the cause of American industries and the Amer

thus arrayed against the welfare and prosperity

We'll, what are you going to do about it? was
the comment of the Democratic press on the
proposed Congressional investigation of the
Copiah murder The investigation has. how
ever, not only placed the responsibility for the
murder of Matthews where it belonged, but
shamed the Mississippi authorities into bringing
the murderer to trial. a step they had not con-
templated. 1t was almost too much to expect
a conviction, although the evidence was of the
most direct and positive character, and the
failure to convict simply places the court on a
level with the murderer. Had Wheeler been
convicted and hanged there would be hope of
free elections and a reign of law and order in
Missssippi; but the verdict Of not guilty re-
turned by the jury on Thursday shows that the
shot gun method of carrying elections is to
continue in that State. This will bring the
matter again before Congress.

The Lewiston Gazette quotes the Boston Adj
vertiser and Springfield Republican to prove
that Maine Republicans are not unanimous for
Blaine. Evidence nearer home, or at least that
which is not known to be prejudced, would be
more valuable in this connection. But, after
all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
If Mr. Blaine is nominated at Chicago the re-
turns of the November election in Maine will
show how unanimous the Republicans of this

The Belfast club have a number of engagements
and we shall expect them to redeem themselves be
fore the close of the season. A Watervile CORE
spondent of the Lewiston Journal has the follow
ing to say concerning the recent game: The play
ing on the part of both mines excellent. Does
pitching for the home nine was found very effective
and the terrific batting of the Coby's showed them
to be the strongest team Colby has ever put into
the field. The pitcher and catcher of the Belfast
nine did come noble work and their swift fielding
was marked feature of the game. ;. The Belfast
base ball club will probably play at Lewiston next
week. The club has had liberal offer to play at
Bangor July 4th, with the Colby nine but arrange
ments have not yet been perfected.

Why They Mourn.

Morrison, Carlisle, Watterson Il Co. have
few sympathizers in this country, but acros,
the ocean, and even over the Canadian border
they lind many to mourn with them over the
defeat of their horizontal tariff bill. This is
natural enough. Americans could not be eN-
pected to grieNe over il measure designed 10 rc
duce wages and iDuriously affect the industries
Of this country; While the British manufactur-
ers and their allies would of course Jcplorc the
defeat Of Il bill devised for their especial bene-
lit. But the st. John Globe is positively libel
lous when it says that the Morrison bill ''chrys-
tailed what public opinion in he United States
desires in the way of tariff reform" This state
ment is rdiculou>ly untrue. The bin was in
no sense a reform measure. and the fact thai il
was defeated by both Republican and Demo
cratic votes shows that il was not acceptable TO
either party or sustained by puzzle sentiment
Indeed. all that WAS claimed for the bill by one
Of is most ardent supporters was that it was
''the first tirE step in the direction OF free
trade" and it was thi, tendency that enlisted
for it the SYM athie> Of British Journals The
Globe is equally At fault in assuming that the
Morrison tlll would have effected "a reduction
Of the unnecessary aud heavy burdens Of taxa
ton imposed upon the American people," 1t
means. OF course. that it would have effected
reduction in the revenue from imports; but the
best authorities say that it would not have had
thi> effect. The increased imports under IA low
ertarit would have kept Up the revenues w hiIc
the money 10 pay for imports would be taken
largely from home manufacturers and 90 out
of The country The Globe would naturally
like TO ,ce this. and We do not lind fault with it
for cspou>in@ The cause of the British manu-
facturer. 1t would be surprising if it did not
take that -.e Of The question. And on this
side Of III" line we conceive it to be equally our
duty to defend American interests against t|e
attacks Of Democratic free-lradcl> and their
British allies

Ior IN that body His personal character was
beyond reproach, he maintained a standard of

everything that savored of the demagogue. In
public affairs he was never swayed from his

duty, and crcled his life by his public abors.
