The Maine Election.

Up to the last gubernatorial election,
when the people failed to make a choice
and the legislature elected Garcelon,
Democrat, Governor, the State of Maine
was regarded as an unchangeable Re.
publican State. Lincoln carried Maine
by 5000 over the other three candi.
dates, and Hayes carried it by 1900
over Tilden aud Cooper In 1877 the
Republican majority was only ll,5l7,
and in 1878 there was a regular revolu.
ton, and, as stated before, the Demo.
Gratis secured a governor. This year,
with all of Blaine's hard work, the Re.
publicans carried the day by a very
close shave. and the victory is dearly
bought, and the least encouraging that
has ever been shouted from that State,
which has always been first in line. in
Republican triumph.

and Mackey, they being the leading
ated. Its hold on the politics OF the
State was firm and sweeping, but fear
fully demoralizing. 1t controlled the
Republican party in Convention and
Legislature nominated and defeated
candidates had powerful Harrisbur
lobby at its beck and nod, and the Re-
publican press pensioned and corrupt
ed. IL was master of the State.
1t is this Treasury Ring that the Re
publican managers and jobbers propose
TO reinstate in power ut Harrisburg.
There has been an interregnum of hon.
esty and square dealing for couple of
years. But the Ring is hungry for its
old power and its old gains. The plan
OF operations was laid down Mt the Re.
publican State Convention, and the first
step was the nomination, under the
auspices OF Cameron, Quay, kemble &
Co., of Mr.. Butler, of Chester county,
for State Treasurer. Kemble, who pro.
moted this nomination, was a leading
spirit of the Treasury combination
when Mr.. Mackey was at its head, as
we'll as during his own term as State
Treasurer, when he amassed immense
wealth on tritiing salary. Butler is
the chosen one of the Ring. lie IL al.
lied with the Legislative corruptionists.
lie moved in the Republican caucus
that Cameron's nomination for the
United States Senate should be made
unanimous, thus ignoring and disr,.
garding the honest sentiment of the Re.
publicans of Chester county. lie voted
against the expulsion from the I.egsa.
ture of the convicted briber and lobby.
ist Petroh. His especial friends and
supporters in the Republican State Con.
vention rejected with insults and con.
tumely Wolie's resolution demanding
honest men in Office and denouncirg
the corrupt methods adopted to pass
kemble's four millions steal last winter.
Obviously, in selecting Mr.. Butler as
their candidate for State Treasurer, ii o
Treasury Ring knew what it was about.
1t picked out reliable man for the
work proposed.
We turn from this dangerous and
alarming record OF the Republican can.
didate for State Treasurer, which clearly
shows his connection with the worst
elements of the Republican party, to
the Democratic nominee, Mr.. Barr and
we have every assurance that under his
administration of the State Treasury
the Constitution and laws will be rigid.
ly construed and implicitly obeyed, in
the management OF the State funds.
There will be no speculation or stock
gambling with the peoples money.
There will be no Treasury Rings. The
books of the Office will be open TO the
public. The unexpended balance will
not be the banking capital of comb.
nation ofreckless political and financial
spectators. Mr. Barr is pledged by
the resolutions OF the Democratic Con.
vention, anG by his own record and dec.
larations, to this course. And his elec.
ton IS the one guarantee possible to the
people OF Pennsylvania that the old
Treasury Ring will not be revived in all
its power and corruption. This is the
most important home issue on which
our people will vote in November.

The medals weigh three ounces each.
Each medal bears the name of the ex-

accompanied by diploma with the sig

and Commerce and the French Com

group and class in which the award was
made. The medals are JOG in number.

Adyenturesses In Washington.

No city in the republic, not even New
York, so swarms with adventuresses as
Washington, which has for years been
the chosen field of the bold, dangerous,
wholly unprincipled tribe. They can
be counted by hundreds; they are of
every sort and degree. They are in the
departments, at the hotels, at the board
ing houses-everywhere that man can
be found, seduced, or frightened. Their
missions are multifarious, and their
movements mysterious. Theya are seek
ing positions; they are lobbyists: they
have, or their friends have, claims.
They need personal, political, pecun-
larry ssistance-indeed, all kinds, ex-
cept the moral kind. Most of them are
blackmailers. They are so crafty and
treacherous that public men of reputa-
ton or means are afraid of, and always
on the alert against, them. The late
Salmon p. Chase would never, during
his official life at the capital, see a
woman he did not know intimately, ex-
cept in the presence of witnesses. Many
Congressman, Senators, and other
officeholders have also made it a rule to
receive no visits from women alone

Five Little Stitches.

Five little stitches! And they were
taken more than twenty-five years ago.
Little Rose went to the "infant school"
then. It was a very happy place for the
little folks. They had no hard lessons
in arithmetic or geography. The near
est approach to lessons was saying over
the multiplication table" in a sort of
rhyming concert-"Twice one are two,
twice two are four" while the teacher
slid along the little wooden balls on the
wire frame, to suit the words. No, but
when the marching and singing were
over there were plenty of busy fingers
learning to sew.
Rose was making blocks of patch
work. ine-patch," her nc other called it.
One warm June day, Rose found her
needle rather dull, and the new pink
chintz so hard to sew; her fingers trem-
bled when she came to where the four
corners met, and she tried in vain, with
her little thimbleless finger, to push the
needle through so many thicknesses of
cloth. She looked at the little girl who
sat next her on the same bench-an
older girl than Rose by two years, and
rich in the possession of "real silver "
thimble. Rose passed the block to
Pogue-a curious name, but her very
own, and it rhymed with her surname,
too-and motioned to little hard cor
ner, touching her thimble and nodding
and winking significantly. Pogue un-
derstood, and, taking the pine-patch,
sewed very neatly over the hard place

ishing institution, which derives its ex-
istence from charter originally granted
for building plank road in an interior
town, and has hitherto defeated every
attempt to suppress it. At last, how
ever, the authorities have organized a
movement against it which promises to
end its existence. Prosecutions were
commenced some months ago against
the managers, agents and vendors, and be-
tween 500 and 600 cases have been pend
ing ever since. Everybody supposed that
the matter had been compromised in
some way until some days ago, when all
the cases were called up and fines of
from $50 to $500 apiece imposed on the
offenders, some forty of whom had to
go to Jail because they could not raise
the cash. The lottery people have been
very much demoralized by this mex
pected attack, and the community be-
gins to hope that they are near the end
of their rope.

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The Little Chickens.

Ten little chickens scratching in the SUM-
One found worm and started of to run;
Every little chicken followed here and there,
Each one determined TO get at least a share.
One little chicken pulled the worm away,
The other nine chickens Joining In the fray,
Running hither, thither, adding to the fun;
Nine little chickens running after one.
In and out the garden, everywhere they go
Foolish, foolish chickens-better you should know.
Anxious Bddy wonders il they've gone astray,
Clucks, her neck outsretchng, then she looks each
way.
Presently these chickens gather round about.
But the worm has vanished-swallowed, I've no
doubt.
Once again they're scratching in the garden bed,
Or else in the sand bank they will roll instead.
Now the wise old mother calls them to the pen,
Counts them, and Is happy when she finds the ten.
Tucks them very gently under hor warm breast
Where they soon are sleeping quietly at rest.
Early in the morning, ere the break of day,
Every chick is peeping merry roundelay
Where the sun is shining on garden, brake and
fern.
Every chick is scratching for another worm.
