Will the Standard allow me to refresh its

the democratic party in Maine in those good
old days when '.bleeding Waldo" used to
send up to headquarters in Augusta to ask
''what ma cri:y do you need 2" Those who
took part in the politics of Maine some thirty

a member of the Governors council, under.

not say honest, but ANYTHING like comp. tent
management, could have secured a much bet

the honesty, or all the ability, is on the side
of the republican party, an intimate knowl-
edge of affairs in Maine for more than thirty
years, confirms the opinion that, for extrava-
gance, for pandering to the worst passions of
the people, for official dishonesty, and for
general corruption as party, the democrats
in Maine have left no lower depths TO be ex-
plored either by the republican or any subse-
quent party In short they have well mani
tanned the reputation the democrats have
gained in other States where they have had
the management of affairs.
Do not understand me as attempting to en-
cnse wrong-doing in republicans by crying

public affairs should be honestly conducted
for the best interests OF the community, and
the people should give their support TO that
party, whatever its name, which is most con-
sistent and honorable in its professions and

Our Fisheries.

The Historian has at last made an
honest confession. That paper says:
Salmon fishing is very thin bust
ness so far. This will be the last of
that local industry for some time,
probably. The cream of the bust
ness is gone" The explanation of
Astoria's fishery debility is simple
enough. There are other points on
this part of the coast as we'll adapted
to salmon fishing as the lower Colum-
bia river, only they have not been
SO fully developed. 1t is we'll known
that for a series of years, much of
the salmon taken from our waters
has found its way to the markets of
the world through packages ostensi-
bly, put up by Columbia river deal
ers. And now that we are getting
so we can run our establishments in
dependent of the name or money of
our neighbors, a competition is spring
ing up o. which Astoria may justly
entertain well grounded fears. Our
shipping facilities, since the compile
ton of the railroad, are unequaled by
any on the coast, and our only con-
siderable want is home development
of the business. Scores of streams
putting into the Sound are eminent
ly susceptible of being thoroughly
stocked with the very best varieties
of salmon and other food species of
the inny tribe. Slowly, but we be-
lieve surely, the work is growing up
into an abiding importance. In Civ
ing expression to the ideas iuculca-
ted in this article we would not mill
tate against the healthful business
enterprise of our neighbors. "There
are as good fishes in the sea as have
ever been caught" and we believe

The Next Sensation.

QHC NVAt kOChsSutIOus
The negro stampede from the
South continues undated. In the
inception of this strange movement,
the land of promise was Kansas.
Now, one wing of the fleeing army
of blacks is tending TOWARDS that
portion of Texas situated between
Indian Territory and New NJ xico.
AS to The origin of this great exodus,
it is pretty generally agreed that it
was first inaugurated by the labors
of the Northern Association, during
or soon after the political campaign
of 1876. Many of the old negroes
of tue better class still remember
the popularity of the Liberia colon
ization scheme, and through the art
full representations of oily .tongued
carpet-baggers, the old desire for
seeking better country" was
easily aroused. A good many hun
bred families wendell their way TO-
wards the prairies of the Northwes-
tern States in the beginning of the
movement, and many more will
doubtless go there, but the induce
ments offered by the Texas railroad
officials are serving in marked de-
gree, to detract the stream from its
original course. The railroad COM
panies have received large land sub
sides from Texas, in the locality al
ready designated, and they can prof.
tably sell it to the negroes at merely
a nominal price per acre, for the
sake of settling and clearing up the
country. The intervening sections
still belonging to the Government,
can be had for 81 rs per acre. A
long, narrow strip of Indian Terri
tory, not exceeding so miles in width
separates Kansas from Texas, so,
after all, the two streams of negro
immigration are not very divergent,
and will terminate at points so near
each other that the intervening
space will, doubtless soon be appro-
priated to common purpose by the
swarms of sable newcomers. 1t
was understood that u band of 49,
800 families would leave for Texas
on the 10Th of April, day sacred to
the blacks as Emancipation Day.
AS fast as the people could get them
selves in readiness, they have been
falling into line, until now, the exc
dus from Alabama and Georgia is
not only unprecedented, but truly
wonderful. Perhaps no one thing
has done more to inaugurate this
stampede than the circulation of
flaming, political documents among
the colored population of those
States, during the last two or three
years. These pamphlets have very
suggestive titles, one of them be-
ing" First Principle Papers" and a
late one issued no longer ago than
in August last, let the cat out of the
bag by the startling words: GA plan
to transfer the Freedmen of the
South 10 the Government Lands of
the West" III conclusion, it may
safely be said that this is one of the
most deeply laid political schemes
that ever agitated the public mind.

FINE BANNGa.-The new banner
just received by the Western Lodge
OF Odd Fellows, of this place, is q
beautiful and deliberately designed
affair. A. j. Plate & Co., San
Francisco, were the makers, and the
cost of it was $3.50, exclusive of ex-
press charges for transportation.
The banner is six feet by four, made
of two thicknesses OF heavy gross
grain silk, scarlet and white. On
the diverse side, which is scar
let, there is a beautiful oil painting,
showing Noah's ark and the dove in
the distance, while 10 the fore
ground ave three female figures, rep
resenting the three cardinal virtues,
Faith, Hope and Charity. The re-
verse side bears the inscription,
" Western Lodge, No. 6, I. Q. o. F.,
instituted Oct. %, 1872" Aside
from the representative painting and
inscription, both sides are orna-
mented in the highest style of the
imner's art. A heavy gold border
and fringe, cord and tassels, COM
plete the magnifcence of this gair-
ish ensign. The whole is supported
by solid rosewood staff, surmount-
ed by gilded head-piece which
looks as if it might have been carved
from solid block.
