GOVERNOR woLFLEY REMOVED.

Several of the Arizona papers, Republi-
can as well as Democratic, are rejoicing 4
over telegram from Washington saying
that Governor WoLFLEy has been, or soon
will be, removed as result of charges
filed against him. The Associated Press
has said nothing of the matter, but we as
sumo that the Arizona newspapers are cor
rect in their information. We also rejoice
with them in the removal, if it is removal,
and will regret to learn that the announce
ment is premature. Arizona has been af
fiicted with many very scrubby federal Of
ticials, in that respect greatly resembling
Utah 10 the years agone 1t has seemed
that if there were a orolehly snide fell
low who had any claim upon the admins
tration party, he was rushed off TO Arizona
or Utah. WoLFLEY belonged in the territory
but it was understood at the time of
his appointment that some Republican
politician in the east was under obligations
to him. and fearing that the former might
turn and fasten himself upon the aforesaid
politician, the latter secured the governor
ship of the territory for the fellow against
the earnest protest of the better people Of
the circumstances it was only natural that
his occupancy of the Office should encounter
opposition. From the first, war has been
made upon the fellow, who has zen all
the time on the defensive. There has been
no peace for him and not much for the peo-
pie; if he were at all sensitive or had any
regard for the proprieties he would never
have accepted the Office, or would have re-
signed when he discovered how offensive he
was to the majority of the people: but
he seems to have belonged to that ugly
class who care nothing for the decenc es
of things.
WoLFLEY is the man who asked
Congress to re-enact the law denying
citizenship to members of the Mormon
church and his secretary went all the way
to Washington to appear before the House
committee on territories, to urge the infamy
Before the committee Secretary MURPHY
was compelled admit to that the Mormons
were law abiding, peaceful and progressive
and that they were guilty of no wrong do
ing so far as he or their neighbours were
aware. Being closely crowded, he vir
tually confessed that the only reason he
could find for urging their disfranchise
ment was the fact that most of them voted
the Democratic ticket, ana thus made Ari
IONA Democratic territory whereas if the
Mormons were debarred from the ballot
box the Republicans would have control
, of the commonwealth.
We sincerely hope that Governor VOL
FKEY has been bounced and then we hope
that Secretary MURPHY will soon have 8
successor.

that Congress will adjourn without dis

TIE ALEXANDRIA Gazette is in the habit of
saying what it thinks, regardless of the con-
sequences, 1t takes courageous and con-
scientious editor in these days to pen lines
like the following:
Under The new anti Mormon law nobody who
belongs to the Mormon church is to be allowed
to vote, hold Office acquire title to any part of
the public land. Now, the Mormon church re-
cognizes GoD as its head, and the affective in
tervention of His Son. JESUS CHRIST, and surely
any Christian church is better than none But
atheists and infidels are allowed all the priv
leges OF which the Mormons are deprived. And
that, too, though the constitution expressly pro-
hibits the imposition Of any religious test or
qualification upon the citizens of the country.

the American socialist; the former is "a
thoughtful student and moderate re-
former the latter is at best seditious talker.
Hence we cannot think of the two as at all
similar, nor can we commend BIsMARCK's
policy in making war on the element that
has merely made reasonable protest
against militarism, and the divine right Of
hereditary rulers to govern wrong The
spirit of the times cannot be resisted
even in Germany, and for this reason, at
least. it is best that BISMARCK has retired.

THE HOME MARKET.

The census, as far as it has been COM
made handsome progress in population,
while the New England states have re-
manned about at standstill. IN the north
ern states, from Illinois eastward, the in
crease of population has been confined al
most entirely to cities. The rural districts
have lost, in many cases what the cities
have gained.
This indicates that in the northern states
and especially in the New England states,
in which the home market for agricultural
products is within s'short haul'' of the
farms, there farming is the least prosper
Gus. The protection that has brought the
manufacturer and the farmer nearer to-
gether, has ruined the latter without
greatly aiding the former. There is no
advantage in bringing these classes near
together; they do not help each other; the
"proximity'' idea has been given a test and
has failed of good results; the prices in
the home market are fixed by those
in the worlds market for agricul-
tural products, because farmers are too
numerous to combine into trusts. Having
mandatory near a farming district is OF
no especial advantage to the farmer, since
the hands do not consume great quantities
of farm produce, and these are bought at
the worlds market price. To confine the
farmer to the home market, as the present
tariff does by Selling one third of his goods
if he exports them, must ruin him, just as
the Chinese farmers have been reduced tt
a few cents day by confinement to theil
own home market, great as it is.
On the whole the census seems to show
that there has been the greatest prosperity
where there has been the least stimulation
by the tariff and vice versa.

What VIII the Census Be?

As the time draws near for the taking of
the eleventh national census, estimates of
the probable total population of the coun-
try are appearing in print in great album
dance. Many of them are altogether alb
surd. The highest figure that any one has
yet ventured to give as guess is 72,OOO, 600,
and the lowest 6OOOO,OOO. Neither of these
can be justified, however, by any statistical
induction. Probably each is about equally
far from the truth; and most likely mean
between them, or say 65,OOO,0 600, would be a
fairly accurate estimate. That is about the
population, indeed, that we may expect to
have from the usual ratio Of increase. With
one exception every federal census since that
of 1880 has shown an increase of about 80
per cent in ten years. The exception was
the census of 1870 when, in consequence of
the loss of life by war, the ratio was found
to be somewhat less. If the usual ratio has
been kept up from 1880 to 1880, we must
have now about 65,0OO,OOO inhabitants,
which is larger population than any other
single country except China and Russia can
count up. Of course most of the increase
will come from the west. In the older
states of the east the rate of gain in the last
three decades is much less than in the
country as whole. In Rhode Island it is
more than two-thirds as fast; and
when we come to count up in June, We shall
probably find that our population of 276,-
531 in 1880 has increased to only about 337,
600 in 1880, and possibly not SO much as

Few among the many thousands who
have said or written sneering things
about that human oddity, DR.. Mary
Walker, will not experience sense Of
remorse more or less poigant when they
learn that she is now hopeless invalid,
occupying cherries garrett in Wash
ington, penniless and consequently
friendless. She suffered the breaking OF
a leg nearly year ago, and q fall subse.
quently inflicted such injury that the
best that can be hoped for her (Schop-
penhaur would have said and others Of
the school of pessimists will say that it
is the worst) is that she will rise from
her bed MANNED, while it more than
probable that she will never leave he1
room alive. Hereafter the recollection
of the queer figure, attired in a garh
that was nearly masculine and yet femi-
nine enough to attract attention will be
attended with a suggestion of pathos
inspired by her isolated life and unhappy
death.

Bohemian Avant- Courier: The HELENA
INDEPENDENT doesn't appear to weaken a
particle on its mammoth 12-page Sunday
editions, as last Sundays edition abundant
ly testities. It's big paper, even for such
an enterprising and public-spirited city as
Helena, and although it appears to be liber-
ally patronized by the business men of the
city, it is safe to say that it is worth vastly
more to them and the community at large
than it is to its editors and publishers. We
are almost ashamed to think that we have
nothing larger than the weekly Avant-
Courier and our pious, republican prayers
to offer in exchange for the large everyday
INDEPENDENT; but SO long as the exchange
accounts are thus kept balanced we shall
religiously endeavor to suppress apologies
for our own unavoidable short. comings.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN AS A GUNNER.
P1unked Dollar Island the First Crack and
Made tho Reputation of Maine Cannon.


Plunked Dollar Island the First Crack and
Made the Reputation of Maine Cannon.
A story is told of an incident of the war,
which took place at Pushaw Pond, then as
now famous fishing resort for Bangorians'
Early i'll the strife the government secured
guns and cannon wherever it could, and
every private foundry and machine shop in
the land was pressed into service to produce
weapons with which to arm the volunteers.
Thus it was that the old Bangor firm OF
Hickey g. Egery became engaged in the
work. The story goes that at one time they
had contracts to make and did make some
cannons. When ready Tor service, these
were taken out to Pushaw and to the Perch
House landing, the understanding being
that if Dollar Island, three-quarters of a
mile away, and about an eighth of mile
long, could be hit by ball from one of the
new guns, they would be accepted by the
authorities. A Bangor man had charge OF
the practice and really felt he was the
biggest gun there, as he represented the
government.
Now it SO happened that the war vice
president, the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, ar,
rived home that day, and as he was Jealous
in everything pertaining to the country's
the proceedings, and for some time was an
interested spectator of the vain attempts tc
hit the island, though it was plain to be
seen the cannon could project ball twice
that distance. As the tale is told, it is evil
dent there was too much cider at the rear Of
the guns, disturbing the aim.
After the guns had been loaded and dis.
charged several times Mr.. Hamlin Joined
the amateur artillerymen, sighted over one
cannon and aimed it, after which 1t was
discharged. The aim was true, and the
ball, skimming the waters surface, struck
the island at the water line, point always
aimed at IN actual warfare and when bonn
harding ships. There was much applause,
though in the hustle and general hilarity,
no one seems to have recognized the new.
conner, due probably to the cider.
The government boss was down by the
waters edge when the report came, and
when he saw how true the aim had been, hi
took umbrage, as he had previously sighted
the gun, and with that dignity which mer
clothed with temporary authority often as
sumo, strobe back to the cannon. With az
oath he wanted to know who had been fool
ing with the cannon, and was told that 'OlC
fellow up on the grass did it.
Hither he went, approaching Mr.. Hamli1
from behind, and rs he whirled him about
sticking his nose into government affairs!
Then there came over the face of the sec
ond highest official of the nation that quie
but characteristic smile never seen else
where, and which even the befuddled brazil
of the Bangor man recognized. He took
second look, gasped, became sober in an in
slant, and fed, nor was he again seen il

they did good service; but they we're neve
better aimed than when the vice-presiden

knowing that presidential boom is a

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

One of our most active and enterprs-
ing business men writes to The INDIE
PENDENT as follows:
Would it not be better to use the $1O0,OO
that is to be raised for advertising the city
so as to build it up, to take this money to
put into enterprises that would be located
here if inducements were offered. What
this city is in want of is manufactures.
What good will it do to get large number
of people to come here with nothing for
them to do? Let the business men raise a
fund and advertise that they have so much
money to put into such an enterprise if To-
Gated here so much into another, and SO
on. Let factories be started and the people
will come here fast enough. As it is now
there is nothing to induce any man with
family to come here, no employment
for his children or for himself.
One hundred Thousand dollars is an enor-
nous sum to be spent in printers ink, and
in the end nothing to show for it. Take
this same sum of money, divide it up in
sums from 5000 to $4,000 and put into
enterprises that will bring interest to the
investors, and in two years this money will
double itself three times building up the
city. Locate five enterprises that would
require from 5000 to $4,000 to run them
and one or two that would require from
$4,000 to $4,000, and then see how soon
people would locate here and how soon
houses would go up all over the city. Then,
too, this same amount of money expended
now in this way would come back again to
the subscribers to this fund in the snaps of
dividends and interest upon the invest
ment, and with pride the citizens could
look upon these institutions as fruits of
their labor.
The point is we'll taken. The INDE-
PENDENT has repeatedly called attention
to the necessity of holding out induce
ments to manufacturers to come here
In other places the citizens give land, or
buildings, or stock subscriptions to new
enterprises. The Committee Of Fifteen
appointed at Thursday nights meeting
to take in hand the collection Of sub
scriptions might protitably consider this
phase of the question. The merits of
Helena should be thoroughly advertised
but when replies to the advertisements
begin to come in we ought to be ready
to tell inquirers what inducements we
are prepared to offer capital and labor
over other points that will sharply com
pete with us for both.
