as they do nothing more than com

at the primaries and county conven-

Sayein His Own Country.

The harshness of the maxim that
"Familiarty breeds contempt may be
mellowed by expressing the same
thought in the truism "a prophet
is not without honor, save in his own
country While the ideas conveyed
by the two expressions are not lden-
teal they do to a certain extent em
body the same principle.
The most thorough scholar, success
full business man or competent pro-
fessional man loses by constant inter
course with one people, much of the
credit due his intrinsic worth, Just as
the persistently familiar man becomes
olous; the difference in the degree
of loss of appreciation being but the
difference in the degree Of familiarity.
While the insolent and impudent gun
the instant and direct contempt OF
others, frequent and constant inter
course Of men one with another,
though it blinds many as to the faults
of others, yet at the same time duIIs
The appreciation Of real rare merit
and ability. This same idea is ex
pressed often unintentionalIy IN the
old saw "A new broom sweeps
olean,' for although it is doubtlessIy
intended to cover the point that an
attempt in new direction is made
with greatest vigor at the outset and
that constant repetition begets care
lescness, yet it is frequently made to
misinterpret things and it is not that
later endeavors have not the merit of
former ones, but that familiarity with
certain persons and their way Of do
NO things has made them to pail and
lose their brillancy while the merit
of such actions really yet remain. 1t
is the weakness Of human nature to
long for the strange and novel and to
tire of the customary and long exist
ing, that withhols and destroys a
Just appreciation Of the worthinoss OF
those "to the manner borne and rem
lers meritless acts and ideas Of the

While the Democracy Is hurrylng

evince no sort of interest in the mat

task, it being but an empty honor to

the case when we come to county Of

A Monument to Christopher Columbus.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Congressman Cox
has presented in the House a letter from the
secretary of state, enclosing communication
from Senior Don F. Lithgrow, minister of
fOrei ign affairs for the republic of Dominica
which states that his government is DESTROYS
of erecting monument to the memory of
Christopher Columbus, that the republic of
Dominica is financially unable to carry out
this movement alone, and, therefore, it has
been decided to invite the cooperation of the
governments of the United States, Austria,
Spain and Italy, each Of which is interested
IN the cOmmemoration of the achievements of
the great navigator, and that to this end a
contribution of $4,000 is solicited from each
of these powers, which, with the amount to be
appropriated by the republic of Dominica,
will give sufficient fund to erect monument
in the city of Santo Domingo, worthy of the
discoverer of America. The letter of Secretary
Evarts simply calls attention to the enclosure.

the best interests of the Republi-
can party or welfare of the State to go

THE PEMBROKE TRAGEDY

Young Longmore Convicted of Man
slaughter.
MACHIAs, Jan. 13.-The first witness for the
defence in the trial of young Longmore was
Mrs. Longmore, the prisoners mother, who
testified to the age and disposition of the pris-
oner
Mr. Longmore testified: When I first met
the prisoner after the accident he could not
speak from fright; ordered prisoners brother
to clean up the blood in the privy; he took a
spade to do SO; next saw the spade in the barn
on pile of chips; several people had their
hair cut in the barn; the hair was swept among
the chips upon which the spade lay; there was
no blood on the spade when Joe (the brother)
took it to clean the privy; when I learned of
the accident 1 took Warren and went to
Wrights to see Freeman.
Mrs. Davis testified similarly to last witness.
Always knew Warren: never heard anything
against him; when Joe took the spade there
was no blood on it; when he brought it back it
was covered with blood and dirt.
The defence closed without examining the
prisoner, considering him too young to under
go strict cross-examination, and because his
statement of the affair had been given by sew
eral others. Briefly, his story is that he sat in
the dining room, opposite the door, holding
gun, waiting to shoot cat out in the yard.
Freeman went from the window to the door
and stood there. The gun was half-coca ed.
The prisoner attempted to let down the ham,
mer and put the gun away. but in doing so the
hammer slipped and discharged the gun,
shooting him in the head. He carried the
body round to the privy to leave it there while
he ran for father. He told different stories at
the time because he was frightened and didn't
know what to say.
At II a. m. to-day Mr.. McNichol closed his
argument for the defence, and County Attor-
ney Rounds followed for the prosecution.
Judge Libbey, in his charge, instructed the
jury as to what constituted murder in tho diff
ferent degrees and said that sympathy for the
of his youth The jury must be governed by
the law and evidence. The power of fixing
the penalties or granting pardons did not rest
with the jury. The Court explained the testi-
mony in all important points very clearly. The
testimony of the physicians was that the gun
shot wounds would not cause immediate
death, if at all, but the wounds on the head in
hiCted by murderOus weapons caused the
death. The course Longmore pursued in
dragging the body after shot but before death
ensued was dwelt upon.
The prisoner seemed Indifferent all through
the trial and unconcerned when the verdict
was reported. The jury went out at half-past
| 3. They reported at o'clock verdict of
manslaughter. Sentence will be given to-
morrow morning.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

Mr.. Frye Withdraws from the Contest.
BOSTON, Jan. 13.-A Washington dispatch
to the Journal says: "Mr. Frye, for political
reasons, has withdrawn from the campaign for
Speakership of the House of Representatives,
that he could have been elected. Mr.. Frye
will be candidate for the SenatorshiD from
Maine to fill vacancy which there is the best
of reasons for stating will be created. Mr..
Frye has withdrawn from his Speakership
canvass at the advice of his friends, among
them Senator Blaine. The vacancy in the
United States Senate which Mr.. Frye expects
to fill, will undoubtedly be created before the
adjournment OF the Maine legislature, as it is
not supposed that the Republicans of the state
will permit Democratic Governor to appoint
a United States Senator to assist the Democra
cy in organizing the Senate after March 4. Mr..
Frye will prepare to push his claims for the
Senate This conclusion would seem to set at
rest all rumors that Mr. Blaine is not to have
a place in President Garfelds Cabinet"
