TT is safe assertion that two-thirds of
the newspaper readers of the country have
expressed the wish within the past two or
three days that HART, the colorcd lcggist,
may win the pedestrian match now in prog
rcss in New York. This wish does not
spring so much from n love of the race he
represents as from u disgust of the race he
is running. The truth is that pcdcstrianism,
like baseball and other kindred profess
sional muscular pests, is only popular in
this country through the obstinate pervcr-
sity of the average American mind which
invariably blecds the pocket for the sup
port of such exhibitions even while ii con-
demns them. The fact that the receipts of
gate-money during the contest in question
have averaged more than $1,000 day does
not show, however, that very large num-
Der of the people of New York are over
whelmingly interested in il, for that sum
represents in round numbers about 10000
daily sight-secrs, among whom several
thousand strangers are included. But some-
how or another all the newspapers of the
land are compelled to print the news" of
this great slow, even when they know it
should be captioned "uuimportant il true"

Honor to whom II is Due.

Mr.. Blaine deserves great deal Of credit for his
substantial victory IN Maine and we cheerfully
accord IT, We have not always agreed with Mr..
Blaine, and we have sometimes sharply criticised
him-never hcsitatng to hold him and all public
men accountable for their acts; but when he Is
compared with the Grccnback or Democratic lead
ers IN the State of Maine, he towers like Colos-
sts by the side Of plginics. In the late contest Mr.
blaine was on the side of common sense, patriot
ism law and order aud good government gener-
ally, and deserved success aud applause.

The Bangor Commercial, that has for
some time been greatly concerned regard
ing the course of the Belfast journal, at

igated by concessions to the journalistic
ability of this paper-for which thanks.
