The Maine colony is once more settling
down in Washington. Chairman Brown.
Judge Cleaves, and the Hon. Benjamin
Bunker are already there, and the Hon.
William III. Clifford is going. There is to be
another effort or series of efforts made to
clean out what Republicans still remain in
office in the State. One conference has been
had with the President and numerous others
are TO follow. The trouble arises from the
too great abundance of candidates. For the
Bangor collectorship there are four-Messrs.
Stratton. Pearson, and Connors, and that old
war horse, the Hon. James Rawson. STRAIT
toms chances at present are supposed to be
the best. For the Bangor post office, Messrs.
Bliss, the manager of the Western Union
Office, Owen and Cummings are candidates,
with Bliss in the lead. General Leavitt will
probably get the Eastport collectorship,
though Robert Burns is making bitter
fight for it. Mr.. Moore is booked for the
Waldoboro collectorship and Mr.. Walker
will probably get the Lewiston post office.
What scheme Chairman Brown has adopted
for paying the expenses of this trip has not
been diyulged. He probably won't indulge
in any more of the circular business

better mayor than it usually enjoys will
belong TO Mr.. George. 1t is scarcely possible
that Mr.. George can be elected, but his vote
will undoubtedly be large-large enough to
convince the political managers that the
preferences of the laboring men must be
looked upon with good deal of Difference
in the selection of candidates in the future
Though personally an able and honorable
man, it is to be feared that Mr. Georges
election would be productive of good deal
of mischief. Every Socialist in New York
city would look upon 1t as a triumph of his
peculiar views, and the doctrines which
have already led to riot and bloodshed in the
West would be given new impetus. 1t is
doubtful, too, if his election would be profit
able to Mr.. George himself. He has been
making good many promises in his cam
paign. and has held out good many hopes
which would be impossible of realization
even if he were elected. Before he had been
in Office year his followers would be con-
trasting his promise with his performance,
and the result could hardly fail to vastly
diminish his prestige with the laboring men.

Mr.. Z. A. Perry, the London correspon-
dent of the Boston Herald, telegraphs that
it is the general belief in government circles
that Russia does not intend to occupy Bull
garia and that her demonstration at Varna
is simply to frighten the Bulgarians into
submission. Undoubtedly the Car will ex-
haust every other resource before actually
invading the country, but if armed invasion
becomes necessary he probably will not
stick at that, unless Germany and Austria
threaten to take a hand.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
hastened the breaking up of the constitution than
Catarrh The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of
hearing the human voice, the mind,-one ormore,
and sometimes all, yield to its destructive infu
snce The poison it distributes throughout the
system attacks every vital force, and breaks up
the most robust of constitutions. Ignored, be-
cause but little understood, by most physicians,
impotenty assailed by quacks and charlatans,
those suffering from it have little hope to be re-
lieved of it this side of the grave Its time, then,
that the popular treatment of this terrible disease
by remedies within the reach of all passed into
hands at once competent and trustworthy. The
new and hitherto untried method adopted by DIR.
Sanford in the preparation of his RADICAL CURE
has won the hearty approval of thousands. 1t is
instantaneous IN affOrdng relief in all head colds,
sneezing, snufiiing and obstructed breathing, and
rapidly removes the most oppressive symptoms,
clearing the head, sweetening the breath, restor-
ing the senses of smell, taste and hearing, and
neutraliZing the constitutional tendency of the
disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.

A TEST CASE.
Albany .Innrnal

The removal of Martin l. Townsend from
the district attorneyship of Northern New
York to appease the spoils element of Buffa-
10 promises to be one of the test cases of
Cleyeland's administration. Mr.. Townsend,
as an office holder, not only lived up to the
letter of the civil service law, but to its very
spirit, even when viewed from high Mug
wump standpoint. No complaint can be
made against his discharge of official duty.
The plea of i'll health won't work, especially
when the cabinet are taking massage to re-
duce their weight, 1t would have been as
reasonable to remove Grant from his military
position after the all Of Vicksburg as to put
forward this pretext against Mr.. Townsend.
President Cleveland'S administration has the
monopoly Of hypocrisy, not of health. Janus
faced, the President is looking both ways
for denomination. With him consistency is
a jewel only when it brightens his chances,
while his friends assert that his inconsistent
cy is sign of his mental development. Per-
haps the famous saying has been reversed
and he fears a Trojan bearing gifts; at any
rate, our horse editor will wager that Daniel
Lockwood starts him again in 1888.

The accident to the steamship Pavonia
came near being serious one. Two large
holes were stove in her bottom and her
pumps were not able to keep down the water.
Luckily the accident happened near port.
Had she been hundred miles off instead of
twenty-five it is very doubtful if she could
have been kept afioat until she reached Bos-
ton harbor. The ship was long distance
out Of her course, and her officers had entire
" lost their reckoning. Good luck still
seems to abide with the Cunarders.

Capt. Seth Nickerson, schooner
Lightfoot, of Clark's harbor, is a
truthful man. He seldom INDUCES
in anecdotes, but when he does re-
late one you need not fear to repeat
it. He says that while his crew
were clearing away last Saturdays
catch, fifteen miles off the Cape, a
queer looking protuberance was
noticed on the head of Goldfish
which they were dressing. 1t
proved to be horn button three
quarters of an inch in diameter,
such as are usually worn on oil
clothes. 1t was embedded beneath
the skin, fair on the top of the skull,
whence the touch of knife readily
dislodged it. There it was, as per-
feet every way as when it did duty
likely enough on some poor fellows
jacket which went down with him.
But how in the world did the fish
pick it up and manage to adorn his
brows with it? Capt. Nickerson
says he meant to save the fish's
head, but boy cut it off and
threw it overheard while the others
were examining the button Cape

A SAD COME-D0WN.

In the little town of Lodi two
young men started a newspaper
some months ago, which was to
make their fortune. Across the
front of their publication building
they had painted in letters two feet
high the words Valley Revie,o, the
name of their journal. But in time
their venture failed, and they had
to give up. Now the word Reuieso
on their sign has been blotted out,
and in its place the word "Saloon"
substituted, so that the Valley Re
yieac has become the Valley Saloon.
The change cost but small amount
of labor, but what fall it indicates!
a building that once sent forth
public journal for the enlightenment
and education Of its readers, has
now become place of corruption
and vice. From a moral standpoint
the change is sad to contemplate
but undoubtedly more money crosses
the threshold now than ever in days
of yore.- Chico Enterprise.
