THE MAINE CAMPAIGN.

That the Republicans have good and
sufficient cause for fearing defeat at the
coming election in Maine, is proven by
the following figures showing the vote in
1884, and the present state of mind in
dulged by the Prohibition element there.
In the last presidential election the vote
stood: Republicans, 7S.3lS; Demo
cratic, $500; Greenback, 3,017; Prohi-
bition, isl. In the same year, however,
prohibitory amendment to the coEstitu-
ton was adopted by vote of 70,783, and
if the disafection OF the Republican-Pro-
hibitionists is as widely extended as it is
said to be, there are enough of them to
sink the Republican plurality of nearly
10000, and give the State to the Demo
Gratis. To bring about this disaffection,
the recent speeches made by Blaine are
very powerful, as few of the Republicans
who are committed to Prohibition
have any faith in Blaine or the
Republican machine which he represents.
On the other hand there are many of the
leading Democrats who believe in Pro-
hibition, and they are men who can in
fuence the wavering vote, and they will
turn every point possible to bring the
Prohibitionists over to the Democratic
standard, and there is likelihood of sue
cess for the attempt. For years the Pro-
hibitionists have begged and entreated of
the Republicans that they would enforce
the laws made in favor of Prohibition,
but they have always been doomed to
deceitful defeat, and they have at last
taken the heroic measure of cutting adrift
from the parent party, and going in on
their own merits. Not only has
Blaine tried to win them back
on his promises of support to
the Prohibitive issue, but he also springs
his well-worn issue of Protection, and its
effect upon the people is told we'll in
the following from the New York World:
They are ringing the chestnut gongs on
Mr.. Blaine up in Maine when he grapples
with the great protection issue. This adds
the missing element of humor to the cam
paign.
The whole Republican outfit reeks of
broken promises, made only for personal
advancement, and the men who have
entered to stay with Prohibition, will
turn to the party which they know will
enforce the laws, even though they did
not make them, hence the turning of TO-,
900 votes over to the Democratic candi-
date would swamp Blaine and the Re-
publicans, and that is why ne and they
are SO unpaSv

THE CZAR'S NOTE.


The action of Prince Alexander of Bull
garia, in sending his submissive letter to
the Gar of Russia, and that monarch's
snubbbing and threatening note in return
| indicate that all the smoke lately ventil-
ated on the Bulgarian dethronement has
some fire behind it. 1t is well known by
the Powers in particular, and the world
in general, that the Gar will never rest
until he has made an outlet to the Medt-
erranean from the southerly confines of
his dominion, and another to the Indian
ocean from his Asiatic possessions, and
all his aims and ambitions are centered
in these objects. In order to force these
concessions from the Powers, he knows
vast army is necessary, and all re-
ports agree that he now controls the best
fighting force in Europe. The power of
England or trauce to transport troops
and munitions of war to his territory is
not now what it was during the Crimean
War, as the excellent torpedo service in
the waters of the Black and Caspian
seas is proof against the invasion of
these seas by foreign bottoms, and the
present naval power of Russia is sufficient
to drive the merchant marine of both
countries from the ocean. The great
opponent, then, would be Austria, and it
is doubtful whether Francis Joseph
would take issue with the Car, as he is
known to look with a covetous eye on
the disputed territory lying around him,
and between him and Turkey and
Russia. The Gear knowing the
power of the German Chancellor
and finding it would be dangerous to COM
bat it openly, seems to be feeling his way
to an encounter which shall not include
Germany and then he would not stop
one hour for the averting of war with the
combined armies of Europe. Prince AL
eXander cannot hold the throne of Bull
garia without Russian support, and
Russia, under the treaty of Berlin cannot
make Bulgaria a dependency without
incurring the enmity of the Powers.
Russia will make Bulgaria dependency
by ousting Prince Alexander, and chance
the result. This proves that the Gar
has carefully weighed his chances
and if he should bring on
war on his Southern European
frontier, nothing could be easier than
for him to give the reins to the hordes of
semi i-barbarous Cossacks in the East,
and without a large army to stop them,
they would soon overrun the British
Indian frontier and make lodgment on
the coast of the Indian Ocean, from /
which no human power could drive them.
Carefully considered from an unpreiu-
diced standpoint, the times are ripe for
such move, and doubtless the Bulgarian
difficulty was but the first move TO test
the feelings of Bismarck and the Austrian
Emperor. The Cars note to Alexander
makes plain sailing with all that preceded
its utterance, and war in Europe is nearer
than the world suspected until he exhib-
ited his hand in that note.

No MoEE DEAD CaNps. Within the
boundaries Of Nevada are a great many
dead mining camps. They are moulder-
ing skeletons OF what were once prosper
Gus towns. When the surface rock gave
out in the early DAYS, or when the ore
was not of great value per ton work was
abandoned and the towns that had been
built up were deserted. The idea pre-
vailed that the precious metals found
their way into the crevices and assures
from the surface, and after an apparent
exhaustion, further search in the depths
would be fruitless. Where rock was Of
low grade in value the cost Of extraction
and reduction consumed the returns, and
this idea and fact brought ruin and de-
to many thriving little town
The fact has been changed, everything
can be done more chesply, and when in
former days lodges were valueless on ac-
count Of expense, they can now be
worked at profit. The experience Of deep
mining has shown that the greatest treas
ures lie in the depths, and the effect will
be resurrection of many dead and gone
camps and the permanent life Of those

In Montreal, Canada, about midnight
on Saturday, February 18th, most re-
markable phenomenon was witnessed in
the heavens. 1t appeared in the western
horizon and rose to the north 79', where
it assumed the spectacle Of the heavens
opening and shooting forth a stream of
livid, rose-colored light. The Catholic
population Of the city were awe.stricken,
thinking the last day had come, and
kneeling on the streets they prayed for
salvation from their sins. Young men
and old stood with uncovered heads on
the streets looking at the most marvellous
scene ever noticed in a lifetime. Sergeant
Moran and Detective st. Pierre were
arresting prisoner at the time, when the
astonishing display from the heaven para.
lyzed them for moment, and they both
knelt and returned thanks to heaven for
their preservation. Two Catholics
thought it was the day Of judgment, and
from some cause or other fell dead. Prof.
Mcleod Of the McGill University states
that this was the most remarkable phe-
nomenon he had ever witnessed.

PREPARING FOR 1855.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette writes:
A certain famous gentlemen, who has a
national reputation as political mana.
ger, and who has conducted State and
National campaigns, talked with me as
follows last evening:
"The Presidential work is already in
fall progress, and active efforts are being
put forth. l know that three bureaus at
last are hard at it, and these are the
bareaas Of Hill, Logan and Blaine. These
tiiree gentlemen have their canyassers out
ia all directions, actively at work. Logan
has headquarters and manager in Chi
cago, and another in Springfield. Joe
aianley came over here couple Of weeks
ago. and established headquarters here
and also in New York. A man is here
nuder prsteuse Of another business to
look OFT for NJ. Blaine, and is in con-
slant communication with Blaine and
agents in various States. know OF two
Congressman he has made arrangements
with and pledged to Blaine who was not
for him in 1854 Hill has two men here
who are established at hotel, but they
have private Office, clerk and steno.
grapher. and do heap Of correspondence.
Hill is putting in hard work to win the
Indiana men, and believes he can get the
entire delegations from that State and
New York.
There is prospect that Cleveland
will be the nominee Of third party,
composed Of Civil Service Reform Demo
Gratis and Mugwumps, the officeholders
and their friends.
IF Blaine lie renominated the Mug.
wumps will make that the excuse for
keeping out of the regular Republican
organization and adhering to Cleveland,
and following him in third party.
"The Mugwumps do not want to 60
clean over into the Democratic organiza.
tion, but they are tied up to Cleveland.
They think they made him and want any
excuse to follow him. They want to take
him still more completely to themselves
and rule and possess the organization that
dominates him in 1883. They would
rather see Blaine nominated than not, for
then they can fall down before their god
openly and feel themselves vindicated.
They will demand that the I,epubli cans
nominate Edmuuds TO secure the Mug
wump vote. II this is not done they will
go on with the programme. l was told
that they might agree to support Sher-
man il nominated; indeed, if that occur
red it would be hard to hold the organi-
cation together. But, as / said, do not
believe they want the Republicans to
nominate either Edmunds or Sherman,
for they want to stick to Cleveland.
II don't see just what combinations
or elements Gen. Logan can control suf.
flcient to nominate him. He had tight
work for his Senatorship last time.
George Gorham, who is as good as a
mouth piece to Conkling, for he is in his
full confidence, told me he believed Conk.
ing would give bis influence to Sherman

was personally very friendly to Logan,
