THE STATE CONyENTrON

How she President Regards the ResaIts.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE President does
not appear to be at all concerned by the results
of the Maine Convention. He interprets the
action of the convention as in the main opposed
to him. In conversation with gentleman who
called upon him yesterday, he, is reported as
having said that he was not in the least dis.
turbed by the action of that body, though be
would of course have felt greatly pleased il
the resolution indorsing him and his policy bad
been adopted As it was, the introduction of
the resolution and the speeches made in favor
of it showed what he already felt certain of.
that he was not without strong support among
the Republicans in the lumber state The
gentleman thinks the President is confident
that 1t will not be long before Maine will be
ready to indorse him. Referring to Senator
Blaine's speech, he said he was not all sur
prised by that gentleman's utterances, as he
had taken exactly the ground that might have
been expected from his Woodstock speech.
He also said that the proceedings of conyen-
tions like that held yesterday proved more the
individual infuencesof the prominent members
of it than the general feeling of the whole
body.

Light House Appropriations.

Since inserting a local notice in
reference to the light house appro-
priation for Point No Point, we have
been authoritatively informed that
the lowest price asked for the site of
~ acres was $1,000 instead of ST.
700, as stated. 1t is especially un-
fortunate that a liberal appropriation
of this kind, for a purpose embrac-
ing so much of public good should
have been rendered Intellectual for
the object sought, and reverted to
the Treasu ry simply because of the
penurious ideas of the Hon. "Light
House Board" who deemed the fair
and reasonable price, 1920 "exor-
tant." We question the ! dom of
these officials who, in their zeal to es-
tablish precedent for sharp trading,
allow the rights of the people, and
public interests to pass unheeded on
account of the pitiful sum of $1,000.
There will be ample time for many

lives and valuable cargoes, to be
wrecked on account of the absence
of beacon light at the location

ton is secured for the much needed
work. When public wants demand
that public money shall be used to
meet them, it is hardly necessary for
private individuals to either donate
property or sell it at a reduced price.

What Are Your Boys DOingi

1t has been suggested by promi-
nent citizens in town that attention
be called to the fact of so many boys
being allowed to roam at large, in a
great measure uncared for as fa- as
being brought under proper discip-
line is concerned.
The youthful mind is, of all earth
ly things, most susceptible of impress
sions. On its tablet is indelibly
stamped, everything with which it
comes in contact, either good or
bad-the one perhaps as readily as
the other. The old idea that child

tions much easier than to good ones.
is easiest explained as faIlacious by
presenting the cruel fact that there
is, in the proportion of good and
bad in the world, much more OF the
latter than the former, to exert an in

WAR IN EUROPE.

Since the opening Of the Idaho
Indian war, European struggles
seem to have lost much Of their in
terest to residents Of Oregon and
Washington Territory. Still, how
ever deeply We may be interested
in domestic troubles, to the exclu-
sion of matters Of more remote in
terest, the battling and struggling
for real or fancied rights goes on
among our European brethren; and,
in spite of our indifference, this Eu
ropean turmoil will produce a re-
sultant motion which, especially in
financial matters, will affect US just
the same.
At the commencement of, and for
some time after the outbreak of the
present European war, and when it
seemed more than probable that
England-possiblys all Europe-would
become involved, q vast amount of
speculation upon the result natural
ly followed. In view of present
prospects, the outlook indicating
that the war will draw no powers,
save those already engaged, into ac-
tive participation, materially chang
es the current of speculative thought
among the wisescres of our country.
Tslegraphic news announcing that
six Russian merchant vessels have
recently been transferred, in conse-
quence of the war, to American
owners in New York, though com
paratively a small item, belongs to
those 'sstrsws which show the course
of the wind" No matter what the
result may be, or how many powers
may be involved, one thing is GER
tain, viz, the United States will reap
substantial benefits in the way of e.
nances and commerce, for the reason,
so easy Of comprehension, that the
increased demand in the European
markets must be supplied largely
from the surplus American produce.
Late news establish, beyond a
doubt, the fact that Russia, in ad-
dition to ha ing effected a passage
across the Danube AZ different points,
is steadily following up her advan.
tages already gained, and concen-
trating her forces somewhere in the
region Of Tirnover, the ancient cap
ital of Bulgaria, preparatory to a
grand crushing movement. The
cool and calculating precision with
which the Russian forces have thus
far acted reveals the fact that they
are under able and efficient military
commanders. The Turks, aroused
to a pitch Of valorous determine
tion, are fighting with the frenzied
desperation which only hardened out
laws against common humanity can
feel. England still remains firm in
the avowed determination to inter-
fere, If necessary, to prevent Russia
from occupying .Constantinopls; /;
while Austria is getting nervous over
the probable ultimate designs of
the Russian government in case of
such q conquest over Turkey as
seems almost inevitable.
