-Messrs. Thomas A. Hays aud Charles l..
! Gorrell, of Bel Air, have invented and applied
for letters patent for an ingenious device fol-
opening and closing window shutters. 1t may

shutters with any style of hinges.
The iron pipes used for the mains in sup
plying Bel Air with water were made at the

being shipped to Bel Air were each
thoroughly inspected by Mr.. Thomas
A. Hays, for the Bel Air Water and
Light Company. Mr.. Hays was engaged
for about two months in this work. Many
of the pipes were rejected by him, some
because Of flaws and others for the reason
that they did not come up to the required
standard of thickness. All of them were test
ed under hydraulic pressure before being sent

The Result In Maine.

The Republicans carried Maine, on Tues
day, electing all of their candidates by in
creased pluralities. Speaker Reed, especial
ly, went through with flying colors, his ma
jority being much larger than it was two
years ago. This is not surprising. He was
determined to succeed, by fair means or foul,
and there is every reason to believe that apart
from the Acknowledgement ofDemocratic vot-
ers money was freely spent in purchasing
votes for Mr.. Reed.
The result is hailed with great enthusiasm
by the Republican press, which has lately
had little cause for congratulation, but it
need not discourage Democrats. The Repub-
licans carrying Maine is like the Dutch tax
ing Holland. Mr.. Reed may pretend to &C
cept his increased majority as an endorse
ment of his dctatorial course, but in his in
ner self he knows the devious ways he and
his followers resorted to to swell his MAORI
ty. Happily the voters of other States are
not so blind or so venal as many of the yot-
ers of Maine appear to be and the November
elections may unfold different tale.
There is, however, little cloud in the Re-
publican horizon-a fly in their cup Of re-
joicing. Secretary Blaine, the idol and hero
of Republicanism, does not exult with Mr.
Reed. He opposed Reeds policy and weak
ened the Mckinley bill by spriDging his re-
ciprocity scheme upon the country. He
opened the eyes of many farmers to the gross
injustice of continuing system of taxation
in which they pay more than their share and
get none of the benefits of protection. The
reciprocity policy, too, has set people to
thinking that if it would be good thing to
encourage foreign merchants and manufac-
turers to exchange some kinds of goods with
our people would it not be wise to extend the
system for the benefit of the farmer and al
low foreign vessels to bring us free of duty
what the farmer needs, and carry away his
beef, pork and grain?
Mr.. Blaine, as statesman, towers far
above Reed. He saw that his party was
drifting to destruction under the guidance of
the short-sghted policy of Reed The latter
resents Secretary Blaine's interference and
thus there is discord where all should be love
and harmony. Speaker Reed now looms Up
as Presidential candidate, and although
Secretary Blaine may not desire or may not
be able to secure the nomination himself, yet
he is powerful enough to defeat the aspira-
tions of Mr.. Reed.
