In the later nomination for the
House OF Representatives both par
ties have shown mo g good sense
than in the earlier ones, by rcnomi :
mating those who had served fS' th~
fully one or more terms. This is
speciality notable among Democrats,
AS the opposite course had been in
tho summer. With tho rcnomina-
ton OF llunton, one of the ablcst
and pnrost Representatives from
Virginia, against whom a noisy
opposition hail been made, tho tide
seems to have turned. That con
sorvativo old Commonwealth has
often. in our history, been the bar

whclmingly strong in other sections,
have beaten in vain. Among those

WAsHlNGroN, Sept. 13, 1885,
Sufficient news has come from Maine
to make it sure that Hale and Pow.
crs, two Of the Radical candidates
for re election to the House of
Representatives, are dcfcatcd that
there is no election of governor by
the people and that the Legislature
IS ln doubt. Unrcllccting people
rush TO II conclusion, because ull
this was not done under the
Democratic name, that tho Demo
cratic party Of the State is to be
"absorbcd' by those who laborcd
with it. Such is SO far from the
fact, as / know from long acqunin-
tancc with tho politics of the State
and from M extended trip through
several counties during tho cam
pniSn, that the best and most re
llabio Democrats arc tho ones who
assisted in the late victory They
have long been Democrats, they are
now Democrats, and they will re-
main Democrats. Tho whole sir
nlticnnco OF the election is tho dis
astcr to tho Republican party and
corresponding gain to The Demo-
cratic party. 1t is, indeed, the de-
struction Of Rcpublicanisrn in Maine,
and tho preliminary move on tho
part of tho people of tho State
to return to the Democratic
party. No man familiar with the
Pine Treo State processes to SEQ
loss than this in it.
The effect in other States will
generally DO excellent. The effect
upon the coming House of Repre-
sentativcs is to destroy any hope tho
Radicals may have hnd of carrying
1t. The Speakership, which Mr.
Garfield bargained for with Mr..
Hayes, is farther from the control
OF eithor than any Of us thought, u
year ago, was possible. House md

A Daniel Come to Judgment.

In tho effort mado by certain
bondholdors to throw the South
Carolina Railroad into the hands Of
q receiver, Mr. d. H. Chamberlain
charged certain officers of tho road
with fraud i'll their management in
diverting securities and profits, and
of one he said:
CAS- stockholdcr his personal
interests arc adverse to this suit,
but as director ho has boen
charged with the management Of
tho company. And ho poor inno-
cont man, knew nothirg of the
syndicate. All that 1 have rccitod
was done, and he says he knew
nothing Of it. / think somo more
specific evidence would be required
that II director knew nothing of all
this. Tho presumption will be
that if he did not know he ought to
have"
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke to much
greater extent, and in his conclud-
ing remarks said that he would say
that tho management Of affairs had
been covered thick by ''fraud,
inlidclity and violations Of trust
were it not for the position in
which were some of tho gcnt!omon
present.. lie also laid some stress
upon the point made that the hold
CTS Of the alleged illegal bonds were
fully cOgnizant Of the terms OF their
issuc, and that hcnco these bonds
were i'll ''suilty hands" We have
nothing to do with the charge
raised by Chamberlain. But has
it occurred to any one that the
aN>Attorney-Gcncral in the re-
marks quoted above has convicted
himself! by virtue OF his office he
WAS Il member Of thc notorious
financial board Of this State that
issued fraudulent bonds by the
buShci Chamberlain always plcad.-
cl ignorance OF that fraud. But
the public think With Mr.. Chumbcr-
lain that the a!l',irs OF The board
"werc covered thick by fraud, in
fidelity and violations Of trust" and
that "morc specific evidence will be
required that the Encouragement
knew nothing OF I'll this" Out of
Chamberlain S own mouth comes his
condemnation ut last.

Music in Maine.

Maine has had tho biggest kind Of
n State election, and the Radical
party has received n black eye. For
twenty two years, in fact, ovor since
tho birth Of tho Republican party,
Maine has oloctod continuously her
State ticket, the Legislature and Il
solid Congressional delegation.
NcXtto Vermont, she was tho "safcst
State IN tho Union. And yet when
tho band began to play on election
day, the music ground out was
very different from what had been
anticipated. Three tickets were in
tho field, tho regular Republican,
the Democratic, and tho Groonbacli.
Blaine and Halo and tho othor
Rapublican 1oadors advocated the
hardest kind of money, and their
opponents took tho opposite tack.
The result is that Connor, the Re.
publican candidate, lacks about nine
hundred votes Of having majority,
and tho guborDntorial election will
go into tho Legislature. The Sch
ato has n Republican majority of
nine, and the House an opposition
majority of soven with nine districts
to hear from. 1t is thought tho
Democratic candidate Garcclon will
30 chosen. But the most important
tight was for Congress. Tho Re-
publlcans elect throo mon, tho
Democmts ono, and the Grcen-
backers ono, n Republican loss Of
two, in ono Of their strongholds.
Eugene Halo, tho Radical leader Of
tho House, and the chairman of the
Republican Congressional Commit-
teo, tho same follow who put out
tho blood and thunder proclama-
tion about tho Potter Committee,
and new rebellion, has been left at
homo. Halo was a vindictiyc little
devil, and in Congress ho lost no
opportunity of insulting the South.
Ills defeat is peculiarly gratifying.
The Now York Herald says that
the Republican defeat in Maine
proves that tho party is doad, and
that it is has not tho ghost of a
chance for securing tho next House.
Grant alone can save it. and in the
opinion of the Xeruld, it is not
very probable that he will consent
to lead SO forlorn hope. The
Her0l0 believes that only some
grave blunder will prevent the
Democrats from succeeding in the
presidential election of 1850.

more profitable and more desirable

For THE NEws.l
 Knovvledge for the Farmer.

Nature ia leading source of knowledgf. When we speak of botany, physiology; hu- man and comparative, geology. mineralo- gy. chemistry. we speak of departments oi the knowledge of nature. Every one oi these lie near the life and calling of the farmer. Why should the mere scientist study botany and chemistry and the phys'- ology of man and the lower animals; an
 the farmer, to whom they come SO neai' not study them. You may give the ready answer. "The scientist cultivates kno"l- edge; we cultivate land" That answer h a clincher to men with the traditional lm- .plements and the traditional ideas hanoe' down from the venerable past. But II while those yet free from the traditional yokes would cultivate little knowledge
 while they cultivate their acres. they Wou''' soon see that the sc:encss have been left t' the theorists long enough. The natura' sciences of right belong to the prscuca' workers. They will return to such witt all their untold advantages at certain nx' ed price: psinstaking labor, applying th' heart to search into these treasures. It come still nearer to the farmers accustom ed thoughts and daily life, the very land l. an important source of knowledge. Tak' the rude area of given piece of earth
 Certain scientific problems are to b. wrought out upon It's surface. Science goes little beneath the surl ace, beneatl the first five inches with sub-soll plough beneath even the sub soil plough with al undsrdrMn; science will bring out of tha rough piece of earth one set of results. th' common worker will produce quite anoth CT, although quite the ordinary set of re suits. The latter will not credit the grea things science claims it can do with givel piece of ground. He would hardly believ iehe saw with his own eyes. that of o one acre ot land in one season six and
 quarter tons of hay could be harvested; ye :. a leading agriculturist in Eastern Mass chusetts reports such result. Who has
 better right intelligently to scrutinize thes claims of science than the tillers of th soil? Young man, if only you will cult
