but he has Inundated them. Right on the
eve OF the new administration, when these
gentlemen who have been wandering in the
wilderness for twenty years were about to
march into the promised land, the Tabula-
tor has sent them to the rear Of the process
sion, and put political hybrid at the head in
the person OF Simon S. Brown. Only few
years ago Brown was Republican. Not
getting all he thought he deserved he be-
came Greenbaeker, and Gareelon made
him member of his council His knowI-
edge of legal technicalities made his services
10 the contingent conspiracy very valuable.
No doubt he will prove of great service to
the Tabulator in his new position.
Ii reports be true, the scene in the COM
mittee room when it became evident that the
Tabulstor and his Grsenbsekers were on
top could not be adequately described with
out larger supply of dashes than the ordi-
nary newspaper Office is provided with. The
air was fairly sulphurous. elimination and
recrimination were on every tongue. The
vote was eight for Brown to seven for Tor
rey, A. S. Klmbsll of Waterford not voting.
Mr.. KimbalPs performance excited good
deal OF denunciation. 1t is said that he had
agreed to support Cromwell, but afterwards
was prevailed upon by the Tabulator not to
vote at all. He is candidate for the United
States marshalship, aud his neutrality very
likely was due TO notion on his part that
by keeping out of the fight he could concili-
ate both factions. He will be disappointed.
The fight is rot yet ended. 1t will be re-
newed when the time for distributing the
patronage comes. Wilson aud Cromwell
swear that they will yet make the Tabula-
tors victory an empty lone. 1t remains a
fact, all the same, that at the present time
the Maine Democracy are in the hands of
Tabnlator Chase and his Greenback allies,
Simon S. Brown, Harris NJ. Piaisted aud
Charles Baker. The latter is somewhat I'M
known to fame at present, but bids fair to
shine in the future. He has been Repub-
lican, Greenbacker and Mugwump-every-
thing in short but Democrat.

Tabulator Glasses Victory.

The resultsof the contest over the chair
manship of the Democratic State committee
demonstrates anew that the biggest frog in
the Democratic puddle in Maine is Tabuls-
tor Chase. The Tabulator laid the founda-
ton of his present greatness some years ago
when as . member of Garcelon's council he
assisted in ths attempt to steal the State.
Previous to that time he had been local
celebrity merely. Now his name is feared,
If not honored, by all Democrats from Kittery
Point 10 Quoddy Head, and in the near fu-
turs he 10 destined to assume national i'm
pcrtauss. Last sumnsr the old line Demo
Gratis succeeded in somewhat loosening his
grip upon the organization, and thew were
hattering themselves that when the new
committee met they were going to throw
him OF altogether. The fayorite way of
putting it about here was that thew were
going to Spank" him.
Well, the meeting has come and gone
and whose flesh is it that is tingline?
Not certainly the Tabulator's. The Tabula
tor is serene, and his counlenance wears ar
expression of the deepest satisfaction. And
well it may. Not only has he defeated al
the old time leaders of the Democracy
men like Torrey and Cromwell and Wilson

Al last the Illinois legislature has

At last the Illinois legislature has made
some progress Haines, the same man who
sometime ago was elected temporary speaker
of the house, and attempted to stick, has
now been chosen permanent speaker. The
house, therefore, 10 now organized, and the
recently elected State officers can be inau-
gurated. The settlement Of the Senatorial
contest is, however, still far of. Under the
law the first vote will be taken in the two
houses separately week from next Tues
day, but before the matter can be settled, a
vote must be taken in joint convention. Ow-
ing TO the illness of one of the Democratic
senators, on joint ballot the legislature is
now Republican by one majority. Until the
senator RECEIVERS sufficiently to occupy his
seat, or his successor is elected, the
Democrats will probably succeed in staving
on joint convention by tilibustering.

Egypt and Babylon. From Sacred and
Pro'ane Sources. By George Rawlinson,
M. A., Camden Professor of Ancient Histo-
ry, Oxford, England. New York: Charles
Seribner's SoDs). The Biblical references to
Babylon and Egypt are diligently compared
by Rawlinson with those which abound in
profane authors from Herodotus down, and
shown to be corroborated in almost every
instance where comparison is possible. The
fate of Egypt and Babylon as represented
to us in Scripture offers a remarkable con-
trast. Babylon is to 'become heaps" to be
"wholly desolate - ''not to be inhabited.n
Egypt is to be "base kingdoms" "the bas-
est of the kingdoms" but still to remain
kingdom. 1t is "not to exalt itself any more
above the nations" il is "to be diminished,
1t is no more to have ''any rule over the ma
tions," or to be the confidence of the house
of Israel" But it is to maintain certain
position among the powers of the earth, a
certain separatsness, certain loic consider
alton. This is exactly what has been the
general position of Egypt from her conquest
by Cambyses to the present day. Under the
Persians she was sort of outlying kingdom,
rather than an ordinary satrapy. She ire-
quently revolted and established tempora-
ry independence, but was soon coerced into
subsection. During the earlier portion of
the Policeman period she rose to considera-
BILE influence and prosperity, but was never
more than second rate power. Rome
made her province, but with certain sep
arateness, under peculiar regulations. I'm
der Aohammedans, whether Arabs, Sara
Gems or Turks, she has still, for the most
part, been secondary, either an actual de-
tendency on some greater State, or at any
rate overshsdowed by rivals of superior
dignity.
Atheism in Philosophy and Other ESSAYS.
BY Frederick Henry Hedge. Boston: Rob-
erts Brothers). DR.. Hedge sketches several
leading systems and points out their prscti-
cal consequences, showing that the fatal OBJ
lection to atheism In Gil its phases ID the
moral protest which it slicits from svsry I'M
sophisticated mind. The objection regards
not this or that detail, but the fundamental
principle from which they result. 1t con-
Germs the whole system as contradiction of
eternal reason. Reason demands to see it's
reflection and antitype in nature. 1t de-
mands an ineligible motive and righteous
purpose in creation. 1t demands world
devised and presided over by reason and
tending TO good-a world whose source is
love, its method wisdom and its end bless
ing. Atheism fouts these just expectations
and repudiates these sacred claims, 1t
mocks the deepest and dearest convictions

About four years ago the United States
government purchased piece of land near
the Two Lights for lfe-saving station. The
land Is still held by the Government, but
nothing has been done toward building a
station. Already this winter there have
been six wrecks in that vicinity. The life
stations nearest to the Two Lights are the one
at Seguin and the one at Biddeford Pool, both
OF them obviously too far away to be of any
assistance in case of disaster at the Lights.
1t is TO be hoped the disaster of Wednesday
may hasten the building and equipment OF
the station whose necessity has SO long been
admitted.

The Nicaragua treaty has failed of ratif-
cation by vote of 80 in favor to % against,
not the necessary two-thirds. A motion to
reconsider was made. so that the question
can be called up again 10 the future. 1t is
probable two-thirds of the Senate are on its
merits favorable to the treaty. Considerable
OF the opposition was the result of feeling

There is lively squabble among the De m
ocrats in Washington county over the Passa-
maquoddy collectorship. The prominent
candidates are S. D. Leavtt and Robert
Burns. Mr.. A. McNichol of Calais who
was on the Democratic electoral ticket and
is expected to have great influence with the
incoming administration because he ilumin-
sted his house two nights 10 succession If
ter Cleyeland's election while the other
Democrats lighted up but once, is for Burns,
and therefore Burns is thought to have the
inside track.
