Mr.. WALTER ALLEN, editor of the
Portland Press, gives the following
views regarding the recent election in
Maine. He says: 1.-The large and sub
stantial gain made by the Republicans
comes mostly from the ranks OF the
workingmen, who have formerly voted
with the Democratic party. In this
city, and in all the large cities, scores of
Irish citizens who were never known to
cast Republican ballot before, voted
the straight Republican ticket openly,
and were deaf to the appeals of the vote
distributors who had usually supplied
them. This does not appear to be the
work Of the organization or special in
fluences, but 1t has been noticed that an
unusual number of Irish citizens have
been attentive listeners at all Repub-
llcan meetings, to which they came, not
In clubs or groups, but apparently
drawn by individual desire to hear the
arguments Of Republican speakers,
especially those who 1t was known
made point Of discussing the tariff
question. Evidently the idea has got
abroad among these workingmen that
the tariff Is matter that concerns them,
and they show great desire to under
stand how and TO what extent this is the
case. The indications are that the at
titude Of the parties on the tariff had
quite us much to do with the transfer of
Irish votes to the Republicans as any
notion that Republicans viii take up
the cause OF ireland against England.
1t Ia probable that these causes viii
operate with much greater force In the
November election than they did last
Monday, both because this Issue viii
then be more clearly apprehended and
because the November election Ia Ma
tlonal election, untrammelled by State
Issues. l look for an increased Repub-
llcan majority In Maine in November"

TnE sudden death Of Major Joseph Il.
Dwyer became known to our citizens
yesterday afternoon, and was the topic
Of universal conversation and general
regret. Major Dryer was native of
our city. His father was, in his day,
the leading merchant Of the place, and
his mother was of that sterling stock of
pious Spaniards who first colonized and
founded our city. The Major was sent
abroad to finish his education, and re-
turned from Paris an accomplished,
travelled, gallant young gentleman, ex-
citing the envy Of the ragged boys he
had played with in his earlier years; be-
sides his good education he was a fluent
linguist and an accomplished Mexican.
Being ola genial disposition Maj Dwyer
was deservedly popular, and has occu-
pied prominent place in the eyes of
the public for many years, having
served creditably in the State Senate
and other public trusts, being member
ofthe City Council at the time Of his
death. lie was an ardent Democrat In
politics, but was always in for fair play,
and his life as public man was pure
and unblemished. In his private
life he was one of the kind
est and most exemplary of men.
To be thus cut down in the very flower
Of life, with the brightest hopes and
noblest aspirations in view, is sad in
deed. San Antonio mourns the loss of
one Of her children.

Will WHEAT ruRr 70 cHzAri

Whether or not wheat will turn to
cheat has been question for years
and years. Opinion has always been
about equally divided. Volumes have
been written on the subject. At times
the newspapers have been filled with
letters from farmers citing instances
where whole fields of wheat have pro-
duced cheat by being frozen or from
other causes. The commissioner OF
agriculture issued a bulletin in which
he took the grounds that wheat would
turn to cheat. We have discussed the
question with hundreds of farmers on
both sides. Those who disbelieve
theory say that il they could see both
grains growing on the same stool or
root they would be convinced. Until
now this phenomenon has never been
discovered. Mr.. Charles Bosseau has
in his possession wheat and cheat, not
only on the same root, but actually
growing in the same head. In several
of the meshes cheat heads are found,
and there are two cheat stems growing
out of the wheat stem and have grains
upon them. This is convincing proof
that wheat will turn to cheat, and
those who have always opposed the
theory are dumb after looking at the
convincing evidence.S-Holde,s En-
terprise.
