1t is little surprising, in view OF its deep
love for the soldier which it says began TO
spring up in its great heart before the PRESS
was born, that the Argus did not offer some
protest when Lieut.. Col FL. r. Millett, VINO
belonged to the same regiment as Col 70
wards and who bears the sears OF honorable
and arduous service, was unceremonlousiy
turned out of the Gornam post Office TO MAKE

mendation, if not his only one, was that ne
was Democrat; or when Mr.. Cyrus Z.
Berry, another gallant soldier, who also was
member of Col. Edwards's regiment, was
notified to step down and out of the Port
land custom house. 1t is an insult to the
soldier, according to the Argus, for anybody
to vote against Col. Edwards. Is it no insult
not even matter for mild protest, when TWO
members of Col. Edwards's siment as
worthy Of their country's gratitude as he,

This fishery dispute may not produce a
war, but it is prolific in remarkable stories.
Last week the astonishing information was
sent abroad that fish merchants in New
England were contributing fabulous sums to
help the seeessionist party in Nova Scotia,
the idea being that, secession once an ac-
complished fact, New England may gobble
Nova Scotia, Blue Noses, fisheries. Lans-
downe, three-mile limit and all. Yesterday
there came a despatch, hot from Ottawa, tell
ing that thattown was all astir over a report
that the Fenians contemplated an attack on
the Canadian frontier. The news of this
plot came from an officer of frontier
county who went to Montreal and displayed
'incontestible evidence" that the Fenians
were hard at work drilling for a raid, in
which they were to be assisted by the ''ag-
grieyed fishermen of Maine" The arming
of the Gloucester fisherman is in the nature
of confirmatory evidence, although the 'ag-
grieved fishermen OF Maine" have kept
pretty shady if they are making any prepa-
rations.
Our esteemed morning contemporary con-
trasts the ten hour plank in the Democratic
platform with the ten hour plank in the Re-
publican platform, and proceeds to inform
the people that while the Republicans have
recommended the passage of a law making
ten hours days work, the Democrats have
pledged themselves to pass such law. What
the Argus should try to do is to convince its
readers that the Democratic party will keep
its pledge. It will find a good deal of skepti-
cisR on that point that needs clearing away.
Past experience with Democratic pledges
goes to prove that they are quite as often
broken as kept The last Democratic Ma
tional platform pledged the party to econo-
my, but the present Democratic House of
Representatives has been so reckless in its
extravaganza as to call out even from the
Maine Democrats, who are generally ready
to swallow any dose provided it is admins
tered by their own party, an earnest protest.
The last Democratic platform pledged the
party to build a navy, but nothing has been
done to fulfil the promise. The same plat
form pledged the party to foster and protect
the interests of the laboring man, but not a
single measure has been passed looking to
that end by the present House, but on the
contrary almost from the day the House met
the most prominent OF the DemocraUlc leau-
ers have been engagedin concocting scheme
to cripple some of the chief industries from
which the laboring men of Maine derive
their living. Democratic promise is one
thing, Democratic performance is another
thing, andquite as likely to violate the prom
Use as to redeem it, And Democratic plat
forms are temporary structures made to last
only until election is over

The situation in these two states, Oregon
and Maine, may we'll invite the thoughtful
study of Republicans.
The Republicans in Oregon went wrong, and
a languid campaign and defeat followed. The
Republicans of Maine have tried to be earn
estly and aggressiVely right and the result
is that they enter upon their canvass with
enthusiasm and confidence, and the evident
support of the people gives them a reasona-
BILE certainty of victory. That the same re-
suit viii follow the same causes in other
states and in the nation is as sure as any po-
litical event of the future can be.

Though Congress- has been sitting since
December, but one appropriation bill has
reached the President. The plan of distrib-
uting these bills among various committees
has not resulted in the prompt reports ex

have been the elimination of Mr.. Randalfs

The right of women to have a share in the
making Of laws which they are compelled to
obey and in spending the money which they
are obliged to contribute cannot be success
fully gainsaid. Women do not enjoy the
suffrage now simply because the great body
of them have not cared enough for it to de-
mand it, When they ask it they will I'M
doubtedly get it, but men are as rule too
gallant to thrust it upon them against their

There promises to be skirmish in the
House of Representatives this week between
the committee on labor and the naval COM
mittee One wishes to urge measures drawn
up in the interests of the workingmen, and
the other the appropriation bills for the navy.
Both the workingmen and the navy merit the
attention Of Congress. The only difference
seems to be that Congress is likely to help
the navy, while the labor measures are ex-
pected to help the Congressman more than
the laborers.

There is some reason to believe that there
will be no more seizures of American vessels
by the Canadian cruisers, except when infrac-

open. The Canadian cruisers are keeping
up great show of vigilance, but, it is said,
that is about all it amounts to. There is
also reason to believe that England does not

the Canadians, but comedies the correct

is that the three mile limit is to be meas

The home rule campaign may now be said
to be fairly inaugurated Gladstone, Cham
berlain and Treyelyan have all issued mani
festoes to their supporters. Parliament will
probably be dissolved on the oath inst, and
inside of four weeks from that date the cleo
tions will be over and the fate of home rule
for some time to come will have been decided.
Mr.. Gladstone's manifesto clearly defines the
issue to be between coercion which has been
tried three quarters of century and has al
ways failed and self government within the
limits prescribed in his bill. Mr.. Gladstone
has the advantage of advocating plan that
appeals to the sense of justice and fair play
of the electors. But traditions, precedent
habit, which are so potent with the English
people and which they are so 10th to break
away from, are on the side of his opponents

There is trouble with the employees in the
cotton mills at Augusta, Georgia. So far the
South has been remarkably free from the
agitations which have unsettled business in
the North. Except in Texas and the ada
cent regions west of the Mississippi few
strikes have been heard of south of West
Virginia or Kentucky. 1t has not been be-
cause wages are better there, or because the
general prosperity is greater, or wholly be-
cause there are fewer manufacturing indus
tries in the South. But there are fewer for
eign laborers like the Poles, Bohomians etc.
who can always be counted on to Join IN any
labor trouble in the North. The laDorers,
both white and black, look u on the inter-

more than do their brothers in many parts OF

ground, perhaps because in some cases true
that the employer is the great enemy Of the
