Nur New Governor.


Tomorrow Governor Chamberlain retires
alter four years service, and Hon. Sidney
Perham succeeds him. In several important
particulars Mr.. Perham cannot do better than
to emulate the example of his predecessor,
in stoutly unfolding all The just
re State of Maine, both theoretical
al. In this respect Gov Chamber
lain has earned the applause of all thinking
men. Mr.. Perham, We Rave every reason 10
suppose, will be as jealous of the honor of bis
State, and as active in promoting its material
interests as any Governor Maine has ever had.
Sprung from the ranks of the people be is
thoroughly identified as practical worker
with labor and laboring men. We may there
fore expect with confidence that he will he
more solicitous of maintaining rigid econo
my in the State administration than some
who have gone before him. He has for many
years been an earnest advocate of temper
ance, and though, both from temperament
'-;',u he is the farthest possible from a
oily take very decided
INT question. Politically
uv, entire confidence of bis
party, and his puv... life has so far been spot
less as his moral character, and this is high
praise as everybody in Maine well knows. In
the many responsible positions he has already
occupied he has exhibited ability and energy
entirely adequate to the requirements of the
case.
Gov. Perham Is now in the prime of life
having been born in Woodstock in 1872
Farmer and teacher till 1866, he was then q
member Of the State Legislature and Speaker
of the House. In 1856 he was Presidential
Elector, and in 1858 Clerk of Courts for Ok
ford County. As member of Congress from
1852 to 1868 he maintained creditabe stand
ing, and distinguished himself by the fdeit.
with which he guarded the interests of hi
constituents. Forming our judgment from
his sterling character and his history we con
clude that the forty sixth Governor of Maine
will be one of the best in our history.

PRINTS WoUNDs.-Gen. Prim's wounds
were inflicted with small shot, evidently fred
from smooth-bore gun or old fashioned fowl
ing-piece and took effect in the shoulder and
ore of his hands. 1t was thought at first
that though severe they would not prove ia
tai; but during Friday night and Saturday
morning Inflammation set in, and the public
mind was greatly shocked by The sudden an
nouncement OF his death when his recovery
was regarded as certain. The excitement
throughout Madrid was intense. Immense
crowds of people gathered in the streets, and
it was with difficulty that strong force Of
military and soldiers of the liue maintained
order. The symptoms of revolutionary con-
sequences are strong, and it is believed the
conspiracy is OF a most extensive and formid-
able character.

WE have received copy of petition to be
presented to Congress by Alexander Kerr &
Brothers, importers of salt in Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Alexandria, representing to a
great extent the trade of those cities, which
gives fair statement of the disadvantages
under which dealers and consumers alike are
placed by the operations of the unjust and
oppressive tariff. This petition simply gives
facts as expressed in figures, the figures being
those of the first cost in currency of several
cargces of salt imported by them, the amount
Of duty paid on each cargo, and the resultant
percentage of duty at the present rates, which
latter ranges from 1911 to 200 per cent. They
therefore ask the reduction of the duties from
IS cents per hundred on salt in bulk, and "a
cents per hundred on salt in bags, to 9 and 8
cents, respectively. Besides the duties, the
freight on the several cargoes specified will
average Is shlliings per ton, or IT'S per cent.
on the first cost, thus protecting the Ononda-
ga Salt Company, about the only party bene-
fitted by this exhorbitant tariff, TO the extern,
of about 375 per cent. on the articles rrepar-
ed by them for use.

A MONTREAL correspondent of a Massa-
ehusetts newspaper is responsible for these
statements: "Society here is singularly diff
ferent from what it is in the States. The
Irish seem different race. Many of the Irish
girls are sou:hern-lookins br"nettes, All ethnic
absurdity in the States. In fact, considering
our geographical position, the number OF trop-
1: compilations among the women is singular.
A blonde of the New England tTpe is as rare
as white crow. The women are all ruddier
and stronger than American women, and
make nothing of walking four or five miles in
the bracing air of this latitude. OF course
they lack the spiritualness of the Boston girl.
Americans tell US that the position here is in
ferior to what it is with them, and very likely
it is 30. All the family drudgery here is done
by the women"

A HERo1SE.-The Buffalo IN. ~ Express
of the Both ult, relates the particulars of an
exhibition of nerve resolution and courage on
the part of Mrs. Paul, the landlady Of hotel
at Holland Village, in that county, which has
few parallels in recorded instances of feminine
intrepidity. Her house was assailed on Christ
mas Eve by mob of intoxicated Irish labor
ers, working on a railway in process of con-
struction there. They entered the house and
drove her husband and two sons aged IS and
20 years, from the bar-room after beating them
fearfully. Mrs. Paul then appeared on the
sceue, and boldly went into their midst, drunk
en- and armed with clubs as they We're. She
appealed to them to desist, but without effect.
Escaping through side door, she tried to Sc
cure help from her neig bbors, but they were
paraiyzed with fear. Nothing daun ed she
borrowed two reyolv-rs, secured supply OF
cartridges, loaded the weapons. and placed
them in the hands of her TWO sons. Meantime
the rioters were in possession OF the front
rooms, smashing windows, breaking up furni-
ture, aud appropriating properly. StatiOniDg
her two sons at the two doors leading into the
room where the mob were mostly congregated, ,
she again called on them to leave the house.
Iustead, they made rush Tor the boys, who at
the command of their courageous mother
emptied their -evolvers into The Infatuated
crowd. The revOlvers were quickly reloaded
by the mother and the fire kept up until the
mob fled in panic, leaving two of their num-
Der dead on the floor, while several were more
or less crippled By wounds

The New TARIFF LAW, passed BY the last
Congress, and which it is calculated will re-
dnee the dutg from customs about fifty million
dollars year, went into effect with the new
year. 1t adds to the free list several nunured
articles, principally dyes, drugs and chemicals
and reduces the duty on many others, among
them, as the public will be most interested in
knowing, tea, coffee and sugar. The reduc-
tirn on tea is ten cents pound (25c to 15c),
on coffee two cents pound (5c to 3c), and
on sugar about one and one. quarter cents a
pound. (3c to 3-4c). The duty on pig iron
iron is also reduced, greatly to the disgust Il
the Tribune and Pennsylvania but the duty
on steel rails is increased, as'an few Other
articles, irclu1ing fax, fax seed, iinseed oil
and watch materials. The new taliff is ar
improvement on the old ore inasmuch as it il
simpler, taxing fewer articles, and reduces
the tax on some articles of general consump-
ton. But it is far from perfect and will only
stand till Congress gets ready to give the
whole question OF taxation thorough and
we trust, INTELLIGENT overhauline.
