PortIand's BUSINESS the Past Year,

The Boston Sunday Herald prints the fol-
lowing about the business of Portland:
One of the best informed men in the city
told the Herald correspondent that the
volume of business transacted during the
last II months was the largest in the city's
history, and Indicative of steady growth
More goods have been sold here than in any
previous year, and a larger proportion than
ever of the goods bought by merchants
throughout the state has been bought in
Portland. Outside of Portland there has
beensome ok ension of business, though not
large. The increase of the Maine Cent? al
railroads freight business this year by $780,
600 furnishes some evidence. The great
capacity of the road has been none too great
for the business it has had to handle.
AS rule, profits have been small. Here,
as elsewhere, consolidation is the tendency,
and margins of profit are smaller. But more
care is shown in doing business. There
have been fewer failures The traders
throughout the state are on a solid basis, and
are. not overloaded with goods, except oc-
casi0nally, through the solicitations of drum
mers from the west of us.
Some business men complain because the
officers OF our state institutions, like the in
sane hospital, think it pays them to buy
their supplies outside the state, when they
could do Just as well at home.
Sioux Falls and other western speculations
have been curse to honest business, 1t is
gratifying to hear that some of the men who
| have been instrumental in promoting this
crazy rush are suffering for it.

IN hLAoK LETTERS.

The Examiner thinks the statement that
every Republican in the last Legislature
who voted on the appropriations voted in
-avor of them" Of sufficient Importance to be
q distinguished with black letters Whether
lie statement is exactly true or not is not of
much importance. The Republicans have
not vet renominated the members OF the last
Legislature who assisted Buckley in his raid
mon the State Treasury. The Examiner
knows also that the minority members of a
legislative body often have TO choose between
voting against needed appro. riati0ns and
voting for eXtrayagant ones. The majority
in committee fixes the amount Of the items in
the. appropriation bill, leaving the minority
to vote for the amount as agreed upon or to
vote against any appropriation at all. But
while certain Republican members of the last
Legislature are not free from eensure the
party can hardly be held responsible for them
until il indorses their course. The only
State official who has yet come up for in
dorsement is Governor Waterman. That
official is still in the dumps because he was
not named in the proceedings OF the conven-
ton. On the other hand the Democrats have
enthusiastically Endorsed their leaders. If
the Democrats control the next Legislature
Buckley will direct its proceedings as be
did in 1889. The voters will have a choice
between a party which dispenses with the
services of unfit men and one which con-
tinues the unfit men in power. The En-
ominer says the politicians of both parties
kept getting holder and bo,der because they
saw the people did not seem 10 care. Now
that they see the people do care they are
going to reform. A change of policy is gen.
orally marked by retirement Of the leaders
whose conduct made change necessary. The
Republicans have changed leaders. The
Democrats, however, keep their boss in full
charge of the party while declaring their in,
ten,i0n to reform.
