There are two significant lessons
TAUGHT by the result in Maine.
The first is of the growing powor of
corruption in popular elections. There
.an be no doubt that the revolt aoainst
Republican rule in Maine was deep and
strong. This was evidenced, not alone
by the victory of the opposition two
years ago. nor by the Republican ex-
pressions of fear for the result at the
election which has Just taken place. IL
was shown emphatically by the ..Inde-
pendent" movement, so called, which
was inaugurated two weeks before cleo
ton, when it was too late to make such
n movement effective. This movement
embraced in its promoters some of the
best-known Republicans in the State.
men who had been foremost in the
party councils and fully cognizant. of
the party history. The condemnation
which these men visited through their
organ upon the Republican candidates.
upon the measures for which the party
in the State had made itself RESPONSE
BILE, and above all on James G. Blaine.
the corrupt political leader, was scath-
ing in its severity. IL was as compre-
hensive and as sharp as any Indictment
which the Democracy ever brought
against Republican SIN in Maine, and it
had all the force of testimony from the
inside from witnesses who would glad
ly have kept silence if they could have
done so. Such an opposition as this
could not but represent widespread
and deep-seated disaffect:on, which
should have resulted in the defeat
which the. Republican leaders every-
where outside of Maine feared and
which those in Maine expected until
within a few days of election.
Yet within those few days, by the
shrewd and lavish use of money, defeat
was turned into victory. During the
week preceding election thousands of
dollars were sent to the State, presume
bly, from the Hubbell corruption fund
The discontinued were appeased and
the corrupt purchased, and Republican,
ism records the result as triumph. -
So it is triumph. But it is triumph
of corruption. 1t is not pleasing re-
Election that the verdict of the people
can be influenced by money; but the
evidence that it was so influenced in
Maine is too clear to be ignored. Hard
as the lesson is, it must be learned.
The other lesson of the Maine cleo
ton is that Blaine still lives. 1t has
been customary of late to speak of him
as politically dead-to regard him as
overtaken by the retribution which
he so richly deserved. 1t was mis-
take. The Republican leaders, who
have been making up states without
any Blaine on them, will have to revise
their work. The man who has been in
strumental in snatching Maine from the
very jaws of defeat-nO matter by what
corrupt methods-and saving it to the
Republicans, cannot be ignored in Re-
publican councils. Mr. Blaine, of Maine,
still lives, and if he continues to live he
will be heard from in the Republican
Convention of 1884. Detroit Free Press.

The Power Of Figures.

1t is stated that the cost of shooting a
horse with eight nails to each shoe. COM
mencing at one cent for the first ma
and doubling the amount of each sue
cessive nail, amounts in the total to
forty-two million, nine hundred and
forty-nine thousand, six hundred and
seventy-two dollars and ninety-five
cents. This is altogether. too much
money for shoeing horse, though no
doubt the blacksm tn might be prevailed
upon TO throw off the odd ninety-fv
cents A cheaper plan would be to pay
him one cent for the first nail, and then
take the horse home, and return him
next day and begin over again. COM

would consume thirty-two days in the
