The Kennebec Journals latest state
ment of the standing of the delegates to
the Third District Convention is as fol-
lows: Milliken, 100; Burleigh, 1902; Wis
well, 81; Manley, 30. Total, 37s. The
convention will contain 381 delegates,
and 191 are necessary for choice. Ac-
cording to these figures Mr.. Milliken
lacks 81 votes of the number necessary
to nominate him. With Mr.. Manley's
delegates added land it is probably I'M
derstood that they will go to Mr. Mill
ken) he lacks but three. In this table
all the delegates from Skowhegan are
given to Mr.. Wiswell, but Mr.. Milliken's
friends claim that five of them at least
belong to him. If that be SO then Mr..
Milliken and Mr.. Marley by uniting
their forces will be able to control the
convention. The convention will be
held tomorrow, and lively times are
promised.

In view of the near approach of the
English elections. some facts regarding
the composition of the House of Com
mons that has just been dissolved will
prove of interest. A full house contains
670 members. In 1885 the Liberals, under
the premiership of MI. Gladstone, had a
majority Of 1853 over all the party groups.
The question of Home Rule caused a
large Liberal detection, which the sup
port of the Irish Nationalist under Par
nell could not make good. The general
parliamentary elections of 1886 resulted
in returning total of 395 supporters of
the Tory government as against 1879 Lib
erals and SO Irish Nationalist. By-elec-
tions in 1873 constituencies have occurred
since that time and reduced the Tory
Unionist majority. the Liberals having
gained in these constituencies 81 seats.
Similar changes in the whole house
would have converted the Tory majority
of 120 in 1886 into a minority of 80. All
the recent by-elections except one have
resulted in gains for the regular or Glad
stone Liberals. The issue in these cleo
lions is the same as 1886, Home Rule for
Ireland, and the indications are that there
will be Liberal majority of from so to
100.

The sound money Democrats are very
much worried lest the free coinage DEM
ocrats of the House will show no more
discretion than did their brethren in
the Senate when the Stewart bill comes
up and go for it with rush. The story
is that the alarm is so great that Mr..
Cleveland has been urged to use his in
fluence to suppress them. They have
good reason for their alarm, but if they
are wise they will keep Mr.. Cleveland
out of the contest, unless they are anx-
ious to make his defeat in the coming
campaign absolutely certain. The free
coinage Democrats may be bad Demo
Gratis, but they throw too many votes to
make it safe to attempt their suppress
ion.

Painless Dental Operations.

Among the thousand and one recently
invented dental and surgical appliances
is an ingenious device of French origin
for producing local paralysis of the
nerves, in order that minor dental and
surgical operations may be painless. 1t
consists Of glass tube filled with a
highly volatile fluid. One end of the
tube terminates in a closed nozzle an
inch in length. This may be broken off,
and the break leaves an orifce opening
into the tube.
Meanwhile the heat of the hand vola-
tilizes the liquid, and the stream Of
vapor may be directed against the parts
to be deadened of feeling. The parts
are in effect frozen, and the condition
continues long enough for the compile
ton Of the operation. It is asserted that
the tissues are uninjured by the action

them with those of the second session,
which are always, and necessarily so,
larger than those of the first session.
Mr.. Holman's comparison shows some
$4,000, 900 to the advantage of the pres
emit House. But when a comparison is
made between corresponding sessions
this is the showing:
Appropriations of the House,
Fltty-flrst Congress, first
Appropriations of the House. 0''''
Fifty second Congress, first
session ....... 485, SS4,775
In other words the present Democratic
House has appropriated during its first
session S42, 400, PIP more than was ap-
propriated by the Republican House of
the Billion Congress at it's first ses-
sion.
The conference committee of the
House and Senate WILL as usual, in
crease the total amount by several mil
lions. But the comparison will be SUBJ
stantially the same, that is, about $40
100000 in favor of the Billion Con-
gress. That the total appropriated by
the first session of the present Congress
will be more than S5O0,00O,0o0 there can
be little doubt
The House early in the session adopted
resolution which committed it to econ
omical appropriations, and Mr.. Holman,
the watchdog of the treasury, has been
pairing down all the appropriation bills
to the best of his ability, and yet the re-
suit is that the appropriations of this
session will exceed by $40, 100000 the ap-
preparations for the corresponding ses-
sion of the ''Billion Congress- Demo-
cratic profession and Democratic per-
formances are very different things.

commencement, and now that it was
over, college life was hardly worth
living till another Intercollegiate ball
season. 1t is argued that Greece and
Rome had their Olympic games, and
that physical beauty and manly stength
demand the culture of the body and ath-
letic contests. All of which may be true,
and yet it is not needful to turn the
college curriculum into circus, nor to
subordinate mind to matter in order to
rear handsome and muscular men. This,
my only contention, is not the complaint
of an old fogy, who cannot leap five
barred gate and has no sympathy with
the bounding enthusiasm of youthful
blood.
A recent death at an initiation in Yale
college suggests another word. What
ever may be their ideas now, it certainly
used to be the desire and intention of the
Greek-letter or secret societies in college
to choose men for their associates whom
they could respect and love, and whose
friendship would be valued possession
through future life. Anything which
would degrade or harm such a chosen
friend was carefully avoided from the
start. The ceremony which cemented
the friendship was dignified and some-
times solemn, not trivial and ridiculous,
and never dangerous and rash. TO sub
iect friend to torture or anxiety of
mind, to play tricks upon one who was
to be Il sworn colleague, to subject
"brother" to cruel and shameful ordeals,
would have been esteemed contemplate
and wicked Has the growth of athletic
sports any connection with that increase
of cruelty and folly, which has been
noticed of late in some of the UNIVERSE
ties most celebrated for their PHYSICAL re-
cords? If so, it certainly is time to apply
the pruning knife to this unhealthy de-
velopment. Such accidents" as that
which caused the Yale students death
should not be permitted to occur A So
ciety that has such a deadly programme
deserves to be suppressed, and college
officers who cannot prevent instances of
mortality like this, are unworthy of their
positions. Let US hear no more of injury
and death from hazing, initiation cere-
monies and athletic sports in our institu-
tons of learning.
Since writing the above, an account
has been published of the assault upon an
obnoxious tutor in his own rooms by
seniors. who had just been graduated
dent was killed at his initiation. such
occurrences imply more than coincid-
ence, they point to coarse and brutal
spirit in place where gentlemanly cul-
ture should be pre-eminent.
