Unfair as Usual.

And after all the bowling of the Augusta
official organ over this subject, the fact still
remains that Maize got only 525 cents per acre
for her lands. while some other states realized
as high as six to eight dollars an acre. and
were thus enabled handsomely to endow their
agricultural colleges, while ours is sadly in
need of funds, requiring $4,000 to 900
year from the public treasury to support it.
-Aryus.
Unfair as usual The Legislature of Maine
concluded that it was wisest to establish a
new institution. To do this it was necessa-
ry either for the state to advance the money
and hold the lands or sell the same. Against
the advice of some of the men whom the
infamous DR.. Jordan charges with fraud, the
Legislature decided that the lands should be
sold at once, and after being advertised, the
greater portion was sold at prices ranging
from. .523 to 571 cents, on the first day of
March 1866. The price received was nearly
as high as single land warrants were quoted
at the time. The balance of the land was
sold in September 1870 for "a cents an acre.
Now how did the states get from six to eight
dollars an acre? In New York the Legisla-
ture accepted the offer of Mr.. Cornell to
found the department contemplated by the
act of Congress in connection with an insti-
tuition which he had founded, on con-
dition that he should furnish the funds
and dispose of the lands. Mr.. Cornell
went West and located the lands here and
there, securing valuable tracts of pine
growth. None of this land was sold until six
years had elapsed, and we understand that
large part of it is yet unsold. For the rart
he sold he received, it is stated, 81 per acre.
Wisconsin is another state that gets large
sum from the proceeds of its college land
scrip. There the state advanced the money
and the state officials located the land and
held it six years or more and have large
part of it left. Being near the public lands,
the state officials were able to select the most
valuable timber lands, the value of which has
been more than quadrupled by keeping them
out of the market until the most favorable
time for disposing of them.
What would the argus, the Standard, the
Commercial and the balance OF this class of
papers have said, had the Legislatures of 1865
and 1866 voted large sum of money to es-
tablish the new college, and kept the land
scrip, taking the chances for rise? 1t
would have been a fine thing to have had
Republican like Ezra Cornell advance the
money and hold the land for better sale.
But Democratic malice reached that gener-
GUS man, and his years of pure life did not
save him from the calumny OF such partisan
blacklegs as DR.. Jordan.

THE Somerset Reporter of the current
week gives an account of the workings of the
Democratic Reform party in that county the
past two years. First, the Democratic-Re-
form treasurer has proved defaulter, but the
county will lose nothing, as his bondsmen
are good. In 1873 the Anson Aduocate and
Maine Standard made charges of exorbitant
bills made by the sheriff, which they termed
the "sheriff-grab." That year a Reform
sheriff was elected. 1t was of course expect
ed that the official charges of that office
would be reduced many hundreds of dollars,
as those papers, declared that thousands of
the hard earned money OF the farmers had
been stolen by the wicked Republican sheriff
and deputies. Not so; promises can be
broken. Democratic promises usually are.
The books show that Mr.. Chapman, the
Democratic Reform sheriff, has charged
larger amount for the same work than any
other sheriff ever did, his bills aggregating
139 per cent. more than any other sheriff
ever charged. Sheriff Chapman, the Re-
porter says, charged the county for twenty
six days attendance at the last term of court,
when he was present but six or seven. Such
is Democratic reform. But then Mr.. Select
man Hayden of Madison, who refuses to tell
what he has done with $4,000 of the towns
money, as state committee man, is leading
the "selred columns" of Roberts in Somer-
set

A TENNESSEE SToRY.-A correspondent of
the Courier-Journal writes :-"Andrew johnson
and Meredith P. Gentry, in 1855, were the
opposing candidates for Governor of Tennessee.
The leading organ of the Democratic party of
the state, at that time, was edited by E. G.
Eastman, who possessed the happy faculty of
stirring up the bile of political opponents We
make this statement in order that what follows
may be fully understood. The contest between
the parties was a fierce one, but johnson
triumphed. Gentry bowed gracefully to the
will of the people, and retired to his farm in
Bedford county. Two enthusiastic friends
Col Martin and the Rev. William G. Brown
low, soon paid him a visit. The latter is not
wholly unknown to fame. They tarried several
days, and when they were about to depart,
Gentry, taking down Bible and hymn book,
said: L never permit distinguished divine to
visit my house and leave without saying pray
ers for the family and neighborhood. Brown
low, you must pray The invitation was
accepted, and after chapter in the Bible was
read and hymn sung, they all got down on
their knees. Among the petitions that Brown
low offered up was this one: May the Lord
send beam of grace upon the heart of An
drew johnson and his man Eastman Gentry
at once sprang to his feet and exclaimed in a
loud voice, Stop, Brownlow, stop! If that
petition is answered, the plan of salvation will
be exhausted and the balance of us will be
damnedp"

The Western Storms.
An Estimate of the Damage 10 the Crops
A Cheerful Conclusion.

The Chicago Tribune of August Sd takes a
survey of the field swept over by the late storms
and comes to the following cheerful conclusion
~ The storms have passed over large parts of
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. As far
as these sections are corn-growing, the damage
has not probably beenI very great Where the
corn was still ripening, the rain would do more
good than harm, except where the floods act
ualy swept it away. 1t must also be taken in
to account that those sections visited by grass
hoppers in the early part of the season have
been replanted with second crop of corn, which
can hardly fail to be benefited by rains. and will
come in probobly with abundance, if the frosts
do not interfere. 1t is not likely, therefore,
that the corn crop will be short, though it may
rule at little better prices than for the past
two or three years. Corn, it must be remem-
bered is grown to larger extent in the sections
where the rain has been serious than any other
grains, and corn is less damaged either by the
rains or drought than any other grain would
be. The oat crop will probably suffer consider
ably; even where the oats are crushed down
under the beating rains and winds, it may be
novel with scythe and cured like hay. Much
of the crop may be thus saved. In fact, as a
rule, the farmers always save more under un-
the time of the misfortunes. The hay crop is
pretty generally cut and in stock, and will not
be seriously damaged.
There is little doubt that our crops, notwith-
standing the recent storms, will be ample
enough to take advantage of any increased
foreign demand that there may be, and give
farmers good prices. A week or more of clear
weather, with a northeast wind, will do much
to counteract the damage done by the storm,
and dry the standing crops and the land sufi
GENTLY to enable good harvesting. The pros
pect is, therefore, a favorable one on the whole
and the influence ON the general commerce and
business of this country will be decidedylgood.
The South can largely supply itself with grain,
and the surplus of the West may be drawn
upon by Europe.

Clerk of Courts.
To the Editor Of the Press:


The communication of ''Northern Cumber.
land" should be considered mere political
argument, for change of our Clerk of Courts.
L believe large majority of the intelligent
voters of the county are of the opinion that an
office like that of Clerk Of Courts should not be
given as a reward for mere political services.
There is not one man in a thousand, not of the
legal profession, who can make a competept
and satisfactory Clerk of our Courts no matter
how we'll qualified he may be as business
man. and l venture to say that the bench AMI
the bar will sustain this prediction 1t is true
the late U. Z. Harmon and r. A. Bird both
made excellent Clerks and were not lawyers
but they had both had long experience and
training in the office, and when elected had the
whole routine of the office business at their fin
ger ends, as you might say. When we have a
man who We all know makes an efficient Clerk
satisfactory to the court and bar, and the COM
munity in general, as our present one is be-
lieved to be, we ought to keep him there as
long as he will stay, and If political workers
are to be rewarded, let us give them something
suited to their capacity. One reason given by
your correspondent for change is, "that the
financial affairs of the office should be closed
u least once in fifteen years." when he
ought to have known that this is done annual
