Democrat, Gen. w. S. Rosecrans,

Army with the rank Of brigadier

The Direct tax bill, as was antici-
pated, passed the House, and has
now gone to Mr.. Cleveland. DEM
ocrats generally expect it will be
vetoed.
Representative Holman, chairman
OF the House committee on public
lands, does not think that either OF
the bills passed last session, one by
the Senate, FORGETTING various sections
of lands granted to railroad comparl-
les, win become a law this session ;
nor that any other legislation upon
the subject will be passed. The two
bills passed are now in the hands OF
conference committee, but there is
little hope Of agreement.

THE FOUR MILE LAW.

The Nashville Banner publishes
the following decision:
"Justice Lurton delivered in the
Supreme court Tuesday an opinion
touching the four-mile law, and one
in which a new legal point was de-
cided. r.. G. Smith was convicted
in the Circuit court of Gundy county
for selling liquor in violation of the
four-mile law and sentenced to pay
fine OF 800 and serve thirty days in
Jail. The defendent appealed. Smith
set up for defense that he sold liquor
within the corporate limits of Alta
mont, the county seat Of Grundy
county, and therefore he had not
violated the four-mile law. The
question then arose upon the validity
Of the corporation of AltamOnt. The
town was Incorporated by an act Of
the legislature in 1854, but before the
war the municipal government was
abandoned and was not kept up be
tween that time and 1885, In the
latter year mayor, aldermen, re-
,corder and city marshal were elected
by the united suffrages of nine citi-
-zens. These officers never performed
any duties, and before the time OF his
Indictment the mayor had died, the
recorder had gone away, and the city
marshal was performing none of the
duties of his office. 1t was put in de-
Tense, however, that the non-usal
of corporate powers did not vitiate
those powers, and the court agrees to
the general proposition, but held that
this case was an exception. The
legislature exempted Incorporated
towns from the provision of the four
mile law because of the police protec-
ton vouchsafed by the town in its
corporate capacity. In this case the
town authorized guaranteed no police
protection, and therefore the de-
fendent was a violator of the four,
mile law. In view of the fact that
Smith was advised by eminent coun,
sci that he would not be in violation
of law by selling liquor within the
corporate limits; the sentence of the
court below was modified co this ex
tent. The Imprisonment is RENTED
and the fine reduced to 80"

That this committee cordially md emphat-

PRESS COMMENTS
Upon State Convention.
TAroostook Herald.1


For some veeksthe Herald has been flying
at it, mast-head the name of Hon. Edwin C.
Burleigh, Aroostook' 9 candidate for Governor.
subject Of course, to the decision of the State
Convention. That convention assembled in
Portland last week, and, IS our readers are
aware, gave US authority to keep his name
at the head of our columns as a candidate of
the Republicans of Maine for the Office OF
Governor. until September, when we expect
he will be elected by about 10000 majority.
The fact that our candidate was endorsed
on the first ballot by liz majority over two
other candidates, both strong and popular with
the people, either amply qualified for the
position, by the largest convention of repre-
sentative men ever assembled in Maine, at
tests to the remarkable, aye wonderful popu-
larity Of Aroostooks favorite son, in the
State. Aroostook had l04 votes in that con-
vention, and gave l04 votes for Mr.. Burleigh,
being the only county in the State that was a
unit for any candidate. And this is pretty
clear index to the estimation in which Mr..
Burieigh is held in the land of his birth.
The contest was clear cut, earnest, and
yet in the main was conducted as all such
contests should be, without bitterness or i'll
feeling. But the opposition counted on a
"split" if Mr.. Burleigh should be nominated.
In this they are wofully disappointed. Re-
publicans are not in the habit Of doing that
thing. When an honest convention fairly
makes selection, the nominee becomes the
candidate of all, without regard to previous
| preferences. Did the Democrats imagine
| that such men as Cleaves, and Marble, and
| Drummond, and Drew, and Robe, and a
host of other good men and true, would igpore
the action of their party and go back on theil
record! If SO they didn't know the stuff Of
which Republicans are made. Democrat
might do that thing, Republicans never.
OF our universally popular candidate fol
Governor we need not speak further. He i
known to be aple, honest and faithful tt
every trust reposed in him. He has beer
placed upon platform that must commend
itself to every thoughtful, candid citizen ant
his vote next September will attest NOR
strongly than any words can do that tn
convention made no mistake"

There Is no more vigorous speaker in
Congress than Senator Ingalls, and the re-
port that he is preparing speech on the
fisheries treaty is causing the Democrats
lots Of uneasiness. That is matter which
they much prefer should not be aired
much. The great majority of the Ameri-
can people are not in mood to take kind
~ to cowardly surrender of American
rights to England, and they view this
episode in the Cleveland administration
with intense disgust. 1t is understood
that senator ingalls, will take the ground
that the best use that could be made of
that treaty would be to twist it into curl
papers for the star-eyed goddess of Free
Trade.

I New York Tribune. |


II Is worth noting that the British
journals have precisely the same unfavor-
able opinion of the Republican platform
which Is expressed in this country by
Democrats or assistant Democrats. To
the British and the Mugwump mind the
resolutions betoken mental imbecilty or
amazing ignorance; they are the work of
economic idiots. Ii is exceedingly graft
flying to the great party which finds its
convictions and aims stated with clear
ness and force in this platform, that the
British mind does not approve that docu-
ment. One of the surest proofs that the
Democratic platform does not meet the
needs Of American industries is found in
the chorus of satisfaction with which il is
greeted in England. Those who are most
anxious to break down industries of
this country regard the Democratic
utteranee with passionate appreciation.
So 1t Is evidence that the Republican party
proposes just what American labor needs,
when British foes of American industry
sputter out their wrath or their contempt
for the economic barbarism of the Repub-
lican platform.
The Democrat and Mugwump ape British
opinions, rs the little dude apes British
manners. Nothing would more distress
their inmost souls than to be suspected of
genuine Amercanism in economic belief.
And yet sixty millions of Americans ought
to be aware that the matchless growth and
success of their own Nation. under the
policies of the Republican party. have made
British theories and methods appear con-
temptible to Englishmen who think. One
has only to observe the rapid adoption of
essentially American policies, not only by
one Continental nation after another, but
even by every British colony 10 realize
that the example and success of this Nation
are revolutionizing the worlds opinion
Even in Great Britain, a growing and
already powerful body of thinking men
demands change of policy. Farmers
complain that free trade ruins
them; workingmen prove that it robs
them of manhood and earnings at once;
many branches of industry, crippled
already, pray for a change before Free
Trade works their complete extinction on
British soil What amazing folly for
Americans, after such contrasting en-
perience, to pick up the theories which
all the rest of the world is discarding and
to abandon the policy which has made
this Nation the envy of all others.
But 1t Is this amazing folly which I'M
der the leadership of President Cleveland,
the Democratic party proposes as its
distinctive policy. 1t is the Republican
protest against this unspeakably foolish
proposal which British, Democratic and
Mugwump journals agree in deriding as
economic barbarism. Their agreement
ought to make it easy for American voters
to decide.
