The delegation from st. John seem to have
got scant comfort from the Canadian govern
ment in the matter Of a winter port for sub
sidized line Of steamers. Sir John Macdon-
aid knows that Portland is the best port but
knows also that it is not well to do anything
to make himself more unpopular in the
Maritime Provinces on the eve of an cleo
ton. So he straddles the question after q
style that makes the Bluenoses feel bluer

George Ticknor Curtis, the attorney for
the Mormon church, proposes To the Secre-
tary of the Interior a new plan for abolish
ing polygamy. He urges that the men who
have plural wives, but are living with only
one, should not be molested if hey choose to
support their extra wives, but not to cohabit
with them. The older men of the Mormon
church sincerely believe in spiritual marriage
and to absolutely separate them from their
wives would be, according to Mr.. Curtis, an
interference with religious convictions
which is not justified by our laws. The
younger members of the church regard poly
gamy as permitted but not required by the
divine law, and consequently very few of
them have married more than one wife. Mr..
Curtis says I'VE have only to exercise little
-patience and refrain from persecution and
we may look to see polygany die natural
death at no very distant day."

The village of Pittston is experiencing a
difficulty very often experienced in places of
its size. The villagers want better protec-
tion against fire; but the farmers don't want
to help pay the bills. 1t would seem very
plain that village, if worth .anything to a
town, is worth preserving from fire. The
farmer reaps advantages enough from the
neighborhood of village to repay him for
the slight Increase in taxes which would be
needed to give protection against fire.
There is such thing as saving at the spigot
while it leaks at the bunghole,

The Dominion Of Canada has popula
ton of four and half millions, not includ
ing Indians. This is less than the pop,
ulation of the single State of New York, ard
but little more than that of Pennsylvania.
Yet since 1878, when Sir John Macdonald's
government came into power, five hundred
million dollars have been expended, and the
Dominion has today debt of $31S, 522, 695.
BY this immense expenditure great improve
ments have been made, including that stu
pendous undertaking, the Canadian Pacific
railway. But can a people hardly more
numerous than the Pennsylvanians, and not
nearly so rich, afford such improvements !?
This is question to be settled at the next
election.

HE HAD BETTER NOT-HE HAD
BETTER NOT.

The Boise Democrat menacingly
intimates that the Hon. George Aims
lie, former delegate to Congress
from Idaho, will take an active part
In the campaign, this year. If the
Mormon Democrats know what is
good for them, they will request, they
will beg, they will insist upon, the
gentleman named to not only refrain
from taking the stump, but to keep
still, yes, still as mouse. --.s'
Owing to the well-known fact that
Mr.. Ainslie, while in Congress, was
a most willing tool of the Mormons,
he was strenuously opposed within
his own party when he sought re-elec-
ton. The Mormons, which then as
now controlled the Democratic party
of Idaho, insisted upon nominating
him. In consequence of this open,
avowed attempt of the Mormons to
''force him down the throats" of the
people there was split in the Demo
cratic ranks which resulted in the
election of the Republican candidate
va large majority.
Mr.. Ainslie and his Mormon friend:
spent the church money lavishly ant
did all they could to stem the tide o
popular Indignation, but Intellectually
The more they worked in this direc
ton the more the opposition increased
until the close of the campaign when
for the first time in the history o
Idaho, a Republican was elected te
Congress.
If Mr.. Ainslie takes the stump Thu
year all the old charges against hin
will be brought UP, and the result will
undoubtedly be disastrous, and justl
so, to the party that has always pan
dered to and upheld the vicious, de
moraliziug, damning practices of tn
Mormons. .'a
Looking at the matter from
Democratic point of view, we there

WHAT 1t MEANS.


The election of Hon. George Aims.
lie as Chairman of the Democrat
ic Territorial Central Committee Of
Idaho, is an act which says, in effect:
ave, the Mormons, still control the
Democratic party of Idaho; and in
order that there may be no misappre-
hension on this point, We force this
plant tool of ours down the threats Of
our partisans.
That is what Mr.. Ainslie's selection
means. There can be no doubt about
this. And the honest, selfrespect,
ing Democrats who broke away from
their party four years ago, rather than
follow Mr.. Ainslie's leadership, must
either accept it now, or-bolt. Will
they have the manliness to do this
We believe that they will.

MR. MANNING's MISSION.

The explanation of the rumor that Secre-
tary Manning is to be sent to Vienna as Min
lister to Austria is that man is needed in the
diplomatic service who would be capable of
profting by the knowledge he would gain of
the financial operations of European countries.
1t is confessed in behalf of the representatives
of the United States already appointed to the
several courts Of Europe that none Of them is
the peer of Mr.. Manning in this direction, and
that some man of his kind must be sent
thither forthwith. This is scarcely compli-
mentary to the honorable gentlemen who are
now at London, Berlin and Paris, for it is to
be presumed that they men of ordinary
intelligence, and since it is further explained
that Mr. Manning would not attempt to in
terfere with the finances of foreign powers
which, it must be confessed, is very con-
siderate of him-but would content himself
with merely observing such things and re-
porting the same to this government, it is diff
ficult to understand why it is that some 9th
or gentleman could not do as well. The puz-
zle is all the more perplexing when it is borne
in mind that twas notlong ago that the adj
ministration had appointed to this post, which
is now regarded as the best for the observation
of financial movements, a man who could
scarcely tell bank draft from bill OF lad
ing 1t is possible that Secretary Manning
would succeed in Distinguishing himself as
much as has Secretary Bayard in his diplo-
matte operations with Mexico. Mr.. Manning
might do for Austria what he. has for this
country-have the form Of their debt state
ment altered.
