Our City Election.

The citizens of Augusta who wish to see
her splendid water-powcr brought into
use to its utmost capacity, next Monday
will have an opportunity to speak by their
votes. For more than sixty years the
Kennebec journal has been advocating the
policy which tends to increase American
manufactures. In season and out Of
season, in storms and in sunshine, it has
Hamilton, Clay and Lincoln for the pro-
lection of American labor against foreign
competition. Under this broad shield of
common sense and practical patriotism
Maine can become great manufacturing
State, and Augusta city as populous and
wealthy a. Lowell. Having made large
sacrifices of time and money to make her
water-poMcr available, her citizens would
be untrue to themselves not to stand by
the government policy on which her
future prosperity depends. President
Clevcland's Free Trade programme and
the Democratic Mills tariff bill are chal-

Maine and especially to the citizens
OF Augusta and the kennebec Valley.

LITERARY NOTICES.
New Books

Battles and Leaders of the Civil War"
Under the above title the Century company
are issuing in book form the famous war
articles which have been published in the
Century magazine, ard which have been read
by more people than any history of the late
war which has ever been written. The book
will be in thirtytwo parts, and when com
pleted will be cyclopedia of all the events
of the late rebellion, written by a number of
the most famous soldiers-from both sides
who participated in it. The whole of this
great work will bear the stamp of authentici-
ty Subscriptions will be received only for
the whole work which will be sold only
as an entiety, to be paid for at the rate of
fifty cents a part when each Partis delivered
Each of these parts will contain upwards of
a hundred pages, printed in good-sized, clear
type, and superbly illustrated. We think that
no book published since Mr.. Blaine's
Twenty Years in Congress, is destined to
meet with such wide sale as this truly great
work. Mr.. B. W. Gowell Of Gardiner, Me,
is the State manager for this valuable work
and will push it as rapidly as possible. This
work may also be obtained elegantly bound
in four volumes for those who wish it in the
latter form. This great history should be the
property of all who would like complete and
impartial story of the late war.

Tia Same Old Lie.

The only Confederate flags that have heen
returned since they we're captured were re-
turned by the order of Mr. Stanton Boston
Herald.
The fact that the Administration organs
continue to reiterate this UNANIMOUSLY false
insinuation shows how hard pushed they are
in their defence of the President. The
Herald knows its statement is calculated to
give the impression that Secretary Stanton
returned captured flags to the South and
it also knows that there is not particle OF
foundation for such an assertion. To admit
the truth, however, would be fatal to the
Administration, hence the determination or
the part of the Cleveland organs to lie it out
if it takes all sumner Bangor Bhig.

West Virginia has answered the Mills
bill. Here is dispatch from Wheeling ::
AT a meeting of the stockholders of the
Labelle Pottery Company last night, it
was decided to withhold contracts for the
erection of the new building until it is seen
what is to be the fate Of the Mills bill. and
whether Congress will make the attack on
the pottery industry contemplated by that
bill. Manager G. NJ. Pearson of the
Wheeling Pottery, who is also the direct
ing head Of this new concern, says it is
useless to build with tariff bill staring
them in the face that means no profit to
the manufacturer and 81 per cent reduction

The New York Times, the organ of the
British importing interests, finds fault
with the New York Chamber of Commerce
because that large and influential body
opposes the ratifying of the fishery treaty,
and accuses it of taking a shallow view
of the subject. Has 1t not yet struck the
Times that about the only people in this
country who look with favor On the treaty
are the thick-and-thin supporters of the
Presidents? The only friends the treaty
has are Democrats and Mugwumps of the
bitter partisan type.

four declared for Blaine, twenty-one for

were all sent in after Mr.. Blaine's letter

had been published, it looks as though
Connecticut had made up her mind that
the people should make the nomination,
and not the aspirant-that the Office should
select the man and that the people must
be obeyed. Evidently the Republican
masses know what they want and how to
win victory.
