Women, the library and the Phillips Memorial
Church aggregated S2,0O0.O00. Hewas quiet,
nostentatious Christian gentleman, fond Of
books and art and inspired by the loftiest sent

Osg of the unexpected sources Of wheat sup
ply for Europe il the river Platte country III
South America. Large shipments of new-crop
wheat have already been made by steamers to
Liverpool and bordeaux. Australia, also, has
now become q serious competitor Of the United
States and during the past two months has
shipped enormous quantities Of wheat to
England by Sucz canal steamers. Countries
in the southern hemisphere finish their
winter wheat haryests at just the
time when the supply from northern
countries begins to be exhausted. These uneI
pected receipts of wheat have been the chief
cause Of the recent decline in price.

Lessons IL the Maine Tmhroglio.


Whatever evil may result from the com
plications ia Name, they teach lesson
which should be Decided throughout the
country, and that is that competency should
prevail 10 the public service. An the
confusion, trouble, aud uproar in that
State, which is rapidly spreading through
out the Union, is chsrgeable to ineompe-
tency in the officers whose duty it was to
properly sort, count, make up and certify
the returns. There il no charge Of at
tempted fraud against those officers, but
that they ignOrautly, or carelessly, made
up the returns not in conformity with the
legal requirements, is beyond question.
This incompetency has grown out of the
system so largely practiced everywhere, Of
rewardiug party service with Office regard
less of the fitness of the applicant. Men
who vote a party ticket for number Of
years, many Of whom could not give an
intelligent reason why they did, come for
ward for position, and demand it as right
as debt the party owes them for stead
fastness in the service. The fact that
they never cut their tickets is regarded by
them as sufficient qualification, aud the
party very often rewards diem rather than
lose lhc votes Of themselves and friends.
The positions Of registrars aud judges
aud clerks oi election, are 50 lightly re.
garded, owing somewhat to the meagre sal.
aries, that alu. ost any man considers himself
competent for either position, aud so great
is the desire for ofise hundreds of people
anxiously seek these places, who have not
one qualification for them. To keep the
party intact and to maintain power, their
demands are aceeded to. This is the case
everywhere, aud it is very possible that il
the test Of the law was rigidly applied to
the acts Of registrars, judges and clerks Of
election aud canyassing boards, many such
complications as those in Maine would
arise throughout the Union. Ifthe Maine
imbroglio will have the effect to elevate
the standard Of those entrusted with
election machinery, not only in Maine, but
elsewhere, and tend to make then careful
to comply with law, it will work blessing
throughout the country. There is to be
no war in Maine, but if the lessons taught
by the complications there will serve to
avert such danger elsewhere, the country
will be benfted thereby.
