GENERAL ROBERTS is 4 BUSINESS

The democrats are representing General
Roberts as great business man. The
Bangor Wing, however, which ought to
know about the matter, says they made q
mistake and dressed the General in his
fathers old clothes. The Wing says;

Exhaustion and degeneration follow the excess

for repair. In order to maintain the wonted ener-

must be restored. When the expenditure Of BRAIN

TIE REPUBLiCANS FORMING ~ SOL
ID COLUMNS.
1t is evident as the election approaches
that the republicans of Maine are forming
in solid and united columns to give the
democracy their annual drubbing at the
polls. When we see Independents like
those Of the Watervlle Mail "pitch-
ing into" the fight in downright earnest,
we know it means that the republicans
are coming out in full force. The Mail
says:
There Is no evidence of wavering on either side
in regard to the distinctions heretofore recognized
between republicans and democrats. The old par
ty lines are as tightly drawn as ever. Those who
remember the rebellion need not be told what
these lines are. The men who stood upon them
during that long trial stand upon them now. There
is no giving way Of principle. The Pillsbury and
the Emery who were so noisy then are just as
noisy now; and the Roberts who resigned his
commission in the darkest hour of the rebellion,
is the Roberts to concentrate the entire democratic
party vote. On the other side the republican
leaders of that day, burdened with their faults,
are the leaders of the party now, Juggling with
whose wounds were then subjects of applause and
both sides than the one before US.
We hdce great confidence that THE RELATIVE
PARTY VOTE in the coming ballot WILL SHOW that
THE REPUBLICANS hare a GROWING VITALITY in

for him. Nothing can be much more

Two painters were employed to fresco
thewalls of magnificent cathedral; both
stood on rude scaffolding constructed
for the purpose, some eighty feet from
the floor. One of them was 80 intent
upon his work that he became absorb
ed, and in admiration stood off from
the picture, gazing at it with delight.
Forgetting where he was, he moved
back ward slowly, surveying critically
the work of his pencil, until he had
neared the end of the plank upon which
he stood. At this critical moment his
companion turned suddenly, and, al
most frozen with horror, beheld his i'm
minent peril; another instant and the
enthusiast would be precipitated upon
the pavement beneath; if he spoke to
him it was certain death-if he held
his peace death was equally sure. Sud
denly he regained his presence OF mind
and seiZing wet brush, flung 1t
against the wall, spattering the beauti-
full picture with unsightly blotches of
coloring. The painter flew forward
and turned upon his friend with
| fierce imprecations; but, startled at his
CHASTITY face, he listened to the recital
of danger, looked auddenly over the
dread space below, and with tears of
gratitude blessed the hand that saved
him. So we sometimes get absorbed
in looking upon the pictures of this
world, and, in contemplating them
step backward, unconscious of four peril,
when the Almighty dashes out the
beautiful images, and we spring for
ward to lament their destructiOn-into
the outstretched arms of mercy, and
are saved.

THE OHIO PENITENTIARY.

The Columbus correspondent OF the
Pittsburgh Commercial says of the pres
ent management of the Ohio Peniten-
tiary:
The new management of the peniten-
tiary is being sharply criticised, not
only by the Republicans who have had
to step out, but also by many OF the
Democrats who assisted last winter in
turning it into their own party's
hands by means of the all powerful
remedy of "a bill to reOrganize." There
wasn't absolute unity OF sentiment
when the trustees were appointed, and
it hasn't grown any better since. Those
trustees seemed to think that their sole
mission was to put their relatives and
friends into place. Their President had
two nephews and son-in-law to pro-
vide for, beside having an opportunity
to get rid of an ugly slander suit by ap-
pointing the suitor, his old preacher, as
char plain. Then the other trustees each
had their friends and relations to he
appointed. One a son, another
nephew and brother -in-law- SO that
by the time these were provided for,
there wasn't anything for anybody
else, except few vacant guardshipS,
where the pay does not amount to
more than day labcrer's wages. This
thing didn't please the boys, and there
was no little amount OF complaint
about it. Now, after years trial, it
is found that there is deficit of SIS, 900
or an excess of expenditures amounting
to that over the year before. The dis
cipline, too, is complained of, and only
the other night when search was
made through the cells scores of the
eonvicts were found to have provided
themselves with weapons useful in
revolt, while large box of odd tools,
hatchets, chisels, bars of iron and other
dangerous things handy to use in case
of an uprising. 1t was a rather start
ling thing, and if the discovery hadn't
been made just at the time it was,
there is no telling what might have
been the end of this conspiracy.
Taking it all in all, the new manage
ment of the penitentiary is not to be
regarded as success, either in an eco
nomic or a reformatOry point of view.
