The Lewiston Journal publishes a statement
of the manufacturing products of Lewiston the
past year, which is a gratifying exhibit of the
crease in the aggregate volume of business over
that of the previous year, despite the recent

in manufacturing in Lewiston is 1864. The to-
tai value of the anufacturing of the city for
the past year is eleven and half millions of
dollars

We have been shown in the conspicuous case
of Genet, what kind of candidates command
the patronage of the police.
Street cleaning was especially confded to the
Police Board, under the de!usion that they
would do it. The mistake has proved costly

ton. There is no attempt made to render them
passable.
On the whole, the police organization is IRE

answer to all those cavaliers, who demonstrated
SO earnestly with the Republicans in the Leg
islature because they hesitated to confer the
unrestricted power of appointment upon the
perverse octogenarian whom the eccentricities
of politics had accidentally invested with
functions quite beyond his capacity
In some quarters there is disposition to
censure the recent appointment of Gen. Van
Buren,, the deposed commissioner at Vienna,
to japanese consulate. 1t is easy to see how
this appointment came about The General
returned from Austria smarting under deep
sense of the terrible humiliation to which he
had been subjected, and appealed to the Presi
dents kindness of heart, to break his fall by
some act of official recognition. This is kind
of..appeal which is never made in vain to Gen.
Grant. Holding as he has always held, that
Van Burens failure at Vienna was attribute
bic solely to his being unsuited to the require
ments of that particular post, and involved no
suspicious of his personal integrity, he was
perfectly willing to assign him to any station
which he felt confident he could fill satisfacto-

ity. In this as in hundreds of other instan
ces, he has proved how ccnsiderate he is of the

how ready to heal,a wound to the sensitiveness
of fellow being. Some people may fancy

| but if they will recall all that happened, at
the time and subsequent to Van Buren's SUI

there is for this deduction, the President and

confirmed Mr. jays action without reserva.

The BaptiSts and Taxation.

Our article of Friday in reference to the
taxation of church property and the reference
to the action of the Baptist ministers of Boston
at their Monday morning meeting of last week
has evoked the following letter from Prof.
Gould Of Newton, addressed to Rev. Fl. S.
Burrage of this city, editor of the AdDocate. 1t
may be proper to say here that the Baptists
have taken more pronounced ground in favor of
such taxation than any other evangelical de-
nomination.
NEWTON CENTRE, Feb. 18th, "a.
My Dear Barrage:-I can answer your ques-
t on happily, confidently and intelligently as l
was the one who made the obnoxious statement
about the Roman Catholic church. And s'pro-
priety and duty were Just the words that l
was careful not to use. And the article in
question no less mlsreepresents the entire dis.
cusson in which no other denomination except
Roman Catholic was at all Disseminated
against. The s'literary clubs" existing largely
not for The public good, but for private comfort,
and building for this purpose elegant houses to
accommodate select and aristocratic audiences,
were supposed to exist in all denominations, as
far as the discussion went. And the discrin-
inacOn was made against such single churches
wherever existing. The term was not applied
to any denomination as such, nor was any de-
nomination, not even our own, excluded from
the application of it. And moreover it was ex-
pressly stated that these were merely cases in
which the government might make an excep-
ton to the ordinary rule, because he principle
on which exemption from taxation was based,
did notappy in its full extent to them. But
the speaker who took this ground was careful
to say that he did not think it would be wise,
and would certainly be very difficult, to make
such Determinations; and that it would be bet
ter to exempt them with the rest. He named
them as making against his general principle
of non-tax alton, but contended that they were
too few to jnyalidate it,
Now as to the Roman Catholics again. The
ground taken was about the same as in the pre-
ceding case, viz, that the government would
certainly have right to tax them, but that
the wisdom of such an exception to the general
rule of non-taxation, was doubtful, for the pres
ent at least. OF course the principles sub
versive of government like ours are the well
known doctrines of that church in regard to the
relations of church and State, and their corol-
laries. And it was held that this important
position, involving real antagouism to the
State, SO neutralized their Service to the gov
<- ffc f PoDfo morals as
to inpalidase their claim to exemption on that
ground
The general position taken in the discussion
was that the State and the church were under
mutual obligation to each other, and that the
church by its efficient and expensive service in
promoting to certain extent the same great
ends as the State, might fairly claim that it had
done its part without paying its share of the ex-
penseS of government Il. P. G.

THIRTY YEARS is certainly long enough time to
prove the efficacy of any medicine, and that the Pain
Killer is deserving of all its proprietors claim for it is
amply proved by the unparalleled popularity it has at
tained 1t is sure and effective remedy. 1t is sold
in almost every country in the world and needs only
to be known to priced, and its reputation med
cine OF Great Virtue is fully and permanently estab

Pain is supposed to be the lot Of us poor mortals
inevitable as DEATH and liable at any time to

agents should be at hand to be used on emergency,

remedial exists in Perry DAVIS "Pain-Kiler," the
