nREAcn or PROMISE.

And now IL Is Max Strakoseh, the i'm
prsssario. who Is arrested on q charge OF
breach Of promise. and for his kindness
to . young iady is to be subjected to a
ye1atious suit at law. Mr.. Strakosch
says that the suit il in prosecution OF .
scheme Of blackmail. This may. or
may not. be true. The u fact which
will strike most readers 10, that these
suits for breach Of promise are beeom-
ing alarmingly frequent, aud that they
are seldom or never brought except
against men Of reputsd fortune. and
those occupying high positions in the
worlds estimation. II Is q sad rsfiec-
ton that woman has become 80 low As
10 trade upon the most sacred affection
OF human nature. but such seems to DO
the case. Max Strakosch Ia q compar-
ativsly old man. and not n whom the
average maiden would be liable to be-
come sinitten with. Miss Smedlsy Is .
young woman. and her avowed object Is
to force 80. 900 from the imprsssario's
Golfers. True love can never DO ssti-
mated in dollars and cents.
In this enlightened age no suit for
damages for breach OF promise should
bs tolerated in our courts. Such suits
are . disgrace to civilization. Marriage.
in . legal point Of view. is an institution
simply to protect society from the bur
den Of supporting an army Of illsgiti-
mate children. 1t forces the father to
care for his offspring. and here its func.

The harmony of the Democratic and

danger of being disturbed by the compc-
tition for office. Our neghbor Of the
Age, who initiated the party in this coun-
ty, and has served it so well, is IN dan
ger of being called once more to drink of
the cup of disappointment His modest
request, we learn, is to be chosen Secre-
tary OF State. But, up pops Mcclellan,
with his assertion, 81 am Waldo county,
and dcmaj1dS to be made Attorney Gen
eral. 1t is pretty certain that Waldo
can't have both these offices, and besides
it is more than suspected that the Secreta-
ry of States place has been, by arrange
ment with Marcellus Emery, apportioned
to Penobscot most likely Tor his own share
OF the spoils. We are SORRY to say it,
but the aspect decidedly is that the willy

is proving to be a worthless eNpedient
When in 1876 Sultan Murad set up his
printing press, he resolved to issue only
Sl3,5oo,O0 in paper currency, although
there were constitutional restraints in the
way nor was any part of the Empire at
liberty, like California, to nullity his
financial DEGREES. The Sultan's purpose
met With little respect. War being at
hand, his successor set the press going
again, and according to trustworthy cS-
Inmates he had issued 10y the end OF No

that purpose. But the old fashioned
laws of trade have now made themselves
heard. Finding themselves oppressed
with taxes and compelled to take depre-
ciated currency, the bakers simply re-
solved to suspend business. This has
brought Abdul Hamid to his senses
Fearing bread riots he has remtttd the
grain tax and appointed commission
to adjust the currency. The commissions

not prevent the currency from utter de

solutely unsaleable. The Massachusetts
Greenbackers propose to Danish "toreVer
from America the idiotic propositions of
making commodities OF shifting values
and articles of merchandise like GOLD and

L. NJ. Robbins, the publisher, stated yes
terday, however, that no such change had
been made or determined on. He said
the report doubtless arose from the fact
that some attempt had been made at a
settlement of the libel suit between Cen
Davis Tillson and himself and that Cen
Tillson had demanded, as one of the con-
ditioHs of such settlement, that Otis
should be discharged, but that he had
not given his assent to the arrangement.
