benefited the South. He vetoed the Civil
War bill, and has spent much of his time

years. Why hasn't it enacted any laws

Loss on the Third Party Vote.

In 1886 the party in this State which is
now supporting Fisk and Brooks, gave
Clark for Governor 1868 notes.-the high
est number 1t has ever given. This year
1851 votes, a loss of III, or nearly 20 per
cent. As the total vote of the State this
year Ia considerably more than it was in
1886, the real third party loss is more than
the above figures indicate. This largely
reduced vote is an unmistakable indication
that the temperance people of Maine are
emphatically opposed to the efforts of st.
John, Miss willard. Mr.. Brooks, and those

postpone to a long time in the future any

why the Third Party makes no

The lesson of these facts is also to show

Grover had little lamb,

The lamb got into Congress once
Ana lost its precious wool:
The Democrats there cut il off
To please old Johnny Bull.
And when the Fall elections came,
said Grover, daniel, dear,
Wen hear ow from that little lamb
Which once We loved to sh. ar.

We clipped il very close, you know,

THEN AND NOW.

Among the addresses delivered before the Inter-
national Council, one particularly interesting is
that by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, recounting her
experiences in the early days of the suffrage move
ment. 1t was she and Lucreta Mott who called
the first convection of women and there it was
the suffrage infant was born-a poor, weakly little
creature that nobody seemed to want, and every
body either riGculed or revied. One can easily
pieture those two heroic women, putting their
heads together, planning and striving to nurse
their puny offspring to health and strength.
Susan B. Anthony seems to have come to the
rescue with bottle of tonic, and from that hour
the infant grew. 1t is wonderful what obstacles
those brave women were enabled to surmount.
After describing the convention, which had more
than fulfilled her expectations, Mrs. Stanton con-
tnues:
Now, said I, the world will take this at once.

plainly as l do Imagine my surprise, after the

ST. PETERSBURG, Mach 10.-Newspa-
rers to day appear in mourn ing for
and published neCrologies of the dead
Emperor Of Germany. All the papers
express sympathy at the loss sustained,
they say, not only by Germany, but
by the whole world.
Journal de 81. Petersburg says: "The
death of Emperor William is not less
deeply regretted in Russia than in Ger
many. The Russian dynasty loved the
deceased Emperor as friend, who was
ever found as the post of duty or dan
ger. He was fortunate soldier during
the first part Of his reign, and knew
how TO devote the remaining tWo-thirds
TO the preservation of teace. He died
covered with imperishabla glory and
surrounded by his subjects love.
universal veneration and admiration "
Other papers eXtol the deceased for
his poble-miHded qualities and speak
of him SIS great patriot and victorious
commander. They comment upon the
turning point in political affairs, which
they consider the Emperor's disappear
ance will make. This, they say, is a
SUI ject for most serious reflection.
N0Ue0 VfenlQn asks: will not the
weII-known influence of Empress Vic
toria over Emperor Frederick affect the
political omnipoterce which Prince
Bismarck has hitherto eXercised?" The
same paper expresses doubt as to En-
peror Frederick's physical capacity to
govern himself, but hope the question
of actual government in the interests of
united Germany may be settled with
out difficulty.
PARIS, March 10.-A high military
officer and suite will represent France
at the funeral of the Emperor.
BERLIN, March 10.-The soldiers took
the oath of allegiance to the new En-
peror to-day. The court has gone into
mourning for three months, com

the Emperor Ere ier;ck's reply to the
message of coincidence sent by Presi-
dent Carnot, of France, was very
cordial, and that he expressed hope
that the relations between the two
countries might continue friendly.

to King Humbert the signs made by the
Emperor and conyersed with the

suffering from fatigue, but otherwise he
was in his normal condition. His throat
was closely muffled, and he wore

silent parting between the two rulers
was affecting. King Humbert's suite
