The Democratic Canvass.
WHAT A MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE Committee SAYS.
Lewiston Journal. ]

A day or two ago, l met q sad-eyed and
down-cast member of the State committee,
who told story slightly different from that
of the amiable Secretary. Said he:
"There Is no head nor tail to the thing.
know that Brown has not complete canvass
of single county. There are three counties
in which the committee men have resigned
and not thing has been done. What is the
reason? Disgust. The majority OF the
democrats of this State are disgusted with
the way Maine has been used by the Ad-
ministratiop and with the crowd that has got
Office. know Brown is as disguised as any
body. He never would have undertaken to
carry this campaign through, had ne not been
under fire. He told me that as soon as the
campaign is over he is going to withdraw
from active politics and attend strictly to his
law business, but he says he is going to see
this campaign out if he is licked to DEATH
"Why is it that you democrats have nc
more speakers in tina fiell?'
"Can't get 'em. Harry Clifford went to
Washington twice purposely to get speakers.
Those Washington fellows told him that they
don't care a swear world about this State
They rather it would 60 republican. They
said Maine is republican State and it is of
no use to try to carry it. What we wish is to
retain the control of Congress and we propose
to put our work and money into Congressional
districts where it will do some good Secretary
Bayard and others made tkis talk. So Cliff
ford had to come home and report that he
could get no speakers. think however
that if he had worked more for the party and
less for Harry Clifford, he might have done
better.

The iron market is firm, and any in
crease in the demand for pig iron will
lead to an increase in price. There has
already been ) per cent Increase in the
price of finished iron. Other markets re
main firm, with marked absence of any
speculative fever. The crop reports for
the week are generally favorable, those
of the cotton crop especially so. The
Kansas corn crop will be larger than was
anticipated. and the spring wheat crop
in Minnesota will also be largely in excess
of what has been recently expected. This,
in connection with expectation OF heavy
deliveries, and an increased visible SIP
ply, has led to slight decline in wheat
The total number of failures reported
during the week was $50, against 1879 last
week. LAG the like week last year, l69 in
1884, 126 in 1888, and 1873 in 1882. The
total in the United States this year to date
is CO.'S, against 1903 last year, decline
of 1915. In 1884 the total to Aug. q was
1909, in 1888. 64SS. and in 1882 it was
1905. II a stringency in the money
market, which has been to some extent
threatened, can be avoided. there are in
dications OF prosperous tall trade.

An Important Letter
On THE THIRD PARTY FROM EX-GOv-
ERNOR ANsON p. MORRILL,.

We publish to-day strong and incis-
i've letter from the venerable citizen who
was the first republican Governor of this
State and whose bold and vigorous course
of action, dating back thirty-fve years,
did so much to establish Prohibition in
Maine, and who has never faltered in its
support. Now in his eighty-third year,
his mind and body in full strength, he
watches carefully passing events, and
maintains his warm fidelity to the temper
ance cause and gives his loyal support to
whatever measures and men will in his
judgment, best maintain and enforce Pro-
hibtion. An earnest republican and a
friend of American labor, he regards the
democratic party inimcal to the cause of
Prohibition and to American industry,
and standing menace to the peace and
welfare of the nation. No man in the
State has a clearer head and a more sin
cere patriotism. With nearly all the ORR
ginal Prohibitionists who know what it
involved to support prohibitory measures
thirty and thirty five years ago, he clearly
sees that the third party movement can
only do mischief to the cause it processes
to serve and plays directly into the hands
of the enemy. His letter to Mr.. Dascomb
has the genuine ring and will be read
with eager interest.

Ex.Goyernor Arson P. Morrill,
OK THE THIRD PARrr-HIs LETTER TO Hon
J. B. DAscoMB.

SKowHEGAS, Aug. %, 1886.
HoN. A. P. MORRILL,,
DEAR SIR-For twenty years past the tenn
perance men of Maine have regarded you as
the trusted leader who fought the battle for
Prohibition to its final victory.
Some of them are now embarrassed as to
the true line of duty and they turn to you for
advice. Without feeling this embarrassment
myself. submit some questions at the reques'
and for the benefit of others:
First Is there any substantial gain to be
expected from the organization of an indie
pendent Prohibition PARTY in Maine?
Second Is it the duty of Prohibitionists to
stand by the republican party now as they did
when you were its actual and recognized
leader in the State?
An early answer will be regarded as favor
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES B. DAsCoNB

Cyclones and Trees.

The New York Star thinks the
terrible story of the cyclone disas-
ters in Minnesota will probably
arouse a widespread discussion
over the phenomena by which it
and similar sad events are brought
about. The savants who have
studied the controlling physical
laws will generally agree that their
destructive force is enormously in
creased by, if not mainly due to,
the comparative absence Of timber
within the great area where they
are most frequently found. Com
ing from both oceans and from the
Polar sea, the wind currents are
broken into great cddies and drawn
into pools and vortexes which meet
over the great plain regions, Jus'
as they do in mid.ocean. Their
contact makes the vast and terrific
whirlwinds, hurricanes and lorna
does, of which We have just hat
SO terrible an example. The plant
ing of trees on a great scale, anC
in accordance with some systematic
plan, must have a very beneficial
effect, as the trees develop in size
in checking and perhaps almos
entirely breaking the force of thcs'
Ireat aerial currents.
