The Argus appears quite disconsolate over
the defeat of Mr. Morrison's tariff bill. 1t
regards the refusal to take it up as tanta-
mount to declaration that the House thinks
that the present tariff is all right and ought
not to be disturbed. Such is not its true in
depreciation, however All it means is that
the House has so little confidence in Mr..
Morrison's plan Of reducing the revenue that
it will have nothing to do with it. The Re-
publicans are ready to discuss the tariff with
view to reducing the revenue What Nor
rison proposed to do was to gag them and
then force through his bill. They were
not disposed to submit to that sort of
performance, and fortunately for the indus
tries of the conntry-of Maine especially
Mr. Morrison did not have the power to COM
pei them to. Mr.. Morrison is troubled with
pig headedness. It's rule or ruin with him.
As chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee he has the power to stifle any plan for
reducing the revenue which is not accepta-
BILE to him, and he has frequently proclaimed
his intention to use it, What he wants is
| not so much to reduce the revenue as to ad
minister blow to the protective system, and
bill which does the former without doing
the latter will get no sympathy from him.
What he asks the American Congress to do
and what it has refused to do is to reduce
the revenue in way that suits him, and for
this refusal it is charged with refusing to re-
duce taxation. Why the majority of the
| House should yield to Mr. Morrison rather
than Mr.. Morrison to the majority Of the
| House it is not easy to see.
The Argus fears that one result of con-
tinuance of the present tariff will be to draw
capital from New England to the South. AS
| the tariff affects the South as much as New
| England, it is not quite clear why such a
transfer should result from it; and the Argus
| does not explain. If manufacturing under
| high tariff can be carried ON more profit
ably at the South, it would seem that such
| would be the case under low tariff. But
why should the Argus or anybody else be
alarmed because manufacturing industries
are springing up in the South? Doesn't the
Argus want the South to be prosperous? To
be sure the development of manufacturing
| at the South may attract Northern men
there, and thus eventually prove the means
of breaking up the practice by which the
South is kept solid for the Democratic party.
| We don't suppose, however, that the Argus
or anybodyelse viii publicly offer that as a
reason for keeping manufacturing out of the
South

THE slNALoA coLoN,sTs.

We sincerely hope that the eighteen peo-
pie who started from this city yesterday for
the far away promised land on the Pacific
coast may realize fully their expectations in
regard to the climate and soil of the country
as well as their anticipations in regard to TIE
Utopian scheme of government, which thew
are 70 help inaugurate We hope for their
sakes that all the accounts of the country
published in cyclopedias and gazetteers and
books OF travel, which describe the climate
as insufferably hot and the soil like desert
are falsehoods made out of whole cloth, and
that they will find the climate temperate
the soil productive, and rain sufficient to rem
der artificial irrigation unnecessary.
We hope too, that the socialistic plan of
government, which they propose to inaugu-
rate, will work better than it ever has be-
fore. We hope every member of the colony
will prove unselfsh, not wanting more than
his share from the general fund. We hope
the central bank will always be full of coin,
and in condition to honor all drafts made
upon it. We hope that the colonists will
be able to get seven days in the
week SO Delmonico dinners for twenty
cents this is one of the inducements held
out by the founder, Mr.. Owen) We hope
none of them will grow lazy from overfeed
ing and try to shirk. We hope that in their
places OF amusement they will abolish the
three story hat which is worn in these parts,
and that they will not allow women any,
where or on any pretence to wear dead birds
on their bonnets. We hope that none of the
colonists will become millionaires, and we
may go further and say that we con-
fdently expect that they won't. We
hope, too. that they will not spend
all their money as they 60 along.
SO when they want to come back they will
not have to apply to the railroads for free
passes or 10 Congress for an appropriation.

The sea serpent has gone into winter quar-
tiers near Canso, so it appears from the testi-
mony of young man pronounced by the
Halifax Herald to be "of good character and
position, and reliable" Some time ago. as
this veracious youth was journeying to Can
SO, he came across what he at first supposed
was an old log. But as he approached the
thing moved, and he then saw that it was

twenty-five or thirty feet long" Its head
was about as large as large tea-kettle. -
When he first observed 1t its head was lying
In the road and its tail in the woods. On his
approach 1t darted into the woods and disap-
peared from sight. Recently an old man by
the name of Cavener has disappeared from
that region, and the general opinion seems to
be that he has been swallowed by the snake.
A few think that he may have fallen into
brook and been drowned. and some insist
that possibly bear may have devoured
him; but the serpent solution is the popular
one. Such description as the reliable"
young man has furnished tends to connect
the snake with the monster that used to hi
bernate in the vicinity of Calais. Very like

Scotis being explained by the fact that the
better enforcement of the prohibitory law
had rendered his longer existence in this

Probably Mr.. Bass will claim the appoint
ment of Gen. G. w. Roberts to the Bangor
collectorship as his victory. Originally,
however. his fayorite was William I. Pear
son, but finding that he could not secure his
appointment he switched off to Gen. Roberts.
Gen. Robertss strength came mostly from
the old line Democrats. such as Gen. Boyn-
ton, J.F Rawson and William I'll. McCrillis.
Mr.. Stratton had the support of the young
men, while Mr.. William T. Parsons princi-
pal reliance was Frank Jones. The can
didate of the Irish Democrats was Mr..
Edward Corners. Gen. Roberts is generally
popular with the Democrats, and perhaps
his selection will prove as satisfactory as
any that could have been made, though Mr.
STATIONS qualifications for the office were
undoubtedly superior. 1t must be great
relief to the President to get this matter off
his mind, for he has been pestered almost to
death by the Bangor politicians, one of
whom made himself so offensive that the
President was finally obliged to give him the

The progress of the temperance sentiment
In the South is great and encouraging. But
there are few instances where the progress
is not the result of such honest conviction as
the friends of temperance desire to see ar
rayed at their side. For instance, the re-
markable bill which has passed the South
Carolina Senate, making it a misdemeanor to
sell. give away, barter or exchange liquors
and requiring all railroad agents to keep
public record of all packages of liquor re-
ceived applies only to Anderson and Lau-
rens counties. The fact that in these coun-
ties at the last census the negroes outnum-
bered the whites by more than two thousand
suggests the reason for thus selecting two
out of thirty-three counties in South Caro-
lima for testing the merits of this extreme

The bill passed by the Senate for the re-
demption of the trade dollar will be good
thing for the spectators who have them on
hand. Up to July /, 1887, the bill, If it
should become law, would allow the trade
dollar to be exchanged at their face value for
standard silver dollars The redeemed trade
dollars would be recoined into standard sill
yer dollars at rate of not more than $780,
90 worth of bullion month, and this
amosat would be deducted from the 50, 0OO,-
wv Oh siissr~ which the Treasury is COM
PEELED by law to purchase and coin every
month. A clause prosiding for the refusal
OF defaced or mutilated coin will prosons the
thousands Of trade dollars in China from
flowing back, as it is said that the Chinese
money changers have decorated with tea
chest marks the dollars that have come into
their clutches.

Though Mr.. Morrison has been defeated he
is still master Of the situation to this extent
that he can prevent any other tariff bill from
being discussed in the House this session.
Whenever any bill of that sort is introduced
1t will go to his committee, where it can be
smothered if the committee are so disposed.
AS Mr.. Morrison has declared that If his bill
was not considered no other should be there
is little likelihood of any tariff legislation
