TIE returns of the export trade of this
country continue to indicate an enormous in
crease of business over any preceding year.
The New York Bulletin gives the statistics
of our chief portion July, which show that
the value Of shipments of merchandise dur
ing July reached the sum of $25,621 ,503,
against 20,060,9SS last year. The value Of
exports during the first seven months of the
year at the same port was $165, 109,384
against $126,5I9,471 in 1872 "a gain of
thirty-eight and half million dollars, being
a general gain of thirty per cent. These
figures are exclusive of specie, the ship
ments of which have diminished. The de-
crease in the exports of specie and bullion
from New York in July, 1878, from those
of the corresponding month in 1872
were more than seven million dollars,
and for the seven months of tie year sixteen
and half millions. Last year the foreign
trade Of New York during the first seven
months gave an excess of ninety millions of
dollars on the side of importations over ex-
ports, specie included. This year the differ
ence is but forty-nine millions, notwithstand-
ing the decrease in specie shipments. The
exports from Boston during the same time
show corresponding increase. In the first
seven months of 1872 they amounted to $14,.
54s, 1888; in 1873 they rose to 500, 1s2, 900.
The exports from Philadelphia, too, rose from
S10,556,e to SAB, 1858 in the same time.
The same is true of other ports for the same
period. For instance, Baltimore, Charles.
ton, Savannah. Mobile, New Orleans, Texas
and San Francisco, show a total gain of near
ly eleven million dollars.

many gentlemen distinguished in the world
of science as will be here the next ten days.
Taking in the whole county as the field from
which these gentlemen assemble for their an

central location, consequently many will DO at
great expense and much personal sacrifice.
1t is hoped that the citizens of Portland will
sufficiently appreciate the honor conferred
upon them to make every possible effort to
render the session of the association, in its
externals and attentions, of the most pleasant
character 1t is stated that quite sum is
yet required to carry out the programme Of
the local committee. 1t should be a matter
of local pride to see that Dothing of this char
acter is left undone. 1t is hardly necessary
to suggest to community of culture that the
exercises will be of deep interest and richly
worth daily attendance.

Convenient Principles.

Following after their Ohio brethren, our
Maine Democracy declare that the principles
of that party ''are adapted to every time and
circumstance That there could be set OF
principles so all embracing in their scope, so
flexible in their nature and convenient in
their capacity for adjustment as to be of per-
petual application, would seem to be an enig-
ma. When we come to examine the record
of that party for the past twenty years, we
find that the leaders must have forgotten that
fact or have taken frequent departures from
the Democratic faith.
For instance: Last year the party nomi-
mated man for the Presidency who all his
life had been fighting their principles of state
sovereignty and pro-slaveryism. For years the
leaders had denounced protective tariff and
advocated payment of the national debt in
worthless paper currency. He was opposed
to the party on both grounds. As protec-
ZIONIST, he was the most pronounced in the
nation; yet these principles "adapted to all
times and every circumstance" allowed the
party to make their opponent their candidate,
on platform that referred the whole ques-
ton of the tariff to congressional districts
Last year when congressman were to be elect
ed, no Democratic convention found it con-
venjent to give an opinion on the tariff, bu t
personally endorsed the great protectionist
and the platform that was approved by him.
This year when it is practically of no conse-
quence, part of the party conventions are
declaring with the utmost vehemence for free
trade. In 1858, the national convention de-
clared in favor of the payment of the national
debt in "greenbacks." Last year it declared
against reputation in any form. In 1865.
with great emphasis, the Democratic nation
al convention declared that the pending and
past constitutional amendments growing out
of the war were unconstitutional and void.'
In 1872, the party convention accepted them
in good faith and rejoiced mildly in so just
a settlement of the question.
Should we go back few years further, we
should find that the so called principles of
the Democratic party are directly opposed to
those they now accept as settled. Now the
average man must come to the conclusion
that Democratic principles are like ready
made clothing, fitted for all kinds of men
and always in style though shop-worn for
quarter of a century, or that they are made
In sets the one the exact reverse of the other,
or better, that the Democratic party has no
existence except as the ghostly show of few
old leaders who really believe in the resolu-
tions of '9S.

THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES. = The Daily
Chronicle denies that it has pronounced against
the competitive civil service system, and says:
'The President is not responsible for the wis
dom of the plan adopted. Congress passed the
law and the President is enforcing it in the
only practicable mode which has ever been sug-
gested by any responsible party. The reports
of the Examining Boards are not, of course,
conclusive OIL the question of the relative fit
ness of aspirants, but they can be made of some
use in forming satisfactory Judgment on the
subject. To that extent the plan is Endorsed by
the Chronicle, but the report of Board of Ex-
aminers cannot be positively adopted by the
President or heads of departments without vio-
lating the Constitution which makes it their
duty to appoint to Office. This duty they can
not transfer to others.

condition that has existed since last fall, The
shipping of lumber has slightly revived, but lit
tie is being manufactured, most of the mills
having shut down, both on account of drought
and difficulty of disposing of lumber Logs are
held at high rates which help further to embar-
ass business. As consequence of the dull
ness in the lumber trade, all other business is
at a stand-still There is some building going
on to make the usual local demand for lumber.

of the past fortnight is bringing people back

Our late protracted drought has had an unfav-

immediate heavy rains can counterfeit Rivers
and wells have. dried up to an almost unprece-
dented extent. If the light rain now falling
| should continue it will be of immense advan-
tage to our agricultural products, and in fact is
| the only thing that can insure an average crop,
THE SANITARY CONDITION
| of the city has been good thus far. In antici-
patton of possible cholera, Mayor Bass has wag-
ed an implacable crusade against all swine
within the city limits, and has succeeded in
banishing the unclean beast to the remote sub
| urbs. The drainage of the city has been looked
after by the health officer, and measures taken
to abate all nuisances which might have an un-
healthful effect on the public. The good effect
of these precautions is shown by the generally
healthy condition throughout the city.
