HOLLIS, Sept. s.
Mrs. Kate Douglass Wiggin, the charming
young authoress, has recently revisited the
scenes Of her early years at Salmon Falls
village, Maine, where she has gladdened the
circle of old neighbOrs and friends with her
engaging presence, while they, in turn, have
made her thrice welcome and honored
guest in their hearts and homes.
at one Of these pleasant reunions at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Marshall. she
delighted all, not only with the charms Of
her conversation, but musical talent as well.

and sweetness, quaint old Spanish, Mexic IN

The New York Sun strongly advocates the
selection of ex-senator Reagan to succeed
Mr.. W. L. Bragg on the Interstate COM
merce commission because his appointment
would in very short time bring about the
adjustment Of the commission. The Sun
credits him with practically undoing the
railroad commission of Texas. by awakening
the people to the actual mischief that such
body can do, and it thinks his presence on
the national commission would produce like
results to that institution.

The Gardiner Journal commenting On the
fact that the FreepOrt shoe factory has been
direct means Of compelling the selectmen
of the town to raise the wages of the teach
ers in the public schools say;
The ordinary school committee man won't be
likely to pay ten dollars week for the same
talent he can get for eight or six. When the fac.
tory offers superior inducements of course the
wages go up, but we do not see that the wages
being increased would improve the quality of the
teaching of the same teacher.
1t seems to us that teacher or anybody
else who is inadequately paid is not likely
to do SO good work as one who is receiving
fair compensation. And we think that ex-
perience will show that such is the case
Perhaps he ought to, but human nature is
very likely to assert itself.

The Hon. E. F. Jones, now Lieutenant
Governor Of New York, who has the temerlty
to aspire to the Democratic candidacy for the
goyernorship, has taken occasion to pub
llcly inform the Democracy Of that State
that If he is ignored by the Democratic party
In the coming convention his party friends
VIII put movement on foot that will bode
no good to the Democratic party of New
York State Precisely what kind of move
ment 1t will be Mr.. Jones does not indicate,
but the intimation clearly is that his friends
will Immediately arm themselves with knives
and scalp the ticket on election day. How
dangerous person Mr.. Jones is depends
upon the number of his friends who can be
relied upon to indulge in the scalping process,
but that he is very mad and much dis
gusted person there is no doubt.

The conspicuous figures in the Peoples
Party convention at Lewiston will be recog-
nized as the old time leaders of the Green
back party in Maine when that party was
hourishiDg. Their adhesion to the Peoples
Party is natural enough, for the principles
OF that party are practically identical with
the principles of the Greenback party. The
most conspicuous one OF both of them is that
the government has by its fiat the power to
make something out Of nothing. The Green
hackers undertook to make rather a bigger
something out Of nothing than the Peoples
Party does at present, but in course of
time the latter. If 1t has good luck, will
no doubt equal the aspirations of the
former. The chances are, however, all
against the Peoples Party making any
progress in this State. The condi-
lions are altogether different now from what
they were when the Greenback party was
born. Then the destruction caused by the
war was beginning to be seriously felt, the
value OF property which had been blown up
sy deprecated currency was constantly
thinking, and men who had fattered them
selves that they were well to do were finding
out that they had been measuring alues by
false standard, and SO deceiving them
selves. The result of these things was a
general prevalence of unrest. The people
were sick and consequently in a condition TO
eagerly seize upon any nostrum which held
out the hope Of recovery without giving
much consideration to the hature of the
remedy or the basis Of its PROMISES. No
such conditions exist now. We have recoy-
cred from the effects Of the war. The people
are fairly prosperous; the farmers are Iais-
ing good crops and getting fair Prices for
them; the value of property is net declining.
The people may not be as prosperous as they
would like-people seldom are-but they are
too prosperous to swallow quack nostrums
without ascertaining what they are. Scion
Chase in 1879 was able to rally thousands
beneath his fiat money standard; today it
excites little feeling but derlsion, The PEG
pies Party will make hardly ripple upon
the sea of next years politics in Maine.

The Eva Mann dramatic combination has
gone to smash, and with 1t. it is to be hoped,
has gone to smash the notion, which, 1t Is to
be regretted. has prevailed somewhat ex-
tensively among managers, that the public

heroine Of scandal.

1t looks very much as If Mr.. Allen would
be the next Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts Mr.. Crapo's cam
paigD has been handicapped by his own in
difference and perhaps also by the fact that
some of the assistant Democratic papers
have somewhat ofIiciOusly recommended
The Portland daily press., 1891-09-10

The Farmers Alliance of Alabama and
the Democratic newspapers Of that state are
not on terms of harmony. The Alliance wants
to nominate for one Capt Kolb. partly be-
cause Capt KOlb wants to be nominated and
partly because he is a good Alliance man be-
lieving In the Ocala platform, sub-.reasury
scheme and all, and they want the Demo-
cratic party to help elect him governor.
This the Democratic newspapers do not
propose to allow If they can prevent it, so
they have trained their guns on Kolb and are
bombarding him furiously. One of them
says he is no Democrat, that he has been ac-
c..rss-~se oeculation while in office, that he
% 1osled people, that he is without edu-
Co., auSd murders the Kings English, and
more than all, that he represents a secret
organization with negroes in it. This is all
very bad bat it is no worse than was said
about Tillman whom the South Carolina
Alliance brought forward and whom the
Democrats were campellsed to accept. and so
Capt. K0lb need not despair.
