patronage is a source of weakness to any
party. That is universally recognized by all
1udicious men. The way to render 1t the
least harmful is to keep it within reach of
OF the people. When they can have voice
the danger of bad appointments is least to
be feared. The custom in Maine has always
been to ertrust 1t to representatives of the
people. 1t is worth while to remember that
the patronage of the custom houses with
In the last few years has become much diff
ferenr from what it was. Since the notifies
act was repealed and the civil service law
enacted the relative value of patronage in
the different districts has been greatly
changed.
The collectorship of Portland used to be
worth the attention of our most distin-
guished men, for 1t was worth when Gov
Washburn had it from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. Now the salary of $4,000 is all. In
those days it had sixty or seventy employees
appointed by the collector, now there are only
seventeen and some of these are as much
fixtures as If under the civil service law.
All the rest of the places have now ceased to
be patronage.
Most people will be surprised to know that
the First district in its patronage is second
In both numbers and amount of salaries to
the fourth. and third in point Of numbers of
employees. The official report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury page 1886 ct seq gives
the figures which in connection with the
civil service law and rules show what each
district has as follows:

There seems to be propensity In discussion
to mistake Mr.. Wiman's scheme for union
between the United States and Canada. Re-
ciprocity, such as we had before the war, is
one thing. Commercial union. as outlined
by Mr.. Wiman, is quite another and very
different thing. Mr.. Wiman proposes to take
up the tariff along our northern border and
place 1t around the continent In other
words, he proposes practically that there
shall be free trade from the Rio Grande to
Hudson's Bay; but he also proposes that
this whole territory shall be protected
against other countries by tariff dictated
practically by the United States. This is a
very different arrangement from what ex-
istted under the reciprocity treaty. Whether
1t would be an advantageous arrangement
cannot be decided off hand, nor have we
any data that throws much light upon it..
The conditions Of reciprocity were so differ
ent from what the conditions of commercial
union would be that the experience under
reciprocity does not have much application.
But there is one difficulty the strength of
which can be submitted to the test of expe-
rience, and that is the difficulty of meeting
one of Mr.. Wiman's prime conditions, name
ly, that the same tariff shall surround both
countries. Experience has shown that the
difficulties of constructing tariff accepta-
BILE to our own people are enormous. But Mr..
Wiman's scheme necessitates the construc-
tion OF tariff not only acceptable to our
own people, but to the Canadians as we'll,
for it is not supposable that they would
agree TO any other kind. Considering the
different relations the two countries hold
and have held for years to England, and the
different feelings. such an undertaking
looks upon its face well nigh impossible of
accomplishment at the present time or in
the near future.

The Pennsylvania railroad company is ex-
perimsnting with an English locomotive on
its main line between Harrisburg and AL
toona. In the run between the two cities
the English machine consumes five or ten
bushels of coal less than the American en-
gipe, but experienced railroad men think
that the foreign locomotive cannot compare
with those made in this country. They say
1t takes more time to start, cannot haul a
heavy train, and. taking it all in all, cannot
be depended upon An official of the COM
pany says it will be used until it has run
out, but he thinks it will be the last of the
English locomotives on that line.
A skunk farm is the dubious title of an ap-
parently successful enterprise at Leiceste,
Colo. In a tightly boarded enclosure of
about an acre Mr.. Clark has,about 300 skunks.
Trenches have been dug, in which the ami
mails have made nests and raised their young
which average from nine to IL at litter.
The animals are raised for their fur and oil,
and the business has proved very profitable,
as there Is but little expense attending the
crop, and the food is simply refuse material
from the farm and slaughter house. The
furs are shipped to the New York market
and bring 81 apiece.

Senator Teller explains that his vote
against MuTat Halstead was not on account
of any personal feeling arising from the at
tacks of the Cincinnati Commercials Gazette,
but for tie reason that he thought that Mr..
Halstead's temperament untitled him for
minister to Germany when grave questions
were under consideration requiring for their
peaceful settlement GOODNESS and discretion.
This is good reason for voting against Mr..
Halstead, and If 1t was actually the reason of
Mr.. Teller's vote, then Mr.. Teller cannot be
rightfully accused Of being actuated by un-
worthy motives. Unfortunately. however
there are certain circumstances that create
the suspicion that Mr.. Teller's explanation
is an afterthought.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breath freely sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous, putrid matter deiles the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery of
smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system
does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object of all afflicted But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. 1t is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent
in curing, safe, economical and never-failing.

tie of the RADICAL CURE one box of CATARRHAL
SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED INHALER, all

The withdrawal of the nomination of Mr..
Fairbanks for State liquor commissioner
and the reinstatement of Col. Howard are in
the interest of fair play. The removal of an
officer in the midst of his term when he be-
longs to the same party as the removing
power, cannot, of course. be attributed to
political differences. 1t can only mean that
the officer removed has been incompetent or
unfaithful or that the appointing power is
anxious to create a vacancy to appoint
friend or friend of somebody who has rem
dered him some distinguished political or
other service. If it means the first then
charges should accompany it. If the second
then it is utterly indefensible.

Within a few days resolution will be
introduced into the Dominion Parliament
which will give the members an opportunity
to express their sentiments in regard to CON-
mercial union, as proposed by Mr.. Erastus
Wiman. The resolution has been prepared
and is as follows:
=. Resotced, That It is the opinion OF this house
That, I'D view of the fostering care extended by
the mother country TO her colonies from their in
fancy, as well as for the favorable terms Oh which
ihelr products have always been admitted into
her markets, 1t would be unjust to the I'm ted
Kingdom TO levy higher duties on goods imported
from thence than on goods OF the same character
imported from any foreign country.
The resolution is drawn skilfully to appeal
to Canadian loyalty, and to put those who
vote against 1t In the position of preferring
the United States to England. 1t is however
the position in which consent to tariff
around the continent like that proposed by
Mr.. Wiman would seem to put them.
