COLLECTOR CHASE MUST GO.
(Kennebec Journal)

One of our exchanges says: Democratic
Revenue Collector Chase of Maine, who was
concerned in the Garcelon count out conspir-
acy, has retained his Republican deputies in
order to carry favor with the civil service re-
formers until his nomination is confirmed by
the Senate" We trust Collector Chase will
not be saved by any means mentioned. His
Republican deputies had better resign and
get out at once rather than have this load
placed upon their shoulders.

The Democrats are plotting desperately to
defeat the return of Senator Sherman. If
the Senators returned from Hamilton county
are permitted to take their seats the Repub-
licans will have majority Of but four on
joint ballot The Democratic managers
have all their fine workers at work to
break this majority. The have already at
tempted to debauch two of the Republican
members by money. One of them approach
ed David Stewart, mechanic who has been
elected from Licking county, with an offer
that if he would resign he would be given
place in Indiana or Canada with $1,000
year and two years salary in advance. He
rejected the bride with indignation. Offers
of different nature have been made to
other Republican members-elect. Mclean
has apparently given up all hope of securing
his own election and is devoting all his
energies to the defeat of Mr.. Sherman.

Parson Downs still continues to hold forth
in Boston Music Hall. Sunday he paid his
respects to the Secretary of the Baptist For
eign Missionary Society whom he denounced
as hypocrite and to the Baptist Watchmau
(newspaper) which he described as villain
oussheet He wound up his service by baptiz-
ing several candidates who had declared to
him privately that they never would have
been converted had it not been for the scan
dial. The discourse was a mixture of bias
phemy and billinsgate, and took greatly with
his audience which was composed chiefly of
the same elements that helped to open Slug
ger Sulliyan's saloon year or more ago. The
parson seems determined to brazen it out
until the penitentiary claims him when he
will probably make hasty departure to
Canada.
The yarn about the Townly estate has
started on its travels again. OF all the
stories Of this character the Townly story
contains the rrest- falsehnod and the least
truth. information of deep import to the
Chase heirs comes from California 1t seems
the British Parliament has voted to distri-
butte $S0,000,000 among the members of that
family. We may expect that it will be an
nounced shortly that 500, 100000 or SO are
waiting in the Bank of England for the
Weber heirs. These stories about huge
estates in England awaiting American
claimants are apparently immortal. It is
impossible to kill them. Their falsity has
been exposed over and over again. Never
theless they live, and American claimants
still continue to contribute their dollars to
send lawyers abroad to search for what can
not be found and what could not be got if it
could be found.

The Portland Argus, following in the
wake of the Lewiston Gazette declares in
substance that the members of the Garcelon
Council were indicated by the election of
Gov Plaisted in 1880. William NJ. Tweed,
after his robbery of New York was exposed,
was elected to the Assembly, and he claimed
that he was indicated thereby. Tweed's
claim had good deal more to support it
than has the claim of the Argus in the case
of the Garcelon Council, because Tweed HIM
self was elected, whereas none of the Garce-
lon Council were elected to office in 1880, on
ly man whom the members of that Council
voted for Does the Argus and Gazette take
the ground that Tweed was indicated by
his election? And if not, why not? Does
the Argus take the ground that the election
of Gen Garfield in 1880 indicated the men
whom it, in common with the other Demo-
cratic papers of the country, charged with
counting out Mr.. Tilden in 1876, and if not,
why not? Where do the Argus and the Ga
zette draw the line in this indicating bust
ness.

Jay Gould said that he had been in the

there" he said, 81 was credited with doing
things / did not do, and as l had iclosed up

panies, he further informed the reporter,
were doing we'll Missouri Pacific had no
floating debt, and had $4O.0O0,0oO of good Sc
curities on hand. Manhattans business was
growing constantly. Western Union, with
reduced rates, was making about as much
money as the year before, and had "got
through buying up new lines" He hadn't
ANYTHING to do with any underground or
''arcade" rapid transit schemes; didn't in
tend to have. He didn't believe Mr.. Van
derbilt ever owned a share OF Manhattan
stock. Wabash would take care of itself;
the success of the reorganization was as
sured. He hoped, after New Years, to get
off for four or five months cruise on his
yacht, possibly to Rio. After his return he
and George would devote themselves to TAX

The North American Review,

The January number of the North
American Review is an excellent
one. 1t presents no very famous
names among its contributors, but
it offers a wide variety of unusually
readable articles. We are now so
safely over the crisis of the preSi.
dental election that men of all par
ties can consider calmly Bishop
HuntingtOn's essay on "Vitupera-
ton in Politics." and it is to be
hoped that what they learn from il
will not be forgotten four years
hence. Under the title, "rhe Re
united South" Henry Watterson
presents with great clearneSS the
Southern and Democratic view OF
the political situation as it now
stands, This also is extremely in
teresting to every citizen, whether
he agrees with Mr.. Watterson or
not. Another question of universal
concern, which some think will
soon make itself a national issue, is
that Of labor and its compensation
aud Col. Hinton, i'm "American
Labor Organizations" shows with
what equipment it will take the
Dut tIldI lIi6
airy reader will first turn to is Fred
eric Harrison's brilliant and incisive
discussion of "Froude's Life of
Carlyle )" while the religious or
philosophical reader will find in
Courtney's Socrates, Buddha, and
Christ" specific statements and
quotations of those parallel doc
trineS that are so often vaguely al |
luded to. For the scientific reader,
Mr., Proctor discusses learnedly |
'Herschel's Star SuFveyG," and |

Libel Suit

he NtthdrawS the indianapolis sentinel
Libel Suit.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 18th 1884,
The following is Blaine's letter to
his attorneys instructing them to
dismiss the case against the Indian
apolis Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1884.
To Messrs. Harris, Miller and Elan, Coun-
selors at Law:
GentIeInen-When 1 requested
you in August last to bring suit
against the publishers ca the Indi-
annapolis Sentinel for libel. / did so
in the belief that the wrong done
me by the paper being entirely of a
personal and domestic character,
could be fairly tried without undue
influence from political cOnsidera-
tiOns. | confess l was profoundly
amazed to find the matter at once
taken up aud the libel reproduced
with all possible exaggeratiOn in
every Democratic paper in Indiana.
Except from three members OF the
Democratic party, / never heard
that word OF dissent of disap-
prevail was spoken, while the great
mass of Democratic speakers, re-
peated the libel from every stump
in Indiana with vituperative ran
cor, with gibe and ribald Jest. IL
was thus made, so far as any matter
of the kind can be made, an issue
in an exciting political campaign,
and the Democrats of the State were
thoroughly poisoned in their minds
in regard to the question to be deci-
ded under such conditions ii issim-
ply impossible that can have fair
trial or that l can expect any other
result than that which informally at
tends a political libel suit growing
OGt of an exciting campaign in the
country. If | were unfair enough to
desire jury of my own partisans,
1 could not have ii. A properly
constituted jury in Indiana would
be composed of members OF both
political parties in about equal pro-
portion.
When visited Indiana, in OctO-
Der, was repeatedly advised that
six Democrats could not be found
in the State, who in political suit
would give verdict against their
leading party organ. This did not
necessarily convey an imputation
upon their personal integrity as citi-
zens, but simply that the binding
of party prejudice would utterly
prevent an impartial consideration
of the evidence submitted. L am
perfectly able TO fight the Sentinel
newspaper in an Indiana court, but
/ would stand no chance whatever
against the consolidated venom oil
the Democratic party of the State.
With these surroundings and with
the prospect it is idle for me 10 go
through the trouble and annoyance
of trial. The questions PROFOUND
ed by the bill of discovery have
already been substantially and fully
answered by me, and am willing
to leave my written statement un-
der oath to the judgment OF the
public. l do not choose to have the
case indirectly concluded by tech
nicality, or suffer it to die in silence.
/ prefer to make this frank and
SOpen statement of the reasons which
induced me to believe that the prose
cutiOn OF the case would be utterly
fruitless.
Very respectfully,
JAMES q. BLAINE.
