While the subject of reform is under
consideration, the Washington Patriot calls
attention to the fact that he books of the

was a defaulter in the sum of $4,000 and
that the same individual has not paid the
amount since he became President. AS

How Maine is Farino.

In the course of some comments upon
our remarks concerning the failure of
Stockton shipbuilders, the Prog. Age
says
But what is il about building up ficuris hing
towns; Under the republican policy ten -four
ishing towns have been built to one under lhe
democratic. Never in our history has there
Deen so rapid Development of the resources
OF the nation as there has under the rule of the
republican party. Never were there so many
thriving towns and villages springing up, ana
never were the great industrial classes of the
people so prosperous as now.
We were talking of the effect of the ad-
ministration policy in Maine, which imme-
diately concerns us who live in the State
There may be communities in the west,
where the public lands have been lavished
in the building of railroads, that expert
ence temporary prosperity There are
manufacturing communities that, under
the unhealthy stimulus Of the high tariff,
have temporary growth. But in both
cases, Maine is robbed to furnish the
means Of this apparent wealth Look at
the census OF last year. Why has Belfast
decreased Why has Waldo county lost
1000 inhabitants since 1860 ? Why has the
State of Maine lost SO largely Of 412
incorporated cities and towns in this State,
three hundred have actually lost popula-
ton, fifty more have barely held their
own. And this the Prog. Age calls "build-
ing up fourishipp tOwnst',
The causes of this are not difficult to
learn. He who runs may read The great
coast industry of shipbuilding is taxed to
death, and the mocha MICS thrown out of
employment have to emigrate. Then the
State taxes imposed by the party in power
are perfectly enormous During the ten
years ending In 1860, the taxes for sup
port of the State government averaged
less than 100000 per year. In the ten
years from 1860 to 1870, there have been
levied and paid into the State Treasury
81 ,372,S1l, an average Of 81, 1877 ,2Sl per
year, and almost six times as much as in
the previous ten years Besides this, seven
ard half millions have been added to
the State debt.
Is there any wonder that business men
tail, that the people emigrate, that towns
afe depopulated And this the Age calls
building ten fourlshing towns where un-
der Democratic rule one had been built !

been so long at the publ" rib that they tit it to
an exact nicely.

We're evidently, in their minds interviewing

blow chance for a dip in their direction.
Monday brought in the cold Liners, who
invariably turn up at this time Of year TO aid
the cause Of some favorte candidate, either for
friendship or paw, and to saperintend the organ
ization generally, by seeing that All Sin plays
every card according to the radical Hoyle.
This being done. the next step is to beg some
postage stamps and stationery from the Secre-
tary's office, go home and wait with as much
patience possible for the next winter to give
opportunity for capturing another sheet OF
stamps, more writing material, and a jack-knife.
If these venerable men should happen to drop
link In the mortal coil and go to their reward
above, or below, it would be extremely doubt
full if the General Court could be properly or
ganiZed and got in running order. The ''old

tenances of some of these antiquated political

Chadbourne backed down As candidate for
Secretary of State after feeble splurge of some
months, and unless a new dicker is made be-
tween now and the caucus this evening, he will
run for the Clerk Of the House, Zemro having
thrown up his hand. The reason for this is
said to be that ROBBIE and Smith both being con-
nected with the Portland Press, it would dam

Ho, call the master from his bed, the servant

And let the household rise, and all midnight

A shroud of snow Is wrapped about the cold
earth's frozen breast.
The tall elm waves its leafless arms, the ghost
of summer time,
And thickly on the fir tee lies the frozen

And some God's silent angel has beckoned from
