Judge Riddle, of Pennsylvania, is

Judge Riddle, of Pennsylvania, is a very close observer and sometimes gives impressions to his court quite unexpect. ed to litigants, their representatives, ju- TOTS and spectators. In charging a grand jury a few days ago in reference to lotteries he remarked: "The history ofpublic morality in regard to lotteries, is quite curious. have lottery ticke, issued as far back as I76I, to aid in building church at Oxford. That church was after presided over by a brother of Presideat Buchanan. At that time lotteries were considered legitimate, and were almost as frequent as apothe. cary shops are to-day. But experience taught us they were demoralizing and stringent laws had to be passed against anything in the semblance of a lottery At the present day lotteries are held on. ly by two classes of people-very religi- ous people and very bad people-and strange to say the most difficult thing is to eradicate them among the good peo- ple."

Our New York daily contemporaries have been for some time endeavoring to awaken the attention of Congress to the necessity of ofrestricting pauper immigra. tion, and appear to have met with some degree ofsuccess. A congressional com mittee has recently been Summing it" in New York and some action will pro- bably soon be taken, especially since the Italian government is inclined to aid in suppressing the contract or "pardrone" system, against which the newspaper attacks are more particularly directed. This, says the Engineering and Mining Journal, however, is but step in the right direction, for there is no reason why paupers and criminals of all nation alities, French, German, Irish, Poles, so called "Hungarians," as we'll as Chinese, should not be included in the restriction
 These outcasts of Europe are dropped on our shores by governments wishing to be well rid of their criminals, by steamship companies in search of the few dollars passage money, by contractors and capitalists so thoroughly engrossed in the pursuit of wealth as to be blind oi indifferent to the blows they are striking at the very foundation of our national stability. They come in pouring numbers far too great too be assimilated by our people without grave risk of ma terially lowering our national moral standard. The pauper and crimina classes remain in the larger cities, while thel more abled-bodied seek the west there in some cases to be found in colon ies in which their national faults and pre- judices are perpetrated. It is time tho United States retired from the sentimen tai position of being the "home of the oppressed. It is the American who i! now becoming oppressed and needs pro- lection.

A number of the Republican papers on the coast are exulting over the con. version of Barclay Hendly from the faith of tariff reform Democracy to the protec. ton of free whisky Republicanism. Eighteen years ago he was beardless, briefess barrister, who wore his hair long, read Bryan oftener than Black. stone, and effected the grand, gloomy and peculiar" style. The Democrats of Sonoma county placed him on their Legislative ticket and as that county usually gave about 500 Democratic ma jority he was elected. In brief the party party sent him twice to the Legislature, twice elected him district attorney. and twice honored him with seat in Con. gress. In the meantime his father and brother died, leaving him quite a num- Der of cattle and large band of sheep, all of which he ranged on the Indian res. ervation, at Clear Lake in Mendacino county. When the government ordered the squatters to move their herds of sheen and cattle from the lands of the Indians. his Democracy wavered, and when a Democratic Congress placed wool on the free list, he forgot the honors and emoluments the party had showered upon his unworthy head, and in his grand, gloomy and peculiar style," fell in on the tail end of the Republican procession. Such is Barclay Hendley. Happy Democrats in losing him; unfor- tsnate Republicans in winning him.

Citizens of New Mexico and Arizona have lost over S2,ooo,ooo from Indian depredations during the last twenty years. Claims to that extent have been filed against the government, and if the Senate will concur in the Indian depre- dation court bill which has passed the House, there will at least be chance for them to be repaid within the next few years

The New York papers are authority for the statement that MT. Blaine and family, before starting for home, replen' ished their wardrobes thoroughly with British goods, laying in supply suAi- cient to last for years. This was done, we suppose, to help the highly.taxed American working man to compete with the pauper labor of Europe.

| man who have the interests of the Republic
can party and the success of the temperance
cause at heart. Mr. Cleaves' position upon
this question is better known to the people
of Maine than that Of Mr., Burleigh, for he
has record as public officer in the en-
forcement of cur laws during the five years
he was the trusted Attorney General of the
State of Maine. The record Is open to the
inspection of all and we challenge a most
rigid scrutiny. His administration as At
torney General was an honorable, conscien-
tious and faithful execution Of the laws and
performance Of public duties, and the record
will show that he was always present to up
hold and sustain the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law whenever that question was
involved in prosecutions before the highest
court He received the merited approval OF
the Court and the Executive for bis strict
performance of public duties, and vigorous
execution of the laws. Sustaining as ne mas
the policy of the Republican party, upon the
| temperance question, and believing in an
honest. vigorous and faithful execution OF
the laws of the State against crime and in
| temperance, he has the confidence of the
people. He has been tried as public officer
and the people have not been disappointed.
He has the moral courage to do his duty and
enforce the laws and will not act from ex-
pediency but from sense of conviction,
honesty and justice.
The article further says that Mr.. Cleaves'
following is composed very largely of men
| who are known to be in active opposition to
the enforcement of our prohibitory laws"
| A more unjust and untruthful statement was
! never uttered, and 1t will be repealed by an
indignant and high-minded people who be-
| lieve in honesty and fair play. Among his
| supporters in every section are thousands of
the most earnest friends of our prohibitory
| legislation, men who know personally and
| from his official record, his position, that
he can be trusted, and that there will be no
ietreat in the enforcement of our laws. Mis-
representation and insinuation will not add
to the strength of those who seek to employ
4 such unjust means.

cur rrouhies m MOROCCO.

The difficulties in which United States
Consul Lewis finds himself in Morocco bring
into prominence the system Of projections"
or the protege system, which has grown up
in Morocco as result of the corruption ahd
inefficiency of the native government. In a
country where nearly every official is either
an arbitrary oppressor because he has the
power to be or a seryile friend because he
has been bribed to be so, it is plain that the
troubles Of the foreigner will be costly to
himself and vexatious to the government
which attempts to protect him. In Morocco
the government officials are so unusually cor
rupt and extortionats that the Sultan has
been glad to keep the peace with the govern
ments of christendom by allowing to their
diplomatic representatives in his country an
extraordinary privilege The foreign consul
or foreign minister has right to issue what
is called a protection" which makes the
bearer a protege Of the government repre-
scented by the consul or minister and gives
to him most extraordinary privileges.
Tie protege is free from taxation. he is
net answerablc to Moorish laws, is shielded
from the harassments inflicted by petty
Moorish authorities, governors Of provinces,
etc., he even has certain summary powers
over the property and freedom of Moorish
natives who may harm him in person or
pocket. 1t is plain, therefore, that the posi-
tion of the protege is very enyiablc one,
and that the privilege of issuing the ''protec-
tions" Is very liable to abuse. 1t has, in
times past, been very fagrsnily abused in
Morocco. The consuls exceeded the NUMBER
OF projections which they might issue. Ma
tive Moors and Jews, under pretence OF act
ing az agents of foreign firms and by the use
of heavy brides, became the proteges OF for.
eign governments, and under cover Of their
projections" went abroad in the country
escaping from oppression themselves, but
depressing helpless natives, even to the ex-
tent Of selling them,and throwing them into
foul prisons. So long as the consul Of one
nation abused his privileges of issuing PRO
tections," the representatives of other nations
claimed the same right under the most fav-
ored nation" clause of the treaties. So it
became well nigh impossible for the Sultan
to reform the evil. The American consul,
however, voluntarily undertook to begin the
reforms, and his course was approved, and
to some extent followed by the representa-
tiyes of other nations. But 1t appears now
that the Sultan is not satisfied that the Amer
lean consul has limited voluntarily the num-
Der of his proteges, but insists on exercising
an approving power himself in their selec-
tion

GOOD WORDS FOR MR.. CLEAvEs.
IBiddeford Journall

Complaint has been made, and not without
reason, that Maine has been somewhat slow
to recognize the just deserts OF the boys In
blue who, in the sixties, stood like wall OF
her own solid grsnite in defence of the I'm
ion, under the flag which symbolizes it. His
soldier record Is one he may justly be proud
Of. He enlisted as private in the ranks,
re-eRlisted after his first term, for three years
mora, serving until the close OF the war
when he came home lieutenant, and re-
turned to the arts of peace, in the practice of
which he hasachieved an enviable record as
advocate and legislator. To use hackneyed
phrase In its best sense, Mr.. Cleaves is a
sclf-nade man; beginning at the bottom he
carved out an honorable name and COM
handing position OF usefulness and intu-
ence. As citizen, he bears an untarnished
reputation; as Republican, he Is fixed and
grounded in the bedrock principles Of the
party principles which stand, as they have
ever stood, for all that go to make a nation
strong and great, Clean-handed, clear-head-
ed. In the yigor Of manhood, with an enthusi-
astic devotion to the highest interests of his
native state, Mr.. Cleaves would bring to the
gorernorship of Maine a degree of ability
and strength rarely equalled. His nomina-
ton would insure an enthusiastic and lively
campaign, and a victory In September that
would be forerunner OF the grand result In

IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
Hartford Courant,l


Intelligent business men made the just
criticism on dictatorial trade unions that
their effect is to level down instead Of up
ward, that they make the poorest workman
the standard of excellence instead of the
best When the critics have demonstrated
this they take the position that no further
proof Is needed OF the unsoundness, the fall
lacy and the injury of the union when it I'M
dertakes to regulate prices. But turn about
Is fair play. Look at the attitude OF D., the e
attacked. You find in them its defenders,
and yet the principle is the same. Take the
new, worldwide, gigantic copper trust. The
great foreign copper mine owners were be-
Ing crushed out Of existence by the cheap
ness Of American copper. We can produce
1t for about cents and the Spanish costs
about u cents. To save themselves the for
eigners decided to buy all the,copper in the
world, and then peddle it out at prices that
pay a profit even on what they produce.
What IN the world is that but leyeling down
to the line of the poorer mine, and making
the world accept 1t as the Standard? Ii It Is
defensiblc in the copper market, 1t must be
defensible In the labor market" also. Time
will see III such schemes fail

mr.. cIeaves and the Prohibitory

Mr.. cIeaves and the Prohibitory
Law.
A letter has recently appeared in the
Pennington Chronicle, without the authors
name attached, which by insinuation and in
nuendoes, but without any direct charge, at
tempts to convey the impression that Henry
b. Cleaves, who now has the lead in the
gubernatorial race. is not favorable to. the
enforcement of our prohibitorv laws. This
method of Misrepresentation Gy insinuation
and indirectian, must seem si'nnge and IN
usual to an old soldier Of the war. who has
stood with his musket in the front line OF
battle, and has always been IN The habit OF
giving aud receiving blows in the open lieId
and within sight of the attacking party, and
who has never sought to attain success by
attacking the good name and reputation Of
others. The insinuation contained in the
article that Mr.. Cleaves would not enforce
the prohibitory laws of the State as effective
ly and vigorously as Mr.. Burleigh, is incor-
rect. without the slightest foundation, un-
lust. and the correspondent who uses such
methods In attempting to advance, the in
terests of his favorite candidate, will be con-
demned by honorable and fair-minded

We regret to see that some of the New
York Republican Senators failed TO support
the Crosby high license bill at the recent
caucus, and that therefore the measure is not
certain of obtaining majority when put to
vote in the Senate. The detection is unex-
pected. The principal objection urged to
the measure is that the beer license is too
high. If the measure fails by reason of this
detection not only will the New York Re-
puhlicans be disappointed, but Republicans

The rumor is current that certain gentle
men either have sent, or are preparing to
send, to small holders of gas stock circular
asking the price at which they will dispose
of their holdings and seeking to pledge them
to sell If they can get what they ask. There
is Of course nothing improper in this. We
mention the fact simply because it tends to
show that gas stock is in demand and that
the fear that the progress of electric lighting
may diminish the value Of this security is
not generally shared in. The object OF these
gentlemen, whether they are seeking the
stock purely as an investment or whether
they are looking beyond this to the securing
Of the control Of the companies that are now
lighting the city, we do not undertake to in
terpret. The demand for the stock certainly
signifies that it is considered Of great value
and very desirable stock to possess, and
would naturally suggest to the present hold
ers, the city among them, that property that
so many people are anxious to buy may be
good property to hold on to. Certainly 1t
should suggest that the stock ought not to be
parted with until after careful deliberation
and with full knowledge of its value only
to be obtained by thorough examination Of
the Gas Company's books.

occupied largo part of its time in sneering
at civil service reform and which demanded
in language that was but little disguised
that the cold toed boys be taken in and their

the State ticket by the convention, not for the
reason that he had any peculiar qualifications
for the Office of Governor, but simply because
the FRIENDS of civil service reform disliked
him. His nomination was a protest against
the attempts of Collector Saltonstall and
Postmaster Corse to manage their Offices on
civil service reform principles, and was in
tended to coerce the President into com

has apparently been brought about. The
President has humbly bowed in submission.
and signalized his surrender by appointing
the very man selected by this convention as
the best embodiment of its hatred for civil

ton for civil service reform has grown alto
