innate of the character Of that gentleman
are not germane to the issue. Gen. Grant
was not a good judge Of character. While
President he frequently gave his confidence
to men utterly unworthy of it, and in bust
ness life all the world knows how he was
duped by the plausible but knavish Ward.
His trust in Badeau appears to have been
another example OF his proneness to misplace
his confidence. Badeau in his letter to the
American people pretends that he Is ex-
ceedingly reluctant to disclose to the
public the part he took in the prepare
ton of the Memoirs. but the careful reader
OF his letter will not fail to notice that long
agolhe and his lawyers prepared letter set
ting forth what his services were, or what
he claimed they were, which was to be
shown to the Grants, in order. apparently,
to convince them that the exposure would
be very disaereeable one, and one which 1t
would be well to avert by prompt settle
ment Of his claim. This is not the method
gentleman so devoted to Gen. Grants mem
DRY as Gen. Badean Processes to be would
have been likely to adopt Indeed the whole
relationship between Grant and Badeau IN
the light of recent disclosures appears to
have been the relationship between man
easily imposed upon and man perfectly
willing to impose upon him.

The Belfast Age and the Kennebec Demo-
crat are still keeping up great hue and cry
because the jury did not convict Constable
stevenson Of murder. The Democrat wants
to know what the PRESS has to say about
this case The PRESS has to say simply
that twelve honest and honorable men after
hearing all the testimony failed to agree as
to the facts of the case. Some of them
thought Mr.. Stevenson was guilty and some
thought otherwise. We have further to say
that IL Mr.. Stevenson had not been liquor
constable neither the Belfast Age nor the
Democrat would never have questioned the
honesty of the jury. They are prejudiced
against the him because he has done some
thing to suppress the liquor traffic, aud their
real complaint against the Bangor jury men
is that they were not prejudiced against him
for the same reason.

1t is thought worth while to record In
connection with the life of Emperor William
that one of the events OF his eyentful life,
and not the least memorable event either,
was the sitting at table near Warren Hast
ings at the great Guildhall banquet in Lon
don in 1914, which Lord Macaulay has made
famous In the last pages Of his great essay
on Warren Hastings. Hastings was then In
the last year of his life, with more than
quarter of century OF life added since he
faced his accusers In the Hall Of William
Rufus; while his great deeds in India had
been done half century before. Yet he
was none the less an object of interest and
generation, as Macaulay's description of the
event shows: when the Emperor of Rus
STA and the King of Prussia visited England,
Hastings appeared in their train both at
Oxford and In the Guildhall of London, and,
though surrounded by crowd of princes
and great warriors, was everywhere re-
-esfved with marks of respect and admira-
tion. He was presented by the prince re-
gent both to Alexander and to Frederick
William; and his royal highness went so
far as TO declare in public that far higher
honors than seat In the privy council
were due and should be paid to the man who
had saved the British dominions in Asia"
What impressions if any, these two remark
able men produced on each other at this
meeting we are not told. Hastings was
long way ON the evening side from the
zenith Of his wonderful career; Emperor
William was as far on the morning side.
The elder man may have noticed the
younger as royal parsonage merely; but it
seems impossible that even youth so used
to meeting great men, and so imaginative
and practical turn as Frederick William
afterwards displayed, could have met the
great proconsul and statesman without re-
ceiying impressions lasting enough to re-
main even until the days of Sedan.

Sioux Falls, Dakota, is long distance from
Portland. but we find in the Daily Argus
Leader Of that city an article on our municipal
election written by somebody who evidently
knew the fact. "The attempt says the
writer" "of Neal Dow to divide the Republi-
can party in Maine on the eve of presiden-
tial election, has proved an utter failure.
The great body Of that party take no stock
Ia separate prohibition party, believing
that the cause can best be promoted within
present party lines. On the other hand the
result Of abandoning party nominations Of
their own, and endorsing that Of Neal Dow
and as consequence endorsing the ex-
tremest prohibitory asures-surrendering
everything and gaining nothing-is one at
which the Eastern Argus may we'll howl"

Iowa has started robust boom for Sena-
tor Allison. The State convention presents
him not only as the fayorite son of Iowa,
but as the best and most available Republic
can candidate the country affords. There is
a good deal to be said in Senator Allison's
favor He has always been consistent
as with the rank and file. While less snowy
that some other statesmen, he is, what is
better, a man Of solid and substantial parts
to whose hands the interests Of the country
could be committed in full confidence that
they would be well taken care Of. Heis a
man whose nomination for the Presidency
the Republicans can contemplate with very
few misgivings.
