. "Clba for the Cubans'
sounds like a patriots cry, and all
impartial minded travellers appear to
think that the cry is but the indication
of a spirited desire for independence.
witla Spain however, the policy ever
has been Cuba for the Spaniards,"
and the history of the island furnishes
the result.

The Vicksburg Miss HeraM reads a
very sharp lecture to the Southern
state-rights fanatics. We quote as
follows
""These doctrines were all discussed
millions of times before the war, and
the discussions brought on the war,
and the war settled them forever in a
common-sense, blunt, never-to- be-for-
gotten manner. 1t settled them in a
manner that any man Of ordinary
intelligence may understand. The
Union was not made as limited
partnership and one of its component
parts may not secede from it or break
it up, because the whole is greater than
any of its part. The states, for local
convenience, have all the rights and
liberties guaranteed them thatit is for
the interest of a representative central
government for them to have but in
