Extenuattng Circumstances.

1t is charged on the one hand that DR..
Nichols has sold liquor freely for drink
ing purposes, and on the other that his
traffic has been limited to distinctively
medicinal uses. We had supposed that the
charges of illegal liquor-selling, if the ex-
act truth were known, would lie some
where between these extreme statements.
But all matters of conjecture aside, put
in its mildest form, the statement that
DR.. Nichols has sold liquor for medic
inal uses is conceded. The law makes
such sales contraband, and druggists in
different parts of the state have been
prosecuted by Jealous temperance people
for sales which have been clearly shown to
be for medicinal uses of the most urgent
character. Still it is said, in extenuation
of these admitted sales at Mortified, by
his friends and neighbors, that they were
only for medicinal purposes, and these
extenuating circumstances are plausibly,
almost Indignantly, urged in his case,
while other druggists have been plum

The rock on which the American hog
has struck seems to be not Bismarck, but
the German hog and his European rela-
tives. Since January 1st the exports of
pork from this country for use abroad
have fallen off twenty-five per cent, it is
said, and the Chicago Tribune thus ex-
plains the change: "The news is cabled
here that German meats, equal to our
Cumberland middles, have been sold to
arrive in England on terms which are
only equal to about seven and one.half
cents per pound in this city and cost of
transportation added. An English dealer
in provisions writes to an exchange that
he expects to see large quantities of meats
reshipped from Liverpool to the United
States. Another writes Il can buy
bacon to-day for less money per hundred
weight-the native product of France,
Germany, Holland and Dsnmark-than 1
can buy like cuts in Chicago, weight for
weight; and, to the European palate at
least, the quality is much superior to the
best American. The flesh of the Eu-
ropean hog is more tender and less
fibrous and muscular than that of his
American cousin"

The Messenger has the astounding in
telligence " from various reliable sources
that the friends of Colonel Pingree "are
making canvass in some parts of the
state in his behalf" The scamps ought
to be arrested. But the peculiar thing
about this matter is that our demented
contemporary is not able to distinguish
between spontaneous work of this kind,
if indeed any at all is being done, and
work by the candidate himself in his
own behalf. If anybody is at work for
Colonel Pingree, it is safe to say that it is
without his CONSENT" and without his
knowledge" also, if knowledge implies
connivance and scheming. In this matter
the Messenger swallows very small gnat
with infinite straining, but bolts a very
large camel-hump, hoofs and all-with a
countenance of imbecile placidity. We
know nothing as to what the men who
put Colonel Pingree in the field are doing
in his behalf; but we know some of the
men, and it is the most unlikely thing in
the world that they will supinely suffer
the machine to run over them. Its organs
can count on that, to dead certainty
and they had better send the information
over the wires at once.

WASHINGTON correspondence Spring
field Republican: "Of the four promi-
nent candidates on the republican side
Edmunds is clearly the favorite of the
people rather than the politicians. Re-
ports come in here from various points all
over the country that the political work
ers do not want Edmunds, but that hard
headed republicans in the ranks regard
him as the strongest candidate and de-
sire chance to vote for him. Mr.. Ed.
munds is the only one among the republi-
cans considered for the presidency who
does not want the office. He is doing alb
solutely nothing to draw support, but is
rather disposed to discourage the move.
ment in his behalf. Doubtless, however,
he recognizes certain obligation to the
people of his own state and to his party,
and if he should be nominated it need not
be feared that he will refuse to stand. 1t
is not probable that the vote for Edmunds
will be heavy one when the contest
opens in the national convention. He
may even fall behind all of the other can
didates, although he will have the bulk
of the New England vote, leaving out
Maine, some from New York and small
scattering support from other states. But
the convention promises to be, in an
unusual degree, deliberative body. The
choice of 80 many delegates by district
conventions, untrammeled by the party
machinery, and the freedom from aggres-
sive preliminary canvassing for any of the
candidates, must result in an exceptionally
fair and excellent representation of the
party, of its intelligence and wisdom.
Such an assemblage of republicans is
likely to remember the close division of
the country between the two parties in
the last two national elections, and will
be slow to place in nomination any man
who is plainly vulnerable as candidate.
If the large and growing independent
wing of the party be taken into account,
and the demand for the extension of ad-
ministrative reform which has lately been
made 30 clear at the East, be considered,
the nomination of Blaine or Arthur or
Logan will be recognized as the extrem-
est folly. However admirably President
Arthur may have borne himself since he
entered the White House, if it be demon.
strated that he cannot carry New York,
where he is best known, and Ohio, where,
after New York, the hostility to him is
greatest, his nomination would be fatal

sional conventions for the election of dele
gates to the national convention begins to
give shape and form to what has hitherto
been mass of conjecture, veined by ex-
pressions of individual and editorial pref
erence. The Pennsylvania democracy, in
state convention, have declared for Mr..
Randall. This is held to indicate Mr..
Tilden's unalterable determination not to
be the democratic candidate. On the re-
publican side the developments of the
past week cover much wider field. The
anomaly is presented of enthusiastic sup
port of Mr.. Blaine in Pennsylvania and
only moderate degree in Maine. In the

The Barton Monitor reiterates in 9

The Barton Monitor reiterates in a
column or so its previously asserted in
nocence as to the existence of rings and
machines in Vermont. With the st. AL.
bans Messenger, it seems to think that
the reputation of the state is so fragile
an affair that the publication of the truth
about the tendency of things, about bad
political customs, may crush it; that criti-
cisms and exposures are "defamatory,"
and they who utter them, enemies of the
state. Mrs. Darlington, striving with her
broom to drive back the Atlantic's waves,
was not so daft as those newspapers
which think to sneer down or to arrest
by denials and discredits the rising tide
of independence in Vermont. The peo-
pie are getting hold of political matters,
and the indications are that the reputa-
ton of the state will be shown to be not
a thing that must be kept done up in
cotton batting to preserve it, but some-
thing sufficiently stalwart to stand a
good healthy shaking up, and to come out
of the racket very much invigorated.

ment of The bank at Swanton and Of Platts-
bureh bank In consequence. We gather from
the Messenger the following particulars: Tues
day morning the bank was not opened, and
notice was posted on the outer door to the
effect that 1t would not be opened for business
that day. The explanation was that the bank s
drafts on Boston had gone to protest on Satur-
day for lack of funds TO pay them, and for this
reason the national bank examiner, Hon. Geo.
w. Hendee, closed the institution. Mr.. Edward
A. Sowles, president of the bank, went to Bos.

credit of the institution. He WAS unsuccessful
