The APPLETON PENSION CASE. The journal

March, of the death of Samuel Robbins an ex-
soldier of Appleton, and the alleged conspiracy be-
tween Charles S. Pease and Noah Robbins of An.

Noah Robbins dividing the back pay. The case

The matter was almost forgotten by the public, but

A LESSON IN POLITICAL HISTORY.

The claims of Strong to be the birthplace of
the Republican party have not yet been dispu-
ted. though it was during that year of 1854 that
the antl->lavery party became known generally
as the Republicin party and under that title
carried Il number of the free State elections 1t
seems to be an accepted fact that the convention
at Strong on August !, 1874, at which the
Wings. Free Settlers and Morrill, Democrats
united under the name of Republicans WAS the
first. al any rate, to adopt the name in Maine.
\ ct the name did not originate here As applied
to political party. jefferson did not like the
name Of Democrat, and preferred to have the
anti-Fedcraiist party. of which he was the
leader, called Republican. In 1882 the jackson
men called themselves Democratic Republicans
and the anti-.jaekson party organized AS MI
lionai Republicans. with Henry Clay for Presi-
dental candidate and ii platform supporting
the United States bank and favorng Il protec-
tive tariff and internal improvements. Thi,
afterward became the Wing party. and when
that organization disappeared the Republican

Name Politics and Politicians
THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.

The Somerset Reporter issues the following
note of warning: Those Republicans who have
been counting on an easy victory over the
Democratic hosts in September. a walk over in
the race for State and county officers and Con-
gressmen, are reckoning from wrong premises.
There are accommodating evidences that the
opposition is organizing and preparing for a
hard fight and stubborn resistance. What they
will strive for is:
l. To keep the majority of Governor ROBBIE
at as low a figure possible so as to effect the
October and November elections in other States.
If this majority should fall below 10 900 it will
be claimed as a Democratic victory and used
an argument against Mr.. Blaine.
>. To defeat Mr.. Reed in the First Congress
sional district, and Mr.. Boutelle in the Fourth.
Their only hope in doing this, is through dis
sensons in the Republican ranks. Their pros
pect of success is not tlattering in either dis
trict, but they have way of working against
any and all odds as valiantly as though inva-
riably successful and will doubtless so work
this year.
3. To recover some of the close counties
that they lost two years ago and among these
the county of Somerset. Also the recovery of
close legislative districts and the cutting down
of the majority in the legislature.
ETERNAL VIGILANCE THE PRICE OF VICTORY
Maine tapublicans must not think that their
opponents will continue their passive policy of
the last six weeks. Maine, this year. is an I'M
usually critical point in the National field and
the National democracy will not allow it to 90
by default, There is indubtable evidence that
the Maine organization expects the same sub
stantial aid-or more of it-from the democrat
ic National committee. that they received in
1880, when thousands of dollars We're poured
into this State and when the Maine democrats
We're flush of money to an extent unprecedent-
ed in Names political history. Nothing will
be left undone by the democracy to undermine
our republican majority next September; and
the republican forces must make up their
minds that hot work is before them and that
eternal vigilance never was more essential
than NOW. A rnOslnnk Reuuhlicau.

Voters in every precinct where there
is public school should bear in mind
that there are two School Trustees to
be elected-one for long term and the
other for short term. The election of
School Trustees is matter that is gen.
orally neglected at small precincts on
election day. School Trustees should
be chosen rather for their fitness for
the office, than for their political opin-
ions, and as the residents of the district
are supposed to know the men who are
best qualified, they should make the
selection, and not leave it for the
County Superintendent to eli vacan-

THE WATER TAX PROPOSITION.

A correspondent writes in another
part Of The HERALD against the
proposition to tex lot owners at the
rate of fifty cents foot on their lots
facing streets along which the water
mains are laid. His position is the
one that will be endorsed and sp-
proved by property owners, and the
Council should proceed slowly in
this matter, and in every other mat
ter involving so large increase of
tax alton, as this does, The figures
presented by "Salt Laker" are start
ling from their enormity and truth.
In the large majority of instances
the tax world prove a hardship,
and in many cases oppressive.
1t would be utterly impossible
for scores of people to pay the
money without involving them
selves, or selling property. and in
some cases the lots would bring
little or more than the tax. 1t
strikes us there is better plan
for extending the mains than the
one proposed, Of a direct and ex-
tremeIy burdensome tax, if 1t is a
fact, as stated, that the water rates
bring into the city treasury fair
interest on the money invested in
the works; there is every reason to
believe that the income from that
sources will increase every year, and
the corporation will not have to
apply to any other fund to pay the
interest on whatever loan it will
contract for the water works &C
count. The people who use the
water pay this interest, if they do
not decrease the debt, and the water
works obligation does not bear upon
those who derive no benefit from
it. There should be no difficulty in
borrowing whatever money is
needed to extend the mains, and as
the people who use the water pay
the interest on the money the COR
poration expenses are no way in.
creased by the transaction. We do
not know that it is correct that the
revenue from the water service
equals the interest charge on tie
money that the works cost, but IL it
does not it would be an easy matter
