We have no interest in this matter be
yond most other citizens but dislike TO

OF himself as the conductor OF the Age
has done about this municipal court The
facts are these. Last winter there was a
desire expressed among legal men to have
the old Police Court of Belfast abolished,
and a Municipal Court established with
increased jurisdiction such a court as
exists IN many of the counties of the
state. This was urged for the reason
that such changes would facilitate bust
ness, and lessen the expenses Of the terms
of the Supreme Court, by disposing Of
the less important cases. Such action
was recommended by Attorney General
Emery, who stated that a similar court in
Ellsworth was working well, and decreas-
ing county expenses. The Attorney Gen
eral personally urged the measure before
the committee, and every member of the
Waldo County delegation, both Democrats
and Republicans, supported the measure.
The petition for the change that went to
Augusta was signed by tifty-sx of the
most prominent citizens Of Belfast, in
Guiding nearly the whole BAR Among
the signers appear the names Of W. NJ.
Rust, editor Of the Age and A. & JeWett,
who is now denouncing the measure from
the stump. If Judge BoarGman shall
choose to allude to the matter, the only
reply he need make to the Age will be to
exhibit the editors written request for the
establishment of the court that he now 50
violently denounces.
The editor Of the Age having asked for
the court, on the score Of public con
venience and economy, his denuncation
of it now, to accord with reason and con-
sitency, should show that it does not an
swer those ends. Unless this shall be
done, the editor will stand in the unenvi-
able position of quarreing with the ere
alton of a court which he asked for, and
with strong suspicion that personal
spleen is the governing motive in this
going back on himself"

The Democratic theory of reduc.
ing the army of the United States
from $4,000 to 10000 which was
strenuously insisted upon by the
House of representatives at the last
session of Congress, and would have
succeeded but for the determined
opposition Of the Senate, is receiv
inc striking illustration from the
Indian outbreaks. The idea of a
nation of forty-6ve millions, with
numerous military posts to garrison
and frontier of thousands of miles
constantly exposed to incursions and
attacks by Indians, and with liability
of internal disturbances of the pub.
lie peace, should content itself with
10000 troops could exist only in a
demagogue's brain. Gen. Sherman
told the House of Representatives
that the army needed to be enlarged
rather than reduced, and that our re
Iarions with the Indians were such
that we might expect Indian wars,
greater or less, almost every summer.
The recent Indian outrages-pro.
voked, we are sorry to say, by the
injustice of the whites and the diff
fculty in summarily suppressing
them, in Consequence of lack of
troops, show that General Sherman
was right and the Democrats wrong
on the subject. If we must fight the
Indians, we ought to have men
enough to do the wo'k efficiently and
with that number we should have
less fighting to do. 1t is alike cruel
and vasteful to conduct an Indian
war with an inadequate force. 1t
prolong the military struggle and in
creases both the sacrifice of life and
the expenditure of moneys. F.

CHINESE FAMINE.

The famine in China will rank in
history as one of the most fearful ca
lamities OF modern times. 1t ex-
tends over country variousIy estl-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000
sluare miles, and the Chinese papers
pnt the number of victims at the
frightful total of 100000. An of
fetal paper, describing the famine,
saws. "The lower classes were the
first to be affected, and they soon
disappeared in search of subsistence
elsewhere. Now the famine has at
tackled the weIl-to.do and the veal
,hy, who find themselves reduced to
greater misery as each day goes by,
and they, in their turn, are dying of
or following those who have mlgrat,
ed elsewhere. In the earlier period
of distress, the living fed upon the
bodies of the dead; next, the strong
devoured the weak; and now the
general destitution has arrived at
such a climax that men devour those
of their own flesh and blood. His
tory contains no record of SO terri

while the few wealthy people in the

tunate is the condition of the very
poorest and most miserable of our
population in comparison with that
of these perishing millions in the

Port Townsend Hospital.

The above institution having been placed
on a permanent footing, rs the United
States Hospital for Marine Patients on
Puget Sound, the proprietor takes pleasure
in announcing that no pains or expense
will be spared in ministering to the COM
fort and convenience of private patients.
This is the largest General Hospital north
of San Francisco, and by far the most COM
plete in equipment. II has been thoroughly
lefitted and refurnished. Its general wards
have accommodations for about one hun
dred patients and are peculiarly adapted
for cases requiring the most careful treat
ment and constant supervision at limited
expense. Those who desire them will be
furnished with private rooms, entirely
separate and distinct, at slight additional
cost.
Ga The attention OF Mill owners, and
those interested in shipping, is called to
the fact that seamen suffering from conta-
gious diseases will be treated outside the
Hospital without expense to the vessel.

OF OvERSHADOWING IMPOR.
LANCE.
From the Reno Gssstts.l


The Gazette has repeatedly point.
ed out that the election of Daggett
is of overshadowing importance
compared with the rest Of the ticket.
The Eureka Sentinel takes up the
same idea and advances the follow
Ing strong reasons why every man
who wishes we'll of his country should
vote for Mr.. Daggett:
"There is q remote contingency
that Mr.. Deal, for instance, by his
vote may be able to decide whether
the next President shall be a Demo-
crat or Republican. 1t is fresh in
the minds of all that any one State
in the Union would have changed
the result of the last Presidential cleo.
ton. There are now three political
organizations in the United States.
Should the Greenbackers develop
sufficient strength, which is possible
if not probable, to carry siDgle
State, the contest for the Presidency
in 1880 might, in that case, be trans
ferred to the House. Once there
the partisan majority from State
casts tho whole vote of the State.
That is to say, Mr.. Deal, comprising
the entire delegation from this State,
would cast Nevada's three electoral
votes for the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. 1t is therefore
shown that vote for Mr.. Deal is the
next thing to vote for President.
