have more than held their own. They
have increased their total vote OF four
years ago by more than 3 per cent.
while the Republicans have increased
theirs less than per cent. Whatever
this may be evidence OF, it is not
sign that the Democratic party is
weaker than it was before the tariff
reform issue was raised.
The significance of this result is
very great when We consider the pc
culiar advantages which Maine pre-
sented as field for Republican gains
this year. On the fishery issue and
the question of free lumber alone. there
was reason for thinking that inroads
might be made upon the Democratic
strength. Mr.. Blaine evidently thought
so, for he made those questions very
prominent in his speeches, all of which
were confined almost entirely to them
and to the dangers of free trade. The
Republicans had the advantage of his
personal efforts in their campaign. he

Of his first appearance after a Eu-
ropean tour, where he had observed
personally the baleful effects of free
trade abroad.
Furthermore, the election was held
before the National campaign had fair
" begun, and before there had been
any thing which could be called an
adequate presentation of the Demo-
cratic side Of the tariff question. The
National Democratic Committee sent no
speakers into Maine to answer Mr..
Blaine's arguments. Almost the only
outside Democratic orator who went
there was Colonel Fellows, and we
have never heard him spoken Of as a
persuasive orator upon economic ques-
tons. In addition to Mr.. Blaine
personal leadership, the Republicans
had the aid of one of the most thor.
oughly organized political machines in
the country, and the skill in the work.

JAMES WHITLEY, ESQ: Dear Sir-Your
letter Of the Sth instant has just been presented
to my attention. and II affords the first intima-
ton have had that in an article published In

the declaration that +. believe in free trade as
believe in the Protestant religion" In
answer to your inquiry as to the truth OF this
allegation, have TO say that never made use
OF that expression, or one any thing like IL.
The statement you quote is a pure unadulter-
ated fabrication. While It would be In vain to
attempt to crush or refute every false state
ment coined or forged to serve the purpose OF
Misrepresentation in the heat OF o political
canvass, the friendly spirit OF your inquiry has
led mo to make this emphatic denial.
Yours very truly.

GETTING EVEN.

A good story is told by the albany
FORMAL OF an actor who recently paid
a visit to Cohoes. He had but three
dollars to reach home, and the thought
struck him that if he could get some
to bet with him he might attain the
desired amount. He entered saloon
kept by an Irlshman, told him his
plight, saying he wanted to make bet.
"All right" said the bartender, who
had just purchased ham. "I'll bet
you dollar and a-half that you can't
carry this ham across the street and
back without laying it down." The bet
was promptly accepted, and the actor
seized the ham by the string, walked
across the street and back, and laid the
ham on the floor. "You've lost" said
the Irishnan "you laid 1t down but
here comes friend of mine, and you
can get even." The friend readily bit
at the bait. He seized the ham, walked
across the street and back, and hung
the ham on hook, thus winning the
stakes. 1t is not known whether the
actor has reached his destination yet.

THE LIFE OF AN ENGINEER.

"It is eighteen years since 1 ran a
locomotive" SAID an old engineer, to
Kansas City Times reporter, "yet I
never see one without longing to get on
board and grasp the throttle. In 1870
l was in a wreck on the Illinois Central,
and came out, or rather was dragged
out, with both legs and one arm broken.
That accident brought me in ten thous-
and dollars in cash, and life position
on the road that is to say, the Illinois
Central is bound to give me position

wages instead. Some time ago / was
in the shops where handsome loco
motive was receiving her finishing
touches. 'She's beauty said 1 sand
I'd like to run her. you can take if

OF my life : but | conquered it. I've

years, and can make more money than
engineering would bring; still l can

mothers having said that. and me
being nigh killed the very day I'd
settled to 60"
A miraculous escape was told me
by one of the managers of pit:
81 was down making a survey,
with man and a young assistant.
We sat down to rest side by side,
our backs against the wall of coal.
The man was sitting on my right
hand, the assistant on my left. After
we had sat few seconds, the assist
ant, with no apparent reason, got up
and went and sat at the other end of
the row, next to the man. He had
no sooner sat down, than, without
any warning, huge mass of stone
crashed down from the roof on to
the very spot where the assistant had
been sitting! Part of it grazed my
arm, but did no injury. "A near
shave for you, we both said to the
assistant. 1t was near shave he
replied, somewhat nervously- We
went on with our work. Perhaps we
spoke lightly; but l believe not one
of us could have said all he thought"
Can we call these brave men heart
less or unfeeling because they speak
of such things as trihes, or indeed
rarely speak of them at all7 No;
their lives make them familiar with
danger, but none the less is their
silence that of noble courage.

 The newspaper is in a very imPor- tant sense. public institution. do- ing great deal for each individual and for the community as whole. that receives neither reward. thanks. nor acknowledgement. In view ot this ii is certainly as little aS any man can do to give his patronage to the local publisher. who is at the same time nearly always a job printer Yet it seems to be growing custom for business men to send their work abroad There is probably largely owing to the principle in human na- ture which ever gives entertainment to distance. and makes the prophet not without honor except in hlS own country. The men who condemn their fellow titizens and neighhorS for going abroad to buy their dry goods and groceries because they like foreign article or think they can get it a little cheaper. seem entirely obll- vious to the fact that they are com hitting the very same offenSe when ordering their commercial printing from some distant city. When the printing is ordered from distance q wears supply is ordered at one time to save expense. but when the work is given to home printer it is m very small lots of 2jO or 800 i'll q package. and he is required to com pete in prices with those on a lot of several thousand. This. to say the least. is unfair. The home printer has less expense in the way of rents. wages. etc. and of course can do work as cheap aS any foreign house in bills of equal size.
