vile where the majority of the popula-
ton are republicans; in town of
schools where people read and think
and know that his statements are false
Such talk as MIR. Hatch gives the pub
lie is well calculated to clog the
wheels ofprogress, to blight every en-
terprise and stop immigration, and
keep Missouri away behind her sister
states whose good fortune has been to
be republican. Look at Illinois, Low a

can representatives in congress. re.
publican citizens, republican state gov
eminent and their treasures are filleC

People Who Do Not Eat Bread.
ocrats is to

The Gartenlaube has an article on
those civilized nations large portion
whose peasantry eat little'or no bread.
Baked loaves of bread are unknown in
many parts of South Austria and Italy
and throughout the agricultural dis
tricts of Roumania. In the villages of
the Obersteiermay, not very many
miles from Vienna, bread is never seen:
the staple food of, the people being
sterz, a kind of porridge made from
ground beech-nuts, which is taken at
breakfast with fish or curdled milk, at
dinner with broth or fried lard, and
with milk again for supper. This sterz
is also known as helden, and takes
the place OF bread, not only in the
Steiermark, but in Carinthia and in
many parts of the Tyrol. In the north
of Italy the peasantry live chiefly on
polenta, a porridge made of boiled
maize, The polenta, however, is not
allowed to granulate ike Scotch por-
ridge or like Austrian sterz, but is boil
ed into solid pudding, which is cut
up and portioned out with string. II
is eaten cold as often as it is hot, and
1t is in every sense the Italian peas
ants daily bread. The modern Rou-
manians are held by many scholars to
be descended from a Roman colony,
in other words to be the cousins of the
Italiads and curiously enough, vari-
alton of the polenta called mamaliga
Is the national dish of Roumania. The
luamaliga is like the polenta in that ii
is made OF boiled maize, but it is un-
like the latter in one important respect
as the grains are not allowed to settle
into cold mass, but are kept distinct
af:er the fashion of oatmeal porridge

THE MAINE ELECTION


The State of Maine sets the keynote
of the campaign with plurality for
the Republican State ticket OF 10. 900.
The legislature is almost solidly repub-
iican in both houses and every con-
gressional district elects a republican
member. The democratic journals
are trying TO break the force OF this
stunning defeat BY declaring that the
republicans ought to have carried the
state by $4,000 instead of 10000.
This is a queer sort Of comfort, and
reminds us of the old maid whose only
recreation was the attendance of the
funerals of her friends. II the democ-
racy are able to extract consolation, we
don't see why anybody should object
Doubtless next November they will re.
ioice, with US in the election of Blame
and Logan as the very best thing
that could have happened to tht
country.
Four years ago the vote at the STATE
election stood /; Plaisted Qusion) IS,

election in November the vote stood
