Congressman McKenney of New Hamp-
shire took great pains to impress upon the
country when he began his tariff speech in
the House Thursday that he was not an adyo-
cate of free trade Mr.. Mckinney repre-
sents a district where manufactures are
abundant, and evidently is not going to
jeopardize his chances of reelection by ally
ing himself openly with free trade. But Mr..
Mckinney. no matter how shrewd he may
be, will find it impossible to serve two mas.
tiers. Support of the Mills bill will settle
him with the Protectionists and opposition
to it will settle him with the Freetraders.
The country has made the congressman's
attitude toward this bill the test of his senti-
ment toward two rival economic theories
and no amount of declaring on his part that
he does not SO regard it will make any differ

Mr.. Powderly has issued another letter of
advice to the knights of Labor. This time
it has to do with politics He counsels the
Knights not to identify themselves with any
party, and declares that he himself does not
intend to NEEDLE with partisan politics. His
advice is good, but it by no means follows
that the Knights will take it. The consider
alton that his manifestoes set depends very
largely on whether they coincide with the
preconceived views of the men to whom they
are addressed

1.-THE general rule in Maine cities is to elect
delegates to conventions by wards. Down
in Augusta, however, one general caucus is
held. OF course this arrangement makes it
much easier to capture" the delegates, and
promotes harmony as far as outward appear
ance is concerned by securing the election of
''solid' delegation. Whether it conduces
TO real harmony is very questionable. Judg-
ing from the remarks of some of the
gentlemen who participated in the Augusta
caucus, which elected solid" Burleigh
delegation, we should say that it did not.

The Anti-Saloon Republican Convention
was composed of representative men OF the
Republican party, and its resolutions un-
doubtedly fairly voice the sentiment OF the
great mass of the voters Of that party. The
attitude of the convention to the saloon was
one of uncompromising hostility, and its
conviction in regard to the selection of agen-
cies for its suppression was that such should
be employed as gave the greatest promise of
success. In determining this, the conven-
ton recognized that the sentiments of differ
ent localities must be taken into account.
Prohibition would be the agency selected in
Maine, for here public sentiment is up to it !;
but, in Ohio, prohibition would form a much
less effective weapon,-if it were possible to
use it at all, which is doubtful, than some
other. We believe that the attitude of the
convention is the correct one. Repression
where suppression is impossible because of
the lack of a sustaining public sentiment, is
preferable to freedom to the saloon to in
crease and multiply until every street
corner is occupied by a rum shop.
Repression will not postpone suppression
On the contrary it will hasten it. The bene-
fits that will flow from the former will in
evitable suggests that with more repression
will come more benefits; and gradually
public sentiment will strengthen until it de-
mands entire suppression. In some quarters
it has been limited that the purpose of this
convention was chiefly to hoodwink the
Prohibitionists. But the character of the
delegates preclude any such idea as that
For instance Maine was represented among
others by ex-Goy. Sidney Perham, an uncom-
promising enemy of the saloon, whose sim
cerity is above suspicion, and the other
States were represented by equally devoted
friends of temperance. The objects of the
convention was just what it purported to
be, to place the Republican party in an atti-
tude of uncompromising hostility to the

A rowing, and apparently irresponsible,
correspondent of the New York World went
through Maine some time ago and wrote up
what purported to be truthful account of
wholesale evasions of the Maic liquor law.
His report has been widely copied through
out the country, much to the damage of the
reputation Of the State. How far from the
truth was his report lis well illustrated by
the statement which he made about Bruins
wick, where he represented large and
flonrishing liquor trade, made so largely by
the college students and mill hands. Editor
Tenney, of the Brunswick Telegraph, does
not believe in 1.-THE prohibitory law and is
never backward about expressing his opin-
ion in print, but he never lies about the law
simply because he does not believe in it, OF
the Worlds statement he says: IF the cor
respondent hopes to be believed when he
predicts that the Maine Prohibitory Law
will be repealed within three years he must
not present statements so untruthful as
those relating to the state of affairs which
exists in Brunswick. We well know that
the law is violated in very many of the
towns in the State, but the statement as to
Brunswick is the widest romance"

The defeat of the Concord railroad wing
of the Democratic party of New Hampshire,
in the recent convention to select delegates
to st. Louis, seems to have been rout
The Manchester Mirror says that the fight
between them and the Jones and Sulloway
faction was carried into nearly every town
in the state Ii ragged furIousy a; Concord
for weeks, and ii resulted IN the election Of
tve-sixths of the convention in the interest
of Jones and Sulloway. Having got the
power Jones and his friends seem to have
used it with ruthless severity. "The NAL
contents" says the Mirror, 'were not only
beaten, but they were Inundated, insulted
and disgraced. At the last moment the only
representative which it had been deemed
wise to allow them upon the ticket before
the result of the caucusej was known was
kicked aside and his place filed by a sturdy
henchman of the triumphant pair" In the
convention, on the choice of delegates to st.
Louis, Jones and Sulloway got all but three
votes out of total of 59S. The spirit of the
Concord faction of the party was completely
broken, and the two leaders of the yictors
will represent the Democratic party of New
Hampshire in the fourth national conyen-
ton.
