A Tragedy.

The report of the Coroner's jury on the
death of Jacob F. Britt appears to have
been made with careful deliberation. 1t
certainly is full of suggestion. Rum
seems to have been the criminal. But
rum has not brain, hand, feet, nor response
bility. Rum is Il dumb, blind, irresponsi-
BILE agent. Ii rum was the instrument
which felled human being to the earth
and placed him on the track of the iron
train and certain death, how came the
victim under its poisonous and Grazing
influence? Who sold him the agent of
death? 1t was done in violation of laws
human and divine. 1t was done
in wanton contempt of the
rights and interests of society. 1t was
done in the same disregard of the welfare
of others, of the peace and welfare of the
home and the fireside, as shown by the
hired incendiary who fires the occupied
dwelling by nighttime and by Infatuated
savages who apply the torch to homes and
villages. The hands that supplies alco-
holic poison to the victims of appetite
must be held responsible for the tragedy.
A just public opinion calls to the officials
of the law-hunt the rascals down.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-07-04

An able and truthful contemporary
remarks that Benjamin Harrison and
Grover Cleveland are about the same age.
Both were young men when the Demo
cratic party of nearly all the Democratic
States declared war against the Union.
But their attitude toward the sublimest
tragedy of this century was different.
Harrison laid down his law-books, buckled
on n sword and hurried to the defence of
the flag. Cleveland hired a substitute.
This contrast is eloquent in portraying
the di ference in the character of the two
men who to-day offer themselves for the
sutlrages of their fellow citizens. Harri-
son and Morton were true to their country
in the hour of its need. while the SYM
pathies of Cleveland and Sherman were
much too strongly with their brethren of
the South.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-07-04

There are in all 4Ol electoral votes, and
the winning ticket must get not less than pol.
Mr.. Blaine was just 10 short in 1884, and
should General Harrison do as well in the
Republican states, he will need just that
number. OF these Indiana, Harrisons own
state, is counted on to furnish Is. Cleveland,
with Hendricks running for vice-president,
carried it in 1854 by 6522, but there was then
a Greenback vote of 1928 and Prohibition
vote of 302S. Harrison will certainly be
stronger in Indiana than Blaine was four
years ago, and the death of Mr.. Hendricks
has deprived the Democracy of that state of
its most conspicuous, respected and efficient
leader. At the last state election in Indiana,
that of 1886, the Democrats were beaten by
1924.
The Is electoral votes of Indiana would
leave the Republicans within four of the
number required to elect. These are ex-
pected from the State of Connecticut, which
has always been remarkably close aid which
was carried by Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 by a
meagre plurality of 1884, with Prohibition
vote of 24s9, the greater portion of which
will probably fall back into the Republican
column this year, Connecticut is high
tariff State, and went against Hancock in
1880 by 1855. Should the Republicans sue
coed, either by good management or by the
projection of the tariff issue, in securing
the electoral votes of Connecticut, they will
be entirely independent of New York.
Under ordinary circumstances, and espec-
tally with a candidate like General Harrison,
whose record on the Chinese question is not
popular. there would be considerable doubt
of the ability of the Republicans to maintain
their ascendency in the three Pacific States
of Nevada, California and Oregon. But the
recent election in the last named State, when
the same questions as will affect California
and Nevada swelled the normal Republican
majority of 1000 to 1000 gives pretty fair
indication of the result to be expected in
November.
| 1t will not do for the Democrats to un.
derrate the political Importance of the Har-
rison and Morton ticket. While its nominal
ton makes Indiana and Connecticut, from
this time on, the vertable battle ground
New York is not withdrawn from the ques.
| ton, for while it is absolutely indispensable
to the success of Cleveland and Thurman
its loss would by no means deprive the Re
publicans of their chances, or render the
| fight hopeless for them. They won the cleo
ton of 1868 without New York and might
be able to do it again.
! Underlying all this is the fact that Gener
al Harrison, like General Garfield, is an
Ohio man, native of the Buckeye State
and that Morton, like Arthur, the vice pres
dental nominee of the ticket of 1885, is
New Yorker. Indeed, the Republican tick
eli of 1888 has many points of resemblance
to the Republican ticket of 1880, and, as all
Democrats well remember, the latter won.

This plainly enough shows how many
falsehoods the Mugwump press was
guilty of in 1884. The warfare upon Mr..
Blaine was pretext, not reason. 1t
was Republicanism itself they deserted
and wished to defeat. Now they think
they have got far enough along to be able
to throw off the mask in safety. The

spicuous then. and equally Free Trade

A Critics Golden Mean,

After all, blame lends itself TO Wit 90
much more readily than praise does,
and to praise with self respect and
without gush, and with q certainty
that praise is not all mistake, 10 so diff
ficult, that the critic suspends his pen
on its way from the inkstand 10 the
paper. and hesitstes. Blame is always
safe, for nothing In the way Of human
thought or conception ever was or
ever can be perfect. Aud the more
nearly good in itself Is the thiLg that
the critic blames, why. OF course, 80
much the loflier must be the critical
standard.
Nevertheless indiscrimate eulogy is
rapid and valuless. Even the per-
son eulogized does not, in the bottom
of his soul, believe in what Is said OF
him. At the best ifthere be any true
stuff In hlm) he will feel that you
have OWNED his intention, aud have
praised, not his achievements, but
that. II, on the other hand, he has no
true stuff In him, he Is led 10 fancy
that his bad work Is good enough, and
does not try to make II better. Be-
tween indiscriminate eulogy and
sweeping condemnation there Is a
golden mean, but how hard It lie to hit
it.-Julian Hawthorne, In the Amerl-
can Magazine for January.
