The mass of iron, weighing 1900 pounds, fell to

That Heather Ch5uee

The new Democratic organ in this city
The favored rival of the Argus, probably re-
membered for coming so tardIy to the sup
port OF Mr.. Kimbail, lay special stress upon
Its determined opposition to Chinese immi.
grafton. This is new issue in Maine. and
we heartily congratulate the new convert that
1t has so substantial and fertile a resource for
leaders. The census of 1870 shows that there
was at that time within the borders of Maine
one solitary almond eyed wretch. What a
subject for fervent appeals to an injured peo-
ple-what rare opportunity for the display of
virtuous indignation and impending danger to
tree people, in full face and capitals. 1t
matters not that the statistics show that this
immigration is not increasing but rather fall
ing of-that large numbers return annually
to China, the mere fact that one of this race
has dared to violate the soil of Maine is
enough. Go for him; and when Mr.. Kim.
ball is elected by twenty thousand majority
OF indignant opponents to this lone Chinee,
let him call out the entire militia of the State
and gratefully remember tits jealous foe Of
that heather by placing him in command OF
the forces, clad in the panopy of Mars and
armed with that cannon in the State house
yard, stolen by Maine soldiers from the Dem
ocrats of the South during recent unpleas-
antness, nearly forgotten. There is but one of
him-tbis heather Chinee-and he has no
vote and don't want any. 1t would be differ

were voters

The Republicans of this county are exceed.
lngly fortunate in their nominations and we
have adyices from various sections that an an
tlcipated apathy, whereby the Democrats ex-
pected to steal march does not exist. The
result will show that Old Oxford is true to
tne principles which she has nobly maintain
ed Tor the past fifteen years without mo-
ments faltering. With so good ticket the
county should give Mr.. Perham at least 800
majority. Hon. Otis Hayford, ESQ.,, of Can
ton was Senator last year and held respecta-
BILE position. His experience will at once
give him commanding position in that
board. L. Z. Harrington, Esq, of Fryeburg is
gentleman of ability, active and industrious
in his habits He has served in the House of
Representatives two sessions; in 1866 and
1863, when he was esteemed as faithful leg
'sator. His vote was always Oh the side of
the strlctest economy, with an eve to the
prosperity OF our whole State. Two better
men VIII hardly be found in oLr next Legisla-
ture.
b. A. Ellis, Esq, of Canton, has been ra-
nominated for County Commissioners COM
plment that is seldom given except to a
faithful officer. Hon. A. B. Walker of Lowell
who presided with so much ability at our
State Convention is renominated for Judge of
Probate. He, too, is faithful and eminent in
his profession. Major Fred'k E. Shaw is
again candidate for County Treasurer; a
soldier and gentleman. Although he
prlngs up the rear on the ticket he was al
ways In the front when the country needed
his services in other fields

aturr known as prophecy it is as Josh Bill

Every year, and about this season it has fore
told that the great Democratic wave was
about to sweep over the continent, beginning

with tina awful flood. In 1868, with well
organized Democratic party In the South, it
redicted that its allies in Maine would rise
as one man to denounce an abolition war. and
sweep the State. The signs of the times
were then ominous. In 1864, with candi-
dates nominated on a platform denouncing
the war as failure, it predicted Democratic
deluge. In 1867, with its "P. L. L." side
show in nearly every large town in Maine,
it was entirely confident of the closeness
aid certainty of the tidal wave. The wave
was quite large one but it left the Republic
cans some ten thousand majority. The year
following, it predicted time and again that
the success OF the Democracy was sure. All
the straws pointed that way. The prophetic
mutterings We're so loud and clear that the
wicked Radicals acturally quaked in their
boots. Seymour and Blair were not elected.
Last year it was confident that Sidney Per-
ham would be defeated if every Democrat
would do his duty. 1t is evident that several
thousands did not, for Mr.. Perham was hand
somely elected. Now the argus is laboring
under its annual attack of prophesy. 1t don't
intend to practice stale trick; it is only suf-
fering under an attack that it can no more
avert than can victim of the small pox. after

10 the Editor Of the Press: .
In a paragraph in your issue of Friday last
referring to the platform of the late Penobscot
County Democratic Convention, you use the
following language: '..'o.-@ Ht 81 i.+-
The resolutions that were choked off in the
Augusta Convention, denouncing the advanc.
ed system OF education, were adopted. 1t is
reported on good authority that Mr.. Emery
declared in public meeting that a general lib.
eral education of the masses was not desirable
nut 1or only the leaders of the people,
presume you can have no DESIRE either
Willingly or unwittipglyato msrepresent one
OF your contemporaries and, therefore, as a
matter of justice to me personally, ask YOU
to correct the above statement 1 have never
declared in public meeting" or elsewhere
that general liberal education of the masses
was not desirable, but for only the leaders of
the people, On the contrary my position on
the educational question is the very reverse of
that. hold that it is the duty of the public
to furnish for the masses of the people as much
education as they can all enjoy. L hold that
We have no right to tax all the people for acad-
emic and collegiate education, which can be
enjoyed only by the famed few-the 'leaders. -
L am now, and ever have been, in favor of
our old school district system, because it brings
home to the very doors of those people who
most need them, the advantages of common
euucation. am opposed to Mr.. Superintend-
EN- 1ohnson's proposed system, because it's
whoie tendency is to centrallze our schools in
t the Milages, and to remove them SO far from
t . rural population that they can receive lit
tle OF no benefit from them
would not SO far trespass on your space as
10 no.ce an the objections to Mr.. Johnson's
system. 1hey are numerous and grave. and
at the proper time will be presented 70 the
people. Meanwhile scourge me, if you please
for opposing that system, but do me the ms.
tice to say, that, whilst am heartily ia favor
OF taxing all the people for as much education
as can be enjoyed by the whole people, am
most earnestly opposed to taxing all the peo-
pie for system of education which can be en-
joyed by only one sixth of their number.

PORTLAND.

MOI willing.
Many of our people have got the impression
that Portland is whiting, that the city is losing
lis Il dde year by year and that all its indus
tries are paralyzed. A for few partisan or 9TH
OF pu poses, have seemed to take especial de-
light in parading such statements before the
gene. al public. Portland lost by fire'as no
city of its size on this continent ever did. by
supe humaI energy, in the space Oh HUE
over two years, the loss was made good py the
cree ion of large number of the finest and
most substantial blocks, dwellings and manu-
factories ever built in any place OF its size and
of eaty increased capacity for business CON-
pared twith those destroyed. OF course no
reasonable man could expect that this activi.
ty in building would continue; hence a large
number Of artisans, temporarily drawn here
hal sought employment in other towns
These never were actual citizens of Portland
But against the complaints of MANY and the
croAklngs OF the few, there are facts comine
from the most accurate sources that annib
lat mere assertions.
Ilrst: The list of polls just completed shows
an increase of three hundred over last year
Which must indicate an increase of population
amounting to at least one thousand and prob
ably nearer fifteen hundred.
second: The valuation shows an increase OF
pit sonal property of half a million since last
year.
Third: The various wholesale houses show
decided increase of sales over last year Oh
airy previous year thus far.
Fourth: The various Industrial establish
ments now running, particularly those work
nigln IRON, were never so prosperous as to
Gay.
Fifth: Portland has extended her railroa,
communications further and opened up
Larger territory for trrde the past year thai
curing any previous; and the development
OF the past few weeks have rendered certain
the completion of railroad lines that will Sc
cure advantages of trade second to no city il
New England if in the country.
Judging from the great achievements of th,
past six years, and the prospects for the flu
lure, the people of Portland should be the las
10 be influenced by dolorous croakers.
These are not mere assertions, but fact.
that the best men of both political parties il
the city fully endorse.

1MpRrsoNEp.-F. w. Heiskell the nil, svind

1MPRIsoNED.-F. w. Heiskell the pill swind-
Ter, was brought to this State on his ar rest in
Boston, and examined before Trial Justice
Wells of Freeport on Monday and bound over
for trial in the sum OF 81 900. In default of
sureties he was committed to Jail in th is city,
1t appears that when Beiskell escaped from ar
rest in Freeport, he stole carriage and drove
to Portland, followed by deputy sheriff Jordan
of Freeport, who recovered the carriage. At
forwards, Detective Burtred of New York,
who discovered Heiskell's retreat at Freeport,
while settling up affairs with the druggist in
New Hampshire with whom Heiskell had deal
ing letters to them statlng that Wright & Co.,
were intending to close up business and re-
questing them to send the proceeds of the pills
they had sold as well az the balance of pills on
hand to W. Tucker Boston, box 4008. Burtred
finding that Heskell was still carrying on his
swindling operation went to Boston, and
secured the cooperation of the police
force in ferreting out the swindler who
was arrested while taking letters from
the post office. There was some difficult
ty in ascertaining his residence, but finally his
mistress, Mrs. Low from this city and the
same woman with whom he had previously
lived at Freeport, got anxious about him and
came to the police officer searching after him.
She gaver her name as Lowe and left the loca-
ton of her residence. Sunday officers went
thither and on examining the trunk found
some of Wrights pills and also nnmber of
bills for pills furnished druggists. Mrs. Low
confessed and so did Heiskell.
