Cap'n Chase for Mayor.

This ever ing the Democrats of Portland
hold their preliminary caucuses. They
make very little talk concerning their candi-
date for Mayor. and are very likely waiting
for proposal from the Greenbackers-thi
being leap year the weaker party is entitled
to "pop." While they are hesitating and
before they have committed themselves be-
commend to them Cap'n Charles Chase, ex-
Councillor. He is the most conspicuous
representative of the count-out to be found
in the city, and took a leading part in that
proceeding. AS it is the declared intention
of the Fusionists to appeal to the people and
seek judgment upon the questions raised by
Garcelon and his Council it is emnently fit
ling that Cap'n Chase be selected as STAN
dard- bearer In other cities those whose
NAMES appear in the Black List are pushed
for the well-nigh successful steal. In Lew
iston Garcelon himself, in Auburn Tabula-
tor Fogg, are talked of as candidates for the
chief magistracy of their cities. Doubtless
Pilsbury would be brought forward in Au-
gusta were it not that he is about to leave
he State Portland certainly should not
be behind-hand nor hesitate to put forward
the man of all its citizel who is most inti-
nately connected with the count out. Cap'n
Chase would. of course, be an acceptable
candidate to the Democrats hose purposes
he hls 50 faithfully served, and there is No
reason why he should not be agreeable to
the Greenbackers. We are in the dark as to
his financial views,-as much so as he is
himself-but doubt not that now as when he
was in the Executive Council he will agree
to anything that promises victory. He is
not a fanatic.
The nomination of Cap'n Chase would
naturally commend itself to the business
men of the city, who are acquainted with
his many admirable qualities and will be
,lad of an opportunity to express their ap-
probation of them. To the citizens at large
the choice of him will be looked upon as
eminently proper; for they see in him an ur-
bane, cool, clear-headed fair-Ininded magis-
trate, cherishing an almost superstitious re-
gard for right, for the interests of the city,
and for the good of his fellow -men. He will
satisfy, too, the demand for mayor with
some backbone" A man who goes all the
way to Washington to assure Congress that
he isn't sorry for anything he has done, has

way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE is NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit. They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff joints wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer-
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
ced 10 them. They perform cures never be
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than of all other lini-
ments, ointments oils, embrocations plasters
and so-called pain-killers combined.

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-

Rise in Real Property.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin has a
Leader on the ''Coming Boom in Real Es
tate" and gives instances of sales of real
property at handsome advance over the
prices offered year ago. The holder of a
couple of acres of marsh land near the new
Park was offered last week fifty cents foot
for it, though within year he had offered it
at thirty cents foot and found no purchas-
er. A still better "straw" is found on Sum-
mer street, where business edfice that had
been offered at private sale'at $4,000 for
over year, brought S54,05O at auction. A
Boston Savings Bank which had foreclosed
piece of suburban property under a $780,
900 mortgage, has just sold it for S2l. 1000 to
purchaser who had previously refused to
pay over $4,000 for it.
Other examples indicating general move
ment are given, and owners of real estate
and small holders, whose possession of en-
cumbered homesteads or other equities has
often been accompanied by much distress.
are advised to take courage at the appre-
ciated value Of their property, as well as
at their improved ability to earn the means
to retain it.
We congratulate the real property owners
of Portland at the approaching advance in
the value of their property, and indeed there
is reason to believe that the movement is
already felt here. We have been informed
of sale of business at an advance of thirty
three per cent. above the sum offered within
a year, by the same party who bought, and
we hear of other offers for improved real es-
tate that last year would have been eagerly
taken, and of inquiries and negotiations by
investors in the. neighborhood of our new
Park and in other parts of the city.
After long period of depression conf
dence in real values is of slow birth, but
once established, of rapid growth. With the
rise in wages, which must soon follow the
improvement in business, our city will share
with the whole country the approaching era
of great prosperity.
