drill as an editor may improve ouririend,
and make him less wayward, politically
and otherwise.
In closing, we beg leave to remind on"
friend that the party PRO timting" the
principles of good government is not the
Democraticptrty. Ours is not the party
of CROOKED" maneuvres but of straight
forward Constitutional ways. Since 1861
the Democratic party has been out OF
power, and hence is not responsible for
the shoddy era, nor for Credit Mobilier.
Salary Grab, nor the present condition
of the country.

IT was President Andrew Jackson who
originally uttered the remark now at
tributed to Attorney-General Pierrepont
mo one man is absolutely needed in the
running of government" When Jack
son was turning out the oficeholders,
there was an old fixture in the treasury
whose friends pleaded for his retention
as an absolute necessity. on the ground
that he alone understood the complicated
business of his office, and that the treas
ury would be thrown into confusion by
his dismissal. "Turn him ort turn him
out!" cried Jackson, I'll have no man
in here who is an absolute necessity in
the running Of this Government"

THE CURRENCY QUESTION IN
BRLEF.

All this talk about resumption of spe-
Gle payments, contraction and expansion,
is sheer nonsense, so long as the Gov.
ernment repudiates its own money Let
Congress pass twoline act declaring
that the national currency, issued upon
the faith and credit of the Government
shall be a Iegal tender forALLd de6hs and
then, as the Government greenback dol
lar will perform all the functions Of the
Government gold dollar, the currency
question is settled, as one kind of money
is just as good asanother. The repuda-
ton act, passed by Radical Congress,
and stamped upon the back of the ma.
tional currency, is benefit only to the
Shylocks Of Wall street, and is unjust
and oppressive to all the industrial inter
ests of the country.-M, Z BanAer.

THE Sandusky registers account OF
a raid made on the treasury of Oltowa
county in the absence of the man who
was under bond for the safe keeping Of
the funds, must be read with much al
lowance for inaccuracies. There is no
law in existence that authorizes anybody
to take possession Of a county treasury
to the exclusion of the treas rer himself.
The law very properly provides for ex-
amindtions without notice, but not in the
absence of the treasurer. If itwere other
wise the treasurer would be at the mercy
of any thief who might be selected as
examiner. .-Aewark AdV0cate.

The Cleveland Herald says, editori-
ally:
Our first duty is to congratulate the
President upon this result. The convic-
ton Of Babcock would have been the
moral convi, ton of General Grant. The
country would have believed and justly,
that the guilt of one so near to the Ex.
ecutlve meant that the President himself
was negligent in the discharge of his
duty or connived at the crimes against
the revenue.
Just as some thought; Grant himself
was on trial, and it would not do to con-
vict. A jury verdict, however, is not al.
ways moral triumph and vindication.

SAYS Judge Black: "The legal tender
act was unconstitutional, is, and will be
SO long as it exists. A promise to pay

certain quantity of pine boards. can Con-
gress say the promise shall be fulfilled by
the tender of buckwheat straw ?"

THE Carroll Free Press seems to be a
Third Term Grant-Babcock organ. The
Carroll organ favors mixed currency,
"an equilibrium between the paper dol

make bondholders take it, too, at par
and the equilibrium is done; that is, "the
way to resume is to resume"

ESTABLISHED, A. D. 1888
Daily Kennebec journal., 1876-06-15

There seems to be modification of the Centen-
nial tree planting mania, and the minds of patri
otic men are being turned by the suggestions Of
the New York Times to the proposition-that on
the morning of the 4th of July, 1876, we shall all
begin the day by planting cat in his back yard.
Who can tell the result of such catastrophe !!
Should this feeling purr-vade the community,
where will be the nightly. restful concerts. 1t is
BY no means certain that we need single addi-
tonal tree but the next wall that sweeps from the
back fence will convince every thoughtful man
that we have at least SO 900 900 cats in of
our requirements. What a magnificent spectacle
would America afford the civilized world if this
vast array of cats was to be solemnly slaughtered
as slight expression of our patriotism and our
love for free institutions! The thing is perfectly
feasible. The cats are within our reach. and
every citizen can, at a small expense, provide
himself with Centennial cat within the course Of
the next three weeks. Let US then resolve that
we will not waste our time by setting out unnec-
essary trees but that when the sun of the next
Fourth of July morning sends his beams into our
back yards they will fall like so many aureoles
upon the brows of the precise number of freemen
mentioned in the last census, each one of whom
will be in the act of digging Centennial grave in
which to lay the Centennial cat that thoughtful
and intelligent patriotism has carefully prepared
for so noble and impressive ceremony.

be true that he that is unfaithful in
that which is least is also unfaithful in
much. New York is modern Sodom
"a perfect sink of iniquity, where a cut
throat and gambler is sent to Congress in
preference to a pure man. And New
York is democratic city. We must de-
eide, therefore, that our democratic friends
don't really mean what they say in their
leading resolution.
The second resolution is as gauzy as the
first. but the democrats have the credit oil
holding the first convention that has discov-
cred in the transactions of the present
democratic House of Representatives in
Congress. anything worthy of public
thanks. Carefully watching the proceed
ings, we can detect no measure that has
passed the House calculated to tighten the
public burden or diminish taxes and les
sen offices. though we find the re-
publicans voting for those measures
every time. We do find the dem
ocrats, on the very threshold OF
their newly acquired power, discharging
crippled union soldiers from petty offices,
and putting confederates in their places
giving rebel generals important positions
upon committees; consuming valuable
time instituting investigations for purely
party purposes. The people have tried
great political experiment, and not from
the democratic party should thanks TO
Congress come, but from the people that
they will have opportunity this fall to en-
ter their solemn and emphatic protest
against such misgovernment and abuse of
power.
We don't see how the third resolution
for hard money is to jingle with the atti-
tude of their party in Congress against
the resumption act. The democrats of
Maine may be in favor Of hard money,
but the democrats of Maine, even though
they swear by Sam. Tiden, are neither
omnpotent OR very influential in the coun-
ellis of the national party. This little hard
money boy from Maine, will be duly
spanked and sent to bed, at St. Louis,
while the western inhationists will run the
machine or smash it. The party, as a
whole, are no more to be trusted on that
question than on any other Of grave i'm
portance.
So, gentlemen of the democratic party
of Maine. you must excuse us from taking
stock in your public utterances made ct
Bangor. We don't believe you mean
what you say, and we shan't believe it
though Pillsbury should reiterate it.

In discourse in Boston, by Rev. w. F. MALTA
lieu, D. D., on Sunday last on the subject "Per-
sonal Detraction the Bane of American Politics,
the preacher uttered these words:
"The preacher spoke of some of the men who
have suffered from malicious detraction, and said
that it might not be out of place to mention that
distinguished man from Maine, Mr.. Blaine. No
man in this country, said he, was ever followed
with such unrelenting, bitter SANDER as that man
has been. He has been lied enough about to sink
a dozen men, and yet he stands up true to our
churches, true to schools, true to the old flag
and whether he is elected or not he will make a
grand, good representative, and the people of
Maine will stand by him in some capacity. The
preacher urged all Christian men and women to
refrain from participating in SANDER, to dscounte-
nance it, and to frown upon it, and he expressed
confidence in the future of the nation

Marcellus Emery and Mr.. b. Ass of
Bangor. were both snubbed by the demo-
cratic convention. The Wing says Our
Bangor claimants have been shabbily
treated in all the proceedings. Not only
was Emery thrown overheard as dele
gate-at-large to St. Louis. with the merest
handful of supporters, but also our Mr.
Bass. who certainly deserved some recog-
milton for his services to the party in the
last Legislature, was badly stepped on in
his aspiration to be a district delegate.
AS whole our democratic friends may
congratulate themselves on an un usually
good looking and harmonious conv ention
AS gentlemen said of it on the st rect -
The democratic party is like mincc
pie which has lost all the meat inside but
there are still left the upper and lower
crusts, and it was the upper crust that at
tended the convention"

1t is q significant fact that representative Of a
Manchester (England) house is in this country for
the purpose Of securing the shipment of certain
kinds of American cotton goods to England.
Buyers in that country have become satisfied of
the superiority of our best bleached sheetings
and the demand for them is steadily increasing
While it makes difference to manufacturers, for
the moment, whether one kind or another of our
goods shall find an export outlet, this is matter
which will soon regulate itself. Let it once be
shown that we can proftably compete with En-
gland a respects her own consumers, in any one
direction, and we have secured the beginning of
the end. That we shall speedily oust her from
her home market is not to be expected; but there
is evidently an uneasy feeling there in regard to
cotton manufacture. 1t is depressed as it is here.
At present the English manufacturer has the ad-
vantage in cheaper mach inery and money. We
have the raw material, lessening cost of labor
and superior inventive genius employed of ma
chinery. At the bottom, however, lies the ques-
tion Of the currency. That must be settled be-

THE NOKLNAT TION.

The representatives OF the republican
partv in convention at Cincinnati to-day,
will decide who is 10 be The next President
of the United States. From present ad-
vices, and from the unqualified and unmis-
taxable tone of all the dispatches, it
seems almost certain that JAMES G..
BLAINE is that man. The city of Cincin-
natl is wild with enthusiasm. and it is
generally conceded that Blaine's head
quarters form the centre of that enthusi-
asm. His friends are well organized, and
active in all directions, aud will carry his
banners to glorious victory. 1t is evident
that the forces of Bristow, Morton and
Conkling, are discouraged and weakening.
Aftor this the Southern delegates naturally
gravitate to the support of Names favor
ite son. Even the special correspondents
who have been unfriendly to Mr.. Blaine,
acknowledge that his chances seem the
best, and the leading newspapers that
have been in the same position are trim
ming their sails to give Mr.. Blaine a
hearty support. Our dispatches will be
scanned with interest. To-day's work
will tell the story, and then it will be time
enough to bring out the guns.
