The efforts of the friends of the western
candidates to create sectional feeling be-
tween the West and the East in order to
beat Mr. Reed, do not succeed because there
is not the slightest reason for the existence
of such feeling. The only national issues
on which the. West and East are solid against
one another is the silver question, and the
line of division on that question, were it an
issue in the present contest, would not be
east Of Ohio and consequently could not hurt
Mr.. Reed so much as it would help him.
But the votes of ali the leading candidates
on that question are the same as the votes
of Mr.. Reed, SO that cause for division is
ruled ont

Maine is more interested in the fortunes of

Maine is more interested in the fortunes of
Lynn than in those of any other Massachu-
sets city. Lynn is the centre of the great
shoe business of New England. and much of
the overflow of that business has come to
Maine. Several of the firms mentioned
among the sufferers in the fire have factories
In Maine towns also, notably d. f. Spinney
d Co., of Norway. There are also Lynn fac
tories in Skowhegan, Gardiner, Kennebunk,

less some OF the firms shall be forced to cur
tail their operations. 1t seems more proba-
bic that some of the Lynn business may be
transferred to Maine.

The Portland Advertiser, Portland Ex-
press. Bangor Commercial aud Lewiston
| Journal, contained conversations last night
with the Hon. William Fl. Looney on the
Australian ballot system. The conversations
are identical in lar guage. Mr.. Looney ex-
presses the fullest confidence that the next
Legislature of Maine will pass his bill, or
one substantially like it. The most inter-
esting and important part of the CONVERSE
tion is contained in this paragraph:
II Governor Burleigh were TO Call an extra ses-
sion OF the present legislature this winter such
bill would, am confident, receive an almost
Unanimous passage. Such prominent opponents

seat, and is prepared to waive all his objec-
tions of last winter. Stranger still is the in
timation that the Speaker, like Felix of old
was almost persuaded to support the bill last
winter and would have done so If some
amendments had been made. The public had
been led to suppose by the utterances CT the
Evening Express that Speaker Dow was I'M
aterably opposed to the bill, and that his
objections, like those of the Express, went
to the very essence of the system. 1t is
reasonable to infer, however. from what Mr.
L0oney says about the Speaker attitude
did not meet his approval, and that it will
not meet his approval in the future unless it
valves its objections to Mr.. Looney's bill,
| including that one which went to the very
essence of the system. We are glad to see
that Mr.. Looney has set Speaker Dow right

Congress will assemble next Monday The
organization will be completed without de-
lay. The first contest of any magnitude will
come over an attempt to change the rules so
as to place the control of business in the
hands of the majority, where it rightly be-
longs. The Democrats have already an
nounced their intention to filibuster, if need
be, to prevent the proposed change, claiming
that it is movement to restrict the rights of
the minority. To adopt the new rules will
require the substantially unanimous vote of
the Republicans, inasmuch as their full
strength is only three more than quorum,
and quorum they must show without the
aid Of the Democrats, who will refrain from
voting With the rules changed the majori-
t. will have better chance, but even then
they can accomplish nothing against the
combined opposition of the Democrats, un-
less they can show 166 of their own number
present and voting. 1t follows that the Re-
publican Representative has got to pay strict
attention to business at the coming session.

The returns of the Methodist Missionary
convention do not show that the country
ministers are getting such salaries as to
make their passage through the straight and
narrow gate SO difficult as the passage of a
camel through the eye of needle. Indeed,
their absence of opportunity to acquire
worldly treasure indicates that they will
have much advantage over the camel. In
twelve towns within the borders of the State
the Methodist clergymen get an average
salary of not over $567; and in the same
towns the Congregational ministers get only
$3.50 on an average. Considering what is ex-
pected of The minister and his family in the
community, 1t cannot be claimed that these
are exorbitant salaries. There are of course
certain incidental sources of income such as
the voluntary fees for marriages and funpr-
ais; but the total of these cannot be large in
the small communities. The pay of the
country pastor is almost as poor as the pay
OF the country school teacher.
