Failure to Convict in a Po1ygamy Trial

The Connolly poiygamy trial was dismi ssed
Friday afternoon by the United States attorney.
He said the testimony differed so radically
from that before the grand jury that he was
astounded. Most glaring perjury had attend
ed evidence here given. He hoped God would
forgive him if he was wrong. Judge Zane
said to the jury:
regret to say I am of the opinion, and have
an abiding conviction to q moral certainty, that
the ends of justice have been defeated in this
case by false swearing. Hope never to see il
again in this court or my other. 1 have IN
idea that the counsel for the defendant are not
connected with it in any way. They would not
advise such a thing, but there are persons who
are not g%uiltless, in all human probability. In
view of the evidence the court instructs you
now to find a verdict of not guilty.

ELAIxEs OPINION ON TIE IRISH.

When Know Nothingism was ram
pant in 1875 Blaine was editing the
Kennebec Journal. Here is what he
then thought of the Irish: I'VE need
more stringent laws to regulate immig-
ration from Europe, and faithful ON
GERS to administer them. IF present
abuses are not corrected, and corrected
speedily, We shall become worse than
Botany Bay-in fact We are worse
now, for We have little doubt that
more criminals reach US from Great
Britain In single year than were ever
transported to the penal colonies in ten
years. And these convicts and felons
have hardly got our dust upon their
feet before they are allowed to vote and
control our elections"
He now poses before the country
as the special champion of the rights
of the Irish, but be can net thus deceive
the Irish. Their trusted friends are
democrats and they daily appreciate the
fact.

CHANGE

Every citizen who loves bis country
better than his party will welcome a
change of administration at Washing
ton. The republican party has had
exclusive control of all the departments
for over twenty years. The books and
records have been made and kept by
them. It is time these books ware
overhauled aud examined. Il has been
charged more than once that some of
the books in the treasurer's Office have
been tampered with that erasures and
interlineations have been made, that
forced and arbitrary balances appear in
many places. M democrat has access
to them. Let there be 9 change so
that these charges may be investigated
by persons who have no interest 10
the result of such Investigation other
than arriving at the truth or falsity of
them. LIST every body vote for q
change.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC FIOKRF.
mkISE ELESTaeN.

As we predicted in our issue OF
Aug. Is Maine has gone Republican
by about II, ,0Oe. This Is an increase
on her majority Of year ago by
about 1000. The reasons for this in
crease are apparent to all intelligent
persons. 1t is Blaine's own state
aud would be expected to increase the
majority. Blaine has been at home
ever since his nomination personally
overseeing and controlling the cam
paigu. The republican national COM
mittee has thrown It's whole power
into the fight by giving lavishly OF
money to swell the majority, Blaine
early informed the alliance with the
prohibitionists by which they secur-
ed their vote In return for republican
support ofprohibition. He also made
q deal by which he secured nearly
all the greenback vote. The repub-
lieans had their best speakers from
all parts Of the country and made
the hardest fight they have ever
made.
On.the contrary, the democrats OF
the state had to make the fight alone
without any assistance Of money or
speakers from the national committee.
The national committee decided as
they properly should that 1t would
not be wise to spend time and money
to carry republican state and hence
let the matter go by default. There is
no significance in the Maine election.
It is not necessarily encouraging to
republicans nor dIscouraging to dem
oerts.

WHAT WILL Tmg WARMERS No.

The farmer, under cur our present
tariff law is compelled TO buy in the
highest markets, and at the same time
TO sell in the lowest. In other word.
be is compelled to bay in 9 home
market when prices are necessarily
high under our protective tariff laws
while he must go TO Europe to 6nd =
market for bis wheat, -four, corn, beef
and pork and thus not only come in
competition with the pauper labor oi
Russia, but of India and all other wheat
growing regions Of the word. We
are told that by protecting our manu-
facturers, they will thus be enabled TO
employ large number of men who
will thus consume what the farmer
produces, giving him q home msrket
for bis products, and that home mar
ket il always hetter than a foreign
market.
Now this statement is full of fallacy
and unsoundness.
In the first place our farmers are
painfully aware that we have had
high protective tariff for a period of
twenty yers and yet our manufacturers
have not employed sufficient number of
persons to consume the farmers produce
but ali this time he has been driven TO
foreign markets with his wheat, corn,
-four, beef, pork etc. but not allowed to
buy in these foreign markets although
much cheaper than his home markets.
The farmer is thus made a slave for
the manufacturer. The farmer who
votes for Blaine votes to retain this
inquitioHs tariff law. What q pity far.
mers will not do in voting what they
do In all other things is that
which will subserve their own interests.
Than party bias and prejudice alone
stand in the way. At each succeeding
congress the country is confronted by the
protected manufacturers who tell the
people that if the tariff laws are allow
ed to remain as they are, or raised to
higher figure, then they can afford to
pay higher wages to the laborer. They
say the benefit arising from the tariff
laws accrues to tho farmer in furnish
ing him a market for his produce, and
the laborer in higher wages,
and the benefits of. such laws do not
help him much. Why do these pro-
tected manufacturers take such lively
interest in electing protectionists to con-
gress and for president if they receive
no benefit from the protection policy?
Why do thy spend thousands upon thou
sands of dollars in elections if they are
not benefited thereby2 The truth is
they are amassiug princely fortunes un-
der the operations of thsse Jaws and
that is the reason they can afford, and
do contribute, as gift, large sums Of
money to carry elections. If these laws
benefited only the farmer and the work. |
men these manufacturers would not
contribute dollar to that end.
The sooner the farmer takes up these
facts and carefully weighs them to as
,srtain their force, the better it will be

GLOOMY PROSPECT.

This harvest season is a gloomy
one FAR the farmer. The wheat
yield had the weather remained good
would not have been nearly SO large
as had been anticipated on account of
rust. But now we have had a weeks
rain with nearly one third of the crop
standing shocked or uncut in the
field and largely damaged by the
rain. The loss is heavy one, even
considering the low prices. The out
leOk is anything bat promising, with
prices so low.
