The Candidate.

The nomination made at Bangor, Thurs
day, is received with favor by the Republican
papers throughout the State and evidently
gives qualification to the party. The nomin-
alton is regarded as a strong one eminently
fit to be made. The candidate is gentle
man of marked ability, of irreproachable
character, and of unquestioned political or
thodoxy. He is a representative of the
young Republicans of Maine and will re-
ccive their oAthsasiastie support
1t cannot be said that Maine Republicans
have ignored the soldiers. They have taken
man from the ranks, who never held a
commission, but served through the war as a
private, and came out of the service with an
honorable record. The boys in blue may be
relied upon to rally round their old comrade
and make "the little corporal the Governor
of Maine.
But it is not his military record alone that
entities Mr.. Davies to the support of the
Republicans of this State Since leaving
the service he has pursued the legal profess
sion, and takes rank as one of the first law
yClo 't1 olO L OHopoCoI pdi WilcIe Hc 10 ulSH-
ly esteemed for his amiable personal quail
ties as well as for his ability as an advocate.
He has served in both branches of the Leg
islature and has thus acquired experience in
affairs of State. He is emphatically man
of the people and has their interests at heart
If elected he will be wise and able execu-
five, credit to the State and to the party
which nominated him.

SAYS Halper's Weekly: ''What the coun-
try needs is greater homogeneity. The in
fuences that tend to sever the Union are too
powerful already. The duty of patriotic
citizens is to strengthen those that tend to
solidify and harmonze. Southern leaders
deplore the suspicion which rests upon them
as they say. unjustly; but the same leaders
cultivate and compel that suspicion by their
assertion of the doctrine which the war
overthrew. They know, and all well-in-
formed men know, that the political situa-
ton in the Southern States is not honest;
that Is to say, the colored vote is suppressed.
'The South is not honestly solid for the
Democratic party, and the cry of State con-
troll of elections is raised to make that dis
honest solidity surer. The good sense OF
the country is not in the least confused by
the solemn poppycock about 'bayonets at the
polls and the Federal government overaw-

of State sovereignty in 1861 meant, Let us

SENATOR BLAINE struck the keynote in
his brief remarks before the Bangor conven-
ton. He said:
1t appears to me that this convention heralds
the victory which Maine will roll up for Re-
publicanism We have to fight this year, the
old combination. This year the Greenbackers
are in the 'front.' but the Democrats this fall are
in the rear, and have bill of sale of the whole
concern. If there is any Republican here who
was betrayed into the Greenback party, 1
ask him: Is he not going to land in
the Democratic bosom? There have not
been more extreme Southern voters in
the House than Mr.. Murch and Mr.. Ladd,
the Greenback Congressman from Maine. L
want to invoke every honest voter to carefully
observe the record of Mr.. Murch and DIR.
Ladd on the silver bill. They wanted silver
certificates issued. They voted that $40 ON
every thousand should be put in the pockets
of the bullion spectators. Do you want
that kind of legislation? l intend these
gentlemen shall be held up before the
people upon their public record, even if l
have to do some share of this service.

deeds done in the body. We welcome the is

do not want men to represent Maine who OPP

THE Washington correspondent of the
Boston Aduertiser says: The Democrats
think they have all things fixed now so that
they will be able to let go, as Senator Davis
has resolution for adjournment ready to
offer as soon as the veto is received on the
second subdivision of the subdivided judi
cial bill; it will of course be adopted by the
House. 1t would then be impossible in the
face of even slight opposition to rescind this
resolu ion so as to delay adjournment even
if the President should, as it was first
thought he might, at the last moment when
called on by the usual committee inform
them that he had further communication to
make. This may influence the consid-
Grafton the President is now giving to the
question of calling another extra session i'm
mediately upon the close of this one. The
fact that no appropriations are made for
marshals for the ordinary duties connected
with the courts is regarded as very grave,
and in some respects in certain sections will
be scarcely less so than stopping The courts
themselves. The Democrats in the House

An Indctatigable Worker.

Rev. A. L. Porter, who has lust
returned from n visit To Europe and
Washington, in the interest of his
school in Charleston, delivered in
address at the Church Of the HOLY
Communion on last Sunday, setting
forth the result of his abors. He
has succeeded in getting lease, for
long term, from the govornm Of
the Arsenal building and groun ls
and proposes great improvements by
which he may accommodate five hun
dred boys. The old buildings which
he leaves, he proposes to convert into
n home for .indigent females, which,
in itself will be great work of
charity.
lie says that he was much encour-
aged in Europe, receiving nearly
$4,000 for his enterprise; and he feels
confident, ifthe people at home come
up to their pledges, that his sche me
will be carried out to the lett or.
1t is certainly matter in which
the whole State is interested, as the
boys attending tho school como from
every County. Orangcburg County
has furnished number of pupils, and
therefore our cndeavor to keep all
interested posted in reference to the
noble work Of this good man. His
enterprise and perseverance deserve
the abundant success which he has
received.

"Strengthy" Talk About
Lengthy
Judge PresSly as in Etymologist.

During the court last week one at,
torney referred to another's speech as
being "lengthy," qualifying the ex-
preston by adding, "if such word
is good English" Judge Presley
remarked, at is not good Euglish.
You had as well say 'bl blcadthy' for
broad as lengthy for long = Ncm
berry Herald.
The above little circumstance has
created quite stir among the
brethren Of the quill throuy yhout the
State.
TIE Beaufort Crescent" tax es
issue with Judge Presley, and le
cidcs in favor Of lengthy"
The Abbeville "alelium" we .hink
agrees with the Judge.
While Judge Presley is Il capital
Judge of the law, we think we can
quote some very ancient and dislin-
guished authority against his july
ment in etymology. Gibbon wrote be !
fore the Judge was born,in 1863, ,ab out
lengthy and original dissertations )"
Lord Byron in 1918 spoke of "some
lengthy additions" and Thomas
Jefferson discourses of details too
lengthy"
Webster says that the word
lengthy" has been spoken of as an
Americanism, but he thinks this
doubtful, as it is much used by Eng
llsh writers. Many English words
have corresponding derivatives as
wealth and health, and why not
length F? Where's the rule against
il? These dissenters may be healthy
and wealthy, but we don't think they
are wise.
Gibbon in our estimation settles
the matter; but MS we don't wish to
be lengthy, we refer the matter the

To live upright and purely in this
age is no play. A yourg man who
resolves TO do it must put himself, as
a iencer does when he is about to be
attacked, on lis guard. a mild and
dove like disposit ion does not hold a
man up to the line duty at all times
here are the mild, and there are the
heroic virtues Of Christianity; AMI
both find their proper moments of
expression. There are times when Il
young man must say no, and no
that has no hint Of Il possible yes in
it. There are times, also, when you
must say yes and make it ring like
the blast Of trumpet. Never did
young men need this quality and

never were there more opportunities

The One Study Plan.

We commend to the consideration
of educators the one study plan sue
cessfully practiced by Rev. S. Ian
der, President of the Wil.iamston
Female College for many years. We
know that it requires time for an
innovation i'll any system, but we
think discussion of the matter
would not have any other than a
beneficial effect. 1t should be the
aim OF all educators to keep up with
the progress of the day, and when a
plan is adopted with seeming success
by so distinguished an educator rs
President Lander, it is not to bo iy.
nored.
The idea is to devote the whole of
one period of time, say month, cx
clusively to one branch, either math-
emathics, classics, or general liter,-
ture, and then at the end OF the
period take up another branch, dc.
Mr.. Lander says that the pupils
like it, and that ii works charmingly.
10 us it seems that it has the ad-
vantage of concentration. 1t keeps
the mind of the pupil on one subject
until it is mastered. The object of
education is not so much the amass-
ing OF knowledge as the training of
the young mind how to think, and
the plan seems to us to be conducive
to this end.
We would like to hear the opno n
OF some of our teachers on the sub
ject. Won't some of our readers
who "teach the young idea how to
Shoot" take shot at this problem ?
