THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY

Our esteemed morning contemporary re-
ports that the meeting of the Democratic
State committee was the "most harmonious
for some time" AS it does not appear that
it was necessary at any time during the pro-
ceedings to call in the police we are not dis
posed to deny this assertion. Nevertheless
the meeting did not bear very close resem-
blance to a love feast. A gathering that
both Col w. A. Cromwell and the Hon.
Charles H. Chase attended could not very
well be that. The meeting appears to have
spent most of its time promoting harmony in
the party with club, so to speak. Col.
Cromwell arraigned the Portland custom
house ring, and the Hon. l.. D. M. Sweat,
while the Hon. j. P. Bass was denounced as
bad sort of Democrat, who was breeding
dissensions in the party, and in no wise rep
resented the wishes or desires of the De-
mocracy of Maine. Then the Hon. Simon 5.
Brown proceeded to slap the better element
by inducing the assembled statesmen to
adopt a resolution endorsing himself and the
State committee, Office brokerage and all. 1t
was thought not best to break with the Pres
ldent while so many of the offices remained
untitled, and so a resolution was passed ex-
pressing the opinion that he meant well
but had been deceived. After these per-
tormances had been concluded the gathering
was declared, to quote the language of our
esteemed contemporary, ''most successful
and harmonious" The colder members"
said it was lone of the best meetings they
ever attended" speeches were made in favor
of 'bold, vigorous and aggressive campaign
and expressions of satisfaction that the COM
mittee had decided upon such a course were
freely made" There would seem to be no
doubt but vigorous and aggressive cam
paign" is assured Indeed it appears to have
been entered upon at this meeting. 1t has
been the habit of the Democracy at such
meetings in the past to severely arraign the
Republicans, but at this one the whole time
seems to have been spent in arraigning mem
bers of their own party. If the campaign
continues as it has begun, by September the
Democracy Of Maine will bear a striking re-
semblance to band of Ishmaelites

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Mrs Whitney, mother of Anne Whitney.
the sculptor, is living at Watertown, Mass,
at the age of l01 years. A few days ago she
surprised the family by walking into the
breakfast room at an unusually early hour.
''Why, mother" exclaimed her daughter,
did you come down stairs alone?' "Why,
yes, replied the energetic centenarian; II
should think | was old enough to come
alone!
Postmaster General Villas is in trouble
again. He attempted to ignore Mr.. Black
burn of Kentucky by his favorite method of
writing at his desk and paying no attention
to the Kentuckian's conversation, which was
addressed to him. This bit of scenic fresh
ness failed to work with Blackburn and he
went out of the office in white heat of
rage.
''The illness and death of Senator Miller
of California withdrew from Washington
society one of its most attractive members"
says the Pittsburg Times. ''Aliss Dora Mil
ler's famous Mandarin tea is extensively re-
membered-the same she used to make and
serve so prettily last year, surrounded by
her gorgeous tea service and Russian Samo-
var, on her mothers reception days. Miss
Miller was simply idolized by her father,
who gratifed her every wish. She had been
for four years little queen in youthful So
cial circles, but after coming back this past
winter gave up all the gayety to spend every
moment with her father. She led always in
the elegance of the entertainments planned
among the circle where she moved. She has
been engaged for several years to Lieut. Clo-
yer of the navy and only won her father
consent to the marriage last summer, before
his fatal illness began. AS one of the rich
est heiresses on the Pacific coast, her mar
occurred in Washington this winter, as part
ly planned but nothing definite could have
been settled on, owing to the Senator's con-
dition Her fathers will leaves her album
dant riches-an independent fortune"

CURRENT COMMENT.

VERY SOUND ARGUMENT FOR THE BAR
BEERS.
Boston Herald.
The BARRIERS are as much entitled to day
of rest as are other people. Beside, it isn't
fair to ask man to talk seven days In
week.
YES, IN A VERY SORRY STATE.
Boston Traveller.
The political campaign in Maine this year
does not promise to be avery exciting one.
The Democratic party is so disappointed
over the distribution of the offices that 1t has
lost its grip and abandoned itself to grief
SLIGHT DRAWBACK TO DELIGHT.
Chicago Herald.
There is shade of sadness in the COM
ments of the Southern press on Elder Sam
Small's remuneration of the tobacco habit,
which may be explained, perhaps, by the
fact that in that quarter pew rent is payable
in the weed.
JUSTICE FOR THE cARRoLToN MURDERERs.
Memphis Appeal.
1.-THE authorities of Mississippi should pur
sue the murderers of the thirteen negroes at
Carroton and bring them to justice. As the
Appeal said, the day the crime was perpe-
trated, this should be done if it took the
whole power of the State.

We Will abolish government, church ana
capital, and lynch all the rich men. When
that reform is achieved we will want no po-
lice OF guardians. Everything will be better

ing, everything, will be taken where u Is
found There will be no over-produc;tIilon,

BUT DID IT NEED SUCH A VINDlcATloN.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Democratic party came into power
over year ago on the platform of uncondi-
tional opposition to Republican principles
and measures; aid yet it has not made a Sc
rious effort to undo a single one OF the lead
ing features of the Republican plan of carry
ing on the government. Such vindication
of the record of the party that ruled the
country for twenty-four years, through diff
culties of the most trying and momentous
description, may fairly be considered suff-
clent for all purposes.

new law passed off quietly and there were
none of the disgraceful scenes which have
been the concomitants of contests at the
polls in that city for years. Respectable
citizens, instead of roughs, took charge of
the ballot boxes, and there was no attempt
at repeating or-ballot box stufing. A nom
partisan police force saw that order was
preserved, and no officers of the Mullen
stamp were about to lock up citizens to pre-
vent them from voting. The result shows
how easy it is to have fair and free elections
in city as thoroughly ring-ridden as Gin
cinnati even when the better part of the
community puts its foot down.

The Argus explains the discrepancy be-
tween the two dispatches sent to Mr.. Whit

by Mr. James d. Porter as private individ-
ual, while the second was signed by him in
his capacity of assistant Secretary of State.

The strikers at East st. Louis have resort
ed to violence against the express caution of
the executive committee of the Knights of
Labor. No doubt this will be pleasing to
Mr.. Hoxie. Public sympathy was inclining
to the strikers This outbreak will do much
to arrest it and turn it back again. 1t is
evident that before the Knights become
the power it is possible for them to be, some
more effective method of enforcing discipline
than exists at present must be devised.

One of the most notable contests this cen
fury will have seen begins in the House OF
Commons this evening, when Mr. Gladstone
viii offer his bill for the government of Ire
land. The details of his plan have been vari-
ouSly given, but the first authoritative state
ment of them will be made by Mr.. Gladstone
tonight By modifying his bill somewhat he
has been enabled to keep the Cabinet from
going to pieces, and avoided the necessity,
which once seemed inevitable,of accompany
ing his bill with the statement that it did not
have the support of the ministry. Concern
ing the fate of the measure, it is useless
to predict. The solid support of the Nation
alists is assured, and the substantially solid
opposition of the Tories also. To defeat the
measure seventy Liberals must vote with
the opposition. Whether Lord Harrington,
Mr.. Goschen and Mr.. Chamberlain will be
able to lead away that number is question
that can only be answered when the vote is
taken. Public opinion seems to anticipate
Mr.. Gladstone's defeat, but so it has on sew
eral former occasions when he has come off
victorious.

Jake Sharp's concern for the widows and
orphans who will be injured by the annul-
ment of the Broadway franchise is very
touching As far as he himself is concerned
personally he cares nothing. He is willing to
lose his bonds but the impending distress of
the widows and orphans haunts him night
and day. Mr. Sharp declares that he has
done nothing wrong; he has never bribed
anybody; he has proceeded strictly accord
ing TO legal advice. Where the $1,000 bills
came from that were showered so freely
upon the aldermen he has not explained,
however. Perhaps he has forgotten. He
has already given evidence that his memory
is very bad.

birthday, congress took holiday, as
well as government clerks, II is at
work again to-day, and the Blair cd
ucaional bill is before the senate
Some very able arguments have been
made for and against the measure
Though n stronger opposition has
been manifested against it this SEES
sion than last, no doubt is expressed
that il will pass the senate, either by
its friends or enemies, 1t is estimated
that at least ten Southern senators
will vote against il, az being uncon'
stitutional and impolitic, although
under tho provisions OF the bill their
section would share moro largely in
its benefits than tho North.
All of tho democrats OF tho house
and sixteen republican members voted
for the Fitz-John Porter relief bill
The passage OF the bill was n fore
gone conclusion, the only interesting
feature of tho vote lying in the num-
Der of republicans who would range
themselves with democratic senti
mont in favoring Porter's full vindi-
cation.
The close of tho Porter debate
brought tho first scene of tho session,
and ended in uproar and confusion.
There was a medley of comedy and
tragedy. Men on both sides OF the
hall dashed themselves into passion.
One member accused another OF dis
righteousness, Another accused a
member Of trying to cram falsehood
down the throat of the house. Mem
bers shook their fists in the dir and
in each others faces, and made other
demonstration equally unparliament,
airy. They ridiculed each Others
speeches, and shrieked and laughed
and groaned until the tumult was
settled by on order that the vote be
taken.
The advocates of woman suffrage
held q lively convention here during
the week. This is their eighteenth
annual Washington convention. They
are much elated over the bill favoring
female Acknowledgement that is now
on the senate calendar. The house
Judiciary committee granted the del.
egates q respectful hearing on last
Saturday, and nine ladies made argu
ments before the committee, appeal
ing for a sixteenth amendment to the
state legislature granting women the
citizens right to vote.

we should base our support OF the

Towards tho establishment Of an
efficient public school system our cit
liens have already mado a noble Of
fort and creditable Advancement One
more effort must be made - school
buildings must DO erected, to accom-
modate tho increasing enrolment in
the San Marcos public schools. The
urgent need of suitable school
building in comparison with the need
of an opera house admits of no argu,
mont, and the Hon. Mayor is to be
commended for tho noblo stand he
has taken in opposition to the city
building an opera house precedent TO
n public school building. 1t is now
evidently he duty of our citizens to
decide that u suitable school house
must be built instead of an opera
building with market-house attach
ment, which feature has proved O
loss and annoyance at other towns.
If an opera house and market-house
is needed, and would be paying in
vestmont, why not delegate it's con-
struction to the management of indi.
