If the Republican journal desires the re-
moval of Collector Roberts on public grounds,
if is taking the most etlrrtual course 10 defeat
ITS object. Prog. Age.
Bless you, we don't want him removed
By all means let him remain, and illus
trate the principles on which the admins
tration is run. When we charge the party
with being corrupt from centre to circum-
ference, some people may doubt the as
sertion. But when we point to Barnabas
as fostering useless official in his depart
mcnt and stealing three fourths of his sal
airy and still retained after the fact is
proven why, the charge is established.
The Bible tells us that 1.-the years of the
wicked shall be shortened" but we would
like to use Barnabas for while before he
shall be cast into outer darkness.
The man over at Lewiston who has
invented perpetual motion declines to al
low the machine to be seen at work. No
body ever will sec it moving by its own
power. When man can get into bushel
basket and lift himself by the handles, we
shall be ready to believe in perpetual mo-
ton machines.

Was more disgraceful story ever told
OF an Administration or a party than that
contained in Mr.. PERKINS, testimony? And
yet this is only the beginning of the reve-
iations that are to follow, and which will
stamp Grantism and Radcalism as the
free institutions. With these and similar
facts before them. will the Senate OF the
United States compromise its dignity by
permitting this man Spencer again to take
his seat in that body :? If it does, then
the majority indeed sink honesty. dignity,
decency. manhood and everything else, in
the partzan.

We take the following extract from private
letter received here from New Orleans:
The Compromise Z" or Adjustment" so
called, has so far proved barren of benefit to
those who are suffering, viz, the unfortunate
property owners and the unemployed laborers.
one or two bills for the relief of delinquent tax
payers were passed by the adjusted legislature,
but in such imperfect form as to be almost
imperative, even should Kellogg sign them,
which is thought doubtful. Our daily papers
will tell you of the movements afoot to relieve
the terrible suffering reported as existing among
the unemployed and the poor in our city. The
half is not yet told. Starvation is threatening
people not reckoned in either of these two
classes. The history of this unhappy city and
state may, during the coming summer, assume
the elements of tragedy. Even now bread riots
are considered imminent.

The Prog Age has been interviewed by
''an influential democrat" who don't like
the course Of the Journal towards Barna-
bas We have heard of him before. He
is closely allied to 1.-the intelligent CONTRA
band' who used to come 20 Washington
during the war; and report terrible things.
Whenever the Age gets cornered, this sin
tluential democrat" comes out of his hole
and record his disgust at the course of the
Journal. His sympathy with the much
riddled Collector arises from the fact that
Barnabas furnishes the Goldfish of which
his hash is made. Being thus of-fish-ially
connected with the collector, of course he
has sympathies. We don't blame him.
Human nature is weak, and Goldfish are
useful about the house

the touch Of each others shoulders, take
counsel for the coming contest, and know
that they are supported throughout the
state by those they have known and taken

hold upon the affections of the people of
his section He served in the Mexican
war, and was twice elected to Congress.
In 1856 he was elected Vice President on
the ticket with Buchanan, and tor four
years presided in the Senate with great
ability. In 1860 he was the nominee of

Out in Kentucky, where the republican
party, propped by the national offices, has
just vitality enough to keep up an organ
ization, they passed at their state convcn-
ton the following resolution
Resolved, That the attempt of the democratic
leaders to create the impression that our patri-
otic president desires or seeks il reelection for
Il third term is an absurd device to disrupt the
republican party and produce division be-
tween it and the president. The charge has no
foundation in fact, and cannot mislead the peo-
pie of the country into a restoration of that
party TO power which came near destroying
the union of our fathers.
Unfortunately for this declaration, it is
Grant himself who creates the impression
1t is the easiest thing in the world for him
to remove all doubts about the matter.
but this he obstinately refuses to do. He
was repeatedly appealed to just before the
late fall elections to authorize the declar-
alton that he would not be a candidate,
but utterly refused to do So Such a reso-
luton is easy enough in Kentucky, but let
it be attempted in Maine, and there Will
be hornets nest aroused at once

to be asked whether Barnabas has had his
finger in any similar pie in this region.

into this district in the last four wears.
Under these circumstances would it not
be well for the government to have its eye

The Goldfish of BarnabaS has the tail of Il pol

he sell "sWalow tailed cod"' The like has
been known.
We really wouldn't do any injustice to
the high official of the revenue service
A man may steal salaries, and vet not
cheat in Goldfish. Besides, our artist, in
the bird's-eye view that he necessarily
had, may have mistaken the tail that was
untolded on the occasion. Let Barnabas
have the benefit of the doubt.

AN OLD PAPER From Hon. n. G. Fletcher

AN Old PAPER. From Hon. y. G.. Fletcher,
of Camden, who has Il taste for antiquarian
matters, we have received 4 copy of the East
trn Argus. of the date of Dec. ~, 1914. The
Argus was then coffee cOlored little sheet, 10
by a inches, published weekly at 'two dollars
per year one in advance" War was then
raging between the United States and England
The number before us contains portion of the
correspondence between the commissioners of
the two countries, who were then at Client
endeavoring to arrange peace. Some alluson
is made TO MeDOnough's victory on the lakes.
One Andrew Jackson was beginning to be
heard of in the South, and is reported as hay
ing captured Pensacola from the British. The
most interesting news is that of the naval
battle in the harbor of Fayal between the L.
S. priyateer brig Gen. Armstrong and Il fleet Of
three heavy British ships of war. The brig
was surprised While taking water and at night
fall Capt. Reid, believing that the neutrality Of
the port would be violated, warped his vessel
close TO the shore, and prepared for coming
events. He was soon approached by four
armed boats from the enemy, who attempted
to board, but were repulsed with terrible
slaughter. Returning to their ships. they re-
turned with twelve armed boats, and tried it
again. They Jared worse than at first; many
of the boats were destroyed and sunk, and two
remained alongside the brig, loaded with their
own dead. 1t was the bloodiest engagement
Of the war, the British losing 10 officers and
men. Next day the British hauled their ships
in and with their heavy guns knocked the brig
to pieces, the crew escaping TO the shore. The
brig had two killed and seven wounded. 1t
stirs the sluggish blood of modern DAYS to get
hold of one of those time stained old papers,
that seem pervaded by the smell Of gun-powder,
and read of such stirring events.

Great excitement exists in New IIamp-

tested seats for state senators. One ease
was that of Nathaniel Head, who was vo-

legal, would have elected him. If thrown
out Priest. Dem would be elected In
the other ease, if sixty votes cast for a
person ineligible TO the Office are thrown
out, the Democratic candidate, PROCTOR
would be elected
Coy Weston and his Democratic coun-
ell referred the matter TO the Supreme
Court The Chief Justice replied that
there would not be time enough to decide
the matter within the time fixed by law.

TO consideration of the cases, and decided
that The votes should be thrown out IN both
cases, thus electing Priest and Poctor,

came ten mercantile travellers. or they are

they have been visiting the principal places in
the eastern part of the state, endeavoring to
turn an honest penny. They report that they
found business remarkably dull for the time Of
the year, and that they never took such small
orders as on this trip. Money is very scarce,

respectable showing of sales was running for
