THE REVOLUTION IN MANI

The complete returns from the Maine state election do, indeed, show political revolution, but it is quite different re- duction from that which Premier Blaine claimed on the morning after. The early figures, doctored probably for the purpose, seemed to indicate a republican gain, whereupon the organs of the party set up a united howl over their great victory.
 The official returns are now at hand and from them the Boston Herald elieits that the republicans have boiled a distinctive smaller proportion of the total vote than they obtained four years ago at the last state election in presidential year Then they recieved 55,38 per cent of the total vote now they show only 54.60 per cent. And further black eye for the republicans is that this years proportion is the lowest ever recorded for them in any state contest with the democrats in a presidential year.
 In 1880 the republican proportion fell to 49. 76 per cent of the total vote, but in that year the democrats and greenbackers pool e their forces, and it is estimated that these were at least 10000 republicans in the greenback ranks. On the average for
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-10-02

the six previous contests between repub- licans and democrats, from 1856 to 1884, the republican percentage was 56.73 and the democratic percentage 41.76. Now the republican precentage stands at 54.6o and the democratic percentage at 42.19, show ing relative gain of 256 per cent for the democrats.
 This is the kind of political revolution that has taken place in Maine. With all the resources of the republican national committee at the beck of the managers in Maine, with Blaine working on the stump and using all his powers of persuasion and misrepresentation, net democratic gain and net republican loss shows that the leaven of tariff reform is working even in dyed -the-wool Maine
 The democrats like this kind of revolu- ton.

EDWIN F. GOULD, who accepted the challenge of John c. New of the Indian apolis Journal to prove the remarks of General Harrison during the labor troubles of 1877, is demanding payment of the g, ,000 which New agreed to pay for proof that the remarks were made MT Gould has made out good case, but it is safe to say that the reward will not be forth coming. Harrison is not going to be en- tirely slaughtered by his friends
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-10-02

1T certainly requires skill and mental dexterity for Harrison to tell the farmer that the tariff which taxes him upon all necessarily cheapens these articles, and that the very same tariff, when imposed upon the wool which he raises and sells, enhances it's price. Such an assumption looks very much like a Successful juggle.

The Armiesof Europe.

= The bloated ornaments of the
great military powers of Europe =
display their proportions in very
striking manner in Colonel Vogt's
work on .. The European Armies Of
the Present The modified strength
of France is set down at 2,O51, 1853
troops, exclusive of the territorial
army, which is equally large; that OF
Russia at 1922, 4O5; Germany, 1893,
$50, and AUSTRIA Hungary, l,O35, 955.
The military strength of Italy has now
attained proportions that would have
been deemed incredible ten years ago.
Including militia.esi it is alleged to
amount to 2,387, 1872 men. Ii, how
ever, a similar inclusion be made in
the case of Russia, the military
strength Of that power will probably
be found to exceed even that of the
French Republic. Compared with
these figures, the numerical propor-
tons Of the British Army ought all
most to satisfy the members Of the
Peace Society. Including our militia
and volunteers, as well as the Indian
army. we can lust muster Isl, 677
troops. And these have to serve for
the defense Of territory distributed
over 3 very much wider area than that
ruled by any Of the other powers.

THE PEASANT KING.
An Exchange Which Brought to
Him a Lifelong Regret.

One day a certain King grew weary
of the luxurious life he was leading.
for, one by one. his every pleasure be-
came monotonous, and at last he knew
not what to do to make his life endur-
able.
So he concluded that sure way out
OF the trouble would be to find out
how other Kings had lived before him,
and to ascertain what they did to gain
happiness and peace OF mind. Ac-
cordingly, he ordered courtier to col
lect all the books concerning Kings,
both in history and fiction, and to
read them aloud to him, that lie might
collect useful information on the sub
ject.
The courtier gathered great num-
Der OF these books and read them
aloud to the King, who still seemed to
be at loss for information regarding
the details of royal happiness. When
the King had about given up in de-
spair, the courtier came to an Eastern
story of ruler who had found hap
piness by changing places with a
peasant.
THAT will do, said the King to the
courtier; IL have tried almost every
other plan to be happy, but without
success. shall now try to find some
peasant in my realm who would like
to be King. In all my travels / have
noticed how contented the peasants
are. They seem to lack no require
ment of earthly happiness; they are
always singing, even at their work,
and would give any thing to be as
happy as peasant. y
As the courtier attempted to go on
with the story, the King held his hand
mp for him to stop.
"Close the book, !" said he; ST shall
follow the example of the King in the
story. There may be a peasant in my
realm who thinks. true happiness
comes to those in power, and who
could be induced to exchange his posi-
tion in life for mine. 2
The courtier protested against such
m experiment, until he thought the
safety of his head was involved and
then desisted.
On the following day the King
