when the democrats controlled the State

MAINE POLITICS.

In remembrance of our annual State
election on Monday next, the Boston Adj
vertiser reviews the political condition of
Maine, and mentions the candidates and
reasons for supporting Mr. Dingley. Re-
marking that the canvass has been very
quiet, the democrats having no hope of
carrying the State, the editor says
"Maine has been completely in the hands
of the republicans since the beginning Of
1851, when Hannibal Hamlin became
governor after the hard-iought battle of
1896. IN the more than sixteen years that
have elapsed since, the State has been well
and economically governed. There has
been but one great scandal, and that was
promptly ventilated and the offenders
properly dealt with. Otherwise there has
been hardly criticism upon any depart
ment OF the State government that was
worthy OF moments notice. The people
have good reason to be satisfied with the
party that has given them an honest and
cheap government, which has rarely been
persuaded into any measure that gould be
called eXtrayagant, and under which 4
very good degree Of prosperity has been
enjoyed. The republicans have, indeed,
neen rather too conservative than too rad
ically progressive. a cold shoulder has
peehtorhed upon some projects that might
oy aludicious expenditure, have reversed
'''e process OF decline in population. Yet
we nave no doubt that the conservatism
mas been altogether acceptable TO n major
iiy of the voters.

comb who is considerably older, has had
scarcely any experience. Both are gen

both deserve the honor which has been

administered the government of Maine SC

ADDRESS At THE NEW ENGLAND
AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The address of DIR. George B. Loring at
the opening of the New England Agricultural
Fair, at Medford, Mass, on the 2nd inst, was
not confined to the usual topics discussed upon
such occasions. He spoke at first of the To-
eality in which the Fair was assembled. as
apiace surrounded by every industry besides
farming, but in which the highest in our sys-
tenn Of agriculture is best developed and re-
warded, where science must enter into the
work, where the fluctuations of the great
luctant to refer to the advantages attending
the American system Of landholdng, he had
dwelt upon it SO often. He WAS aware that
social elevation and individual thrift did not
always attend small landholding, and referred
to the condition of the French peasantrv to
refute any such theory. lie was also aware
that large landholding was not always attend
ed by privileged class on the one hand and
dependency on the others. The social relations
existing among the inhabitants of the West
ana racihc slopes would refute that theory.
Dut II was among the small farms convenient
located to market, superior in every re-
spect, the highest agricultural prosperitv
would be found, where the producer met the
consumer face to face. The most inteln,an.
rural population would be where cverv fsr,,,
er was the owner OF the land he cultivated
and the possessor Of certain social and c;,;,
rights, which it was his duty to deyelon and
protect. In endeayoring to solve some of the
most difficult questions which surround IN,
agricultural industry of the country, he wa
reminded that the products do not comman
largely remunerative prices at the point c
production. This was because of their uni
versal consumption, and the long and exper
sive transportation, which alone would brin
them into market. The carrier, the specus
tor, the manipulation, either in the mill or i
the store house, must be paid. In no way
thus far, had the producer been able to over
come in any degree this law of trade, excep
by resorting to cheap labor, or to cheap lands
so cheap as to require but little capital, and st
new and productive as to require no fertili
