Burnt Powder.

Maine has no mercy. Its returns come in
worse and worse for the Democrats every
day. Their distress is painful to witness.
for all their ammunition for the campaign
is spoiled by this one disaster. 1t is worth
while to consider how complete is their di =
comflure. Their ammunition was as fol-
lows:
I. "Mr. Blaine is corrupt and dishon-
est man." His neighbors, who know him
thoroughly, including among them the most
honest and intelligent people of one of the
most intellectual States of he Union, has
given to aid bin the largest majority ever
given to any candidate.
Ii. Mr.. Blaine is a Knog-N NOTHING. -
Half the Irish-born citizens of his own town
aud OF other towns in Maine, where his
whole life has been known, have exploded
that lie by voting to promote his election.
Ill. Mr.. Btdine's methods haze been so
ofensiUe that citizens must rebuke them. .
The people OF Maine, who have known all
about his methods, nail that falsehood by
their overwhelming majority.
~. Mr.. Blaine IS opposed By tremen-
doas Republican reUolt." The enormous
contributions of money by rich men in Bos.
to obtain votes against Mr.. Blaine in his
own State were as impotent as the personal
efforts OF their agents, or the tons of ad-
dresses BY Mr.. Curtis and speeches by Mr..
Schurz which we're sent into the State, The
laundering proclamation turned out to have
no voter behind it. The Democratic party
proved weaker with these recruits than it
had been without them.
v. THE Republican apathy insures Mr..
Blaiae's defeat" The largest vote ever
polled for any candidate in Maine is the an
swer. Apathy of the same sort elsewhere
will appear in due season.
vi. "Ihe tariff is not an issue; the Deo-
pie care nothing about it," In manutac.
turing state the only towns where the gains
were not amazing were those where the
mills have been closed by Democratic agita-
ton OF the tariff and where the laborers have
thus been forced to seek employment else
where.
VII. "The Republicans can get no mon
ey, the assessments from officials being
stopped The voluntary contributions
from people who do not want their indus
tries destroyed by Democratic ssreform''
seem to suffice TO put speakers in the field
and when the people hear the facts they
know how to vote.
VIII. "Ihe people aoant change" But
the change they are voting for is the ex
junction OF the Democratic party, the too
for fifty years of British free traders.
TX. Turn the rGscdls outi' The votes
show that the rascals who stole Maine few
years ago and those who tried to steal the
Presidency in 1876 by bribery, the shot gun
and cipher dispatches, and in 1880 bv vile
ISLANDERS and the Morey forgery and hired
perJurers, are "out' already aud are goipa
to stay out.

The Meaning of It.

The chief purpose of the publication of
the latest batch Of Blaine letters, and the
purpose is avowed in some quarters, is to
divert attention from the real issues of the
campaign under which the opposition forces
are rapidly disintegrating. From the incep-
ton OF the campaign the Democratic and In
dependent press, especially the latter, have
shown disposition to make the contest of
as purely personal character as possible,
not in the expectation of showing that Mr..
Blaine was an unfit man for the Presidency,
but with view of keeping out of sight 9TH
er issues, which they knew if made clear to
the voters would iueYiJably enure to their
disadvantage. The great issue of the cam
paign is the tariff, and not daring to meet
it, the opposition seek all sorts of diversions
to force it out of the canvass. If the Tnde-
pendents could only goad the Republican
press by assaulting its candidate to drop the
tariff and devote its space to discussion of
the Mulligan letters they would be thor
onghly happy. Vanquished though they
would be on the personal character question
they would have accomplished their purpose
of keeping the tariff out of the campaign.
But the Republican press refuses to ac-
commodate them; hence their desperation.
Had the Republicans consented to devote
the columns of their newspapers day after
day to discussion of the Mulligan letters,
which were made public in 1876, the
letters which were given to the public on
Monday would never have seen the light
of day. The publication of them was simply
fresh attempt to goad the Republicans
into turning their attention to the personal
character question. 1t has proved failure,
but it is not at all likely that this will be the
last attempt made. Some new scandal will
be dug up or some old one will be revamped
and until the morning of election day the
mud-slinging will go on in the vain hope
that the Republicans will be forced into con-
Quoting the campaign on issues of the
selection of the Democrats or Independents.

Gov Long whom the Boston Herald pro-
fessed to think would be staggered by the
new Blaine letters, seems to be as erect as
ever. In speech Monday night referring
to them he said:
"Did you know, that all these letters were laid be-
ore a Democratic committee of the House of Rep
rssentatves in 1875? Do you know that the letters
which bore the most strongly against Blaine were
selected, and those published today laid aside.
not by the committee but by Mulligan? The Dem
ecratic committee had every power in its hands, the
power to produce persons and papers-even those
letters published today. That committee never
made any report, and the Democrats of the Senate
four years afterwards unanimously confirmed Blaine
as secretary of state. do not care to 20 into the
matter believe the people of this country do not
believe case of corruption was made out against
man for 80 years eminent in public life under the
very headlight of public criticism, against whom
one Democratic committee made its investigation
and made no report, but abandoned the whole
matter.

The Democratic press seeks to make CAPT.
tai out of the fact that Mr.. Blaine requested
Fisher to burn one of his letters. Why this
secrecy it asks, if Blaine was not conscious
of guilt? 1t must be remembered, however,
that when that letter was written detectives
in the employ of Democrats were raking the
United States with fine tooth comb to find
anything that their own, or the ingenuity OF
their:employers, might torture into evidence
against Mr.. Blaine. This letter, though per-
fectly innocent when all the circumstances
surrounding it were known, could, he fore
saw, be easily construed byshis slanderers
into evidence of guilt. Hence his request to
have it destroyed.

Freeman E. Weeks, one of the Augusta
men who made affidavit to bribery in that
city on election day, now makes affidavit
that when he made the first affidavit he was
drunk and that all the statements in it are
untrue. Mr. Weeks is probably fair sam
pie of the men whom the Democrats rely on
to ploVe their charges of corruption.

The Kennebec Journals official re turns as
published on Monday need good deal of re-
vising. The Republican vote in Gorham is
given at AT, when it should be 4S7, and we
observe errors in several ether towns. The

piled at the Sec etary of States Office show a
plurality for Robbie of 1854. with total
Republican vote of 78, 900.

The publication of the last batch of Blaine
letters was simply an attempt on the part OF
he Independents to revive the dropping ill.,
terest in the Little Rock and Fort Smith
transactions. Mr.. James Mulligan eight
years ago when summoned before congress
sional committee did not deem them of suf-
ficient importance to take with him. They
would not be deemed of much importance
now except as means of freshening up
ISLANDERS which had become very stale.

confidential correspondence which passed
between him and Mr.. Blaine.

Black Eyes and the Future.

As the outcome of sexual selection,
blue eyes are to disappear, at least
from Europe. So predicts Mr. Al phonse
de Candolle, in his paper on heredity in
color of the eyes in the human species,
recently published in the ArchiUes deS
Sciences. In investigating the subject
of heredity, it occurred to De Candolle
that the color of the iris offered the
best outward and visible sign. 1t is
conspicuous; it can not be masked by
artifice, after early childhood it does
not vary with age, as does the color of
the hair; and the character is, Oh the
whole, distinct. For, according to
him, there are only two sorts-black, or
rather brown eyes, and blue; gray
eyes being reckoned as mere varieties
of the blue. From the working up of
the statistics, in part from series of OBJ
servations made for the purpose, it ap-
pears that when both parents have eyes
of the same color, 1874 per cent. of the
children follow their parents in this
feature; and of the 11.6 per cent. of
children born with eyes of other than
the parental color, part must be at
tributed to ativism, that is, to inter-
mittent heredity. But the curious fact
comes out that more females than
males have black or brown eyes, in the
proportion, say, of 40 to 45 or Al to SO.
Next it appears that with different
colored eyes in the two parents, $500
per cent. of the progeny follow the
fathers in being dark-eyed, and 5000
per cent. follow their mothers in being
dark-eyed. An increase of 5 per cent.
of dark-eyed in each generation of dis
colorous unions must tell heavily in
the course of time. 1t would seem
that, unless specially bred by concol-
orous marriages, blue-eyed bellies will
be scarce in the millennium.-Sc Science.
