THE New York World, discussing the
silver question and calling attention to the
sharp division of sentiment on the sub
ject in the democratic party, says with
great force and pertinency:
How can such question be made a
political issue by great party? Neither
side of it can be affirmed as a guiding
principle by either of the existing parties.
1t would be especially absurd for party
engaged in a battle for popular rights,
against extraordinary and unjust taxation,
outrageous extravaganza and the reintro-
duction Of force in popular elections 70
pause, after the magnificent and over
whelming triumph OF 1880, to engage in a
doctrinaire discussion about the relative
values of metals while its astute enemy
stole into its rear to strike blow for pro-
lection. The democratic party is camping
on the ground won in 1890. 1t has no
time and should have no inclination to
shift its position for 1892.

Harmony in Maine.

The republican brethren are having a
pleasant time among themselves in Maine,
where strong fight is being made to pre-
vent the return to congress of both BoU-
TELLE and MrLLIKEN. Both are in disfavor
for supporting the claims of Chicago for
the worlds fair as against New York, and
BoUTELLE has made enemies by opposing
the Australian ballot law. MILLIKEN is
devoting his attention chiefly to placating
the temperance people. In the campaign
of 1890 ne and Mr.. BLAINE were advertised

THE Frankfort Crescent says i:

Warden FRENCH of the prison north is
making a splendid showing in the man
agement of that institution. His annual
report will show a net earning of $4,000
over and above expenses. The morale of
the prison was never better. Public
Office" with Warden FRENCH, lis public
trust"
The South Bend Times reproduces the
above deserved compliment to worthy
official, and adds;
The Times heartily indorses the above.
Warden FRENCH is giving his entire time
and attention to the management of the
northern prison. Being man of supe-
sior intelligence and of sterling integrity,
he takes natural pride in improving the
management of the prison whenever and
wherever there Is an opportunity for so
doing The Times heartily congratulates
him on the success that has attended his
efforts so far.

THE continuing popularity Of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" is shown in that an intended
new edition OF 100000 copies has been in
creased to 100000 on account of the pros
pective demand. This is probably an
advertising dodge, but as nearly ell the
newspapers in the country have been
taken in by it we pay tribute to the
genius of the publishers by giving it cir

In his speech at Lincoln, Neb., Governor
BoIEs declared that the cause of demo.
cratic victory in Iowa was the steady
growth Of the party on two propositions:
l. Assertion of the fundamental prin-
ciple OF personal liberty invaded by the
republican party in procuring and seeking
to maintain prohibitory liquor laws.
,. Revolt against excessive tariff taxa

to speak Watateryille. Colby university
is located at this town. and Prof ALBION
w. SMALL, the president of the university,
was induced to preside over the meeting.
This was a rather unfortunate move, for
after the meeting Prof SMALL distributed
literally through the district the following
circular:
WATERvHLE, Me-, Sept. Z, 1890.
Ny Dear Sir and Brother:
At the Blaine rally in Waterviile on
Friday last SETH l. MILLIKEN, our candi-
date for congress, who was advertised to
speak, was so drunk that l begged the
other speakers 10 talk against time and
introduced Mr.. LODGE, who was not on
the program. instead of Mr.. MILLIKEN.
While Mr.. LODGE was talking the man
ayers OF the meeting sent a representative
TO the platform aud led Mr.. MILLIKEN
away to place of safety.
The republican managers insisted on
renominating MILLIKEN, although they
knew his habits, and in spite OF the pro-
tests OF many who refuse to support such
q man.
A great many of the stanchest repub-
licans in Waterville will scratch his name
from the ballots, as they believe it would
in TIE end lie the most wholesome step to
defeat him and teach our political man
ayers that they must give us decent can
didates or we shall repudiate them.
ALBION w. SMALL.
The temperance people now oppose
him and the probabilities are that Gov
ernor BURLEIGH, who is an open candi-
date, will be nominated in his place.

Gently. 81 recall reading prediction"
he continued, that between the years
1885 and 1895 such an epidemic, II you can
call It that, would prevail owing to the
planetary influences, and the facts seem
to bear II out, whether the prediction
was based on supposititious grounds or as
q result Of astronomical research. His.

France so prevalent was the idea OF self
destruction that the government issued &
decree that after certain time the body
Of any man or woman guilty OF taking

edict was that thereafter the suicidal

from this cause were few and far between.

enacted In America. "-Baltimore Herald.
