Grccnbackcrs in Maine and Elsewhere,

The Republican platform in Maine ought
TO be satisfactory To the Grcenbackcrs, II
they have the strength which has been
claimed. Taken in connection with Mr.
BLAINE's speech. the direct issue is Joined
between their theory and that Of the hard
money advocates. or the five Congress
districts. four were carried by the Rcpub-
Leans ut the last election, In 1876, by major
tiles ranging from 2iGo to ., AGO. The First.
or Portland district, now represented by
T. d. REED, the mouthpccc of JoHN SHER-
MAN, and his counsel before the Investigate
ing Committee gave REED 1902 majority.
If, as is alleged, the Grcenbackcr- draw
their chief support from the Republicans,
and they have any considerable following,
they might throw some Of these districts
into Democratic hands by running indie
pendent candidates; or by forming coal-
tions they could make success nearly cor
tain in the localities whore their force is
well organized. They have nominated can
didatcs in three districts. evidently with the
intention and hope Of bringing the Demo-
Gratis over 10 their support by getting an
early start.
But the Democrats do not seem to be gon-
orally Of sclf-sacrlicing turn of mind,
especially when they can count their troops
in open day, while their proposed allies rep
resent an unknown quantity yet to be put
in shape and disciplined. Hence the greater
number are likely 10 absorb the lesser, or ms
the Fraudulent President classically puts it,
the most Greeks will win. Last year the
Grccnbackers pollcd in the whole State !. 2GG
votes. OF these ll23 were east in Andres
coggn, one of the counties in the Second
District, whore FRYE'S majority was $3.50 in
1876, and l,39s in Somerset, one VT the coun-
ties of the Third District, where LINDsEYs
majority was 29l3 The remainder OF the
Grrcnhach strength was scattered.
In 1871 there was no serious political cont
test. Both parties had mustered their fun
force in the preceding Presidential year,
and there was II lull by general consent.
The Democrats knew they had no chance to
succeed, and the Republicans had no reason
to summon their old guard, when the occ-
tiOn of their candidate for Governor was n
/ toregone conclusion. Besides. thousands
were dissatisfied with HAYEss hypocrisy
and chcanery, which had already begun to
be felt among the Republican masses.

Among the remarkable features Of the
Paris Exposition are the contributions from
China and Japan. The interest excited by
these collections OF the products Of Farther
Asia has called forth numerous publications,
from which we gain some important data
regarding the present volume and character
OF foreign commerce with those countries.
The first noteworthy point is the consid-
erablc falling off during the past few years
in the amount Of European trade with
China. For example, the aggregate value
OF exports and imports at the treaty ports,
which in 1873 reached nearly S2io,0oO Ooo,
had shrunk two years later TO S2l0,0Oo, 900.
This decline of twelve per cent was Of
course duo tn the prolonged dcprcs-
sion Of industrial and financial inter
es,s In the Western world and the
consequent curtailmcnt in the demand for
Oriental wares But no such crisis would
seem 10 have taken place in the Middle En-
pire, for the excess Of exports over imports

Jersey Justice * again called upon to deal
with crime as mysterious rs It is revolving.
The story told by Mrs. SMITH u Jersey City is
strange enough TO satisfy the most fastdious
Paris journalist who ever dahcd up horrors
with sauce piqudHie. Between I and 3 o'clock
on Thursdny morning she says. she woke M.
Something cold WAS on her face She pulled it
or it was n towel wet with blood. Beside her
lay the dead body of her husband His head
had been crushed in. his brcret was covered
with CHASTITY wounds.
Her shricks alarmed the household and tho
police were soon in the ROOM They found
there Il small phial Of chloroform. half empty.
Later, a carving knife was found. which II

There is lutte doubt that this is the weapon
with which the stahs were innifed-probabb
nitcr SMITH had been stunned. or Killed out
right, boy the second blow on the head.
OF course, the Jersey city police have their
theory Of the crime. and are working upon 1t.
II is much too early to assume the correctness
Of this theory Mrs. SMITHS story strange rs

whom her husband is said to have had words
on her account may bee wholly innocent. Sus-
