Why There is Discord.

Ii is urged BY representative organs of
the Democratic party that the conduct OF
that party in respect to vital public questions
is in the last degree foolish. Ii is Quarrel
ing al. the time abou, Civil Service Re
form. about the tariff. and abou, the silver
question. By quarrelng thus, it beth
weakens and disgraces itself, fails to carry
out its pledges to the people, and renders
the success Of the Republican party hereaf-
ter altogether probable Ii the Democratic
leaders would develop some real policies.
and If the party would stop quarreing and
concentrate It's efforts upon such policies,
the organs think it would be much more
likely to succeed.
TINS is true, but what better could be ex-
pected The party is what il is. 1t quar-
rels about the most vital questions Of pub
lie policy, because it does not agree. Ii APP
pears 10 be two, because it is not one. A
great many Of It's members are sincerely and
jealousy in favor of "a clean sweep" be-
cause t1ey imagine every Republican is
rascal they want the public service thor
oughly reformed, and in their ignorance be-
lieve that i, cannot be done except by the
agency Of Democrats occupying all the Of
fees At the same time. some other Demo
Gratis believe in Civil Service Reform, and
know that the service has been more pure
and efficient under the later Republican Ad-
mInistrations than ever before. Being hon
est, these elements do not agree. Again,
some believe that every duty that protects
is robbery" of American industry. In
their ignorance they conceive that the tariff
is the great cause Of industrial and CONNER
cial depression. Being sincere and earnest,
these press their conviction in season and
cut Of season. and hold that no man is or
can be a good Democrat or true patriot
who hesitates to uproot any and every form or
degree Of monopoly" BY which. it is said.
the few are helped at the expense of the many.
Other Democrats. having broader knowledge
or broader heads, know better. These as
sincerely believe that il would be ruinous to
the country. and especially harmful to it's in
dustries. to tear down the protective system.
How is il nossihIe for these peonle TO agree

men stand in the very front rank of
business and social position. and all of
them have taken no inferior standing in
their adopted homes
Sullivan's children aud its children's

The New England Fair at Bangor.

Tuesday morning there was heavy fog
overhanging the city and MapIewood Park,
but the weather prophets all predicted that
the day would be fine, and so everybody
was prepared to see old Sol break through
the mist and the clouds TO roll away. BY
10 o'clock there was wide expanse of blue
sky and everybody smiled and looked
happy.
The early morning trains brought big
crowds to the city, and the streets begun to
fill up. At an early hour the familiar sound
of: "rhis is the way to the Fair Grounds.
Jest eoin,'" sung out merrily on the air.
At the Park the faces of the exhibitors
were beaming with smiles. and if there was
little mud to walk through no one needed
ii. Everyone took look at the horses and
cattle; then some looked at the game of
base bali, and many listened 10 the able adj
dress of Hon. George b. Loring. the Pres-
dent Of the New England Fair.
The cattle department continues to grow
until it is now simply enormous, nothing
like il ever having been before seen in the
Eastern part Of the country. Among the

Mormonism in Maine.

SO We really have Mormon apostle in
Maine, AMI he has gone to work in earnest
to make Mormons of Maine farmers and
their wives and daughters. He claims that
one man of prominence has been baptized in
the Mormon faith. He holds large meetings
in school houses.
Something new always takes, whether it is
a new idea or new bonnet, new dish. a
new breed of sheep, new style of pants, a
new minister or new religion. II takes
peoples curiosity but not always their
affection.
II seems that the farmers Of kewry, have
had considerable curiosity to see this MOI
mon priest, to hear him preach, to talk with
him, tG see what manner of man he is. Some
of them have shown him a little attention.
have asked him to ham and eggs and given
him bed of genuine live geese feathers.
They have done it not because he is a Nor
mon, but because he is a fellow citizen.
He has succeeded better in that role than in
his vocation OF proselyter.
1t is no sign of Mormon revival in Maine
because man and brother coming to this
State finds the latch string out, and crowd
of people go to see his performances. just as
they would go to see mermaid or any other
unnatural or natural curiosity. -Leciston

Intelligence from Clay Cour, House
West Virginia, says a strange disease has
broken out, and is raging there with right
full effect among the inhabitants, who are
rapidly becoming panlcsiricken. The To-
cality in which the outbreak occurred is in
the region along the valley Of Sycamore
creek, heretofore an exceptionally healthy
part of the State. The Weekly Progress
says Every hour brings the sad in,elli-
gence Of more victims to the fatal scourge
that is PLAYING havoc with life in Sycamore.
4 score of those attacked have died in the
greatest agony a few hours after seizure.
AT first it was thought 10 be tlux. but now it
is believed to be another and more fatal NAL
ady. 1t is confined chiefly 10 children,
who are attacked and die in few hours,

Heart-rending Scenes.
TEN THOUSAND PERSONS DROWNED DUR
ING THE RECENT FLOODS IN CHINA,


Details of the destruction in Canton,
China. and its vicinity by the recent great
transform there, have been received. The
flood was the most serious which has visited
Canton in thirty years. More than 10000
persons lost their lives, and a far greater
number are left in starving condition.
Entire villages we're eDgulfed. and the rice
and silk crops in the vicinity were almost
ruined. The price Of rice has been raised
Is per cent. in consequence OF the loss Of
the crop. The rain fell the latter part Of
June, filling and OVERLOOKING all the rivers.
Many of the streets of Canton were flooded
for week. At So nj City the water broke
through the city wall. 1t is reported that
several thousand people were drowned there.
The embankments Of the river were broken
in numerous places and the water swept
ecross the surrounding country, carrying
everything before it,
\ foreigner who was an eve witness of
the scenes Of the devastation, reports that
one night the boat he occupied anchored
near bamboo grove. b, morning the
water had risen to the tops of the bamboos.
At other points it rose as high forty feet
in the night. The inhabitants fled from the
villages and eamped on the hilsides.
AT Kun In, market place situated near
the embankment of one Of the streams con
nected with the river which brings water
from the north and west rivers, the majority
OF the inhabitants were drowned by the
water breaking through tbs embank melt.
Some escaped to piece Of rising ground in
