very little damage and stored in the
adjacent vacant residence owned bv

plague of mosquitoes to point from which
a systematic campaign could be prosecuted
in future years with steadily increasing
effect.
The secret OF success in this endeavor lies
in cooperation. One man alone cannot do
the work, even though he may conscien-
tiously drain all his own swamp lands and
oil the still waters effectually. But one
man. working on the scale adopted by Mr..
Whitney, can furnish his neighbors with an
inspiration and give them an object lesson
which will perhaps awaken them to realize
the self-interest to be conserved by such
enterprise. While the range of the malaria
bearing mosquito is not great and much
good is done by the destruction of the in
scots in any considerable area, yet this
local benefit will not be permanent unless
the work extends to the adjacent regions
and is continued for several years The
theory of the scientists as to the spread Of
malaria by mosquitoes is regarded as abso-
lutely established, and 1t is assured that
the insects can be exterminated by the de-
struction of the larvae by means Of oil and
by the drainage of all standing water. With
this knowledge all that is needed is cash
and organized enterprise to work wonders.

Mr.. Rasin Going Abroad.

Mr. l. Freeman Rasin, the Baltimore poll
tician, is going abroad for rest and pleas
ure. The cares of a long supremacy in the
councils of his party are beginning to tell
on him, and he thinks a European tour will
set him up again. His itinerary is not an
nounced. Presumably, however, he will
keep in the beaten track. England, Ire
land and Scotland. with limited turn or
two on the continent, will probably fill the
bill. Ruins are abundant all along that
line. and Mr.. Rasin, now turned philoso-
pher, will be able to study them at his
leisure. Several months will be devoted to
the journey. and If Mr.. Rasin does not re-
{ turn new man, at least physically. his
admirers will be surprised and disappointed.
Richard Croker set this fashion. 1t was
the Tammany leader who first discovered
that an ocean voyage and a stay in foreign
parts were good for the fatigue brought
on by too close application tt politics.
And he was so much benefited he length
ened his visits until now he has a resi-
dence in England and spends a good deal
of his time there. He has improved the
dairy products of his neighborhood has by
his purchases advanced the price of bull
dogs, and introduced into his racing estab
lishment some of the best features of Amer
him throughout? VIII he, too in time,
have his English home, and indulge his
tastes on English soil, returning to his old
Maryland haunts only as his fancy his
interests may dictate?
The question is sometimes propounded.
What shall We do with our ex-Presidents?
As reasonable a one is. What shall we do
with our weary bosses, or our EXPOSES?
Why not encourage them all to copy Mr..
Croker? Why, after the games fever and
the excitement are over, and the pickings
have been carefully harvested. should they
not form a little colony in rural England,
and. far from the madding crowds ig-

Not Complimentary to the Democracy.

Tho tbird-term talk is very compliment
tarv to Mr.. Cleveland and 1t must give
him good deal of pleasure. He has been
the subject of so much dispraiSe by demo-
Gratis for the past seven or eight years tnat
FL to have some of these men turn to him
now and pledge him their support Tor
fourth presidential nomination cannot Out
warm the cookies of his heart. He Is not
likely however, to show his feeling unduly'
Heis not. in any circumstances. demonstra-
tive man. Those who write to him Will get
prompt replies to their letters. while those
who meet him face to face and bring up
the subject will be rewarded by hand-
clasp and something approaching anabiiity.
He plays the game with marked seif-com-
mand. Whether winning or losing, compos-
ure marks his manner.
But this talk is anything but compliment
tary to the democratic party. 1t has been
nineteen years since Mr.. Cleveland was first
nominated for the presidency. The country
in that time has achieved much. 1t has met
several highly important issues and changed
the map of the world. 1t is today In
more prosperous state than ever before in
its history And yet. If we may believe Mr..
Cleveland's admirers, there has been no
growth in his party. 1t Is helpless except
under his leadership. He alone has the
strength to pilot 1t to victory. Mr.. Bryan,
we are told will not do at all. Mr.. Hill is
sneered at. Mr.. German is good tao
tician. but a straddler principles. A GER
tain polite gossip plays around the names
of Mr.. Olney and Judge Parker. But Mr.
Cleveland is the for ones money.
Help us. Grover, or we perish! is the cry.
This is what rankles in the bosoms OF
many of the anti-Clevelandites. They do
not object to paying him a compliment or
two. They will agree that he has some
strong and good points, and that while in
the White House he did some good things.
But they reject with indignation the claim
that he is head and shoulders above his
fellows; that he is better than his party;
that he is the only man with whom the
party can win; and all of that eulogy which
the Clevelandites pronounce so easily. In
private conversation they do not hesitate to
say, indeed, that If the democratic party in
nineteen years has produced but one man
who can lead it to victory the day has not
arrived when 1t should be returned to
