The Deadly Cancer.

The hope is entertained that science
may yet be able to subdue the flaming
ind deadly cancer" Recent study of
cancer may not only indicate that it is
IN organic growth, but almost certainly
proves that it is liable to the attack Of

with the relations of these parasites may
possibly bring the long sought method

Politics In modern Greco G.

The modern Greeks are fond of argu-
ment and discussion and will sit for
hours around q glass of water talking
politics. This passion for politics is in
herent. The distinction in Greek poll
tics is chiefly self interest Everybody
is a patriot, but the good of the state is
a matter of personal judgment. If M.
Tricoupis is unpopular, it is not because
his public virtues are doubted, but be-
cause his administration is expensive for
the multitude, and the taxes on wine,
petroleum and daily fare very heavy
Hence the Delyannists nicknamed the
great statesman the petroleum man, the
oppressor of the people and the enemy
of the Clover class.

No person has right in the enclosed
space in the ward room except the cleo
ton officers or the voter while he is de-
posting his ballot, unless in case of dis
turbance when the warden may call in
an officer for the purpose of restoring
order. For no other purpose, however,
has the warden right to call inanybody.
If City Marshall SWEET or any other Off
Ger undertakes to enter the enclosure
for any purpose except to restore order or
to vote somebody should call him down.
We mention Mr.. SWEET especially, be-
cause he has confessed that at the last
election he was inside the rail in three
or four wards. He had no right to be
there unless the warden called him there
to oreseu0e order. The warden has no
right to call him in to consult as to the
discharge of his duties. Mr.. SWEET is not
one of the election officers. He lis po-
lice officer whose duty it is to preserve
the public peace. Managing the cleo
ton is not his legitimate business,
though it is about all the business he
attended to on the last election day.

Plaisted offered to submit the question to
the decision of the Democrats of Augusta
voting under the Australian ballot sys-,
tenn, the candidate who was defeated to
withdraw. But Mr.. Lynch perempto-
rily refused to agree to any such an
rangement, thereby confessing that he
did not believe himself to be the choice
of majority of the Democrats of the
city. The result OF this contest will be
very important inasmuch as it will show
whether the people or the brokerage
syndicate are the more influential with
the administration. If we were going to
bet we should bet that Mr.. Plaisted
will get left, for though the Democra-
ey profess great regard for the wishes of
the dear people before election they
readily forget all about it when success
is secured and their are spoils to dis
tribute.

If any attempt is made on Monday to
turn the Ward 3 polling place into bar
room on election day, and the police re-
main Indifferent as they did on the last
election day it is to be hoped the sheriff
will interfere and promptly arrest the
men responsible for it, if they can be
found. There is strong reason to believe
that at the last election liquor was
brought frequently from the Agency to
the ward room and there dispensed to
voters who would promise to vote the
Democratic ticket. In communication
to this paper short time ago city Mar
shall SWEET admitted the disgraceful
practices in Ward 8 and rebuked the
sheriffs for not putting a stop to them,
claiming that it was as much their duty
to do so as that of the police. We do not
agree with him on this last point being
of the opinion that the duty of preserv-
ing order at a local election devolves first
upon the local police force. But if that
force neglects or refuses to act then it is
the duty of the sheriffs to interfere. The
decent voter has right to ssdemand pro-
lection from such crowd of drunkards
as thronged the corridors adjacent to the
Ward 3 polling place on the last election
day, and if they can't get it from one
source they should demand it from an
other.

If sMr. George L. SWEET succeeds in
electing Mr.. Ingraham on Monday he
will be invincible, and his competitors
for the postofice may as well retire from
the field. With an endorsement of the
majority of the voters of Portland,
which he win have good reason to claim
if Ingraham is elected, the Office broker
age syndicate will be compelled to rec
ommend him, and their recommendation
is understood to be final. Mr.. Swett's
competitors for the sheriff nomination
can testify how remorselessly he uses
every advantage to the discontinue of
his rivals.

Mr.. Baxter has preserved an honora-
BILE, dignifed attitude all through both
campaigns. He has catered to no partic-
ular class and repealed none. He has
made no promises except the promise of
his letter, to administer the affairs of the
city for the good of the people, without
distinction of race, creed or condition.
Can ESQ much be said of Mr.. Ingraham?
Assuredly not. His letter to Chairman
Farnsworth contained a thinly disguised
appeal to the worst elements Of the
population to rally to his support. His
organ has assiduously endeavored to
rouse class prejudice by gross misrepre-
sentation in his behalf.

THE BUSINESS MEMS ADDRESS.

The address of prominent merchants
of Portland, which is published else
where, should have great weight. The
signers are all well-known business men
who have no particular interest in the
result of the election beyond that which
should be felt by every good citizen.
Their appeal is not from the standpoint
of partisan politics, but from that of
good citizenship jealous for the good
name and fair fame of the city. The
truth of none of their assertions can be
gainsaid. The fact of fraud in Ward 1
is undenied and undeniable. and no one
can question that the election of
Mr.. Ingraham will give the i'm
preston that the public are in
different to assaults upon the
integrity of the ballot; no one can doubt
that such a result will greatly encour-
age INSCRIPTIONS partisans to resort to
similar trickery in the future. On the
other hand, there can be no doubt that
the election of Mr.. Baxter, especially by
p" s'isso idoJolioy, Will ~ eo ioliS way W
restore the sullied reputation of the city,
and will be a rebulze to tricksters of all
parties, and by showing that fraudulent
practices are Improbable will bring to
bear upon Inscriptions men the only ar
gument that is likely to have any weight
with them. Whether Democrat or a
Republican is to be at the head of munic-
ipal affairs for the next year is of small
Importance compared with whether an
attempt to falsify the will of the people
is to be treated as a light offence or is to
be sternly and effectively rebuked. The
second question is involved in this
election to much greater extent than
the first.

At the last election it was notorious
that the election clerks in certain Demo-
cratic wards marked many ballots when
no assistance was asked for or required,
and when the rendering of such assistance
was clearly illegal. Since then the law
has been strengthened on that point SO
as to render the election clerk who is
guilty of such action, liable to fine and
Imprisonment. The Republican city
committee should make arrangements to
station men in each ward to watch the
election clerks SO that if this provision Of
the law is violated the proof will be OBJ
tainable on which to indict and punish
them
