The Senatorial Controversy-Naval and
Political History.

To the Editor of the Press:
The enemies of Mr.. Blaine have new griev-
ance in what the most moderate of them call
his "iujudicious'' allusion to Massachusetts,, in
his speech on Gov. King. Whether his re-
marks were judicious or not he must have the
credit of giving the Massachusetts, senators
notice of what he should say. In his reply to
Mr.. Dawes, Mr.. Blaine said, al took occasion
yesterday to notify both senators that in the
presentation of Gov. Kings statue to-day I
should feel compelled to narrate those portions
of history which brought him in conflict with
Massachusetts. and to speak my miud plainly
in regard thersto." Mr.. Dawes acknowledged
the service of the notice, and he ought to have
known enough of Mr.. Blaine to stand from un-
der after this warning, that he would proba
bly, hear something drop.
Mr. Dawes calls Maine the daughter of Mass
achusetts Let us for q moment examine her
authority to claim such parentage. She had
early and gradually extended her motherly
jurisdiction over the northern part of Maine
against the wishes and protest of the inhabi-
tants, especially those east of Saco, who were
Episcopalians. 1t is imm aterial whether they

Robert Gordon, whose biptismal font of bell

the present time. There the boats focked from
all the region round, ''like doves to their win

Massachusetts, to exercise their ministerial
functions and were imprisoned for SO doing.

grandson of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, who was

The Shoe end Leather Reporter gives this
sensible advice to those interested in the spec
ial industries Of which it is the organ: Our
brethren must summon all their philosophy
to reconcile themselves to bearing, with as
much patience as they can, their share in the
hardships which attend the progress the ma.
ton is making in the direction of more pro-
pitious era. Looking at the matter from the
standpoint of philanthropy, there is some con-
ISOLATION in knowing that, if the resources of
individuals are undergoing some depletion,
through financial mishaps, the people, as
whole, are gainlng-slowly, but not the less
surely-in substance, day by day. 1t takes a
long time, of course, to recover from the de-
vastation of civil war, or OF great confagra-
tions, and, while the process goes on, there is
pervading sense of impoverishment, which
is of essential service in promoting habits of
saving and economy. Taking a narrower
view of the situation, there is this material
ground for eDcouragement-that those who
are strong enough to surmount the tribula-
tionssof panic and shrinkage will presently
find the field of endeavor so effectively clear
of encumbrances that there will be nothing to
impede their future march to enduring pros.
