xeyor of Campaign Scandals.
Washington Special.
The appointment today of Charles B. Nor
ton of Maine, to be commissioner OF navigation,
is regarded here as direct attack on Mr. Blaine
by the administration. Mr.. Morton is an appli-
cant for Office of some years standing. During
the campaign which resulted in tf election of
Mr.. Cleveland he was editor of Democratic
daily in Mr. Dlaine's own city. called the
Augusta Age. Ex-Governor Plaisted was asso-
ciated with MIN, and between them they man
aged to bring out the disreputable stories about
the disfguring of the tombstone over' the re-
mains of Mr.. Blaines first child and the equally
disreputable scandals which were afterwards
published at Indianapolis. After the election
Mr.. Morton became candidate for the postofffce
in Augusta. Mr.. Plaisted assisted him, and ono
or the otEer of them was here tor
months urging that the appointment be made
Mr.. Cleveland, after much consideration ap-
pointed another man, and the story was circu-
lated here, and generally believed that he took
this course out of Difference to the feelings of his
late opponent. 1t was not known that Mr..
Blaine had interfered personally in the matter
but it appeared that Senators Hale and Frye had
both gone to the White House and insisted that
it was only a matter of common courtesy that
the purveyor OF such scandals should not be re-
warded.
Mr.. Cleveland's action was usually credited to
his own manly feelings in the matter but it was
atterward claimed, with some show of justice,
that other considerations had operated with hisa
also. He was shown by Democratic Senators
that Republican influence in the Senate
might prevent the confirmation of Morton any
how, and that the refusal to appoint was
for all reasons the best course he could take.
His action to-day created sensation. The
place Of commissioner Of navigation is one OF
the best held by Maine in any of the depart
ments, and any appointment TO it was likely to
be noticed. The present commissioner, Jarvis
Patten, had organized the bureau and was from
Mr. Blaine's State. No comment on the appoint
ment fails to take notice Of the slight and to
mention its marked character The only reason
alleged for it is the Presidents belief in the
rupture between Blaine and Edmunds and the
possibility that Mr.. Edmunds would be willing
TO see Mr.. Mortons name pass through the SEN
ate.

of the scientific stations operated by
staff of professors at great cost.
SO says the New York Weekly Times.
We have visited Mr.. Carman's exper-
mental farm and can testify to the
truth of this statement. Mr.. Carman
has felt that his position at the head of
the greatest of the American agricul-
tural journals required that he should
have the means of testing and confirm
ing, or disproving, the many statements
put forth in behalf of various novelties
in plants, seeds, implements, ETC., ETC.,
which the farmers of the country are
expected to buy. This he could only
accomplish in the way above alluded to,
and on the Rural farm the work is done
in the very best and most impartial
manner. Besides this good deal of
original work is done in the way of orig
mating new varieties, making crosses,
forming collections of rare foreign
plants, experimenting in new methods
of culture, and, in short, doing the
work of genuine experiment station.
As Mr.. Carman, aside from his very
prosperous paper, is man of indepen-
dent means, he is enabled to do all this
as it should be done, and not only his
own subscribers, bat the agricultural
world, are made the beneficiaries of
his intelligent labors.

A NEW GRADE PROBABLE.
An Important Meeting TO be Held
Next Week by the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioner.

An Important Meeting to be Held
Warehouse commissioners.
AS provided for by the railroad and ware
house law the board of commissioners are
required to meet before Sept. Is each year
and establish grade for all kinds of grain.
A meeting is called for next Tuesday at
the capitol, to which all interested either as
producurs, buyers, sellers or consumers are
invited. 1t is generally conceded that there
are to be changes made in the grades as, if
no changes were contemplated it would not
be necessary to hold a meeting. The mill
ers, and particularly those in Minneapolis,
think there should be a grade between
No. l hard and No. 1 Northern,
and are in favor of establishing
a grade to be called No. 2 hard. The reason
given for the establishment of the new
grade is that No. 1 Northern. from the
north part of the state. is much better than
the same grade from the southern part of
the state. To avoid the mixing of No.
Northern from the upper part of the state
with that of the same grade from the south
ern part, they insist that new grade, to be
known as No. hard, be established. AS
it will make difference of or cents on
a bushel in the price of No. hard and No.
/ Northern, it is probable that the new
grade will be established. The meeting
promises to be very interesting one and
will be largely attended by elevator and
grain men throughout the state.

CAN SMOKE BE CONSUMED,

4 Grist of Testimony Given BEFORE
the Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Another batch of witnesses was before
the chamber of commerce committee yes
terday regarding the smoke nuisance and
ordinance. w. 81. Lindeke said he had a
Hutchinson smoke consumer and found it
worked successfully and without any extra
expense. w. S. Keller, engineer in charge
at Indexes boilers and furnace, said when
the consumer was kept on there was little,
if any smoke. 3. III. Thompson, engineer
for A. Ii. Wilder, said there was Hutcnn-
son smoke consumer used with their furnace
and although soft coal was used the smoke
was not noticeable. Robert Manufacturer of
Mannheimer Bros. said they were damaged
thousands of dollars yearly by the smoke
and SCOT injuring their goods. G. d. Gil
fillan thought all the devices for consuming
smoke were frauds. He had spent about
So, 900 in experimenting. and finally decided
that they were no good. He had not tried
the Hutchinson consumer, but had an idea
it was no better than the one he had tried.
He thought Mr.. Lindeke and Mr.. Wilder
were both laboring under delusion as to
the merits of the cOntrivance. TO support
IH6OIN u6 I6ttu Wudt paper u6NOtcu
engineering said about there being no de-
vice which would do satisfactory work. The
consumer used by Lindeke might look as
though it worked all right. but
it simply changed the smoke to brighter
shade, and the SCOT was as bad as though
none was used. He said the smoke ordi-
nance passed in Chicago was in the inter-
ests of the anthracite coal men, and he was
| of the opinion that if it was enforced here
| it would have the effect to make hard coal
go up about 81 per ton. The best smoke
consumer, or rather preventive, he knew
of, and he had given the matter much at
tention in this country and in the large
cities in Europe, was to have an engineer
and fireman with brains and an idea of how
to stoke and fire furnace. j. S. Stevens,
who had twelve years experience, thought
a good engineer and fireman who knew
their business had more to do with the
abatement of smoke than any appliance.
j. h. Dawson was of the same opinion.
