NAME REPUBLICANS AND DEMO
GRATIS

The view which is taken in other States OF
the two parties in Maine presents a good idea
Of their comparative merits. The New ork
Times gives about the average sentiment when
it says:
1.-The republican view of the constitutional
amendments, in Maine, presents very strik-
ing contrast to that offered by the democrats
The latter was like the cropping of blind men
leading the blind. 1t made only one thing
clear-the muddled condition of its authors
minds Without affirmative value, its mega
tive propositions were vain repetitions. As
the voice of a party in opposition it was weak
and trembling; as the expression of party
demanding to be put in power it was hesitant
and worthless.
No criticism of this kind can be passed on
the resolutions of the Republican Convention.
1t is not difficult for any man to understand
what its authors sustain in the past, what they
desire in the future. They believe in retain
ing and enforcing the three last amendments
to the Cons titution. They do not merely toll
crate them. They are proud of them, as
well as of their republican authorship.
The Maine republicans do not mince mat
tiers in regard to the purposes they expect
sound government to serve. They plainly
say that, among those purposes, is the COM
plete protection of the political rights, the
personal liberty and the property of every
American citizen, everywhere on American
soil. They understand the value of their
State Government perfectly well. They
know its powers andits exclusive effectiveness
in local concerns. But they mean that when.
as citizens of the United States, they choose
to take their property and their families into
another State, if they do not find there the
privileges and immunities the Constitution
guarantees them, the Government of the Uni
ted States shall be empowered and required
to secure them. Whatever democrats in Maine
may or may not think of the constitutionalty
of this view of the General Government, they
have not mustered courage enough to express
an authentic opinion upon it. The republi-
cans are not afraid to do so. Having given
the best blood of the State. to preserve the
Union, they do not lack courage to say what
they fought for"

The citizens of Frankfort H., are at pres
ent considerably exercised over what they
conceive to be genuine case of witchcraft.
The victims are two young ladies, daughters
Of Mr.. James Williams. They are said to
be modest and retiring in their manners dur
ing the day, but when night approaches, some
unseen power influences them to climb to the
roof, where, in words of the local chroncler,
they "gyrate on the comb with perfect ease
and IMMUNITY, uttering at the same time the
] most hideoas and frenzied screams. y We are
. told, further, thatawhile performing in this
manner, they frequently become rigid with
spasms, and, on recovering, devour flies
until they are simultaneously seized with
nausea. When the spells come on they both

NOMINATION.
PROTECTION.

The democratic papers of the State are
rather hasty in assailing the third resolu-
ton of the republican platform, on the
ground that it favors "monopolies' and
''aristocrats." tb
1t is a very mildly drawn resolve in
favor of adjusting the duties on imports to
encourage and promote the growth OF our
industries, and protect American labor.
Now if the protective principle in this re-
solve is obnoxious to the democrats on
account of its favoring ''monopolies" and
'aristocrats," what have they to say in
excuse for Incorporating the same prinei-
pie, in more obnoxious form, in their
national platform of 1868. The national
democratic convention of '6S declared for
such taxation under the internal revenue
laws as would afford incidental protec-
ton to domestic manufactures" and Cen
courage the great industrial interests of
the country" The principle of protection
is here distinctly affirmed. If the demo-
Gratis could take it in that shape in 1868,
why object to the mild republican resolu-
ton in the Maine platform of 1872 The
application of the protective principle
through the tariff is more effective and
less Objectionable to the allegation of IA
voring monopolists and aristocrats than
through internal taxation, because 1t
strikes directly against foreign competi-
ton with its cheap capital and pauper
labor, which is the real enemy to the
growth of all American industrial interests.
Perhaps the democrats have forgotten what
was in their platform Of 1868, or are we
to understand that they take new de-

An exchange says that can English railroad
superintendent is able to report that upon his
road no casualty has occurred during the last
three years, and this exemption is credited
to the adoption Of q new signal system. As
stated in his own language, this system is af-
ter this sort: No train is allowed to leave one
sigual-station until that station has asked
leave from the station in advance and received
an affirmative reply. When the train has
been SO allowed to leave, the sending station
must inform the receiving station that the
train has left, and the receipt of such infor.
nation must be acknowledged. Meanwhile
until these signals have been made and an
swered, the danger signals are kept up. Last
ly, an immediate record is to be made of al
these signals and the precise time of thei
occurrence. While this will do well enough
for the prevention of trains running upon ont
another, as happens to be the fashion of late
it can hardly be Of much use in cases wher
trains have been thrown of the track betweel
stations, or have come in contact with vehi
Giles at road crossings, or have come to grit
through broken wheels or rails. But, def
cient as it may be in some essentials, such
signal system is a vast improvement upon til
utter absence of precautions charact eristic
most of our railroads, and should be made
legal requirement upon the companies. I'll
great want of the day is a means of proven
ing the accidents at crossings, of which a
most every day gives us an account Thes

The Portland Press has unearthed some
rather secesh resolutions introduced in the
City Council Of Portland, in 1861, by c, P.
Kimball. The reading of them casts ligh,
upon the reasons which induce him to favor

democrats that the record and recollections
of their doings in the past will not depart a,
their bidding.
