A drop from the candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presidency, for
which he was an aspirant, to a nomination
for the Lieutenant Govenorship of New
York was little more than the inordinate
vanity of Mr.. Roswell Pettibone Flower
could stand and so he has declined the latter
honor Mr.. Flowers withdrawal from the
ticket will withdraw very large and we'll
filed barrel and that is all. But that is a
good deal and it is not strange that frantic
appeals are making to him to reconsider his
determination.

How to dispose of the superfluous pauper
population in the different countries of Eu-
rope has long been a perplexing problem
The United States was considered an eligi-
BILE haven until stringent laws were enacted
in this country against pauper, importation
and ship load after ship load was turned from
our shores. Belgian authorities have recent
ly decided to try new remedy, and the
country is now preparing bill authorizing
the sending of all paupers to the Congo
country as colonists, aiding them for time
in procuring livelihood The plan seems
extremely wise and worthy of imitation. In
carrying it out double purpose will be
served. Belgium will be relieved and the
Congo will receive an accession of popula-
ton, however desirable in other lands.

The New York Mugwump press calls upon
its Mugwump constituency to support the
administration by voting for Davenport, the
Republican candidate for governor. As long
as the Mugwumps endorse the administra-
ton by voting the Republican ticket the Re-
publicans are not likely to find fault. 1t is
doubtful, however, if the administration will
take kindly to that kind of endorsement.

1t is recalled by somebody that when Mr..

A RELIC OF THE PAST.
Boston Transcript.
The hazng at Princeton College, which
has resulted in the dismissal of several soph-
ignores, calls for prompt and decisive action
on the part of the faculty. The freshmen
who have been the victims of the outrageous
conduct of the sophomores refuse to diyulge
the names of their tormentors, and the work
of detecting the offenders is consequently
difficult But President McCosh ought to
leave nothing undone in his efforts to sup
press this blackguardism that shields itself
| behind good clothes and influential names.
The day for systematic hazing in any leading
American college has gone by.
THE REMOVAL OF MR.. PULLEN.
Bangor Whig)
We suppose that Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton re-
CARDS as part of the great work of civil ser
vice reform the removal of the Hon. Stanley
| T. Pullen from the office of Surveyor of the
Port of Portland for the crime of being
Republican, and the simultaneous appoint
ment of the Hon. Bion Bradbury, whose
name has figured and whose voice has been
heard in every Democratic State convention
Eaton and Geo. W. Curtis and James Free
man Clarke will instantly perceive the dis
tinct Reform favor of this change, and
hasten to offer up additional oblati0ns to the
great Civil Service Reformer in the White
! House.

By the Presidents letter to Mr. Dorman B.
| Eaton light is shed upon one feature of the
present administration which must have
puzzled good many observers of all shades
of politics. We refer to the noticeable con-
trast between Mr.. Cleyeland's pronounced
inclination toward policy of sO-called re-
form which should exceed the present law
upon the civil service, and the retention in
Office of such a Jacksonian Democrat as
Adlai E. Stevenson. Ever since his own APP
pointment, this latter gentleman has been
turning out Republican postmasters and put
ing Democrats in their places in manner
wholly at variance with the notions of the
Mugwumps. And yet he remains the leading
assistant of the Postmaster General We
should say that Mr.. Clevelands expression
of a reasonable liberation for old preju-
dices" probably Acoyers Mr.. Stevenson's
| case.

The Hon. William l.. Putnam, in COM
munication to Mayor Deering, presents two
schemes for the reorganization of the Port
land and Ogdensburg Railroad Company.
They are published elsewhere 1t is hoped
that every citizen of Portland who feels an
interest in this matter will study thoroughly
both these plans, and make known his OBJ
iections, if he has any, to either or both of
them and also indicate his choice between
them. The time to discuss proposition is
before its adoption 1t does no good to
growl afterwards.

The removal of Hon. S. T. Pullen from the
suryeyorship is SO glaring violation of the
Presidents reform professions that even the
Mugwump Boston Herald is constrained to
condemn it.

Right on the heels of President Cleveland's
letter in which he vouched for the devotion
of his cabinet to civil service reform, comes
the removal by Secretary Manning of Mr.
Noerr, the chief of the division of captured
and abandoned property. The office is one
which new man cannot satisfactorily fill as
experience and familiarity with its records
are essential qualifications Mr.. Noerr,
though a Republican, was not an active par
tisan. No charge is made against him. He
is sympathy dismissed because Democrat
wants the office. Probably Secretary Man
ning's devotion, like the New York Demo-
Gratis, is confined to reform in the abstract.

This is a Year of Danger

With the threatened advent of cholera among
US, behooyes every one to check at the outset
those little ills which, neglected, become prostra-
ting diseases.
Cholera finds its victims among the debitated,
worn out, and weakly, and those of sensitive
stomachs and poor digestion.

Now after about 1000 residents of Montreal
and probably as many more in the outlying
towns and villages have succumbed to the
small pox the health authorities have made
vaccination compulsory, and are going from
house to house, inoculating the inmates
The authorities hesitated to adopt this plan
earlier for fear of riot There will very
likely be strong protests from the French
and possibly some physical resistance, but
the English have got their blood up and gen.

Secretary Manning has written letter to
District-Attorney Dorsheimer asking him to
give his attention to what he terms ''a very
defective and very scandalous condition of
affairs respecting the examination of bag
gage of arriving passengers lat the port of
New York. and the criminal payment of
money to inspectors of customs by such pas
sengers." There is no doubt whatever that
the abuses Of which the Secretary speaks
have grown to extensive proportions in New
York. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Dorsheimer
will be able to leave the office of his news
paper long enough to look into this matter.

DOGS. SCENT.
Tho Faculty Modified by the nature of the
Land Crossed.

Land Crossed.
Whatever may be the ma tural scent
ing properties of dog. ii; is certain
that great deal depends urnn the na-
ture of the land crossed. When hounds
run over some of these undr;I ned sedgy
fields so often found in the neighbor-
hood of brooks or rivers. tt.ey can gen.
erallv push their fox: but drained and
dressed land is not so favO rable. Then,
again. as far as the fox is concerned, it
is common idea that he>leaves Il better
scent behind him if he be found and
well hustled in covert before making
for the open. than if he steal Off unper-
ceived. in which esent the scent is said
to be Indifferent Flu rther. the scent
fails when a fox is getting beaten:
hence, when fox starts up wind, and
is hardly pressed at .'the outset, he not
uueommonly reaps :sl advantage when
hc turns down win d, for the twofdld
reason that the sc ent is fainter, and
what there is is bio, sn on in advance of
the hounds. That scent is shifted by
the wind no huntin & man needs to be
told, and we once saw a striking in

were in Burnham b eeches, whence the
deer ca,oe away into' the open, and ran
in the shape of a let erS. A minute or
two later the pack came out of tie
wood and, there being, side wind, the
hounds ran letter $, as the.stag had
done, but about sixty yards to the left
of the deer's actual line. Whether the
scent of an animal comes from the
contact of the feet with the ground.
orfrom the whole body, is not an ascer-
tanned fact; sOme> say that the breath
has something to do with it. In the
case of the fox and hare the body
theory may receive support; but with
deer, those who s:y that the tread
leaves the scent haves Il certain amount
of reason on their S ide. as the body is
