A Forum reporter was detailed to
interview Hon. John Jones. He pro-
ceeded at once to his residence, and
running up the marble steps rang the
bell. A lady appeared at the sum.

porter supposed to be Mrs. Jones, the
wife of the distinguished gentleman.
Bowling and removing his hat, the re-.
porter said:

"Thank you" and the reporter
bowed and left. He returned again.

hopes Of finding the gentleman at
home. At any rate, a man raised the
upper window when the bell rang, and
asked who was there. The reporter
explained his business and asked if it
was Hon. Mr.. Jones who spoke. The
man said it was, and if the reporter
didn't leave, he'd throw a pitcher of
water out. The reporter hoisted his
umbrella, and asked Mr.. Jones what
he had to say on the subject of inter-
national finances and commercial
reciprocity. Jones threw the water
but the umbrella would have protect

lessly dropped the pitcher. That
ended the umbrella and interview,
and nearly smashed the reporter, but
he feels sweet revenge in the fact that
Mr.. Jones water pitcher is no more.

From the Portland New Fra, Greenback.
Hold the Fort.

The people of Maine expect the Governor
and Council to hold fast to the State govern
ment They know that tested by fair and
legal methods this State was, last September,
wrested from the INSCRIPTIONS and desperate
men, of whom j. &. Blaine is the chief.
They see now that if it is lost il can never be
recovered. Let these men once regain the
power that the people wrested from them last
year. and they will never relinqnish it.
There are unmistakable evidences of this,
and those who are not keen enough to dis
Germ it, or have not courage to meet the
emergency when they do see it, are not the
men to trust in great public exigcncies. The
Republican leaders are gradually forging the
chains of conspiracy to subvert free govern
ment and, to make a complete success of the
damnable scheme, they must have possession
of the legislative and executive departments
of the State and national governments. IL
is in pursuance of this conspiracy that they
have made such desperate attempts to regain
power in all of the northern States this year
| BY the unlimited use of money, by bribery,
intimidation, fraud. repeating, false returns
and every other unlawful and reprehensible
device, they have succeeded in capturing all
of the State governments in the North, here
tofore lost so far as elections were held ex-
cept in this State. Failing to get legal pos
session here, they are now trying to take
possession by force. or what amounts to the
same thing. threat that force will be re-
sorted to, if the State government is not
handed over to them. We say to these des-
perate men that the people are watching
them. They begin to comprehend their bad
purposes, and they have no thought of sub
hitting to their devilish programme.
The people feel that the Governor and
Council have the discretionary power to
thwart the conspirators without going outside
of the letter or spirit of the law and they in
sst with emphasis that it will be reasonable
not to do it. Next year is to witness most
serious crisis in the history of this govern
ment. The republican leaders have resolved
to install their candidate for President in Of
fee. whether he is elected or not. They ex-
pect to use force, if necessary, and it will
make vast difference who is in power in
this State when that crisis arrives. 1t is not
worth while to mince matters. 1t is the
worst kind of folly to deceive ourselves as to
the tendency of the times; it will be serious
crime to supinely submit to have our hands
tied before we begin to act. A little courage,
an exhibition of spirit now will save blood
shed and disaster hereafter. The people
comprehend this and they must make their
servants feel it. Letters should pour in upon
the Governor and Council from all parts of
the State, urging them to stand firm. Meet
ings ought to be held everywhere to give ex-
preston to the aroused public sentiment.
THIS State can be saved to the people il the
people will it,

Political.

The total registration of women in Massa-
chusetts for the coming municipal elections
is estimated, according to a correspondent
letter, at 5000.
Senator Kellogg Of Louisiana, has dis
proved the charges of bribery made against
him by the best possible evidence-the testi-
mony of the men whom he was said to have
bribed.
There are D $50 voters registered for the
municipal election in Boston, an increase Of
Just 600 over the registry for the State cleo
ton. There are 99l registered women vot-
ers.
Six members of Congress. elected since
the extra session, may be expected to take
their seats upon its assembling to-day. They
are Horace Davis, Horace +. Page and
Romualde Pacheco, Republicans, and Camp
bell p. Berry, Democrat, of California
Waldo Hutchins, Democrat, of the Twelfth
New York District, and VIM. G. Thompson,
Republican, of the Fifth District of Iowa.
The last two have been chosen to fill vacan-
cies caused by death.
In the Louisiana courts, under Democratic
rule, there are pending fifty thousand suits
for the collection of State taxes. Real es-
tate is steadily declining. Business men and
shop-keepers complain of hard times as they
have never done before. The courts give no
Justice to the black men either in criminal
suits. All over the State the public schools
are running down, and the indications are
that the pretence of maintaining schools at
the public expense will soon be abandoned.
just now Louisiana is about the best State
in the Union to emigrate from.
