W. H. Ballou, who has just returned
from a trip to Boston and Maine. relates
that while in Portland he heard that the
entire Maine sea coast has been bought up
by cottagers or spectators in summer re-
sorts. There is no good building lot Oh
the Maine coast to-day" said he, ''that
can be purchased for what it is really
worth, because what lots are not owned
by persons who intend to build on them,
are in the hands of real estate boomers,
who are hosting up the prices steadily"
New York Press.
While there is some truth. no doubt. in
the above statement, we think that Mr..
Ballou would have no difficulty in securing
desirable cottage lot, OF any number of
them on the coast of Maine. 1t is unfor-
tunate that such report should 60 abroad,
and if it originated with spectators they
should realize that it must tend to defeat
their object. Maine has too many miles
ot sea-coast. too many picturesque outly-
ing islands. to allow of a monopoly vi her
summer attractions and her doors will
continue TO stand open to the pleasure and
health seekers from the South and West.

About Ourselves.

The first issue of the new journal fell
lars. and we think the reader will note an
improvement in the present number. The
first impression from new type is never so
good as those which follow, and we did
not have our press adjusted so as to pro-
duce the best results. The impression
this week is clearer and more uniform,
and it is safe to say that it will be still
further improved. The numbering and
dating of the pages, and the index on the
first page, will no doubt be appreciated
The space taken up last week by the
review of the past year, the history of
the Journal, etc, prevented us from fol-
lowing our plan for the makeup and We
think that the present number will be
found more satisfactory in this respect
A word as to the heading. The letters
in the recent heading were too large to
look well on a page of the present size,
and after an inspection of the specimen
there was nothing better than the fac
simile OF the Journals old-time heading,
which we have adopted. 1t was thought.
too. that many of the older readers of the
journal would recognize it, and be pleased
with our choice. In this we have not been
disappointed. Many have expressed theil
pleasure at seeing the old heading again,
while some. it is only fair to say, have dis
approved. 1t will remain for the present
but if something different is called for il
will be provided We do not propose tc
rest content with present improvements.

The political Prohibitionists of Massa-
chusetts are in peck of trouble. They
are charged with receiving financial aid
from the Democrats during the last cam
paign, and seem unable to disprove the as
sertion. Rev. Sam Small was paid about
s. 600 for his services, and 81, 800 were re-
ceived from an unknown source. Not
withstanding, they have debt of 500 or
$500 as reminder of the campaign. The
Boston Journal says: 'Evidently the
Prohibitionists spent about fifty times as
much. in proportion to the vote cast, as
was spent by any other political party in
Massachusetts last year.

TO YOUR TENTS. OH. ISRAEL.

From the Chicago Sentinel.
The following Washington dispatch of
February 10, to the Chicago Herald, the
leading Democratic paper of the north
west, should be read by every Peoples
party man till he has 1t by heart.
That the Republican party has no hope
for success next November is evidenced
by the withdrawal of Blaine from the
presidential race. Blaine is too shrewd a
politician to "Stand in the gap" In the
face Of certain defeat.
That the Democrats are doomed to de-
feat is evidenced by the fact that "whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad" The only hope of success by the
Democrats has rested In their presumed
friendship for free and unlimited coinage
OF silver.
The cat, however, is out Of the bag.
The edict Of the leaders controlled by
Wall street, is that there shall be "no
free silver this term!"
So be 1t, gentlemen. And now "lsy on,
Mac Duff; and damned be he that first
cries, "Hold, enough!"
If there has heretofore been any lurk-
ing hope among honest Democrats who
demand free and unlimited silver coin
age, let them once and forever Danish the
hope.
Says the dispatch
WASHINGTON, February 1O.-No free silver
bill will pass the House at this session Of
Congress. "The Democratic party is not 60
ing to surrender the presidency for a free
silver bill" This remark was made to-day
By Democratic leader who is in position

control party forces. The remark was elic-
tied by the report to the House by Mr.. Bland
TO his free coinage bill, which the commit
tee on coinage, weights and measures agreed
to this morning, and by the statements of
the free silver leaders that they we're going
to pass the bill within three weeks.
People might suppose that inasmuch
as the House committee has reported the
bill 1t will come up for action and be
voted upon favOrsbIy by the Democratic

to say that three Democratic Senators who
have been charged with manipulating the
party on the sreaksrship and other Ques-
tions intend, if possible, TO manipulate the
Democratic House Of Representatives 30 as
to save the party from free silver. They
believe that che passage of free silver bin
through the House would make next to inn
possible the election of q Democratic pFesi-
dent next November, and they are deter
mined that il shall not be done. In this
they are being assisted by alarge number Of
Democratic Representatives and Senators,
without reference to the divisions Of the
party on questions Of speakership or presi-
Dental nomination.
And who are these Democratic Sem
ators who are going to upset Stree sill
verY"
Who are these minions Of Wall street
money mongers, who are bound at all
hazards to maintain Shylock'S "gold
standards" Here they are. The dispatch
names them In the following sentence:
The truth is, that all the leading and
brainy men Of the party, in both branches
Of Congress, perceive the danger that turks
in free silver and, with skill and courage
they are endeavOring to stem the tide Of
currency tinkering which set in with the
election of large number Of famer Repre-
sentatlves to the present House. In this
work Senators BriCe, German and Hill are
leading, but they are supported by Speaker
Crisp, Chairman Springer, Mr.. Mills, and
such Democratic Senators as Carlisle, Vest,
Palmer and Villas.
"All the leading and brainy men"
God save the mark
"With skill and courage"
With dupliClty, fraud and corruption,
rather.
And what do you think Of this, farm
ers? The currency tinkerIng which set

And now comes another rich dose.
For weeks Congress has been discussing
the rules" Costing millions Of dollars
to the people-for time wasted and ex-
penseS incurred.
Day after day, and week after week,
the time Of the peoples Representatives
has been spent in useless, weary, good
for nothing "gab" about "rules."
Why? Again listen. And when you
read, remember that It is the statement
of leading Democratic organ. The dis
patch says;
The policy Of delay and inaction which
seems TO rule the proceedings Of the House
is now explained. It is for the express pur-
pose Of heading of the free silver move
ment. Every day that passes adds TO the
strength of the anti silver element Us man
after man comes to his senses and perceives
that il is the part Of wisdom TO abandon
such dangerous experiment. There is no

down TO The serious business Of the session,
il will be on the tariff and not on the cur
renCy.
Ye godsl Was there ever such brazen
lmpudenceH
Was there ever such a display of ras-
callty?
Was there eversuch damnable triflng
with the will Of the peopleH
This "delay and lnaction" has been for
the cypress purpose of giving Wall street
time to get in its work!
"Man after man comes to his senses"
In other words, "man after man" IL
bought up, bribed and bulEdozed into
betraylng his constituents.
Bought up and brlbed TO betray the
sacred cause of long suffering peOplel
And, by and by, when time enough has
been wasted In these ''trlvial matters"
the "tGriG bills" are TO be spruug.-and
then the sham battle will be fought over
again to the end of the session!
The committee on rules ('in sympathy
with the plan Of delay') will fix things
all right, 30 that the sand bsggers can
carry out their infamous scheme.
The following, and closing paragraph,
shows how the dust ls going to be thrown
in the eyes Of the people;
The present plan of the leaders is not to
choke off the silver question entirely and
prevent It's consideration. That would be
unfair and dangerous, because il would
rouse the passions Of the men who hon.
estly believe in free coinage. The silver
bill will in time be taken up, but not until
the leaders Of the party are satisfied they
can defeat it, Before a vote is reached
there will be joint caucus Of the Demo-
cratic members of the Senate and House,
and prominent Democrats Of both Houses
will warn their party friends from the south
and west that free silver is the road TO de-
feat. They will be warned that free silver
means an overturning Of the Democratic

House and presidency Republican, force
bill will follow, as sure as fate. Leaders
who are giving their time and their energies
to the effort to save the party from free
SILVER legislation declare they are sure of
success, and that no Bland bill will pass the
House this session.
OF course there Is TO be discussion Of
the silver bill! Certainly The members
who come from free silver districts must
be given an opportunity to make "red-
hot" silver speeches, so that they can
have them printed and distributed among
their constituents. Then they will go
home and say TO their dupes: ~ did all
I could TO free silver! / lifted up my
voice and made myself heard-but we
were outvoted. But we have got things
In such a shape that merit session az you

And then the poor deluded asses Of
people will throw up their hats and hur-
rah for the "next session."
"Try them just once morep All, but
there are some people who are no longer
such asses as to be longer deceived. And
their votes will be heard from next No
