The Canadian Commissioner of Customs
has published a statement to show the falsi-
ty of the charge against the inhabitants of
Campobello and adjacent islands, that they
were guilty of plundering and otherwise
maltreating the citizens of Eastport at the
time of the fire. 1t win probably be as diff
fcult for him to prove that none of the
Islanders plundered as for the people of
Eastport to show that all of them did There
was probably some plundering, as there is at
every great fire, but the extent of it does not
appear to have been great enough to warrant
the stir that has been made about it.

Ex-senator Mcdonald says there is good
deal Of disappointment with the administra-
ton in Indiana, and this dissatisfaction, he
thinks, explains the Democratic defeat in
that State. The trouble grew out of the
Presidents attempt to enforce the civil SER
vice system. When, where and how did the
President ever undertake to enforce this
system in Indiana? Aquilla Jones still
fourishes in the Indianapolis postofice, and
Holman's postmasters who worked for him
like beavers still retain their offices. If there
has been any civillseryice reform in Indian
apOlis it has been of the mildest type. The
Hoosier Democracy are too awfully sensitive

1t looks very much as if the Indiana Dem
ocrats had been putting up scheme to steal
the legislature of that State by methods sim
liar to those employed by Mackin and his
gang to steal the legislature of Illinois.
There is United States Senator at stake in
Indiana, as there was in Illinois, but the
p election of Harrison is much more important
to the Republicans than was the election of
Logan. With Democrat returned from In
diana the Republicans would hold the Sem
ate by two majority. But Mr. Riddleberger
could tie that body whenever he saw fit.
Riddleberger is Readiuster, with Republi
can inclinations, but he is addicted to the
habit of imbibing large quantities of cold
tea, and when cold tea is in him good sense
is apt to be out of him. If Harrison is re-
turned the Senate is in the control of the
Republicans beyond all peradventure.

Defects have been found in the election in
Ward 3, Manchester, which if allowed would
throw out the vote of that ward, with the re-
suit of returning Mr. Haynes, the Republican
candidate. to Congress- These defects con-
sist in failure to post the warrant at the
proper time, and the neglect of the clerk to
sign the returns. That is, they are purely
technical. They do not imply fraud. nor in
any way affect the fairness of the vote or of
the count. Republicans cannot afford to take
advantage Of them even if they have the
power so to do. A monopoly of such bust
ness as that should be left to the Democracy.

Indiana Democrats are a nice lot. Their
candidate for lieutenant governor having
been defeated and Republican elected they
are now proposing to contest the right of
the latter to his seat on the ground that
there was no vacancy. Before either the
Republican or Democratic convention was
held the lieutenant governor resigned to ac-
cept an office to which he had been appoint
ed by the President. The Democratic At
torney General of the State gave his official
opinion that this created q vacancy in the
Office Of lieutenant governor to be filed at
the next election. The Democrats accepted
his opinion and proceeded to nominate a can
didate for the office. The Republicans did
the same. The Republican candidate was
elected and now the Democrats declare that
there was no vacancy. 1t seems Gov. Gray
wants to go to the Senate, but if he should
be elected with a Republican i'm the chair of
lieutenant governor the latter would become
governor and the executive power would be
placed in the hands of the Republicans
How to get Gray into the Senate without at
the same time getting Republican into the
executive chair is the problem which the
Democrats are confronted with, and they
are trying to solve it by keeping the lieuten-
ant goyernor-eleet out of his office. To ac-
complish this necessitates the reputation of
the opinion of their own attorney general
and the action of their own State convention.
Nevertheless they are going to do it if they
can.

A SATURDAY HOLIDAY.

Mr.. Hill, the Governor of New York State.
recommends that Saturday be made legal
holiday, as well as Sunday. Probably this
would be a good way to satisfy the demand
of workmen for reduction of the hours of
labor. man after working hard all day, is
too often, more inclined to dissipation than
to recreation. The Saturday holiday would
afford better opportunity for healthful ram
bles in the country, or wholesome sport.

The Henry George party has come to stay,
II we may judge from the speeches of some
of its members at the iolifcation meeting at
Cooper Institute ON Saturday night. The
hall was crowded, and on the platform were
James Redpath, Father Huntington, Prof.
Scott, Col. r.. J. Hinton, Rev. Charles Nc
Carthy, ex-senator Ecelesine and several
other gentlemen of prominence All the
speakers spoke of the election of Tuesday as
practical victory for the laboring men,
though nominal defeqt. The Democratic
party. and its organs, especially the New
York World and News, were unsparingly
denounced One speaker said, ''the Demo-
cratic party used to be, or claimed to be. the
people party, but we have found out its n.y.
pocrisy" and predicted that the election of
Hewitt would prove the most expensive victo-
ry the Democratic party ever achieved. Mr.
Henry George was received with great en-
thusiasm and made speech Among other
things he said
We have brought great principle into Amer-
can politics. believe 1t is better for our cause
that we should go on Tor some time yet educating

world is yet wanting.

Gone to School.

Where is our merry-hearted baby?
How strange the silence seems
Where is helm the land of mischief,
Or in the land of dreams?
Tying the reins ON patient RoverP
Coaxing puss with spool?
All mel how slowly we remember
Baby has gone to school,
Here at home he began his letters,
Finished with x,y,z,
And conquered the multiplication table
As far as the three times three"
Then papa laughed, and suggested shyly;
Mamma forgets one rule;
Babies must learn to be more than babies,
And so they must go to school,"
Well we recall the September morning,
When our sturdy little man
Kissed us goodbye in the pleasant sunshine,
And the growng-up began.
Looking back, he cheerily shouted.
As we watched from the doorway cool:
Goodbye, folksesl I'll come and see you
By'mby after school,"
Many tale he finds to tell us,
Mingled in smiles and tears;
Bravely his heart goes out to the future,
Untouched by doubts and fears.
Yet we know life holds harder lessons
Than those from book or tool.
An time deal gently with us and baby,
Till we all are home from school,

for hundred centuries, when, as the
bill frankly admits, its mechanic
works " will have to be changed. The
face of the clock is about ten feet
square, and has large number of dials
and little inches, where one hundred
twenty-five little figures have their

shown. AT the same time the figure of
a child appears at lower door. AT
the second quarter youth appears; at
the third a middle-aged man, with spec
tacles and high hat, and at the fourth
a decrepit old wreck with white wig.
While all this is going on below, death,
in the shape of Comanche Indian
with wings, has been vainly endeavor-

gets the better of the struggle, strikes
the hour and bundles the old man off
into eternity. The twelve apostles are
trotted out each hour. Above them is
a figure of Christ, "who blesses with
both hands each apostle in passing" as
the bill states, with mathematical eX-
actness. AT morning, noon and night
a number of bell-ringers ring their re-
spective bells with vindictive energy,
and an old man drops upon his knees
as if some one had kicked his legs from

wonders, exposing the family secrets of

I'll tell you how a clever humming-
bird shielded her little ones from the
rain. There they were, a nestful, and
the rain beginning to fall. Near the
nest grew large leaf-it was butter
nut tree-and on one side of the nest
small twig stuck out. When the drops
began to fall she came quickly, and
with many tugs pulled the leaf over the
little nest, for roof, and hooked it by
the twig on the other side, which held
it firmly. Thus the half-feathered
babies were kept as dry under their
green roof as if their house had been
built by carpenter, like the sparrow
houses all around on the trees. When
the rain was over the mother came back
and unlocked the leaf.-St. Nicholas,

The Little Flower.

BY GRACE PEARL MAcoMBER, GRAND ISLE, W.
Down in the field, where the grass is green,
Grew modest little flower.
II grew alonej It bloomed unseen
within shady bower.
And by its side a brook ran free,
An oak lowered high on the other hand
The brook flowed onward to the sea,
The tree looked down on pleasant land.
The flower was sport for the stately tree,
Because II grew on the ground so low
The brook laughed loud in merry glee,
And the tree was glad at the wild.fowers woe.
And the oak looked down on the slender flower
And called on the winds to blow
And he triumphed then in his mighty power;
The brook felt safe in its rapid flow
But the wild winds ragged round the stately oak,
Till at last its life was spent.
And the falling boughs the brook did choke,
But the flower only bent.
And the rising sun, in its daily round
Looked down pitful sight
For the proud oak lay upon the ground,
And the brook had choked i'm the night.
But the little flower had lived In the blast
Low down in its grassy bed,
Twas happy then that the storm was past,
with the dew-drops on its head.
