Boston is already taking measures to pre-
pare for the cholera Prominent physicians
of that city met the mayor the other evening
and discussed the best means of warding off
the dreaded plague and the preparations
necessary to cope with the disease if it
should succeed in invading the city. The
general opinion of the physicians seemed to
be that the cholera was pretty certain to
cross the water next summer aud get foot
hold upon our shores-at any rate they
deemed it best to act upon this assumption
If it did not come the money spent in pre-
pairing for it would not be wasted, inasmuch
as the healthfulness of the city would be
promoted and greater immunity from other
infectious diseases secured. Maine cities
should follow the example of Boston.
Though not so much exposed they are not
secure against the cholera while other dis
eases are continually making their appear
ance in them which might be warded off by
better attention to sanitary matters. Local
boards of health composed of competent
men would be of great assistance to the State
board, If the Legislature sees fit to establish
one, and if 1t does not, they could accomplish
much good by themselves.

The situation in the Illinois legislatur re-
mains nnchanged-that is, ths Democratic
House is still quarrelling over the speaker
ship, and the Republican Senate is awaiting
the decision of the question. The Demo-
Gratis are not anxious to perfect the organi-
zation, for this once done vote for Senator
cannot long be deferred, the law requiring
that vote be taken the second Tuesday
thereafter. The paralytic attack of Senator
Bridges, a Democrat, proves very serious,
and still further complicates the situation.
A joint convention in his absence would be
Republican by one vote. To prevent such
an event the Democ rats have two means.
The frat is to delay the organization of the
House. and 30 postpone vote indefinitely,
rather hazardous plan, because it Is known
that several members will not long be re-
strained by party feeling from conscientious
ly carrying on the labors they were elected
to perform; the other method is to prevent
q quorum in joint session by refusing to an
swer to their names. 1t is proposed to Sc
cure Senator Bridges's resignation, and then
filibuster until his successor can be elected.
His district is overwhelmingly Democratic,
Apparently the flibustering can only be
stopped by a dissolution, and the Demo-
Gratis claim the governor has no power to
dissolve the assembly unless the two houses
fail to agree on date for final adjournment.
BY refusing to consider any propositions
from the Senate it is thought the House
cannot be charged with failure to agree.

Evarts's Enormous Retainer"
The Electoral Commission Matter Cost
Kim His Labor and Nearly 5000 i'm
Cash.

There has been recently some talk about
big fee which Mr.. Eyarts was said to have
received In the electoral commission matter
Here is the truth about 1t: Mr.. Egarts was
in Washington, attending to case before
the Supreme court. He was about ready to
start for home when he received call from
Zach Chandler, chairman of the Republican
National committee. aud such other men,
bers of the committee as were in Washing
ton at the time. Mr.. Chandler said to Mr..
Evarts that they desired him TO argue the
Republican case before the commission, He
inquired who was to be in the case with
him, and was told that the President-elect
desired him to take entire charge and select
his ewn assistants. Mr.. Evarts said he
would remain. Then Mr.. Chandler said:
sMr. lEyarts, our committee is poor, owing to
the enormous expense that has attended the
canvass, and we cannot offer you a very
large retainer"
"This is sas much my matter as yours"
said Mr.. Evarts. SIN fact, it is the concern
of every citizen. There need be no question
about fees. Ishould have remained without
it being mentioned. Consider that part of
Mr.. Chandler said the committee would
at least provide for his hotel expenses, to
which Mr.. Evarts assented. He was in
Washington for 30 days or mere, retaining
during that time the parlor and bedroom at
Wormiey's which he occupied when Chand-
Ter called on him. As he was senior counsel
there was great deal of comforting at
Wormley's, aud necessarily large number
of minor bills for meals and entertaining
were charged to Mr.. Evarts's account.
When Mr.. Wormley presented it to the ma
tional committee, Chandler was not about,
and subordinate complained about the
amount Mr.. Wormley told Mr.. Eyarts,
who said: "Oh, well, let them pay what
they can, and l will give you check for the
rest" 1t cost him betweenE$500 and 5000 10
make Mr.. Wormley whole. Mr.. Chandler
afterwards learned of this, and wanted to
make it right, but Mr.. Evarts said it was
already right, and refused all tenders from
the committee. This is the whole story of
the enormous retainer' which induced
Mr.. Evarts to plead the Republican cause in
1877

BY a vote of to the railroad committee
has decided in favor of allowing the Lake
Megantic Company to bridge Moosehead
Lake. The strenuous opposition of Bangor
on the ground that the scheme would unfav-
orably affect the Bangor and Piscataquis
road which is owned almost entirely by that
city seems not to have made very deep i'm
preston upon the committee. Perhaps,
however, If its case had been presented in a
different way it would have met with better
success. The intimation made at the out
set, by one of the Bangor speakers,
that the committee had been bribed by the
Lake Megantic felix's was very unwise and
could hardly fail to prejudice the committee
against the case he represented.

The organization of a State Law and Order
League to aid in the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law is q move in the right direction.
There is little room to doubt that If
the present law can be enforced vigorously
and continuously it will prove sufficient to
close all the open rum shops in the State Of
Maine. But enforcement by spurts will not
do. It will not do either to confnethe pros
ecutions largely to particular class of rum
sellers. To succeed the enforcement must
be strictly impartial as well as vigorous and
continuous. We believe that ali good citi-
zens of the State, whether believers in the
prohibitory law or not, will be glad to see it
enforced in the way we have indicated, and
will give any movement to accomplish this
end their hearty support.

The result OF the election of Senators in
France last Sunday is significant. The Re-
publicans returned 81 of their candidates,
and the Conservatives only 20, gain to the
Republicans of % seats. There has been a
long struggle by French Republicans to
bring their Senate into closer relations with
the people, and the recent change in the con-
stitution by which this was effected, seems
to have met popular approval. A republi-
can form of government in France, how
ever, does not mean what it does in this

Jeffersonian Simplicity.

Mr.. w. A. Croffut shows in commun-
ication to the New York World that the
Democrats who are expressing the hope and
belief that Cleveland will restore the White
House 10 the simplicity of Thomas Jefferson
do not know what they are talking about.
Instead of being simple and economical in
his method of living, as it has been the fash
ion for many years for Democratic conven-
tions to picture him, Jefferson was the
most lavish and extrayagant of our Presi-
dents. His journey to the capitol ON horse
back on inauguration day which is pointed to
with pride as an indication of his democrat
ic ways was the result of necessity and not
of choice. The mud was so deep that he
could not get therein any other way. Even
here, however, he made the most of his OPP
portunitles, the horse which he rode costing
$500, very high price in those days. Inside
the White House he was prodigal in the ex-
treme. He liked high living and, though a
poor man, his liquor bill each year was up
among the thousands. A diary in his own
handwriting contains page after page of en-
tries of wines purchased, barrels of rum,
hogsheads of cognac, pipes of Madeira. His
wine bill in 1901 amounted to over 81, 1900
and during the three succeeding years of his
first term it never fell to $1,000. In his Sec
ond term he was little more frugal, having
discovered that he had been making too seri-
GUS inroads into his income. His wine bill for
the eight years in which he was President
amounted to 81, 900. He was always hard
pressed for money, and even when President
allowed himself to get into such financial
straits that he frequently had to get note
shsvers to advance him his salary.
The only truly democratic propensity
which his diary develops is a propensity for
going to shows. For them he seems to have
had kind of monomania. Among the en-
tries under different dates are:
