~ nights, followed by weak, tired and exhaust

forerunners of physical prostration and complete
nervous exhaustion, ending in insanity. Thou

verge of insanitywithout knowing that the feel

collapse and absolute prostration of nerve power

The Bridgton News points out that If the
Republicans are to nominate candidate for
governor on the locality claim, Gov. Marble
should be the man. because to Lincoln coun-
ty has never been accorded the honor of fur

the Republicans are not going to nominate
anybody on such an absurd claim.

The foreign contract labor law, which has
lately been invoked to prohibit the employ
ment of Nova Scotians or American fishing
vessels makes exceptions only of "profes-
sional artists, actors, lecturers and singers"
When there was talk of bringing over an
English divine to fill Mr.. Beecher's old
pulpit, an action under the law was sug-
gested, but not undertaken as the clergyman
did not come. But trial is now in progress
in Newly ork in which action is brought by
the government, through the district attor-
ney, against the directors of an Episcopal
church TO prevent them from hiring foreign
rector. OF course the law was never intend

ceedings Its object was to protect Amer
lean laborers from the pauper labor of
Europe. American clergymen need no such
protection, for the harvest is plenteous and
the labOrers few.

The Illinois labor party has laid over a
programme that will keep it out of idleness
for some years to come. 1t purposes first, to
change the constitution so that United
States Senators shall be elected by the peo-
pie; then to place all the railroads in posses
sion of the government; after that to devise
a national monetary system in the interest
of the producer. The first two of these
things are not desirable, and the last is
meaningless. More praisworthy as well as
more feasible purposes are con tanned in the
declarations in favor Of Substituting arbitra-
ton for strikes; abolishing the liquor traffic !;
and paying women the same as men for the
same work. These reforms are desirable
and practicable, and the labor party will do
well to eliminate the first three planks from
its platform and confne itself to the last

CURRENT COMMENT.
GEORGIA AND THE sHERMANs.

[Pittsburg Chronicle.l
Georgia has declared for Sherman. Gen.
Sherman captured the State years ago, and it
seems to be still in the family.
THE SAGE" ARGUMENT.
[Bridgton News.]
The Portland Press very nearly floors the
Bangor Wing as to its argument that Gov.
Marble is too old" to be nominated for Gov
ernor, when it calls attention to the fact that
our present Governor is but year older than
was the lamented Bodwell; that in 1873 the
Kent, then sprightly lad of 70; and that
the then as now frisky Hannibal Hamlin,
always an idol at the Wing Office, was "
when he retired from the United States Sen
ate. The Wings ''age" argument against
Marble like its locality argument in favor
of Burleigh are recent discoveries, evidently
advanced just now for a specific purpose. AS
the boys say, it's too thin"

Apropos of the great raid that is now go
ing on against the rumsellers Of Manchester,
N. H.. the Mirror of that city has made a
computation Of the amount spent each year
in that city for rum. Manchester has 10000
inhabitants, and the drink bill is estimated
to amount to $1,274,oo0. This estimate is
made from inquiry among the saloon keep
ers. The money would more than run the
entire city government for year, and if ap-
piled to schools, public library, the city
debt, or any other good purpose, would make
Manchester shining exampe among mu-
inequalities. But the problem is to get the
money turned that way. The temperance
people are making a beginning.

The Indiana Democrats declare in favor OF
a civil service (which gives preference to
those who harmonic in principle and policy
with the party in power" This is the most
open declaration In favor of revival of the
spoils system yet made bv any Democratic
convention. Usually these bodies have dis
sembled to some extent, when they came to
putting their ideas into platform. The ia
vorite phrase has been an ''honest civil SER
vice REFORM" which means the same thing
as the Indiana declaration probably, but
sounds a little better. However the Hoo
siers are entitled to the credit of saying what
they mean in such plain terms that nobody
can misunderstood them.

The Bangor Commercial brings us the in-
formation that the TWO hundred thousand
dollars needed to establish pulp mill on the
Penobscot River near Piscataquis Falls
having been secured, the work Of building a
mill will begin at once, and adds this very
sensible comment: This is another new en-
terprise on the Penobscot, which will give
employment to the young men of Maine and
add to the increasing wealth of the State.
The big wooden mill at 0ldtown will be in
full operation in year or so, and other en-
terprises are spring ing up in every direc-
ton. The ball is to be kept rolling, and
there will be no occasion for four people to
emigrate in order to secure profitable en-
ployment, or to find good opportunities for
engaging in profitable business" Yet the
Commercial very strongly approves the
MillsIbill, which if it passes will be trig of
the biggest sort in the way of the business
men who are keeping the ball rolling with
such good effect in Maine.
