THERE WILL BE three State elec-
tions before the Presidential election
in November. The first one will be
in Maine, in September, the other
two in Ohio and Indiana, in Octo-
Der. Until recently it was supposed
that Indiana, under its new consti-
tuition, would vote for Congressman
and State officers in November, as
nearly all of the States now do, but
by decision Of the Supreme Court
of Indiana, recently, that amend
ment was not ratified. Indiana's
prominence looms up again. She is
once more an important October
State.

THE Spirit Of Jefferson says that
Mr.. Lucas will have seventy or sew
enty-fye votes in the Congressional
Convention, and will thus be the
leading candidate. This may be so.
We have not mingled in that fight

but the example of the late national
Republican convention teaches us
how fallacious were the calcula-
lions and estimates of the leading
aspirants when brought to the test
of the actual vote.

The census enumerators of Utah
found themselves perplexed when
they came to put down the Nor
man women. They didn't know
whether TO enumerate them as
single or married women and
wrote on to bother the depart
ment at Washington about 1t.
The functionaries there got around
the matter by advising the emu
merators to set down the women
according as they themselves shall
report. The department seems to
have an idea that even the Nor
man women would be likely to
know whether they are married
or not.

A Texas jury has acquitted the
desperate Currie on the ground of
insanity. There Is not a reasona-
BILE doubt that the killing of P0r-
ter, the actor, was as brutal and
unprovoked q murder as was ever
committed, and the failure to con-
Wet his assassin will ever remain
blot on the Texas judiciary.
Perhaps when he kills a Texan or
two the courts down there will see
the propriety of hanging him. In
the meantime the result OF the
verdict will be to impress upon all
strangers visiting the State the
importance of being well armed
and shooting first.
