THE LESSON OF ARKANSAS.
Will the Brigadiers Lay 1t to
Heart?
[Chicago Inter Ocean.l

The shot gun has been brought into use in
Arkansas since election. At Little Rock and
in st. Francis county the boldest efforts have
been made to steal the ballot boxes, and so
suppress the vote which was honestly cast
All this will not avail. The Democratic plu-
rality may be made to appear larger by the
destruction of records that tell of opposition
majorities, but the irrepressible facts are the
falling off in the Democratic vote and the in
crease of the opposition vote.
The brigadiers of the Southern tier will be
wise if they see the beginning of the end be-
fore it has progressed too far. The shot gun
era is Fastening to its close; the people who
work and pay taxes want free schools and
plenty Of them; they want better roads and
more mills and factories; they want protec-
tion to their own industries, and a home
market for the products of those industries
among well-paid and intelligent body of la
borers They are bent upon votingIfor these
things. and they are neither 'niggahs, sah,'
nor Yankee Republicans" who are bent on
voting. They are the white citizens who
work for a living; the negroes will vote with
them, and so will the'Y Yankee Republicans" !"
for the things fol which the vote are neces-
sary to truly republican form of govern
ment and to prosperous condition of society
The members of ''The Wheel" and the Unit
ed Labor party in the souther tier are net of
an easily terrified kind, and they know how
to handle guns in self-defense. The inevi-
table is near upon the brigadiers; the plain
common people who pay the taxes are going
to see that they are levied and expended for
the public good. And this is Republican
theory and practice. The Republican policy
is bound to rule in the southern tier, though
the persons enforcing it may not call them
selves Republicans. Wherever the American
people can make themselves felt at the bal
lot-box the Republican policies of free
education, protected industries, and pure
elections will prevail.

An Interesting Decision.

An interesting decision has been rendered
by Referees Jos. w. Symonds Of Portland,
and Richard Dresser of Auburn, in the dis
puted case between the towns of Minot and
Poland, relative to the settlement of the
settlement of the matter of the schools,
which was for so long a topic of townmeet-
ings and popular discussions.
The history of the case is as long as some
of the discussions have been, but it is per-
haps enough to say that for many years Mi
not and Poland maintained certain union
schools and built union school houses-a
brick grammar school on the Minot side of
Mechanic Falls and one or two wooden
school houses in Poland. Poland withdrew
from the union school system and broke, as
It were, the tie that bound. Under the law
Minot then had claim against Poland for
the formers equitable interest in the school
property in the latter town, Poland losing
her interest in the schools in Minot. The
referees were to decide the amount due the
claimant town. The referees have returned
their decision granting Minot $3.50 for its in
terest in the Minot Corner school house, and
nothing for its interest in the Mechanic
Falls on the Poland side.

and get small vessel. and with him, and a
small crew, come out, and then we could
share something The man then ran for the
mountain, where he remained all night. The
next morning we could see him from the yes

and found him. His statements now became
confused, and we abandoned the digging, In
the afternoon, as on the first voyage, a squall
came up ana we were compelled TO slip our
cable and make sail to save the vessel. After
the gale was over we went back 10 the an
chorage and recovered our anchor, and gave
up treasure seeking, and ON the ninth day
from Mona Isle we arrived in Portland with
the pirate on board. While at the Cape look
ing for vessel to go out again the pirate fell

career"

the isle with pirates, and there Is no doubt
but that there Is treasure buried there. He

man was knocked overheard by the main
boom; At the time, it was hinted by some
that the man was f0ully dealt with by in
terested parties. Capt. Pierce admits in his
communication, that he had an understand
ing with the pirate to go out again and
secure the treasure, and that they hastily
abandoned the enterprise ON the second
voyage for that purpose.
The leading spirits in these two expedi-
tions made two more voyages TO the same
island. The account Of the last one, given
by the mate of the vessel, who Is now living,
sheds light on the motive for 50 many
voyages to the island. -.

CUSTOMS FRAUDS.
Charges Made Concerning Calais
Officials In the Boston Herald.

The Boston Herald says it can be stated on
the best authority that Special Agent Mont
gomery's visit to Eastport and Calais has in
view extensive and important frauds on the
revenue department, in which officers of the
customs houses in both cities are concerned.
This system of defrauding the treasury has
been strongly organized and in full operation
during the past five years, and has given the
department at Washington no end of trouble
and expense This state Of things lhas been
kept quiet for the most part, but indications
Of what was going on have come to the sur
face from time to time. but no one outside
the department has any idea Of the amount
of corruption that has obtained. The recent
removals of Whidden, McNichol and others
from the Calais custom house have excited
considerable local feeling on account Of their
summary character, and now the resignation
of General Leayitt, Collector at Eastport.
the outcome of investigations that have been
going on for some time under the charge of
the special agents of the treasury. and now
although politically it is a bad time for max
ing removals and new appointments, the en-
tire workings of the ring will be thoroughly
exposed.
