Judge Mercer, of Pennsylvania, told
Judge Jeremiah Black that he ought to
be Republican, whereupon the latter
replied, eff there was no hereafter I
would join the Republican party at once.
Nothing deters me but the fear of hell"
This is an excellent picture of the Re-
publican party in this country, Judge
Black does not describe the party, but
simply gives by implication the result of
belonging to such party, and leaves the
reader to infer its characteristics. 1t is
the party of fraud, corruption and pillage.

Although the wheat crop has the rust
so badly in this part of the country, it is
some consolation to know that it is not
general. The crop in Europe this year
will be splendid one, and the crop all
over the United States is put down as
simply immense. Under this state of
things the cheapest food ever known is
predicted for next September, and the
months following.

a CURIOUS EXPERIMENT IN OLEo.
MARGARINE.--A curious experiment
upon a large scale was made in this
vicinity with the oleomargarine, and the
event proved that in this instance. at
least, it was not what its advocates de-
clared it to be-a wholesome and proper
substitute for butter. 1t was placed,
without remarks, upon the table of the

less was asked for, until finally the blind

what the Sherman papers say of Blaine,
and the Blaine papers say of Grant, and

q The House of Representatives Com
mittee on Currency aud Banking have
reported in favor of the repeal of the
statute requiring two-cent stamp upon
all bank checks. The stamp, they say,
is one of the few vestiges remaining of
the "war taxes" and is obstructive to
business. The stamp, besides, discrimi-
mates unfairly; man can deposit money
without charge, but to draw it out mus:
pay this tax, under heavy penalties for
violating the law.

The Southern Baptist Convention as
sembled at the First Baptist Church.

following officers: President, Rev. DR..
Nell, of Georgia; Vice. Presidents, Gov
ernor Brown, of Georgia, DR.. Winkler,

six hundred delegates, besides a great
number of visitors. Devotional exer-
cises, led by DR.. John A. Broaddus,

counting the ballots. In the afternoon
session the annual report of the board OF
foreign missions was presented by the
Secretary, DR.. Tupper, and the annual
report of the home mission board by DIR.
Mcintosh.
The foreign mission report notices first
the death of DR.. Jcter in appropriate
terms. 1t mentions the departure of sew
eral missionaries during the year for
stations in the heather lands and in
southern Europe. 1t gives full account
of the work done in China, Africa, South
America and Italy, showing the stations
all to be in prosperous condition. The
sum of $4,000 is represented as obtained
and disbursed in this work.
The home mission report also is en-
couraging and hopeful in tone. 4 prom
ising mission + been among the Chinese
in California under the auspices of this
board, and the work among the Indians
has been faithfully prosecuted, as also
the work of assisting destitute communi-
ties in the older parts of the country:
Some $4,000 has been collected and
used, and the Indebtedness so long bur-
dening the board has been liguidatcd.
The various sections of these two reports
we're referred to appropriate committees.

CONCORD Monitor: When mans con-
victions do not accord with his party, the
proper course for him is to leave it, and not
to play the hypocrite by attempting to hold
''the Balance of power'' in its nominating
caucuses. If every man, moreover, were to
insist upon the nomination of his personal
preference as 'the best man to be elected"
no party could survive single campaign,
and the country would become the prey of
factions. In a country where the majority
controls only average men will be chosen as
a'rule to places of power, for the same rea-
son that stream cannot rise above it's
source. Again, the ''best men, are not nee
essarily those whose only qualification is
their integrity With patriots right ideas of
government, ability, apti. de, experience,
strength of character, as voll as integrity
and honesty of purpose, are demanded in
the men who are to administer the affairs of
State.

Two Conventions.

Two State Conventions soon to be held
will have much to do in determining the
choice of Presidential candidates. These
two are the Democratic convention in Penn
sylvania and the Republican convention in
Illinois. Despite the often-repeated assur-
ance that Senator Wallace controls the Penn
sylvania Democrats and will pledge them to
General Hancock the opinion is entertained
by well-informed politicians that the Con-
vention will be in Mr.. Tilden's hands and
its expressed preference will be that indi-
Gated by him. Should this opinion prove
correct, Mr.. Tilden will go to Cincinnati
with two great States at his back and in con-
choose to take the nomination himself. 1t
is surmised that Speaker Randall is his IA
vorite. That able politician is an excellent
man to defeat, and his candidacy will not
worry the Republicans.
Should Illinois send solid delegation in
Gen. Grants interest to Chicago the chances
of his nomination would be greatly inn
proved. If his friends succeed in enforcing
the unit rule in New York and Pennsylva-
MIA, the votes of the three States will be ex-
ceedingly difficult to overcome. But it is
extremely doubtful if he can command the
united delegations from the two great
Middle States. Senator Blaine is the choice
of large minority of the delegates, and it is
altogether probable that he will receive their
suffrages on the very first ballot. 1t is GER
tain that if that ballot does not result in
Gen. Grants nomination the delegations
will divide, and thus probably send the
Maine Senator to the front on the second
trial. The chances of his nomination are
steadily improving as it becomes more evil
dent day by day that he is the choice of the
masses Of the party.
All speculation however is now ur certain.
The action of the two conventions will
afford a basis for prophecy that does not
exist now. That action will be awaited
with intense interest.

take solid comfort in reading the Belfast
Journal this week; for he will find therein
the following quotation and comment:
Among the numerous caravan of people who
enuH both profit and honor in the Blaine boom is
one Coombs, of Lewiston, who processes to be a
caricaturist. Blaine, SO it is said. has made ar
rangements for the publication of pictorial cam
paign paper at Augusta, in case he is nominated,
and Coombs is engaged to furnish designs for carca
lures, for which he is, presume, to be well paid
in cash in the first instance, and then an appoint
ment to some fat place. in the doubtful event of the
"plumed knights election to the Presidency
Portland Argus. G
We hope the above may prove true. If
there was ever a series of subjects on which the
pencil of the caricaturist could feed to fatness,
it can be found in the exploits of those who
took part in the Fusion attempt to get posses
sion of the State government last winter.
Let the reader pass them in review before
his minds eye-from Bombastes Furioso
Smith, who called himself Governor with
his year old message still hanging fire down to
the infinit esimal Wilder Washington Perry.
Let him draw the demented and bewildered
Garcelon, who had bitten off SO much more
than he could chew; the maudlin Attorney
General, with his enormous hotel bills and his
boasts of "stiffening up Garcelon"; the long
Black, with his blood-thirsty state-prison birds
concealed in the State House; the fugacious
Sawyer in custody while bearing back the
stolen State seal; Garcelon, virtually by the
same compulsion, restoring distracted funds to
the state treasury, and then looking through
his Council for "the Judas" By all that ever
made folly and failure laughable, or defeated
consplrators ridiculous, we charge you, Coombs,
neglect not this opportunity. The history of
Fusion in Maine for the past six months would
beat the text of Don Quixote. Illustrated it
would tickle the very ribs of death.

The Montezumans
Still Holding Their Faith in the Sacred
Fire OF the Pueblos.
[St. Louis Democrat

The Pueblos claim that their Montezuma
was born through the Immaculate conception
OF an Indian maiden of their own tribe in the
village of Pecos, about IS miles distant from
this city. While youth he did not exhibit
any extraordinary qualities, but upon reach
ing manhood's estate showed himself to be
great hunter and possessed of supern 'tural
powers After dwelling with the tribe for a
long period and performing many miraculous
deeds, he departed, going southwark. On the
eve of his journey he is reported to have
lighted sacred fire, which he told his people
to keep burning until his return. Although
this was long centuries ago, itis said the Indi-
ans have scrupulously observed the. injunction
and have never allowed the fire to die out.
They have continuously, through successive
generations, kept the slumbering embers glow
ing. At least this is their story, and it is
largely believed, especially by those who have
seen the ire glimmering in their old adobe
