THE MAINE ELECTION.

Under date of Washington Sept Is we are
informed as follows:
The opinion of politicians of both parties
here is that the result of the Maine election
will be barren of any influence on national
politics.
Is the "opinion" inspired by the apologists
of the Administration and promulgated by
busy little Mr.. Simonton of the Associated
Press? The Maine Republicans in Conven-
ton assembled, declined to second the sug-
gestions of the Presidents itching friends to
endorse his policy. They preferred to hold
the party superior to any of the creatures OF
its choice, even President Of its making
So Rutherford and his hobbies and his Dolly
Warden contingent were left out of the cold.
That, We suspect, is the reason why the
"opinion" is expressed that there is no signif-
icance in the result in Maine. But something
is signifed. The Maine Republicans chose
to make the experiment of taking NJ, Hayes
at his own word and leaving Federal poll
tics out of their consideration. They pur-
posely ignored Mr. Hayes, and all phases,
pretentions and whimseys of his policy. And
they have succeeded in electing their ticket
and upholding the ascendency of Republican
discipline, organization and professions.
They declined to be handicapped by any
loads of Hayes or other substances cut and
dried at Washington.

We fell i'll with Colonel of the late Con-
federate unpleasantness the other day, who
gave us a curious story'of romantic and in
teresting experience. The overflow of the
levees on the Mississippi drowned out his
store and goods and reduced him in a short
half hour from independence to poverty, last
spring Then he came North to land of
promise, where he could find the friends of
his property and obtain assistance He got
as far as Baltimore, and from there became
tramp and walked to New York When he
arrived in that city he had thirteen cents,
which Re invested in clean paper collar and
had his boots BACKED. Having known Badly
Smith in better days he called on our Police
Commissioner and, poor and seedy as he was,
met with fine reception and got some money,
after other friends had refused him a cold
potato. For some weeks he wandered about
New York seeking for something to do, and
one of his friends (Mias Kellogg remembered
him in the days of old as her entertainer and
patron, and presented him with suit of
clothes At last he met accidentally gentle |
man formerly of the South who is Wall |
street broker, who gave him "a starter" in |
stocks, and to-day the Colonel is at Saratoga |
with a fast horse and several thousands in |
cash. Such are the ups and downs of life.

THE AMERICAN TEAM STILL AHEAD.

By telegram in last eve ning's Chronicle
we are informed as follows regarding the In
terRational Rife match of yesterday.
When the British team had finished firing
at the 80O-yard range, they had made total
of 300 points, or more than yesterday at the
same range. The following is the aggregate
of the numbers: Halford y, Colonel Fenton
20, Rigby Y, Humphrey Ga, Miner 20, Fer
guson 20, Evans Y; total, $50. The British
were one hour longer than the Americans at
this range, and from this fact an idea may be
had of the difference in the styles of the
shooting The Americans have now, barring
accidents, safe lead of AZ points thus far in
the contest.
The American team closed their inning at
the SO0-yard range with the brilliant score of
$40 as follows: Jewell, y; Blydenburg. 73;
Allen 20; Weber "a; Bruce IA; Jackson 20,
Daken 20; Hyde 70; total, 575. This is seven
points ahead of yesterdays score at the same
distance, when the Americans led their oppo-
nents by 10 points.
By dispatch in last evenings News,
(Which has come to hand since the foregoing
was put in the hands of the compositor), We
learn that the Americans won the 900 match
by Is points, and were ahead at the ZOO
yard target. They were 90 points ahead in
all with no chance of losing the match. AL

PUBLIC WORK AND PUBLIC DEBT.


There is much suffering in Washington be-
cause of those displaced from positions by the
government recently. The finance committee
IS attempting to amelorate the condition OF
the poor. -Press Dispatch.
We believe that this Government does not
employ half as many people as it ought to
employ We believe that an establishment
which exacts SO large an amount of the peo-
pies revenue to keep itself in running order
should be so conducted as to provide hand
some share of well paid work to the people.
Under the existing policy the people are dis
tressed to pay off a National debt proper
ton of whose payment should be left to flu
ture generations The niggardly appropria-
tons made for all descriptions of public works
necessarily force many thousands of people
out of employment and preclude others from
getting in. If the President would take a
step towards a practical and benefcent, in
stead of merely theoretical and demagogu-
ish reform of the Civil Service, he should be
found advocating such measures as would en-
large the area of public employment, thus
making the government take its share of at
fording relief to the very burdensome dis
tresses of the public. If Statesmen were less
afraid of the bugbear of Capitalization and
more fully alive to the tendencies and needs
of the times, they would observe with solici-
tude the unequal proportion of influence ex-
erted upon Congressional action by the great
corporations of the Country. The railway
companies and the Western Union Telegraph
Monopoly have an influence at Washington,
compared with which the influence of any
State is merely nominal State Rights, with
all its pretensions, has no adequate resisting
force to the oppressive exactlons of Mr.. Or
ton and his associates; and not even the Lost
Cause has a stronger advocacy on the floor of
Congress that the cruel railway system which
lately set the laboring classes of the North in
revolt against their grinding taskmasters. If
the Central Government owned or controlled
these tremendous forces, as it ought to, and
if the financial policy of the country could be
made to square with its emergencies and its
crying needs, the groans of distress like those
which are heard in Washington, would be
much less audible The debt is the property |
of the rich. It's too prompt liquidation is an
of the producing classes and the
habitually poor The Government should
provide more work and pay its debts more
gradually.

PINNEY AND SPAULDING INDICTED

The San Francisco Examiner of Thursday
says:
The United States grand jury, now sitting,
has returned four true bills of Indictment
against George NJ Pinney and Rufus C.
Spaulding, late naval inspector, on charges of
conspiracy and fraud in issuing and uttering
false certificates for money against the gov
eminent. Under these. indictments defend
ants will be tried in the United States Court
in this city. The trials will doubtless have
the effect to determine whether the
government is responsible and must pay the
certificates upon which the indictments have
been found, Inquiry confirms the truth of
above statement, though the grand jury has
not yet reported. Warrants have been issued
for the arrest of Pinney and Spaulding The
former has forestalled the action of tie
United States authorities by putting himself
in the hands of the sheriff on the indict-
ments found against him byahe county grand
jury. One of his bondsmen has withdraw
from the bond Spaulding is still at large-at
least he has not been brought to the county
Jail up to II o'clock P. l.. though he was not
seen on the streets this afternoon.

When Pinney's pals invited him to return
to California and take his chances of escape
from the penalties of his crimes, they proba-
bly, guaranteed him immunity from all seri-
Gus consequences in the Courts But they
meant State and County Courts. They knew
what power and influence they could bring to
bear upon Sheriffis, Prosecuting Attorneys,
Grand Juries etc. Also they knew how loose
is the practice in the State Courts and how
many loopholes there are in the criminal prac
tice act, through which a culprit may escape
They have probably carried out their con-
tract in good faith. Certainly Pinney has so
far escaped very adroitly. His Banker
friends have also had an interest and an infu-
ence in keeping him out of the Penitentiary.
But the way of the transgressor is not so easy
in the Federal Courts There the practice is
not so easily manipulated for the escape of
the malefactor. The Judges have a way of
charging the trial jurors which is very dis
couraging to crime and criminals. The
quirks and bubbles of the pettifogger fare
but poorly under the decisive, direct, and
mandatory instructions from the bench, So,
if Mr.. Pinney is the innocent man his organs
declare him to be, we shall be likely to find
out that fact But it is not likely that he |
will get his neck out of the stocks by any mere |
dodge Of sharp practice. He will get justice,
probably; and we do not believe that justice
is what he wants.

Says the chronicler of the Sazeracers

Strange and incredible as it may appear,
one of the members of the Sazerac Lying
Club is Missourian, and he is probably the
only specimen extant OF Missourian who
can lie. When it came his turn at the meet
ing last night he said that "back yonder in
Missouri there is a certain breed of sheep
on the tails of which there grows feshy pro-
tuberance. In the days of its lambhood a
platform is fastened to the sheep, ON which
the tail rests, and when the protuberance has
grown to certain size it is cut off and used
by the farmers for meat and the sheep turned
loose to grow another crop of the same kind
of mutton, which it produces twice year.
The member stated that in that part of Mis-
souri, all the sheep die of old age, as it is not
necessary to kill them for mutton. He offer
ed to produce the papers to substantiate this
story, but the president ruled that it was not
necessary and ordered that the lie be duly re-
corded on the minutes. 1t was SO recorded
and now forms an integral part of the Clubs
archives.

MEAN TREATMENT OF FAITHFUL EMPLoYE.
The Reno Gazette of Thursday relates the
following:
A few days Conductor Haywood, who run
different freight trains between Truckee and
Wadsworth, resigned his position as conduc-
tor on the Central Pacific. 1t appears that
about week ago engineer Peck took his wife
on the engine at Boca and allowed her to
ride with hin to Truckee. Some one was
kind enough to inform on Peck and he was
consequently fined $l5 and suspended for 10
days. Then the authorities turned their at
tention to Haywood and found that he was
not aware of Mrs Pecks presence on the en-
CINE The Company also ordered that he be
fined and suspended the same as Peck. Seys
Haywood: Gentlemen, pay me what is corl-
ing to me and get another man in my place. -
He has since accepted the offer of a position
on ap Eastern road. The c. P. Company
have, by little show of authority and un-
severity, deprived themselves of
one of their most competent conductors. The
Central Pacific is noted for it's small tricks
