was the result of the installing OF United
States troops for Indians, had been cooked
mp to csver what was really case of wanton

General only short time ago, why in the
world was he willing that a suit should be

suit against the Bell company might afford
favorable occasion for selling out Pan Elec-
tric stock.

The President is credited by gentleman
who has talked with him with making the
best defence of Attorney General Garland
that has yet been made. Mr.. Garland should
persuade him to make it public, for the de-

If ever there was righteous strike it was
the recent one of the New York horse car
conductors. Though the roads have been
paying very large and constantly increasing
dividends, the employees wages have been
kept at the lowest possible figure, and their
hours of work increased rather than dimin-
ished. The strikers succeeded and everybody
in New York except the holders of stock in
the road. appears to be glad of it.

The time is near at hand when the Repub-
licans must select candidate to be sup
ported at the coming municipal election.
Mr. John II. Fogg, the nominee of last year,
and who no doubt would again be accorded
the nomination with substantial unanlmlty,
has, it is generally known, refused to allow
the use of his name, so it becomes necessary
to look elsewhere. The Republican party
affords abundant material for an unexcep-
tionable candidate, one who can be relied on
to poll the full strength Of the party. 70
select such man is to ensure success; to
select any other is to court defeat.
AS has been the case for several wears past
the enforcement of the prohibitory law will
be one OF the prominent questions involved
in the election, and the candidate is sure to
be closely scrutinized with reference to his
attitude on this point. The great majority
OF Republicans are temperance men, and if
they do not all believe in the wisdom of the
prohibitory law, they all do believe that
while it is on the statute book it should be
stringently and impartially enforced. They
have no fellowship with rumselling, and
they cannot be induced to support any man
who has. To assume that they will support
anybody simply because he heads the regular
ticket is to fly in the face of oft-repeated ex-
perience. The Democratic party may be
safely trusted to do that, but the Republi-
can party is made of different stuff, and to
secure its support the candidate must have
something to recommend him beyond the
fact that he has succeeded in capturing the
nomination. Neither can Republicans be
easily duped. 1t will be practically impos-
sible to disguise any movement so effectually
that they viii not be able to detect its real
intent and significance.

The Albany Journal gives some figures
showing the marvellous growth of Bell tele-
phone monopoly. Bell applied for his
patent February IA, 1876, scarcely ten years
ago, and he is already millionaire several
times over. On the same day, only few
hours later, Prof Gray of Chicago, sent in
his application. The patent was granted to
Bell on the ground Of difference in time and
not because Of difference in the merit of the
claims Bell exhibited his telephone at the
centennial where it was regarded by most
people as an ingenious plaything rather than
continuance of practical utility. Bell or
gained his company in 1877, and the follow
ing year the first telephone exchanges I'M
der his patent were established In 1870
the new method of communication began to
be considered necessity and the company's
business became very profitable. Its capital
stock in December, 1884, was 1924, 000, 900, and
last year an application was made to the
Legislature of Massachusetts,, in which State
the company was chartered, for an increase
to $30,OO0,000 The company's receipts from
rentals for the year ending March /, 1885.
were 81, 100000, and the net earnings 81, no.
900. The first dividend was not declared
until January, 1881, but up to January, 1885,
the stockholders had received $4,000, 900 in
dividends. The original investors in Bell
telephone stock paid only from $40 to $40
per share. The stock has been increased
seven times and the shares are now held at
$50 EACH An original holder has now
eight shares for every one he first owned
and what he paid say $50 for is worth 1900.

There is no sign at present of a comprom-
Use between the agent of the Bates mill and
the Knights of Labor The latter as con-
dition precedent to any arrangement insists
that Dalton the loom-fXer shall be taken
back. This Mr.. Pratt peremptorily refuses
to do 1t is to be hoped certainly that some
solution of the difficulty may be arrived at
that will reopen the mill before long. The
turning adrift of 1900 men and women in
midwinter the great majority of whom prob
ably have nothing to fall back upon must Of
necessity be productive of good deal of
suffering and distress A little more moder-
alton on the part of the Lewiston Knights
of Labor who of late have been carrying
things with pretty high hand would con-
duce greatly to such result. Cancellation
on one side is pretty certain to induce con-
Citation on the other while threats are just
as certain to be met by resistance.

THE LEWISTON POLICY.
Boston Journal.
OF the right of workingmen to organize to
secure fair treatment and fair wages there
can be no doubt But no labor organization
can afford to stand for the compulsory ac-
ceptance of incompetent labor or to present
itself as the embodiment of irresponsible
tyranny. The workingmen of New England
are men who think, and they could not and
would not endorse-c certainly in their indi-
vidual capacity-such policy as has been
adopted in Lewiston. No injury which la
Dor suffers at the hands of capital approaches
in injustice or in serious results the injury
suffered at the hands of the avowed friends
OF labor, when hundreds of people who are
able and eager to work are not allowed to do
so because single incompetent workman
has thrown up his work or has been DIS
charged.

When Daniel Webster had influence with
the administration, as the popular phrase
goes, the opportunities of office seekers
caused him great annoyance. Even in his
off-days at Mansfield the hungry and thirsty
came to him with monotonous regularity.
Desiring to avoid giving them otfense and
wishing at the same time to escape their an
noyance he finally hit upon a scheme which
proved a great success He bought the fast
est sailboat along the coast, and ten o'clock
in the morning would find him standing
out Of tho little Marshfeld harbor, with
his cod lines, all ready Ior days fishing.
When the office seeker called the servant
could truthfully say, Gone fshin. /" The
office seeker Of those days was as persistent
as his descendant of today. He would imme-
diately hire a boat of the nearest fisherman
and, sighting Mr.. Webster's boat riding at
anchor at the fishing grounds, would head
her in that direction. When within short
distance the statesman. apparently not
noticing the office seekers approach, would
man the halyards, pull up the anchor, trim
in the main sheet and stand out to sea. The
difference in speed being in Mr.. Webster's
favor it was graceful shake. There is no
patent on the Websterian plan and moth
ing, except possibly the weather, to prevent
Collector Anderson from trying it.
