There Is great dissatisfaction manifest
of late among the Democratic and Assist
ant Democratic papers with the course of
the Administration. Even George William
Curtis, of Harpers Weekly, is getting II
little discouraged. He says;
We doubt If there is any general restor-
alton Of confidence in the democratic par
ty. The executive acts which have been
most disappointing to the independent
vote that supported the President are due
to the pressure of the party. Such APP
pointments as those of Pillsbury and Hig-
gins and Thomas and Rasin and Hcddcn
and Others and the dismissal of good off
GERS are attributed to democratic politi-
clans, not to public consideration of the
welfare of the service. The three mis-
takes to be designated in the first year of
Mr. Clevcland's administration are the
changes in the civil service without legit.
innate cause, although the number Is mncl
smaller than under any other administers
ton; the continuance of the Attorney
General in the Cabinet, and the refusal to
make public the reasons for removal

Mutual building associations, like that
which has been successfully operated in
Richmond for the past ten years, are
spreading through the State. BY the efforts
of Gen. Chas Hamln, such an organiza-
ton has been planted on firm basis in Ban
gor and applications have been received
for several loans, already, The associa-
ton undoubtedly will give great impe-
tus to BODYBUILDING in Bangor. Such
an institution is invaluable to any COM
munity. In the town of Richmond there
are to-day one hundred more neat houses
than there would have been but for the
building association.

The city of Portland claims S. 900 from
the county of Cumberland, which the
county commissioners decline to allow to
be paid. The SUN is the amount of police
officers fees for the service of dummy
search warrants" or warrants upon the
service of which no liquor was found.
The police regulations of Portland provide
that the policemen shall have a stated sal
ary and turn all these fees into the city
treasury. The county commissioners
claim that such an outrageous sum ought
not to be allowed for the service of use
less warrants, and charge the City Mar
shall with misconduct in office, for having
needess.y incurred such charges. City
Solicitor Symonds, at the request of the
Mayor, has given an opinion that the
city's only course is to ask the Supreme
Court for mdnddmus requiring the com
mssioners to allow the bills, as the coun-
ty cannot be sued for the amount till the
bills have been allowed by the commits
sioners.
