sIve years 1S79-'S1 inclusive averaged less tla'i
81, zoe, 900, while enormous sums OF money
were voted away to erect costly pubic Dulu-
ings for the benefit of Democratic members.
,ainst this discredtablc and dishonest pol
icy the country has Indignantly protested, ana
with good reason. But members OF Congress
have made a great mistake if they have In
ferred that wasteful or dishonest expenditure
would be approved. Probably no part OF the
work of the late session of Congress will meet
with more hearty and general approval than
the care of the majority to appropriate iuiy,
fairly and literally for all the legitimate ana
proper functions of government, and Tor
the service as defined by existing laws.
What the country needs is the exercise
of lust and intelligent discrimination III
criticlsing the expenditures authorized by Con-
gress. The Democratic policy has been based
upon the idea that the people will lack the
capacity to discriminate thus. On the other
hand. the reckless and dishonest approprla-
tons made for some objects by the last ses-
sion of Congress were apparently based upon
the idea that the people would lack, not the
capacity, but the disposition, to discriminate
Justly. If they wish to be served properly,
the people should show that they can dis
tinguish stinginess and demagOgism IRON
proper economy, and can punish wasteiulness
or robbery even when masked as a wise hber-

FRIGHT PROSPECTS ~ MAINE.

We have seen no reason to alter our opin-
ion, expressed several weeks ago. that the
Maine Republicans have an excellent prospect
of rcdeemng their State from Democratic
control this year. They have an admirable State
and Congressional ticket, and they are thor
ughlv harmonious. We are not surprised
therefore, TO hear that their preliminary can
vass OF the State assures the Republican man
ayers of ut least 6 900 plurality. This announce
mcnt is not made officially, but it is generally
believed to be authentic. The situation OF
the various parties is such as to make hand
some Republican plurality almost certain
On the one hand stand the Republicans. thor
oughly organized, determined aud united. On
the other hand are the TusIOnists, poorly or
ganized, weakened 10y discussions, ana opposed
not only 10y the Republicans but 10y separate
Greenback ticket headed by Scion Chase, the
father of the Greenback party. When We re-
member that the Fnsionists' plurality in 1850
was only $50 votes it is easy to see why the Re-
publicans should be sanguine OF victory.
The Republicans took the field early and
have made an unprecedcntcdly thorough organ
ization of the whole State, They have the
support of the ablest Of the Prohibition leaders,
and will poll almost the entire Prohibition
vote. They calculate, with good show OF rea-
son. upon about 10000 votes for their candi-
date, against $4,000 for the Fusion ticket
and about 1850 for Scion Chase. They are
also counting confidently upon an increased
majority in the Legislature, tins securing SEN
ator Frye's reelection, and upon gain of at
least one Congressman.
In addition to thorough organization and
harmony, the Republicans have decided adj
| vantage in the issues which they represent.
| They 20 before the people with candidate
for Governor whose name and record are guar
antees of a government of law and order.
Under Governors GarcelOn and Plalsted the
State has known no peace. Both men had no
higher conception of the duties Of their Office
than to perform them solely in the interests OF
the party. Governor PlaIsted has surpassed
Garcelon in his partsanship and has kept the
affairs of the State III constant turmoil. The
Democrats by renOmnating HIM ask the people
to sanction this style of administration. The
| Republicans ask them to put an end to IT and
restore the State to the peace and order Away
enioycd under Republican rule We do not
believe there Is any doubt about the answer
which will be given next month.

pTBLIC TXPENDTTTRES

The country has no sympathy whatever with
that notion OF government which opposes any
and every expenditure merely because it is an
expenditure. Conscious of its wealth, power
and dignity, knowing that it meets large eX
penscs without any perceptbe burden to la
Dor, the Nation is apt to regard with mex
pressible contempt any niggardly policy in
public affairs, by which useful and reason
able outlay is prevented merely because it in
wolves taking money from surplus already
large enough. But this feeling. which is en-
tirely natural and just, members of Congress
are prone to con ound with Indifference as to
the character of appropriations, or as to the
honesty of expenditures 1t is to be hoped
that such Indifference does not exist, and that
the people will show their Indignation when
ever public money is wastefully or fraudu-
lently appropriated stolen rich and
generous man, who likes to live well, to pay
liberal wages for good service, and to give
decent prices without haggling for things that
are worth the money, will feel u just and
honorable Indignation when be finds that he
is robbed by his servants If the American
people cannot feel and show that indignation,
they are not fit to have good servants.
The stingy policy i'll public affairs has been
pushed so far that the natural reaction tends
toward wasteful extravaganza. The country
has seen for years, under Democratic rule
pennies squeezed from the salaries of i'll paid
officials, in order that millions might be spent
in fixing things to elect Democrats to Con-
eress. 1t has seen the country disgraced, at
home and abroad, by mean penuriousness, or
dishonest refusal TO pay sums honestly and
lawfully due, i'll order that millions might be
thrown away in indecent and corrupt jobs.
1t il sheer impudeDce to pretend that Con-
gress under Democratic rule has been upright
or truly economical. Give Messrs. Randall,
Holman and others credit for all that they
have done or tried to do, and the fact still
remains that millions have been most dis
honestly voted and spent, even when there
was a great show of economy by means
of refusal to pay for necessary light
and fuel in public buildings, and for the
lawful salaries of public officials. Ii has been
a disgrace to the country, for example, that its
expenditure for Consular and Diplomatic ser
vice has been cut down to less than one
million in 1879 and 1850, though mainly
$4,000, 900 was voted in these two years for
river and harbOr improvements,n mainly
corrupt jobs. 1t has been a burning disgrace
that Indian wars have been caused by refusal
to vote money required by treaties with Indian
tribes so that the appropriations have twice been
less than 100000 and in the three success

AMERICAN POTTERTES.

The Tariff Commission made last week
thorough inspection of the potteries at Iren-
ton, New-Jersey, OF which there are twenty
five, whose output is said to be greater than
that of all other American potteries combined
The object of the manufacturers in INVITE
this inspection was to obtain a still higher
protective tariff than the present rate OF ~ per
cent on common ware and 90 per cent on deco
rated ware They claim that even the present
tariff has reduced the price of porcelain one
third below that Of twenty years ago. one OF
them made "a statement so amazing as to be
almost incredible, To the effect that the State OF
New-Jersey uses more porcelain ware than
Asia. Africa and South America combined.
The porcelain manufactured and used Iy tht
Chinese and 10y Jerseymen are OF snch dli1er-
ent qualities as scarcely to deserve the same
name. The wares turned out of these Trenton
potteries, however, are so admirable IN mate
rial and finish that they deserve hearty encour-
apcmcnt. The American keenncSs OF insight
and promptness of adaptation were never more
forcibly shown than in the work done by them
and by one or two potteries nearer Phlladel-
phia, in which the Palsy idea has been FOL
lowed with remarkable success. 1t was OF
of the South Kensington Museum, told sngges-
tive story on his return to England. party
of workmen from them visited the Exposition
in Philadelphia, and happened to fall in his
way. He went with them through several
exhibits of pottery being interested by their
quiet quick intelligence One vase OF ware
unknown to them he showed them, explaining
minutely the method Of handling the paste,
decoration, burning, etc. They asked few
pertincnt questions, examined it minutely, and
returned home. Three weeks later vase was
sent to him from them so careful an imitation
Of the original that he was startled. " under
stood them he said, for the first time, why
the Americans succeed"
The American potteries small as they now
are compared with their future possibilities,
already give employment to thousands of work
men and women, decorators, designers, etc, as
well a. those of lower grade, who would other
wise find no market for their skill or talent.

Moonlight's men surrounded the house and

they will say, in which the tenants let the land
lords know that rents must be kept down, and
il has been the custom for generations among
