THE CHANCES.

This is the last issue before the fnal
event of the campaign. 1t is our last
chance TO speculate in regard to the
success of either Of the leading partie:
in the contest. Mems opinions are de-
termined somewhat just now by then
wishes. Democrats and Republicans
alike look out over the field from their
respective standpoints and make prom
inent whatever circumstances seem to
make in their favor. Let us look at
the field from a republican point OF
view. The contest viii center in three
or four states. New York, Indiana, n.
Jersey and possibly Connecticut. From
what now appears the Republicans can
feel pretty sure of Connecticut. New
Jersey is more doubtful, the democrats
claim it. The prohibitionists, it is now
thought viii win votes enough 10 throw
it into the hands of the democracy
Both parties claim Indiana. There
has beess-u sharp fight in that state.
The democrats would be highly gratifed
to defeat Harrison in his own state, ,and
the republicans are hoping that state
pride will help them some in the mat
ter, but at the same time they are re-
laxing none of their vigilance. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew has been looking the
ground over in that state. He says
there is more politics to the square inch
in that state than in any other part of
the country. But he thinks it sure for
the republicans. Information has been
by means of thorough can
vass to the effect that there are 10000
young men in Indiana that viii vote
for president this year for the first time
40, 900 of these are sons of veterans
who will vote the republican ticket.
an some of the northern counties
it is estimated that 80 per cent of the
new voters are republicans. 1t is esti-
mated that the gains from this source
alone would give the state to the repub-
licans by about 5000 majority. This
same element must be taken into the
in New York. The Times
counts upon 10000 majority for Cleve-
land in New York city. But to carry
the state the democrats need a larger
margin than this TO work upon. We
learn from parties travelling through
the state, democratic in their sympathy
that the odds are in favor of the repub-
licans. They place it upon the ground

The symptoms of Biliousness are un-
happily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
4 Bilious man is seldom breakfast eat
er. Too frequently, alas. he has an ex-
cellent appetite for liquids but none for
solids of morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time; if it
is not white and furred, it is rough. at all
events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or fiatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the stomach.

1t is clear that matters look favorable

Of things that have worked in its favor
through the canvass. These things, we
believe have more than balanced the
advantage which the democrats possess
through being in possession of the gov

been made. A clean ticket was put in
the field. The democrats could tell no
lies about Harrison or Morton that
would stick. On the other hand, the
want of success of the present admins
tration has told against it. Its persist

The Dairyman's Association is an
applicant for state aid The officers
have claims to present in its behalf
which they think entities it TO receive
state aid. In other words, they profess
to believe that every citizen of the state
should pay something to help support
that institution. Now, we believe that
that Association is a good thing. The
object it has in view is a proper one.
Our dairy interests are source of the
prosperity of the state. We have no
fault to find with its officers. So far
as we know its premiums have been
distributed in just manner. 1t may
have done much to improve the quality
of the butter in the state. But why
should the state aid it? 1t asks for one
thousand dollars. What does it pro-
pose to do with the money? Does it
intend to salary its officers! If the Of
ficers of such societies receive salaries,
it is usual to provide for payment with
in the society itself. Does it intend to
expend it in premiums? Entry fees
ought to pay these in all cases. Does
it require it to pay for printing? The
newspapers of the state would publish
and essays as matters OF
general interest and for the public good,
without cost to the society. We can
hardly see why any money is needed
unless the society proposes to enter up
on business career, and in that case
why should the state aid it!
We are in hearty sympathy with the
purposes of this Association so far as
we understand them. But we do not
believe the state should grant it any as
sistance.
Various reasons occur to us which
leads us to take this position. In the
first place we dislike the tendency it

STATE EXPENSES.

4 spondent, in another col
umn. calls for a halt in voting state
aid to so many different things, and
incidentally takes ground against the
Vermont DaiTyman's Association
whose friends are asking for the small
sum of $1,000 to be expended almost
wholly in publishing the reports Of
their valuable meetings. This associ-
alton ranks among the best in the
country, and farmers who have attepd-
ed its meetings say it is doing great
and good work. 1t has never asked
state aid, although Vermont i pre-em-
inently dairy state. lts meetings
are always addressed by nen who are
among the most successful and practi-
cal dairymen in the whole country.
All who hear them are profted there
by, but many, maDy farmers cannot
attend the meetings owing to lack of
time, expense etc. This appropria-
ton is asked gor, that all can have a
copy of the reports of these meetings
and thus oe benefited, as well as those
who en- attend them. The bill ought
to AID viii pass.

Ii is only claimed that the wheat crop
Is one-sixth short. A little more use
of other food will balance this shortage.
The fact is flour has been cheap and the
people have grown into the habit Of US
ing it freely. A slight failure gave the
spectators an occasion to boom it, and
one bolder than the rest made corner
in it. As natural consequence con-
sumption willdecrease with the increase
in cost, and the result viii be to settle
it back to old prices. 1t is an unfortu-
nate thing that it should come into the
power of one man to exact tribute from
every man in the country upon the food
that has become a necessity.

Why should application be made to
our legislature to incorporate the Me
aragua Canal Co.,? is question that
inyoluntarily springs up in the mind in
connection with the application for a
charter for such a company. Congress
should properly grant such a charter,
but adjourned without doing so. APP
plication was made to our legislature,
doubtless because one of the leading in
corporators is a resident OF this state.
The company can be put into working
order under state charter, aud then
it can be made national by charter
from Congress. a little amusement
was created the other day by the intro
duction Of resolution in relation to
