HAD the closely contested election for
President, through which the United
States has just passed, occurred In
France, Germany, or England, it would
have developed In a revolution. With

large amount Of betting-an ocean of
vapor and talk on street corners and in

eyes, damaged phizes, broken heads,

customary display of cheap fire works,
stale humor, and "chin music.r The

The season is nigh when II is the yearly
wont OF this people to observe day APP
pointed for that purpose by the Presi-
dent, as an especial occasion for thanks
giving unto God.
Now, therefore, in recognition Of this
hallowed custom, /, Chester A. Arthur,
President Of the United States, do here

Thanksgiving Thursday, the 18th day OF
this present November, and do recon-
mend that throughout the land, the peo-
pie ceasing from their accustomed occu-
pations, do then keep holiday at their
several homes and their several places
Of worship, and with heart and voice
pay reverent acknowledgement to the

NEW ORLEANS is In the throes OF cruel
revolution. In spite Of the alleged cleo
tIon OF Cleveland and the predicted
dawn Of an unexampled prosperity. the
street car drivers have struck for higher
wages and the result is, every street car
line is idle, and the citizens are terribly
upset. In city OF the size Of New Or
leans, lines of street cars are absolutely
necessary to locomotion, and when the
cars stop running, II falls.heavily on the
entire population ard seriously affects
trade and business. The municipal
authorities have instructed the City
Attorney to institute legal proceedings
against he street car companies for the
franchises, because they have ceased to
perform what they agreed to do. 1t is
very strange, that such state Of things
should occur after the presumed election
of Cleveland, which was to envelop the
land In prosperity and grease the wheels
of business.

THE English idea Of the United States
generally is very crude and very uncer-
tain. An American visitor at Cam
bridge, England, wrote TO friend in
New York as follows: "They have
some American corn growing here
among the flowers, for ornamental pur-
poses. One of the professors, while
walking with me through the garden
yesterday, remarked: what beautiful
flower it will have when 1t opensl' As
he spoke he pointed to the ear, which
he evidently mistook for the bud. An
other Of the professors who attended n
meeting of the British Association at
Montreal, and afterward took run to
Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and
New York, before returning to his ma
tive soil, is very enthusiastic about the

to the silver coinage was adopted because
the committee on resolutions did not think
of it in season. 1t would undoubtedly
have been we'll to have adopted resolution
on this subject, but it is ridiculous TO inter
pref the future to do SO either as an indica-
ton that Maine Republicans have IT posi-
tive views on he subject or that they are
afraid to express them because they might
injuse Mr. Blaine's chances in the West. AS
Mr.. Stevens poials out, the Republican dele
Cation in Congress has repeatedly, both by
word and vote, expressed their opposition to
The continued coinage of the silver dollar
and there is no doubt that their course ia this
matter has met the hearty approval Of their
constituents. As for Mr.. Baine's chances
IN the West they are more likely to BIZ in
Jured by the knowledge that he is in favor
OF the continued coinage of silver than by
the knowledge that he is no. The Repab-
leans of the West have recovered from The
silver craze, as is evidenced by the fact that
the Chicago Tfiune and the Cincinnati
Commercial, which some years ago were ar
dent advocates of the coinage of the silver
dollar are both at the present time vigorous
ly demanding that its coinage be stopped.
SIR. Stevens's reply to the Advertisers re-
mark that the domination of Mr.. Blaine
would necessitate a defensive campaign is
vigorous, and administers a deserved rebuke
to the friends of other candidates who are
seeking 10 intimdate Mr.. Blaine's following
by aspersing his character and conduct in
public life.

In card published elsewhere Mr.. Clay
ton, State liquor commissioner, prouounces
the charges made against him by the city
liquor agent of Bangor. untrue and courts
an investigation. Mr. Clayton talks like a
man who is innocent, and feels confident of
his ability to establish his innocence beyond
question. The inves igation which he
asks for will undoubtedly be granted, and
pending that Mr.. CLAYTON is entitled to be
considered innocent Of the charges brought
against him. With regard to Mr. King, the
prosecutor in the case, the Lewiston Jour
nal makes the good point that if, as be says,
the city liquor agency under his manage
ment has been nothing but an additional
rum shop he has been guilty of malfeas-
ance in Office and ought himself to be in

Mr.. Stevens's Answer.

The Hon. John L. Stevens's letter, else
where published, pretty effectually dsposes
of TWO points of the Boston Advertisers crit
icism of the platform of the Maine Republic
cans. The temperance resolution, which
the Advertiser thought two-faced, was, it
seems the work Of prominent representa-
tive of the prohibitionists, and was in accord
with the wishes of the friends of prohibition
as officially expressed to the committee on
resolutions. It is well known in this State
that the friends Of the prohibitory amend
ment do not desire to make it political
question. Whether it be judicious or not
they prefer that the people should decide
without reference to party. That is the rea-
son undoubtedly that they did not wish a
declaration in terms in its support in she
Republican platform. The convention very
properly deferred to their wishes in the mat
ter.
The second point of the Advertisers criti-
cism, that the resolution on civil service re-
form was tempered" at the suggestion of
Mr.. Blaine, never had anything in it worth
dAoWOAAh6s ~ was nOJ LCnpCE6Q db oil,
and therefore could not have been "tem-
pered" at the suggestion of Mr.. Blaine. The
resolution is as strong and as satisfactory to
the friends of civil service reform as the
Massachusetts resolution on the subject,
and lift can be fairly urged that the Maine
Republicans had doubts as to whether fur
Their legislation is necessary to protect the
reform from the entertainments and dan
gers of partisan strife, because the conven-
ton declared in favor of such legislation ''it
needed" it can as fairly be urged that the
Massachusetts, Republicans had similar
doubts, inasmuch as they made no positive
declaration on this precise point at all.
Mr.. 6tevens's answer to the third point in
the criticism is that no resolution in regard

The anxiety of Mr.. Morrison with regard
to the fate of his bantling is over. The
House yesterday strangled the tariff bill by
striking out the enacting clause by vote of
156 to 15l. This action undoubtedly ends

of Congress is concerned The free traders

The editor of the Oxford Democrat went
to Bangor expecting 10 fnd RUN shop with
a flaming sign, on every conner, as in New
York. He was happily disappointed. He
found an abundance OF drug stores, which,
however, he does not regard as necessa-
rily liquor shops, and number of dlngy
saloons, and feels pretty sure that there
was bar room somewhere in the hotel, but
he saw no liquor openly exposed for sale,
and saw none drunk. Therefore he con
cludes that Bangor is not as black as it has
been painted. So far as we know, it has
never been painted quite as black as New
York.
