the service to the navy, as the House bill
proves, or by retention In the treasury with

Politics has finally proved too much for
one historic waterway In this country that
has made many fortunes both financial and
political In days gone by. This is the Cum
berland and Ohio canal which has done an
immense business up to within few years,
keeping pace with Its rival the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad as well ss canal can compete
with railroad. For year and half the
canal has been idle for lack of money with
which to make needed repairs. For years
money that had been intended for use in
maintaining the canal had been diverted
Into the pockets of politicians, aud at last
the people rose up in rebellion and refused
to vote any more unless the management
could be divorced from politics. This could
not be done and therefore the old canal once
so prominent in the history Of Maryland end
the nation seems destined to become thing
OF the past, along with the national turnpike,
and the Bladensburg tavern.

THE DOODLE CRY A PATENT LIFE PRE-
SERVER
[Boston Transcript
According to one despatch from Portland
Mr.. Frank, who was showed under Tuesday
has been dug out by rescue party of report
ers and has explained his misfortune by say
ing that Mr.. Reeds plurality in excess Of
that given him two years ago was the result
Of the use of money. This patent explana-
tion made for the use of defeated candidates
had better be consigned to innocuous des-
uetude, since the man who makes 1t indicts
his own party OF venality. The Democrats
in the first Maine district must be an unusu-
ally bad lot if thousands of them can be
bought up. As matter of fact, Mr. Reed is
so much bigger man than Mr.. Frank that
when the latter ran against him it was COL
lision with the usual result to the smaller,
who now bears no semblance of political i'm
portance.
GOOD ADVICE TO MIR. FRANK.
[Biddeford Journal
1t is pardonable in the average Democratic
shouter to allege that the result of the cleo
ton in this district was obtained by the use
of money-he don't know what else to say
and don't know any better than to say that
But when man of the intelligence of ex-can-
didate Frank says. as the Boston Herald re-
ports him, that "he believes money bought
every vote of Reeds increased plurality"
he betrays an astonishing lack of candor or
the possession of vast amount of misinfor-
nation. To assert that twenty-four hundred
citizens of the First district bartered their
votes to Mr.. Reed for money consideration
would imply that Mr.. Frank has a very low
opinion OF his own party associates, for If
the story were true, none but Democrats
would be negotiated with. But it isn't true.
and no man Of average intelligence has any
reason to "believe" it. Mr.. Frank, If he
wishes to preserve his own self respect, can
not afford to allow his name to go on record,
coupled with such a damaging statement
without vigorous protest.
