COENOR AND 10000 MAJORITY.
We hail with genuine satifaction the adj
vancement OF the name OF the gallant
General Selden Conner in connection with
the gubernatorial candidacy at the APP
preaching Republican State Convention.
Aside from the exalted opinion which we
entertain Of General Conner as brave
and meritorious soldier. aside from our
knowledge of his purity of life, his exem-
plary social characteristics. and his dignity,
scholarship, and marked ability.-impor-
,ant considerations in selecting Cover
nor,-we find especial qualification 10 the
fact thai the honest masses Of Maine are
to be permitted, in these times of political
strife and efirontery. to view another in
stance of an Office seeking the man and
not the man an Office. If he is honored
with q nomination it will be through no
efforts OF his own. His natural modesty
and distrust oi his own abilities would
never permit him to aspire to position
whose responsibilities no one better COM
prshends. 40 all the positions which he
has hitherto SO gracefully. filled, he has
been appointed through no solicitation Of
his own; such will be the case if he is
elected Governor Of Maine. Then. too,
he is not the man 10 intrigue and bargain
with rings or cliques, and his whole ma
ture would be averse to that process OF
political combination and persistent push
ing of his own claims, which has been too
much the rule among candidates for high
Office. If he Is called to serve the people
OF Maine, as we are assured he will be,
he VIII fully appreciate the honor, and
ably and faithfully perform his duties as
the representative of the whole people,
subscribing their interests before those Of
party, self or hobby. pc
Having the privilege of only briefly ex-
pressing our views at this time, we will
simply sAate our belief that General Sell
den Conner Is the most available man in
Maine to hear tbe republican standard 10
he apeesnshing Acampaign, and that his
will arouse an enthusiasm that
,annot be resisted. Bearing the wounds

THE NEW ORLEANS DISASTER.

A terrible disaster occurred at New Orleans at
about o'clock on Friday afternoon. Fire broke
out in the blacksmiths shop of the steamer John
Keyle, lying at the foot of Poydras street. Just
above the Keyle lay the Exporter and the Rodman.
When it became apparent that the fire on the Keyle
could not be extinguished the captain promptly
notified all on board to 90 ashore. This order was
obeyed, and the steamer cut adrlft and allowed
to float out into the stream. The eddy drifted the
burning hulk up the river; and those on shore
apprehending that the Rodman and the Exporter
would be set on fire. cut the hawsers of those YES
sells, This action proved disastrous, and brought
the very end it was intended to prevent. TIC
Keyle drifted against the Exporter and in mo-
ment that boat was in flames On board the En-
porter was the owner and an excursion party from
Pittsburg. The many people on this boat took
refuge on the Rodman, which was alongside. In
another moment, however, the Rodman also drift
ed together up stream and were soon destroyed
to the waters edge. The only refnge to the peo-
pie was to jump overheard. Some were rescued
but larger number were drowned, among whom
were the son OF the captain of the Exporter and
| the daughter of the captain Of the Rodman. The
number of fatalities is estimated at from twenty to
one hundred.
An eyewitness to the catastrophe, an old mer-
chant, says he arrived on the place just as the
boats had drifted out. The forecastles of the Rod
man and Exporter were then crowded with people,
who Just at that moment seemed for the first
time to realize their danger and become panic
stricken. In short time, he said, he saw over a
hundred people struggling in the water, some jump:
ed over with their trunks, others with barrels and
pieces of freight. The skiffs, Of some half dozen
WOO had been attracted to the spot, Immediately
dashed in and commenced rescuinQ these people
Some were saved in this manner, others swan tc
floating srars and logs, but he saw, he thinks up
| ward Of forty or fifty, among them he distinctly
recollects two women, drowned. There was Ia
mentable want of order or system in managing thu
tug boats, otherwise, in his opinion, many NOR,
mip hit have been saved. The scene he describes q
most horrible in the extreme, both by its sud
denness and its terrible nature.

book opens with the rudiments of music, and so
the work gees on until it closes with fine collec-
ton Of vountaiics by the best composers.

TRUssEs-PARTRIpGE Bros, Augusta, now
make speciality Of fitting trusses. Thousands
suffer from wearing an i'll fitting truss because
they have purchased some patent advertised hum,
bug or bought of dealer whose stock of coed
trusses has been so small tina. it would not furnish
a good fit though perhaps few cents might be
saved in the price of the truss. We have the largest,
best variety of these goods in the state, and our
experience enables us to select truss best adap-
ted tn any case presented. Every rupture or her
nia has its peculiarities which must be carefully
regarded in the mechanical adjustment of truss.

Such man, more than any other as it seems to
us, is Gen. Selden Conner. Not one OF the parry

by any partnership in political games, rings OF

What to do With the Tramps.

In every part of the eastern and middle
states, especially within walking distance
of our chief cities, the tramp is everywhere
male, female, limp lazy, insolent Every
country road swarms with them, and the
country people begin to look upon them as
an inevitable infliction, less dangerous
when fed and sheltered than when hungry
and at large. Refuse them food, and your
hen-roost pays the penalty deny them
bed in the barn, and they set it on fire.
They travel in gangs, and disperse to for
age, levying contributions right and left.
Their vagrant life suits them and, miser-
able as they seem to be, no proffer of hon.
est wages for honest work will induce them
to leave the road. Every season their num-
Der increases, and competition only increas-
es their audacity. Unless the evil is differ
emily dealt with, it will soon become as
intolerable as it was in Bavaria.
Fix the penalty for begging-at ten days
labor on the highways tor each offence
there is no danger of failing demand for
that sort of labor for the next fifty years.
Give to every citizen the power to make
arrests in cases of vagrancy and for every
ten days labor by the party SO arrested,
credit the person making the arrest with
five days toward the working out of his
road tax For his labor, give the tramp
decent board and lodging, and from ten to
fifty cents day as wages, according to
his efficiency. Let such n law be rigorous
" executed, and in little while we should
have better roads and fewer tramps.
The honest seekers for work would suf
fer less under such system than they do
now, when they are apt to be COMPOUNDED
with professional beggars, who are always
in search of job-somewhere else. II
seriously in need of work and money, the
temporary tramp would have to apply to
the road master, who would never be with
out employment to give and fifty cents a
day to pay tor it, The work hunter would
not be long IN acquiring enough to pay his
way further or to support himself until he
found work in the neighborhood. Farm
ers and others in want of help would soon
learn to resort to the road gangs to pick
their men, the volunteers being free to en-
gage themselves at any time, those under
arrest when their ten days were up.-Sci-

Transportation of National Bank
Notes.

Adams express company has notified the
secretary of the treasury that after 30
days from date they will decline to carry
national bank notes over their lines at the
usual rate of 25 cents per $1,000, because
of the risk being too great to insure profit
in the business. They propose to continue
the carriage of legal tenders the same as
usual, because with them they have guar
antee of indemnity in case of loss. 1t is
understood that the company will ask one-
half bankers rates. They claim that their
present contract amounts to about one
eighth bankers rates for the same work.
The proposed increase makes an important
question to the national banks.
