a refuge.
WILL THE MAINE DEMOCRATS PLEASE AN
swER?

The Globe says that Collector Pillsbury
had little or nothing to do with the counting
out-conspiracy in Maine. The Post says
that Mr.. Pillsbury was active on the right
side, and was approved in the next election.
Which Plllsbury organ is right?
YES, LET IT BE WAVED.

We find no trace of yindictiveness either
IN his speech at Lebanon Tuesday evening.
He only calls attention to undisputed facts of
most vital interest to the people of the whole
country, and sectional animosity is more
surely created by the suppression of the facts
than by their calm consideration. tits GER
tainly Important they should be considered,
and if this be waving of the bloody shirt
then by all means let it be waved"
THE GARDINER MUNICIPAL JUDGE.
Gardiner Home Journal
Those who best know the man and all the
circumstances of the case, were best fitted to
judge of his honesty and of his fitness for
the place. The number and responsibility
Of the petitioners for his appointment, and
the men who have known Mr.. Larrabee
through his whole life, are a sufficient refu-
tation of any and all the attacks that have
been made on him, and best sustain the
course of Governor ROBBIE in appointing the
man the people asked for.
CONDITION OF GIVING.
Macon Telegraph
The South, as soon as her cotton money is
in hand will not hesitate to contribute a
round sum for a Grant monument, if it will
be understood that the gift is made through
respect to our new found brothers who sell
us such excellent goods on reasonable time.
But it does not want to place itself in the po-
sition of officiously striving to erect in New
York, under the peoples noses, monument
that no considerable number of people there
seem to desire.
OUR QUEER NEIGHBoR.
Providence journal.
The Canadians are queer people, take it all
round. For instance, they will not allow
Canadian tug to assist vessel in distress in
American waters, nor an American vessel to
rescue endangered sailors on the Canadian
shores. But this brutality of law is hardly
surprising in people, who punish an unreg-
istered physician for ministering to the sick
that would be otherwise uncared for. 1.-THE
law" Numbered Solicitor Toddleben, ''the
law! Damme Sir, the man who is such a
fool as to get into place where the law
works him harm deserves to suffer for it.
They ought to have more sense"
CREOLE REAL AND IDEAL.
New Orleans Times-Democrat,
1t is proposed this year Cat the New Or
leans Exposition to get up thoroughly rep
resentative creole exhibit that will show the
visitors here the domestic life and arts of the
creoles; which will show the history of the
race in Louisiana from the days of Bienville
to the present time. Such an exhibit is GER
tain to be attractive and interesting to stran-
gers. All of those who came here last win
ter were DESTROYS of making the acquain-
lance of the creoles, of learning something Of
them and their home life. Such an exhibit
will give this information, and at once ban
ish from their minds the idea that the creole
of Gable is the creole of reality.
