THE CONTEST CLOSING.

What the Record Union has con-
tended from the outset is now gener-
ally conceded, that the contest of next
Tuesday for the Mayoralty lies between
William Land and c. H Hubbard One
or the other of these two citizens will
be chosen Mayor, and the Record Un-
ion" is equally confident in its judgment
that it will be William Land
1t is now really only question of ma
jorities, for we do not believe that it
is going to run down to the plurality
level. On the contrary. we shall not be
at all surprised to find the returns
showing Mr.. Land as having more votes
than the rival tallies combined
But that William Land is to be elect
ed Mayer should not one whit lessen
output of energy for him or the Repub-
lican nominees by every friend of the
ticket he heads. We believe in all sin
cerity, and as the result of profound
conviction, that the highest and best
interests Of Sacramento demand that
the Republican nominee should be made
chief magistrate of the city. We be-
lieve that he of all men proposed is
freest, boldest, most business like,
least hampered, olearest in political rec
ord, and having greatest personal in
terests at stake will be the most pro-
gressive while the most economic
Mayor.
All attempts to make it appear that
Mr. Land is the creature of rings or
bosses, prove futile. He is free inde-
pendent. lf-thinking man. No one
owns or controls him, no one dares to
dictate to him. He is the devoted friend
of the city, and has proved it by stand
ing by it instead of deserting it as have
so many others under access of good
fortune
Along with William Land the entire
Republican ticket should be elected, be-
cause while the men named for the
offices are all competent. they will have
this distinct advantage, namely. that
behind them win be the Republican
party by which they will be jealously
watched and promptly called TO ac-
count. 1t has been said that the gov
ernment is safest where the admins

THE MUIR FIRE.
James Woods Charged With the
Crime of Arson.

James Woods was arraigned in the
Police Court yesterday morning and
formally charged with arson. the COM
plant specifying that he willfully set
fire to the barn of B. Muir, on Eighth
street, between T and u, a few nights
since
Woods demanded time in which to
secure an attorney and subpoena wit
nesses, and his preliminary examina-
ton was set for Wednesday next.
The City Attorney protested against
the fixing of a light bail bond, and
stated that recent Investigations show
that Woods knows more about six or
seven recent fires than he should. Bail
was fixed at $1,000.

tration is chosen by a great leading po-
litical party, because the beaten organ
ization watches the ins and the induce
ment is to make records that will de-
serve recognition at the hands of party.
There is still another reason; in legis-
lation body broken up into Dolly Var
den patterns is incapacitated for good
work It is a case Of divided response
bIity. We have had so many ex-
amples Of that unhappy condition in
California that the meaning of it is
we'll understood by the people.
In very few hours from the date
of this issue, the election will be on.
In the meantime let Republicans put in
hard work for the ticket, from the open
ing line to the close. 1t should be sue
cesSful without a skip. Put Sacra-
mento once more under Republican ad-
ministration and the responsibility for
wise and economic discharge of the
functions of municipal direction will
attach with such force that we will be
assured Of desired results even if the
candidates We're not as capable as it
is conceded they are.
Mr.. Paine, the Republican nominee
for Trustee in the Third Ward, has
more opponents to the acre than any
other contestant in this city campaign
Perhaps it is complimentary to his
strength that there are SO many aield
after him, for he will lead them and
win. Why there should be so many
nominees and Independents in the
smallest of all the wards is not clearly
understood But Mr. Paine will have
the support of the majority of the peo-
pie in the ward. 1t is possible, Of
course, that with such division of the
vote as the number Of candidates in
dicates he may succeed on a plurality
however. But Mr.. Paine's friends feel

and residence within it's bounds since

There can scarcely be two intelligent
opinions about the question of segre-
eating the patients in all public in
stitutions who are afflicted with con-
sumption from others in such institu
tions. That is what the State Boards
of Health in consultation in San Fran
cisco have agreed should be done A
committee has been named to present
the matter to the governing boards of
all State hospitals and asylums. 1t is
probable that a speedy separation will
not be possible, because few of our
asylums are so constructed that this
division can be effected on the eco
nomic basis of the present But in
one or two it is possible to set aside
distinct ward for those afflicted with
tuberculosis. The reason for this new
movement is too obvious to need mucn
comment. Consumption is transmissible
by the sputum when it is cast out and
dries. Therefore those who are afflict-
who would be likely to breathe the
floating seeds of the disease. 1t is by
no means settled adversely that con-
sumption is not communicable also by
of the patient, ground to dust and
floating in the air. However looked at,
the stricken consumptive ought to be
kept apart from other people. Unless
fit, &c. rt, &c
of the subject say there viii be such
spread of the disease that it will pass
beyond control. 1t is the national dis
ease to- day, and kills more people than
any half dozen others combined, with
all accidents by rail and water added.
1t can be controlled by a species Of
quarantine and to that we must come.

All the Independent and side bar can
didates in the approaching city cleo
ton say there are free from entangling
alliances. Every one of them declares
that he is a free man from top to toe.
Every last man of them promises any
thing, every thing that any one asks
safe in doing so, having no platform
behind him. If there is any exception
at all, the answer is carefully and
adroi.ly worded. But the Republican
candidates point to the declarations of
the Republican platform, and that is
sufficient. They are mortal men; tits
true, and are not going to make enc
mics unless it comes to a sacrifice of
principle to which the party is pledg-
ed. We have yet to hear of a
case in which any Republican nominee
has hestated moment when asked to
tie himself UP hand and foot as to
patronage, specific policies and fat
pledges, except they are embraced in
the declarations of the platform. Hence
it is that the election of the Republi-
can ticket will more insure the city
good and economic government, as well
as a progressive administration. Be
hind the officers the Republican party
will install in office, is a responsible
party, the party to which the candi-
dates of that faith have duty and
owe allegiance. Let US have a straight
Republican administration and we will
have straight, progressive, energetic
city government.

ers out of ten in this city desire to

DELIGHTED WITH PORTLAND.
What the Disting uished New Workers
Had to Say of this City.

The distinguisheds party of New Yol K
people who arrived in this city on Tues
day evening by the steamer John Englis,
passed very enjoyable day in Portland
yesterday.
AT 10 O'Clock in the morning they as
sembled on Custom house wharf and
boarded the handsome steamer Pilgrim
for a sail down the harbor. With the
party was Chambers orchestra and the
orchestra from the Amphion theatre Ct
New York. These two orchestras played
almost continuously during the delight
full sail about the bay, and during the
time that the shore dinner was being dis
posed of at Long Island. The party
returned to Portland at o'clock and an
hour later took the John Englis and re-
turned to New York.
The scene at the pier of the Maine
Steamship company was very animated
one previous to the departure of the
Englis for New York. The orchestra,
seated on the upper deck of the handsome
vessel, played popular airs previous to
the departure where a jolly party of
ladies and gentlemen gathered on the
wharf to waive the visitors farewell.
just before the steamer sailed, one of
the members of the New York party
told PRESS reporter that they were
much pleased with the very hospitable
manner in which they had been enter
tanned by the Maine Steamship company,
delighted with the John Englis and
with the city of Portland.
Editor Gunneson Of the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle was on board the Englis and told
how the Eagle outing party had passed
their two days in Maine. He was en-
thusiastic in his praise of Longfellow's
beautiful city and the members of the
party crowded about the PRESS report
er to tell him how much they had en-
joyed their Maine trip and how delight
ed they were with this city.
Amidst the cheering of the crowd on
the pier, the waving of handkerchiefs
and the shouting of farewells the Englis
steamed out into the harbor with the
orchestra playing "Auld Lang Syne.'

A Remarkable Spring.

The development of the spring on White
Head beach, remembered by generations
of Portlanders, has revealed an unex-
pected capacity. Monday the stream was
three or four inches in diameter, and
three men working by masons to free ex-
cavations, were unable to take care of 1T,
and small steam pump proved hardly
adequate. The supply will certainly be
sufficient for the Ottawa hotel and all the
cottages upon the island. The water is
very soft, and adapted to every purpose,
