to be W. H. Rateman, man who had
worked In Cheshire township and had

THE MAINE CONSPIRACY.

The report of the committee charged
with the investigation into the late Maine
conspiracy shows that no exaggeration has
been practiced in regard to that crime. 1t
was, in fact, as thoroughly infamous
series of outrages and frauds as has ever
been perpetrated by INSCRIPTIONS scoun-
drels for any purpose whatever. The pro-
ceedings of Garcelon and his Council were
one prolonged succession of the most con-
scienceless frauds. 1t is evident that Gar
celon himself is so much worse than his
confederates as consists in adding hypocrisy
and can't to their bold villainies. He and
they together doctored all the returns,
forged figures and names, garbled certif-
Gates, suppressed facts, counted out every
Republican, and counted in every Fusion
ist, Systematically and methodically. 1t
was a desperately bold game they played.
There was no hesitation, no pretense of
concealment, no half-measures. The sue
cess of the scheme could alone have pre-
vented the discovery of the means by which
it was achieved, and they evidently be-
lieved that they had rendered defeat impos-
sible. 1t further appears that Garcelon
and his gang have considerable sums of
the State money in their possession yet,
which they appropriated without color of
law, and which it is mildly suggested they
would do well to cover into the treasury.
1t is to be hoped that henceforth Garcelon
will refrain from his favorite protestations
of innocence, and it is still more to be
hoped that the people of Maine will insist
upon the arraignment and vigorous prose-
cution of the whole gang of political swim
dlers. So monstrous a conspiracy against
the liberties of Commonwealth ought not
to be condoned. 1t is not enough that it
to be made examples of. No more dan
gerous and demoralizing doctrine could get
abroad than that which holds political
fraud to be less scandalous and criminal
than other breaches of the law, and which
permits political offenders to go free where
any other kind of criminals would be Wis
tied with the full legal penalties. Gar
celon and his confederates ought to go to
the Penitentiary for long term of years,
and they should be pursued until their
conviction is secured, to the end that other
knavish schemers may be warned against
similar experiments for all time to come.

dams. It is possible that he may
succeed in this, but the condi-
tions to be dealt with are evidently
unusually complicated and intractable, and
we do not believe that enough is known
yet to warrant decided opinion on the
practicability of the undertaking M.
Lesseps is not an engineer himself, it must
be remembered, and therefore his opinions
are necessarily secondhand. Indeed his
vagueness in regard to the details of the
enterprise has damped the ardor of Eu-
ropean capitalists so seriously that the
financial prospects of the affair are by
no means rose-colored Nor are the en-
cheering difficulties the only ones. The
expression of opinion in this country has
been SO emphatically in favor of the as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine in re-
gard to the canaling of the Isthmus, that
it is clear this point will have to be
settled definitely before the enterprise
can be commenced. NJ Lesseps says
that he has nothing to do with any inter-
national questions, and that no national
consideration is related to his project
That may be true enough SO far as he is
concerned, but it is none the less incum-
bent on the American people to guard the
Isthmus against possible foreign domina-
ton, and it is evidently contingent upon
the performance of this duty that foreign
capital may be driven from the investment.
No doubt American capital could be had
in plenty to prosecute the enterprise, if
its thorough practicability was demon
strated. But if American capital alone is
to build the canal Americans will desire to
control the operations, and it may appear
that there is not much advantage for M.
Lesseps in such an arrangement. In short,
the scheme is in very immature con-
dition, and it NAV never come to MATURITY

CHINA AND RUSSIA.


The symptoms of growing difficulties
between China and Russia are unmistaka-
BILE, and it is quite possible that they may
eliminate in war The dispute over the
Kuldja Treaty is not amenable to easy
treatment, and the degradation and re-
ported execution of the Chinese envoy
who signed it promises no conciliatory
policy on the partof the Pekin Government.
Russia has already had some experience of
the terribly business-like way in which
China makes war in Central Asia. A Chi
nese army advances by very slow stages,
but it holds every foot of ground. 1t will
often deliberately sow the crops when it
takes up a position, and wait until they
are ripe. BY that time it has covered the
face of the country with forts and garrisons.
It offers to the inhabitants of conquered
countries their choice between peace
and determination, and it is equally
faithful to either condition. The Chinese
armies have hitherto been i'll drilled and
armed, but Chinese Gordon showed during
the Tae- Ping rebellion that no better ma
terial for soldiers existed, and as arms of
precision are now being furnished the
troops, and European drill-masters en-
gagged, it is possible that it will be no long
time before they are able to hold their own
even with Russian regulars. The advan-
tages of communication must be all with
the Chinese, moreover. The Russians
must fight far from their base of supplies,
and they can only procure reinforcements
by painful and tedious journeys, covering
many weeks or months 1t has
been calculated that by great exer-
tions Russia might introduce an army
of 10000 men into Central Asia,
but it would be necessary to
furnish almost their entire subsistence, the
country being for the most part too poor to
depend upon, and in the event of serious
reverse retreat would be almost impossible.
There can be no doubt that the Chinese
Government is being spurred to aggression
by English counsels, and that Beacons6eld
would eagerly welcome so important a d.
version as war between these two powers
which would probably result in gripping
both of them. The efforts of Russia to en-
tangle China and Japan in quarrel ap-
pear to have failed, and if this is the case
it will leave the Pekin Government free to
concentrate its military strength upon the
Russian problem.

MISERABLE WORDS.

One day, several years ago, when l was
rather young man, the editor OF one of
the great New York dailies, for which l
was doing occasional articles, called me
into his sanctum. He held manuscript
of mine in his hand, and on his countenance
was an expression which | hastily and
inaccurately translated into declined
with thanks"
81 notice the word gent here" lie said,
thoughtfully tapping the paper with his
forehnger; "have you spelled it correct
ly?"
"Have MT spelled it CENT? asked
in astonishment.
81 believe so but won't you have the
goodness to look it up in the dictionary +"
turned confidently to Webster's Una
bridged, and presently became rather red
in the face at not being able to find the
word in that bewildering store-house.
perhaps there is no such word in the
English language" slyly suggested the
editor; Sin which case we had better
strike it out of the article"
This little lesson made so deep an i'm
preston ON me, and instilled into my heart
such hatred of the word gent, that l
believe if | were naked and starving /
would refuse to be clothed gratis at a
"Gents' Furnishing Store, or accept
complimentary dinner in ''Gents' Saloon.
Yet | find this odious word set down in
Latham's expensive dictionary as proper
word, and its use duly authorized By exam
pies drawn from the works of Thackeray
and Beaconsfeld. These authors do not,
as l at first imagined, put the word into
the mouth of some subordinate character,
but have used it themselves IN their quality
of gentlemen writing for gentlemen. Mr..
Richard Grant White wittily remarks that
"gents and pant" belong together, for
the former always wear the latter. He
disdains even to discuss the word. There
seems to be a conflict OF authority. |
know Mr.. White to be very excellent
authority, and l am told, what l shall
always find difficult to believe, that Mr..
Latham deserves high rank as lexicogra-
pher. Ii "gent" is to be tolerated by
careful writers, then let us accept "pants"
for trousers, ttranspire for happen or
occur, and, in brief, adopt all the varie-
gated and wonderful vocabulary of the
average newspaper.
The word "gent, however, does describe
class. When you see greasy young fell
low who seems a cross between rustic
and negro minstrel off dnty,-a person
with cap set far back on his closely cropped
head, tight trousers that suddenly full at
the ankle, and shoes with turned-up,
pointed tips where does he get those
shoes ?),-when you see this vulgar little
object, you see 81 gent" You will en-

THE DEBRIS DEBATE.

The action of the Assembly on the de-
bris question has thus far been most I'M
promising for the public interests involved.
The feeble support given to the PROPOSE
ton to raise the necessary revenue by gen
eral taxation was partially explained by
the tenor of the arguments advanced
against that policy, for it was made ap-
parent that the opponents of it had given
no adequate consideration to the question,
and that they utterly failed to apprehend
its true scope. A disposition was mani
tested to resist all propositions which en-
braced any broad view of the subject, and
members seemed to think that they were
displaying profound craftsmanship in seek
ing to throw the entire burden of the
relief works upon the smallest possible
number of taxpayers. Mr.. Sweetland's
amendment, which provides for the hold
ing of elections in drainage districts to
determine whether the people shall tax
themselves for the construction of relief
works, can only be defended on the
theory that the State has no interest in
the preservation of the rivers, or in the
protection of the farmers from ruin. OF
necessity it follows from the adoption of
this narrow and unstatesmanlike doctrine
that the farmers have no concern with the
interests of the State, and that they are
therefore in no way under obligation to
refrain from the prosecution of such pro-
ceedings as may result in the closing of the
hydraulic mines. Hitherto it has been
argued with much plaus1bility that the sus-
pension of the hydraulic mines would so
injure the commonwealth as to justify it in
joining the sufferers from the debris in the
construction of relief works. The aban-
donment of all responsibility for the
damage on the part of the State of course
removes all warrant for the further main
tenance of this position. If the debris
evil is no concern of the States, neither
is the fate of the hydraulic mining
interest any concern of she farmers.
The effect of the Sweetland amendment

own independence. Upon this the En-
bassador gravely observed that in case HIS
Majesty refused the required suppression,
he was instructed to demand his pass
ports instantly. King Louis was
peaceful monarch, and rather than
go to war with Russia he sacrificed his in
dependence and the honor of his country,
and caused the obnoxious article to be
suppressed Since Their, however, things
have changed, and now when Alexander
demands the extradition of man charged
with deliberate attempt to assassinate
him and his family, the French Government
refuses to accede to the demand, on the
ground that the connection of the accused
with the crime has not been made out
There can be no doubt as to the right of
France to be punctilious in matter of this
kind, but it is none the less certain that
such scrupulousness is calculated to exas-
perate the Gar. Bismarck is probably not
particularly chagrined at the prospect of
quarrel between the two powers which
cause him the greatest uneasiness, and it
is scarcely to be supposed that he would
take much trouble to keep them from go
ing to war. Both Russia and France,
however, probably know better than to
make such a mistake as that, even though
they should go the length of suspending
diplomatic relations

THE CASE OF HARTMANN.

If it be true, as reported, that Hart
mann, whose extradition was demanded by
Russia of France, and refused, has admit
ted that he was chosen by the Nihilists to
assassinate the Gar, the confession will
not tend to mitigate the asperity which
the French Governments course has bred
between the two countries. There is a
story to the effect that in the reign of
the Gar Nicholas, certain French
journal contemplated the publication of a
recent scandal concerning the Russian
Court, and that the fact coming to the
knowledge of the Car he instantly dis
patched courier to demand the sup
preston of the publication. Louis
Philippe, the Citizen King, was then on
the throne of France, and when the Rus
sian ambassador called on him and laid
his instructions before him, Louis was at
first disposed to resent the dictatoriat
course of the Car, and to talk about his
