THE Maine Standards one of those Demo-
| cratic sheets which is accustomed to substi-
tute vivid and very unreliable imagination
for facts whenever 1t touches a political topic.
In its last issue it gravely announces that re-
ports from the 'fnner clrcle' of controlling
Republican leaders ''say that Governor Ding
ley is not to be allowed to run again." because
of his efforts "to do away with some abuses"
and "to economize public expenditures etc.
Now the Standard knows that this statement
is all bosh. 1t Is well understood that early
last fall Gov. Dingley indicated his desire 10
retire from the gubernatorial chair at the end
of the second term for which he had just been
elected for reasons entirely personal and that
he has repeatedly since expressed his wishes
in the same direction. 1t is quite possible
that there are those who may desire that
Gov. Dingey should retire for those reasons
suggested by the Standard and other per-
sonal considerations but it we'll understands
that there are not enough OF that class to
make up the 'inner" or outer circle of Repub-
licans who desire this course, to effect any,
thing ofthe kind.
1t nay be proper to add that we have seen
a large number of letters from leading Re-
publicans in all parts of the state and have
heard the expression of others-Republicans
who represent the best sentiment of the state
and who are not actuated by personal con-
siderations and jealousies-al of whom ex-
pres the opinion that Gov. Dingley should
again be the party candidate. We think we
express the sentiment of three-fourths of the
Republicans of the state when we say that
they desire that Gov.Dingley should again be
the candidate.

News and Other Items.

The famous Orange cou nty, N. Y, mare,
Millers Damsel, died last week at the age of
% years.
Brown, the famous sexton of Grace Charch.
New York, began life as a carpenter. He now
has country seat and is rated at quarter Of
million.
There was a grand dinner given in New York
the other day, on board the French line steam
er Amerique. One of the local papers says
SIT is difficult to believe in the hardships OF
sea-faring life when on board such vessel as
the Amerique." This suggests the idea that
the sailors abandoned her, for it was the Amer
ique that was left at sea, because life on board
was too easy.
The Franklin fund of Boston is estimated by
the treasurer to amount to between S190,000
and 5000. 800, and at the centennial anniversary
of Frankln's death, fifteen years hence, when,
in accordance with the provisions of the orig
inal bequest, it is to be used for public improve
ments, it will probably amount to double the
present sum. The fund in Philadelphia, orig
iualy the same as that of Boston, amounts to
only $46,S35. The difference is due to tae su-
peror financial management of the Boston
fund.
The Glasgow News says: "The change Of
proprietorship of the Evening Star, and the is
sue of the paper from the Office of the Glasgow
News were announced by 1,025,0O0 little hand
bills, which were printed in the incredibly small
space of half an hour. Such feat OF rapid
printing, we believe, has never before been per.
formed, and it would have been impossible to
perform it but for the Waller press. The pro-
cess was Interesting. The small handbill,
measuring three inches by two, was reproduced
by stereotyping to abe extent of 1856 times, and
by 1000 revolutions of the Waller press the
million bills were printed. 1t occupied ten
hours to cut them up with steam guilotine
and they were distributed throughout
the town from the windows of two carriages.

THE advocates of hard money who were
banking law at present because the business
of the country does not demand an increase
of bank note currency and because In the
present condition of the finances capitalists
will not invest in national bank circulation,
have had their opinions justified by expert
ence The Boston Advertiser points out that
more Southern and Western capital has been
withdrawn from investments in circulating
notes than has been invested in them. Since
the goth of June, 1874, says the Advertiser,
legal tenders have been deposited to redeem
circulation surrendered in the following
amounts from the several sections: New
England, $5O7, ,0C0; Middle States, $3.50, 900;
the South, $4,703, 900; the West, $6,315,00O;
Pacific states and the Western territories,
$270.OOO; total, $17,296,0OO. New banks had
been authorized up to the middle of March in
the following sections and amounts of cur
rency (ninety per cent. of pad-up capitaD:
New England, $162, 900; Middle States, ST.
144,O00; the South, 81, 773, 900; the West, ST.,
67O,OOO; the territories and Pacific states
$10S,O00. Up to February applications were
received for new capital or for more crculat-
ton on capital already paid in, to the amount
of 50, ,555, 900 from New England, 100000
from the middle states, and 1891 900 from all
other states. In Match the eastern and mid
die states applied for $4,000 new circulation
for bank already organized, the Western
st ates for 100000. Applications were receiv-
ed from Eastern and middle states for 81, AGO.
900 new circulation for new baks; from the
South for 100000; from the West for $780,
900. The result seems to have been roughly
about as follows, the transactions during the
month of February being absent from the ac-
count: The eastern and middle states had
last June $235, 100000 bank currency. They
have surrendered about six million, and thew
have taken $6,6000,000 new currency. The
rest of the country, the states and territories
which were destitute of currency, had $119,-
100000 circulation last June, and have sur
rendered $11, 2SS,000 of this amount, only
$4,e42,O00 has been taken again. While
therefore, the aggregate note circulation OF
the country has been diminishen since last
June by more than six millions, the whole
reduction is due to the states where the de-
ficiency YVES alleged to be greatest, and While
the clamor ofree banking was loudest.

"a. Examiner and Patron;
Owing to a failure so far, to OBJ
tain correct list of the subordln-
ate Oranges in the State, we have
concluded to say to the officers and
members of the Oranges who failed
to,receiye the circular letters of the
directors of the Texas Grange man
ufacturing Company, that they can
act upon the matter by referring to
the letter'a it appears in the col
umns of your paper. We are turn
ing out three hundred dollars worth
of finished stock per pay, and on
Wednesday next the 9th inst, ex-
poet to start on full time, from
which date we will turn out six hun
dred dollars worth per day. This
increase of production we deem ne
cessary to meet the demand that
the influence of the Order will Gre
ate for our wares the approaching
season. We will only add that so
far everything is encouraging and
feel assured that a united effort is
only necessary to enable us to meet
the high expectations of the mem
beers Of the Order.
It is unnecessary in the effort OF
the Order to establish this enter
prise, to make very strong pull,
but it is essential y necessary that
theypuN all together. As an in
vesti entlno legitimate business can
promise Better returns. We have
the requisite facilities for prodnc-
ing the best of articles and at as
low figures as the same can be man
ufactured at in Louisville, KY. 1t
would be better for the interest of
the business as well as for the gener-
al interest of the Order for the stock
to be taken in small amounts by Pa
irons living IN the various portions
TEe4 Il would sugges. that
every Che who has the interest Of
the enterprise at heart, and the
means to spare 70 take one, two,

1.-THE QUALITY OF MERCY. We
oten hear the Executive abused for a
too free use of the paldoning power, and
in many instances there can be no doubt
but the discretion vested in our Governor
is worked upon by false representations
and Executive clemency misplaced.-
Yet after all, there is a difficulty in dis
tingu>hing between the false and the
true, the proper and the improper sub
jects for mercy, which could well puzzle
the judgment Of one to whom applica
tions for pardons, for rcprieves or for
combinations OF sentence are thing Of
almost daily occurrence. The following
paragraph from Governor Pacheco' 5
message strongly illustrates the case:
8 To the punishment Of a convict is ad
.ded often, not alone the pain, but also
the misery and actual destituticn of the
innocent, for whose wants he would pro-
vide if released, aud this, too, in cases
where crime has been the result Of pas
sion, not dishonesty. The tears. importu-
mites, and expensive efforts of friends and
relatives are supplemented by petitions
fairly entitled to great weight by reason
OF the social standing and property inter
-cst> Of the signers. Pardons are applied
for almost hourly. In deciding upon the
applications, it would require something
more than qualities Of mind and heart
merely human to avoid errors but ] be-
lieve such errors have been quite as fre,
quent in denying the petitions as in
granting them.
1fa board were organized with author
ity to examine every application for par-
don, and transmit it to the Governor with
recommendations for his action in the
premises, the final decision could be made
more readily, perhaps more Justly. Leg
islative recommendation for pardons are
necessarily OF little value"
