How do They Like the Situation?

The first session of the first Congress I'M
der the Cleveland administration is rapidly
drawing TO close, and we trust that the So
called independents, who made the possibili-
ty of that administration and House of Re-
presentatives a reality, will take good look
at the results of their work and ask them
selves how they like it. They said that they
were dissatisfied with the republican party.
But when in the twenty-four years of its pow
er did the republican party ever make such a
mess OF it? When did i. ever show such alb
snlute incapscity TO deal with prominent is
sues? There has been from last December
till now a lamentable lack of policy. There
has been an increase OF expenditures. a mis-
ch;evous meddling with the great business
interests of the country, threatening the in
tegrity OF public faith, and the stability and
safety of our national banking system. The
administration of abe department OF Justice
i under cloud of scandal more disre-
putable than ever before passed unreouked
and unpublished The foreign policy of the
administration has been such that for months
we have meekly submitted to insults when
ample power has existed TO have prevented
them The civil service has been so operated
as to evsde the spirit and force of law ex-
pressly enacted for lifting it out of the do
main of mere partissnship, and this has been
done while the hypocritieal pretence of de-
votion to evil service reform has constantly
been made. Men who fought to save the
Union from the attacks of treason and re-
bellion have been ruthlessly turned out of

The Business Situation.

There has been an increase in building
operations thus far during the year, the
total value for which permits have been
issued in twenty-five cities being sos, 900,
600. against $4,000. 900 for the CORES
ponding period last year. The total bank
clearings at twenty-nine cities for the
week ending Saturday. amount to S741.-
7l2,542, as compared with Sa25, 404, COS
last week, and with 74l,754, 206 in the
fourth week in July, 1885. The total
earnings of twenty-five Western and
Northwestern railway companies during
the third week July amounted to g.. 1885,
o6o this year, $2,05l 900 last year, and
$2,049 900 two years ago. The gain is
not so large as it appears owing to the
cut rates of q year ago. The total number
of failures reported at Bradstreet's last
week is l62, against 1874 the week before,
1S4 last year. i99 in 1884, 1855 in 1888. and
122 in 1882. Canada has -, against 10
last week and Is last year. The total in
the United States this year to date is 6lSS,
against 70l5 in like share of 1885, 6ls6 in
1884, $3.50 in 1888 and APPS in 1882. On
the whole, the outlook presents many
favorable indications.

The Democratic State Committee.

We find in the New York Star, the
Cleveland organ of that city, letter from
a Portland correspondent in relation to
"Maine Politics. The writer extols Mr.
Clifford for his wealth and social standing.
and intimates that the Kittery Navy Yard
will be factor on the democratic side, as
has already been well understood, not
withstanding the reform doctrines of the
administration. Branching off into dis
cussion OF the general politics of the State,
the writer makes the following
statement concerning the inefficiency and
bad character OF the Democratic State
Committee:
The democrats Of Maine are working to
much disadvantage owing to the personnel OF
the State committee. Its members were
chosen when the democratic party were out
of power, and had been out for twenty-five
years. No one of the more Industrious OF the
party cared to struggle hopeiessly against re
publican rule and they allowed the conduct
of affairs u fall into the hands of lesser lights,
who proved irresponsible. Brown, the chair
man, Is in disgrace for accepting brides from
wouid-be Maine pOsImasters, and several
of the members were in the Garcelon coun-
Gil, which cJmpassed the State steal some
years ago. They do not receive the support
Of the leading democrats. These men will
conduct the fall campaign, as the new COM
mittee chosen at the last State convention
does not take Office until January.
1t will be noticed that this description
of the Democratic State Committee comes
from the hand of some prominent demo-
crat. He attempts to account for the poor
character of the committee by asserting
in substance that none of the better class
of democrats would accept place upon
it, and 50 it fell into the hands of the pres
ent irresponsible incumbents. The chair
man, Brown, he speaks OF as being Sin
disgrace for accepting brides from would
be Maine postmasters, and many others
are mentioned as having been connected
with the Garcelon State Steal. They do
not, he says, receive the support of the
leading democrats.
This pen picture of the leaders of the
democratic party in this State, drawn by a
democrat, we copy for the benefit of all
those who are ignorant of the character OF
those who are now leading the democracy
in Maine. 1t is a faithful work, and
will be generally endorsed as such by the
better class of democrats. Under such
leadership crushing defeat to Col. Ed
wards and his party is certain. The DEM
ocracv must unload their State Committee
or be terribly swamped in September.

A Washington special says: 1.-The OPP
position to President Cleveland in the
democratic party is plainly centerlng upon
Governor Hill of New York. This is the
general sentiment of the politicians on
both sides at Washington. The elbow
out" at Boston last spring in honor OF
Hill was the first straw pointing ont the
direction of the political breezes in New
York. Since that time the leaders. not
only in New York but in other States. like
Indiana. have been setting things up in
the way they want them to go. Within
the past few weeks there has been con-
siderable activity among the friends OF

positions of trust to make room for those who
fought to destroy the government, and have
firm seat in the saddle. Every promise made
during the campaign of two years ago has
been unredeemed, every pledge ofreform fall
sifed- The better times promised the coun-
try have not come, the purer administration,
the juster enforcement of the laws, the de-
crease of she burdens of taxatien, the econo-
my in public expenditure, are all unrealized.
We trust that those responsible for the pres
eat state of affairs, for the uncertainty in
business circles. for the contradictory coun-
sells in public affairs, for the continued de-
preston of great industries, because there
has been incompetency to propose remedies.

now on the eve of a congressional campaign,

Burlington (VermonD Free Press, that
can be achieved by a political prohibition
party, in any republican State, is to break
down the republican party. When that
is broken down the party that steps into
