the DEMOCRATIC cAucusEs.

The Democratic caucuses in all wards but
four and FIVE appear to have been as quiet as
graveyards. Little balloting was INDUCED
in, and as rule the nominations were made
by reclamation or through committees
Most of the caucuses were only too glad to
find one man for each nomination, and when
they heard Of one they pounced upon him
by reclamation. In ward five however, there
seems to have been something of fight, and
curiously enough it grew out of the fear that
the caucus might take Mayor Deering at his
word Marshal Andrews. the head of the
| police force which was Teprimanded publicly
by the Mayor for offensive partisanship, was
there working in the interest Of Mr.. Deering,
spite of the fact that Mr.. Deering had pub
licly announced that he would not accept,
and at his direction the caucus instructed
the delegates to vote for the present Mayor.
Mr.. Spencer Rogers, who was first selected
for Alderman was forced to retire because
he was not acceptable to Mr. Andrews. In
was announced in the Portland despatch to
the Boston Globe of last Sunday that Mr.
Deering was not the man to refuse a nomina-
ton if the people demanded it. 1t begins to
look now as if the Mayors card of with
drawal was one feature of cunningly de-
vised scheme to make it appear that the peo-
pie had demanded it, and that Mr.. Deerlng
had been compelled to yield to their earnest
thtreaties. 1t is difficult to put any other
construction upon Marshal AndreWs,s per-
Torrance in ward five and his subsequent
visit to ward four where he urged several
Democrats to support Deering, assuring
them that he would accept if the nomination
was thrust upon him. The Mayor worked
substantially the same game last year but
not quite SO boldly. We have never had
doubt that Mr.. Deering could have the nomi-
nation if he wanted it. His letter to the Ar
gus yesterday raised some doubt as to
whether he would accept. That doubt is
pretty effectually dispelled, however, by the
action of the Marshal. The Old Man of the
Sea is still on the shoulders of the Democra-

We made pleasant days excursion to
Ventnor and Bonchurch. As we drove
along the miniature parks and tlowery lanes
the air was laden with the fragrant breath
of the honeysuckles. The very quintessence
of rustic and seaside beauties combine to
make these places perfect gems. Nature
has contributed flowers, lawns, ponds, and
picturesque coves; while mans enterprise
has improved the waste places and beauti-
fed the whole with artistic dwellings. On
the way we passed the Cottage Hospital
for consumptives, whose foundation stone
was laid by the Princess Louise. Her Ma
esty Victoria, has made this one of her
special objects of benevolence. The little
dwellings are built with double verandas
facing the sun, around a square with neat
chanel in their midst. 1t is charming home
for invalids There is also the Seaside
Home of the London City Mission, at the
foot of st. Boniface Down; here about five
hundred city missionaries are sent to recu-
perate for few weeks each summer This
latter charity was founded by Miss Hush,
who must have been close observer of the
work of these servants of the Lord to discover
their needs, when the public benefactors
generally have their hands full in caring for
the sufferers for whom these missionaries
labor.
We notice the Grab and Lobster Inn in
the village, where many jolly group of sea-
tarlng men has gathered around the CHEEKY
peat fires to spin their long yarns and drink
their cherry cobblers. In those days Yentnor
onlyiboasted few fifties of inhabitants who
drew their living out of the depths; and pos
sessed no rarer gems than the Ventnor dia-
monds, or pieces of transparent quartz
Astounding everywhere on the shore, which
are much like the diamonds on our own Dia-
mond Island
There are several large and rather fash
ionable hotels; but none, where style and
dress make the standard of social status.
There are many quiet Pensions where peo-
pie of refined tastes and unconventional
ways can enjoy the summer with perfect
freedom. M. G. p. 3.

The wayside well beneath the hill
A nIln Of Mafar in his name


From twenty or more hotels built under
the cliff we chose for our temporary abode
the Royal Spa" The house is delightfully."-
arranged, both for summer tourists and win
ter invalids. The whole front is a vast con-
servatory where grape vines are trained over
the posts and under the glass roof, the sides
are filled with towering shrubs and rare
plants. In this leafy bower the boarders can
look out upon the wide expanse of waters,
while they sip their tea, write letters, play
billiards or are lulled to sleep by the sing
ing Of Gagged birds and the music of the break
ing waves. Here the little people found their
hearts delight in seeing royalty, as Her
Serene Highness, Princess of SAKE Weimar'
with five little princesses all in row, were
our daily companions at breakfast.
There can be no finer spot for those who
are fond of sea bathing than Shanklin. The
sloping sandy shore absorbs the heat of the
sun, keeping the water warm through the
whole day. From early dawn till late at
night, when the moon lends her lamp, the
beach is alive with bathers The houses are
set upon wheels and drawn into the tide by
horses, when the bathers can plunge into
where one can disrobe, everybody must pay
a fee for the privilege of bathing.
We admired the good common sense shown
by the English in the matter of dress. The
ladies wore simple flannel suits, and the
gentlemen coarse Scotch knickerbockers, so
they were always ready for a tramp, a game
of tennis or row. On the whole it was the
most sensible crowd we had ever seen.
The English mammals never burden their
little ones with starched ruffies and broad
sashes; but dress them in the most rigid
simplicity. There may be very practical
reason for this, inasmuch as they are blessed
with so many young olive plants. AS we
seldom saw a single baby carriage we Won
dered at the great number of twins in this
country; but scanning the wingless cherubs
closely we soon found the willow wagons
generally contained one in long robes and
one little creeping thing. 1t is no uncom-
mon sight to see John Rogers's family
filing in and out of church. All day long
hundreds of happy children, with sun-bumt
faces, and bare legs, work with spades ana
shoVels to erect all manner Of Notifications
10 DE washed away by the coming tide; ana
rebuild them the next morning with that
same unabated zeal that children everywhere
manifest in digging in the sand. The old
part of Shanklin is quaint, with its crooked
streets, ending IN dooryards, and its matched
cottages, with little windows peeping out
under the caves and whose doors ALWAYS
stand ajar, giving glimpses of queer little
keeping rooms within.

Dalton, the Democratic clerk of Hamilton
County, who refuses to deliver the returns
to the committee of the Legislature will prob
ably bring up in jail unless he reconsiders
his determination. The Democratic judge to
whom he appealed has decided against him
and now his case has gone to the Supreme
Court with the almost certainty that the de-
cision of the lower court will be sustained.
A term in Jail he richly deserves, not only
for his refusal to deliver the returns, but for
his crooked work on them.

The present labor situation at Lewiston
according to Boston journal correspond
ent, seems to be different from what peo-
pie generally understand. The Knights of
Labor repudiate all responsibility for the
continuation of the strike. The blame rests
entirely upon the loom-fxers, who refused to
accept the decision of the Knights, when the
matter was referred to them, and return to
work. This puts the relationship of the
Knights of Labor to the present difficulty in
a new and better light

Another revision of the rules in the House
of Representatives would not be amiss. I'm
der the present rules Friday is set apart for
the consideration of private bills, when
those having claims against the government
have right to consider that their measures
bers filed with long winded silver speeches
have adopted legislative trick to monopo-
lie the the time with delveraEce of their
burdens. The speaker does not seem to be
inclined to put stop to the practice under
an exercise of his power as presiding officer,
and apparently nothing but another "revis-
ion" will do any good.

Inc washington correspondent of the New
York Mail says that Ex-Governor Hubbard
of Texas who was appointed Minister to
Japan by President Cleveland, asked free
passage for himself and family, seven per-
sons in ALL and free freight for his household
goods from San Francisco to Yokohama on
the Pacific Mail steamers, and this courtesy,
representing more than $4,000 was given
him. At the dining table he made free with
the wine list, ordering Sauterne of the best
quality for breakfast, claret for lunch and
champagne for dinner, and besides frequent
Nv ordered stimulants at other times of the
day, of which he invited his companions to
partake. When at the ond of the week his
wine bill was presented he not only a5So-
lutely refused to pay, on the ground that he
was the guest OF the company, but abused
the steward for insolenee. The bill was not
paid, but he did not order any more liquors.

The School Committee find the pupils in

from seven to twelve years should have de-

ing power, and it is not desirable that they
should At that age they should be taught
facts chiefly, some years later will be time
enough to set them to searching for the

city. We fear the Argus is hypocrite.

The committee on ways and means of the
National House have divided on the subject
of the treatment of the cash surplus in the
Treasury Mr. Morrison, with majority Of
the committee, reports in favor of using the
surplus above 900 in payment OF the
public debt. The minority, under the Lead
ership Of Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt oppose the
Morrison report very earnestly, regarding
its conclusions as unwise and unsafe. The
arguments presented by Mr.. Hewitt and his
colleagues on the committee are in accord
with the views of the best financial authori-
ties Of the nation, but it by no means fol-
lows that the Democratic House will not fall
into line with Mr.. Morrison.

The idea has generally prevailed in the past.
and possibly more by farmers than others, that
for the business of farming but little intellectual
training was necessary. A willingness to work.
on in the old routine, that has been transmitted
from the practices Of the past, was all that's
could be safely relied on for success This mar
row view, bern and kept alive by ignorance
only, is mistaken fallacy OF the past, fast DYING
out, rather than the sentiment of intelligent,
present thought The agriculture OF to-day iS
not based on manual labor alone. The education
Of the mental faculties as well the training of
the hand to work skilfuliy, is recognized al als
essential Ia fitting for the life work Of the farm.
Upon these, intelligence and labor combined,
rest the hope Of progress IN agriculture. AND
yet it may be questioned if farmers fully appre@
ciate the value to their children of home train
ing and education in the work and in the busi-
ness of the farm. Each year there 60 out from
