the ARGUS AND THE SOLDIERS.

The Argus and its new born zeal for the
soldier is stopping over. Yesterday it ex-
pressed the opinion that the people Of Maine
twill not insult a gallant soldier by refusing
him their suffrages at the polls" The gal
liant soldier" alluded to is Col. Clark S. Ed
wards, Democratic candidate for Governor.
Undoubtedly II a vote against Col. Edwards
implied condemnation of his conduct dur
ing the rebellion Col. Edwards would be
elected by large majority. The opposition
to him under such circumstances would
come entirely from the Democratic party,
and would be led by such distinguished Dem
ocrats as the Hon. Eben f. Pillsbury, who
stigmatized the Colonel during the war as
one Of "Lincoln's hirelings," and the Hen.
William 81. Clifford who pronounced Grant
an ignorant person and his administration a
sordid and corrupt personal administration.
The Portland Argus would also take hand
in 1t, just as it did when the gallant Cham
berlain and the gallant Conner, both of whom
certainly sacrificed as much for their country
as. did Col Edwards, were candidates and
advise every voter in Maine to vote against
him. But vote against Col. Edwards i'm
plies NO such thing, as the Argus well knows.
What 1t implies is that the people of Maine
still distrusts the Democratic party, and are
not willing to entrust the administration of
the affairs Of the State to the same gang
which few years ago sought to reverse their
verdict exposed at the polls by tricks that had
they been played in anything but politics
would have sent some Of them to the peni-
Tertiary, and which is now hiding tempora-
rily behind respectable candidate.

A Critic Criticised.

To the Editor Of the Press:

piece of literary criticism, that l am led,
for once, to depart from my custom of allow
ing all reviews of my writings to pass I'M

may sometimes appear. In the present case
am prompted to beg of you the favor of
inserting few words in reply; not merely
in justice to myself, but because | would not
see the legitimate province of literary criti-
cism disregarded, and its plane narrowed
and lowered to that of mere personality and
idle supposition.
The author of that review condemns the
book in question, not because it is bad in
itself, but because the writer is not able to
write something else. The something else is

one, and probably would make dead failure
if she did. am almost as sure of this as the

Our troops in the Southwest are now wag
ing an Indian war Of magnitude hardly
realized at this safe distance. First the
Apaches are in Mexico, and then in the
United States; and the chase has been most
exciting for months. The Indians can travel
about twice as fast as the troops who pursue
them; and so far what advantages have
been gained have been rather on the side OF
the savages. Geronimo's party is now
headed for Mexico again, after terrifying
the southern regions of New Mexico and
Arizona, and killing thirteen settlers. After
the Mexicans have had their turn he may be
expected back, unless the troops should be
