Our Californian Visitors.

The visit of the California delegates is a nota-
without saying that every Maine man, of what
ever shade or kind Of politics, feels sense OF
local pride on account of the object of the visit
and the distinguished honor paid to a distin-
guished fellow citizen 1t Is something new in
the history of Maine to have a nominee for the
highest Office in the land and to have delegations
from the other side of the continent coming
with congratulations. Then, too, the occasion
calls particular attention to the career of that
State and section whence the visitors come. 1t
is not very far in retrospect back to days of 40.
Thirty-ive years is a short time in the life of a
nation, and there are many men vet in their
prime who participated in the excitement and
adventure of the period following the Califor-
MIA gold discoveries. California was then al
most an unknown wilderness. San Francisco
had scarcely 200 inhabitants. 1t has grown in
the short space of Il third of century into a
rich and populous State. with great future
yet before it, while older localities have been
almost at stand still. California is good eX-

THERE has never been a tine IN
the history Of the Republican party,
when it was within three months OF
a Presidential nomination-as 1t Is
now-that there was so few surface
indications Of empowering interest
in the coming event. Usually there
has been. at least six months before
the convention, heated discussions
as to the strength, popularity and
availability of prominent men, news
papers have flaunted the names OF
their favorite candidates at the head
of their columns, and the people
have been urged TO rally to his sup
port. The din Of preparation, and
the shout Of clansmen filled the land
and the noisy vehement advocacy OF
favorites was unceasing. Now, there
is an almost preturnaturalc calm, and
save for the occasional little boom
let, attempted to be STATED for a per-
sonal favorite, there are but few
open indications of public interest
in the coming nominations. The
shrewd observer will, however, dis
cover under this apparent calm, an
intensity Of feeling never before
known to the masses. But little
thought is given to the candidate, Il
is the momentons result of the com
ing contest that has given them
pause. All the business interests oI
the country are at stake. their weaI
or woe are in the balance, and hence
calm thought, not personal prefer.
ences is controlling the popular
heart. Measures, not men, Is the
watchword, more truly now than il
has ever been, and if the nominee bt
a truly representative man, with
clean hands, and pure record, and he
is fairly and honestly nominated
we believe the people stand willing
to accept and elect him.

IT appears to be conceded on all
hands, by both the great political
parties. that New York is to be the
battle ground in the coming cam
paign. Both parties will nominate
Presidential candidates whom it Is
believed can carry this pivotal State,
and the Democrats are admitting
the vitality of this fact, by bringing
to the front Samuel J. Tilden, whom
under no other circumstances would
they think of ofnominating. Ofcoursel
there are other close and doubtful
States where bitter struggles will be
carried on. but it seems to be ad-
mitted that the party carrying New
York is almost certain OF success,
and this is going to measurably con-
troll the nominations of both par

WASHINGTON, February 27.-Ma-

sci for James Mutt in his trial for
the murder of Dukes, has sent a let
ter to the Post Office Department
asking for the appointment of Miss
Lizzie Mutt, as postmistress at Un-
iontown. The fight for the vacant
position there has been continued
almost as long as the struggle for
the Philadelphia Pension Office, and
the belief is growing that it could
not be settled amicably by giving it
to either OF the contestants. Major
Brown takes this view Of the affair
and suggests Miss Mutt as the COM
promise candidate, adding that she
is in every way competent for the
position, and that her appointment
would meet with the approval of the
community.

ExOrbitaut Funeral Bills.

WASHINGTON, February 29.-Tbe
house Committee on Accounts yes
terdav determined to reduce the
undertaker's bill of $50 for the fu-
neral of the late d. C. Haskell some

scale of expenses for funerals in the
future, beyond which amount the
Sergeant-at-Arms will not be allowed
to pay. 1t is also proposed to pay
bills shortly after they are made.
Parties claim that their high charges
in the past have been due to the
fact that they have been compelled
to wait for months and sometimes
years before payments for services
rendered are made. The undertaken

The Highlapders carried the next
earth work, capturing three guns.
AT the end OF four hours of arduous
fighting the British gained posses
sion OF the rebel camps, of the huts
and the wells.
The cavalry on the right flank
charged the retreating rebels, who
did not bolt, but struck the troops
who rode among them, giving blow
for blow A splendid display OF
heroism was made by three mounted
rebels. They resolutely maintained
their ground against the shock OF
two cavalry regiments before being
cut down. They continued to fight
after the third charge, killing several
soldiers and wounding Colonel Bar
row with their spears. The enemy
retired slowly and in consequence OF
this the British kept up their firing
for long time after the fortunes OF
the day had been decided.
General Graham decided to re-
main at the wells of Teb Friday
night. The intention was to con-
time the advance to Tokar this
morning. More fighting is anticipa-
ted. The spoils taken from Baker
Pasha were in a large measure re-
covered.
A telegram received at the Wal
Office states that four officers of the
English forces were killed. A later
dispatch from General Graham says
that nineteen officers received
wounds, including Baker Pasha and
Colonel Burnaby, both of whom
were severely wounded. Nine hun
dred of the enemy's dead were
counted in the captured positions.

THERE is class of gentlemen in
this country who apparently believe
that they enjoy monopoly of the
virtue. honor, honesty and goodness
which is generally thought to be
well distributed throughout the
land. They are just too pure and
good for anything, and hence they
think they have the right, as they
have the disposition, to manage af.
fairs for the people. A year since,
they undertook to administer the
business of the Republicans of New
York and of this State, by debating
to their conventions, and failing of
success, they threw their goodness
into the scale with the Democrats, to
defeat the nominees of both conven-
tons. Their success in this instance
brought them no present reward,
and the Aftermath. neither credit
nor renewn. Somehow, the COM
mon people took it into their heads
that it was treacherous, not honora-
BILE, to overthrow from sheer spite,
the party they failed to control in
cenvent;on, and therefore these vir-
tuous gentlemen have not since oc-

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION,
SeYen Men Severely IDju red at Lon
don.

LONDON, February 26.-Shortly
after one O'Clock this morning a ter
rible explosion occurred In cloak
room at the Victoria Railway Sta
ton, in London. The explosive
agent was undoubtedly dynamite.
A large portion of the 1901 was blown
off and nearly all the glass work in
the station was destroyed. Seven
men were sent to the hospital with
severe injuries. Extensive damage
was done to the surrounding proper
ty.
Two reports accompanied the ex-
plosion. the noise being like that OF
the discharge from cannon, and
was followed by an Immediate rush
ing OF flames.
The booking office, cloak room
and waiting room were completely
shattered and are u confused mass
of debris. Luckily, all trains had
ceased running, and only few per
sons were about the station.
LONDON, February 26.-The ex-
plosion at the Victoria Raj way Sta
ton this morning shattered the win
dows of the Metropolitan Under
ground Railway Depot, sixty yards
distant, and the fronts of houses for
the same distance in other directions
were badly damaged. The Victoria
refreshment room was wrecked, and
clock eight feet high was blown
from the wall ana thrown six yards
away. The streets in the neighbOr-
hood were completely strewn with
broken glass. A large force of po-
lice and 4 fire brigade quickly reach
ed the spot and quenched the fire,
thus saving the depot.
Colonel Majendie has critically
examined the ruins. La his opinion
the explosion was due, not to gas,
but to some powerful compound.
The cloak room was filled with lug
gage, but the officials did not notice
any suspicious package. The report
is current that the parcel left In the
cloak room was intended for use
against the House of Parliament to-
night, and that it exploded acci-
dentaliy.
An officer who is acquainted with
dynamite WAS passing about the time
of the explosion. He FASTENED to
the spot, and on entering the book
ing office detected the smell of dyn-
amite. The theory that the explo-
sion was caused by dynamite gains
further confirmation from the fact
that the greatest damage was done
laterally.
The iron railing guarding the
stairs near the cloak room was snap
ped assunder and twisted into gro
tesque shapes. 1t is believed that
ten pounds of dynamite would have
been sufficient to cause the damage.
Only two persons were injured, and
they slightly.
The officials of the railway dis
credit the idea that the explosion
was the result of private malice, as
the cost of the material would deter
a discharged servant from thus re-
taliating. 1t is generally attributed
to the persons who caused the ex-
plesion in the Praed Street Station
Of the Underground Railway some
months ago. While clearing away
the debris of the Cloak room a tin
box was found The damage caused
by the explosion is estimated at a.
600.

political synagogues. But goodness
and virtue and honesty are ever ac-
tive, they cannot be suppressed,
neither can they be pent up In the
human heart, they will burst into
activity for the benefit of suffering
humanity, and accordingly we find
the cream of the gentlemen who en-
body all the virtues, assembling itself
in the city of Brooklyn last week,
for the purpose Ct kindly providing
in advance, a suitable candidate to
be nominated by the Republican
party at Chicago, when the oppor-
tune moment arrives. We mildly
suggest to these amiable gentlemen
that in 1860, and in 1868, similar
attempts were made to provide can
didates and principles in advance OF
the conventions, and that despite
their doctrine of foreordinatlon, the
people took the bit in their teeth and
ran away with all the lovely plans

people are not saving much just now
but they are doing their own think
