Gayarnar King.

In Congress yesterday the statue of Will
lam King, Names contribution to ithe ma
tional gallery, was presented to the ma
tion by our Congressional delegation in
behalf of the people of the State. The
choice of our representative man is
fitting one. William King was something
more than the first governor of Maine. He
did more than any other man to secure the
separation from the mother commonwealth,
and his political views shaped the political
history of the State for more than thirty
years. With rare and limited exceptions
Maine, guided by the example Of her first
Governor, followed the fortunes of the DEM
ocratic party from the date of her admission
to the Union to the Presidential election of
1852, and her affections were only alienated
frem that great organization when by its
alliance with the slave power it forfeited the
sympathy and respect of its best elements.
The words in which Senator Blaine pre-
sented the statue to the nation yesterday
fully set forth the eminent services which
Gov. King rendered to the commonwealth
that he brought into being, and the causes
which brought about and the circumstances
which attended the separation of Maine
from Massachusetts. The political signifi-
canoe of the movements that led up to and
finally resulted in that separation have never
received from the students of our political
history the attention they deserve. That an
tagonism which, with the exception of the
time of stress when the two states stood
shoulder to shoulder in the great contest for
free soil and the preservation of the Union,
has always existed between the mother COM
mon wealth and the old District of Maine,
had Its origin as much in the jealousy enter
tanned by Massachusetts of the growing
strength Of her sturdy child as in any feeling
Of impatience of rule cherished by the people
of this State. The managers of Massachu-
sets dreaded "the growing strength and
boldness of the Maine Republicans" His
tory repeats itself, and to-day the minds of
the Massachusetts managers are not altogeth-
er free from the old dread and dislike. 1t
would be curious study TO search out the
reasons for the origin and continuance of this
estrangement.

the Begums doubtless have the passions Of their
kind, and think good deal of the "set' into
which they are asked. The new British order
makes, we think, sixteen "orders for ladies'
now existing in Europe. Bavaria leads the
list with four-the orders of st. Elizabeth, Of
Theresa, of st. Aune of Munich and of 81.
Anne of Wurzburg. The Oldest of these dates
from 1866. Austria confers the proudest of sll
such orders, that of "the Starry Cross" founded
by the Empress Eleanore in 1868 Mecklen-
burg gSchwerin gives women now and then the
Grand Cross of the Wendish Crown; the Shah
of Persia was gallant enough to found the Or
der of the Shah for ladies in 1873; Prussia has
two-the Order of Louise, founded to celebrate
the virtues of his noble wife by Frederic Will
liam III. In 1914, and the Gross of Merit,
founded by the Emperor William In 1871.
Gear Pt .er of Russia founded the Order of S.
Catherine for women in 1714, and King John
Of Saxony founded the Order of Sidonia in
1871, in which year also Charles Of Wurtem-
burg founded the Order of Olga in honor Of one
of the best of queens and of women. One of
the most highly priced Of these orders Is that Of
st. Charles, founded by the unhappy Empress
Charlotte of Mexico, because nobody who has
it not low can ever get it.-N Y World;

Current Comment.

The country yearns for a bulletin about
Patterson's vertigo.
General Mcclellan looks upon Mr.. Mills, OF
Texas, as most gifted prophet.
Jones rises from another perusal Of that
$4,000 silver report and remarks that be is
confident. So is the country.
Why Mr.. Bristow's friends should take
this time to throw him at the head of the
public as presidential candidate is q good
deal of conundrum. 1t will require din
ner week, with an accompanying speech, TO
keep him in mind, and two years of that sort
of demonstration will be expensive and wear
isome as we'll as futile.
Secretary Sherman is quotedsas saying he
believes in using silver, but only for honest
purposes. Upon this is based a prediction
that he will secure compromise. The silver
agtators will never compromise on that
basis. There is not a man of them who does
not declare that he wants unlimited silver, or
none at all. This is well.
Thomas III. Benton used to say, "a man
with a gold dollar in his pocket has that
much positive value, representing so much
labor, so much food or other property. he

The Temperance cause was never more prosperous
in the State than now, for which should be most
profoundly grateful Still there are important sub
jects which will demand our attention. Shall we
ask for any change or amendments in the Prohibi-
tory Law? Shall we protest against granting license
to sell intoxicating liquors to the druggists? Shall
ask for any stringent penalties to be nict,
ed upon persons found intoxicated? These, and
other important questions will doubtless demand the
attention of the convention.
Let there be general rally. The usual reduction
of fare on the railroads may be expected.

A MIsoHIEvoUs body is the Congressional
silver and greenback association, lately organ
lied. 1t held meeting Monday and chose
Buckner of Missouri president and Phillips of
Kansas secretary. A resolution was adopted
that the objects Of the association are to Sc
cure the reconciliation of silver and prevent
the resumption of specie payments. Ben But
Ter, who took part in the meeting, declared
that the Bland bill il vetoed must bo attached
to an appropriation bill and again passed.
The general sentiment was that no appropria-
tions should be voted unless the bill was
signed. The association declared that it had
no purpose of forming new party. Its OBJ
ject is to force its measures through while the
honest-money men are divided on the old
party lines.
