TWO THEOhIES.

The Brooklyn Eagle, which found a
prominent Democrat who suggested
that Grover Cleveland would be a good
man for the Democratic emergency,
now says: If certain man were nom
! mated the strong desire of many to
smash the DOGGY Of a third term and
to court or defy It's consequences would
bring to him large vote. Hamilton
was on his way to get washington to
take third term as successor to John
Adams, when Washington's sudden
death occurred. The latter declined a
third term only for personal reasons,
not for political reasons at all. The
contrary notion belongs to the embalm-
ed error called history,
This is a plausible theory, but there is
another theory equally plausible, and
that is that the DOGGY of third term"
is still in fair working order, and would
take large vote away from "a certain
man" if he were put where he could
test its influence, But such theorizing
isn't very profitable, for there are no
indications that "a certain man" will
depose the certain man.

THE WEATHER WHERE THE WAR

| Sir William Thomson, late president
| of the Irish College of Surgeons, and
chief surgeon to the Irish hospital writ
| ing to the British Medical Journal from
Naauwport, says:
1.-THE winter appears to have come.
The temperature has fallen, and we
have had some winds as penetrating as
those of March at home. But our worst
experience has been a combination of
rain and storm. The night before last
this combination operated with great
suddenness, and every one had to turn
out at midnight to loosen tent ropes and
keep the pegs in the ground. But last
night the rain fell for hours in torrents,
making sleep almost impossible by the
crash upon the canvas. 1t filed the
deep trenches to overfiowing and swept
across the camping ground in sheets.
Fortunately, there was no such catas
trophe as happened to the hospital q
couple Of weeks ago, when nine mar
ouees came down in storm of rain and
the patients had to be rescued in the
midst of hurricane. This morning
everything looks at its worst, The
crowd of glistening white tents looking
50 bright and clean in the sunshine Is
now only series of bulks of muddy
gray, moist, unpleasant bodies The
spaces between them, usually crowded
by soldiers drilling or preparing food,
are now quite deserted. No one is to be
seen abroad save the sentries or the
cooks working here and there at the
camp kitchens in a rain that searches
everything 1t reaches, The white,
scorched surface sand has been washed
away, and the duh brown of the deeper
layer adds to the desolation, The water
sweeps everywhere down the slopes In
rlvulets that quickly deepen in the
sand, or in broad shadows. Across the
breastwork the veldt is covered with
sudgy, greasy mud The Bengalis cow
err in their tents, or, If they must attend
to their horses, look wizened and
shrunken in the cold rain. The sky is
without a break. The clouds cover the
lowest kopjes round about, and every
where, instead of mems voices, there Is
only the slushy sound of a deluge. But
we after all, fortunate. 1t is not pre-

THE SUPERVISORS.

Those who have thought that the
committee appointed by the Court of
Common Council to investigate the sys-
tenn of supervisors in the public schools
of New Haven was dead have been
mistaken. The committee has not even
been sleeping. Three Of its members
have been connecting scheme to
squelch the whole business, and three of
its mernbers-Messrs. Staub, Brennan
ing a report giving the conclusions they
have arrived at by patient and fair
mony offered, They have done their
duty well, and their report shows their
true regard for the welfare of the
schools and the interests Of the taxpay7
ers. 1t is temperate and discriminat-
ing, and will, we think, strike most of
those who read it as, on the whole, just
and sensible. The aldermen showed
their approval of it by voting--14 to g.
to send it to the board of finance.
The members of the committee who
have done their duty in the face Of saw
age and foolish opposition deserve much
credit We hope it will be long time
before New Haven sees another such
attack on free opinion and free speech
as was made during the progress of the
investigation.

S7TLL FITTING.

Perhaps the willy and elusive Aguin-
aldo will not be found to have as many
lives as a cat, or as Osman Digma, but
it Is reported that he is not dead yet.
General Young sends word that Aguin-
aldo has Joined his friend General Tino,
and that they have reaseembled a con-
siderable force in the mountains.
OF course Aguinaldo will soon be re-
ported as dead again, or at least as run
ming away from death, but it is humili-
ating to think that the little brown ras-
cal, who has lately been described as of
no particular account, can successfully
evade the United States. However he
can't always fit, like a -the-wisp,
just in advance Of Christian civiliza-
ton. Some fine day he will be caught
and killed, or civilized.

election in Oregon will be conducted
largely on those national issues upon
which the presidential contest will be
fought.
In 1896 Mckinley carried Oregon by a
plurality of 2,117. Two, years later the
Republican candidate for governor was
elected by plurality of 1851. This
year the Democrats and Populists have
combined on a State ticket.

greatest loss Of life recorded from this
