Gov. Hill seems to be having. all that he
can do answering charges affecting his per-
sonal honesty The latest one is that he
accepted large sums of money to assist in his
election from men who afterwards got some
very desirable contracts from the State.
Hill admits receiving the money, but denies
that there was any connection between the
money and the contracts. All these things
OF course are having very unfayorable
effect on his Presidential boom which was

OVER THE USE OF YEAST.

Yeast raises the -four by fermentation whereby
the nutritious elements of the -four are in part,
wholly lost and the product is fruitful source of
dyspepsia, especially if eaten while fresh.
Among the advantages resulting from the use OF
Horsfords Bread Preparation are the following:
The saving Of the nutritious constituents of the
-four.
The restoration of the phosphates removed by
bolting.
The saving Of time; the phosphate bread being
prepared in few minutes, while ordinary fermented
bread involves preparation over night
The bread retains it's moisture much longer than
fermented bread.
The bread, biscuit, gems, etc., made from it may
be eaten warm with impunity
It requires little or no shortening
The results are uniformly excellent

AN OPEN RECORD.
rBiddeford Journal

Until now the rivalry between the aspi-
rants for the gubernatorial nomination,
though earnest has been honest and manly.
1t has been left for the adherents of Mr..
Burleigh to break the record. = For
tunately, Mr.. Cleaves has a record-not
alone as gallant soldier and honorable
citizen. but at the very point where this am
bushed foe assails him. AS Attorney GEN
eral for the State for series of years be
faced the question in the courts, of enforcing
the Maine liquor laws without compromise
or retreat; and While he will not stoop to
belittle the prohibition record of Mr. Bur
leigh or any other man, he can justly claim
to have identified himself closely with the
probibitory movement, not only by declaring
himself in favor of the enforcement of pro-
hibitory laws. but enforcing them as well.
Unless we mistake the temper Of the people,
and of York county Republicans especially,
who have come to know and honor Mr..
Cleaves for his sterling character as a public
man, as well as for his noble qualities of
head and heart, this despicable attack will
result In the confusion of his opponents.
Our people admire a manly man. Open war
fare with honest weapons they respect, but
they will be very apt to oppose an unbr0ken
front to any man or any cause that resorts
to unfair or reprehensible methods to achieve

A VENERABLE CHAMPION.
rRoaf0n journal I

Vermont's veteran Senator, only a few
months the junior of Gladstone, brings to the
consideration of public questions vigor of
mind which is equaled by few men In the
very prime Of life on either side of the At
lantic. His speech of Wednesday on the in
consistent aud unpatri0tic free trade mes
sage of the President exhibited the fruits of
long familiarity with national affairs, and
was admirable for its force and clearness of
expression Mr.. Morrill, has been identified
with the whole history Of protection in this
country since the Republican party entered
into power at the opening Of the war. He
has good right TO be regarded as one Of the
foremost champions of the American sys-
tenn, and his vindication OF that system and
his exhibition of the prosperity which has
resulted from it, in hls great speech of
Wednesday, were the utterances of a man
who had borne leading part in securing for
his country the marvellous development
which be des ,ribed. After this dignitied
earnest defence of American industry by
Vermont's venerable Senator, t. g petty vote
catching scheme of the President and his
free trade fellow conspirators appears still
more clear in its true light as a discreditable
plot against the genuine American policy of
protection which has served the country well
FOR more than a quarter Of a century.

Fashionable Profanity.

In the way of shocking things, fashion
able profanity among wealthy and refined
girls may be mentioned. While it has
not gone to the extent Of the worst oaths
from feminine lips in good society, the
milder expletives have come into piquant
use. The evil began last autumn with q
vogue for quaint EXPLANATIONS. These
were at first merely original and curious,
and the girl who could make unique ejac-
ulations was thereby distinguished in her
circle. Gradually the demand for stronger,
risker language arose, and the license OF
fashion extended to almost but not quite
outright oaths. Now the genuine damn
is not unheard in the boudoir and parlOr
of the belle, and she exclaims, ''My God!'
on the slightest occasion. The latter of
tense is excused by some in consequence
of French precedent. Partisan ladies of
the aristocracy say ''Mon Dieu' COM
monty But the habit has reached its
limit here, revIllsion has come and pro-
family from sweet mouths may be ex-
pected TO cease this spring.-New York

A Country of Small Things.

Japan is country of the little. The men here are from five feet to five feet five inches high, and the women are smaller. Notwith- standing the fact that they raise themselves three inches off the ground on their wooden sandals am continually looking down at them, and fair sized American girl towers above them like an Amazon. Japanese trees are dwarfed, and in fact all nature seems to be made on the six by nine plan. The chickens are nearly all bantams, and the cats, with their bobtails, look like kittens com pared with our American tommys, and the horses are ponies. The houses of the common people are but one story and the rooms look like childfen's play houses. The country, though as big as several states, is full of pie turesque scenery, but it is the pretty rather than the grand, and you have beautiful bits rather than sublime landscapes It is the same with everything. If l ask for a cup of tea al little wayside teahouse it is handed to me in a little piece of shell like china no bigge, than an egg cup, and the little Japanese beauty goes down on her knees when sht brings it to you.-FFank G.

A Scheme for Harbor Defense.

According to a report in some of the Phila- delphia newspapers, a large company, backed by millions of dollars, has proposed to the secretary of the navy striking and possibly effective scheme for the defense of that har- bor and the harbors of other cities from the attacks of an enemys fleet by shooting ignited petroleum at the unfriend1y ships from the bottom of the river and burning them up. The rear admiral has been directed to study closely the harbor of Philadelphia and its approaches. The petroleum defense scheme, the originators of which have in- duced the government to make this prelimin- ary examination of the Philadelphia harbor, is brilliant one in more respects than one. A company has been organized at Washing ton to develop the plan and to show its prac- ticability.
 It is proposed to sink perforated iron pipes in the river bed and the approaches to the harbor, through which petroleum can be forced to the surface of the river by machin- cry and at high pressure. In this way a fierce stream of blazing oil can be sent down on the enemy's fleet to destroy it or drive it away. It is claimed by the projectors that a flame can be produced ill this way as high as a ships mast, and sent with terrific force on the attacking vessels many miles from the point where the oil is supplied to the system of submerged pipes. Iron vessels could not pass through this lake of fire, because it could be made to extend many miles along the river-Scentifc American.

THE BEST ADVERTISING.

Under the heading ''A Holiday Nuis- ance" the Boston Herald gives a few timely hints to merchants and others who seek methods of advertising their wares during the holiday season. The Herald says:
 The advertising nuisance which filters dooryards and crowds postoffice boxes with paper rubbish is in full force in this holiday season. The amount of money wasted in this way is enormous. Those who pay it out load down the mails often only to create prejudice against themselves. If the paper sent out is obviously an advertisement, it is generally thrown aside unopened; if it is disguised, the recipient is disgusted tC feel that he has been humbugged into giving attention to it. In either case there is so much waste paper in the way In the suburbs or the outlying wards ot the city, the matter is put into the hands of boys to be circulated. It is ofter thrown in Jumps of a half-dozen or more in a single place, for the chief end is tC get rid of it as soon as possible. Ther the wind blows it about till it makes everything untidy in the neighborhoo6 where it is left. There should be a law to protect houses and streets against such lnVaSlOnS. How people can suppose that this most offensive method of ad vertising is an aid to their business is z mystery.
 This kind of advertising is, in truth, a nuisance, and rather detriment than {; help to those who employ it. The only kind of advertising that pays is news paper advertising, and the most success full and enterprising business men employ it almost exclusively. There is no other form of advertising that is at once so compact, certain, economical and effec tive, and none that is so positive to bring back returns for the outlay made. Th' American people are, more than an. other people on the face of the globe readers of the newspapers, and they arr accustomed to look there for all legiti mate advertising. This spurious rubbisl that is thrown around the streets unproftable and ineffective, and has beel generally discarded by those who are mos successful in the art of advertising. | The newspaper is the best medium fo advertisers at the holiday season as we] as all the year around.

A Word fin Favor of the Glove.

Shall men go out between the acts? This is the question which theatre goers in New York are discussing through the columns of The Sun. The ladies object strenuously to the practice and pitiful stories are told of the wreck of bonnets and wraps, for which un- feeling persons who do not occupy end seats are responsible. Yet thereis something to be said for the custom, provided it be not abused by too frequent visits to convenient bars. It is pleasant to meet acquaintances in the Hobbies and chat 6 moment about the play, and if our theatres generally were better adapted to this purpose, with comfortable means of exit from every part of the audi. torium. going out between the acts might come into favor rather than fall into disre. pute. As for the injured bonnets-well, they ought not to be worn at all to the theatre Boston Post
