The Troubles of Mrs. Sarah Zlmmer-
man.

Capt. A. II. Won Luettwitz, retired army
officer, with only one leg, has just been sued
before Justice Wilson by Mrs Sarah thinner
man for alleged attendance upon him. Capt.
Luettwitz boarded with Mrs. Zimmerman a
short time ago, and he says that all the attend
ance she ever rendered him was to occasionally
help him to go up and down stairs when his
Colored servant was absent. The same Mrs.
Zimmerman has entered suit against Repre-
sentative Geddes of Ohio, for SANDER. More
recently still she was charged by Capt, Luett-
witt with stealing his wooden leg, which prob
ably induced her TO bring suit as an Offset Ia

At the present time there are only three
candidates of any considerable strength in the
field for the Democratic gubernatorial nom
ination-theiHon. John B. Redman, the Hon.
d. H. Thing and Col. Clark S. Edwards. Ex-
MayorDeering' aspirations, if he ever had
any, have been knocked in the head by the re-
suit of the Portland caucuses. Mayor Ladd OF
Gardiner and Mr.. Taber of Unity have been
mentioned, but that is all. 1t is not probable
that they have any considerable strength 1t
seems to be generally admitted that Mr..
Redman can have the nomination if he in
sists upon it, but considerable part OF
the Democracy evidently hope that he Will
not insist Mr.. Things strength lies in the
fact that he is granger and high up in the
order Col Edwards, if nominated, will be
nominated because he was at the front fight
ing the battles of his country when the Maine
Democratic leaders were at home stabbng
their country in the back.

ArEMPEsr TEA POT.

The Sisters incident is closed. The cap
tain got his clearance papers Saturday night
and went on his way rejoicing, having suf-
fered nothing worse than few days delay
and an immense amount of interviewing by
the reporters. There never was anything in
the affair to make sensation over, and the
idea which has gone abroad that it was a
species of retaliation for the seizure of the
Adams and the Doughty had no foundation
other than in the head lines of excited news
papers. The cold facts were simply these :
The captain of the Sisters came into this
port without manifest; his attention was
called to his neglect by the Collector of the
port and he was informed that he was liable
under the statutes of the United States to a
fine of $500, but could apply to the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury for remission or re-
duction of the penalty The vessel was not
seized; the captain was not fined. She was
simply detained until the matter was settled
She could not sail without her register,
which was in the hands of the British Con-
sui, who could not deliver it until the captain
had received his clearance papers from the
custom house without subjecting himself to
heavy fine. 1t may not be generally
known, yet it is fact, that in matters OF this
kind the government discriminates against
American vessels and in favor of foreign
vessels. Had an American vessel come to
this port without a manifest, the captain
would have been obliged to pay the penalty
before he could apply to the Secretary of the
Treasury for a remission. The master of q
foreign vessel can ask for remission before
he pays the fine and does not pay it until the
Secretary of the Treasury decides that he
must. Such is the Treasury regulation, and
whether righteous or not, the customs
officials have to conform to it,
Cases similar to this Sisters affair have
frequently arisen in this port, and the pro-
ceedings in them have been identical with
the action in this case.

THE HARMONIOUS DEMoc-
RAGX

Sometime ago the Boston Globe editorially
announced that the Maine Democracy had
reconciled all their disputes and had become
a hand of brothers. working harmoniously
for the triumph of the principles OF Thomas
jefferson. A Bangor correspondent OF thaI
paper in yesterdays issue preaches a very
different doctrine According to him the
Maine Democracy are anything but harmonl-
ous. If the election were to be held to-mor-
row. he says they would be distanced on
account of the quarrels amongst their lead
ers. 1t seems that the principal bone OF con-
ton just at present is the management
of the coming campaign. The enemies
of Chairman Brown want him dumped,
and a resolution will be introduced
into the State convention, taking the man
agement of the campaign out OF the hanaS
of the present committee and placing u III
the hands of the one to be chosen at that
gathering. This, the correspondent does not
think, will be passed, but, he adds naiVely'
that it would be great relief to the Demo-
erats if Mr.. Brown would step down and
out of his own accord. Another thing
that is still troubling the Democracy
is the fact that they have not succeeded
in getting the offices to the extent they de-
sire They thought that when Cleveland
was elected the Offices would be put into
their hands to parcel out as they saw fit, but
though more than year has elapsed since
he was inaugurated they are still irritated-
or 'grieved," for that the correspondent
says expresses exactly their state of mind,-
at seeing some of Mr.. Blaine's friends in
office and Mr.. Blaine himself appar
emily possessing gooddeal of influence with
the administration.

The conviction of Most will prove useful
lesson to fellows of his ilk, among whom the
impression has grown up on account OF the
tolerance which has been shown them in the
past that as long as they refrain from overt
acts the law cannot reach them, no matter
what they may say. 1t will open their eyes
to the fact that melting to murder and arson
is crime punishable under existing laws,
and that the public has come to the conclu-
sion that it is about time that these laws are
enforced. We venture to predict that here
after there will be much fewer public pro-
fessors of anarchy. Like Most, they will

Mr. Gladstone has definitely expressed his
intention in the House of Commons of post
poning the home rule bill after it passes its
second reading until some future time That
a majority of the house is likely to support
this programme is clearly indicated by the
efforts of the opposition to stave off divi-
sion on Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's motion
which was practically a condemnation of
Mr. Gladstone's statement.
The Portland daily press., 1886-05-31

The Knights of Labor are working to pre-
vent strikes and boycotts for inadequate
cause. The power of the local assemblies to
order them on their own account, which was
exercised with such disastrous results in the
case of the Missouri Pacific, will probably
,-be taken away, and committed to the State
executive board in case of local strikes and
to the National executive board when
the strike or boycott is likely to affect the
order generally. This plan will be great
improvement over the present one, and un-
der it undoubtedly the number of strikes
and boycotts will greatly diminish. But it
would be better if the Knights would abol-
ish the boycott altogether. 1t is foreign
institution, and reduced to its lowest terms
is nothing but an attempt to coerce men by
theatening injury to their persons or proper
ty. The Knights would be stronger in the
long run without it.

The House has passed the oleomargarine

Among them was one to extend the proyis-
ions of the bill to watered milk, sanded SUI
gar, glocose syrup. artificial honey, shoddy
cloth, paper-soled shoes, etc. Another pro-
posed tax of $1,000 on manufacturers of
