repeal of the law would hand New York
city over to the hands of thieves and re-
peaters. and would make the State per-
petually democratic by rolling up an lille
gal vote in the city which could not be
counterbalanced. 1t would make the solid
South more solid than ever by leaving re-
publican voters without any protection.
The attempt to enact measure for the
encouragement of bulldozing and ballot
box Stutling is bad enough. but to threat
on to block the operations of Government
unless this is done i Il menace not to be
yielded to.
The democrats are reckoning without
their host if they expect 70 carry such a
desperate eXpedient. Their majority in
the next House will be very small and pre-
carous. The illness or absence OF Il few
members, or Independent action on the
part Of two or three Northern members
with courage enough to resist caucus die
tation. would destroy the whole plot.
The republicans must preserve united
front and must have all their members
present and voting. President IIaves may
be counted upon to veto such bills as fast
as they are sent to him; and under this
course Of treatment the revolutionary
scheme of the democrats will be pretty
sure to fail. But if the worst comes, and
the democrats insist on their course, the
President has only to stand firm. The
power of vetoing improper Legislation is
vested in him by the Constitution, and he
would be false to his duty if he failed TO
exercise the power with determination, in
this instance. The power of voting appro-
priations for government expenditures is
vested in Congress if Congress fails to do
its duty. the country will deal with it in
way to make an example for future Con
presses The contest ahead. a. we have
Indicated is likely to be long one but
only moderate amount of pluck and per
sistenrl on the republican side will be re-
qurcd 10 defeat the democratic plot. and
to place the democratic party before the
country with load of iniqutous and
batlied designs heavier than any party can
carry.

From the Boston journal
A Long Contest Ahead.

Melancholy as the prospect is, the con
clusion can hardly be avoided that there
is long contest ahead before the extra
session of Congress closes. Setting aside
the question of the Speakership, which
seems likely under certain contingencies
TO consume good deal of time and de-
velop bitter antagonists, the democratic
progrsmme for the work of the session Is
of such character that nothing short of a
deadlock between the majority of the
two houses and the Executive, backed by
the votes of the minority, seems possible
The democratic plan is to pass bills for
the repeal of the Jurors test oath, the re-
peal OF the law respecting the use of
troops at the polls. and the repeal of the
Supervisors and Marshals' law If these
are vetoed by the President, they propose
to append them as amendments to the APP
preparation bills, and to cut off the sup
plies of the government until the Presi-
dent yields.
The action thus outlined. which the
democratic leaders openly avow as con-
shutting their programme, comes as near
being revolution as anything short Of d.
rect violence can be. 1t is equivalent, as
Senator Conkling expressed it. to taking
the government by the throat and refusing
to allow it to breathe until the desired
point is gained. 1t is an invasion
Of the Executive prerogative which
violates the spirit if not the letter of the
Constitution. The Constitution gives to
two-thirds of both Houses of Congress the
power to override the Presidents veto.
The democratic programme insists on this
power for very small majority of the
two Houses, and claims it by virtue of
menaces and threats. If the precedent
which the democratic revolutionists seek
to establish is conceded, the presidential
power of veto is virtually taken away, and
ii becomes possible hereafter for small
majority in Congress to enact any meas
ures whatever, without the Executive
check upon ill-consdered legislation which
the Constitution provides.
Upon the issue which the democrats
thus present there is only one policy for
the republican members of Congress and
President to pursue. There can be no
concession on the republican side. The
attempt to repeal the Supervisors law is

The Republican Victory in Bangor
Effects Of straightforward
Work.

(From the Bangor Wing and Courier
We congratulate the people of Bangor
upon the decisive results. of yesterday $
election. We congratulate the republicans
Of the city upon the victory they have won
by making straightforward appeal to the
confidence and support of the public We
congratulate every honest democrat who
has supported the republican candidates
best promote the welfare of this communi-
ty.
The victory is complete, and it is worth
all the effort put forth to attain it. 1t Sc
cures the government of our city in COM
petent, trustworthy hands, and it teaches
the lesson that unequivocal dealing in pol
itics is, like honesty in all things, not only
right, but also the best policy. People
will believe that a man may candidly take
position with one party, but they are
skeptical about candidates who can profess
a1iiliation with two or three parties hold
ing antagonistic views. There are repub-
icans who would prefer to support a
straight-out democrat rather than pro-
fessed republican who should at the same
time attempt to be the exponent OF other
and irreconcilable factions; and there are
some democrats who prefer square re-
publican candidate to one who eagerly
processes allegiance wherever votes are
promised

Greenbackism on the DOwn-Hill
Grade.

The town and city elections of Monday
emphasize the fact that the coalition which
carried the State last September is losing
ground rapidly in all parts of the State
1t is going down as quickly as it sprang
up 1t came into existence and reached
its full growth in few weeks, and will be
dead by next September.
In Penobscot county the change since
last Fall is remarkable. Bangor has re-
deemed itself, and the reports from the
outside town elections show large repub-
lican gains. In Waldo, Belfast comes up
smiling with republican majority, and a
republican Mayor elected over VIM NJ.
Rust Kennebec shows declining of the
strength of the opposition. York also
looks well notwithstanding that the com
bined opposition succeeded in carrying
the city government and electing their
candidate for Mayor by forty majority.
Last September the vote of Biddeford was
Conner, $50; Garcelon. 80; Smith, 800:
combined opposition majority over Con-
nor 249. The late election shows fall
ing off of POO in the opposition majority.
Camden in Knox county is about the on
" considerable town where the republ-
cans are dormant. Our friends there
make rather poor show in comparison
with other towns. caused more by petty
feuds and jealousies than anything else.
Camden is at heart strong republican
town, and it is a pity that the republican
strength should be FILTERED away for
trining causes.
The outlook for the republicans in the
fall campaign has frightened up wonder
fully since the town elections began Ac-
coraing to appearances we shall elect the
republican candidate for Governor next
September by one of our old-tashioned,
rousing republican majorities.

which this hymn has been sung since 1t
WAS first written. During the war 1t
eXerted a wonderful influence at home
and in the field in the way of strength
ening patriotic feeling. and it has lost
none of its popularity or power since.
The volume which presents it is artistic
and beautiful. and it should be found in
the household of every true American.
The five handsomely printed volumes
which constitute the Idle Hour Series,
and which have put off their light sum-
mer clothing for tasteful cloth covers,
claim the attention of all lovers of choice
literature. They have all been warmly
praised by the yress, and in their cheaper
form have had a large and steady sale.
Their character is not ephemeral, nor
are they simply intended as summer
books" One can enjoy the experiences
of the Two Girls who Tried Farming by
a coal fire as well as in hammock, or
the narrative of the trio who sailed Up
and Down the Merrimac when that ia
nous river is frozen as well as now. My
Daughter Susan and Priscilla Hunter are
acceptable acquaintance at any time of
year, and there is no particular season
to be set apart for Poor Papa.
There are two other series which seem
to require special mention. The first,
History and Biography, containing five
volumes, and Famous Americans, con-
tanning the lives of Franklin, Sumner,
Webster and Amos Lawrence. They are
books which every boy should read, and
will be the better for reading.
Another new book, Waits and their
Authors, is now in press, and nearly
ready for issue. 1t will be in the pOpu-
lar quarto form, illustrated. OF new
editions. prominent are TarboX's Life of
Israel Putnam, which has been materi-
ally reduced in price; Sunshine for Ba-
byland; Pansy's three ever popular
books, Mothers Boys and Girls, Picture
Book and Our Darlings, all of them en-
larged, and in choice bindings. The
Children's Almanac, which created such
a sensation last season, should not be
forgotten. 1t is one of the most useful
and beautiful little volumes ever
brought out by the publishers, and is
sold for hardly more than nominal
price. 1t will be remembered the calen-
dar reaches over five years, and is as
good to-day as it was last year.

POETRY.
THE IRON PEN.
From Harper's Monthly.

From Harper's Monthly.
Made from fetter of Downward, the
prisoner of Chillon; the handle of wood
from the frigate, Constitution, ana
bound with circlet of gold, inset with
three precious stones from Siberia, Cey-
lon and Maine
1 thought this yen would arise
From the casket where 1t lies
of itself would arise, and write
Nv thanks and my surprise.
When YOU gave it me under the pines,
| dreamed these gems from the mines
of Siberia, CeyiOn, and Maine
Would glimmer as thoughts III the lines |;
That this iron link from the chain
OF Downward might retain
Some verse of the poet who sang
OF the prisoner and his pain;
That this wood from the frigate's mast
Might write me rhyme at last,
As it used to write on the sky
The song of the sea and blast.
But motionless as wait,
Like Bishop lying in state
Lies the pen, with its miter OF gold,
And its jewels inviolate.
Then must speak, and say
That the light of that summer day
In the garden under the pines
Shall not fade and pass away!
shall see you standing there,
Caressed by the fragrant air,
With the shadow on your face,
And the sunshine on your hair.
shall hear the sweet low tone
Of voice before unknown,
Saying, This is from me to you
From me, and to you alone"
And in words not idle and vain
Ishall answer, and thank you again
For the gift, and the grace of the gift,
o beautiful Helen of Mainel
And forever this gift will be
As blessing from you to me,
As a drop of the dew of your youth
On the leaves of an aged tree.
HENRY w. LoNGFELLOw
