Gen. Chamberlain announces that he is deter
mined to maintain the present status of affairs
in Maine until the supreme court of the state
shall decide which of the two legislatures is the
legal one. So far there appears to be genera
acquiescence in Gen. Chamberlain's authority
except on the part of the fusionst leaders, who
are not willing to submit their case to the court
Mr.. Lamson has no just grounds OF complaint,
because his authority as governor Is not re-
Spected and obeyed. He was the first himself,
to question his right to assume and exercise the
functions OF governor. Then he was seeking to
obtain an advantage over the republ leans by
keeping them out OF the legislature They ap-
Piled TO Mr.. LamSon, as governor, to swear
them In and he declined TO do So saying he was
not convinced that he was legally invested with
the powers OF the Office Gen. Chamberlain is
impartial in the exercise of the authority he
holds. He refuses to recognize the republican
legislature for the same reason that he de-
clneS to recognize that of the fusonists, and
there is no reason to doubt his ability to keep
the peace in the event that either side should
attempt violence. The decision of the supreme
court upon the contending claims for power
will be received undoubtedly. with sat1sfac-
ton by large majority of the citizens. The
small technical question as to how the matter
gets before the court is OF little or no conse-
quence. The decision will be none the less lust
and right, because some formality has not been
observed. The pretence Of both parties is that
they desire to arrive at what Is just and right,
and under the circumstances the highest court
of the state is the lttest body to decide the
question at issue.

The workingmen OF this country, through
their various organizations, will make another
attempt to have Congress declare for the en-
forcement Of the elght-hour law. A resolution
OF this character was defeated by large vote
in the House last session, and there is no iQdca-
ton of any change OF opinion in its favor
among members since The eight-hour law
exists, and the workingmen ask Congress TO
say that it shall be enforced. The law, of
course, applies only to men employed by the
government. The idea OF workingmen not en-
ployed BY the government is that II the law
were enforced and the eight-hour system
firmly established in all public works, it would
have an influence towards securing Its adoption
by individuals and corporations. This, how
ever, is not practical view of the subject
Labor is like any other commodity upon the
market. It's price Will be regulated by the nat
ural law OF supply and demand.

According to the Washington correspondent
OF the New York Times Qor Grant,, certain
leading republicans In Washington are engaged
Gin systematic effort TO aid the presidential
candidacy Of Secretary Sherman by throwing
cold water upon the sentiment in favor OF the
denomination OF Gen. Grant" The Times cor
respondent says THAT at least three member;
OF Congress from New York are prominently
ldentlned with the movement We suspect
tnefe Is considerable maneuvering going on in
Washington just now In behalf of more than
one candidate for the presidency, and that the
friends OF Gen. Grant are not the sort of men to
get left" In this game.

evidently. He is massing troops at Ghaznai, south

The schemers to build Panama ca
nal, a ship canal, through Nicaragua,
and Il Tehuantepec railroad, seem to
be quite deaf to the expressed opinions
of practical railroad men that the
Northern Pacific road when COM
pleted will entirely obviate the neccs-
sity for either of those costly routes,
on foreign territory, between the At
lantic and the Pacific.
This much is sure. The moment
the Northern Pacific is finished its
managers will put down freights from
rates that shipping cannot stand the
to bring their freights to the railroad,
both west and east.
TO foreshadow the killing rates that
are ahead of the Panama canal and
the ships for whose Use ii is projected,
the New York Central road has sew
eral times in the last season taken
wheat from Buffalo to New York for
four and a half cents a bushel. That
is equivalent to Sl.50 per ton, or so
Il car, for five hundred miles. If five
hundred miles is onc-siXth of the dis
tance from New York to Tacoma over
the Northern Pacific road, then at that
low rate freight can be carried from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, by rail, for
nine dollars and less per ton.
Time is an element of competition.
Time is an element of the cost of
transportation. The road can beat
the canal fifty per cent. on time. On
rates added to time, the Northern Pa
citic can so beat any Isthmus canal a,
to make Congressional favor of il pre-
posterous and unjustitiablc. .-PhUodcl-

This was not caused by a rise in the
river, as the water was low and there
was no ice gorged below, the island
being situated but n short distance
above the break of the falls. Ii was
plain that the phenomenon was due to
the gradual suhsidence of the island
itself. Seeing this, Mr.. Corbcll one

singular Discovery.

\ statement comes from South AM

leaves has been discovered by a fruit
grower. Having cut down some to-
mato vines, he used them as mulch
around his peach trees. He soon dis
covered that the 'curculio, which was
destroying his fruit, had abandoned
the tree surrounded by the tomato
vines. Following up this accidental
discovery, the free use of tomato vines
proved 4 better protection, not only
against curculio, butother noXious in

The German government recently
paid the highest compliment to the
United state, by addressing, through
the German minister at Washington,
n letter requesting to be exactly in
formed rs to the processes by which
the signal service bureau SO promptly
collects at the War department the
meteorological reports from all parts
of the United Statcs-an extent of ter
ritory greater than Europe-and SO
rapidly drafts aud publishes them
upon the printed dairy weather map.
These maps are issued three hours af-
ter the records are read at the different
stations. When it is remembered
that the request comes from govern
ment noted for its skilled chartograph-
ers, and standing first in Europe, the
value of the compliment will be ap-
preciated. 1t is understood that the
German government proposes an adj
vance in meteorological work. The
information sought has been minutcly
prepared by the chief signal officer.
Gen. Myer, with the approval of the
Secretary of War.
