Mr.. John +. Andrew, four years ago
Mugwump, and two years ago Democratic
candidate for Governor Of Massachusetts,.
reappears in politics this year as Democratic
candidate for Congress In the Third Massa-
chusetts district. In his letter of acceptance
Is this interesting passage, which shows the
curious position of an ardent young reformer
who fees to the Democracy for comfort:
i am proud to be the standard bearer in this
district OF the Democratic party, believing that
II is the duty of the people to sustain the vigorous
enorts OF President Cleveland to give the country
an an honest government and to take from the

IN Ine cvil service should be rapidly advanced;
deprecated silver currency should cea e.
Mr.. Andrew offers himself IN WORK for
Cleveland and for civil service reform at the
same time, which implies that he can bring
into the service right hand capable of not
knowing what the left hand doeth; pledges
himself to labor for the overthrow of the
protective system; and at the same time
which seems highly sensible of him, adyo-
Gates a national bankruptcy law, an institu-
tlon that would no doubt come in play under
system of free trade. 1t will be seen
readily that there is nothing easy in at least
one part of the task that Mr. Andrew feels
himself called upon to undertake To sus-
tain Cleveland and further the interests of
civil service reform at the same time is only
a little less difficult than that task of double
service which the scriptures pronounce i'm
possible in very forcible language.

Prof. Gibier, of the University of Paris, Is
on his way to Jacksonville, Florida, to study
the yellow fever. or the disease prevailing
there, for Prof. Gibier entertains some
doubts, apparently, as to whether it is genu-
inc yellow. The Professor has had large ex-
perience with yellow fever in Havana, and
has made many autopsies of the bodies of
victims Of that disease. He claims that it is
not disease of the blood, but Of the stomach
and intestines, like the cholera. Indeed the
microbe which is supposed to produce it
and which he has found thronging the stom
ach and intestines after death, closely resem-
bles the cholera microbe, though there are
some perceptible differences. One declara-
tion of the Professors fatty contradicts the
generally received conclusion that cold is
certain to kill the disease. On the contrary,
he says he has exposed the microbe to
temperature of thirty degrees below zero
without killing it. 1t is possible, in his
opinion, for the disease to become resident
Of a cold Northern city. Fumigation to
destroy the germ is of little use. 1t will con-
tinue to live in damp clothing notwithstand-
ing the most thorough treatment of that sort.
Absolute disinfection can only be accom-
plished by steam at a temperature of 800
Fahrenheit. Prof. Gibier has been sent on
missions similar to his Jacksonville one five
times by the French government, and has
earned the Cross of the Legion of Honor by
his services.

To test the measure and nature Of the dis
satisfaction felt by the people OF Canada
with their position, the Toronto Globe has
given an open invitation for letters on the
subject of Canada's national future.
Wednesday morning it printed five of
large number of communications which it
had received from prominent men. Each
one of these five regarded change as inevi-
table. and four of the five looked to the
United States instead of to England for the
impulse to that change. One, citizen of
Ontario, agrees with Secretary Whitney in
his estimate of the prowess of England:
Gin war with the States" says he, success
on the water would likely be counterbalanced
by loss on land, for what troops England
could spare for Canada's defence, would, if
scattered along our immense frontier. be like
sentinels, likely at any moment to be cut off
and at any moment destroyed. Thus Eng
land says TO Canada: legsate for yourself,
you stand alone" Anoth er of the correspond
ents says: I'VE are simply wasting valuable
time endeavoring to secure Unrestricted
reciprocity, for the Americans will never
grant 1t. To secure free entrance to the
markets of The 100000 people across the
lines we must be annexed to the United
States" A third says Though wishing
otherwise regard annexation as the inevi-
table destiny of Canada" and fourth de-
clares: 81 am an ardent advocate of an
Independent Canada, commercially united
with the United States" Only the fifth of
the correspondents thinks it would be posi-
bic to make Canada independent, but allied
with Britain some way for protection" 1t
is plain that while sentiment binds Canada
to England public and private interest and
the promptings of manifest destiny are
impelling her towards the United States. 1t
is unpromising for present political connec-
tons that sentiment has little permanent
influence in the affairs Of nations.

The Hon. Frank Hurd. of Ohio, still per-
sists in urging free trade upon the people
of Ohio, although in denying him the
privilege of continuing to preach free trade
in the House of Representatives, they
have expressed the strongest disappro-
baton Of his ideas. Foreign and dis
tant markets for, our manufactures still
allure him. cit seems strange" he says
In a recent newspaper article, "that
with our cotton industries complaining of a
Cutting of the market they should sell only
about two millions Of dollars worth of their
prints to South America year while Eng
land sells nearly sixty millions of dollars'
worth. II we would admit the raw materi-
ais of South America free, the only articles
with which their people can buy our goods,
there is no reason why in eighteen months
we should not take away half of this trade
which England now monopolzes." But the
farmers of Ohio cannot see wherein they are
to profit If the home market for their wool is
to be crowded with the wool of South Amer
lea also; and the Ohio manufacturers fail to
see Of what advantage it will be for them to
rob England of half her South American
trade when she Is sure to make abundant

Here is one way of crawling out of a hole.
The other day Mr.. Charles ii. Mason pub
lished I'M the Kennebec Journal an article on
wool, which contained table of statistics
The New Age took the first opportunity to
denounce his statistics, styling them the
usual misleading statistics" The Age EVIL
IDENTIFY imagined that the statistics had been
cooked up by the Protectionists. This week
Mr.. Mason points out that his statistics
were taken from special report on wool and
manufactures of wool by the Treasury de-
partment under the Cleveland administra-
ton. The Age now says that what it meant
by the usual misleading statistics" was
that they were inapplicable and did not
support Mr.. Nason's position. Mr.. Nason's
position, In the opinion of the Age, is the in
correct one. If his statistics did not sup
port his position why did the Age call them
misleading2 Why did 1t not instead Of call
ing them the usual misleading statistics"
point out that they did not support Mr..
Nasons theories, but contradicted them? 4

Hints for Actors, Landlords and the II.
y. q. People.
From the Ne1 York Aoraino journal.
Actors should not forget to take one
towel from each hotel and not leave the
soiled one in the theatre. Always al
ternate towels and towns.
Keep yourself we'll stocked with soap.
Stopping at good hotels, you will always
be well supplied, and it will come in
handy at the free baths in summer.
Don't forget to fill your match box at
the hotel office, or the clerk will not
think you're real actor. If the
matches only ignite on the box, take the
box.
Don't forget to tell the waiter he has
brought you banjo steak-steak with
strings on it,
Don't forget to growl on the train at
the advance agent for getting you up at
o'clock IN the morning when you
might take later train and miss tho
performance.
Don't forget to sing all your songs and
tell all your gags in the smoking car. 1t
advertises the show
Don't forget TO call all theatrical com
binations, opera companies or otherwise,
shows, and the people play actors--they
like 1t.
Don't forget to send up to the lady
soprano and desire her TO come Gown to
the parlor and sing, us you have some
friends who wish TO he entertained. If
she complies, ask for passes for the gang.
Don't forget to tell the company you
go by railroad time and city time as well
1t will keep them employed altering
their watches.
Don't forget to point at the ladies of
the company and make sluring remarks
about them. They are used to 1t and
rather prefer it.
