Describing flea in the land of the
Pharoahs, an Egyptian correspondent
says: "This bird grows to monstrous
size here, and he is wonderfully plenti-
full. He carries biting apparatus with
him that is good deal like a two-inch
auger, and makes hole in you straight
to bed rock. like an artesian well, only
not so comfortable. If some of these
could be moved over into Pennsylvania
and set to boring for oil, the chap who
imported them would make millions.
If the fleas could be made to take real
interest in the oil business, they would
fetch it, if they had to 60 plum through

WHOLE NUMBER 800.
Maine.

There are two signjflca2g lessons
taught by the result id Maine.
The fist is Of the growing power OF
corruption in popular elections: There
can be no doubt that the revolt against
rule in Maine was deep and
strong This was evidenced, not alone
by the victory of the opposition two
years ago, tior by the Republican eX-
pressions of fear fof the result at the
election which has Just taken place. 1t
was shown emphatically by the "1nde-
pendent" movement, so called, which
was iuaugurated two weeks before cleo
ton, when it was too late to make such
a movement effective. This movement
embraced in its promoters some of the
best-knOwn Republicans in the State,
mefi who had been foremost in the
party couhcils and fully cognizant of
the party history, The condemnation
which these men visited through their
organ upon the Republican candidates,
upon the measures for which the party
in the State had made itself RESPONSE
BILE, and above all on James G. Blaine,
the corrupt political leader, was scath-
ing in its severity. 1t was as compre-
hensive and as sharp as any Indictment
which the Democracy ever brought
against Republicanism iii Maine, and it
had all the force of testimony from the
inside from witnesses who would glad
ly have kept silence if they could have
done So Sueh an opposition as this
could not but represent a widespread
and deep-seated disaffectiofi, which
should have resulted in the defeat
which the Republican leaders every
where outside of Maine feared and
which those in Maine expected until
within few days of election.
Yet within those few days, by the
shrewd and lavish use of money, defeat
was turned into victory. During the
week preceding election thousands of
dollars were sent to the State, presuma-
bly, from the Hubbel corruption fund.
| The discontented were appeased and
the corrupt purchased, and Republican
ism records the result as ''triumph."
So it is triumph.r But it is triumph
Of corruption. 1t is not pleasing re-
Election that the verdict of the people
can be influenced by money; but the
evidence that it was so influenced in
Maine is too clear to be ignored. Hard
| as the lesson is, it must be learned.
The other lesson of the Maine cleo
ton is that Blaine still lives. 1t has
been customary of late to speak Of him
as politically dead-to regard him as
overtaken by the retribution which
he so richly deserved. 1t was mis-
take. The Republican leaders, who
have been making up states without
any Blaine on them, will have to revise
their work. The man who has been in
strumental in si1atching Maine from the
very jaws of defeat-no matter by what
corrupt tmethods-and saving it to the
Republicans, cannot be-ignored in Re-
publican councils. Mr.. Blaine, OF
Maine, still lives, and if he continues to
live he will be heard from in the Repub-
hcan Convention of 1SS4.-Detroit Free
