The Governors staft.
Lewiston Journal. ]

We see BY. the papers that Governor
elect BurIeigh is already besieged with
hundreds of applications for the honorary
places on his military staff and with let
tiers of endorsement from hundreds of
the friends of each applicant
These gentlemen should remember that
these positions and the duties which at
tend them. ARE not like other public offices.
The members of a Governors staff are
necessarily thrown into intimate personal
relations with him. They are his military
family. They are the imne-
date associates of himself and his wife on
public and festive occasions. Hence it Is
desirable and fitting that the governor
should select them for personal and social
reasons, only, and that political considera-
tions should have no weight. Looking at
the matter in this light, is ii not rather in-
delicate for the friends of the Governor
elect to endeavor to influence his choice
of staff officers: Might they not with
equal propriety advise him as to whom he
should invite to dinner:
When Benjamin F. Butler was Govern
or of Massachusetts he gave public notice
that all letters relative to the selection OF
mis- military staff would be consigned to
the waste basket without consideration.
We don't imagine that Governor elect
Burleigh will do just that thing; but we
have an idea that he will invite his own
cronies into his military family.

A Leaf From the Past.

Those whose political memory and ex-
perence 60 back to the time when tn
lines Of battle were being formed by the
supporters Of Harrison and Van Buren,.
have not forgotten the contests In Massa-
chusetts between Edward Everett and
Marcus Morton for the Governorship-
the candidates of the Wing and Demo-
cratic parties. Morton was Judge of the
and was the first Democrat who ever
occupied the position in that common
wealth. Everett had been elected Gov
ernor three successive terms prior to 1899,
two of which Morton had contested with
him and been beaten. The law in that
State required a majority of all the votes
east to elect. and Morton received 81, O34
votes, Everett 50,725, and there were
scattering votes to the number of 307,
giving Morton one more than half of all
the gubernatorial ballots thrown Had
one of the Morton voters given his ballot
for Everett, there would have been 10
choice, and the election would have de-
pended on the Legislature. There was
no attempt made by the Wing State Off
cials to reduce the Democratic total of
figures by casting out single vote sus-
picioned of illegality. The Southern
Bourbon method of counting out had not
been invented, or at any rate it had not
found way TO New England, where at a
later date a whole State was thrown into
revolutionary ferment by bold and I'M
whom the people had fairly elected.

The Newfoundlers Still Firm

The people of the British province of
Newfoundland still strongly persist in
their opposition to confederation. There
are reasons which they have fully consid-
cred, which cause them to have great re-
luctance to be swallowed up in the
Dominion. The Colonist, an opposing
newspaper, expresses the opinion that the
scheme Is dead for the present. There
was recently held in the chief town of the
province largely attended meeting Of
the citizens opposed to confederation.
Many speeches were made against the
scheme, and resolutions were adopted
protesting against the departure of any
deputation to Ottawa to negotiate terms
for the admission of this Colony into the
Dominion of Canada"
The Colonist says "The meeting gave
evidence, if such were wanting, that the
heart of the metropolis is sound to the
core on the great question of maintaining
the rights which were won in the struggle
for responsible government. Among
those present were some of the veterans
who carried the flag of victory in the bat
tie to retain these rights in 90. The old
spirit Is again aroused, aud with the new
blood which this generation infuses into
the fight, the contest against the confed-
Grafton intriguers cannot fail to result in
their overwhelming defeat"
Other accounts represent the opposition
to the confederation scheme, which has
from the beginning strongly manifested it
self, TO have now reached such proportions
IA to cause the Government to hesitate be
fore taking any steps. II Is said that the
whole mercantile community, from the
leading capitalists TO the smallest traders,
are almost unit against il. From what
ever cause, nearly the whole Roman Cath
Ollie portion of the population, numbering
$4,000 out of 100000, are also against it,
and with very few exceptions their clergy
are either opposed to il or neutral. The
whole weight of capital, with all its con-
nections and influences throughout the
island and the full strength of powerful
church, are opposed to union. The feel
ing in the colony about entering the Do
minion, with its enormous taxation and \
national debt of S2S4 zoo, 900, is SO strong
that the Provincial Government had to
abandon all hope of carrying the scheme
to a conference.

Such straws as these are very sugges-
tive. They can have but one meaning.
A delegation of l02 old soldiers from
Albany, n. y, were returning home
from Antietam, where they had been
holding reunion with other regiments,
when they took straw vote on the Presi-
dental question, with this result; Harri-
son, 81; Cleveland 10; Fiske 1. OF the
l02 in the delegation go voted for Cleve-
land in 1884.
The veterans are getting to understand
Grover almost as we'll as the more re-
spectacle majority of the citizens of
Buffalo. Those who have doubts in these
regards will have to wait only few more
weeks.

Prohibition States.

In reply to request for information
through this paper as to what Republican
States have prohibltory laws, the correct
answer is-Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Iowa and Kansas.
There are no Democratic States which
have State prohibition, The Democratic
States of Georgia and Missouri have Local
Option laws. under which any County by
so voting can have Prohibition. The Re-
publican States of Michigan and New Jer-
sey have similar laws. In all the North
ern and Western States the Democrats
oppose both State prohibition and Local
Option.

conclusively Answered


The Pfttsburg Dispatch, an independ-
ent newspaper conducted with marked
ability, free from partisan bitterness,
points out with distinctness the discrep-
ancy in the claims Of the defenders of the
Mills bill, an make. com pIete and Le-
Isive reply to the contention which Dem
cratic stump speakers all over the eoun
ry are making that the Mills bill onl'
proposes a reduction of ) to per cent il
ariff duties. 1t is furnished by the dee
aration Of the Democratic leaders, an
shen submitted will show that our Demo
ratio friends are guilty of juggling witt
the figures.
rne total customs duties collected in
1887 were s2l2,O0C, 900. Five per cent o;
his would be SIC, 600, 600, and per cen.
would be sl4, $4,000. Yet Mr.. Mills OF
he floor of Congress has declared that thu

point that is noted here is the remarkable
discrepancy between the declarations OF
the prominent Democrats in different
places.
Figures do not lie; but it would be haz-
ardous TO say as much for eminent states

81. ADAMS.
What came near being a serious accidep,
happened 10 a little twO-year-old daughter
of II c. Prescott, heavy glass paneled
door falling from its hinges on her one of
the glass panels striking her on the head
and breaking the panel leaving her sitting
on the floor with the broken glass around
her A few bruises on her head was the
extent of her injuries but il was a narrow
escape from serious, if not fatal accident.
Mrs. Josie Mayo, who had forty-pound
tumor taken from her side and breast five
weeks ago, died from the effects of the op-
Grafton last week. Her friends were hopeful
for time that she would get better but il
was not TO be. She was kind and devoted
daughter and wife and has gone to her re-
ward. Her husband and relatives have the
sympathy of all in their sad bereavement.
Fairfield.
Our people are surprised to learn that Miss
Sadie Clark, for so long time telegraph
operator at this place had resigned She
will be missed by her many friends, who re-
greet also the illness of her father. A. w.
Clark, station master for many years. She
leaves the position in order to assist in taking
care of him. 1t was hoped that the new
conner W0uIu De MISS LOCKWOOD of Augusta
who has so many strong friends in town, but
to-day Mr.. MeCurdy, who has filled the posi-
ton at Burnham for several years, reported
for duty by order of the managers. The
report is current that the Office is to be
moved to the freight station, not with the
thought of accommodating our business in
terests, for to do that the office would be
located on the Main street, but for reasons
known only to outsiders and strangers
With all its business interests Fairfield seems
powerless 10 secure of the railroad company
the favors granted many small
er places. One thing is needed
at our station and that is a covered platform.
The travel is large and demands more atten-
ton at the hands of the officials-Now that
the large opera house is up and boarded the
projectors of the enterprise demand that the
two story storehouse owned ny W. Allen 4
Co be moved where it will not obstruct their
view of the new hall. With what Justice this
claim Is made we know not.-The rain storm
of the past week has not only demoralized
trade, but been the cause of much sickness
throughout the village. Several cases of ty-
phoid fever are reported.

The Terrible Facts.

One of the pet Democratic Free Trade
orators is Frank Hurd of Ohio. Not long
since he made an elaborate argument to
prove that Ireland has not been so great
sufferer from British Free Trade egisla-
ton as Protectionists have maintained
Z. ONeill, a competent writer on Irish
affairs, has replied to Hurd, giving some
highly suggestive figures since Free Trade
was forced on the people of Ireland.
These do not relate to exported grain or
animals or ships which carry them, but to
Irish human beings. Imperial Free
Trade was adopted in 1916; Free Trade
between Ireland and Great Britain in 1921
Mulhall, in his FIFTY Years of National
(British) Progress" under the title of
'Ireland' says: "'rhe present reign has
been the most disastrous since that of
Elizabeth, as the following statistics
show:

The first duty of the Irish-American is to
this country. Its interests are his. If he
believes Free Trade will benefit the United
States he will vote with Mr.. Hurd, and if
he believes a Protective policy to be best
he will vote on the other side.-P O'NeiIl

The present occupant of the Presden-
tial house at Washington seems to be well
understood by many of the British editors.
They are very indulgent as to his vaga-
ries, caring little for his Inconsistencies
provided he can be placed for another
four years where he can aid them in their
Free Trade schemes. Quite as clearly as
the American press, the London news
papers recognize the fact that Cleveland
extreme retaliation talk means nothing
really hostile to British interests, and
they are willing that their candidate for
the Presidency should make show of
threats in the hope of gaining Irish votes.
