Ourths of the county officers, more than twothirds

the failure to regain the fourth aud fifth congress
siona districts. We succeeded In reducing the
majority in each case to about one-thlrl Of the
| fusion majority of Two years ago, but the demo.
cratic alarm over tho result in Vermont caused the

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. IA dispatch from

stands: Davis, 80; Plaistod, "a Last year
Davis had 80; fusion, 81. 1t is found that IN
compiling last years vote 80 of the scat.

evidently the missing 50 alluded to in tho last
bulletin, and we may hayc it. all in the present
returns. If so, this gain Of 2B would overcome

ten locomotives could haul. Coming
it Is a heavy expense and guarding it
is a great expense. Sixty.five mil.
lion dollars Of the peoples money
have been used as the purchase price,
which money might otherwise have
been used to cancel interest bearing
cebt. The purchase of that silver
was OF no use to any citizen except
the few owners of the great bonan-
zas. 1t has already afforded them a
market for over sixty millions of
their bullion. A few figures will show
they could well afford to pay to over
half the members of Congress $4,000
each for such a market. As the law
is Of no use to anybody else,a burden
to the administration and to the PEG
pie, it is reasonable to assume that
the bonanza Kings secured its pas
sage. 1t is simply law compelling
the Government to furnish a market
to the extent of $o4, 100000 to S4s,-
5000 a year for fer very wealthy
men. A law compelling the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to buy two to
four million dollars worth of hogs or
cattle and keep them penne1 up in
Washington, would be a better law
for it would improve the market for
thousands Of times as many produc-
ers. And if the thousands Of produc-
ers could with facility "chip in"
enough to pay lS6 Congressman from
one to five thousand apiece, a law
to buy up and keep that value in hogs
and cattle in Washington could as
reasonably be passed as the law to
bay up and keep that many silver
dollars there. And Mr.. Hazelton was
an active worker on the side that
could well afford to pay for the pas.
sage of this law. He was also an ac-
tive worker in perpetuating the close
relationship between pension appli.
cants and Congressman. We do as
sail Mr.. Hazelton's Congressional
record but as he is dominated by the
Republicans we 90 not care to 90
further with the subject unless bis
organ tenders bring more grists to
our mill. By hard work. by expen,
ditures of time and money, receiving
vengeful arrows of 1iS opponents
and enemies, that were rarely pointed
at any editorial head but ours, we
succeeded two years ago in giving
aim pitiful majority that secured
his certificate of election and two
years in Congress. For that and for
similar work for ring.men of hia on
the county ticket we have from the
word ego" been snubbed, sighted
and slandered. If these injuries are
to be followed by insults from his
organs or his friends we can eight

Bull Fighting IN New York.

A most dismal farce was enacted
in this city recently in the form OF an
attempted bull. fighting, the partici.
pants being nine Texan steers from
the stock-yards, and eight Spanish
toreros, arrived in gorgeously colored
costumes. 1t took place in a spec
tally constructed amphitheatrs at
Seventh Avenue and One Hundred
and Sixteenth Street. About thirty
five hundred spectators were present,
including MIR. Henry Bergh and
eighty officers, who came tor the
purpose of preventing any torturing
OF the animals. For several hours
the sport proceeded, the Spanisrds
sticking rosettes on the steers with
macllage, and trying their best to
scare then into activity by shaking
c.oaks into their faces and shouting
at them. But the beasts showed no
inclination to shed CAstilian blood,
nor, IN truth, could they have done
so, Ter their horns were tipped with
balls OF leather that rendered them
perfectly harmless. Al last the sheriff
came and pocketed all the box office
receipts, 10 satisfy the claims of

tormanee came to an end II viii
