WHILE the responsible editor of the New
York Commercial Advertiser was at Bar Harbor,
last week, basking in the presence of Mr.. Blaine,
of whom he is an earnest supporter, the funny
editor got in his work by writing what he fat
tered himself was humorous article To the
casual and careless reader of this editorial it
appeared that the allegiance of the paper was
transferred to Butler, and even closer study
failed to detect concealed joke There was a
joke there, however, but it is said that when
the funny man got dispatch from his chief,
saying Contradict the Butler story, and here
after labelyou jokes, even he was unable to ex-
plain coherently just where the laugh came in.
Until the campaign is overhe will probably avoid
politics and confne himself to tame but safe ice
cream or plumber species of humor.

torn up, and the latter are much more incon

NJ. DELIGNY, who has under him 1000 ope-

engineer since ISIS, states that he has never
been able to ascertain that any one engaged
in the mining industry with which he has
been so long connected had died of cholera.
The health Of the mining population IS excel
lent. and deaths from zymotle diseases are rare
among them. NJ. Deligny also mentions that
people Of rank and wealth at Madrid ana
other parts OF Spain have engaged every
available lodging about the copper mines. He
stated that the immunity from cholera IN the
Swedish copper mines is so notorious that IN
1864 and 1885 the royal family and court went
to live in the Phalun mines, where there was
not single death from the epidemic.
IRON PYRITEs have in recent years become

when copper pyrltes are employed IN this pro-
cess. The present methods leave, however,

"a I.essens nnd Eads.

1t has not been made public with just
what success Capt. Eads is meeting in
negotiating his ship railway bonds in
London. The indications are that he will
succeed in his enterprise, but he is doubt
less partially handicapped by the canal
which NJ. de Lesseps is digging through
the Isthmus of Panama.
1t was thought that the great projec-
tor of the Suez canal had raked into his
strong box about all the money in Europe
that could be obtained for constructing
a direct passage for ships from the ATTAIN
tic to the Pacific. NJ. de Lesseps is con-
sidered one Of the leading fnanciers and
diplomats of the age. The reputation he
won in bringing success to the SUez enter
prise made the Inauguration of the tnan-
ces of the Panama canal COM
paratIvely an easy matter. 1t is
stated. however, that he labOrs under the
disadvantage Of not being a thorough
civil engineer. This misfortune may prove
of more consequence at Panama than it
was at Suez, and apparently wellfound-
ed rumOrs have been circulated that this
last grand ship canal would certainly
cost many millions Of dollars more than
the original estimates.
Eads' idea of building a ship railway
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec was
at first looked upon by a very large and
influential part of the world as the scheme
of visionary crank, but when the result
of the application Of his jetty system at
the mouth of the Mississippi, and his
other feats of engineering, and the fact
that short marine railways were already
in successful operation at nearly every
shipyard in the world, were considered
his plans at once commanded the conf
dence and respect Of all intelligent people.
Eads is a much younger man than De
Lesseps, but he is not only, like the dis
tinguished Frencbman, great fnanc1er
and diplomat, but he is perhaps the lead
ing civil engineer Of the age. There is
little doubt that he will soon rise by sheer
merit to the position Of distinction now oc-
cupied by De Lesseps.
Only more money is needed to make
Eads' enterprise an assured success.
Eads' financial ability is gradually over
coming all difficulties, and there is fair
prospect that the ship railway VIII De IN
operation and paying dividends long be-
fore the canal will be navigable. Capt.
Eads thinks the railway will pay for
itself before NJ. de Lesseps can float
ship from ocean to ocean. If the railway
should outstrip the canal and the predic-
ton Of its builders prove true, Capt. Eads
will at once assume the position now oc-
cupied by De Lesseps, and the latter will
be relocated to the secondary place.
The fact that the estimated cost of the
railway is only One-fifth that Of the canal
speaks volumes in its favor. The pros
pect of paying good dividends out of
So, GOO ditch in competition with
sl5. 200. 600 railway would not appear to be
very f1attering, hence as soon as Capt.
Eads gets money enough TO complete his
enterprise. Panama canal stock may be
expected to be thrown to the bears.

The nInine Election.


The most intense interest centres in the
election which takes place in Maine to-
day. Governor. 4 Representatives in Con-
ress. Legislature, and county officers will
be chosen, and. proposed prohibitory
amendment to the constitution Of the
state will be voted upon by the people.
For Governor there are 5 regularly nOmi-
mated candidates in the field: Frederick
Robe, Republican, the present incum-
bent: John B. Rodman, Democrat; Hosea
B. Eaton. Greenbacker; William f. Eaton.
Straight Greenbackera and William 7. Eus-
tbs. Prohibitionist. The present Repre-
sentaUives in Congress are all Repuoli-
cans. and have all been renOminated. The
several candidates to be voted for are:
Dist ReDu5Tioaa. Democrat.
4. Thomas b. Reed g.. Nathan Cleayes-
?. Nelson DmEley, Jr David X hastings
4. Charles 4. BOutelle John +. Lynch
The Greenbackers have nominated
Samuel Jewell in the First district and
Wilder W. Perry in the Second district.
It is conceded that the Republicans
will carry the State, but the question as
to what the majority will be is an all
important one to Mr.. Blaine. Being the
Republican Presidential candidates own
state. under ordinary circumstances, 1t
would be supposed that it would give
large Republican majority on account OF
the effect such a majority would
probably have on the November elections.
1t appears, however, that many Repuoll-
cans in Maine, as elsewhere, are not al
mirers Of the Plumed Knight, and, al
though extraordinary efforts have been
made by a thorough canvass TO arouse
the enthusiasm Of the party, there are no
strong indications that the Republicans
viii make any important gains over the
average Of their majOrities, even if they
should hold their own.
The Republican majority in Maine in
1868 was 27,7O4, in 1872 it was 32,355, in
1876 it was IL, S14, and in 1880 it was i, 46S.
The Republicans claim that they will
to-day carry the State by at least 10000,
but it is doubtful if they do so well.
Without counting anything for the
unknown and perhaps inappreciable
strength of the Greenbackers and Prohibi-
tiOnists the Republicans may count them
selves fortunate if they get ma
iority Of 10000. Anything under $1,000,
however. would be almost equivalent TO
a defeat, for it is pretty certain that the
State Republican ticket will poll ma
terfaIIy larger vote than Blaine and LO-
gan viii get.
The Maine Democrats have not con-
Quoted a very vigorous campaign. 1t is
feared they have neither been as
earnest or as enthusiastic as they might
have been. The Democratic National Com
mittee has done nothing in that State so
far as the public is informed. 1t is known
that the Republican National Committee
has sent thousands of dollars and many OF
the best campaign speakers in the party
to Maine, but with all this, and Mr..
Blaine himself making occasional
speeches and directing the canvass, the
Republicans seem to have had up hill
work.
The State Committee Ofeach party have
been doing some very good work, though
the Democrats have doubtless relied toe
much on the disafectiOn in the Republi-
can ranks

Kee1r shoots on His Gnn.

1t has been nearly ten years since that
remarkable Philadelphian, Mr.. Keely, be-
gan work on his alleged invention. he
has succeeded in having it pretty well
advertised by means Of occasional inter-
views with eagerreporters, and the adverse
criticisms of the intelligent press. He has
shown especial talent. not TO say genius,
in drawing towards himself a consider
able number Of men who appear TO have
had more money than brains, and who,
charmed BY the wonders Of his sO-called
motor, were induced TO take up the stock
Of the joint company about as fast as the
photographers could print the certificates.
1t probably mattered little whether the
stock was taken at par or at 10 cents on
the dollar, at any rate Mr.. Kelly has
managed to get along very we'll all the
time he has been at work on the engine.
Several dates have been set for the
touching of Of the machine, but there
was always something wrong about the
generators, the yibratOrs, the harmon
izers. the pipes or the valves, so that the
power of the ''etheric vapOr' could never
be obtained in its marvellous intensity.
In fact,it seems never to have been able to
move anything but the tongue of the in
ventor, and to remove the funds about as
fast as they were covered into the treas
ury.
The motor has not yet moved, so far as
the public is informed, but on Monday
night Mr.. X. gave an experiment with
his "etheric vapOI" which as
tonished the natives. He used
it for prOpelIing several leaden bullets
from the barrel of a blunderbuss or some
similar weapon. The bullets were driven
through a wooden board and fattened out
against an iron plate. Now he proposes
TO exhibit and test the gun on the govern
ment range at Fort Hamilton. His stock
holders are said to be delighted. Perhaps,
however, most of them would sell out their
stock should a favorable opportunity
offer.
1t is likely that we shall not hear much
more about the motor deception. If the
thing can be turned into a gun it may do
something after all, especially If it should
be loaded with grape shot, well rammed
with wads composed of the stock certif-
Gates he has issued, and if it should be
fred into the Atlantic.
