A VERY important conversion wai
made by the Maine republicans the
other day. The editor of the Belfast
Journal, for many years n Of the
leaders In the democratic party, hoisted
the name of the republican candidate
for governor, and says: with an ad.
herence to the demonstrated ability OF
the country to make good its pledges
a belief In its future commercial in
dustrial, moral and pslitical-with the
republican party as their best expon.
ents and exemplar-we place ourseli
with those whom we believe to be right
and pledge our best efforts to labor for
its advancement and success"
THE powers of Europe can take nc
more sensible step than that contem-
plated in the international congress to
reduce the standing armies in proper
ton to the population of each nation.

thousands of men being kept under

the point of invading the frontier. An
understanding a easily be reached,
and once all nations are on an equal
footing, peace will be more assured.
AFTER the murder wave, comes the
wave of accidents. The explosion at
the Bodie mines, and the boiler explo-
sion in Baltimore, both attended with
frightful loss of life, are fringed with a
number of lesser accidents. Death and
pain run riot in the land.
To SPEAK in local understanding, the
prince imperial is planted. Now the
world turns an eye on the leading rep
resentative of the throne in Prince Ma
poleon. Ten to one, however, he will
make a fool of himself.

that WELDON T.:4Ii. myth Jack Frost.
overcamc the desire! ing agent Of evil,
Yellow Jack.
One point that would seem to sup.
port the theory that the disease Is in
digenous to Memphis, is that while
many cities in the valley were reached
by it last year and all Of which were
doubtless i%mpregnated thoroughly with
its germs at the time, Memphis is the
first to show q renewal. All the cities
were purged, at great expense, to avoid
a return Of the exidemic. But Mem
phis, thus early In the summer is afllct-
ed. 1t seems to US, therefore, that the
point the LEADER made last fall Is
once again pertinent: Proper brains
and intelligence should be employed at
discovering the origin of yellow fever,
not what country or port it comes from.
They should try and learn under what
conditions 1t is given existence; what 1t
thrives upon. They should proceed
upon the theory that it is Inherent
in the Mississippi valley, and would de-
velop, even though a great Chinese
wall girdled our coasts. Then, perhaps,
science would arrive at a true under
standing of the disease as it should be
understood. Let there be no surcease
of efforts until eyer intelligent man
woman and child in the country knows
just why yellow fever suddenly develops;
why It continues 10 thrive; and what
agencies can crush the germs oil arrest
the full blown disease. Until these
things are known all is darkness
and ignorance. The disease comes and
goes. We know it and see its terrible
effects but know not whence 1t cometh
or whittier it goeth. No wiser are we,
as to practical results, than the poor,
blind heather who ascribe such Attic
lions to a genius, or god, of hate. To
the shame of the science Of the nine
teenth century be 1t said, that n Of
the most important of all things for
science to know and understand is un-
derstood the least.
To know is to be able to 4 v tens of
thousands of lives, and eternal ages of
misery, and prevent the slckening an
nual orgies of a hellnpon earth.

ing paragraph: "Three fellows who

Cincinnati have recently been convict
ed by the United States court. One of
them has been sent to prison for a year
and the other two have been fined.
Truth compels us to say that these
martyrs are all democrats. They went
down in the gallant fight for the free
dom of elections which we have heard
so much about of late. Like the mar
