Chances Favor Democracy.

The advantage which the Democrats
gained by reason Of carrying the city
election will aid them materially Ia
electing their candidates for the Legls-
iature this fall. The Legislature chosen
will name a successor to the Hon Louis
z. McComas In the United States SEN
ate If the Democrats are able to carry
Baltimore city for their legislative
ticket, they are certain TO control the
Legislature. AS the situation is now,
the chances are in their favor, although
the Republicans are not without hope.
Whatever may happen, however, this
fall, there can be little doubt that
Senator McComas will be retired at the
end of his present term. Whatever
way the Senator may turn he is certain

knife into him. In the southern part
of the State there is his archenemy.
the Hon. Sydney E. Mudd. who would
stake his all for an opportunity to de-
pose the Senator; on the Eastern Shore
there is the Hon. Money Bags" John
son, himself a candidate for the Senate
with his "barI" on tap for every man
who suggests that he might fill Senator
McComas' shoes; in the western part
OF the State there is another arch
enemy. ex-senator Wellington. who. de-
spite all. still has many strong friends.
and who would. no doubt, be glad of
an opportunity to assist in the defeat
of the man whose colleague he was Tor
four years in the Senate. Altogether
Senator McComas' chances do not appear
to be bright for reelection. even If the
Republicans should carry the Legisla-
| ture.

The Mosquito Must Go.
His determination Has Become a Social
Necessity.

In the course Of the Fourteenth
International Medical Congress, re-
Gently held in Spain, and attended by
seven thousand physicians, much at
tention was paid to the agency Of
the mosquito in disseminating ma
laiia and other diseases. The gen
eral opinion seemed to be that this
annoying little insect Is more or less
responsible for malaria.
Whether he Is or not, it seems as
If modern science might find a way
TO compass his determination. Vari-
Gus schemes are now being tried,
with that end in view. Some nat
uralsts say that the destruction of
native song birds is the reason of the
large increase IN the mosquito popu-
lation in certain parts of the country,
and if this be true it is another ar
gument for the protection Of the
birds.
Others think that the clearing up
of swamp lands and the drying up
of pools of stagnant water will re-
duce the number of mosquitoes; and
no doubt this is true Swamps and
stagnant water are not good for the
health of those who live near them
aside from the mosquito question.
But it is not as a dissemination of
disease that the mosquito is most
hated, and it is not in this capacity
that his real power for evil lies. He
has caused more profanity, bad feel
ing and general moral depravity than
any other one insect on the face OF
the earth, in all probability. The

FEAR RETALIATION
BY UNITED STATES

throughout Germany OF the statement
that the agricultural appropriation bill
passed at the last session OF Congress
contained a clause authorizing the ex
clusion of adulterated foods an6 drinks
has frightened German exporters, espe-
cially of beers, sausases and wines, who
believe that the United States at last
intends to retaliate for the meat and
other food determinations of Germany.
1t is well understood by the trade that
the export of what are known as deli
catessen wares" would be nearly de-
stroyed were preservatives and adultera-
lions prohibited.

An Infanta of Portugal.

Duchess Charles Theodore is by birth
an infanta of Portugal. daughter OF
the late ex-King Miguel OF Portugal. and
a sister Of the present legitimist pre-
tender to the Portuguese throne Her
husband, brother of the late Empress
of Austria, is the famous oculist. who
has to his record something like 4 600
successful cataract operations, most of
them performed on poor people without
remuneration. and who has converted one
or his finest country seats on the Tagern-
see into a hospital and convalescent
home
The duchess takes such an active
part in the good work of this most use
full and admirable Of royal princes that
widespread hope and earnest wishes are
entertained for her recovery One of
her daughters. 1 may add, Is married
to Prince Albert, the future King of
Belgium.
The last occasion on which a reign
ing house was attacked by diphtheria
with fatal results was in September,
1878, when the Grand Duchess Alice Of
Hesse. favorite daughter OF Queen Vic
toria, and mother of the now rcigning
grand duke as well as of the Czarina,
succumbed thereto at Darmstadt. to-
gether with two of her children. Both
the Czarina and the present grand duke
caught the malady, but fortunately re-
covered. The Kaiser's children suffered
some years ago a slight attack OF the
disease which was traced to the I'M
sanitary conditions of the new nalaca ar
Potsdam, upon which an enormous
amount Of money had to be spent be-
fore it was once more made habirable.

A Royal Evangelist.

Prince Oscar Bernadotte's activity in
the evangelistic line has become the
subject of a debate in the lower house
of the Swedish legislature which must
have been exceedingly unpleasant to
King Oscar and to the other members
of the royal house, since it eliminated
in q demand by several members of the
opposition for the enactment OF law
excluding princes of the reigning family
from commands in the army and IN the
navy.
Prince Oscar Bernadotte happens to
be an admiral in the Swedish Ivy, and
has availed himself of the power and in
fuence which he enjoys as such TO in
augurate an active propaganda of
evangelization among the seamen, dis
tributing tracts among them, summon
ing them to prayer meetings, taking col
lections from them for charitable OBJ
iects, urging them to take the pledge,
and. in one word. acting the part of a
missionary among them
Now this would be all very we'll If he
were an ordinary citizen, cleric or a
Salvation Army official. But the prince,
as I have stated above, happens to be an
admiral. and, OF course. the men accus-
toned to the stern discipline which pre-
walls In the Old World navies, do not
dare to decline the spiritual ministra-
lions of the prince. no matter how IN
welcome these may be to them
They have had the matter taken up FL
the national legislature. where the gov
eminent found itself unable to make
any other defense than the fact that the
prince was no longer full-fedged
member of the royal family It may be
remembered that he renowned his
