Maine and Missouri.

Missouri,-the sister state of Maine
though having little else in common

Maine became an octogcnarian, March

together unnoticcd in our State. When
the centennial comes around well have

Missouri and far beyond. Maine and
Missouri became the ed and oath
states. the result of a congressional
compromise by which free state and
a slave state were admitted together
to preserve the political balance in
congress and the electoral college. The
next states to be admitted were Ar
kansas and Michigan. Is years later.

But the back towns are full of moss
backs, who still vote for Jackson and
refuse to believe that the world is
round. In later elections the State has
polled q much larger Republican vote,
and the old Bourbon ring has had
severtl bad frights. We predict that
long before it celebrates its centennial.
Missouri will emerge from political
darkness into Republican light. In its
resources it has all the possibilities of
being one of our greatest and most in

Rural Free Delivery.

II is thought that the next Congress

extension of the rural free delivery
service. So great has been the pres
sure upon the postoffice department
from every state in the Union for the
establishment of new routes that the
fund available for this purpose
s.. 800. OOO-has been nearly exhausted,
and it may be necessary in the near
future to suspend operations until a
new appropriation becomes available.
SO generally popular is this movement
that Congress may be depended upon
to deal literally with it. In fact the
tendency will be to give the department
an even larger appropriation for the
furtherance of this work than it is
disposed to ask for. being anxious
that the work should progress slowly
enough to admit Of it's being done
thoroughly and intelligently. OF the

Of Surgeon General Sternburg to have
been of world wide importance-mark-

time ago we noted in these columns,
the experiments by which the English
government determined the fact that
malaria is a disease specially and, it is
believed. entirely disseminated by
mosquitoes. The experiments con-

That its spread is due to mosquitoes

the blood of people suffering from the

with the poison. The government ex-

truth of this conclusion beyond all
chance for controversy. A number of
persons. both Spanish and American.
who had only recently arrived in Cuba,

these dangerous experiments. 1t was

to infect all but one of the volunteer

some of them had severe runs of the
