The latest batch of stories about the Maine
Offices is that Mr.. Rust of the Progressive

gor; that the Hon. Bion Bradbury and the
Hon. Nathan Cleayes can have the two prin-

agree upon their distribution. The case of
the Augusta postoffice seems to be as far
from settlement as ever. One story is that
Morton has about made up his mind to with

is anything to stick to. Chairman Brown re-

When the Hon. Simon S. Brown, chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee, now
commorant in Washington, returns within
the borders of his native State, we trust the
Democracy will have the decency to give
him public welcome. Certainly he deserves
whatever honors the Democracy can bestow
Regardless of washing bills he has now
been in Washington two weeks or more,
working for the poor and lowly members of
the Maine Democracy who are anxious to es-
tablish themselves in fourth-class post offices.
The thermometer meanwhile has been up
among the nineties. Nevertheless Mr.
Brown has constantly exposed his great brain
to the burning rays of the sun, risking his
life it may truthfully be said, without expec-
tation Of any greater reward than grateful
remembrance at the cross roads post offices.
While Gov. Plaisted remained at the Capital
month, at time too, when the weather
weather was much more favorable for work
than it is now, and secured the appointment
of not one postmaster, Mr.. Brown has been
there only two weeks, and has secured the
appointment of a great number, as many as
fourteen in one day. This shows how much
bigger a man Mr.. Brown is than Gen. Plais-
ted, and how deep is the obligation of the
Maine Democracy to their chairman. We re-
peat that it is only decent when Mr.. Brown
returns, to give him public welcome. Let
the fourth-class postmasters who owe their
appointments to his proves meet him at the
New Hampshire line, and the moment he
steps over the border let them ask him to
take something.

The rumor that Judge Redman is likely to
get the Portland collectorship is giving the
local Democratic politicians great deal eff
anxiety. Yesterday there was hurrying to
and fro, and frequent consultations as to the
best method of preventing such calamity.
1t is understood that efforts are making to
fix up the triangular fight between Bradbury,
Anderson and Cleaves by getting one of
them to withdraw and the other two to come
to some understanding in regard to the col
lectorship and suryeyorship so as to relieve
the President from the embarrassment which
he is threatening to relieve himself from by
appointing Judge Redman. How much prog
ress has been made so far we know not
1t ought not to be difficult matter to get
one of them to withdraw, inasmuch as one of
them has repeatedly said that he was not
candidate against anybody else. But perhaps
his friends are holding him fast.

Michigan, some time ago, abolish
ed capital punishment. but has so far
failed to abolish homicide. Over one
hundred murders were committed in
that State last year. A large proper
tion ofthose convicted and sentenced
to the %peniteniiary for these murders
were pardoned by the demagogic
Governor BegoIe. This condition of
affairs prompts II of the journals of
that State to declare that there is no
commodity in Michigan so cheap rs
human life. Perhaps it will convince
the people Of Michigan that it is a
mistake to stop banging men for MUIR
der until men first cease to commit
murder.

Hooking valley is at last drawing 10
Il close. The men, driven to II last
extremity, suffering every privation,

by the strike, to say nothing Of the
