made against them; and the State of Maine,
ever since it has become a state, has exhibited
a determination to have the whole or to make
a disturbance; and it has appeared to US that
the different executive officers Of that state
have attempted to seek popular favor by un-
necessary activity about the disputed territory,
sending surveyors and other officers to run
lines where the state right was disputed; while
On the other side, the Sir Johns and Sir Jane
ses that act for the government Of Great Brit
ain, are not a whit behind the republicans in
keeping alive unneighborlike disputes.
Governor Fairfield, of Maine, called upon

of Massachusetts, Maine allowed the parent
commonwealth some of the unsettled territory.
With as much propriety he might have cal

is bound to look to the national government

movements. But the question is not between
state and province, and therefore we infer
that the quarrel between them will not produce
a war between the United States and Great
Britain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1889.
A splendid Brih-nigM Ball came off here
last night, with great spirit and style. The
President Heads of Departments, the Foreign
Ministers, &c. attended. Among the dstin-
guished strangers present, was Mr.. Nicholas
Biddle, whose familiarity with certain Loco
Focos present, was not little surprising to
the uninitiated in political warfare. What
aweaid some of the Democracy say, had they
seen the much dreaded Nick leading with all
his natural grace and dignity, the lady Of the
presiding genius of the Exchequer, to the
table? Or had seen the sclf-same MONSTER
exchanging bumpers with the little Magician
himself, over boned turkey. and also in familiar
chat with him? think they would have ex-

story has been going about to-day that Henry
Clay formed third with the said incongruous
