Politics and the treasury.

The Republican party appears to be in
danger of committing an act which in the
future it may have cause to regret. 1t ought
to set its face strongly against mixing up the
treasury in politics instead of that it seems
inclined to set a precedent in favor Of this
very thing by nominating for governor a
state treasurer during his term in office. We
are happy to say, however, that thoughtful
Republicans are beginning to realize the
danger OF such course. and to make them
selves heard in opposition The Hon. j. w.
Wakefield, one Of the best known Republi-
cans in the State, has written strong letter
in opposition to this course, which has al
ready been given to our readers. In this
weeks issue of the Pennington Chronicle is
a letter from the Hon. j. w. Fairbanks, one
of the most prominent Republicans Of Frank
lin County, in which he points out in Ian
guage strong, but none too strong. the evil Of
the course that tine supporters Of Mr. Bur

The accidents from the electric light wires
in New York city are becoming so frequent
that a grave problem is suggested to the
people of great or even moderate sized cities,
where the telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires are strung near together One of
the newspapers of the metropolis not long
ago investigated the conditions Of the wires
in the city. 1t was found that over the dan
gerous electric light wires are strung hun
dreds of telegraph telephone, fire, police and
messenger wires, ready to carry the deadly
current into homes, stores and offices, or to
break and carry death to unwary pedestri-
ans in case accident or the effects Of time
destroy the insulation OF the heavily charged
light wires. Several deaths AID severe fires
have been caused in this way. Thursday
papers reported destructive fire in one of
the New York telephone stations, caused by
a telephone wire falling on 10 an electric
light wire at place where The insulating
cover had probably worn off. The intense
electric current was carried on the telephone
wire to the central office, where it set fire to
the switchboard. The flames spread in
stantly and a fifty thousand dollar fire was
the result. Fires Of this sort are likely to
occur often in New York city, because of
the great number of wires. In a recent in
quest over the body of man killed by the
wires, Chairman Moses, of the National
Electric Light Company, gave a vivid de-
scription of the danger that lurked in the
most innocent looking wires. He was of the
opinion that in the electric light wires them
selves there was little danger, but he
thought that in the old telephone and tele-
graph wires that were not well cared for,
there might be great danger If one of them
came in contact with an electric light wire
and should be hit accidentally by a person.
any current which might be in the ground
would be attracted and the person, being the
means of completing the circuit, would of
course be killed. He would give to the pub
lie the advice he gave his children: "Neyer
touch wire" In smaller cities where the
wires are fewer and better cared for, such
sweeping advice may not be needed; but it
is nevertheless good plan TO try no expert
ments with the wires anywhere. They may

leigh are urging upon the Republican party
NJ. Enirhnnks Saws.

Mr.. Fairbanks says;
Mr. Burleigh is now Treasurer of the State, and
his term of office does not expire until his accounts
are audited by a committee, which IS to be chosen
when the Legislature meets in January, 1889. The
time required for settlement Is about Two weeks
and the Treasmer's bond holds good until a new
Treasurer is elected and qualified, and his bond
accepted. The Treasurer and his employees have
moral right TO be engaged In politics or specie
lotion. Our financial credit is the keyto the sue
cess Of all the industries OF the State. We have lad
one experience of maladninistratisn since The
Republican party was formed, in Benjamin ID.
Peck. II the rule not TO NEEDLE with outside mat.
tiers had been strictly adhered TO l.. his case the
tax payers of Maine would have been saved some
thing like from fifty TO one hundred thousand dol
lars. Can the Republicans of Maine ignore the
obligations which the oath requires Of The Treas
urer, by aiding him in his present political cam
paign? The precedent is dangerous one.
The constitution of Maine forbids the
treasurer to engage in any business of trade
or commerce during his term of Office By
the letter of the law he is not forbidden to
engage in politics. But the obvious purpose
of the constitution is to guard the treasurer
against temptation, and to prevent him from
engaging in any business that would serious
ly distract his attention from the duties OF
his Office. May not the temptation OF a po-
litical campaign, which cannot be conducted
without expenditures of money ana time
| be quite as serious as the temptations OF
any business of trade or commerce are likely
| to be? Shall the Republican party observe
the letter of the fundamental law, or shall
it live up to the spirit of the law as well?
How would the stockholders of large cor
poration enjoy having their treasurer, whose
duty it was to take care of their funds, en-
gage in political campaign in his own IN
terest. which might require a large expendi-
ture, on his part, of both time ana money?
Would they not detect some improperly in
it, and would they not protest against it as
setting dangerous precedent. even though
| they anticipate no harm from the particular
act? Is the case any different when the cor
| poration is the State and the stockholders
are the whole people?
1t will be urged that no immediate harm
will come to the State from allowing Mr..
Burleigh to engage in political campaign.
We do not claim that there will. No doubt
| many of our State treasurers could have en-
gagged in the business of trade or commerce
without inhicting injury to the State. But a
bad precedent is always dangerous. And to
encourage the Treasurer of the State to
engage in politics is, as Mr.. Fairbanks says,
to set bad precedent.

Mr. Randalps defeat in the Pennsylvania
convention will undoubtedly seriously affect
his influence with the protection Democrats
of the House, and henceforth his following

The chances of the passage OF the Mills bill
are therefore materially improved by Mr..

with a view to that largely that his defeat
was planned and executed. That the Penn

The result of the bye-election in Southamp-
ton has proved very inspiring to the Glad
stonians with the contrary effect on the Con-
servatives. A Conservative had occupied
the seat and the Conservatives expected to
retain it. Everything seemed in their favor
for the Liberal candidate was absent and all
the campaigning done for him was done by
his wife and daughter. Nevertheless the
Conservatives were routed and the Liberal
candidate elected by thousand majority.
Perhaps part of the victory may be cred
tied to the efficiency of women as election
eering agents.

The Burlington strike has been officially
declared off. 1t was practically off weeks
ago, for the road had all the men it needed
and was doing its business as regularly as if
no strike had ever been inaugurated. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is
perhaps the most intelligent and the most
able labor organization in the country, and
there is reason to believe that in this case
they had right on their side. The fail
ure is due to the fact that there are plenty of
engineers outside their organization who
cannot be controlled by it, and it has demon
strated anew that a monopoly of labor is
practically impossible.

1t seems to be fair inference from para
graph in the Augusta Age on the Democratic
State convention that the chief reason why
the convention did not adopt license plank
was because it was thought it might distract
attention from the great question of tariff
reform. The Age thinks that one question
is all the people are capable of considering
at one time. After tariff reform is secured,
then the party will be in a condition to de-
velop the Belfast plan of promoting temper
ance by establishing in every town "a certain
number of legalized rumshops.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The History of Parsonsfield, from 1771 to
1888. To write good town history requires
| peculiar order of TALENT hence, good town
histories are rare. But anything which pre-
serves, even in an imperfect form, the rec
ords of community for considerable
period is of value, and the efforts of any in
dividual who collects and puts in permanent
form such records, should be commended,
and his name should be inscribed upon the
honored roll of public benefactors. The
book before us is one Of the better class of
town histories which are now so frequently
dropping from the press, and it not only
treats of the beginnings of the town and its
national growth and prosperity, but presents
to the reader personal sketches of its people
in all walks of life; its lawyers, ministers,
physicians, merchants, politicians, authors,
teachers, ct id genus onne. There are also
to be found in the five hundred pages which
comprise the volume, interesting accounts of
the schools and churches of Parsonsfeld;
genealoges Of its principal families, etc.,
etc., in fact, the work covers wide field and
must not only prove valuable to the histori-
cal student, but have an especial interest for
natives of the town both at home and
abroad. Among the names mentioned in
the book, which are familiar to Portland
people, may be found the following: Hon.
James W. Bradbury; l.. d. M. Sweat, Esq. !;
DIR. John NJ. Buzzell; Judge Nathan Cliff
ford and Rev. Asa Dalton. The three first
are natives of Parsonsield, and the latter a
connection of Samuel Dalton, formerly a
| prominent citizen of the town. A sketch of
the Rev. Asa Dalton, accompanied by por-
trait, which hardly does the reverend gentle
man justice, are to be found in the volume.
OF the portraits in the book, some are excel
lent and others unsatisfactory. Book max
ers should learn that book is better with
out illustrations than with poor ones. Upon
the whole, however, the book is creditable to
the author, though we could wish that such
queer statement as the following had been
left out; viz: During this time he ma
Miss Blank" Such an abbreviation is
proper enough in a condensed genealogical
table, but in biographical sketch is improp-
er. We are also told that certain enter
prising firm deserve brief mention" though
the writer does not intend to speak dispar-
aglngly of it, Such faults as these, however,
are to be overlooked, for, it not only requires
special training, but, as before remarked,
exceptional talent to write the model town
history, and at this early stage of our nat
ional existence we should not expect too
much. Not only does the book contain
vast quantity of valuable matter but it is
well printed and made up, and the price is
low; namely, $3.50 for cloth, $3.50, library,
and Sc for morocco, to which should be
added 80 cts. for postages Orders should be
