Engineer Locke has traced the recent ep- idemic at Adams, Mass, to the water supply. He cites numerous instances to prove that the water was the sole cause of the trouble, and shows that nearly every body who was pointed out as not using the town water, al- though sick, had been in the district and drank the water. He locates the impurity in an old mill-dam through which the water passes, and says he found it full of decaying vegetable matter which gave forth an offensive odor perceived at some distance from the pond. That, he thinks, was sufficient to cause the outbreak, in connection with the peculiar weather which had prepared the people for the epidemic.

 One great advantage the Republicans ar, likely tohave after the next congress, willresul from their control of so many legislatures ii Northern States. This gives them an oppor tunity to gain several members by piling ul Democratic majorities in few districts, whil, Republican majorities are spread out ove many districts. This process is called Gerry mandering" from Eldridge Gerry, Democra elected Governor of Massachqsetts in 1910 ane under whose administration the congressiona districts were arranged after the census Q ls10. To keep the federalists from gaining congressman, one nortbeastern district wa cautiously carved in tue shape of bird, ant g cartoon, first printed in tbs Salem Gazette gave wide currency tc the new term of politi cal reproach.

PETIrIONING FOR CANNON's ExPUL.
SHAN

George Q. Cannon, Delegate to Con-
eress from Utah, is shining light in
the Mormon Church. He is a polyga-
mist, and has four wives and about
twenty children. The Ladies anti
polygamy Society of Utah has sent to
Washington for presentation to the
House of Representatives in which
Cannon has a seat as representative of
Utah, a memorial giving the names OF
his wives and the number of his child
rem, and asking that he be expelled.
Though Cannon is guilty of crime
which, if committed in any State in the
Union, or any Territory except Utah,
would consign him to the penitentiary,
ne is permitted to retain his position as
Delegate to Congress without objection
or remonstrance, except that just made
by society of Gentle ladies in the
Territory which he represents in Con-
gress. He is guilty of violating a stat
ate enacted by Congress, yet with APP
parent inconsistency, that body recog-
nizes him as Delegate, and the Gov
eminent pays him salary as such. 1t
is not probable that more than one of
his quartet Of wives accompany him to
the. National Capital, but proof that he
has three more in Utah. can be readily
obtained. The President ought to en-
force the law against polygamy or else
recommend Congress to repeal it, as it
does not look well for t., General
Government to wink at the violation of
a statute for the punishment of crime,
and Congress ought to expel Delegate
Cannon for openly defying it's authority
and violating law which, if enforced,
would consign him to the penitentiary.

THE SITUATION IN MAINE.

The Fusionists have succeeded in or
ganizing both branches of the Maine Leg
islature. The Republicans, with the ex-
ception of Eugene Hale, withdrew in a
body from both Houses, but, as the
Fusionists had quorum, they recon
sidered there action and asked to be
sw6fn IN. An immense crowd assem-
bied at the State House and the CORR
doris, committee rooma and galleries
were thronged with people. Members
claiming seats in the Legislature, with
ond without certificates, were admitted
to the floors of both Houses until there
was perfect jam. The Senate promptly
voted to refer the cases of the counted
out Senators to a committee with in
structions to report Immediately A
resolution was also adopted TO appoint
a joint committee of both Houses to in
vestigate charges Of bribery and intimi-
dation alleged to have been attempted
ON members of the Legislature since
yfley received their certificates. Two
Fusionist members charge that they re-
ceived $1,000 each from the Republi-
cans TO absent themselves from the
Legislature and in proof of their asser-
tions produce the money 1t is prob
able that the difficulty arising out of
che action of the Governor and Council
IN canvassing the votes, will be ami
cably settled by the Legislature, and
chat those who were legally elected will
be given their seats regardless of the
action of the Board of Canvassers.
