There are few men whom 1t would greatly
delight Mayor Deering to see defeated. They
are the members of the present city govern
ment who have, in the discharge of their
duty, opposed and often baffied his unwlse
and extravagant courses and are now candi-
dates for reelection, PROFESSIONALLY, what
he most desires is to compass Mr.. Kings de-
feat; but after that he would like to break
every man who has done his duty manfully,
in contempt of the Mayors frowns. Repub-
lcans owe these men, whose service and
courage has exposed the Mayors weak
ness, an especially cordial and determined
support. They ought 70 be given the oppor-
tunity of service with Mayor who will treat
them with decency. Let the Republicans in
every ward rally around the men who have
fought good fight under hard conditions.

makes . careful atudy Of the

makes careful study of the Q
of accounts. 1t is the money OF the people,
not of the city government, that is involved
in these operations.
If any person thinks the PRESS has so long
expressed desire to see full and accurate
statement OF the exact financial conditions
simply because we did not like Mayor Deer
ing's administration, he is much mistaken.
Certain parties, intimate With the Mayor, are
continually boasting of the superior character
of his administration in the matter of econo-
my. Whether their opinion was simple
laudation, or was judgment based
on knowledge of the accounts, we could not
tell. Certain specific acts that for some
reason or other had attracted particular at
tention did not appear to us to indicate
economy or wisdom. These we could dis
cuss; but as for the rest all was in the dark,
and there appeared TO be an Willingness to
reveal the facts. Now that the PRESS has
presented Thorn any person of intelligence
can consider them for himself and judge
whether the extraordinary claims made in
the Mayors behalf are justified. To us they
appear not to be. Six appropriations appear
to be exhausted. This we believe agrees
with recent statement by the Auditor. As
he stated, the largest deficiency is in the
sinking fund. We ascertain now for the
| first time the aggregate deficiency at that
date, which was $7354s.
The statement made shows balance to
the credit of the appropriations specified of
$60,586.5S. Take from this the balances
credited to the salary accounts and the ac-
count of interest, which are matters that
| may be accurately estimated beforehand, land
which we presume are adequately provided
for, there remains but $6,45257. From this
| should be deducted the balance to credit Of
the support of the poor, for the expenditure
of which the City Council is not RESPONSE
BILE, and the sum left for the expenses of The
city under all the other appropriations
| enumerated for two months from January
S1st to March 31st is $3,5S3.75. According
| to our information which we believe to be
trustworthy, more than that sum has al
ready been expended, on the various &C
counts for which the bills are not yet APP
proved, perhaps not yet presented. Where
we ask,s the evidence of the excellent man
agement and superior talent for economy Of
| Mayor behring's administration? From
this time forth the fulsome eulogies with
which the Argus has teemed will be rated al
their true value-a great discount from theil
fictitious value

nThe tabulatcd statement on the first page
OF the appropriations at the end Of ten

thing such statement as we indicated few
weeks ago that in our judgment it would be
desirable TO hav published officially at the
end of every month. By familiarity with
full and exact statements. made monthly,
q great many more persons than now do so
would be able to keep informed, and would
keep informed, of the financial condition OF
the city, and this of itself would tend not
only TO prevent loose habits of spending and
and accounting on the part Of the City Coun-
ell, but TO more general interest OF the citi-
Gems In the city's affairs which is itself the
very best security of good government. Our
statement is not complete as an official
statement ought to be, which should include,
the income OF departments, if available for
current expenses, and statement of the
city debts. 1t is practicable and it would be
useful to issue such a balance sheet for the
Information of all concerned once month.

The measure Of which Mr.. Henry Waiter
son is the most prominent advocate, TO cre-
ate BY copyright property in news, is doomed
TO certain defeat In the House. The editors
of the country papers which have their tele-
graphic news furnished them in stereotyped
plates have seen their representatives, and
enough of the latter to secure its defeat are
already pledged to vote against the BILL
However Mr.. Watterson's bill may be re-
garded it cannot be denied that newspaper
publishers who expend large sums of money
for telegraphic news have just ground for
complaint against the practice, which is of
recent origin, of obtaining an early copy Of
their papers, selecting out the most impor-
tant telegrapkic news, setting it up and
stereotyping it, and then sending the plates
around to country newspapers in season, in
many cases, to enable the latter to issue
news, which has cost them comparatively
nothing, as early as the papers which pur-
chased it at large expense, and to which it
rightfully belongs exclusively.

There is no one better quslified than Miss
Mclaughlin to give the benefit of her expert
ence to those interested in ceramic art, and
this she has done very clearly and fully in a
dainty little book entitled Suggestions to
China Painters" Contrary to prevailing i'm
preston, Miss Mclaughlin insists on the neces-
sity Of being able to draw any simple form be-
fore proceeding to color, if the beginner would
progress or attain any excellence in the art
Then, BY carefully following these plain
and practical directions, there seems no
reason why one should not do good, and even
original work. This volume is a supplement
to one published some time ago, and those who
have mastered the simpler processes may here
find full explanation and direction for painting
in gold, silver and bronze, and in the prepara-
tion of them for use-also directions for relief
coloring and lettering. 1t is artistically gotten
mp and its illustrations are very effective.

SUGGESTIONS TO CHINA PAINTERS. By M. Louise
Mclaughlin; Cincinnati: Robert Clark g. Co.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1884-03-01

We have done Mr.. K. Mcdonald griey-
ous injustice, of which he has right to
complain, and he properly desires to have
the report, which we were instrumental in
making public, corrected at once. The
PRESS classed him as Deering man, which
he Indignantly denies, and says he is, and
always has been, Republican, which is to
his credit he says, furthermore, that the
work done by him on the Chestnut street
school house was obtained not by favor, but
because he was the lowest bidder for put
ting in the steam piping. We learned yes
terday that Col. Drinkwater was the lowest
bidder for doing the painting. Mr.. Drink
water does not claim to be a Republican.
These two small items of the work were, we
believe, the only ones let out by contract.
They cost but a small Part of the SIP, 300
expended ON the Chestnut street school
house for the repair of which 81, 700 was the
original appropriation.

The Argus forgets to mention the fact
that at the caucus In Ward 2, at which it
says there was not the slightest ill-feeling
displayed" two police officers were knocked
down by roughs, and that the officers had to
draw their revolvers to keep off the crowd.
As arnle the Argus is not slow to discover
row Of this kind OF reluctant to publish it.
This one we suppose was suppressed in the
interest of harmony.

"Supposing they have, what of it9" says
the Argus, when the Press publishes the re-
port that Democratic Aldermen, in defiance
OF the statute Of the State, have been inter-
ested, while aldermen, in selling supplies to
the city. This reminds us of Tweed's ia
nous reply, when his Irregularities were ex.
posed, "What are you going to do about it9''
We believe Tweed was discharged from the
public service by the people.

The Argus yesterday contained long ar.
teie berating Governor Robbie for not APP.
pointing Democrat to the vacancy on the
Supreme Court bench. That is unkind
when the Democratic lawyers of the Cum.
berland Bar, instead of asking him to ap.
point Democrat, almost unanimously asked
him to appoint Republican, and no two oil
them Joined in presenting the name of any
Democrat.

Ex-Mayor Walker has once more emerged
from his retirement to say that in his opin-
ion the committee which had in charge, the
Chestnut street schoolhouse repairs acted
wisely in rejecting all the bids and doing the
work BY the day at an expense about $4,000
greater than the bidders offered to do it for.
Mr.. Walker must be loosing his grip on COM
mon sense.

We are authorized by the Collector of the
Port to say, with reference to statement in
the Argus of yesterday, that nobody, with his
knowledge or consent, has solicited, either in
the Custom House or out of it. contributions
from the men serving the government in the
Custom House.

The election to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Congressman Haskell of the
Second Kansas district takes place to-day.
The Republican nominee is Mr.. Edward p.
Funston and his opponent who is the candi-
date Of the Greenbackers as well as the Dem
ccrats is Mr.. S. A. Riggs. The tariff issue
has been made quite prominent in the can
vass. Mr.. Haskell was elected by plural
ity of about 1900 over his Democratic oppo-
nent, but the vote of the Greenback and
Democratic opposition combined exceeded
Mr.. HaskelPs vote by about 1900. The re-
suit of to-day's contest therefore is doubtful.

Aspecial correspondent of the Boston Ad-
yertiser writing from Bangor on the political
outlook in Maine, expresses the opinion that
Judge Humphrey will be the Republican
nominee for mayor of Bangor, and Mayor
Cummings the nominee of the Democrats
that Congressman Boutelle will probably be
renominated; and that Gov. Robbie will lead
the Republicans in the gubernatorial cam
paign. The correspondent finds that good
many Democrats are talking of Major D. R.
Hastings of Fryeburg, for their candidate
for governor. The choice of the eastern
Democrats for Presidential candidate is
Tilden.
