An Explanation.

In our editorial. What the Official
Figures Show" III last weeks AMERI-
cAx, we spoke of this congressional
district a. the second district when We
meant the third. We freely confess
that the error was not in ''the types,
''the intelligent compositor, or 1.-THE
proof-reader. but in the editor himself.
The mistake occurred in the concluding
paragraph Of the article in question and
the last thing we did before writing
that paragraph was to make some fig
ures on the second district; with this
matter fresh in our mind we inadver-
tently spoke of the second district about
which we had been figuring instead OF
the third district of which we were
writing, and did not discover the error
until it was TOO late to correct ii.
Lapsus calami is the proper name OF our
offense. and TO that we plead guilty.

Well Done, Maine,

We can afford to smile at the efforts of
our democratic friends and their third party
adjutsnts to extract some comfort from the
returns from Maine. 1t is good bracing
autumn weather, and the efforts and the ex-
ercise may do them good The republicans
do not need 10 hunt for consolation in the
figures. They may congratulate themselves
on several very comforting conclusions.
First the mean mendaeity of the machine
prohibltionists has not seduced any great
number of republicans from their allegiance.
Their boasts that they would kill the re-
publican party" and build up their own con-
glomeration on it's ruins, have come 10
naught Their assertions that the cause Of
temperance is as safe with the democrats as
with the republicans have been given the lie
BY the staunch temperance voters OF Maine,
and the democratic prohibitory tender cuts a
sorry figure in the returns.
The next cause for congrstulation is that
a verdict so emphatic has been rendered on
the case of the People VS.. sham Reform
Administration. The humbuggery of the
Cleveland coterie and his hypocri,icai allies
has been branded by loud popular verdict.
Never was there so brazen a mixture OF cant
and corruption, Of promise and violation, Of
preienee and sham, as is shown in the his
tory Of the present administration. As in
Vermont. so in Maine the dispensing OF ad-
minstra,ive patronage was in the hands OF
political swag distributors, and it was farmed
out with an ofiensiveness unparalleled in the
history of spols. Chairman Brown, who
was the prime manager of the campaign,
was so notorious in his Office broking that
even the administration was forced to recog-
nize its Objectionable character, and while
the offence was not removed it was partially
covered up. The navy department was run
in the interest Of the democratic candidates
with SIS much etfrootery and openness as
though this we're not an administration Civ
en- to constan, prating Of reform sentiments.
But the people were not deceived, and they
have stamped the administration with the
brand Of fraud.
Finally the people have pronounced the
49th Congress guilty Of infdelity TO the best
interests Of the people. On the fisheries
question this verdict is specially emphatic.
On the question Of protection to American
industry, which was put 20 the front in the
campaign. Maine has given a ringing de
mand for the RELOCATION of iree-irade meas
ures to the limbo of the Congressional
waste basket The 49th Congress with its
financial unsoundness, its anti protective
tendencies, its hostility 10 the interests Of
our commerce and our fisheries. is pro-
nounced unworthy Of confidence. Ii is no
hating verdict. II is square. emphatic.

San Domingo's Revolution.

The revolution in San Domingo is still
raging, but continues to be confined TO the
interior. Were it not for the stagnation Of
business. visitors at the seaports would not
imagine that anything unusual was taking
place. No one is heard speaking publicly
about the revolution, unless it be some gov
eminent agent circulating lies. People who
sympa,hize with the revolutionsts have to
keep very quiet, because openly expressed
sympathy with the Moyistas will almost in
evi,ably lead TO prison. The prisons at the
seaports are all full. Ex-President Gregorio
Billini and his brother Hippolyto, who was
Dominican consul in New York for some
time, are prisoners at the capital. They are
closely confined. and are allowed TO see their
friends (subject 10 the approval Of the gov
ernor) on Saturdays only. Sometimes this
rule is relaxed.

cred the temptations in business life as sag
gested by the downfall of Mr.. Gould. Rev.
DIR. Bashford called attention to the fact that
it is not possession but the desire for wealth
that is root of all kinds Of evil. The cal
danger is in aiming at possessions instead of
character, fatal mistake that is as appliea-
bic TO the poor as to the rich. Among the
temptations he instanced false standards of
living, dong business according to the Gus
toms of the time instead of according to the
demands of justice in each case. Rev. Henry
Blanchard brought out three points for the
consideration of young men: That business
life is part of the plan of God for the edu-
caten of His children on the earth; that
every young man owes to his employer that
service which he alone can render who feels
it his duty to be interested in his employers
welfare that young men in business life
must not make haste to be rich. "Specula-
ton" he said, sis simply gambling and the
men who engage in it are not business men
but gamblers, the foes Of genuine business
men. Some men live as if they believed
that the Deity did not dwell in beaeheries
or mills or banks. They seem to think that
He does not reside in Canada"
