" AS GOES Maine, so goes the Union."
is political proverb in Presidential cam
paign years. The rule has generally proved
true for the past forty or forty-fiye years,
and last year was notably correct, since,
starting with Maine, the Republicans made
a clean sweep of the Union. This year the
Democrats have practically abandoned the
contest. Perham, the Republican Cover
nor, will be reelected and all the Congress-
men returned without serious opposition.
No better proof of Democratic demoraliza-
ton could be afforded, since it always has
been maxim to carry Maine at all cost.

BErwEEN Fenton and Brown and War

BETWEEN Fenton and Brown and War
mouth, Davis was killed off.-EnqNirer.
We are sorry to see our contemporary
stacking water" so suddenly on Greeley,
especially when one Greeley is worth forty
Davises to the party to which the Enquirer
belongs. Perhaps that journal does not
like the looks of the 'drift."
Where it expected popular enthu-
siasm, il sees frightfully wet blanket
thrown over the entire Democratic press of
the North and West. Perhaps the best
thing the Liberal Republican" leaders can
now do, is to retire in body to some Wa
ter Cure establishment, and there take the
douche, incidentally recommended to the
Democrats of this State by the Enquirer,
when Walker walked into the gubernatoral
chair under an unexceptlonally "wet blan-
ket."

THE fact cannot be concealed or denied
that Judge Davis has been inhumanly
slaughtered in the house of his own friends,
and that Senator Fenton was the chief
butcher of the occasion.-Enquirer.
1t is too late to peck at that double
yolSed egg now. 1t was never designed to
be Matched out in the Cincinnati nest, by
any such astute old hens as Fenton and
Frank Blair. The egg caused too much Of
a" Labor movement in its nucleal stages
of development, to be taken up as sue
cess in the Matching oven at Cincinnati.
Double-yolked eggs never produce game
chickens. and they generally become added
before other eggs hatch.

TAKE II TO YOUR HOME.

1t Ia so much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of adj
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories to such q degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have wide circulation To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME, in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged corps of irst-class writers,
among whom are Jean Ingelow, Edward Eg-
gleston, Mary T.. Dodge, Louisa NJ. Alcott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spoford Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia q. Runkle, and many others, who
furnish to this Journal the best original stories,
of the purest character and highest grade-thus
conveying much instruction in a pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains a large amount of first-class
reading, editorials, literature, art, science,
amusement instruction for the housekeeper
the gardener, the farmer; Il capital department
for children and youth; the news of the day I;
flnancialtaud market reports, etc. Its engravinEs
costing over $25, 900 year. are of high order of
merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper In
the world. Altogether, HEARTH AND HOME
is such a journal as may be safely and very pro-
fitably taken into any family II is supplied at
the low rate OF 50 a year; four copias for Sll ;
and ten or more copies for $3.50 each.

, coRRrspoNnENr. writing from 81

A CORRESPONDENT, writing from She
nandoah county, is anxious to know who
it was that sent George Rye to the Cincin-
natl Convention. We have already repre-
sented in our local columns how the fellow
got there, and that was devoting attention
enough to him, in our judgment. We make
it a rule never to pick up the cast-off toggery
Of the Democratic party for any purpose
not even for such a pressing charity as
that of the Cincinnati Convention. Old
clothes must not be infected with any such
contagion as that which affiicts the Demo-
cratic cuticle generally, if it is proposed
that we should have any part in the public
charity of giving them away.

THE Virginia Delegation in the Liberal
Republican Convention contained but one
man about whom the slightest suspicion
would rest that he was Republican, and he
is an obscure carpet-bagger who came here
from the North Democrat, and was ar
rested at Norfolk for interference with col
ored voters. He afterwards turned up in
this city, became an extreme Republican,
and may have voted the ticket in one cleo
ton. The people of this city and State
were startled to see the announcement that
81. NJ. Peterson, of the Virginia delega-
ton, was enthusiastically for Greeley for
President" OF course no allusion is here
made to Mr.. Stearns, who is understood to
have left Cincinnati in disgust, declaring
that he never fell in with SO hard set OF
office-seekers.

Liberal Reform movement" meant moth
ing if it did not mean FREQ trade.
The Standard calls Cincinnati "Babel"
where set of ambitious politicians UNDER
took to erect monument of wisdom, but,
in confusion of tongues, constructed only
mountain of folly--a tower of sylabub,
froth, and most audacious bubble.
But we do not look to Republican jour-
nails for the more significant utterances in
regard to the nomination. The entire
Democratic press of the North is destitute
of enthusiasm for Greeley. They unhesi-
tatingly declare their disappointment at the
result. According to their view, better
and more popular ticket could have been
made, and they do not conceal their cha
grin and bitter disappointment that it was
not made. They say many good words
for Mr.. Greeley, las who cannotH but
they make up fearfully wry faces at the
prospect of swallowing him. No enthusi-
asm of the popular kind which swept
the country in 1910, can be work.
ed up after nomination once
falls like wet blanket. Everything
must go off favorably on the first impress
sions, or enthusiasm can never reach the
height of popular outburst. The most
that can be said of the movement is, that
it inaugurates campaign of fun and good
humor that Enthusiastically looks to the
broadcast kind of farce in the end. Mr..
Greeley may not see the extent and entire
purport of the joke until the curtain falls.
But we trust he will see enough then to
learn as much wisdom from other peoples
folly as he has lived to learn from his own
General Grants nomination and election
is now doubly assured. .us

stDACk-LOG STUDIES"

In this unique series Of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner, au-
thor of my Summer in Garden" is doing his
best work. Here we haye-in a pleasant fiction
of a talking group in front of an old-fashioned
country back-log-philosophi suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scription, social out-looks-and, enliyening ALL a
fresh, "crisp, yet juicy and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day. The Boston Transcript says that "for
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No, III 'rensws and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that we have in him humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says it Is the 'best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American OF English magazine has had for many
a day.; and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: "BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another of
these delightful papers will appear in the April
number of SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, which
will be for sale by all booksellers and newsdeal-
ers 81 year. 80 cents number.

AN important change is proposed in the
mode of doing business in the New York
Cotton Exchange, which, if adopted, will
have a marked effect on the transactions.
AS things are now, the Exchange is open,
and buying and selling continues all day.
Most of the transactions are in the " time
Market" that is to say, cotton is sold with
the understanding that it shall be delivered
at specified time, perhaps months ahead,
and the dealings arc based on specu-
lative estimates of the market at that
time. Of course dealer has to be pres
ent all the time in order to keep track of
the slime market" The proposition is to
have calls made at specified hours by a
superintendent, as in the stock board,
every month to be called twice in each
hour of call, and time enough allowed for
all transactions. This method, it is ex-
pected, will save time, as merchant, after
attending one call, could go about his
business until the next, and will give all
dealers an equal chance. Some of the
heavier dealers oppose the change, but the
majority of those interested have already
petitioned for it, and it is likely the system
will be inaugurated when the Exchange is
transferred to its new building.

In 1864 Mr.. Greeley said in the Tribune: :
"We do not know just where General
Grant is going to strike, but would advise
any one who may happen to be in his way
to get out of it directly" Pretty good adj

THE Hon. THOMAS A. SCOTT has
achieved another victory. We have al
ready referred to the passage in the House
of bill allowing the Baltimore and Poto-
mac railroad, running in connection with
and under the management of the Pennsyl-
vania Central, to erect = suitable depot in
Washington. The bill has for several
weeks been under consideration by the
Senate Committee of the District of
Columbia, during which period Mr..
Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and a large number of
other persons opposed to its passage, have
been heard by the committee. 1t has been
agreed, however, to report the bill without
amendment, which Is pretty good indica-
ton that it will pass without difficulty.
The travelling public will undoubtedly ap-
preciate the benefits which the passage of
the bill will confer. Baltimore is thrifty
and enterprising city, but there is no rea-
son in the world why it should continue to
be a toll-gate to the national capital.
Besides, this triumph of Col. Scott more
completely assures the success Of his enter
prises extending further South, and we
may expect soon to see a continuous
through line of rail from Richmond to New
York. This results certain to be achieved,
if the Bourbonism" of Virginia is not
permitted to block every important enter.
prise that looks to the future growth, power
and material prosperity of the State.
