The Republican journal., 1871-07-20

The letter of Charles p. kimball, Esq,
accepting the Democratic nomination for
Governor Of Maine, is 4 manly, straight
forward and patriotic document, speaking
plainly and intelligently on the great
questions involved in the canvass, and
taking a strong position with regard to
the important reforms which the Democ-
racy has in hand. This letter should be
in the hands Of every laborlng man in the
State. and should also be read by all who
have the interests of the special industries
of Maine at heart That State has been
one Of the greatest sufferers by the crimi-
nally stupid legislation of Congress, and
it deserves to be, SO long as it maintain 8
in power the party which shapes the ac-
ton OF that body to the destruction of
ship-bnilding and the hampering of com
merce. Mr.. Kimball is practical man,
and the measures which he advocates as
the demands of the hour partake of his
own character. They will commend
themselves and him to the farmers and
mechanics of Maine, who, as Mr.. KIM
ball says, have the power in their own
hands to change all this and compel a
recognition Of the present nee.s of the
country. Boston Post.

| Last week we tiitlccu 10 DC Oh DodFu
one of the best managed and most popu-
| lar steamers that ever ran on the coast OF
Maine, and in the room of one of the Of
ficers, when the conversation turned upon
the subject of newspaper treatment OF
railroad and steamboat accidents. Onr
friend, who is Just man in the main, but
trihe tenacious Of his sometimes hasty
opinions, took this ground-said he,
'NWhen an accident happens on railroad,
however great the danger to passengers
or remissness OF the officials. you news
paper men smooth it all over but let any
thing happen to 4 steamer. and all the
narrowing details are spread out to the
utmost We replied that il was the Of
flee of newspaper to give its readers full
| particulars Of all matters which in the
| editors Judgment are of sufficient inter
| est to warrant it; and that any paper
| which should fail in its duty in that re-
spect would lose public confidence and
patronage, and be of brief existence
| that the evil would cure itself-and that
there is sense of fairness and Justice in
| the public mind which no paper can af-
| ford to ignore. While we had been talk
ing the boat had entered fog bank, and
| in the midst of our argument we heard
from the engine room the signal to stop,
| followed by hurried signals to back the
engine at full speed. We reached the
main deck just in time to feel the shock Of
a collision, to see a careening vessel scrape
| by, and to hear the cry of ''Man over
board
After the man had been rescued, the
boat been run alongside the vessel to as
| certain if assistance was needed, and was
again on her course, we said to our fault
finding friend, Now, in order that there
shall be no injustice done in the matter of
this accident, will YOU please write just
what ought to be said about it, and your
| account shall be published. After q
thoughtful moment or two, and walking
to and fro few steps, he said, "Well,
guess you had better fix it yourselfr'
Yet nothing could exceed the care with
| which the steamer had been run. To our
personal knowledge the Captain had not
| retired until after visiting every part OF
the boat at long past midnight, to see
that everything was safe; and that when
two hours afterwards, the whistle began
to blow fog signals, he went to the pilot
house and stood with the pilots for three
long hours threading his way among
rocks, shoals and passing vessels to the
| landings. And yet, at a moment when
| least expected, and through no possible
fault of the officers, a very nearly serious
accident had happened and one that was
from choice, left to one of those mis-
representing newspapers to chronicle !
Chance had promptly vindicated the men
OF the quill.

WHAT WAS II EOR 2

The druggists say, TO frightcn them
into the payment OF large sums, a. a
compromise with the government, fifty
per cent of which would go to the inform
ers." The first offer from the govern
ment was that each apothecary should
pay the sum of 500 This would Give
the sum OF $1,000 to the principals and
forty per cent of all the fines to the spies,
making total of some S12 900. Through
their counsel the apothecaries have stead
lily refused TO do this, ana the offers have
subsidized to payment of costs. But
even this the druggists refuse to do, and
have petitioned the authorities at Wash
ington for a redress of their wrongs.
This they are not likely to get, however,
any more than have the ship-builders
and shoe and leather dealers, and will
probably have ample time before the set
Element of the affair to reflect upon the
saying that "He who will dance must
pay the fiddler" OF course the much
abused officials deny all these charges
with many sagacious and solemn shak-
ings of the head, and entrcnch them
selves, whenever approached, behind
their official dignity and the strict and
impartial prosecution of their duty.
There is much excitement and natural
indignation now, but it will probably
cool down in the course of time, and the
stamping will pursue the even tenor of
its former peaceful ways
