The Maine EectiOn.

From the n Y. Tribune OF Sept, llth.1
We Judge that Maine has given the
Grant ticket Il majority of not quite
sixteen thousand. In 1868, at the
corresponding election, it gave that
ticket 20, ,4O3 majority, on a full vote
of I3l ,265 All the Grant nominees
for Congress appear to be reelected
Speaker Blaine coming tclerably
near his old majority, and chandlel.s
son-in-law squeezing through over
Pike. Neal Dow is reported as giving
effective aid to the Grant candidate
on Temperance grounds and in some
quarters it is quite evident that the
voters subordinated national to local
considerations. Five dollars have
been spent by the Grant managers
for every one they spent i'll 1868, and
fifty for every one spent by the Lib
erals. The resources OF Il treasury
filed by taxing every civil official, at
home and abroad, the influence. OF a
Post Office department whose head
took the field to command in person,
the power of twentyfour hundred
mile coast dotted with Custom houses,
the votes of the kitters Nayy-Iard,
and the resources of Il political organ
ization we'll nigh perfect, coupled
with proscriptivc pressure never
eoualed. have thus fallen over 1000
! short of the majority of four years
ago.
OF the difficulties and discourage
ments under which this result was
attained we do not now need to
speak. The Cincinnati movement is
a revolution. and revolutions do not
begin in populations like that o
| Maine. 1t has been an absurd say
ing, plagiarized from the old one
about the Keystone State, that as
Maine goes, so goes the Union. Bu1
the Union did not go as Maine did il
1856, any more than in 1913. In fact
it has often been Il follower, not ;
leader of political change;-a measure
of the current, not means OF starting
it. Let us use it as measure:
We may estimate the change on th'
vote of Maine, wrought by the Libera
Republican movement, at about fiv'
per cent. We may be certain that i'll NJ
other part of the Union will tn

Old Hans was engaged i'll an oil

Old Hans was engaged Ill an Oil
manufactory, and for wages was al
lowed every eighth barrel turned out,
or ':eight Der shent' as he erroneous
" termed it. The average yield was
about 96 barrels weekly. 1t struck
Hans that he ought to receive a bigger
"ber shent,'' so he suggested to Mr..
Bobbet that he ought to get "dwelve
Der shent.' Mr. Bobbet, with smile
knowing that he was already getting
twelve and one-half per cent, replied:
"Ccrtainly, Hans, You can take your
twelve per cent" SO, on the next
Saturday, when the oil was being de-
livered. Hans rolls aside every twelfth
barrel, or what he thought was
..dwclve Der shent." But on counting
his share. he found that instead OF
more he found it less: there being
only eight barrels. whereas he had
formerly received twelve. Hans
scratched his head. and shook it a lit
tie, and said. Il no understand how
it is Mr.. Bobbet; but eight Der shent
ish more ash dwelvez and l takes

Certain English botanists are en-
gagged in the acclimazation Of a plant
brought from New Granada, which
will enter into competition with our
ink manufacturers. 1t is the Coriaria
MymDolia, Or ink plant. The juice
which is extracted from, and which is
called canchi,'' is at first of red
dish tint, but in the space OF a few
hours assumes q hue of the deepest
black, and can be used in its natural
state without preparation. The merit OF
this canchi consists in its not affecting
steel pens Us the ordinary ink does,
and besides, it will resist the action
of time and the influence Of chemical
agencies. During the Spanish regime
:,ll the public documents were written
with this ink otherwise they would
have been rendered illegible through
the influence of the sta-water.

This is from the New York Tribune

This is from the New York Tribune
of Saturday before last:
We reprint to-day, from the Jloinc
Standard, a we'll considered and rea-
sonable estimate of what the Liberals
and Democrats of the State may prop
erly expect. It shows beyond question
that if they are able to reduce the av-
erage majority Of 10000 twenty-five
per cent, bringing it down to Il, 900 a
similar decease of the Grant vote all
over the Union would insure the elec-
ton of Greeley and Brown by an
overwhelming majority of the electoral
vote. 1t would be f,irer to compare
with the last State election majority
in a year when Grant was candidate.
The State was then carried by 20, 4o3,
and twenty five per cent reduction
even Oh this would indicate a percent
age, which, if carried throughout the
Union. would far more than insure oul
triumph. We should like to see the
Liberals do much better than this, but
in view of the tyrannical organization
of the Grant party and their lavish
expenditure of money in the cam:
paign, it is possible that they may fal
a little below it. They have made ;
most gallant fight, but the odds were
overwhelming from the start.

Miss Estelle Sarah Livingstone, is OF
English birth, twenty-five years OF

She had determined to become Jew

The Geneva Award.
,[From the n. Y. SUM-

The rumor comes from Geneva
that the Arbitration Tribunal on the
Alabama claims has made an award
of damages to the amount Of $l7 500,
600, to be paid by Great Britain to the
United States on account of the dep
relations committed by the Alabama
and other Confederate cruisers. As
suming this report to be true, the
present owners of these claims will be
entitled to receive from the United
States Treasury this amount of mon
ey in proportion to their several
losses. We say the present owners
of the claims, for many Of the orig
inal owners have parted with their
interest in them to spectators, who
are the individuals most interested
in the final disposition of the moneys
to be received from England on this
account.
BIT if the innocent reader supposes
that our Government, as the result OF
the Washington treaty, is simply to
receive the amount of money named
in the Geneva dispatches, or any
other amount, in full settlement OF
the difference between the two conn-
tries, he is greatly mistaken. The
same treaty which provided for the
submission Of the Alabama claims to
arbitration also provided for the ar
bitration of the claims of British sub
iects against the United States, and
claims Of this character are now under
consideration by Il board appointed
for the purpose. What sum they
amornt to no person seems to know.
As long ago as March 81, 1864, no
less than four hundred and fifty one
claims against the United States Gov
ernment were on file in the British
Foreign office. These claims included
damages for the capture or detention
of vessels, the imprisonment OF Brit
isl subjects, the destruction OF cotton
and tobacco, and other acts arising
out of the war in great variety. But
they did not include many cotton
claims for greater amounts which
were filed at later period; neither
did they include claims registered at
the british Mission in Washington.
The total number OF cases in which
damages are claimed against our Gov
crnmelt is very large, amounting to
millions and millions of dollars, and
these. tt must he remembered, stand
as an offset against any damages
awarded in our favor by the Geneva
tribunal.
It would be rather disappoint-
mcnt to those who have built such
high hopes on the results of the Wash
ington treaty if it should ultimately
turn ont that instead of receiving any
money fsom England the balance
should appear against us III the final
settlement of accounts. But even il
such should prove to be the case the
| United States will now be committed
to the payment OF the American citl-
zc,rs who hold the Alabama and kin
dred claims, which is an excellent
thing for them, however it may affect
the national treasury. The adroit-
ness Of the management which has Sc
cured this result cannot be too highly
estimated by the fortunate claimants
among the largest of whom, we have
/ good reason to believe. are some OF
| the very men who have borne u con
spicuolls part in the negotiations be-
tween the two countries upon the. snb-

Grant column to its opposite. Add
these to the States already Democrat

Electoral votes necessary to a choice.
But Missouri is clearly ours, and her
fifteen votes leave but fourteen more

October, out ofNew Hamshire, Rhode
Island, Arkansas, North Carolina,
Ohio, Illinois, and others scarcely less
probably ours.

The Shreveport Times says of the
crops: One of the leading planters in
this parish specially impressed it upon
us the other day that we request the
pious people of both city and country
not to offer up aHy petition for rain.
Indeed, q heavy rain now would do in
calculablc injury to the cotton. Near
ly all that will ever open is open now,
while the fields are banks Of dust A
rain weuld not only beat out aud into

but would cover wild, dirt tiiat left ON

which was bout one lr,lfaldrt. ItMas
no unusual thing that year for 7sn aud
500 pound bales to be packed i'll press
es that would only turn out $50 pound
bales of clean cotton.
A large planter on the river above
here informs us that the worms have
completely stripped the cotton in that
neighborhood. and that no crop will

tempts to disintegrate it have utterly
failed.
To sum up, the skies are bright and
Frightening. Grant and his corrupt
legions are doomed to ignoble and
thorough defeat. The peoples money

the peoples will, and when the sun

RAILWAY SPEED.-Fifty and sixty
miles an hour for railway travel is
oftcner talked about than realized. A
speed of sixty miles an hour for a
regular passenger train has never been
attempted, except in one instance, and
that on a wide seven foot gauge In
England. This rapid speed pleased
travellers very much, and many will
ingly paid the large extra charge for
being. shot along over the ground IT
the rate so great rs to render the way
stations of the accommodation trains
almost invisible. But the railway
company soon found they had passed
the practicable limit of the endurance
of wood and iron. They found that
the ''wear and tear" induced on both
road and rolling stock. OF such exces-
sfve speed was beyond the endurance
of finance, and that high rate of speed
was consequently abandoned. There
are but few trains now running on the
best wide gauge, straight roads in
England which average II speed of fif-
ty miles an hour. The express traffic
is usually done at the rate of thirty
five to forty miles, while the ordinary
travel is about twenty y-two. Railroad
travel in this country is much slower,
and necessarily so, in consequence of
the lack of solidity in our roads and
rolling stock, Our ''lightning trainsn
scarcely reach, and very seldom ex-
ceed, thirty five miles an hour-in fact
our fast trains do not average over
thirty miles, while our general passen-
ger traffic does not exceed an average
of twenty. Freight trains usually
run about sixteen to eighteen miles
an honr.

Extraordinary news has come from
the stars. DR.. Higgins, the eminent
English spectroscopist, by uniting
spectroscopic appliances with a teles-
cope which has been placed at his dis
posal by the Royal Astronomical So
ciety, in London, has made remark
able discoveries. He finds that many
of the stars are travelling far more
swiftly than has been supposed. Sirius
is receding from the earth at rate
exceeding twenty miles a second.
Arcturus is travelling toward us at q
rate of SOME fifty miles a second. DR..
Higgins can trace tendency among
the stars in one part of the heavens
to approach the earth, while the stars
i'll the opposite part of the heavens
are receding from us; and the stars
which are approaching lie on that side
Of the heavens towards which Her.
schel long since taught us that the
sun is travelling. But there are stars
not obeying this simple law; and
among. these DIR. Higgins recognizes
instances Of that community of mo-
ton to which a modern student of the
stars has given the name of star-drift.
It happens that one of the most re-
markable instances relates to five
we'll known stars known to .astrono-
mers as Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon
and Zeta, of the Great Bear, all Of
which are drifting bodily through
space, and receding from the earth at
the rate of about thirty miles per
second --L-
