THE HONEST TRUTH.

With the above title, the undersigned will pub
Tuesday, July 29th, and running to the end of the
campaign devoted to the Honest truth about the
MONEY QUESTION and the SOUTHERN CUES
TION.
The Honest Truth will especially devote its col
ums to the interests of the Laborng man, and will
expose the folly and wickedness of the Demagogues
and Democrats who are now seeking to array Labor
taking away all chance for the return of good times
now dawning upon us.
The Honest Truth will show how the Northern
Democrats and Greeenbackers in Congress have
voted for everything the Southern Rebels have de-
manded. 1t will expose the record of Ladd and
Murch Greenback Congressman from Maine, and
show that they voted with the Southern Rebels all
the time.
The Honest Truth will advocate the election of
DANIEL f. DAVIS as Governor of Maine. He is
the first PRIVATE SOLDIER ever nominated for
high Office in the United States. He is man of the
people, from the people, with the people. Let's
give him lift, Boys!
The Honest Truth will be handsomely printed with
clear type, on good paper, and each number will
contain fourteen full columns of reading matter; the
columns to be the same length the Lewiston Daily
journal. The first number will contain, with other
matter, the speech to be delivered by Hon. John
Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, at Portland

The Boston Adcertiser pays its respects
to Gen. Plaisted after.this fashion:
The Maine Democratic papers are making
much of the conversion to Greenbackism of
ex-Congressman Plaisted of Bangor. 1t is
queer BUSINESS. 1t is odd that Democrats
should be in glee at q gain made by another
party. 1t is odd, too, that any man in his
senses, who voted for hard money in Congress
and did not break with his party until after
resumption had taken place, should now be-
come follower of Solon Chase. Another re-
markable thing is, that Mr.. Plaisted should
have been able to think of himself as posi-
BILE Republican candidate for Governor, as he
did no longer than six weeks ago. But to
those who know what persistent otfice-seeker
he has been and how far the recognition of his
merits by the Republicans has come short of
his opinion of what it should have been, the
affair will have very little mystery about it.
And the influence of his secession will be so
small that Republicans may well be glad he
has gone over, since in the future they win be
no more troubled by his opportunities.

That Bonbshell.

If the memoranda which appeared in yes
terday's Boston journal be authentic,-and
the Journal vouches for their authenticity
and says they were in Major Smiths hand
writing and bore his initials-the Greenback
candidate for Governor in this State was
willing last fall to abandon his financial
heresies and take his stand on hard-money
platform, if the Republicans would, as they
had the power to do, make him Governor
The evidence certainly strongly sustains
this statement, and unless candidate Smi til
can back up his anticipatory denial by fur
ther testimony the verdict mnst be against
him.
The picture the Journal presents is of a
man who attempted to sell himself to the
Republicans last year, and failing in that,
has entered into bargain with the Demo-
Gratis this year. If the portrait be faithful
we wish tile Greenbackers joy of their can
didate. Unless the allegations brought
against him are disproved theymust feel that
they are supporting man who has deliber-
ately swindled them, and will hasten if they
are honest men, to withdraw that support
The revelations, if sustained, will destroy
whatever chance Major Smith had to be
next Governor of Maine.

MRS. OLIVERis RECORD.
As Portrayed by Mr.. oliver. rot as An
gelic as She Would have the World
Believe-OId simon has Called
an UnIucky Turn on Her.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-In the Came
ron Oliver suit to-day, Thomas NJ. Oliver tes-
tiled that in 1850, in New Orleans, Louisi-
ana, and Raleigh, North Carolina, he was
doing business as a merchant tailor and
clothier; in the spring of 1850 he went to
New York to buy goods. He met plaintiff,
Mrs. Oliver, at Osborne's Masonic regalia
establishment in that city, where she was
working. He visited that city again in the
fall of that year; visited the store and found
her absent; he visited New York again in
the spring of 1851; while in the city that
time, in company with other gentlemen,
he visited an designation house; while waiting
in the parlor for the girls to come in, p aim
tiff came in. He passed that night and sew
eral other nights with her; she told him that
she had been seduced while employed at o.
borne's, by a man named Johnnie Piatt, IN
der promise OF marriage; that she had
child by him, which was born alive, but af-
terward died. He took her south to Ra-
leigh and afterward to Louisville He
lived with her in different places from Au-
gust, 1854, to June /, 1850, at which time
he left ner. On June 5, 1860, he married
his present wife. He never lived
with plaintiff in his mothers house while in
Louisville; his mother had nothing to do
with her; no ceremony of marriage was ever
performed between him and plaintiff by his
book-keeper. He had denied publicly and
to several persons before he left
plaintiff that she WAS ever his wife, and at
no time did he call her Mrs. Oliver or allow
her to be called by that name with his con-
sent. Ad lourned.

ST. LOUIS.
Terrible Prairie Fires in Kansas-Per-
sons PerishinS In the Flames
The Question OF the Secrecy
IF kilograms TO be Tested.

ST.. LOUIS, March 21.-The Globe Demo
Gratis special says another terrible prairie
fire occurred IL Lincoln county, Kansas,
burning the house and all the property of
Mr.. Montgomery, living on Bitter creek, and
doing much other damage. A little son of
Mr.. Montgomery, twelve years old, persisted
in the flames, and Mr.. Montgomery and
Isaac Piaff, 4 neighbor who attempted to
save Mr. Montgomery, was so badly burned
that he died il few hours.
h. b. Brown, manager of the Western
Union telegraph office of this city, was sum-
moned by the grand jury and a demand made
that ne should produce for use to the Jury all
the kilograms sent and received during sew
eral months past by JOHN S. Phelps, governor
OF the State, James C. Nidelet, police COM
missioner of this city, and A. }. Wakefield,
alleged to be at the head Of the so-called
gambling ring here.
Mr.. Brown stated to the jury that he had
been instructed by his superior officers and
advised by counsel to say that there are
grave constitutional, as well as legal,
points involved in the matter; that all the
dispatches passing over the wires are regard
ed by the company as Invlolabiy sacred as
the letters which pass through the mails;
therefore, he must decline to ply with the
demand of the jury. He further stated that
the telegraph company Is anxious to have set
tied the question whether it can be COM
ties to the grand juries, courts, ETC., and re-
spectfully requested that the jury would take
such action in this case as would result in
legal decision of the question. The
probabilities are the jury will report the
matter to the criminal court to morrow, and
that Judge Laughln will order the issue of
a subpoena duces tecuns, for service upon MIR.
Brown. If this should be disregarded, Mr..
Brown will probably be summoned before
RI u-hU ia n
obey the commands of the grand jury, and
the case will then come up for trial. The
cause which brings this condition of things
about was the investigation by the grand
jury of an alleged gamblers ring here, and
the conduct of the police commissioners in
connection Herewith, and the recent reap
poiptment Of Joseph c. Nidelet and the APP
pointment Of tEm. I4add as police commits.

ADJUSTMENTS,
Memphis rheater.

Last night the M'Kee-Rankin dramatic
company gave second presentation OF the
Danites The play was fairly presented by
the company. There are many incongrui-
ties In the piece, aud among others may be
mentioned that Of one OF TIC females of the
Sierras wearing fashionable pair of red
stockings. The play needs polishing up con,
siderably before it can rank as a great
American drama. Joaquin Miller has writ
ton some good poetry, but as o playwright
or dFanatist be Is not successful; indeed. he
may be put down az failure. There age
few good scenes in the play. hut even these
need revision by some intelligent and edu-
Gated actor. The dialogue at times is not az
chagte as it should be, and this can be de-
tectsd at once by the way such passages are
uproariousy applapded by the galleries. 1t
is drama in the rough, WHICH could be re-
modelled and arranged SO as to make it a
Thousand tines more attractive than it IS at
present. The company does quite we'll, each
part being well rendered and made the most
Of. TIE DanitsS will be the attraction at the
matinee to-day and tonight, when the en-
gagement OF the M'Kee- Rankin company
will close.

1t is stated by the police here that James
Curry, the detective who shot and killed the
actor b. Z. Porter, and wounded Maurice
Barrymore at Marshall, Texas, on Thursday
last, some years ago was an employs on the
Charleston railroad, and later au emDioye
on the Little Rock railroad. That some
time before that he shot and killed a man
and two women IN row at Atcheson, Kan
Sas, but escaped, and that when a reward
was offered tor his arrest and he was recop-
nized, he suddenly left the employment of
the Little Roek railroad and disap-
peared in Texas. The police

at5d a great sensation at the time, and the
three men who were arrested as the murder
ers were acquitted on the trial of the case.
OF the actors, whom the assassin Curry at
tackled, fhe Nashville american contains tae
following notice: 'Messrs. Barrymore and
Porter were both well known to theater-
goers here. Porter for years was one Of the
leading men of Furbish' S Fifth avenue COM
pany. His last visit to Nashville was on the
ShGughrGH engagement, when he was the
troupe's stage manager. Or hne personal
appearance, al dCipE tl dOlAlty, anu u ScLtldl
gentleman, he had many friends in and out
Of the profession, and with the public he
was especially popular on the southern
circuit. HIS ability as q stage man
ager made him as prominent in the
profession as his reputation as an actor. Mr..
Porter leaves a mother and wife and chill
dren living in New Jersey, and on this ac-
count doubly the regret will be felt at his
tragic death. Mr.. Barrymore, whose iDju
rias r,rOnahlv danOnrOus visited Nash
vile first with the Lemons combination.
Later he was member Of Days company,
when it appeared here with Fanny Daven-
port. Then he established himself as a
strong favorite here, gaming unusually warm
commentators. Mrs. Barrymore, well
known to the public as Miss Georgia Drew,
and as the daughter of Mrs. John Drew, lett
the troupe a few weeks since on account of
bad health, and it is hoped the news will
have no il effects on her. Mr.. Barrymore's
many friends here will wish him an early
recovery from his injuries"
