There appears to be trouble ahead for the
Dominion government, and perhaps for the
English home government, In the Province
Of Quebec Some time ago royal commits
sion was appointed to investigate the
charges of corruption made against Mr.. Mer-
cier. the premier of that province, and his
ministers. The commission is now In ses-
sion, and the evidence adduced is said to be
very damaging to Mr.. Mercier. An unfavor-
able report by the commission would be fol-
lowed by the dismissal of the ministry by
the Lieutenant Governor. Should this come
about there is reason to believe that serious
trouble will follow. Mr. Mercler's news
paper organ has already begun to pave the
way for an agitation in favor of annexation
to the United States, and If MERCER is de-
posed 1t is understood that he will head the
movement. Judging from the iutterances Of
his paper MERCER is ready to burn his bridges
behind him, and begin an open and unsparing
agitation against British rule. Already his
newspaper is handling Lord Stanley without
gloves, accusing him of being party to
shameful intrigue" and of allowing an
infamy to be perpetrated without protesting.
1t is not probable, however. that Mercier
would be able to lead Quebec into secession
II he should undertake to. With an adverse
report against him from the royal commits
sion his influence. which is great today,
would be very much lessened. The respec.
table people Of Qcebec would hardly rally to
the standard of convicted "boodler," even
were ne advocating popular measure. Fur.
thermore 1t Is very much to be doubted IL ar
annexation agitation would be OF that kind
The province Of Quebec is peopled chiefly
with French Canadians, with whom the in
fuence of the Roman Catholic priesthoo'
Is very great. The Roman Catholic priest
hood do not desire annexation to the Unitet
States, for the very good reason that they
could never enjoy under our form Of govern
ment the power and privileges which the.
now possess. Their political power is nov
very considerable; in the United States II
would be very slight. Hence their entir,
influence would be thrown against the an
nexation propaganda, and that influence In
all probability would be sufficient to defeat
1t. Mercier no doubt can greatly stir up the
province by the programme his newspaper
foreshadows, but that he can lead the prov
ince into secession movement is not at all
probable.

Free raw material for the manufacturer

Free raw material for the manufacturer
with protection for his finished products
would undoubtedly enure greatly to the man
ufacturer's benefit. Butevery manufacturer
must see that no such arrangement could
long continue. Protection must exist as a
system by which all are benefited, directly
or Indirectly, or 1t cannot exist at all. To
deprive the miner and the farmer of pro-
lection and confer it upon the manufacturer
is to strike death blow to the system. The
free trader understands that perfectly well
and when he cajoles manufacturer into ad-
vocating free raw materials he has gained as
much for his theory as If he had converted
him to free trade pure and simple. Indeed
he has gained more.

The Maine Farmer says those interested In
progressive agriculture will be glad to learn
that the Eastern Maine fair has thus early
secured the services of balloonist and para
chute jumper for next seasons exhibition.
Balloons and parachutes are not directly In
the agricultural line. but they are about as
much so as trotting horses. Both Of them
are for the purpose Of drawing crowd tt
help pay the bills. and as between the two
the balloon has this to recommend 1t that II
does not incite to gambling. We suppose
that the fine cattle and the big squashes
ought to be sufficient to draw people to the
fair. but experience has proved that they
are not, and SO something must be added or
the show will soon become bankrupt. Why
isn't balloon ascension as good as any
thing?

We extend cordial Invitation to the Argus to
Join In the discussion. The question is this: In
what way shall the new voting list which the new
law provides for be made up? Shall the old list
be taken as basis and be corrected by the Board
obtaining its Information in any way 1t sees ft,
shall house to house canvass be made under the
auspices Of the Board or shall citizens be invited
to appear before the Board in person and regis
ter the penalty for neglect being loss of the yot
ing privilege?-PREss
We incline to favor the last method of pro-
cedure, as being, all things considered the
best and fairest to all voters, and involving
the least expense to the taxpayers. 1t is,
the larger cities In the country, and its con-
tinuance is an indication that method Civ
ing more general satisfaction has not yet
been devised
There appears to be then substantial con-
currence on the part of the two parties that
the personal registration plan is on the
whole the best. That plan has been adopt
ed, SO there is no occasion for anybody to
shout fraud.

Congressman Mills should inform his
Massachusetts, hearers why the tariff bill
which was prepared under his auspices as
chairman of the ways and means committee,
did not remove the duty on sugar. Sugar is
one of the necessaries Of life. yet Mills, not
withstanding be poses as the champion Of
the dear people. left considerable duty on
that article, the effect Of which was to in
crease its price to every consumer.

The chances Of getting any measure of as
sistance to our shipping through the next
House of Representatives are of course ex-
ceedingly small. The majority Of that
House will be composed Of men who are
opposed to the protective policy in all things,
and who would repeal the present protective
tariff If the Senate and President did not
stand in the way. 1t can hardly be ex-
pected, therefore, that they will take step
in the line of the protective policy. such as a
measure of assistance by system Of boun-
ties to our shipping would be. 1t does not
follow, however, that the conference Of
shipping men at Bath, is useless. Their
opinions and their arguments may not, and
probably will not. have the slightest infiu-
ence upon the Democratic majority in the
next House, but they will serve to keep pub
lie attention directed to the subject and to
impress upon the people the. justice and the
necessity-if our shipping is ever to be re-
vived-of some governmental assistance.

Do not throw it away, nor give it
away, unless we'll bestowed-for, after
all, it is ''only cold coffee" and not ap-
preciated. Better drink it yourself,
and buy for the benefciares. In de-
SPAR, in my younger days, I asked this
question once Of an experienced cook,
"What can be done with the coffee
that is always left from breakfast,
measure closely as we may, and especi-
all from entertainments, public and
private?" "Why drink and enjoy it
only, in warming it over, be sure not to
boil It."
And therein lay the secret-to get 1t
very hot, but not to let it boil. To me
it was revelation, indeed; but since
then I have learned a better way still.
Tell IL not in Gath-but in the privacy
Of home life we Danish the silver pot
and use one Of tin, kept bright and
sweet, well dried on the stove, aud well
heated before using again, always and
every time. AS soon as the pot is re-
moved from the table drain what re-
mains into q glass Jar with I'D, wnlch
is kept just for this purpose. If coffee
has been prepared for four or five peo-
pie pour three-fourths of pint or one
pint of water on the grounds, and boil
up well. Turn this also into the jar.
Now, when enough cold coffee is gath
cred 10 make it worth while, quart
for five or six cups, put in the pot one
heaping tablespoonful Of freshly
ground coffee and a crushed egg-shell.
(Save your egg-shells religiOusly, every
one.) Boil FIVE minutes after boiling
has begun. Boiling in this case does
no harm, if not prolonged. Served with

BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 1O.-ls Is
still an open question among those WIN
think themselves in a position to know
whether James G. Blaine will return TO
his duties at Washington in the 1all OF
whether he he has come to Bar Harbor
to die.
There are intelligent people here VINO
argue by the hour that this Distinguish
ed American is toiling into his grave
dragged thither by fatal combination
of nervous prostratiOn, paralysis anu
Bright's disease of the kidneys.
There are others whose opinions
would seem to carry equal weight OF
precisely the contrary opinion, ana VINO
maintain with equal zeal that Mr..
Blaine is suffering from nothing more
serious than overtaxation OF Drain anu
nerves during the past winter.
In the face OF such point blank con-
tradictions it is hard to know just what
to believe. l think, however, that am
safe in making these TWO statements
First, that Mr.. Blaine is by no means
the man he was year ago and that the
habttues of Bar Harbor are shocked at
the change; second, that if MIR. Blame
is really dying from whatever cause ne
is dying very gamely and is making
such fight against the grim monster
As only a man Of his iron will c0uld
make.
TO sum up the situation, then, MIR.
Blaine may be wreck on priOTt
grounds, but he may be one OF that
particular kind of wrecks which laugh
scientific deductions in the face and re-
fuse to sink. What can you expect OF
a ''dying man" VINO, rain or shine, IN,

HOW BLAINE APPEARS.
had a good look at the Secretary OF
State this afternoon at his Bar Harbor
home-the much painted and quantity
gabled Stanwood. He was in brown
study, walking with slow stride up and
down favorite piazza, which looks
down on Frenchman's Bay. lie wore
soft hat pulled down over his head,
while q black coat with long tails
Tapped about his legs. lie was dressed
for comfort and nothing else.
But dress is trivial detail. What
struck me was the expression Of his
face-pallid white in frame of silver
hair and beard. His eyes shone bright
as OF yore, but they shone with fever
ish, unhealthy lustre, and there was in
their look something OF mental dis
quietude, a kind of mate pleading with
destiny whose shadowy form he seemed
to see far away where his glance
touched the horizon. A wise man
indeed were he who could read
BIaine's thought at such moment,
but fool could say they were I'M
happy.
People who have known Mr.. Blaine
for years are impressed in a similar way
by the difference in his manner ana
expression. You cannot indicate pre-
ciSely in lines and adjectives what that
difference is. You can not indicate the
difference between sunrise and sunset
but you know what the difference is
there. You feel it.
