The Atlantic was one OF the last boats Ia ges

GrayliDg and sloop Berthe She got her sails up
and headed up and down the bay. Even IN

The Texans who dwell along the Rio
Graffde have new grievance. One Ra-
sures, charged with horsestealing, has been
extradited by the Mexicans and promptly
hanged, apparently with very little cere-
mony. After he was taken into Mexico the
American consul attempted to interfere, but
his representations were UNDECIDED. The
inhabitants of Western Texas are very much
excited over the matter, and the Democratic
State convention has adopted strong resolu-
tions while Gov. Ireland has informed Mr..
Bayard that unless the general government
takes action on the subject. Texas will feel
it her duty to proceed upon her own ac-
count. The population of Western Texas
is a bad lot and would doubtless hail with
delight row with the Mexicans across the
Rio Grande. But it is not at all probable
that they will be INDUCED. Gov. Ireland's
threat of declaring war in the States ac-
count is probably only piece of buncombe
designed to make himself solid with the
voters along the border
The Portland daily press., 1886-08-03

BY way of offsetting the Hon. William J.
Clifford's assault on Gen. Grant the Argus
publishes a letter written by Murat Hal
stead during the war, in which very saw
age attack is made upon the great soldier,
and invites the PRESS to publish it.
We will crafty the Argus on one condition.
and that is that it will publish what it calls
"some alleged criticisms" by Mr.. Clifford on
Gen. Grant. If the Argus has any doubt, as
it insinuates it does, that Mr.. Clifford ut
tered these criticisms it should refer to its
issue of July 26, 1872. There in a speech
made by Mr.. Clifford before the Democratic
district convention it will find this Ian
guage:
Our government was framed to be one of law.
Grant has made 1t the government OF person.
NOW such distortion may result either from ig
norance or unScrupuleus ambition. With Grant
II results from Ignorance. The refOrmers seek to
rescue the government from the dull and logged
ignorance of an unteaehable President .
we attack alone the corrupt. sordid, personal
administration of Grant. Weak, uncertain, alb
dured."
If the Argus would like to show its read
ers how afterwards when bidding for the
soldier vote Mr.. Clifford ate his own words
it can reprint this from his speech to the last
Democratic State convention:
| believe Grant meant to be good and upright
II he had been Democratic President as all his
lie he had been Democratic man, the history of
ms Presidency would have been far different, for
he was man of the people, and would have, I'M
der proper influences, worked out the peoples
cause But the corruption of his party over
whelmed him. Without corruptng him as | be-
lieye they swept him aside His party impaired
its corrupt character to his administration and
prevented him from imparting to it his own.
Possibly we shall be able to show hereafte
that on some other matters Mr.. Clifford has
not always been consistent.
The Portland daily press., 1886-08-03

Mr.. Morrisen's surplus resolution is prob
ably dead for this session. The Senate
amendments to it are of so radical charac-
ter that it is hardly conceivable that the
House will accept them. Probably Morrison
never expected the resolution to get further
! than the House; indeed it is very doubtful
II he>wanted it too. 1t was introduced for
political effect, to enable the Democrats to
go before the country with the cry that they
undertook to devote the surplus to the pay
ment Of the public debt and were resisted
by the wicked Republicans. They are well
come to all the capital there is in it.
When the matter is expla ined to the people
and the effect of the resolution is under
stood it will appear that there is very little.
The people are as rule honest, and
this resolution if put in force would be pref
ty certain eventually to result in national
dishonesty.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.
In his speech accepting the Democratic
for Governor Col. Edwards

In his speech accepting the Democratic
nomination for Governor Col. Edwards
said:
II am elected Governor of Maine can only
assure you that my best efforts will be made to
accomplish pure, economical and liberal admin
istrati0n The State of Maine has so long been in
the hands OF politicians, men who simply work on
the people to carry out political schemes and back
up certain leaders, that the whole character of
our politics needs change. Machine manage
ment needs to be broken, and the people allowed
to act freely in State affairs.
This sounds very pretty, but it is hardly
consistent with the ColonePs acts. The last
time the Colonel interfered in State affairs it
was to install Joseph L. Smith and legisla-
ture, neither of whom were elected but were
counted in by fraud. No such glaring in
stance of machine management was ever seen
In this State as that attempt of Garcelon,
Chase, Fogg & Co. to reverse the result of
ar election which Col. Edwards was
ready to assist as chief of staff with Capt. r.
w. Black and Col. j. w. Blood as aides. No
such outrage on the rights of the people was
ever perpetrated in Maine as that which the
Colonel was ready to sustain by a resort to
force if necessary, even to the pulling down
the State house over the heads of the legal
legislature no matter if every member thereof
was killed. People are judged by their acts
rather than by their words. Col Edwards's
fair promises will count for little when
weighed in the atmosphere of his perform
ance.
