The SpeakerShip.

The Bangor Wing suggests for Speaker OF
the next Maine House, George Z. weeks,
ESQ.,, of Augusta, and the suggestion Is
warmly endorsed by the Kennebec journal.
Should the House also add its endorsement,
Il would have nothing to regret, Tor Mr..
Weeks is an able man and would make an
excellent Speaker. He has served three
terms in the Legislature with honor and has
lust been elected the fourth time. Besides
being a good legislator, he is one of the
hardest and most successful workers in the
republican party, and on this score is entitled
10 the favorable consideration Of the House
in selecting its officers. - Biddeford Union
and Journal.
For Speaker Of the House, Geo. +. Weeks,
Esq, of Augusta, is favorably mentioned.
He has now been elected for the fourth term,
and unquestionably is very well qualified for
the position. There are other gentlemen,
for instance Mr.. Hale Of Ellsworth, or Prof.
Young of Brunswick, who would honor the
position and discharge its duties with unusual
ability, but we do not understand that they
desire it, while the public would prefer to
have their services on the floor. Thus far
Mr.. Weeks is the only man prominently adj
vanced for Speaker, and We know no reason
why his election would not be entirely salts

The Montreal Herald, of Friday, notices a
strong upward turn in cheese and butter, with
the market greatly excited.
Seven steamships sailed from New York
for Europe Saturday, taking out cargoes val
ued in the aggregate at considerably over
81, 900, 600.
Cheese has advanced in Liverpool to 40
shillings, and at Little Falls. N. Y, large
sales have been made at 8 to 81 cents.
A new industry has just been started which
seems to be worthy Of attention. 1t is the
manufacture of fine syrups for table use, OF

There is an impression that the green
back candidate for governor Of Ohio will
dedicated, and that he will drag down with
him the democratic strength in the legis'
lature so that Thurman, whose term in the
Senate expires in 1881, will be defeated
when he comes up for reelection. The
democrats who took their chances with
fusion and greenbackism are likely to
learn lesson which they will not soon
forget. The demagogues who sought to
rise on the country's dishonor are going
down to the political graves they richly
deserve.

Butter.

The quantity of bad butter made in this
country is surprising, not in the West and
South only, where planters and farmers do
not understand, and do not care to learn, the
art of making it; but in the Middle States,
and even in New England, where it is better
made than anywhere else. The chief trouble
is ignorance as to the method of working but
ter. Comparatively few work out the butter
milk, and consequently the butter, however
sweet at first, will not keep. A great many
people, fortunately for their palates, have no
idea what good butter is, being actually in
capable of telling good from bad But great
many others know 80 we'll that they cannot
eat any but the best, and the best is very hard
to get, and very expensive also. Even in
great cities like New York, Boston, Chicago,
and Cincinnati, good butter cannot be had ex-
cept at what is called q fancy price. Here,
for example, many families are obliged to pay
so cents . pound during Spring and Summer,
and 81 pound during Autumn and Winter,
for prime butter. Philadelphia butter, as 1t
is named, commands from Is cents to 81 the
year round. The frst-class hotels and res
taurants always have excellent butter; they
are obliged to have 1t. But the moment you
leave them, the butter is prscarious, even
suspicious. Indeed, you very rarely get it.
Not nearly enough good butter Is made to
supply the demand at any ordinary rates.
You must pay double price to secure it. 1t
is nearly as easy to make good as it 10 to
make poor butter; but farmers have not yet
found it out. II competent persons would 20
through the country, instructing others how
to make butter. it would be an important and
benevolent work. What the quality of but
ter was in ancient times is unknown. Many
people think it modern article Of food; but
it seems to have been used largely by the an
cient Hebrews The earliest distinct men,
ton Of it is by Herodotus, and frequent refer
ence is made to il by writer's of the same age.
The old Greeks and Romans employed it ~
an ointment in their baths the former gain
ing their knowledge of it from the Scythisns,
Thracians, and Phrygians, while the Romans
got butter from Germany. In Southern Eu-
rope it is now very sparingly used, and in Ita-
~, Spain, Portugal, and Southern France it
is sold by apothecaries medically, for exter-
nal application. This is the greatest butter
making State in the Union, about one-fourth
of all the butter in the country being produced
by New York-Chautauqua, Delaware, Che
mango, Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Orange and
Otscgo exceeding all other counties. Some
thing like lao, OOO, 900 pounds are said to be
made in the entire country, and its value il

President Hayes on StalWart
Ground.

In the recent speeches which he has
made in some of the Western States, Presi-
dent Hayes has placed himself on the same
platform with the stalwart republicans OF
the country in regard to the Southern ques-
ton. In the speech which he made Wed.
nesday, at Youngstown. Ohio, at tie re-
union of his old regiment, he spoke yer,
decidedly and clearly against the doctrine
Of State Rights, affirming that it was the
chief issue in the late war, and that it was
settled by the result of the struggle, against
the doctrine as held by the South.
But notwithstanding that the war was
supposed to have settled this question. and
all parties appeared to have accepted in
1876 the amendments to the Constitution
which grew out of the war, "there still
remains" says President Hayes. "ir
"some communities, a dangerous practi
zeal denial to the colored citizens of tn,
political rights which are guaranteed t.
"them by the Constitution as it now is.
He might have added that white citizens
as well as colored are denied civil and
political rights in the S..uth, and that NJ
man has any rights in the most Of places
In the Southern States unless he votes thu
