The comments of the Boston Herald upon
the elect ton are very amusing. In the Her
AIDS opinion the election of Russell, who is
personally very popular and was aided by
the disaffection of some of Crapo's friends,
is solely a sign that Massachusetts condemns
the Republican tariff policy. The fact thai
all OF the Republican ticket but the Govern
or seems to be elected, and that the tariff
was by no means the only issue discussed
seems TO have escaped the notice of the Her
aid completely. In turning from Massachu-
sets to Ohio we find another instance of the
astonishing perspicacity of the great ''inde-
pendent" newspaper of New England.
There the very author of the McKin ley bill
was the candidate, and he himself and his
bill were the great issues Of the canvass.
Yet the Herald sees in the victory Of Nc
Kinley no reference to the tariff whatever.
1t was simply decision of the Ohio voters
on the silver question, although the Herald
knows as well as anyone that Governor Camp
bell was about as much opposed to free
silver coinage as is Mr.. Mckinley. The truth
about the Massachusetts result is that Gov
ernor Russell is a brilliant and popular
young man, born politician and at the
same time man of culture and social ac-
complishments. These varied qualities have
enabled him to get strong hold in city
like Boston, and through Boston's vote be
has carried the State. The rest of the
Democratic State ticket is defeated. Lieu
tenant Governor Halle, who is also able and
popular, is reelected, and this fact, used as
the Herald uses Russell's reelection, would
be sign Of Massachusetts, condemnation
of Russel's tariff views.

There couldn't be any Democratic ROSTERS
paraded for Nebraska yesterday. The
Democratic nominee for Judge of the Su-
preme Court refused to stand, and so the
Democrats concluded to let the Republicans,
Prohibitionists and Alliance folks have it
out. In Kansas and Nebraska the Alliance
troubled the Republicans greatly; but it
nearly wiped out the Democrats

so many awfully hungry Democrats in In.

Battle Fields and Victory, by Willis j
Abbot. New York Dodd, Meade g. Co. !:
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon. In
Battle Fields and Victory Mr. Abbot bias
continued the popular history of the war
which was begun with Blue Jackets of '61
Battlefelds of 81, etc. This latest volume
takes the struggle from the accession of
Grant to command until the surrender of
Lee. The Red River expedition, Wilderness
campaign. Buffers expedition, Shenandoah
campaign, Sherman's march to the sea. The
New York riots, Thomas's fight at Nash
vile and the final scene at Spots ylvania are
described in an entertaining manner, with
out attempting any elaborate minuteness
such as characterizes works like that of the
Count of Paris OF course the value of a
work of this sort as contribution to history
is very little; but for familiarizing people
especially the young. with the events of tn e
great conflict it will serve an excellent pur-
pose. The illustrations. both numerous and
spirited, will be especially attractive to the
boys.

Inc Franco-German War of 1860-'7l. BY
Field Marshal Count Helmuth Won Moltke,
translated by Clara Bell aud Henry w.
Fisher. New York: Harper & Brothers;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon. Won
Moltke was the great commanding figure of
the Franco Prussian war, as Grant was of
our own War of the Rebellion. For nearly
half decade before Louis Napoleon declared
war, Won Moltke had been making plans for
that very event. The painstaking and
minute nature of those plans was most as
tonishing When the French armies ad-
vanced on the Frontier all the German EN-
peror had to do was to sign the order for
war. This set in motion the vast machinery
organized by Moltke for assembling the
armies. All the Bodies of soldiers had the
most minute directions as to their different
starting points, the day and hour of depart
ure, the duration of The journey, the refresh
ment stations and places of destination. OF
course, after the war was once fairly begun.
prearranged plans could not suffice. Yet
Moltke had provided his army with careful
surveys of the French territory, and had un-
doubleday studied out the plans for the cap
ture of Paris. 1t might be expected that the
account OF war by such a commander
would be OF surprising value and interest.
OF great value, it undoubtedly is. But its
interest must be confined largely to the
students of military affairs. The narrative
is plain and compact, and a splendid man
enables the reader to understand everv
movement. The story is sometimes en-.
livened by quiet and apparently unconscious
satire at the incompleteness of French prep.
arations and the magnifcence of the EN-
peror's expectations. But those who expect
In this history anything like the Memoirs of
General Grant will be disappointed. The
latter work will be classic, read by men
and women with delight years after that
time when we expect wars to be past. Won
Moltke's work will be invaluable In the
reference library of the historian, but will
be entertaining reading only to those es-
pecially interested in military tactics.

A 0pisudid Session.

The Grand Lodge of Good Templars
which recently convened ut Lewiston
was well attended and numbered among
its members many Of the best known
temperance workers of Maine. more
harmonious session has never been
known In the history Of the order. There
was, too, manifest increase Of per-
sonal devotion 10 the cause of temper
snce and deep-seated feeling that it
was everywhere gaining ground among
the people of the State. Very general
satisfaction was expressed at the grand
work accomplished In the Legislature
by Senator Stewart of York. and he was
warmly commended for the stand he had
taken and the good generalship
he had shown. The temperance praise
meeting Wednesday evening was large
ly attended and very enthusiastic. A
feature OF it was ringing speech by
Hon. Melon Dlngley, Jr., who reviewed,
somewhat In = reminiscent way, the
magnificent growth and progress Of the
order. He spoke, too, of the encourag
ing growth Of temperance sentiment
among the members OF Congress, where
at the present time forty-six members
Of the lower branch alone are total absti-
hence men, and where temperance ques-
tons are treated with respect where
once they were derided. Mr.. Diugley
was given such an ovation by the men,
bers Of the Grand Lodge as showed very
forcibly the high esteem in which he is
held by the temperance workers of this
State.
An excellent delegation was selected
to represent the Grand Lodge of Maine at
the session OF the Sovereign Grand
Lodge to be held in Scotland In May
There is every reason to believe that all
Of them will be in attendance upon that
great gathering. In all respects the
Good Templars Of Maine have reason to
congratulate themselves upon the har.
mony that prevailed throughout this
session OF the Grand Lodge, and the
cheering evidences presented that the
cause Of temperance Is marching stead
lily onward.

The Inhabitants Of a Cheese.

DIR. Adametz, a Swiss scholar, has been
taking a census of the inhabitants of a
cheese The microscopic examination of
one ''grann" Of a fresh Emmenthaler
cheese. such as Is sold under the name OF
Gruyere, contained no fewer than $1,000
SO called microbes. This prodigious en-
canlpment, after seventy days. proved to
have increased TO tribe of $4,000. An
other sort of cheese contained within a
single "gramm' board and lodging for
about two million microbes, while in
"eramm" cut from the rind of the same
cheese Dr. Adametz found about five mill
ion of these inhabitants A piece of cheese
upon our tables, of a few pounds weight,
may consequently contain more microbe
inhabitants than there are human inhab-
tants in the whole world.
