Why should not every professional or hab-
itual beggar be arrested or imprisoned? In
men, women and children regularly plying
the trade OF mendicancy, are to be met with
at every turn. There ought to be work
houses for these Migrants, where they should
be compelled to labor for their livelihood.
In Paris, we are told. no beggar is ever seen
in the streets; similar vigorous enforce
ment OF law In American cities would cause
no suffering, would promote industry and
virtue. The people who can not work do moi
need to beg from door to door; there are pro
visions enough everywhere for the relief Of
such as these; ard the energetic repression
of beggsry is the first contribution that tbs
law ought to make toward working out the
problem of pauperism.

ure 10, power Ii generated capable of
performing light work, such a. run
ming sewing machines, pumping wa
ter, etc. To run an ordinary sewing
machine requires the exhaustion OF
only as much electricity as is required

In addition to what he has accom-
plished in the way of notwithstanding
light, Mr.. Edison claims to have made
some wonderful discoveries in regard
to the healing properties of certain
chemicals which he was led to expert
ment with while suffering with the
neuralgia. a.
a slight touch of the preparations Is
said to relieve the excruciating pain
peculiar to neuralgia and rheumatism
instantly, and has been tried on nu-
merous cases at MeihO Park with the
most happy results. This, however,
Is aside fiOm the important discovery
TO which our article to-day Is devoted.
The known ability and reputation
of Mr.. Edison aud the marvellous ge-
MUS heretofore displayed by him, COM
bine to render the account of this last
discovery entirely trustworthy and re-
liable. He has worked in secret and
delayed giving any Of the details OF
his labors to the public until abund-
antly satisfied that all obstacles have
been surmOunted. On Christmas night
a public exhibition, will be given ut
MenlO Park, which, ii is believed, will
convince the most incredulOus.- =: II is
to he devOutly hoped that his caicula-
tons are correct, his faith well found
ed, and his confidence in the complete
success of his discovery based upon
principles that will stand every test.
If the experiments prove successful,
the days Of gas monOpOlies will be
ended the exOrbant rates demanded
for our present imperfect illumination
of streets and buildings will cease, and

will receive the heartfelt blessings of
his fellow men. -sf "a

the FRAUD IN MAINE.

The fraudulent manner In which the
Democrats of Maine have obtained
control of the State government has
placed them Enthusiastically upon the
record, and their proceedings will have
its full effect upon the election of next
year. The people will then unequivo-
cally express their opinion of the party
which will resort to such means to
gain victory which they sought and
lost at the polls. The fact that the
Governor and Council may be able to
defend their action before legal trib-
unal, by reason of technical errors
made by the boards of canvassers in
making out the returns, is no excuse
for them in the great crime committed
when they nullify the expressed will
of an overwhelming majority Of the
voters of the State as expressed at the
polls. The scheme was planned be-
fore the election, and, such being the
case, ii is net hard to form an opinion
as to which party was responsible for
these errors upon the making of
which the successful working of this
Observation-Disclosures plot depended.
And again, it is no excuse that they
point to the electoral vote of 1876, and
claim that, as the Republicans fraud
ulently declared Hayes elected, they
are only turning about in Maine, and
that is fair play. The electoral COM
mission was a tribunal proposed by
Democrats, supported by Democrats.
and with whose decision the Demo-
cratic party agreed to be content, and
they cannot now base right to perpe-
trate a palpable fraud upon an imagi-
nary one then committed.
