Business Signs.

From all sections of the country come in
dications that business is improving. Here
in Maine the cotton and the leather manu-
factories are looking up. Labor is in de-
mand, wages are better, and steady employ
ment at remunerative pay is offered. Else
where the prospect is quite as good. The
Western fields promise immense harvests.
The great iron industry of the Middle States
has got new start, there is incre ased de-
mand for the product of the mines, and the
foundries are taking on more men and run
ming at their full capacity. The cotton
mills everywhere report heavy orders The
stock on hand has been exhausted, and the
demand is sharp for new supplies. The ex-
port trade has increased forty per cent.
The country is earning and saving The bur-
dens put upon it by the great expenditures
necessitated by the war for the maintenance
of the Union are steadily decreasing, the
volume of debt everywhere is being reduced,
and all the industries of the country are
looking up. The benefits of a return to a
sound and stable system of currency are felt
in every part of the land. We have invited
prosperity, the invitation has been cordially
accepted, and the guest has come
Our future is sure and prosperous if we
trudge along the path upon which we have
started. If we turn about and to the ways
of paper promises, public extravaganza and
fast living we shall lose all we have gained
by six years of frugal conduct and self denial
1t is not to be believed that after the severe
lesson just taught us we shall fall back into
our old errors

Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,

NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,
Thursday, June 26, 1879, at 4 o'cpk A. vi.
for the purpose of nominating candidte for Gov
ernor, and for transacting whatever business may
properly come before it.
The basis of representation will be one delegate
for each city, town and plantation, and an addition
al delegate for every seventyve votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in 1876. A
majority fraction will be entitled to a delegate.
The State Committee will be in session the evening
preceding and at 8 o'clock the morning of the Con-
vention, to receive the credentials of delegates.
In selecting the Delegates the Republicans are
urged to assemble in full numbers and to invoke the
aid and cooperation of all voters who willing to
unite with them to the following ends:
l. To maintain the power and prestige of the
Union against all attempts to subvert oppose its
just authority and to insist that the Government of
the United States shall be controlled by loyal men.
2. To discountenance and reprobate the treason
able and revolutionary course of the Democrats in
Congress, who threaten to cripple and destroy the
functions of the Government constitutionally pre-
vented from enacting their partisan measures into
law.
8. To uphold the right of the United States to
enforce its own laws wherever they to operate,
and to frown down and put down the dangerous
heresy of the States Right secessionists who have
already plunged the country into one bloody war
and who are now attempting TO control the Govern
ment of the Union with the same measures that
preceded the rebellion of 1861.
4. To insist upon free elections-not only free
from National military inference, which no one de-
sires but also free from the interference and vio
lence of socaled State militia and the assassns who
with deadly weapons have seized the polls in many
of the Southern States, driving innocent and de-
fenceless voters from the ballot-box and making
mockery of elections, which upon free suffrage
has been made distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against
measure designed to prevent and suppress it.
5. To uphold the financial credit of the Govern
ment and to assure to the people of all sections
sound currency equivalent to coin at all times and
in all places, and redeemable in coin. And to this
end to oppose all distracting, repudatng aud mis-
chevous efforts against the peace welfare and in
dustrial prosperity of the People.
6. In these aims and purposes all citizens of
Maine are invited to unite, that the hands of the
President and of the Republican minority in both
branches of Congress may be strengthened in their
efforts to uphold the honor of the Government and
the just authority of National Law.
By order of the Republican State Committee.

they would not pass the appropriation bills
without the political riders. Their policy
was settled by Blackburn in the following

The Amusement Reporter.
A Circus Agent Meets His Match in a
Frontier Newspaper ONCE.
[From the Virginia CITY Chroniclel

tAS ASiAA" wy SAOhlSicJ
Yesterday afternoon dapper little man,
with two-ounce cane and half-pound clus-
ter diamond, came into the Chronicle office,
and asked if the amusement reporter was in.
When the man he sought was pointed out, the
stranger grasped him warmly by the hand, re-
marking: Delighted to meet you, sir-really
am. I've heard of you at every place I've
stopped on my way from New York. 1 had
such curiosity to see you that got off at
Reno, and took a run up, But really had
expected to find much older man, consider
ing the magnificent reputation your dramatic
and circus criticisms have given you. all of
our boys told me to be sure and see you, if 1
didn't get aboard of anything else in the town.
"Ah," said the reporter, blushing in four
colors, "Pm glad to see you. Might inquire
your name?'
"Well, here's my card,'' said the little man.
handing out piece of pasteboard about five
inches square. "You may have heard of me
before-Clarence De Lacy Slocum, agent of
the Sebastian Van Buena Vista Circus and
Menagerie. This isby far the hugest combina-
ton of gigantic circuses ever put on the road.
We started out about five years ago in a small
way, with not over 100000 feet Of canvass,
only nine tents, and scarcely 1900 animals
but we gradually absorbed all the small-fry
shows They'd go into bankruptcy along the
route and we would buy their outfits. Sebas-
tian, our owner, is the most sympathetic man
on earth He'd buy their little shows and nav
double price, just to help the poor devils along
Money is of no account to him. He's travel
ling simply for pleasure and a desire TO see the
great west"
"Td like to know him." remarked the re-
porter.
"Oh, he knows yOu-that is, by reputation.
He has your picture set in frame that cost
him over 500. He was saying 10 me one night
that whenever business was dull he Just took
look at that phiz of yours, and 1t always made
him feel as happy as If he was obliged to turn
five hundred people away at the door
''How came he to get hold of my picture?"
ooh he begged it of De Murska or Modies-
ka, or Clara Morris-I forget which. She
hated like thunder to part with it, but you see
he had loaned the great actress $4,000 once in
Paris to buy wardrobe and some iewelry for
| a new piece, and as the debt was never can
celled she couldn't very well refuse. But
Just came in to give you little information
about our show. L always like to give a man
all the points when know he possesses the
talent to handle them in the right style. Some
| fellows down at Reno and Carson tried to
| pump me, but didn't propose to let descrip-
| ton of my show be mangled up by scrub writ
ers, BESIDES, Sebastian telegraphed me from
| New YORK last night not to let anybody but
| you get aboard of the first grand description.
