Kentucky is properly classed as Demo-
cratic the outlook for the Republicans

have supposed possible a year ago. Re
ports from Kentucky indicate remark

publicans. Much will. depend, of

| nomination are all good men.
Virginia Will elect legislature in
the autumn which will re-elect Senator
Daniel, who has served his state with
ability and dignity for several terms.
He is Democrat. who is respected
| without exception by every member Of
the Senate. In Rhode Island the
gubernatorial election will be decided
the present governor, q Democrat, will
coms"up for reelection. Governor Gar
vim was, to the surprise Of his own
partisans, as we'll as of the Republi-
cans, elected last year by q small ma
1ority. At the same election the Re-
publicans lost a congressman. which
was also very exceptional. The Re
publicans feel confident of turning the
Democratic governor out, but the
Democrats say that will not be easy.
and are confident of success.
Mississippi will elect q governor and
| legislature this autumn. The chief in
terest In that election is as to the per-
sonality of the next Senator, the fight
being between Senator Money. the in
| cumbent, and Governor Longino, with
the chances in favor of the latter be-
cause Of his powerful state machine.
Louisiana elects q governor this year,
but the election is of little interest out
side Of that state. Massachusetts
which, like Rhode Island, chooses q
governor for one year only. will have
its usual contest 1t is believed that
Governor Bates will have no difficulty
in exceeding his first majority for
governor, for his administration OF
state affairs has been commendable
and he ia vastly stronger with the
people Of the state than when he was
elected Vermont will also choose q
governor but he Is also certain to be
a Republican is embarrassing except to

a SUSTAINING Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by
the sunstroke asif the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger ito people whose systems are poorly
sustained; and this leads us to say, in
the interest Of the less robust of our
readers, that the full effect of Hoods
Sarsaparilla IS such as to suggest the
propriety Of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier and tonic
say, q sustaining diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
of year.

The Chicago Tribune which is strong
on the collection of statistics of all
kinds, furnishes it's readers with list
Of the Fourth of July casualties. The
list is, of course, as yet Incomplete.
The returns of so fierce and destruc-
tive a battle as that always fought OH
the Fourth of July, are slow in coming
IN. The Tribune, however. has heard
from more than 200 of the larger cities
in the country. The results are sad
but glorious. The number of dead is
placed at fifty-two; the injured at
1865. AS to the Instruments Of death
and torture, ITO are set down as hav-
ing been injured by fireworks, 206 by
skyrockets. 319 by cannon, 562 by fire
arms, $50 by toy pistols, 1853 by gun
powder and 81 by runaways. The fire
loss h estimated at s4O6,s2s, xMehs IS
smaller than usual. AS was said. the
list can of course be but fractional.
The crossroads towns and rural viii
lagos have not been heard from, and
these are the places, it is known,
where the most mammoth" celebra-
tions are always held. If the entire
number of dead and injured from
Fourth of July celebrations could be
ascertained. there is little doubt but
that the result would ''stagger human
ity." As 1t is. the losses are greater
than in many of the great battles Of
the war which made the celebration of
the day possible. 1t would be interest
ing tos know how many of the killed
and wounded in Fourth of July cele-
bratiohs are small boys.

A western exchange thinks it has
discovered new endless chain. Every
farmer boy" it observes. wants to be
a school teacher, every school teacher
hopes to be an editor. every editor
would like to be u banker, every bank
err would like to be a trust magnate,
and every trust magnate hopes some
day to own a farm and have chickens
and COWS and pigs and horses to look
after. We end where we Begin 1t
seems to us that there are weak links
in such chain, especially in It's begin
ming. We think that relatively few
farmer boys have dreams Of being
school teachers, and that fewer school
techers hope to be editors. Why In
the world should q school teacher,
working six or eight hours day, and
having three months vacation in the
summer and q week or two at Christ
mas and In the spring, want to be an
editor, getting less pay and working 10
to 20 hours II day for SO or 81 weeks Of
the year? Both are engaged in great
and glorious work, to be sure, with
Inadequate reward in this world and
elim hope of faring better in the next,
but we cannot conceive why Il teacher
should want to be an editor except on
the principal that everybody thinks
that the other fellows job is better
than his own.

You can't always tell whether the

applied to locations in the Maine

Hirobsamcook camps. That certainly
has q very Indianfied sound, but some
genius for unraveling tangles has dis
covered that four of these camps are

One gentleman who visited our

expressed admiration for town
that would make annual appropriations
to keep such grounds in order and in
process of improvement. Our visitors
doubtless realize, as we have always
claimed. that Skowhegan Is the best
town in Maine and it's citizens among
the most progressive, publicly and in a
business way. Our town never looked
better than today, and was never more
prosperous in business than In the year

BUFFALO, Dec. s.-The Chinesein spectors
at this port believe that the gang of SNUG
glers who tried to bring eleven Chinese in
from Canada on Friday, an attempt which
resulted in the drowning Of four of the
contra bands in the Erie Canal, are guilty
Of kidnapping, and perhaps Of an attempt
to mur der.

says hat he was brought to Buffalo week
ago by gang of Canadian smugglers. He
had just landed when some American SNUG
glers seized him and took him back to
Canada in boat. He was obliged to give
500 before they would take him back to
the United States.
Then. as the bus in which he was carried
was going up hill the traces broke and
the bus backed into the canal,
Moy believes that the traces were cut by
the smugglers. who hoped that all the
Cinnamon would he drowned
Three arrests have been made in the
case. The most prominent of the prisone m

The others are William McConache, boat
