A Danger to be Avoided.

The list of prominent Republicans who
apprehend danger in the nomination of a
State treasurer for the goyenorship during
his term Of Office is growing. The Hon.
William Rogers of Bath adds his protest to
those already offered by the Hon. J. w.
Wakefield, the Hon. j. w, Fairbanks and
the Hon. Z. II. Banks, against such course,
in weighty letter which is published else
where. These gentlemen voice feeling by
no means confined to themselves, but which
is very prevalent among business men. Are
the Republican delegates, or the majority of
them, who meet in convention in this city
week from next Tuesday going to ignore this
matter land proceed to nominate Mr. Bur-
leigh in the face of it? The question is one
of great moment and may have an important
bearing on the campaign which is to follow.
Maine is strong Republican State to-day,
but it is so because the Republicans have
been careful in the past to select good can
didates and to pursue a sound policy in the

One American fishing vessel, the Druid, is
reported to have bought license of the Do
minion government under the modus ciuendi
clause Of the fishery treaty. Under this IL
cense the Druid gets the privilege of buying
bait and supplies, but not the privilege of
fishing within the three mile limit. In other
words, she gets nothing but what the United
States Senate and House of Representatives
and Secretary Bayard up to the time of
the conclusion of the fishery treaty,
claimed belonged to her as matter
of right. The cost of license is about
s137, and If fishing proves as improbable
this season as it did last, this payment will
prove very serious tax.

By the time the Democratic Congressman
get through fixing the Mills bill so it won't
affect any industries in their districts, at
least until after election, Mr.. Mills will
hardly recognize his offspring. Indeed the
free trade newspapers are already suggest
ing that it may be so much changed that the
President cannot sign it without recanting
his free trade message. There will be enough
of it left, however, to strike some damaging
blows to industries in Republican States
which the Democrats have no hope of carry
ing, like Maine.

MIR. CLEAVES AT PITTSFIELD.
[Pittsfield Adyertiser.l
The especial prominence which the Repub-
llcan gubernatorial canvass has given Mr..
Cleaves at this time drew large and appre-
eral opinion here among men of his party
that If Mr.. Cleaves is not nominated it will
not be because of their non-appreciation of
his fitness for the office.
THE COMING CONVENTION.
[Bridgton News1
The very strong arguments now being
urged against the nomination Of the State
Treasurer while an incumbent of that office,
coupled with Mr.. Cleaves's superior claims
in point of natural ability, legal training,
and popularity among the rank and file,
render it reasonably certain that a good
many votes will be changed on the floor of
the convention. The State Convention may
safely be relied upon to act the part of wis
dom, and at this juncture there seems no
question that the nomination of Mr.. Cleaves
Is included in this programme.

The Albany Journal says that SO far as the
State of New York is concerned its delaga-
ton will be solid for Mr.. Depew if he will
consent to run. Mr.. Hiscock's relations
with Mr.. Depew are very friendly and Mr..
Plat as well as Mr.. Hiscock has said to his
friends that If Mr. Depew wanted the united
delegation from the State Of New York he
would be very glad, with Mr. Blaine out of
the way, to favor union upon Depew.
Warner Miller's friends, too, have FASTENED
to assure Mr.. Dewew that they would give
him their hearty support and from every
part OF the State beginning at Buffalo, where
the Depew sentiment is very strong, the
delegates have with one voice expressed
sincere and earnest desire to have Mr. Depew
consent to be the choice of New York
Though Mr.. Depew has not absolutely con-
scented to be candidate, he has on the other
hand not absolutely refused. He has said
that he does not seek the nomination and
does not want it, but that he does not fear
the work of the campaign or shirk It's respon-

There is one trust we should like to see
Sformed, and that is a trust of the young
women who supply education to the urchins
in tho country schools. The market price of
learning ifl> Maine is scandalously low. The
annual report Of the School Supervisor of
Pennington. one Of the most prosperous
towns in Maine, shows that the average
wages of female teachers in that town the
l~st year has been 1886 pei. week. excluding
board. The average cost of board per week
has been $40, making the total expenditure
per week for the services of these teachers
the sum total of $685. The teacheris ex-
pected to show her appreciation of this mag
nifcsnt outlay in her favor, by being the best
dressed. the sweetest tempered and the most
ruthlessly criticised young lady in the whole
neighborhood. But we are afraid that the
iron law Of supply and demand has a sway
over the country school houses too strong to
be broken by anything the teachers may do.
