Maine election, held last Monday. The
republican plurality was only a fight

years ago, and does not show the gains
they were confident Of getting in that
manufacturing locality. All the forces
OF the party were masse6 to make q
grand showing in Maine; nothing was
left undone to bring ont the full re-
publican vote in order that they might
have great gains in that state eto en-
courage the faltering and balfaboozle

BLAINE's defense of trusts is sought
to be excused by saying that probably
he had not read the Chicago platform.
How does that improve matters? If he
had not seen that precious mosaic and
did not know that it condemned trusts,
SO much the worse for him. For in
stead of playing the demagogue and
pretending to accept it as the authoEitive
expression Of his party, he spoke his
honest sentiments unwittingly, and
thereby gave himself dead away. Jim's

the acts of the democratic board of

matter of their action concerning the is

HOW Elephants Disport Ihemselves.

The elephants had their bath and a game
of ball at the Geological garden the other
day. Empress and Jennie with shrill trum-
petings dashed into the big pool and enjoyed
themselves like two schoolboys out for an
afternoons swim. Empress was first in the
water, and Jennie soon jumped in after her
companion They rolled over and over,
climbed on each others backs and plunged
together below the surface, coming to the
top with snorts of delight and shooting out
from their long trunks great streams Of
water. Keeper Pondergast stimulated the
sport by casting two inflated bladders into
the pool, with wlich the elephants sported
for long time, catching them and throwing
them at each others heads. When the
keeper thought that the fun had continued
long enough he prodded the unwilling beasts
out with a long pole Then he threw a score.
of inflated bladdeIs on the brick pavement
surrounding the pool, which the elephants
pounded with their feet until all Of them had
been exploded, proceeding in which they
appeared to see almost as much sport as in
their bath.-Philadelphia Record.

The c.,rnrhino Of suicide.

New York city was shocked few days ago
| by strange suicide in one Of our leading
hotels. the motive assigned being the inability
OF the one who took his own life to provide
for his family And yet he killed himself
rather than stay by his loved ones and do
what he could for them This is so illogical
that the temptation is to explain the deed on
the theory that the suicide is necessarily in
sane.
But we doubt if it is just to take such a
charitable view Of the case. The less subtle
explanation is more probably the true one.
In almost every instance suicide springs
from cowardice. The self murderer dares
not face the consequences of his own faults
or he shrinks from the hard duties that ac-
company his life The choice he makes may
be unreasonable to the point of absurdity
and even madness, but we need not refer the
act to insanity, nor is it so regarded in law
unless there is evidence introduced to prove
unsoundness Of mind. Very properly the
law regards the suicide as a criminal, and it
may be added that generally he is a very
mean one.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser
