The present difficulty of Governor
Plaisted with the Republican Coun-
Gil of Maine is more interesting than
usual. For the FIRST time in the his
tory of the State there was no annual
election during the past year, and on
account thereof certain vacancies oc-
Cured in county Offices, which the
Governor fills up by appointment un-
til the regular election next fall. In
pursuance of this power Governor
Plalsted has seen fit to nominate
Greenbackers or Democrats for these
places, whom the Council refuse to
confirm, simply on the ground that a
certain number of the names sent in
should be Republicans to be selected
by them. In striking contrast with
this proposed Republican programme
is the course of the Democratic United
States Senate from March, 1879, to
March 1881. During this period no
nominations sent in by Hayes, the re-
ceiver of the stolen Presidential office
were rejected, because they were Re
nublicans and NO Damocrats wara on
pointed The fact was recognized
that Hayes would appoint, from JUS
tees of the Supreme Court down, only
Republicans, and the Decorate Sen.

their politics. The difference between
the two parties is so striking that be-
yond the statement of the fact, mo com

JOHN W. BooKwALTER, late Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, in an
interview, says the talk about dissen-
sions in the Democratic party of Ohio,
growing out of the late campaign in
the State, is all nonsense. He says
that the dlssensions that the Repub-
lican newspapers affect to see are i'm
aginary, and that for himself he has
no fault to find with the campaign or
its issue, and has mo recrimination
to make. 'There were," he says,
"features In the campaign that might
have been avoided, and that would
have strengthened our canvass, but 1t
matters not who might have been the
Democratic nominee Or how our can.
vass was conducted. We could not
struggle against public sentiment and
sympathy, as we could not make a
fight against dead President" Mr..
Bookwalter says further that while he
will probably never be candidate for
any Office, he is proud of his member
ship IN the Democratic party and will
never loose interest in the success of
its principles.

HERE is something from an ex-
change on the subject of the tariff
which working people will do well to
consider: 'In England man can
buy pair of pantaloons for a dollar
which could not be purchased in this
country for less than $l.75 or So. A
first.class ulster can be bought any
where in the United Kingdom for SIS
or $40, which would cest not less than
$40 in our country. The protective
tariff-that beautiful device-is the
cause Of this discrepancy, and the bur
den of that tariff, in the matter o1
wearing apparel especially, all heav-
lest on people of small means.

The Democrats in the New York
Legislature will make most serious
mistake if they stoop to any compro.

The New York Sun in speaking of

that "Keiffer followed the law of his

The measures of the lobby were
strangled as fast as they appeared an d
before Mr.. Randall had been at the

The Literary "RebelliOn."

Mr.. John B. Alden, who organized
the Literary Revolution" which has
given the people the best of books at
such wonderfully low prices, does not
give up the fight with the failure of
''rhe American Book Exchange" "
which failure, he claims, was in no re-
spect the result of selling books too
cheaply, but was caused by the combi.
nation of publishers and book sellers
against the enterprise; infamous and
baseless SANDER being scattered broad
cast eliminated in panic among the
creditors of the institution, causing a
run which resulted in the failure of
the company just as it has often
caused the failure of banks or other
institutions perfectly solvent under
ordinary conditions. He and other
friends of the enterprise have organ
lied She Useful knowledge Publish
ing Company and literary rebellion
which proposes to carry on the fight.
The first book published by the new
company is beautiful edition of
Macaulay's Life of Frederick the
Great, which they sell for the mar
vellously low price of 20 cenrs, neatly
bound in cloth. The company pro-
poses to begin Immediately the publ
cation Of a series Of cyclopaedias-one
of history, one of biography, one Of
science and one of choice prose litera-
ture, one of poetry and of religious
literature-eacho of which cyclopaedias
will be in several large octave volumes
of over l 900 pages each, at the price
of $l.25 per volume, in cloth binding
and will also be published in numbers,
at two cents per number, being con-
siderably below the revolution prices.
They will send specimen pages and
catalogue free, and friends of choice
literature at low prices will be sure to
shower them with postal cards, at
least. Address The Useful Knowl-

A MEMBER of the House Judiciary
Committee proposes that Congress
shall deny to Utah the right of being
represented in the House of Repre-
sentatives by a delegate until the Nor
mons of Utah abandon the practice OF
polygamy. This is we'll enough as far
as it goes. but if this is all that is
done to suppress polygamy in that
territory it will amount to just moth
ing at all. The Mormons will care
very little about it.

Mr.. JAS. II. BEATTY, the assistant
district attorney for Utah, has pub
lished letter on the Mormon quos-
ton, in which he suggests the follow
ing remedies: l. That the living in
and practice of polygamy, as we'll as
the marrying into it, should constitute
the offense of bigamy. 2. That the
present statute of limitations as to the
commission of the crime should be
repealed. 3. That any wife or wom-
an, regardless of her relations to the
man charged with bigamy, should be
made competent witness. A. That
a quasi-dlvorce law should be
established, by which the polygamous
wife may apply to the courts for such
portion of the husbands property as
she and her children would bear to
the whole number of his wives and
children. 5. That every man who
has ever lived or believed in, or ad-
vocated polygamy, and has not re-
pented of tbs same, shall be disfran-
chised from either voting or holding
Office. Mr.. Beatty thinks that these
remedies, if put into the form of law
and then thoroughly applied, would
be sufficient to exterminate the vice in
a comparatively brief period

The farmers are beginning to dis
cuss the monopoly business in this
country, and It'll about time that they
were looking after their own welfare.
A thorough knowledge of the protec-
tive tariff system would open their

them of their earnings. They should
try to ascertain why they are COM
PEELED to pay tax to monopolists in

There is discrepancy of a thousand

name of the party who signed the
