Democratic Editors Address.
From the Baltimore News.

The address is calm. patriotic and timely, and
should have full weight with the voters of the state.
Local questions of grave Importance are to be
handled, but towering above them all is the cleo
ton Of two United States Senators, prize seldom
presented, aud one which the Republican party of
the country will lose no trick 10 capture. The ed-
tors of the state see the importance of this campaign
and rightly estimate the significance that will attach
10 Democratic defeat They utter, therefore, timely
warning to the people to be not diverted or led
astray by plausible political thimbleriggers, who,
pretending TO be solcltous friends, are seeking TO
belray them into the hands of the opposition.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The appeal of the State Democratic Editorial AS
ISOLATION Is both earnest and timely.
1.-THE Democracy of the Union," says the address
will await with deep the result Of the con-
test lin this stae) for it hopes to gain control of the
Senate in 1893 in order that the legislative branch
Of the government well the executive shall be
in Democratic hands, 80 that there shall be no bar
riers to the work of reforming The public serice abol
shing useless offices, lessening appropriations,
keeping taxation within constitutional limits, and
restoring the to that simplicity designed
by It's founders and uniformly practiced before the
rise of the Republican party" That is programme
sufficiently advanced to meet the views OF the most
progressive and uncompromising reformer in the
ranks OF the Cleveland Democracy. Brethren of the
rural press let ms try to live up to it. and not only
preach Il but but practice It, Upon such PLATFORM
and with the proper candidates to represent it, a
Democratic victory in this state ought to he abso-
lutely assured.

Brown for Governor.
From the baltimore County Union.

\ correspondent writing from the upper end Of
the county says IAN simon pure Democrats in the
9Th district are in favor of Frank Brown for Gov
ernOr"
FROM the Havrc de Grace Republican.
From ihe tone of the press in all sections OF the
state It Is self evident that the Hon. Frank Brown is
the favorte for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. That he is the strongest man before the
people yet named for the nomination there is no
question, and say what you please about the mana
gers wanting this man or the other man. the shrewd
politicians. and there are none more so than those
who are at the head of the dominant party in this
state will always endeayor to keep ell rapport with
the people and in doing this the nomination OF the
Hon Frank Brown by the Democratic party would
seem TO be an assured fact and his election would
naturally follow.

Architectural RECORD.


Senator Farwell, of Illinois, proposes, after
his term Of office expires, which will be next
March. to devote himself to the scientific
work OF try Ing to produce lain by the firing
OF cartridges Of gunpowder or nitro-glycerine
high up In the air. During the .last session,
Congress appropriated two thousand dollars
for carrying on experiments of the kind, but
Senator Farwell does not intend to limit
himself to this small sum, and will, IL lneces-
sary, contribute from his own pocket such
sum as may be necessary to complete the trial
to his satisfaction. The main fact on which
the theory of the experiments is based is
the circumstance that heavy cannonadipg is
often followed, after day or two, by rain.
Acting on this observation, attempts have
been made at intervals, during the last hun
dred years, to produce rain by firing cannon,
and producing conclusions of the air in other
ways, but without much success. Senator
Farwell. however, says that, during the con-
struction of the Central Pacific Railroad
through the arid region east of the Rocky
Mountains, where great deal Of blasting
was necessary, 1t rained every day that there
was blasting. For this reason, he thinks
THAT sharp explosion of nitro-glycerine,
produced high up In the air, would be more
effective than cann0n-fring near the ground,
and he proposes to send up balloons In the
dry portions of Western Kansas and Color
ado, furnished with torpedoes and slow
matches, by which he hopes to obtain con-
cussion extending for fifty miles in every
direction. Although 1t cannot be said that
the scheme gives very great promise Of sue
cess, 1t will be interesting to see the expert
ment tried, and even partial success would
be of great value. If the farmers of Color
ado and Western Kansas could get a shower
once week, by sending up torpedoes every
/ day, the result would be we'll worth the
trouble, and there Is plenty Of reason to sup
pose that such artificial showers, by foster
ing the growth Of vegetation, would in time
produce the conditions which lead to regular
showers, and the consequent permanent es-
tablishment of fertility throughout the region
to which the process is to be applied.

The Eastern Maine Insane Hospital is
among the applicants for portion of the
states bounty. Mr. Porter Of Bangor. in the
House yesterday. presented an order Great
ing joint committee to take charge Of mat
tiers pertaining to this new hospital. The
standing committee on finance is made a
part OF the joint committee, a fact significant
of the nature of some Of the measures likely
to be introduced in behalf of the Bangor in
stitution. As there is no doubt of the need
of more room for the care of the insane, and
as site has been already selected under
resolve of the Legislature. an appropriation
will probably be recommended by the joint
committee. The state can spend its money
certainly to much better advantage on a
hospital for the insane at Bangor than on
general hospital at Lewiston.

A petition which came before the Legisla-
ture one day last week, and was referred to o
committee with many others without attract
ing particular attention, prayed for law to
prevent the maintaining of gates over public
roads. The petition calls attention to a
custom which prevailed in the days of the
fathers when there were no saw mills in
what is now the State of Maine, and fences
had often to be constructed OF logs at great
outlay Of labor. In those days, where a
road ran through tract of pasture land, it
was the custom instead of building fences
along each side of the way. to fence in the
whole tract, placing gates a points where
the road entered it. And in some towns
these gates remain to this day, where they
have become nuisance so that the legisla-
tnre is asked to enact law to open them for
all time.

not wholly pleasant, for 1t proves too clearly
the tendency Of the unassimulated element

years immigration through the port of New

about 400 900 per year since. Two-thirds of

The people are beginning to understand
what the movement for the repeal of the
pigeon law SO called really is. 1t means
that a cruel sport shall again be legalized in
Maine by which pigeons which have been
thrown into the air from continuance
which somewhat resembles the toy known
as Jack-ic-the-box, are used as targets by
men stationed with shot guns some distance
away. This practice was forbidden by law
In Maine some years ago. Judging by the
number of remonstrances which are appear
ing at Augusta the majority of the people
think its enactment was an act of wisdom
which should not be undone.

Ex-Governor Plaistea is another Democrat
who takes no stock in the alleged election re-
form bill introduced by the Democratic rep
resentative from Waterville. He says a
similar system wasitried in Massachusetts in
Know Nothing times and failed, and adds
that unless something better is offered. the
Clason bill has the support of every honest
friend of ballot reform. Evidently the ex-
Governor does not consider the Hon. Simon

form" and he is probably right.

The independent Providence journal is
mistaken. 1t says: while the Republicans
OF Maine cannot, Of course, make an open
attack upon the ballot reform bill, which is
pending In the legislature of that state, they
seem disposed to assail it, indirectly, to the
full extent OF their power. The bill itself is
an excellent one, substantially the same as
the law here In Rhode Island. But the Re-
publicans are proposing to amend it In a way
that would reduce the contemplated law to
the unsatisfactory state Of the statutes in
Connecticut and New jersey" We beg
leave to assure the Providence Journal that
the bogus reform measure presented In the
legislature to antagonize the Australian or
Massachusetts system was presented by a
Democrat and prepared by Democrat. A
very few Republicans are disposed to assail
the measure, but the great majority, so far
as We can sec, favor genuine ballot reform.
