SPEAKING OF Gen. Plaisteds address at
the Maranocook temperance meeting the
Bangor Commercial says: ''No one can ps.
ruse this brief but beautiful tribute of the
Governor to the cause of prohibition and
total abstinence, without being strongly i'm
pressed with the air of profound sincerity
and honest conviction which pervades it
throughout. If this is the result of its peru
sal in the cold and unsympathetic type, how
much more impressive must have been its
effect upon those who were permitted to
listen to it as the sentences fell, warm and
glowing, from the lips of the speaker"
Wonder if anybody in the Commercial office
smiled when this paragraph was produced?

A MEMBER of President Garfield's cabinet
does not favor permanent tenure of office
in the civil service, and one reason he gives
is that it would lead to a civil pension list.
He would prefer fixed tenure of office-say
for four years. No two persons seem to
agree as to the proper way to reform the
civil service.

A LONG list of "Faith'' cures was re-
ported at Old Orchard campmeeting Mon
day, some of which are certainly very re-
markable and difficult to credit, spite of the
evident sincerity of the persons who related
them. 1t is hard to believe for instance that
cancer has been instantaneously cured by
pra er as one woman asserted, especially as
it required a fortnight to cure case of gen.
eral paralysis.

The anti-polygamy plank of the platform
adopted by the Iowa Republicans was in
serted through the influence of some 10000
anti-polygamy Mormons who abide in the
southwestern part of that State. They hold
the original tenets of the Mormon Church,
but are strongly opposed to the favorite in
stitution of the church as it is conducted at
Salt Lake.

DURING the last ten years there has been
great falling off in the circulation of books
from the great libraries of the country. The
circulation of the Mercantile Library in
New York has fallen off in ten years forty
six per cent, and other libraries show a
large decrease. One of the causes is un-
doubtedly the large reduction in the price of
books, but there are others which it is not
easy to ascertain.

TIE Hartford Post thinks the Democratic
party will never put itself in the way of de-

to make platform upon which candidate
can stand without stopping to explain how
he is able to keep from falling off.

Albany Journal: The Philadelphia

tersely disposed of. A salary is some
thing which the Democratic party hasn't
been drawing since 1860.

Therefore, in saying that portion Of the
