issue of the Journal. whose text fully war

the past eight years the people are for Blaine

delight. Evidences of his strength multiply in
every direction. and place him far in advance
nomination of President Arthur's successor. A
late issue of the Philadelphia Press publishes
the following concerning postal card canvass
of Pennsylvania on the Presidency:
Three or four days ago there was printed in
small type and in an obscure part of The Press
communication proposing that the Repubi-
can voters of PENNSYLVANIA signify to their
favorite paper by postal card their preference
as to the presidential ticket which shall be
nominated this year. The request has been
complied with to an enormous extent. All of
the votes received are counted, provided they
are accompanied by the name and address of
the voter.

EXPostmaster General James made long
statement before the Star Route Committee in
Washington March 9Th. 1t was carefully pre-
pared and printed. 1t reviewed at length the
general history of the Star Route case, with
which the public is familiar. One of the strik-
ing features was the statement that on June ,.
W. A. Cook informed him that he feared that
something terrible was going to happen to
Garfield. In conclusion Mr.. james said:
l desire to say to the committee that gladly
avail myself of the opportunity afforded 10
present this statement Of the essential facts of
my connection with the star route proceedings.
| deem it due to the truth of history and ?
matter OF justice to myself. and still more of
justice to the memory of the late Pre-, ldeut
Garfield. His conduct in the whole affair was
honorable and courageous in a high degree
and was inspired by lofty sense of the duties
of his office. If he had taken lower view OF
honest man, it i my firm belief that he would
not have fallen a victim to the asSassin'> bullet

Those democrats who thought The farmers
We're for free trade, have had their eve, opened
by the Indignation of the farmers in Ohio over
the broken democratic promises respecting
the restoration OF the duty on wool. Only
twenty-four democrats had the courage, Mon
day, in the House to vote with The republicans
to consider bill to restore the duty. The free
traders are not very successful whether with
working men in manufacturing towns or with
farmers on the land. says the journal.

Some misplaced commas caused serious er-

the new building for the Industrial School for
Girls as published last week. The subscriptions
are a, follows: Mrs. Mary Erskine, $1,000;
Capt. John Pattel, $500; small sums, 5000;
subscribed in Portland to date, 5000; promised
by Mr. Bodwe. $1,000. This makes quite a
handsome total, but more is needed, and we
trust the appeal for further contributions will
be generously responded to.

Tariff Topics.

The election in Kansas to choose successor
to the seat in the House made vacant by the
death of Mr.. Haskell. turned upon the issue of
free trade or protection. The result was that
the Democratic free trader was defeated. the
Republican protectionist being elected over him
by majority of from 1900 to 5000 votes.
Chairman Morrison and his colleagues felt sure
of victory. and the result is. therefore, an I'M
expected and grievous disappointment to
them. In 1882 Haskell received 23,60l votes.
the Democratic candidate received 1916 votes
and the Greenback candidate $40 votes, Has
kell'> majority over the Democratic candidate
was 4.4S5. but he received l,225 votes less than
the combined opposition vote.
The protectonists of both parties in Alabama
have organized what they call 1.-THE Alabama
Industrial League" and. while lis purpose il
ostensibly TO encourage manufactures and the
development of the resources of the State. it is
really to oppose free trade and to secure the
election of members of Congress next fall who
are in favor of protection. The Legislature
which will be elected next November will
choose United States senator to ill the seat of
Mr.. Pugh. and, with the cooperation of the
colored people, the league hopes to control that
body, and secure not only nlted States >ena-
tor. but several members of Congress. Anoth-
er sign of the times is that thirteen Democratic
