Ccratic source that the Democratic commit
tee in session at Lewiston Thursday night
decided that it is inexpedient to fuse, even
on Governor, and the Democratic State
Committee has asked Plaisted to resign, and
he has agreed to do so. The committee ad-
journed to meet in Portland ON Thursday of
this week, at which time call will be issued
for regular State Convention, which will
be followed by District and County Conven-
tions. Solon fought Fusion and the Green
hackers are divided. A leading Democrat
put this question: ''What are we to gain if
we should succeed in electing Plaisted for
Governor and Fogg for Congress. Plaisted
is only sore-headed Republican, and would
go back to the Republicans if they would
promise to take him up two years hence,
and Fogg would kill any party that
elected him. There is just chance that
Hancock may be President. That means
post offices, custom house berths, mail agen-
cies, and a pile of plunder. We've got to
have Democratic party in Maine in such a
case to lay hold of those things'

GENERAL GARFIELD is described as hav-
ing shown during his war experience great
regard for the rights of slaves. The Cleve-
land Herald relates that one day at MUIR
freesboro an old colored woman came to the
Generals tent and complained of having
been cruelty beaten by her master, a man
named Carney, simply because her two sons
had been hired as servants by two Union
captains; the heartless rebel abusing her on
the ground that she had urged her sons to
take this work. Carney was summoned,
and in his presence the woman told her en-
tire story, in the course of which she said
that Colonel Burke (now General) had been
near by when the whipping had been DONE
So indignant was the General at both Car
ney and Burke that he came near depriving
the latter of his straps, and to the former
said among other things expressive of his
wrath: ''You rascal, you ought to have
your ears cut off for this cussedness."

Our Commercial interests.

The Treasury Department, in its esti-
mates for the Marine Hospital service for
the fiscal year just begun, has made provis-
ion for the accommodation of 25,OOO sick
and disabled seamen. an increase of 25 per
cent. over the year just closed. This indi-
Gates that our commerce has shared in the
renewed prosperity of the country, but not
to such an extent as is desirable or possible.
The painful fact remains that by far the
larger part of the carrying trade from the
United States is done by foreign capital in
foreign ships, while the importqtions by
American vessels remain at a minimum.
The latter condition is illustrated by the
statement that although our commerce with
Naples is quite considerable, an American
flag is a rare sight there, and in 1879 only
four American vessels took freight at that
port.
The condition of American commerce has
been favorite topic of discussion for fif-
teen years. The records of Congress abound
in commercial speeches; statesmen have
repeated the subject in open letters to the
country; the document room of the capitol
contains huge mass of testimony from ex-
perts, and, with the experience of the past
ten years, but more particularly of the last
five, added, we ought to have information
enough OF the cause of the decline and the
repression OF this element of prosperity to
treat the subject promptly and effectively.
Meantime the government continues to pro-
vide means of safety and protection for for
eign as well as American shipping. Our splen-
did coast survey ssssicahss not been suffered
to decline, our lighthouse system is perhaps
equal to any in the world, and the last Con-
Sress appropriated $9,000,OOO for the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors. None of
of these advantages have been restricted to-

Benjamin Brandreth.
New York Times, Fec. 10.

Benjamin Btandrelh. the proprietor
of Brandreth's pills, died suddenly at
his residence in Sing Sing Yesterday
Of apoplexy.
Mr.. Brandreth was born in England,
where his father and grandfather be-
fore him had been engaged in the pill
business in a limited way. Benjamin
was the first in the family to conceive
the idea of charging the business by
the free use of printers ink. In 1885
Benjamin came to this country, ard
began manufacturing and advertising
on a scale that Immediately attra cted
attention. He contracted a friendship
with Jam es Gordon Bennett, who was
then establishing the Herald, in the col
umns of which sheet Brandreth's car
thartic pills speedily grew into notorie
ty. At that time column of adver-
Using could be had at the price of
single square at the present day. From
1910 to 1856 the pills rapidly rose in
favor. great quantities being shipped
to the West and South. A large trade
was also built up with South America
and foreign countries. In the years
Immediately preceding the war Bran
dreth's bills for advertising reached as
high as 100000 and $40 coo year. The
English branch of the house, conducted
by one of the sons, expended as high as
$4,000 annually for the same purpose
Brandreth's success brought host of
competitors into the business, some of
whom in the end made larger fortunes
than himself. Since the war, the firm
largely decreased their advertising, and
depended on the steady demand which
their former effort had created. Bran
dreth's first store was III Spruce street,
where he remained for ten years, NOV
ing in 1916 to Hudson street, and
from there to the present location at
the corner of Canal street and Broad
way, in 1852. Mr.. Brandreth was twice
elected to the State Senate and his
eldest son, the Hon. George A. Bran
dreth, has served four terms in the As
sembly. OF his fourteen children,
thirteen are still living. Mr.. Brandfeth
married in England before coming to
this country. His wife was Miss
Graham. In private life he was amia-
BILE, sociable, and despised show and
ostentation OF all kinds. He was fire.
quently asked to contribute sketches Of
his life to advertising agents and writ

ably refused. He was a vestryman
and leading member Of one Of the Epis-

$500 ,000 to $1,0O0,000,

surplus on hand will be got out of til

There are at least 10000 loaded coal
cars Standing on the track now, and
perhaps $4,000. 1t was impossible for
the carrying companies to find dump.
lng-place or to secure sale for any part
OF 1t, and it was, therefore, impossible
for them to furnish cars to workers,
even if there had been any orders to
fill. Besides the amount standing in
cars, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
& Iron company has not less than 158,-
21S tons on the wharf at Port Rich
mond, and of this. 60,554 tons were
stove coal. The Lehign Valley COM
pany has quite as much at Perth Am

prepared coal, and, do what they could,
1t was impossible to find a storing place
for the amount that they had to
get out in order to give the necessary
amount of larger sizes to accommodate
the furnaces. The movement was
started by the Reading company, and
all other interests have agreed, individ-
ual operators in the Lenigh region hav-
ing come into the agreement for the
first time in over two years. There was
no com pact, only an agreement by all
interestered. The first result has been
an advance by the Delaware & Hudson.
Although coal had been selling in New
York at from ID to so cents below the
last circular price, the new rates are %
cents higher. The Reading Coal &
Iron company has just issued a new
circular advancing prices at Port
Richmond from 10 TO 25 cents, and re-
ducing the prices to Elizabethport about
in the same proportion.

1T is IT lated of Carolan, the Irish bard. tina
hen deprived OF sight, and after lapse OF TWEEN,
years, he recognized his first love by the touch
her hand
"True love can meier forget;
FOndly as when we met,
Dearest love thee yet,
My darling one!'
Thus sang minstrel gray
His sweet impassioned lay,
Down by the Ocean spray,
AT set of sun
But wither'd was the minstrels sight,
Morn TO him was dark a. night,
Pet his heart was fnll OF light,
AS thus the lay begun;
''True love can meier forget:
Fondy as when we met,
Dearest i love thee yet,
My darling 0nel"
Long years are past aud DER
Since from this fatal shore,
Cold hearts and cold winds bore
My love from me-"
Scarcely the minstrel spoke,
When forth with flashing stroke,
A boats light oar the silence broke,
Over the sea.

Doth lovely lady land.
While the minstrel's love taught hand
Did DER MS wild harp run;
True love can ne'eI forget;
FonGly as when we met.
Dearest | love thee yet,
My darling one!'
Where the minstrel sat alone,
There that lady fair had gone,
Within his hand she placed her OVID,
The bard dropped on his knee;
From his lips soft blessings came,
He Iii, sed her hand with truest flame,
In trembling tones he named-her name
Though her he could not see;
But oh the touch the bard could tell
OF that dear haud remember'd well;
All by many a secret spell
Can true 1--we trace his own;
For true owe ne'er forget;
Fondly as when they met,
He loved his lady yet,
