At q glance this would seem an easier

To find one with dark air and eyes would
be q more specific task, but still not OBJ

We have heard it suggested in explana-
ton of Mr.. Ingraham's waning popular
ity that during his long residence at
Halifax he may have acquired Eng
fish ways and English airs which he has,
been unable tosdiyest himself of .entirely
since his return, and that these ways and
airs have had very chilling effect upon
the ardor of many of his former constitu-
ents. 1t has been suggested too that GER
tain letters written by him to the Demo
cratic city committee in reply to request
to contribute to the last Democratic free
silver campaign seemed to So thoroughly
identify him with the 'gold bugs' that
the silver wing has regarded him ever
since with coldness. The anglophobic
wing of the party and the silver wing
added together constitute almost the
whole of it, and with these disaffected
there could not be much left to rally
round the candidate.

priest of New York, who was reported to
have advised his flock in case of war with
Spain to support the latter because the
Spaniards were Catholics, denies that he
gave any such advice. The sermon WAS
in German and he says it was misunder-
stood. Even had the allegation been true
its only significance would have been that
silly men sometimes get into the Catho-
lie priesthood. His constituents would
never have. taken such advice. There has
never been any lack of patriotism among
the Roman Catholics in this country,
when its welfare or it's honor was at
stake, and we do not believe there ever
will be.

The war excitement appears to have ex-
perienced very notable abatement with
in few days. The excited New York
brokers have recovered their senses and
are no longer sacrificing their stocks, the
Ohio regiment that was sleeping on Its
arms is now sleeping in beds, no militia
generals have rendered their services to
the government this week, and the Croes-
uses who have been rendering money by
the $100,000,0o0 have put it back into
their safes and vaults.

Tho fact that the Board of Inquiry in
the case of The Maine is going back to
Havana, and will sit Il considerable time
YET is very strong evidnoe that no testi-
lnony has yet been submitted
which proves conclusively any theory OF
the disaster, for if any one were estab-
iished, whether internal explosion or ex-
ternal explosion, in all probability the
Board would speedily conclude it's sit
tipgs. Yet within week it has been re-
peatedly stated that the Board has heard
evidence that showed, beyond doubt
that the ship was blown up by mine or
q torpedo. 1t is now clear that all these
statements were entitled to no credenoe,
though they got good deal, and did
much to fan the war excitement. So far
as the public is concerned no more is
known about the causes of the explosion
than on the day after it occurred. Evil
denoe is lacking to support any particu-
lar theory, and suoh opinions as are
formed must be formed simply upon the
probabilities of the case. We have always
regarded the probabilities as much more
strongly on the side of. the accident theory
than Oh the side of any other. That the
Spanish authorities maliciousIy blew up
the ship has always been so extremely
improbable as to be hardly worth consid-
ering. The fanatic theory has been a
trifs more reasonable, but it is vastly inn
probable that fanatic could have secretly
procured the large amount of explosives
necessary to blow up so big ship as the
Maine and placed them in position with
out discovery. The mine theory, that is
the theory which attributed the disaster
to the explosion of a mine arranged by
the Spaniards to protect Havana harbor
in case of war, seems to be disposed OF by
overwhelming evidence that there was no
mine there, and by theivast improbability
that, even if there had been one, anybody
but a government agent could have gat oor-
troll OF the macha n i N TO touch it off. II e
doctrine of chances greatly favors the in
ternal explosion from accidental causes as
the true explanation of the disaster. What
the evidence points to or may point to
we have at present no means OF knowing,
because all of il has been kent secret. But
that SO much as has been submitted does
not point conclusively to any particular
from the intention OF the board to con-
tinue it's inquiry considerable time
longer.

Mr.. r. ct of Oregon was refused his
seat, no. ~ vote along partisan lines as
was anticipated, but apparently by vote
upon the merits Of the constitutional
p int which YVES raised in his case, mas
much as some of the most pronounced
silver men voted for his admission while
many of the sound money men voted
against it, The question at issue in his
Gaze was practically the question raised
IN the Lee Mantle csse, whether when
"a legislature has an opportunity to elect
senator, and for any reason fails to do go,
SUCH vacancy exists Gs will authorize
che governor to appoint. This decision,
like that III the Mantle case, settles it in
the negative, and lays down the doctrine
that the failure of legislature to fill q
vacancy is equivalent to declaration
that it does not want the vacancy filled.
The result of this doctrine will be- to de-
;riYe occasionally state of its represen-
tation, but it can be argued that the re-
sponsibility Is not upon the doctrine but
upon the legislature which has failed to
improve it's opportunities.

Commissioner L. T. Carleton was
asked Monday il he could relate the facts
regarding the much advertised Green deer
case, where the logging of deer is sup
posed to have been carried on. He said
the facts of the case were that two dogs,
a spaniel and shepherd, of their own
free will chased three deer, biting one 80
badly that it was killed.
The owner Of one of the dogs shot him, as
soon as he found out what his dog had
done. Two young men who found the

The people about the streets of Augusta
Monday who saw the ammunition being

another demonstration of the fact that
the government was taking precautions
against possible war. Perhaps such pre-

Adjutant General Richards was not for
that purpose at ALL 1t was the custo-
