"A GOOD CAESAR IN EUROPE. /"
The Ominous Possibilities which may
Follow the Crown Princes Death.
From the London Spectator. !

If the Crown Prince does not recover,
young soldier will replace mature states
man on the strongest throne in the world:
the stone throne with its feet of cannon balls;
and only the God whose mysterious provi-
dence has struck down the Crown Prince,
knows what that may mean for the civiliza-
ton of Europe. which tends at this moment
to become a huge and dreary barrack, in
which all the objects of life are sacrificed to
the necessity of keeping alive.
1t is most unwise, We must add it is not
gracious, under such circumstances to keep
up courtly fiction which cannot benefit the
prince, but can and does diminish the fervor
and sympathy with which his illness is re-
garded by all who either understand the facts
or who can feel for suffering lifted to the
very heights of pathos by what seems to be
the irony of fate. 1t is enc who might have
been. and, in the usual course of human
affairs, ought to have been good Caesar in

Reno, only catching breath through silver

BLAINEs CONGRESS.
The Plan Of the Republican Leader Re.
vived in the Present House.

Mr. McCreary, a member of Congress from
Kentucky, the other day called up his bill
authorizing the President to invite a Con-
ference t. the several governments on this
continent to discuss plans of arbitration for
the settlement of Engagements and to con-
slider the improvement of business intercourse
and commercial relations. In the course of
the debate Hon. VIM. Walter Phelps pointed
his lively and pungent way
shall only second the proposition which
has been so ably and eloquently advocated
by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Me-
Creary.) The merits of the proposition are
SO clear they need no demonstration His
eloquence and ability were needed only to
emphasize the fact that the Democratic party
had at last recongnized them and adopted
the scheme. Applause. No need ::of any
statement, either simple or emphatic to
show what it the relation of the Republican
party to this great project. History noted
and recorded it years ago.
1t was first introduced in another place
and by the leader of another party. Seven
years ago great Republican announced it to
the country and began to execute it. Death
stayed his arm. Three years passed and the
opportunity to complete this scheme and to
complete "A score of patriotic schemes similar
to this one, which the Democratic party will
one after another reluctantly adopt, seemed
to come to him. That opportunity passed
lost when the Republican party under his
presidential candidacy was defeated, miracu-
lousy, as when the Hebrew God permitted
c., L.. nd
thigh, with the jaw bone of an ass Laugh
teo and applause.
When this proposition was introduced
seven years ago it was a South American
congress" When it is introduced today it
is South American conference" Now, the
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. McCreary)
did not tell us why he had changed the name.
Needless TO do so. 1t has been the custom
in this country, and in all others, for people
to change the names of the children whom
they adopt. Laughter. Seven years ago
this South American congress, as scheme
which was to benefit all American people,
was first introduced, but the gentleman from
Kentucky has failed to tell us why the Dem
ocratc party waited so long to adopt it
Needless here for him to explain. Physiol-
ogists have told us that it takes seven years
to change every atom in body, so that at
the end of that period it shall stand a new
man, and he properly assumed that the in
telligence of this committee was such that
it could take cognizance that, under direct
and simple analogy the Democratic party
would have to wait seven years to eliminate
everything that was Republican from this
Republican measure. Laughter.
But this proposition wasa good proposition
now it is Democratic. 1t was a good project
seven years ago; it is good project now. II

gress;' it is a good thing when it is Nc

Be Sure to Vote To-day.

Cast your ballots today ~ the represent
tatives of your principles, which Just at
this time are far more important than your
preference for men. The two political
parties have candidates for the Mayoralty
who are respectable and worthy, and
either of whom would well administer the
affairs OF the city. But the Republicans
have good reasons to be- satisfied both
with their principles and the candidate
who represents them. Those Democrats
who believe in protecting American
labor and American manufactures,
who wish Augusta to become
a large and prosperous industrial city can
not now be satisfied with the principles
and attitude of their party, while they may
justly respect Mr.. Capen. Therefore to
be well pleased both with their principles
and the man they vote for, they will 90

country, all citizens who wish Maine
to become great manufacturing State,
will unite in voting so IA to make the
most emphatic protest against the Mills
tariff bill, the Cleveland Free Trade
manifesto, and the Bayard fishery sur

ing $3.50, 900 to consolidate sufficient
number of land titles and to improve and
secure our water-powcr 80 rs to surely
prepare the way for this city to live, grow,
and prosper. Free Trade and the rule of
the Old Bourbon Democracy OF the South
would completely make worthless the
sacrifices which Augusta has made to be

votes are facts. Republican principles
mean home business for our workmen, in

NO SURRENDER OF RIGHTS.
How Prescriptivs Privileges Long
Fought for Arc Given Up.
ROstOn Traveller.

Since this nation began its career there has
been no instance of such base desertion of
American citizens whose property has been
seized by foreign powers as in the late fishery
treaty. The claims of those who under the
American flag had commercial rights denied
them, and who have suffered insult. loss and
outrage from Nova Scotia officials, have been
in allegiance for two years, to be now dis
gracefully abandoned.
When we were three millions of people we
fought seven years against the armies of
England for equal rights in the nations of the
world. When we came to be twelve millions,
again we fought England to maintain our
national standing everywhere on land and on
sea. Now. with sixty millions. the nation
looks on and sees its citizens suffer loss and
ruin and does not even speak in their behalf
so far as to obtain for them any reparation
for their wrongs This is the most humiiating
spectacle yet presented for the reflection of
a free and Independent people,

We congratulate il upon this desirable change
which gives its readers such large increase

that the efforts of the Republican in the past
have been appreciated by the public, and a
degree of prosperity resulted which has en-

still more for its readers in the future. The

THEY NEED THE TARIFF.
Cement Laborers Say Their Business
Will Be Ruined by the Mills Bill

The cement laborors at Rosendale, Ulster
County, n. Y, are bitterly opposed to the
proposition in the Mills Tariff bill to put
their product on the free list, and propose to
take active measures to bring pressure to
bear on Congress to cause the defeat of this
clause of the bill at all events. To this end
preparations are being made to hold a mass
meeting at Rosendale within the next week
or ten days to protest against the taking off
of the twenty per cent. duty on cement.
This reduction" said one of them who
was in the city yesterday, simply means the
destruction of our industry or a reduction in
wages to a point where we could barely sub
sist. Many of our people have made
little homes for themselves, and if, by
means of this reduction. they should be
thrown out of work, it would mean the loss
of their life savings. This question is not a
political one with us. and any Congressman
who votes for that bill as it now stands can
do without our votes hereafter"
