The registration bill before the legislature
deserves success for the enemies it has
made. When a merchant is threatened with
boycott unless his brother votes against
certain measure pending before him as
member of the legislature, that fact itself con-
stitutes pretty good evidence that the meas
ure is likely to produce the effect intended.
That, sort of tactics was employed by the
Southern Democrats to defeat the elections
bill, and the same kind Of maneuvre is now
resorted to by the Biddeford Democrats to
defeat the registration bill. To the mind of
any reasonable man it is proof positive that
the Biddeford Democracy fear to submit the
voting list of that city to board that will
not do their bidding-a fear which could not
exist had they not been accustomed to ma
nipulate that list for partisan ends.

SOUTHWEST IAEBoR, June IS The first
day OF sea life for the members Of the
expedition has passed and the men now
feei as salt as herring. Leaving Rockland
/ narbor about 40 on the evening of the
| 2'th we made the tour of North Haven IN
Fox Island ThorOughfare where we an
chored for the night Many were the Jokes
played upon the freshmen of the eXpedi-
ton by those who called themselves the
OLD salts but no lasting enmities were pro
duced and no friendships permanently
fractured. Sunday morning we got under
way about 10 30, and with a heavy north
east wind sailed from Penobscot Bay
During the afternoon the blow was raised
TO gale and the captain not desiring To
make a hospital of his vessel the first day
out decided to put into Southwest Harbor
for the night. Tomorrow we shall sail
for Halifax which will be the next stop
ping place on the trip. Mr.. Austin Cary,
Bowdoin 81, arrived in Rockland on the
80 train Saturday and as originally in
tended will be placed at the head of the
Grand River Expedition. The place of Mr..
bagley who was to have been one of the
Grand river party and who at the last
moment was unable to go will be filled by
Mr.. W. r. Smith, 80. Prof. Lee is very
much pleased with the two Rushton boats
in which the perilous ascent of Grand
river will be attempted. They are skill
fully made to combine strength with light
ness, and on account of their light weight
Mr.. Cary hopes bv a short carry to lessen
very much the difficulty of the way H.
stead of ascending Grand river the whole
of the distance against the very rapid cur
rent, Mr.. Cary's plan is to proceed up the
river something like one hundred miles,
and just before reaching the most difficult
part OF the river, the swift rapids, the
party will carry their boats and utensils
through the wilderness to the head waters
of the Grand river, distance of not over
ten miles. They will then proceed down
the river which by the and Of the current
will he very easy means of procedure.
In this way they will escape the perils
which have driven back all the previous
explorers but one, and will be able to ex-
piore the river above the falls, something
which no white discoyerer has yet at
tempted.
An amusing story is told at the expense
of Prof Lee during the short stay at
Rockland- Though SO years of age he has
the appearance of a much younger man.
In giving his order to one of the retail
dealers in Rockland he told the dealer to
send them to Prof. Lee, care of the Bow
doin expedition. Wishing to become ac-
quainted with SO illustrious family the |
dealer said: You are Prof Lees son, | |
suppose" "Well, not exactly" said the !
professor. II am Mr.. Lee himself" T,
well, by God!" said the dealer ia aston /
Ishment.

An Eye to the Future.

The Portland Ereaiag EsPrS OF "a re-
cent date makes suggestions in an editori-
al article, which are eminently worthy of
adoption. Let the Republicans in Han
cock county do something of this kind and
do it ecasonably, and its good effects will
manifest themselves, greatly TO the advan-
tage OF the Republican party in the politl-
cal campaign of 1892. The following is
from the article in question:
The Republicans Of New York and Ohio
appear to he fully alive to the assistance
which club organizations can render in the
approaching campaigns in those States,
aud are taking vigorous measures 10 en-
thuse existing clubs and TO form new ones.
The political battles to be fought in those
two great States this wear will have more
than the usual significance attaching To
party contests in OF years. The conduct
ana result Of the struggle in each will be
watched with interest by the country at
large for signs of change since the polit
zeal landslide Of last fall, and for their pos
sihle bearing upon lN92.
Eyeryw here it j. understood that the
magnificent club uprising of the RepUb-
lean party in ls>s to which the way was
pwnneariy two years before by the organ
llation in this city Of the Portland Club
in the summer Of lsSG. contributed SO ma
terlally 10 the election of President Harrl-
soc. that it was the siHe Iad non of that
campaign. The Democrats were quick to
