The Rockland Opinion, in persistently
representing the editor of this paper as
an office seeker, is wide Of the truth. The
only office we care to occupy is printing
office, and that we have already. When
it was believed that Mr.. Tilden would be
inaugurated, we said to many who men
toned the matter to us that we should
not be candidate for any position, that
our business required all our attention,
and we must be considered out of the
list of office seekers.

Quite an important case was tried at Rockport
last week, before board of referees consisting Of
associate Justices Virgin and Peters, and railroad
commissioner, John F. Anderson. The plaintiff
Capt John Mclntire, claims a right Of way thro'
uninterrupted travel for more than twenty years
across land now owned by the "Rockport Ice Co."
and establishes the fact that the land has been
on the other hand that their predecessors as OWL
of the estate in fee simple have prevented the
possessory claim from growing ripe by obstruct

periods Of less than twenty years apart.

Mr.. J. A. McMaster, editor of the Free

to a request as to the true condition Of

consultation in regard to his affiction in the legs
was held ten weeks ago, and the conclusion ar
rived at that the Pope may live 25 years His
intellect is unimpaired, and general bodily health

Eight of the locomotive engineers who
joined the strike on the Boston and Maine
Railroad, were last week convicted in the
United States court at Portland, of con-
spring to obstruct the mails. The pun
ishment in each case is fine from 81 900
to $4,000, and Imprisonment not more
than two years. The offence is very
grave one, the extent Of which did not
enter into the strikers calculations; but
the example will be wholesome. The eff
feet will doubtless be to put stop to
strikes on mail trains, and as any train
may be made mail train, to make sue
cessful strike impossible

1t is one of the peculiarities of the
Opinion to demand that the Democratic
party and its newspapers shall aid it in
crusade against every body and every
thing that incurs its dislike. We do not
choose to join the Opinion in a blatant
and ,senseless demand for free rum, be
cause that establishment has been raided
by the sheriff and CARLOAD of liquor
taken from it. Neither shall we denounce
Gen. Tillson for the reason that the Opin-
ion has quarrel with him. In our view,
the man who has converted rocky and
barren island in Penobscot bay into a
scene Of busy industry, that employs hun
dreds Of men and brings annually many
thousands of dollars into the State, is en-
titled to no small credit. We regret that
Gen. Tillson's political convictions lead
him to differ from us, but we do not fail
to remember that liberation is one of the
foundation stones of the Democratic faith,
or that Thomas jefferson recorded the
sentiment that "error of opinion may be
tolerated where reason is left free to com
bat it, Therefore while we commend
the enterprising business man, we shall
not the less differ from the politician.
Many of the successful industries in our
own immediate vicinity are conducted by
Republicans; still we have not thought
best, because Of their political views, to
slur and denounce their business, but
rather to commend and encourage it. We
believe that Democratic papers do best
service to the cause by pursuing a course
conciliatory, kindly and just, rather than
| that Of souring and repelling men by con
slant snarling and denunclation.
The Opinion processes to have proof
that Gen. Tillson improperly and unlaw-
fully interfered with the rights OF voters.
Those rights are amply protected by both
State and United States laws. The prose
cutting attorney in Knox, and the Z. S.
District Attorney are ready to apply the
law; and the editor of the Opinion, if he
has the proof Of his charges, is very much
to blame for not making formal complaint
| The law would be found much more eff
fectve than the columns Of the Opinion.

The result Of Russian patience, perse
verance and bravery have at last ap-
peared, in the shape Of the capture Of
kars. 1t is a very important and strong
ly fortified city of Turkish Armenia, the
position of which renders its possession by
the Russians of the greatest value in their
operations. Its heroic defence by Gen.
Williams, during the Crmean war, will
be remembered, when it surrendered only
to starvation. The disaster is an over
whelming one to the Turks, and may be
the means OF ending the war, as it places
a large portion Of Asiatic Turkey at the
mercy of the Russians.

Judge Tourney, in IA suit at Danville, Va, to
recover money paid on an election bet, has de
cided that Hayes was recognized President by the
decision of the Electoral Commission which was
ratified by Congress, and that the money which
had been paid over by the stakeholder is not re
coverable.
Now that is refreshing to a man who
likes to see square decision. No taking
of money from the hands of the referee
for the use of the public, but the court
comes in and adds the weight Of its judi
cial decision to that of the stakeholder.
