bullion always causes the Assayer trouble.
- the Mint assays and wiegand's never
agree. Sometimes the Mint assAys were

Mr.. Crawford has recently received . letter

been more courteous in Mr.. wiegand to
have waited until the returns from San
Francisco we're in hand before rushing into

THE MAINE MUDDLE.

There is great excitement in
Maine and in fact all over the country
caused by the Governor and Council
throwing out large vote, which chan
ges the Legislature foom Republican
to Greenback and Democratic. The
grounds for doing this is that some of
the judges Of the elections at num-
ber of voting places neglected to sign
the election returns. We were as
anxious to see the Republican party
defeated in Maine as any one, but
since a majority Of the voters of that
state have seen fit to elect Republi-
can Legislature, it is our duty to sub
init. This thing Of disregarding the
wishes Of the majority won't do, and
we hope the Greenback members of
the Legislature will see that every
member who was elected gets his seat
1t is no reason because the judges re-
fused or neglected to do their duty
that the voters should be disfran-
chised, and every law abiding citizen
will denounce any attempt made by
politicians to over ride the wishes of
the majority.

A Bout Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufactu-
rel q has led to an extent of adulteration
and cheapening of material never before
known in the business. Crude rubber has
the quality of absorbing or of becoming
incorporated with very large quantity of
cheap and bulky substances, like amp
black, chalk, &C., which cannot be detected
by the uninitiated, and which impair the
durability OF the goods. People call for
low priced goods. not rejecting that low
prices always mean low quality. The re-
suit is, they vast money on "wild cat''

the evening Of the first day of the conven-

cries of "vote;" "vote;" but suddenly the

SOLOy CHASE ON THE MAINE ELEC-
4.f.- TION.

Solon Chase writes to the Bangor
Commercial concerning the Maine
election troubles as follows:
Thus far only the Governor and
Council have acted. In acting accor-
ding to the strict letter of the law, the
governor and council may have ovor-
looked the common law, which Is
founded on common sense and justice,
and which is in the head of every hon.
est man. This common law is the
shield and sheet anchor Of our liber-
ties and can't be winked out of sight.
If the Greenbackers had carried
the house and senate on the face OF the
returns and the Republicans had had
the returning board, and they had
done just what the governor and coun-
Gil have done, how we would have
howeled, and it is no wonder the Re-
publicans howl.
The legislation of the Republican
party has been most villainous-has
robbed the producer to enrich the
fundholder, and we have made our
gains by showing this robbery. 1t is
only by honesty and devotion to our
principles that we can hope to make
gains in the future.
The Greenback members of the leg
islature are honest men-too hon
est to stay in the old parties =
and now have duty to do. That du-
tyis to deal out even handed justice.
As there are large number of vacan
cies in the Legislature, justice to the
people demands that these vacancie:
be filed as soon as may be, SO that
the whole state be represented in the
business of legislation. In settling
contested seats, technicalities must moi
stand in the way of equities. Moth
ing short of even handed justice viii
satisfy fair minded men. The green
back axe must hew to this line and
let the chips tall where they will.
The greenback party will be respon
sible for the acts of the greenbacl
legislature. A majority Of the mel
who hold certificates as members o
the legislature are Greenbackers.-
These men are the jury to review tn
action of the governor and council
and can go behind returns. If tn
verdict of that jury is hawkeyed, AM
made up according to the logic of t
z it will be scorpion bite to the RAJ
baby. If that jury metes out equs
and exact justice to all men it will b
feather in the cap of the Greenbacl
party Of Maine.
To resist the governor and counci
until their action has been reviewed b
the legislature is resistance to the con
stitute1 authoriti es. The findings Q
the governor and council are binding
for the time being. An attempt t
set aside the decisions of the governo
and council by force is revolution. :
I.awless force, no matter from wha
source it comes, cannot usurp tn
place of authority clothed with tn
forms Of law.
If the constitution leaves open
chance to "count in" men who are no
elected, the Greenback legislator

Hints on Calling, for Young Men.

An exchange gives the following timely
advice:
Cards should not be over foot square.
When you send in your card don sit
on the gate post until invited in.
If yOu are going to stay all day take of
your hat.
Do not polish your nose with your hand
kerehief if your coat sleeve is ut hand.
If yon are invited to stay all night do
not sleep with your boots on.
Do not go out to the kitchen, nor sit on
the wood box, nor poke the hired girl un-
der the chin.
Do not make facss at tae head of the
family whilst he is saving grace.
II the old man kicks yon ont of the front
door do not construe his action as gentle
hint that you ale not wanted. Ii may only
be cropping out of natural eccentricity.
III the old lady tickles yonr head with
the mop stick, anger not. Remember to
stick is human, to forgive divine.

The Head and the Heart.

In order that the human faculties may
work with the greatest energy and harmo-
ny, the heart must be in the head, and the
head in the heart. Never does the mind
operate 80 powerfully, and with such truth
and beauty of result, as when the faculty
of cognition eo-works with the faculty of
feeling. If these faculties become one and
indivisible in action, the result ia not
merely truth, but living truth-tsuth
fused and glowing with all the feeling of
the heart, and feeling mingled with, and
made substantially bys all the truth Of the
head. The light is heat, and heat is light.
