The republicans are very much dissat-
istied over the Vermont election. Of
course the republicans carried the state,
bat by considerable less majority than
four years ago The loss is estimated at
about IA per cent. Should a like ratio
prevail throughout the union Cleveland
would have an enormous majority in the
electoral college. Yet, with ali this the
Vermont election is not fair test of the
republican disaffection toward Blaine
The people of Vermont were not voting
for president, but for governor, and it
is not known that there is the slightest
dissatisfaction with the party's manage
ment of state affairs. No doubt thou>
sands of republicans supported their state
ticket who cannot be induced to vote for
Blaine The prospects for clean demo-
cratic sweep were never better than now
Each day brings news of more defections
in the republican ranks, while the democ-
racy makes corresponding gains. If the
stampede from Blaine keeps up until Nos
vember, Cleveland will carry every north
ern as well as southern state.

NO FUSION.

There has been some talk of the dem.
ocracy of Illinois following the example
of their Michigan brethren in respect to
fusing with the Butterflies. 1t seems to
US that there is one objection to that
arrangement in this state, which would
render it impossible of accomplishment
even if otherwise desirable. The state
convention has already been held, and
outside of that body we know of no auth
Ority with power to make such an ar
rangement as suggested. Certainly that
authority is not vested in the central com
mittee. 1t is itself aature of the state
convention. 1t would be an unheard Of
usurpation of power if the committee
should take upon itself to withdraw any
portion of the electoral ticket and sub
stitute men who would vote for Butler
candidate whom, since his causeless
bolt, democrats regard with the greatest
loathing. The democracy of Illinois
would absolutely refuse to ratify any
such bargain. Nothing could induce
them to vote for Butler electors. Almost
to a man they would scratch the name of
Butler candidates and vote the regularly
nominated electoral ticket. Fusion may
be all right in Michigan, but the dem
ocrats of Illinois are not reduced to any
such desperate straits.

THE Maine election takes place on
Monday, and the country will languishly
turn its eyes in the directions of the Pine
Tree State. Of course it will go republic
can; no one expects it to go otherwise.
The republicans claim that they will be
perfectly satisfied if ROBBIE, their candi-
date for governor, gets 10000 majority.
We are glad to see that they are not very
hoggish in their claims. By the way the
doodle" has been distributed around til e
stumps in the old state, we should sup-
pose the majority would be no less than
10000. Blaine, with all the best speakers
in his party, have been bowling and paw
ing the air in frightful manner for the
past month or more, but whether this will
increase the republican majority or dis
gust the people will be learned after the
votes are counted. The magnetic inhu>
ence of Blaine has drawn all the money
out of the republican campaign fund, I'M
til there is not money enough to buy pos
tage stamps to distribute the campaign
lies, but whether he can draw voters in a
like manner remains to be seen.

Deuouncing French Intrigue.

MADRID, Sept 6.-The morning paper:
are very bitter in their accommodation Of
French intrigues in Morocco, and assert that
the visit of NJ Blondel, secretary of the
French legation at Tangiers, and the shereet
of Wazan to Ainhamra, has for its object
the stirring up of rebellion in order to in
duce the sultan to consent to q rectificatior
of his eastern frontiers. The object
of France is to push the
French frontier line to the Moluya
river and the Fgnig oasis. thus giving
France.a commanding positionin the heart Of
Morocco and ON the principal caravan routes
leading to Fee and the interior of Sahara.
This scheme would be a terrible blow to the
aspirations and interests of Spain in Morocco
and the papers call on the Madrid govern
ment to protest against the action of NJ
Blondel in visiting the rebellious village OF

Sequels Of Disease.

A disease is often followed by other
diseases OF more-resulting di-
rectly or indirectly from the first sick
ness. Sometimes these come from the
debility that caused the first disease,
whereby inherited or other tendencies
Dain power to develop themselves.
Thus malaria, fever, diphtheria, or
even severe cold, may give rise to
consumption-which might otherwise
have been delayed for years, or, per-
haps with care, wholly escaped.
Sometimes these secondary diseases
are due more directly to the primary
disease. They are then caused either
by the destructive effects of the first
sickness, at different points of the sys-
tenn; or by the clogging of the eimin-
ating organs with great quantities of
debris; or by the inflammation of these
organs through the stress put on them
by the excessive work of elimination.
1t is to these sequels of disease that
physicians apply the word "sequele !"
They are often more dangerous than
the original disease.
One of the familiar sequele of
measles is Inflammation of the eyes,
sometimes of very persistent kind.
Another is consumption.
A frequent sequela of diphtheria is
paralysis, which may last for a year or
more. That of typhoid fever is some
times a congested condition of the
bowels -the latter not fully healing
from the ulcers that characterize the
fever. The patient should not there
fore dismiss the doctor too soon.
One of the sequele of scarlet fever is
rheumatism And as the latter often
gives rise to heart-complaint and pleu-
risy, so these last are also among the
sequele of scarlet fever. They may
come on either during the progress OF
the disease, or during convalescence.
They may even be overlooked at the
time, to reveal themselves-esp
heart-complaint-perhaps years later.
Still another sequele is kidney com.
plant chronic or acute-and varying
from slight Inflammation up to Bright s
disease. A child may have had a mild
attack of scarlet fever and be wholly
over it, apparently doing well, yet sud.
denly die from total inaction of the kid.
neys.
The ablest physician may not be able
to prevent such result. But he, an6
and he alone, is aware of the hidden
rocks, and any thoughtful person car
see that it is vastly safer to let him
pilot the case.-Yoath's Companion.

A MISSING TRAIN IN sERviA.
a Distinguished Party on Board
and Fears of Foul Play.

BELGRADE, Sept 5.-Much alarm is felt
here over the serious detention of
the inaugural train on the new line
between Belgrade and Nisch, which was
built for the purpose of opening
railway communication between the Balkan
peninsula and Nisch. The distance is only
100 miles, and nothing has been heard of the
train for ten hours. The Servian govern
ment ministers, the directors of the road,
and axnumberiof attaches Of foreign govern
ments, together with many prominent
persons, were on board the train. The
non-arriyal of the train at Nisch,
at which place it is several hours overdue,
taken in connection with the wrecking of the
train on Monday on which the king and
queen of Servia were to proceed to Wles-
baden, has caused grave fears that this train
has met with a disaster.

SHOOTING TO KILL.
How the Lewis Family Was Deci-

The Current Crime at Columbus,
OhfO-Deiiberate and Cowardly
Observation-Disclosures Case of the
Same In Maine.

BAILEY, Ga, Sept e.-Two negroes were
killed at Appling distillery, six miles from
this place, Tuesday night Dave Lewis and
Andy Lewis brothers, and Ben Lewis were
employed to work for the above distillery,
and arrived near the distillery on last Satur-
day evening Ben Lewis and Dave Lewis
got into row, during which Ben shot at
Dave, but missed him, the shot taking
effect in and upon Dawes wife, who was
standing near by, killing her. Ben immedi-
ately left, swearing that he would take
Dawes life before he left the country.
Tuesday evening about o'clock Dave heard
a noise like some one creeping near his
shanty, and suspecting that Ben had re-
turned for some violent purpose, grasped
his gun and went out to reconnoiter
at the same time placing another
negro who was in his shanty in the
door to keep watch Dave had proceeded
but short distance, however, when two re-
ports of gun were heard in quick succession,
and he was seen to fall Upon examination
it was discovered that Dave had been shot
through the head with seven buckshot, and
that the gun which he had in his hands had
not been discharged.
Next morning Ben was also found dead
about seventy-tive yards from the spot where
Dave fell, having been shot in the breast
with gun A double-barrel shotgun was
also found in the hands of Ben, one barrel
only having been discharged. This direful
coincidence is explained by the fact that
Andy Lewis, Ben's brother, lived about
thirty steps from where the killing occurred;
that he was in his shanty just before the re-
ports were heard, and that he was not to be
found this morning. The superstition is that
Ben shot Dave and that Andy Shot Ben
