Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, writes to
the Wilmington tDel.) Commercial that he
considers that the provisions Of the law passed
by Congress last winter for the resumption
of specie payments are well adapted to attain
the desired end, If faithfully carried out. He
says: MY feeling has always been that we
must reach specie payment before we can
reach steady prosperity-that i, not a pleasant
process, but that the difficulty in the way is
exaggerated" He adds: "The law OF last
winter, though not the best way, yet is the
best way attainable. Congress- would not,
and will not pass more direct act of resump-
tiono

IF Uncle Bill Allen was present at Carl
Schurz's speech and can understand anything
as modern as the English language he has
probably discovered what bank is. Up to
Tuesday nighta bank had been to him moth
ing but chest or a coffee pot or a stocking
where money was tucked away to keep it
from burglars. Under this definition it is
not surprising that he advanced the PROPOSE
tion that money in bank is no money at all.
The old gentleman falls into good many
absurdities from mistaking the age of the
world in which he is living. A perusal of
this years Almanac should precede his lee

"BREEBINa too fne'' was the comment Of
a gentleman from the country who attended
the State Fair and there witnessed the beau
tiful horses and colts. Now wasn't the man
more than half right? Isn't the tendency to
breeding horses for the trotting course and fan
cy driving rather than to the breeding of har-
dy and heavy animals which are needed in all
kinds of business that gives wealth to COM
munity? From a stand point of cost and
value, is the State of Maine richer or poorer
for the great number of beautiful but small
horses that.it is rearing? Business requires
heavy and hardy horses but will any one tell
us to what part of the State a purchaser can
60 to find such animals? 1t is admitted that
there is call for large number of driving
horses and that now and then one brings a
large price, but all the people owning or rails
ing horses in Maine cannot afford to keep
them for light business or pleasure driving.
As people we get along as we do by hard
work and it does seem that majority of us
require beasts of burden rather than fancy
ones. This, however, is an open question
which will bear public discussion.

HAD those of the Fall River operatives
who were unwilling to accept the terms of
the mill superntendents contented them
selves with lying idle and permitted those
who wished to work to do so without moles-
tation they might still have commanded some
sympathy from respectable people, for some
of the conditions insisted upon by the super
intendents were harsh and apparently unjust.
But their assaults upon operatives who chose
to 60 to work, coupled with their threats to
burn the property of the mill owners has de-
prived them entirely of all sympathy from
the public and made the superintendent firm
er in their demands than ever. Unfortun-
ately for the operatives at the presen, time
mills are as profitable when shut down as
running, and prospective profits, which often
times constitute an important factor in such
contests, are entirely out Of this controversy.
The operatives have everything to gain by
the opening of the mills and the owners have
nothing to lose by keeping them shut up.

THE Indians of the Indian Territory have
just harvested six million bushels of wheat
This is done by thirty tribes who few years
since were bellicose wanderers of the plains.
This tells something either for the peace pol

to rescue himself from barbarism when that
power is turned in the right direction.

Judge Taft of Ohio, Clinton B. Fiske of Miss

THE Massachusetts Republican State Con-
vention will be held to-day. The contest for
the nomination seems to lay between Mr.
Rice and DR.. Loring, though Cha.les Francis
Adams has quite following and may be SER
viceable as a compromise. OF the pledged
delegates Rice seem to have plurality but
therefare large number unpledged whose
preferences can only be guessed at, so that it
is impossible to predict with any degree OF
certainty who will receive the nomination.

REPORTS from various distributing centers
indicate an unusual and quite unexpected
briskness in business. Merchants are pur-
chasing quite literally and the work of for
warding goods to the West and elsewhere has
been urgent. The only trouble now is the
uncertainty respecting the mischievous work
of demagogues and that want of confidence
of which Mr.. Schurz speaks.

THR Machias Republican is a little abrupt

THR Machias Republican is little abrupt
with its contemporary the Union. 1t seems
that the ballots of two of the Democratic
candidates for county offices were printed
with initials or other errors instead of the
full names. The Union thinks that all OF
the ballots thus cast should be counted as
though they contained the full name. This
IS good Republican doctrine. Not to count
them when they were intended by the voters
for those men would be 10 take advantage of
technical bubble to defeat the will of the
voter. But here the editor of the Repub-
lican steps in and quotes history to show
that Mr.. Drisko, the editor of the Union in
1874, contested the seat of the Machias Rep
resentative onsthe most frivolous technicality
and failing, drew $13S from the state treas
ury as compensation for his attendance while
claiming the seat to which it was evident he
had not the pretext Of an honest claim. It's
the other OK now, that's what's the matter.
Still the editor of the Union sets himself up
as model, reformer and such.

Mr.. FULTON and his deacons have Lad
another fracas over the call of the latter
for a church meeting for the 5th of
October. He denies their right to call any
such meeting and the deacons are as strong
as their pastor in asserting that they have
such right. Fulton's latest announcement
is thai he was placed in Hanson pulpit by
the hand of Providence and that there he

DRAWING jury in legal manner in the
District of Columbia seems to be a difficult
piece of business. The Grand Jury by
whom the original safe burglary indictments
were found turned out to be illegal, and now
the jury who recently found the new in-

the new proceedings are likely to fail.

west, we suppose, as that Is the only
enemy we have just now. They speak
of enlistiBg only baldheadCd men, and
in that event they will try to irritate

all get killed in the first fight just to
get a good joke on the Indians, who
can't scalp them. The buttons have
already been bought for their uniforms.
The Grasshoppers will drill with
brooms, and the Baldheads won't drill
any, as they have made up the program
TO run at sight of the first foe.
