legislator, he resolutely declined the
snowy rewards Of politics; his great
knowledge Of National and inseTna-
tional law forced his selection as coun-

Government and that faultless pre-
science which guided Grant in his
selection Of men for important posi-

of Chief-Justicc Morrison Remick
Waite.
When he was appointed Chief JUS
tice. in 1874, it was his reputation as a
just and conscientious man that caused
the appointment to be so well received
in all sections Of the country. No
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
ever possessed to . greater degree the

did Judge Waite. and political leaders

eft q those whom they loved better
than themselves. that they have come
to desire it in great numbers. We may
rejoice in the fact or lament it accord

but there Is no doubt that wheSs the
cry For self-protection" will rally
one woman to the cause Of woman sur
frage. the cry '.For home protectjeU''
will rally twenty. This is proof enough
that selfishness on the part Of women
does not lie at the bottom Of their de-
mand for the suffrage.
1t is not easy to see why woman suf-
frnge should destroy the home. or lead
to the alarming moral consequences
that Mrs Corbin predicts. There is
no logical connection between univcr-
sal suffrage and universal immortality.
1t will hardly be claimed that women
at present have more lax notions than
men in regard to the obligations Of
social purity. Indeed. "Ouida" and
other advocates of loose theories OPP
pose woman suffrage on the very
ground that women would punish
Offenses against the home with too
great severity. If women were allow
ed to vote tomorrow, the majority of
them certainly would not vote for 1.-THE
abrOgaticn of marriage and paternal
responsibility" Is there any thing in
a deeper study Of political economy to
make them favor such views? On the
contrary. in the opinion of most of US.
wider knowledge would simply REIN
force woman's instructive horror of
impurity with reasons and arguments
of the weightiest character. 1t is not
from equal rights and broader edu-
cation that immortality is likely to re-
suit. but rather from ignorance and
frivolitv. and an unequaled standard
of morals for men and women.
To say that woman suffrage will sub
vert 1.-THE home, the church and the
State" is to imply that these institu-
tons are all based upon the absolute
authority of one sex over the other. as
their cornerstone. The advocates of
woman suffrage believe. on the other
hand, that this absolute authority is
incompatible with the perfect develop
ment either of the home, the church,
or the State; of the State. because
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed" and
the only known method of giving po-
litical consent is by the ballot; of the
church. because In the ideal church Of
the future ''there shall be neither Jew
nor Greek. there shall be neither bond
nor free. there shall be neither male
nor female;" of the home. because. as
Charles Kingsley said. wherever n
man and wife are really hap

ing and despising. not by assert

Bourbons In Council.

came before his audience under peculiarly
trying circumstances. He had been adver-
tised extensively as the most eloquent ora
tor of the west, and no doubt felt somewhat
ashamed of the deception. Whoever the
most eloquent son of the west may be it Is
perfectly safe to say that he wears u hat many
sizes larger than that Of j. Sterling Morton.
Mr.. Morton confined his remarks TO gener-
alities He failed to tell his audience how
the Mills bill strikes blow at nearly every
prominent Maine industry.
He passed lightly, very lightly, over Pres
i1ent Cleveland's pension vetoes and the
cowardly attitude Of the administration as
regards our fishery rights.
The hall was well filed at the beginning
of the speech but many left before II closed.
Mr. Morton was followed briefly by
Thomas Leigh, Jr., who spoke briefly to the
rear guard of the audience.

BANGOR, Aug. 2S.
Eight o'clock this evening the finest cam.
paign procession ever witnessed in this city
was formed on Maine ST. opposite the repub-
lican headquarters. 1t was estimated to be
over mile in extent. The city was ablaze
with illuminations and pyrotechnics, and a
vast but remarkably orderly crowd th-onged
the streets. The procession marched
the principal streets, including Broadway,
where they halted a short time before the
residence of Hon. CA. Boutelle, and ON Fifth
St, passed Hon. Hannibal Hamlin's house.
Following is the order of the procession :;
Cowboys. Bangor band, Boutelle Club, 10y
al League, Dyers band, State College Har-
son Club, Tippecanoe Club, Bangor, Harri-
son Guards, Bangor, St. Joseph's band, Tip
pecanoe Club, Augusta, Westbrook band.
Wesbrook Republican Club, Harrison Ii
gers, Chambers band, Pioneers of Portland,
Tippecanoe Club. Portland, Portland Drum.
Corps, Harrison Guards. Portland Portland
Military.
The Loyal League of Bangor, gave mag
nifcent display of platoon marching and
were frequently applauded by the delighted
crowds. They are finely uniformed
and are considered by some to be
the best campaign company in
New England. The procession halted at
the junction of Court and Ohio streets,
while beautiful Harrison & Morton cam
paign flag was thrown to the breeze. At the
close of the parade, the visiting COM
panies were escorted 10 the depot
by the Bangor clubs, and departed, all vot-
ing that this was the finest campaign parade
ever witnessed in tn, State of Maine. The
crowd was truly remarkable in that there
was not the slightest disturbance or commo-
tion. In this it contrasted strongly with the
democratic barbecue recently held in this
city.

There was democratic flag raising at

were twelve men in the procession (not in

dressed the assembly. One democratic

he never before saw procession whose rear
guard came so close on the heels of the

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
Sends Congress a Communication Con-
Cerning Fisheries.


WAsHrNGToN, Aug. 90.
The President submitted communication
to Congress this afternoon regarding the fish
cry question. 1t says that as the Senate has
defeated the fishery treaty, it has only re-
mained for him to try to make other arrange
ments relative to the question. While he
deplored the circumstances he felt it his duty
to recommend retaliation as far as it would
benefit and would not be to the disadvantage
of the American people, and
this can be best done BY
enforcing article 33 of treaty of 1871, which
allows the governments of both countries to
receive goods to be forwarded to other
countries free of duty in bond
if entered at the ports of New York, Boston
and Portland in the United States and other
ports stipulated in the treaty in the British
provinces. In 1886, the government re
ceived notice that the fishermen were mo
longer to be allowed to ship fish in bond free
through the Canadian provinces, and it had
been enforced ever since greatly to the det-
riment of American people.
