PRoHIBlrIo> TAcucs.-One OF the
most interesting features of the coming
political campaign in Maine will be that
growing out of the expressed intention OF
the political prohibtionists ITO break up
the Republican party" As all the prohib-
tory Legislation IN Maine has been due to
the Republicans, this programme seems
to combine the elements of ingratitude,
idiocy and suicide. And that stalwart
Republican .Prohibitionist, Senator Frye,
with his customary pluck and frankncss,
goes more than half way toward the Pro-
hibitionists who are fools enough to want
ITO break up the Republican party" As
Mr.. Frye has always been Prohibitions
list and even fayor' putting into the next
national Republican platform plank in
favor Of prohibition, he occupies pecul-
lar strong position from which to over
haul the political follies of the Prohibi-
tionists.-N. \. MaH and ErDicss.

Europe was startled last week, by the
receipt of intelligence from Bulgaria an.
nouncing that Prince Alexander had alb.
Dictated and had been escorted over the
border. A petition was presented TO the
Tsar, through the Russian agent at Sofia
praying for Rnssia's protection, which
was, of course, graciously conceded
The Prince was seized at night in his bed
chamber, and forced to sign the abdica-
ton treaty. He was then hurried on
board n yacht, with the intention of land
ing him prisoner on Russian soil. A
new ministry was at once formed in the
interest of Russia When the news of
the trcachery reached the people and the
soldiers they revolted from the new rule,
reinstated the old ministry and casting the
new cabinet into prison, organized n
search for their ruler to place him again
on the throne. Russia's candidate for
the throne was Prince Oldenburg.

Third Party.

Mrs, J. Ellen Foster the well known
Temperance woman and Prohibition al
voeate, in answer to the question "What
is the general effect of the Third Party
movement through the country said;
MY sentiments on that point are well
known and are only intensified by time.
believe the Third Party movement is
based on n wrong idea Of the relation of
reforms to party action The results
have been disastrous. It is beyond my
comprehension that any temperance man
should say, as an advocate of the Third
Party movement Is quoted as saying, that
lit makes no difference whether any
party dominates Il total abstinence clergy
man, or beer drinkcr. 1t appears to me
such uttorances indicate more of Il desire
tor party-building than for temperance
promotion. have no sympathy with the
desire to kill any party, but | am in hearty
sympathy with the desire to destroy the
| liquor traffic"
ut is seeking to defeat Ex-Governor
Dingley for Congress, who for quarter
of a century has been one of the Stauuch,,
est champions of prohibition In Con-
gress he mas champiOned the bills for a
commission of inquiry into the liquor
traffic, for the enactment of constitu-
tional prohibition, and for the scientific
instruction of the evils of alcohol, which
as recently passed in Congress makes it
requisite in the educational system of the
District of Columbia and of all the Terri
tories and the government institutions.
Indeed, he has favored every measure in
support Of prohibition To my mind
there is something little short of insanity
in this demanded party change. | de-
nominate It pangph0Jia.

! The friends of Hon. +. +. Pillsbnry
don't like it very well because the Presi-
dent declined to rcnOminate him for the
office of Collector, alleging that it would
be violation of the Civil Service act,
but did renominate Matthews to succeed
Douglass as Register of Deeds for the
District of Columbia. This is the way
one of then puts it:
You can imagine my surprise and that
of the other friends of Mr.. Pillsbury
when we learned that the President had
reappointed Matthews to succeed Douglas
though Matthews was rejected by IA much
larger majority than that recorded against
Mr.. Pillsbury. 1t seemed by this that an
Albany negro, who joined the party to Sc
cure office, is of much more account in
the eyes of the President than an old and
hard working Democrat such As Mr.. Pills
