STEALING MAINE.
The Maine democrats are letting the
cat out of the bag too early to please the
more discreet democrats Of the country.
This is demonstrated by the %utterances
of some of the wiser organs of the party
that would muzzle the ''fery untamed''
of the Pine Tree State, whose vaulting
ambition may o'erleap itself and drag
down to destruction, the p%roudest hopes
of the would-be public plunderers, now
signing for a hold on the money bags of
the nation after March 4th, 1881. But
the Maine democrats are to be credited
with honesty for boldly and fearlessly
initiating the bourbon programme in
tended to capture the capital and con
troll the country by fraud in the north
and violence in the south; by outrage in
the one, and oppression in the other;
by attempting in the early spring to di-
vest the executive department Of the
government of its most sacred rights
and dearest privileges-prerogatives
guaranteed by the supreme law of the
land. the federal constitution.
The rule or ruin" combination
found President Hayes as vigilant in
peace IS he had been valiant in war.
Again and again were the conspirators
against the best interests of the repub-
lie repealed and hurled back in confu-
sion upon the halls of congress, where
a too confding people had. permitted
them to become entrenched. Since then
the the people have said to President
Hayes, swell done, thou good and
faithful servant"
And now the representatives of the
same party would in Maine usurp the
powers of the judicial department Of
that commonwealth in order that con-
troll may be obtained OF the general as
sembly thereof and thus secure a DEM
ocratic U. S. senator to succeed Mr..
Hamlin, and also pass the necessary
laws to appoint presidential electors in
the interest of the democratic party,
instead of allowing the people to elect
They propose, in short, to trample I'M
der foot the will of the people of that
old pine-clad and rock-ribbed bulwark
of republicanism. And this by and on
behalf of the party that is ever engaged
in the s'stop thief cry of fraud against
its opponent. Surely ''whom the gods
would destroy the y6rst make mad, "for
these New England democrats are, un-
less we mistake the temper of the
American people, building their own
gallows, and lighting their W funeral
pyre, and digging broad and deep that
political grave into which the outraged
masses of the republic will consign them
They are engaged in stealing from the
people of Maine their political rights by
putting in a legislature that has not
been elected and having such legisla-
ture select presidential electors.
This is a game at which two can play
with the republicans holding the trump
cards. The legislatures of New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey and other
states, where there are overwhelming
and undisputed republican majorities
which will be strongly tempted to fol
low the democratic precedent and thus
build "a wall of granite against the dem

should alarm the country, remember.

A Useful Dog.

A wcll-dresscd young woman entered IL
restaurant not far from the terminus of
the New Orleans railway, and told the
waiter to bring her in all haste basin of
soup, as she was about to take her depar-
turc by the next train. This was i'm
mediately done, and after having taken it
and paying the waiter she was hurrying
away, saying that she should certainly he
late, when she perceived her passage
barred by large dog, which refused to
let her pass. She attempted by caresscs
to put it aside, but the animal held firm
and opposed her way.
~ shall certainly be latc:" she cried
"Do take away that horrible dog
The waiter and the master cried out,
''Vidocq, Vidocq, give way, sir!'
But the dog never stirred. One of the
walters here whispered something to the
master, who, coming up to the young
woman said:
eff my dog prevents you from leaving
the premises the reason must be that you
have some Of the property belonging to
the house about you. You had better
give it up at once and 60 your way
The person thus addressed at first af-
fected great indignation at being so ac-
cused, but at last drew out silver spoon
which she handed to the owner of the
restaurant. The dog then allowed her to
pass, and she was hurrying off when she
was seized by her mantelet and forced to
stop. This time it was police agent,
who had been on the lookout for several
persons suspected Of being concerned in
robbery, and who was thought might
attempt to get off by the railway. She
was arrested, and on examination her
mantelet was found to be furnished with
immense pockets for receiving pilfered
goods. 1t is said that this is not the first
time that the dog belonging to the res
tauranteur has shown himself a faithful
guardian of his masters property.

CHICAGO, May 19.-The Inter Ocean publishes
An analysis of about 800 letters which it has re-
ceived within the past three OF four days. They
represent the condition of growing crops
throughout the Northwestern States.
Illinois-Winter and spring wheat have a
trifle larger acreage than last year, with good
promise. Oats decreased in acreage, and not
very good condition. Corn mostly planted,
and larger acreage than last season.
WiscOnsin-Small grains rather backward,
owing to dry weather. In some places wheat
rather thin, but the acreage increased over last
year.
Mi:nesota-Drv weather injured wheat pros
pectH for while, but recent copious showers
have brought the crop in excellent condition,
and with largely increased area sown, especially
on hitherto unbroken soil. there will be q largo
yield. Corn will also be \ larger crop. Oats
rather inferior in quantity and condition.
DakOta-Largely increased amount of wheat
and oats raised. No damage from grasshop-
pers.
lo"a-Winter wheat, increased area and in
hne condition. Spring wheat in some locali-
tie: rather thin on the ground but generally
looking we'll. Acreage probably increased, al
though reports are contradictory. Corn will
BIC an unusually large crop. Oats like wheat
Nehraska-lncreased acres &c of all grains,
probably be equal to oue-quarter. CrOpa in
splendid condition.
Substantially the same may be said of Kan
sas. On the whole the prospects are very fat

Where ist he Stupidity?

Vivid pictures are often drawn of the
stupidity Of children, and especially of
the ignorance which they display of the
meanings of common English words.
But such pictures are more vivid than
true. A child may understand the mean
ing Of a word perfectly without being
able to find a synonym for it. To give a
hand, is not always easy. An inspector
expressed his surprise that no child could
tell him the meaning of the word "boat,' -
and, upon being asked himself to define
1t, said:
"Why, boat is IA boat, you know.
Everybody knows what boat is.
The story is too good, perhaps, to be
true; but it points moral neverthe-
less.

70 the effect of his decision in the Ponca case:
There 10 NO law of the United States, or treaty
stipulation setting apart = reservation in the
Indian Territory for these Indians, nor for re-
moving them thereto, nor keeping them
thereon. They cannot be removed and kept
there by force for the one reason
that no law or treaty in anv
way authorizes this to be done, and the decision
Is based upon that order alone. It 10 not claim
ed in the opinion that Congress might not au-
thorise this or . treaty be made which would
Justify resort to force, but simply that no
such authority has ever heen conferred 30 far
q these particular Ponca Indians are concerned.
OF course it il not claimed the same rules
would apply to Indian tribes having reserva-
tions to which their treaties require them to
