its decision This is sensible and proper,
and about the only sensible and proper
thing yet done to get Elaine out of its
MUS. The Governor, we are glad to see,
has written very sensible and proper
reply to this proposition, though not con-
elusive of acceptance. But the belief is
general that it will ultimately be ar
ranged and acted on. Better for all con,
cerned that it should be so.
We are not pronouncing any opinion
as to the right or wrong of the
Maine Governor and Council in
this matter, which their own State
laws must govern. We hold, however,
that the manifest will of the people as
expressed in their elections in any State,
should never be set aside and thwarted
by executive count and revision for any
slight and merely technical irregulari-
ties in the form of returns, that do not
effect the substantial accuracy Of the
facts returned.

telligent people of Maine will not yield

cate their State from the unpleasant di-
lemma into which it has fallen.

SPIRIT UF THE PRESS.
Tho English Papers Of This Morning.

The Enquirer says: The Democratic de-
votion to 1'the forms of law" was put to q
severe test in the last Presidential election.
Tie Democracy had majority in the pop
ular vote of about three hundred thousand
and in the Electoral vote Of thirtv-seven.
In obedience to "the forms of law" the
Den ocratic party surrendered the Presi-
dencv, the patronage of the whole Govern
ment for fonnr years. This event is without
parallel in our history in two respects-in
stupendous outrage on the one hand and in
peaceabe submi ssion to "the forms of law"
on the other. II our recollection at this
moment is not at fault, there is a
recent illustration, in parallel cleo
ton to that of Maine, of the
Democratic devotion to law. In Maine
the election of some members of.the lie. is
lature depended on the correct writing, or
printing, of names OF the candidates.
The Courts of Maine had decided, for exam
pie, that votes for E. Hall could not be
counted for Edward X. Hall, no matter
what the intention OF the voter. In the
late election in New York. State having
precisely five times the Electoral vote of
Maine, Mr.. Clarkson N. Potter was the
Democratic candidate for the Lieutenant
Governorship. There were a number Of
votes found for Clarkson M. Potter At
this moment our recollection is that a
Democratic Returning Board in New
York, in obedience to law.
threw out enough of these votes
for Clarkson NJ. Potter to defeat Carkson
N. Potter for the Lieutenant Gnvernorship.
Though Clarkson Mott Potter falls a victim
to Democratic devotion to law in the En-
pire State, the fact is beautiful piece Of
evidence, since the New York act was done
prior to the excitement in Maine-1n!er-
views with dozen prominent Republicans
of Summit County printed in the Akron
Beacon, show decided drift toward Grant
for the Republican nomination for the
Presidency. Ex-Congressman Upson and
Ex State Senator Goodhue are among those
favoring Grant. Mr.. Upson takes the
ground that Grant has conscientiously fol-
lowed what he declared to be his aim at the
beginning of his Presidential career: ITO
maintain the public credit and equality Of
all men before the law"
d. The Commercial says: America has
prodigious advantages over Europe. First
in the new land. Arising from thisare our
staples, wheat and cotton. Then we have
|"pork, beef and hides that come from corn
and the grasses. Second our mines. We
produce more gold and silver than any
other people. We have to add next in
order, petroleum. Next coal, for Europe
will presently largely depend upon us for
fuel. After that we note our forests and
mines of copper. May we add, last but not
least, the superior brains Of our farmers and
mechanics? These are overwhelming ad.

THERE is no word in the English Ian
guage, and it would be difficult to coin
term that could properly express the
supreme contempt entertained by the
people for those periodical outbursts of
virtue which for years have continued
to break forth among our police authori-
ties in the shape Of raids on gamblers.
1t is 30 apparent to the simplest-minded
citizen that every gaming establishment
could be closed and every species Of pub
lie gambling suppressed within twenty
four hours, if it were earnestly attempted,
that these raids are regarded now, as
they long have been, as the most trans
parent of shams 1t is manifest to every.
body-to the citizens, to the gamblers
and to the officers themselves who en-.
gage in these Quixotic raids-that
they are not made in good faith
and that they will not result disastrously
to the sporting fraternity, among whom
they seem to spread momentary conster.

the gaming table are deceived by such
demonstrations, but, on the contrary. are

asp~IT IS curious what implicit faith the
generality of people will pin to a popu-
lar aphorism that had its origin,
as often as otherwise, in ignorance,
and which is equally contrary
to science and reason. The old
adage of "Stuf cold and starve q fe-
yer" is case in point. The worst thing
you can do for an incipient cold is to
stuff it, and the theory is exploded that
a fever should necessarily be starved
"a green Christmas makes fat church
yard" is of English origin and old wives
will repeat it and look wise whenever
Christmas happens to be mild and pleas
ant, as happens frequently in this
country and England. Last year Christ,
mas was frosty enough to be anything
but "green" in Great Britain, but the
death rate was 4 per cent. higher
than the green Christmas of 1867, and
per cent. higher than the equally
green one of 1876. 1t is about
time that some one gave the
popular "old adages' liberal overhaul
ing for the purpose of wedding out such
of them as chance to be frauds.
