The English press seems very much

presses the belief that American politics
will be improved by the defeat of the Re-

Cleveland that will not be entirely accep-

that the American. people can take care of

English journals, but by supporting Amer

resent those policies.

AS the Democrats have determined on
REFORM as their shibboleth in this cam
paign, we would suggest as the way to
make 1T forceful and prominent: First,
determine that there shall be free vote
and fair count in every State in the Union
that in Mississippi, South Carolina, Lou
isana, and every other Southern State, in
Guiding Virginia, there shall be no plan.
scheme OF device to deprive single legal
voter of his right to cast his ballot as he
may please, and that it be counted just as
it was cast. 1t is true, such Reform
would secure the election of Blaine and
Logan by large majority in the Electoral
College, at the same time it would give the
assurance that the laws and constitution are
held as sacred and obeyed as implicitly in
the South as IN any other portion of the
Union. That would be palpable, promi
nent and brilliant reform as would
attract the attention of the whole country,
and give the Democratic party charac-
ter it has never yet enjoyed. For the
Democrats to cry Reform y in one breath
and breathe threatenings and vengeance
in another, just because other people wish
to exercise the rights, and with the same
freedom, that the Democrats do, is moi
the kind of reform the country wants.
To clamor for Reform, yet put in motion
the agencies which would deprive lega
voters of their rights, and secure electoral
votes by gross frauds for the Democratic
ticket would sound harsh to ears polite and
convey the impression that there was some
inslncerity in the reform cry. Let us
for the novelty of the thing, have littk
genuine reform in this respect from the
Democratic party, and then, it is possible
the people may reward it in the future witt
proper recognition.

General Languor.

Among the list of distinguished military
heroes the names of General Languor or
Debility do not appear. Yet, it is well
authenticated fact, that there are times
when the pulse lies low in the bosom and
beats feebly in the arteries. The spirit of
the individual is sleepy, and the whole
tendency of the body is toward rest and
decay. At such times and during such
seasons, the system needs toning up by
the use of some good and pure tonic which
will restore the organs to the wonted state.
Such tonic is found in PERUNA, which
is acknowledged by all to be the very thing
to put these famous generals to rout, and
to ultimately conquer them. Read the
following testimonial which shows in
what estimation PERUNA is held, and

Fair PLAY for York.

Some of the Republican papers which are
interested in having Mr.. Burleigh chosen
state treasurer IRE struggling with ra her
poor success against the perfectly reasonable
argument that York county, if it presents a
capable and honorable candidate for the
Office of state treasurer, is entitled to the
favorable consideration Of the members OF
the legislature, because in the distribution
OF places of profit and honor the staunch
and faithful Republicans of that county
have been rather neglected in comparison
with what has fallen to the share of the
counties which are in this matter an
tagonizing the desire of York. These
papers are engaged in the desperate
task of trying to discredit the consid-
Grafton of locality, and the arguments to
which they resort are sufficient evidence of
the difficulty of their undertaking.
For example, to the statement lately made
in the Biddeford Journal that Kennebec
county is conceded two of the state offices to
be filed and presents candidates for two more,
these papers say, 20, no; Mr.. Burleigh is
not citizen of Kennebec, but of Penob-
scot, and should be so esteemed. To be
sure he lived in Augusta for years, his fam
lily lives in Augusta, he pays taxes in Angus
ia and votes in Augusta; but he formerly
lived in Bangor, aud owns a house there,
and 1t must be presumed that if he were not
in Office he would return there" Well, he
might and he might not. He might find
other employment in Augusta, or in Port
land or Boston or Washington. The fact is
he is now citizen of Kennebec county to
all intents and purposes, actually and legal
~. Augusta would not think of disowning
him, nor would Bangor think of claiming
him, except as convenience when arrang-
ing their portion of the good places in the
state government which the politicians of
Kennebec and Penobscot contrive with
perfect understanding to secure.
Again they meet the statement that con-
sideration should be given to the York Re-
publicans, by saying that York and Cum
berland have had a fair share of favor
Pray why are the offices Cumberland has, or
has had. brought into the reckoning? Cum
berland is not York, any more than Penob-
scot is Kennebec. York is the third county
in the State in population, and properly
may be considered by itself. But since the
matter has been alluded to in this way, it
may be well to see what the record shows in
this particular, and the attention of mem
bers OF the Legislature and of the citizens
generally is called to the following interest
ing table of Offices held by citizens of the
several counties by choice of the legislature
since 1860:

One of the most remarkable features In the
history OF Methodism, nd one that gives a
peculiar interest to the Centennial celebra-
ton al Baltimore, is the fact that its ratio of
growth corresponds almost exactly to the per-
ceniage of increase in the country's popala-
ton. In the last quarter OF century, for ex-
ample, its strength has grown from GOO, 900
to 15,000,00o, gain of rs per cent, and our
increase of population in t e same time has
been that shown by the difference between
3l,445,0 900 and 100000, which is practical
ly the same measure OF gain. This goes to
prove that the Methods. church is very
closely related to The American scheme of
civilization, and very secure in its hold upon
the popular judgment and conscience.

the Senate "A years ago. aud one IL years
ago; Speaker of the House 10 years ago,
and another IA years ago; Treasurer %
years ago, and another years ago. Since
then 40 candidate before the Legislature for
a State Office has been successful, Mr..
Banks, the treasurer from York, had a
shorter term of service than treasurers usu-
ally do, the fusion episode cutting him off,
and when the Republicans regained the
State he was not restored, as some of the
officials in similar case were, and this is
the only State Office held by York county
Republican for 20 years past. Furthermore,
at the present time, we believe that the only
York county man holding an office by APP
pointment is Mr.. Owen B. Chadbourne
trustee of the Reform School.
We have nothing to say against Mr.. Bur-
leigh personally or as an official. We may
grant all that his friends claim in these par
ticulars, but 1t remains true that it is nei-
Their wise nor just that one or two counties
should enjoy monopoly of the privilege of
supplying TIE State with officers. OF the
50 officers embraced in the above list, cover
ing twenty-five years, two counties-Kenne-
bee and Penobseot, have furnished SO, or
more than tws-ffths of the whole, while
they have less than one fifth of the popula-
ton, and 1t may be added without any pur-
pose OF dsparaging them, not much great
er proportion Of citizens qualified to serve
the State well and faithfully. These two
counties, therefore, have had during the last
twenty five years double their fair proper
ton of honors and offices in the State gov
ernment. Is this because the rest of the
State is deficient in good men, or deficient in
patriotism, or unable to cope with the as
tute politicians of the central section?
If we consider particular Offices with re-
gard to their Importance in shaping the
States business and In political influence,
the disparity is not less but greater. The
two counties of Kennebec and Penobscot
have had of the 20 Presidents of the SEN
ate, and of the 10 Speakers of the House;
3 of the 5 secretaries of the Senate and of
the clerks of the House, 8 of the s Secre-
taries of State, 3 of the Treasurers, and 4
of the 9 Attorney Generals. Truly this is
an interetting exhibit, and one to which it
is timely to give some serious consideration.

The attempt to blow mp London Bridge
will be attributed to the Fenians of course,
and very likely it should be. The fact that
the plot did not succeed Ia accomplishing
what its originators intended makes them
not one whit less culpable than if the bridge
were in ruins to-day and thousands of inno-
cent lives sacrificed with it. Men who resort
TO such dIabolical schemes as this, no matter
on what pretense, are outside the pale of hui
mainly and deserve no more consideration
than wild beasts. They are not alone enc
mics of England, they are enemies of the
human race.

1t is said that Representative Towpshend
will introduce bill looking to constitu-
tional amendment providing that the House
of Representatives shall share equally with
the Senate in the treaty making power.
Whether such an amendment would be wise
or not is an open question. But the chances
OF the adoption of such an amendment
would be very small. The legislatures of
the smaller States would be pretty certain to
object to surrendering SO much of their
equal and sovereign position in the Union as
this amendment would involve.

is natural enough that Cleveland should now
