We observe disposition on the part of
some of our esteemed Democratic contem-
poraries to make a martyr to the cause of in
dependence in politics out of the Hon. War
rem 81. Vinton of Gray, who was arrested
some time ago on charge of owning hotel
in which liquor was sold. The grand jury
failed to find an indictment against him and
he was discharged. Naturally he was elated
at being a free man again and wanted to let
his friends know how good he felt He ac-
cordingly wrote letter to ths Argus in
which after congratulating himself at his es-
cape he suggested that his prosecution was
probably due to the fact that some years ago
he ran as an Independent candidate for gov
ernor, receiving 2e9 votes out of total of
$4,000 This was SO absurd suggestion
that we supposed it would excite nothing
but derision. As, however, some of the
Democratic papers have swallowed it it may
be well to call their attention to the fact
that the man who swore out the warrant
against Mr.. Yinton is a Democrat who hates
the Republican party as bitterly as Mr.. Vim
ton, and that the trial justice who committed
him to Jail is the man who ran for sheriff OF
Cumberland county on the Vinton ticket in
1882; while the county attorney who had
charge of the grand jury which conferred
freedom upon him is Republican. If Mr..
Vinton has been prosecuted he has certainly
not been prosecuted by Republicans.

The Maine Democratic colony in Wash
ington have about exhausted themselves on
the subject of Morton, and are now turning
their attention to the United States dis
trict attorney and marshal. They are charg-
ing that these officers have put parties ar
rested to unnecessary expense by bringing
them from Bangor to Portland. We pre-
sumo that the case they are relying Oh is the
same that the Bangor Commercial made so
much ado about, namely, that of a
young girl who was arrested at Bangor on
charge of tampering with letter and
brought to Portland instead of being taken
before commissioner in Bangor, as the
Commercial said she ought to have been.
The facts in the case were that the girl was
arrested On an Indictment found by the
Grand Jury, and of necessity had to be
brought to Portland where the court was in
session. Neither the attorney nor the Unit
ed States marshal had any discretion in the
matter. 1t was case United States COM
missioner had no jurisdiction over whatever.
The PRESS published the facts in the case
at the time, but the Commercial took good
care not to give them the benefit of its cir
culation.

is very doubtful if the New York law which
provides for the punishment of any person
who abets an attempt at suicide, can be con-
strued so as to cover the case, because Cd
lam, though his leap resulted IN death, did
not contemplate suicide, but on the other

The Massachusetts legislature has before
1t bill to exempt soldiers and sailors from
the operation of the civil service law. A
similar bill was recently defeated by the
New York legislature. In neither case does
there seem to have been any demand for
such measure on the part of its beneficial
ries. On the contrary the general sentiment
among the soldiers and sailors seems to be one
of opposition. The fact is that the self-re-
specting men among the soldiers and sailors,
who constitute the great majority, resent the
imputaticn which underlies measures of
this kind that they are inferior in ability or
requirements to others. The men that orig
mate them are not soldiers but politicians
and their sole purpose is to catch the soldiers
votes. But the soldiers are generally too
sensible 10 be caught with any such chaff.
What the soldiers demand they ask in the
name Of justice, not charity.

No man who is dumb can ever hope to be-
come successful base ball player. It makes
no difference how well he can catch ball or
strike ball or pitch ball, if he cannot talk
he is no good. The prime essential of base
ball player is ability to talk necessarily.
What he talks about or how incoherently is
OF no particular consequence, provided he
talks. The louder he can talk the better,
and If he is able to talk SO as to make him
self obnoxious to everybody within the sound
of his voice he is certain to become distin-
guished. Boys who aspire to become men,
bers of professional base ball clubs either as
players or managers should bear this in
mind and assiduously cultivate their lungs
and vocal organs. The less they cultivate
their manners the better.
