The question is purely one of fact. If the
statement of the Wing be true, and that Of
the PRESS and of Gen. Hamlin false, then OF
course the charge of discourtesy preferred
against Bangor Republicans falls to the
ground. But, for the life of us, we. cannot
see how it happened that Mr. Hamlin was
defeated, if the Burleigh majority were as
magnanimous as they claim to have been.

In Nesting Time. By Olive Thorne Mil
Ter. One of the most attractive books that
has lately appeared is this correction of
sketches of birds, most of which have APP
peared from time to time in the magazines.
The descriptions are mostly Of birds in con-
finement though several are the result of
studies of the feathered creatures in their
native woods, the most notable one being
Bird Study in Southern State. Mrs. Mil
ler's birds have the freedom of the "bird
room," and thus their manners and customs
can be very closely observed, and as much
individuality Of character is found in them
as in human beings. To bird lovers the
book will be fascinating Even persons car
ing little for. birdsicannot fail to be interest
ed in these charming sketches. All the
tricks and manners" of her pets the author
has caught and reproduced in the most de-
lightful series of word-pictures. Boston:

Do you know all liquid sarsaparilas and blood
purifiers are unsafe to use? They contain a large
proportion of alcohol which not only neutraliZes
but is liable to create an appetite for alcoholic
stimulants To the young they are particularly
dangerous, and parents cannot be too careful to
avoid them. The danger of arousing any latent

Life. By Count To lstoi. Count Tolstoi is
widely known and admired as a writer of
brilliant novels. He is also deeply religious
and interested in all that relates to the life
of man. The Life of Man, what is it? Is it
merely the sum total of the functions which
resist death? Is it the phenomena of organ
lc existence? The brevity, the un certainty,
and the sutferings of life are trueisms as old
as history. Yet life must have basis which
is rational and moral, as well as physical.
Whet is the end of our existence? 1t is not
found in the pleasures of sense, for they are
short and unsatisfying. Selfish pursuits de-
grade and destroy the true life Of man, which
is found only when we renounce sensual and
selfish ends, surrender ourselves to God, &C
cept the doctrine of Christ, and like Him
live to promote the highest welfare of all
mankind. New York. Thomas Y. Crowel

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.


The Democratic majority 10 Louisiana
is so large as to call forth comment from
the Democratic journals Returns are in
from all except three parishes Nichols,
Democrat, received 1880, and War
moth, Republican, 1890, estimating the
three parishes not heard from--a Demo
cratic majority of 65, 100. The Republi-
cans carry only IL out OF 5S parishes.
The majorities reported from some of the
parishes in North Louisiana are stnpen-
dous and in some canes Incredible. From
Rapides, where the contest was regarded
close one until few days ago, a ma
jority of 1000 is reported out of 1900
registered votes. The population of the
parish is only "a ,000 Warmotli admits
defeat, but claims that 40, 900 votes were
stuffed in the boxes against him, and con-
sentative Democrats admit that in some
parishes of North Louisiana the returns
are suspicious. In the southern portion
of the State and in New Orleans the Re-
publicans had fall representation at the
polling places, and every one is satisfied
with the result.
One despatch says: "From the country
districts come the most stupendous and
incredible of Democratic majorities. The
tcpOib budb tiio bOutuciu pOibiOb VI tbo
State was going Republican frightened
the election officers there and they piled
up majorities by ballot box stufing that
were impossible. The conservative Dem
ocrats freely admit that in the northern
portion of the State the Democratic ma
joritities returned in a number of parishes
are larger than they could honestly have
been aud that over. jealous men had been
guilty of falsifying the returns. The
feeling in New Orleans and in the south
ern portion of the State is strongly
against this balot-box stuffing, even
among the Democrats, and it is not i'm
probable that some steps will be taken to
expose the election frauds"
The New York World says of the
Rapides vote: ''Snch unanimity is singu.
lar. Let US have that bit of business
locked into"

FACT NOT FICTION.

II any one is curious to know "where
the money goes" let him study the sub
ject of Western mortgages. A recent
investigation by The Department Of Agri-
culture has developed some entertaining
facts The mortgages resting on the
farmers OF ten Western States aggregate,
it appears, 1922, 100000. Ohio lead
ing the list with an aggregate of $701,-
600, 900. In Michigan one half of the
farms are mortgaged, the aggregate debt
secured by mortgage being $3.50, 900, 900.
A striking fact Of the situation is that
the annual net earnings on the capital
invested in farms in the United States
is but four or five per cent, while the
mortgages in question command from
seven to nine per cent. The insurance
companies of Hartford, Ct, own $40, Co.,
600 of Western farm mortgages, and the
loan companies of Boston hold them to
the amount of $76,0e0,000. Still the
West is calling for more money. Pitts.
field Evening Journal.
Another striking fact is that it is
evident that sooner or later property
that pays seven to nine per cent. inter.
est for loans and only earns four or five,
is going into the sheriffs hands.

Protection Facts.

In 1882 New Jersey produced 932, 652
tons of iron ore and the mining industry
was bright.
Republicans. foreseeng the danger
likely to rise from the importation of
foreign ore, urged congress TO make the
duty ST. ton.
Abram 8. Hewitt and other democrat
ic tariff reformers convinced congress
that il foreign ore was admitted under q
low revenue duty, native ores would be
in greater demand for mixing with for
eign ores.
The democrats in an almost solid body
opposed protective tariff on iron ore,
aud it was defeated.
Since then the imports of foreign ore
have increased to nearly 100000 tons
year, and the New Jersey product has
fallen off over 400, 900 tons.
The same tariff thinkers now tell us
that free trade in iron ore will be great
benefit.
That is all there is of it, but it is
worth columns of theoretical gush il the
people will heed the warning it gives.

Correspondence Trenton State Gazette.
FLEMINGToN, April IA, 1883 AT the
converting of court this morning to inves-
ti1ate the matter of the application of
Thomas L. Anderson, of Pattenburg, to
keep an inn, John N. Voorhees,, Esq,
stated that BE had had the remonstrance
filed as he considered no Court of Com
mon Pleas In session for want of Law
Judge. Richard S. Kuhl, Esq, during
the session of the Legislature was ap-
pointed Law Judge and rejected by the
Senate. On the first day of the April
term Of court and after the adjournment
of the Legislature, the Governor appoint
ed Mr.. Kuhl.
Mr.. Voorhees, stated that for two rea-
sons he did not consider the appointment
of Mr.. Kuhl legal and therefore no court
was In session to try the present matter.
The one reason is an entirely new one
and the other such as has arisen in other
cases but never been judically settled.
The latter is as TO whether, after the
rejection of nomination by the Senate
the Governor can refuse to send in an.
other name and then afterwards appoint
to the Office the same man.
The new question, however, is whether
the Governor had the power to appoint a
Judge when no vacancy actually existed.
Under law passed at the last session of
the Legislature, and known as Senate bill
No. 1877, which law is ineffect, and which
vests in the Chief Justice or any Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court power
to appoint Law Judge of another county

Judge who, through absence, sickness or
other inability, is incapable to perform

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

thing to Say.


Senator Blodgett has been in Phila-
delrhia serving on Senate investiga-
ting committee for some days past. In
terviewed by reporter he snid:
81 am in favor of n reduction of the
income of this government raised by
taxation, tariff or internal, to an amount
sufficient to conduct its affairs, econom.
ically administered. The reduction in
tariff tax should be made with great
care, aud upon such imported articles
that would cause the least injury and as
little shock as possible to the great
manufacturing interests OF this country.
II am not prepared to say just now
what articles in the tariffschedule should
be admitted free or under nominal
duty, but there must be great reform
in this direction. In such legislation |
take it that every Representative and
Senator will be governed in large de-
gree by the sentiments and interests of
his constituency. He will keep watch.
full eye upon the industries of his dis
trict or State, and if convinced that in
jury will be done by the material reduc-
ton upon this or that article of produce
or manufacture in his district he will
vigorously resist radical changes. In

effected by tariff changes. | would
