Here is a fair illustration of Democratic jour
nalism. Writing of ''thc most elaborate and
imposing piles of clapboards and shingles at
Bar Harbor the Hudson, N. Y. Gazette says:
Mr.. Blaines cottage is as pretentious in eX-
terror as any of them, for it bears decidedly
shOddy appearance; while that of William H..
Vanderbilt is the most unassuming of any in
the group of millonaircs.
In point of fact Mr.. Blaine's cottage is not
half the size of others mentioned nor so pre-
tentious as the majority, while Mr.. Vanderbilt
did not build and does not own the cottage he
occupies, which was constructed before the
present craze for old designs in architecture.
The idea the writer in the Gazette seeks to
convey is that the millionaire Vanderbilt is
content with an unassuming abode, while Mr..
Blaine's is 'prctentious'' and ''shoddy.' But
perhaps nothing better is to be expected from
man who parts his name in the middle, the
editor of the Gazette styling himself NJ. Parker
Williams.
For the first time in many years Rockland

THIS Is BECOMING, 4 DEAD WORLD

Heat expands and cold contracts. The
ehrths subterranean heat is constantly lost not
only by radiation through the crust but bv the
agency of hot springs and volcanic eruptions
This cooling causes contraction of the interior
and consequent settling Of the superintendent
masses. When the crust settles cities are
thrown down. This in brief is one of the
theories Of earthquakes like that in the United
States Tuesday night. The planet beneath our
feet is visibly cooling and collapSing and is on
its way to become adead world. But that will
be several millions of years hence, 50 that there
i little need of present anxiety. Portland

New Hampshire i more frequently visited

combed with caves. and the fear is expressed
that if the late earthquake was accompanied bv

the exception of Nv. and XVIII., up
to which ! am not yet fully educated" and
asked that Mr. MiIliken should define his posi-
ton in regard to these principles. Mr.. Mill
ken replied at some length, referring to his

from one of these speeches in which the labor
question is discussed will be found on the first
page and showing that he is in full accord
with every movement for protecting the inter
e>tS and advancing the condition of the worker
The kenncbec journal in commenting on this
correspondence SAYS:
Al all times and in all places Mr.. Milliken
has been found faithful to the interests of labor
The fact that he has been obliged to make his
way through the world with his hands and
brain alone. working hard for what he has
achieved. has doubtless operated to bring him
into close and warm sympathy with laborng
men in their efforts to improve their condition.
At any rate he endorses heartily every impor-
tant principle in their creed. and leaves no room
tor doubt what his position is and will be on
labor questions. as the Representative in Con-
could ask no better representative of their
principles than Mr.. Milken, and as he i GER
tain to be elected by Il large majority they have
an opportunity to commend themselves to his
favor by casting their votes for him at the cleo
ton on Monday next. and thus make their
votes tell etlectually for their peculiar interests

The Legislature Of 1871 contained a majority
