Gov. Gordon of Georgia, who so effusively
endorsed the proposition Of the Atlanta Con-

election bill was passed by Congress. is now
trying to back out Of his hasty and ill-con.

he now affirms, was that the passage of the
bill would cause confusion, and estrange-

In his note to Vice President Webb of the
New York Central railroad Mr.. Powderly
virtually said that the only cause for the
strike was the discharge of New York Central
employees because they were knights OF La
Dor. Mr.. Webb replied that no employees
had been discharged for that reason. Ii Mr..
Webb told the truth, the excuse for the
strike was gone. but as the strike continues
and an extension OF it is threatened, IL is
quite evident that either Mr.. Powderly did
not believe the Vice President, or that he
mas no power or disposition to control the
knights. Provided he had the power the
best policy for Mr.. POwderly to pursue
would have been to accept Mr.. Webb's state
ment and put an end to the strike. If, as the
Knights suspect, the New York Central has
determined to get rid of all members of that
organization simply because they are MEM
oers, It's purpose would soon have become so
apparent that it could not have been denied.

The terrible accident on the Old Colony
railroad near Quincy appears to have been
the result of gross and inexcusable careless
ness. Workmen were repairing the track at
point where by reason of a sharp curve
they could not see an approaching train until
1t got close upon them. While at work the
train came along and it was upon them be-
fore they had time to remove jack
with which they were repairing the track.
The jack was struck by the train with the
terrible results detailed by the telegraph.
The carelessness was SO gross as probably to
subject the guilty party to Indictment form
manslaughter.

Alfred's reputation for hospitality, which
has never been questioned, SO far as we
know, was well sustained yesterday, the
Biddeford Standard will be glad to learn.
When Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge arrived in
town he was met by committee at the depot
and in company with other gentlemen was
escorted to the court house, the Sanford
band leading the way. And at the court
house an audience at least three times as
large as that which heard the Democratic
speakers last week, was present. and enjoyed
and applauded Mr.. Lodges arguments for
the election bill and his eulogy to Mr.. Reed.

[Biddeford Timesl
Whatever may have been the shortcomings
of the Republican state convention in the
matter of secret ballot, there is no doubt
that the heart of Portland beats true to the
reform. At the Cumberland county conven-
Tuesday it was resolved that "the purity of
the ballot is the safeguard Of the state and
nation to surround it with every possible
protection is a part of good government, and
to this end the Republicans OF Cumberland
county endorse the secret system Of voting
with official ballots" This was the very
resolution which the state convention
rejected for one which meant anything or
nothing. 1t is safe to say that the western
end OF the state will be promptly heard from

The question which Mr.. Hoar raised in the
Senate yesterday and began to debate is one
OF the most important that has come before
that body for many years. 1t involves, not
merely the fate Of the Federal election bill,
but 1t may involve the fate of all other bills
now before the Senate. 1t is practically the
same question which the House took up and
settled at the beginning of the session,
namely, whether the majority shall legislate.
Ii Mr.. Hoar's motion looking to abbrevia-
tion Of debate is adopted the majority of the
Senate will then have control Of the busi-
ness and may enact such measures as it sees
fit, into laws. Ii 1t rejects 1t and decides to
continue to allow unlimited freedom of de-
bate then the majority will continue, as now.
to be at the mercy Of the minority. 1t can
pass no bills except such as the minority
consent to. Really then the fight is to take
the control of the Senate from the minority
where to all intents and purposes it now re-
sides and place it in the majority where it
belongs. The attitude of the Republican
Senators on the question will be watched
with interest

Whatever course the United States may pursue,
Canada can afford to look forward to 1t with equa-
nimity. Every attempt that American politicians
have made to cripple and iDjure the trade of this
country has only served to n AXE us more indie
pendent, self-reliant and prosperous. The un-
friendly act now meditated as the last of long
series, VIII have the same effect. One Of the best
known American representatives has stated that
II transit In bond across the United States were
stopped, 1t would make the cities OF Halifax and
st. John prosperous centres of new life and
wealth, and the 1ntercolonial would become
great Il unk line, its trains loaded with the COM
merce of central Canada. If the government are
wise they will prepare the way for the fulfllment
Of this prediction by increasing the carrying facil
ties of the roac.
There can be no doubt that the effect of
the stoppage Of transit in bond would be
just what is indicated above, namely the
building up Of Canadian ports at the expense
of our own. Exports to Europe which now

Apparently the Biddeford aldermen have
somewhat changed their attitude towards
the unnaturalized men whose names are
borne on the voting list of that city. A lit
tie while ago it was practically announced
that they would take no action In regard to
them, which was about equivalent to saying
that they would let the names remain in
spite of the decision of the Supreme Court
Now, however. the Biddeford Standard says
the aldermen twill revise and correct the
voting lists of the different wards: in accord
ance with the most rigid legal requirements"
The constitution of Maine forbids any man
who is not citizen Of the United States to
vote. The Supreme Court has decided that
certain men whose names are borne upon
the Biddeford voting list are not citizens of
the United States, and therefore not voters
Revision Of these lists in accordance with
the most rigid legal requirements must re-
suit In the removal of these names. unless
previous to such revision some higher tribu-
nal than the Supreme Court of Maine de-
cides that the men in question are citizens
of the United States. 1t is a reasonable in
ference-indeed it seems to be an inevitable
inference this declaration of the Stan.

Bill Nye Discourses About Puffs.

The newspaper puff is something
that makes men feel bad if they dOn't
get. The groundwork of an ordinary
newspaper puff consists of moral
character and good bank account!
Writing newspaper puff1 is like mix
ing sherry cObIers and mint juleiis all
through the summer months for rus'
toners aud qupnching your Own
thirst with rainwater. Sometimes Il
man is looking for puff and don't
get il, then he says the paper Is g0iIf%
down hill. and that it is in the hands
of a monopoly, and he would step
subscribing if he did not have to l'ay
his hil! first. Writing newspaper
puff is like taking the photograph Tf
a homely baby. If the photograph
does not represent the child with
wings and haIos and harDs, it shows
that the artist does not understand
his business. So il is with the fiews-
paper puf-if the puff doesn't stand
out like a bold and fearless expo
uent of truth and morality it shows
the putfer doesn't understand human
nature. 1t is more fun to see mad
read a puff of himself than to see 4
man slip on an orange peel. The
narrownindpd man reads il oyer
seven or eight times and then goes
round to the different places where
the paper is taken and steals what
ne can. the kind hearted man goes
home and reads it To his wife amt

Five thousand Lepers.

The Paris Dix-Neuvieme Steele pub
fishes information received by private
letters from New Caledonia which is
calculated to cause some anxiety. 1t ap-
pears that leprosy is spreading in New
Caledonia i'll a most alarming manner.
OF 10000 Kanakas no fewer than 5000
are described as suffering from the ter
rible disease. Till quite recently the
public authorities had taken no meas
ures to prevent it from spreading; but
now two subordinate colonies have been
created-one on Goat Island, in Dumbea
bay, and the other in Canada, at a spot
known as the Pic DIES Morris. Every in
habitant recognized as a leper by the
medical commission is to be confined in
one of these leper colonies. The cores

of the great efforts of his life. The cease
