Committing an Old Blunder.
The Democrats of Maine have been honest
enough to avow their principles and name the
issue for the fall campaign, which on the part
of the Democracy, is to be a tariff for revenue
only" The Maine Democrats are true Bour-
bons, and never learn anything, They ought
to know, but they don't, that this doctrine lost
them the Presidency in 1880, and it will lose
them the contests of next November, solely be-
cause it is fraud. 1t means an opening wedge
for free trade. aud this the American people
will never promote. Our present tariff, when
iudiciously revised by the Tariff Commission,
will be the embodiment of the American sys-
TEN, as intended by Clay and Carey and their
contempory statesmen and economists. 1t has
become by sheer excellence and manifest WIS
dom part of our unwritten organic law, and
has won the respect of the people. They VIII
never allow mere partisan behests to negative
the great principles of protection to American
industry and the light and diversified customs
taxes On articles mainly rated as luxuries. The
issue is made up early in the campaign, and
the people have timely warning. OF the
scheme of the Democracy to assail the tariff
They will accept the gage OF battle without
fear of the result, and the Republican party
will win most signal triumphs in this issue
wherever it is raised.

The Bridal March. By Bjorn Biornson.
Translated by Rasmus B. Anderson. (Boston:
Houghton & Mifflin; Portland: Loring, Short
& Harmony The story which gives its name
to the volume is worthy of Hans Andersen.
The strange Morse flavor, THE simplicity and
berserker strength of the peasant OF Norway
are transferred to these stories-which lose
nothing, it would seem, in Prof. Anderson's
Iited translation. OF the shorter sketches
in the volume, that of Blakken the horse is
wonderful for fiery force. 1t reads like some
Saga; or Blakken might have been brother to
the warhorse described by Job.

The Prophets of Israel. By W. Robertson
Smith, LID. (New York; D. Appleton: Port
land: Hoyt, Fogg & Donham). The place in
history occupied by the Israelitish prophets up
to the time of the deliverance of the Jews from
the rule of Assyria, formed the subject Of
eight scholarly and able lectures delivered in
Edinburgh and Glasgow by Prof. Robertson
Smith. They are sound and direct in style,
and keep pace with the modern knowledge of
Assyrian and Egyptian records taken from
tablets and papyri. The volume is somewhat
amplifed from the lectures as originally given.

Edition of Mr.. Harte's inimitable stories at

to have that pleasure in store for the future.

THE Missouri Republican deprecates the
delay of Congress in making the appropria-

Demosthenes. By s. 81. Butcher, M. A.
(New York: d. Appleton & Co.; Portland:
Hoyt, Fogg & Dunham). A new volume ofthe
Classical Writers Series, edited by Mr.. John
Richard Green, the historian. 1t opens with a
sketch of the times in which Demosthenes
fourished; then follow chapters dividing his
public life and speeches into four periods COW
ering the years from the rise of Macedon in
34S B. c. to Demosthenes' death, 322 B. G.. A
chapter upon his private speeches, an estimate
of him as statesman and orator, and tabula-
tion of his works close the volume.

Ants, Bees and Wasps. By Sir John Lub-
book (New York: d. Appleton & Co.; Port
land: Hoyt Fogg & Donham). This volume
of the International Scientific Series contains
some very patient and minute investigations
into the habits, intelligence and powers of these
three classes of insects. To specialists, these
observations will be of the greatest value and
interest, and the general reader will admire
the careful research of the naturalist and will
share, in some degree, his enthusiasm for the
curious little peoples of hill and hive.

Two Days. By W: Newport. New York:

fourteen years. 1t is not at all a book for chill
dren-but will entertain their elders somewhat
as the miniature opera tronpes do, with their

Economv in Naval Construction.

ECONOMY ID NAVAL SOuStl uSuiOh'
The Argus again takes occasion to attack
ex-Secretary Robson for the alleged extray-
agant administration of the Navy Depart
ment while he was at its head. We intend
claim that it compares favorably with the
Democratic administrations which preceded
it. The ex-Secretary recently made speech
in the House in which he conclusively prov
ed this claim. 1t appears that while he was
at the head of the Department, from 1869 to
1877, the sum of all the appropriations for
the bureau of construction and repair, the
building bureau of the Department, was
$31, 726, 900. This included about $1,000,
600 applied to the construction of the steam
engines and boilers of the eight new sloops,
30 that in round numbers and including all
the extraordinary expenditures made neces-
sary by the excitement of the threatened
war with Spain at the time of the Virginius
massacre and subsequently, the actual APP
preparation of this bureau of construction
during his administration was less than $751;
100000. During the eight years immediate
ly preceding the war, from 1858 to 1861, I'M
der the Democratic administrations of Pierce
and Buchanan, while Mr.. Dobbin and Mr..
Toncey, respectively, were Secretaries of the
Navy, when steam-vessels of war were little
known and and our Navy contained only
few side-wheel steamers and one or two
ships with auxiliary steam-power: when the
bulk of our force was made up of sailing
ships with no engines, no machinery, and
comparatively no expenditure for the fuel,
officers, and employees required for the use,
repair. and renewal for the same; when the
military roster was far smaller than at pre-
sent, and the civil list scarcely half as great,
the sum of the appropriations for the bureau
of construction and repair alone were
S33 500, 900, or at least $2,500,000 more
than was spent by that bureau during Robe
sons whole administration; and that, while
the Navy and the Country were under the
economical control of Democratic policy.
What has the Argus to say to this exhibit
ton of Democratic "economy?'

Bv Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. (Boston:

volume of the last songs of the poet not less
dear than great who has so lately left us.
These poems arc at once comfort and marvel.
So men might have felt, in the old days when
sails were set with good hope OF reaching the
golden islands in the western ocean; wheu al
ter their eyes had followed ship with longing
and sadness and had seen it slip down the
curve of the world and so out OF their slght-
SO might they have felt il sudden mirage nad
set in the air semblance of the ship, shin
ing wonder sent to assure their failing hearts
that it faced still toward the fortunate islands.
These poems are notably strong, full Of vital
ity and imagination; in the very verses III
which the poet lameuts his youth and Its Vlgor
as he looks back over the length OF his years.
his voice rings with all its beauty of old. For
hm, years made little difference; he possessed
an immortal freshness of spirit; the divine
dew of the fountain-head of song never dried
upon the laurel leaves that crowned him.
The volume, apart from the sadness that
must attend it, is an inv igorating and cheering
one. Some of the poems contained in it have
appeared in magazines, others have been Sc
lected from among papers left by Mr.. Longfel-
low. There are SONGS, sonnets, translations
and fragment of poem upon the Children
Crusade. Among these poems the Poets Cal

verse and singularly fine decorative quality

ton and imagery at the very height OF poetic

The Nom In alton To. day

Judging from the number of persons
seen upoa the streets today and stand
ing around hotels, cigar stores and cor.
ners, it need not appear strange that a
person not knowing what was going on
would have thought that ths whole
city was out doors enjoying u holiday.
Last night was busy night with the
two candidates, and as it was found
that the hotels and saloons had to be
closed today on account of the school
election public sympathy for saloon
keepers was aroused, aud crowds gath
cred in many of them to drink what
they had laid in and which could not
be got to-day. All this forenoon Bsiliff
Brady came in for more than his share of
condemnation for heing instrumental in
closing up the liquor bars. Quite a
number of kegs of beer were put under
Democratic Jackets last night by the
friends of both the candidates. The gen.
eral sentiment is that Mr.. Carpenter
will be nominated over Mr.. Sharpley
by large majority. 1t is noticeable
that all the city and county officials are
working for Carpenters nomination,
it being necessary to have candidate
with "bar'P' or two to help him to
pull through in the face of SO popular =
candidate as DIR. Wales.
Col. Robert Taylor undoubtedly has
the inside track for the nomination for
President Of the City Council, though
Mr.. John II. Frazer has maLy friends
and will make a strong poll. Mr..
Guthrie has no opposition for City
Treasurer.

another salesman from Philadelphia,
had engaged Mr.. j III. Melvin, the pro

them around to the differeat stores in
the vicinity. When they we're crossing
the bridge at Ellis millpond. about six
miles from town, that structure sudden

borses and carriage into the water. MIR.
Melvin who was on the first sea i'm
mediately jumped on the bank, but Mr.
Crawford and his companion being on
the rear seat had no chance to escape.
Mr.. Crawford was thrown into the
water, injured In the back, with his arm
broken between the shoulders aud elbow
and would no doubt have been drowned
if his companion, who was but slightly
injured, had not pulled him out.
Neither of the horses were injured, and
the carriage sustained bnt lutte dam
age. The injured man was taken back
to the hotel, and DR. Hitch summoned
" hu reduced the fracture in his arm,
and dressed his wound, but is Of the
opinion that the bone il shattered 90
