The Leniston Journal pays the follow
ing deserved compliment to the Rep. OF
the 9th. District: The presistency with
which Mr.. Hale OF Maine, pushed the sal
AIRY repeal 10 a vote, deserves especial rec
ognition and praise. He took the lead at
the first, in regard To this measure and

no enyiable position. The repeal bill was
not child which any Representative seem
ed over anxious to father. However il
may have been with the country at large

ed this bill was for the time, the most mis-
understood or best abused person on the
floor. He was exposed to the incessant
fire of Butler and his guerilla skirmishers.

question and refusing to give way even to

and aspersion of motives were freely fiung
at him. Mr.. Hale had been taught by the
lesson of the three weeks debate before the
holidays. that TO yield the floor would be 10

even obliged to refuse Mr.. Dawes the
privilege Of offering an amendment. But
he held firmt o his purposes. IL was need
full that some one should have the stamina

ashamed that the needed person came from
Maine.

began by saying: | am to speak to you
upon three great questions that loom over

marshal the community, one part against
the other: they are grave ones too to
bring before a lyceum audience. In
America the most important interest is
education. The learned Erskine once said.
speaking of England. "Grand as seem
the kings, lords and Commons. they have
but one object, and that is to put twelve
honest men in box By which he
meant that Jury trial was the nucleus of
the political machinery of Great Britain.
If were, he said. to describe our Govern
ment in the same way, should say that
Americans. politically viewed, have one
purpose and tnat is TO put an honest. intel |
ligent, and independent man at the ballot |
box. The word government means some |
thing that holds down. holds back the |
passions. the furies and instincts of the |
people. In England it is literally true. !
