ANOTHER OFFENSIVE PARTISAN.
Kennebec Journal.
Mr.. Thomas f. Murphy, Deputy Collector
of Internal Revenue, also special correspon-
dent of the Portland Argus, has three tele-
graphic despatchess. in the Argus of ,yester-
day, dated respectively Hallowell. Bangor
and Augusta These dispatches are often
siyelv partisan and absolutely untrue. Mr..
Murphy should remember that "a public Of
fee is a public trust" We hope. that Collec-
tor Redman will see to it that his deputy is
not permitted to openly violate President
CleYeland's order.

Mr.. John W. Deering states in the Argus
that all the rum shops that he shut up during
his administration are now open, and TWEEN
ty-three new ones have been started, and
these things, he asserts, he knows by ''actual
observation and count" The Grand Jury
meets next Tuesday. Obviously it is the du-
ty OF the County Attorney to summon Mr..
Deering before them.

The earthquake of Tuesday was doubtless
the most destructive that has ever occurred
in the United States The story from Charles
ton reads good deal like the stories that
have come to us in the past from foreign
countries, stories which few probably anti
cipatcd ever would be paralleled in our own
country. There have been earthquakes be-
fore in the United States however, and some
of them appear to have been quite as violent
| as this one, though they occurred at times
and places when and where there was not so
much to destroy. Probably the most violent
| earthquake in the United States preceding
| the one of Tuesday occurred in 1911 in the
| valley of the Missouri river. The ground
around New Madrid quaked necessarily for
several months, and rose and sunk in great
undulations over an extent of country stretch
ing 800 miles southwark of the Ohio river.
The earthquake of Nov. IS, 1855, was the
most severe ever known in the Eastern and
Middle States. 1t occurred about the same
time as the great shock that destroyed Lis
bon and was part of the same disturbance.
Chimneys, and even brick buildings, in the
cities were toppled over, and in the country
| stone walls were thrown down. Many new
| springs of water were opened, and the
wave-like swell of the land was clearly per-
ceptible The shock was felt severely on
| the sea and dead fish in great numbers were
washed ashore. On Oct. 49, 1870, the eastern
section Of this country was again shaken
severely, though little damage was done.
One Of the Southern missions was destroyed
by an earthquake in California in 1852, and
again in 1872 the Pacific coast was so
severely shaken that the walls of many
buildings in San Francisco were badly
cracked.

accept it. We should advise the Prohibi-
tionists. however, to admit him to their
church only on probation. To be sure, for
a year he was violent prohibitionist, but it
must be recollected that since that time he
has been ready, and even anxious, to accept
a nomination from a party that declares hos
fifty to all sumptuary laws. As he did not
get the nomination it is not perhaps impos-
ible that he has become Prohibitionist
again. However that may be we advise the
Prohibitionists to be cautious Don't invite
him to take the highest seat in the synagogue
at first.
"Three murders have occurred in Portland
within few weeks" said Ex-Gov ST. John
in City Hall Tuesday, to which Gen. Neal
Dow responded, "And the murderers are
still at large, and they don't want them ar
rested, their votes will be needed Had this
remark come from low down Democratic
ward politician it would have excited no at
tention, but coming from man Of Gen.
Neal BOWS character and standing in the
community. it is worthy of notice. In the first
place three murderers are not still at large.
One of the murderers is in jail awaiting tri-
been sufficient evidence to connect any per-
son with the murder, if murder there was,
which is by no means certain. The murder
er of Shortsleeves it is true, is still at large.
Gen. Dow insinuates very plainly that Re
publican officials, for that is what he
means by 'they," have connived at his
escape. OF course, being gentleman of
high character, Gen. Dow would not indulge
in such an insinuation unless he had
some evidence of its truth. He should
furnish that evidence. 1t is aduty he owes
to the public; for if we have officials who
will connive at the escape of murderers the
public will not be safe until they are out of
office and in the penitentiary. 1t is duty
he owes to himself also, for if he fails to state
on what evidence his insinuation is founded
the public will come to believe that it was
founded on no evidence-that is, it will set
him down as reckless slanderer.

The conclusion seems to be irresistible
from letter published in Yesterdays Argus
