l. Justice Morgan informs us that mn
erroneous impression is current regard
ing the payment Of bounties on the
scalpa OF n~OXious animals. lie says
that it is the impression that after the
next meeting Of the Board Of Commits
Sinuers no more bUuuties will he al
lowed III this county; and while sevc raj
other counties, among which arc Lau-
der, Eureka and Humboldt refuse
to pay such bounties, no such
ruling has been made by the Commits
sioners Of this county. The ~IHDgpES-
DENT published m item with reference
to tho action of the Commissioners Of
the counties above named, but wc have
never stated that this county would re-
fuse to pny such bounties, and those
persons who Claim that they saw the
notice III this paper ure simply mis-
taken. We cluim that when the GER
t~iticHtes are issued in accordance with
law the Commissioners ARE bound to
ply the chin; and while we are aware
that the tax is n heavy one on the
county, AM that there is reason to be-
lieve that ia some instances the county
has been sNindl-d in paying bounties
OH the scnlps of animals found dead. us
well as those taken in other counties,
we do not belisve the Commissioners
are justified il refusing to pny strictly
legitirr ate claims.

The latest fad is for the woman to re-
tain her family name after marriage in
stead of taking that of her husband.
Every woman has perfect right to do
this if she wants to, because there is no
law compelling her to adopt that of the
man she marries The style has been
started anew by some Of the stronger
minded English women This alone is
sufficient to make it the proper thing for
Anglo-Americans. In England, however.
it is necessary for the woman to advertise
the fact that she is going TO retain her
maiden name. In this country IA man
may take his wife's name instead of her
taking his, but it would probably be bet
ter TO have the change legalized by u
court or legislature in order to prevent
any trouble in relation to property or in
heritanceS.
Wouldn't it be better to call men and
women by their proper names? The
Quakcrs do so. and there is nothing often
sive nor suggestive of undue familiarity
about it. They do so from principle
rather than to be odd. They say: Call
no man master" Mister is but anoihe
term for master, and was originally used
by common people when addressing their
superors, or those whom they served.
As a people we are opposed to titles sug-
gestive of social rank. Our term Mrs. "
is merely form of the English term mis-
tress, which was and is now an undesir-
able title when used in certain connec
tons Usage has changed this somewhat,
yet it is an unnecessary prefix to the
name Of a lady.-Pittsburg CONNER cal

Mexicans take more kindly to railroads
than is generally supposed in the states.
The stage coach will go out of business as
soon as the trains reach Guadalajara. As
much as the people cling to ancient GUS
toms they never ride in n stage when the
cars will carry them to the same destina-
ton. 1t is funny, however, to see them
getting used to the new mode OF travel
The whole family will come down to the
depot to see member off on ten miles
journey. Two or three rounds of kissing
take place, accompanied by steady sob
hing. Choking adioses are shouted and
hunlkerchiefs are waved until the train
is out of sight.
MeXicans not only learn to ride in the
cars, bat they take to railroad work with
great zeal and aptitude. Mexican brake
men and frenlen arc now employed on all
the roads. Mexican clerks and book
keepers fill most OF the subordinate posi-
tons in general offices. Many of the tele-
graph offices are manned by Mexican
operators. The natives will fill these po-
sitions for half what Americans demand,
and, Of course, they get them. About the
only complaint which the railroad man
ayers find with the native help is that it
is sometimes oversmart. -Mexico Cor.

The New York Press has done special
services to tkIe Interests Of American Labor
and tolthe Republican Tariff policy by the
clearness and force with which 1t has SCI
cured and brought out the authoritative
facts in regard to the rewards Of labor and
the cost Of living in England. about which
Free Traders have prated and lied so
much. A responsible writer in the Nine
teenth Century, a well known English mag
azine, exelaims thank God that Englan
counts among her children so many who
know how to live simply and yet nobly on
thirty shilhngs $3.50 per week." To
which Mr.. Price responds: IL can say
more fervently, thank God that America
counts 80 few among her children who
have to live on $3.50 per week.
But the Free Traders attempt to prop
up their cause by the fiction that one can
get more for $3.50 per week in London
than in New York. The following table,
proposed and sworn to by Mr.. Price, tells
its own story. Living on $50 per week
means the same to the Londoner as it does
to the New Yorker, as the prices Of the
common neeessaries of life. including
clothing are substantially the same:

It In Not Well.

The Boston Traveller. both by a liberal
use of scissors and its editorial pen, has
gone into the Blaine killing business, fol
lowing the example of the Mugwump and
Free Trade Herald. which repeats this
exercise about every other day. Why
should a Republican newspaper embark in
these ungenerous assaults on Republican
statesman three thousand miles away,
who is absolutely abstaining from all action
in regard to the Presidential nomination
The Free Trade and Democratic news
papers can do enough OF such kind of
work. If the Republicans are to win in
the coming national contest. they can do
so only by cultivsting harmony and good
feeling. both before and after the Chicago
Convention shall have performed its work.
There have been already too many of these
side assaults and back biting inuendoes.
Leave all such unseemly business to the
Bourbon editors.

A Brief Statement.

IL was not in accord with our wish aud
intent to write or publish single editorial
line on the question of the gubernatOrial
nomination. The grave indiseretion of the
Portland Press attacking the Republican
caucus of Augusta rendered ii necessary
to say what we did. The extraordinary
attempt Of the same paper to make 1t APP
pear that gentleman, who is State
Treasurer, cannot be chosen Governor by
the people, il 30 utterly absurd and
or practice that we cannot do otherwise
than refer to the language of the
Revised Statutes. The words of the
Press are IA follows
"By section IL, chapter 3, of the Revised
Statutes, treasurers and collectors of towns
are forbidden to become selectmcn or asses
sors, until they have completed their duties
as treasurers, and had final settlement
with the town.
The language of the Revised Statutes
is very different, viz;
"Treasurers or Collectors of towns having
more than fifteen hundred inhabitants shall
not be selectmen or assessors"
That is the whole of it. This can mean
nothing more, and nothing else, than that
the same man can not be chosen to hold
the two offices during the same year.
There is no possible correct analogy be-
tween the requirements of this language
and the promotion of n man from the
Office of State Treasury to the Governor
ship. There is not line, ,rOrd, or impii-
cation in the Constitution and Laws of the
State which stands in the way of such pro-
motion. On the other hand, there is no
other office in the State in which the ex-
periencc of serving in it 80 we'll fits him
for promotion to the Governorship a. that
of Treasurer Furthermore, there is not
the slightest practical difficulty IN termina-
ting service in the one office and commence
ing service in the other. As Treasurer he
makes up his report in December, "A Com
mittee of the present Governor and Coun-
ell examine his accounts and make
their report. The Committee of the Leg
islature re-eNamiuc likewise his accounts.
There IL no law, custom, or reason to pre-
vent the election of Il new Treasurer at
once. The Deputy Treasurer, or anyone
else whom the present Governor and coun-
Gil may designate, can have charge of the
Office for few hours. There are no pos
sible complications or reasons for delay.
We are amazed that the Press should as
sumo the responsibility of attempt
ing to throw dust in the eyes
of the public by such absurd petit
Jogging. We are sure it can not aid the
cause of any candidate, unless it he him
against whom 1t is directed. Most assured
~ we hold The candidate of the Press re-
sponsible for no such nonsense. 4 fair,
manly, and kindly tempered canvass is
the only one allowable for any of the can
didates and their friends by the rules. the
prophecies, aud the interests of the Re
publican party of Maine.
