THE ELECTION TODAY.

The issues involved in the election to-
day are national, State and local. Four
congressman are to be chosen, "a governor,
members of the legislature and county
officers. In the election of congressman
of course national issues are directly in
volyed; and the national issues most
prominent in this campaign are protec-
ton, reciprocity and sound currency.
The Republican congressional candidates
are in favor of all these three things.
The Democrats are certainly opposed to
protection, Indifferent to reciprocity,
and on the currency question, if they
fairly represent the opinions of their
party, they are probably facing both ways.
The question of protection, as illustrated
by the Mckinley bill, has been the chief
subject of discussion as far as national
questions are concerned, and that will
be more influential on the result than any
other national question. The reduction
of the normal majority of any of the Re-
publican candidates for Congress will be
interpreted as indicating that the protec-
ton sentiment of Maine is less strong
than it has been, and of course will give
encouragement to the national Democ-
racy in their campaign for the Presi-
dency. Every Republican should bear
this in mind and not allow feeling that
his candidate is certain to be elected any
way to keep him from going to the polls,
The size of the majority is important
this year.
The most prominent state issue sub
mitted to the voters is that raised by the
Democratic plank in favor of the resub-
mission of the prohibitory amendment.
Yet it may be truthfully said that the
Democrats have not the slightest expec-
tation of carrying the majority of the
legislature or the governorship on this
plank. They know perfectly well
that the sentiment of the country is over
| whelmingly for prohibition. Their idea
The Portland daily press., 1892-09-12

in putting this plank in their platform.
was to capture some representatives In
the cities and large towns where the
prohibition sentiment is less strong, and
more especially to elect here and there
sheriff or county attorney. That this
was their real purpose in adopting this
resolution has been made evident by
their conduct of the campaign. Repub-
licans who do not like prohibition will
get no nearer local option by voting the
Democratic ticket. All they will accom-
plish is to elect here and there Demo
cratic representative or a Democratic
sheriff. The Democrats have attempted
to arraign the Republicans for extrava-
gance in their administration of the state
government, but their efforts have met
with little success and that issue will not
cut much of figure in the election.
The local issues are involved in the
county offices. For the most part they
are political, that's to say the question as
to the most of the county offices is
whether the county offices shall be adj
ministered by men selected by the Re
publican party or men selected by the
Democratic party. Of course the char
acter and ability of the candidates are in
issue, but the general good character of
all is admitted. Most of the Republican
Candidates, however, have been tested in
the offices for which they have been
nominated, and found capable and fit
and in this respect certainly the advant-
age is with them. In the matter of
sheriff and to less exteut as to county
attorney the political question is subor-
dinate, and ought to be, to much
broader and more important question.
Everybody knows that the campaign
against Mr.. Cram has been made entirely
on the ground that he ought to be
beaten because he has vigorously en-
forced all the laws. And everybody
knows also that the campaign for Mr.,
SWEET has been placed entirely on the
ground that he will not vigorously en-
force all the laws. The question is
therefore whether the voters of this
county are in favor of faithfulness on the
part of their officials or unfaithfulness.
Here are the issues which are
presented to the people today, and which
their vote will either settle or tend to.
On some of them honest men and good
citizens can disagree without any i'm
parchment of their intelligence or their
integrity But on the issue involved in
the election of sheriff it is difficult to see
how there can be two opinions among
men who have the welfare of the public
at heart. The lesson which will be
taught by the defeat of Mr.. Cram and
the election of Mr. SWEET will be an ex-
ceedingly demoralizing one and its effect
will be far reaching for mischief.

The reduction of the majority of the
Hon. Thomas B. Reed to small figures
would give great comfort, not only to
the local Democracy but to Democracy
all over the land. Mr.. Reed is one of
the most conspicuous of the leaders of
the national Republican party and the
eyes of the whole country will be fixed
upon his action today. A big majority
for Nh. Reed will help universally in the
national campaign.
Every interest in the district demands
the return of the Hon. Thomas B. Reed
by large majority. While he is our rep
resentative the wants and claims of the
people of the First district always
command respectful attention whether
the House be Republican or Democratic.

If politics could be eliminated from the
contest in the district and business con-
siderations made the only issue, Mr..
Reeds majority would be overwhelming,
simply for the reason that every voter of
intelligence, whether he be Republican
or Democrat, knows that he by reason of
his prominence, his wide influence and
his long experience can promote them
better than any other man who could be
selected.

Mr.. Edward c. Reynolds, who is the
Republican candidate for register of pro-
bate, has held the office for two years
past. 1t is only simple justice to say
that he has performed its duties in an ad-
mirable manner and has made a popular
and efficient officer. The public inter
ests demand his reelection.

The office of county attorney has to do
with the enforcement of the laws of the
state in this county. 1t is i'm
portant that it should be filled by a gen
tleman of high standing in the commu-
nifty, of sound legal attachments and abil-
ity to present the government side of
cases with force and clearness. Mr..
Charles A. True, the Republican candi-
date, admirably answers all these de-
mands. For four years past he has been
assistant county attorney, and has be-
come thoroughly familiar with the du-
ties of that Office and has demonstrated
his ability to perform them in most
satisfactory manner.

The senatorial ticket presented by the
Republicans of this county is an admir-
able one in every aspect. Mr.. Mallet
represented the county in the last legis-
lature where he did excellent service.
He has a wide acquaintance with the
business interests of the county and
state, and is deservedly popular with
all classes. Mr.. Seiders has served in
the House of Representatives with great
credit, is a lawyer Of prominence, and
his election will undoubtedly ensure to
Portland a representative on the Judicial
ry committee, which is one of the most
important committees of the legislature.
Mr.. Waterhouse is prominent citizen of
the largest manufacturing city in this
county, and will make an admirable rep
resentative of the manufacturing inter
ests. Mr.. Cook is citizen of one Of the
strictly agricultural towns of the
county and is familiar with the farmer s
wants and needs. No Republican can
afford to cut any name on the ticket.

torial ticket.

One of the most important Offices in
the county is that of Judge of Probate,
which has been held for many years past
by the Hon. Henry G. Peabody. The
duties of the Office, which are intricate,
and concern the most vital affairs of the
people were never more satisfactorily per-
formed than by Mr.. Peabody. His mind
is. of a judicial cast, and his manners are
exceedingly affable and gentlemanly. He
is an official whom the people of this
county cannot afford to lose.

The Office of county commissioner is
an important one, and demands man of
sound judgement, experience and upright
character. In MI. Walter B. Allen, the
Republicans have candidate who COM

and his conduct of town affairs was such
as to commend them to all the people
without distinction of party. He de-
serves the solid support of Republicans.

During our own war Governor An

chases of guns in England and when he
got them over here the United States did
not care to buy them. There they were.
When the trouble developed, some years
later, between Chill and Spain. these
guns became CHILEAN property. They
were carried out of Boston harbor prop
erly enough, but on the high seas met a
CHILEAN vessel and were paid for. They
reached Valparaiso and were set up for
defense. In use they developed habit
of bursting. and proved valuable aid
to the enemy A number OF them re-

trouble Americans might find them
selves with great guns from Massachu-
sets pointed at them. though what
would happen were the guns fired would
have to be determined by experience. =

itself to certain sportsmen residing In

ital way of killing time. The opening
run was a great success, for, after strik-
ing the line of passing and naturally
very perturbed traveller on the high
road, the hounds were with difficulty
stopped and transferred to that of the
legitimate quarry.
Travelling at tremendous pace, and
with music almost equal in volume to
the cry of a pack of foxhounds, they ran
all around Quorn village their owner,
regardless of snowdrifts, galloping IN

they came. The end of the run was

The votive pictures, yema, OF Japa-
nese temples are an outgrowth OF an old
custom In ancient times departed war
riors were honored by offerings OF sake
and rice placed before their tablets and
tombs AS the idea gained ground that
their spirits lowered around their graves
besides food a certain number Of spot
less white horses were provided in
which these spiritual worthless might
take recreation So it became the Gus
tom in wealthy Shinto temples to keep
one Of these sacred animals. There were
many shrines that could not afford to
buy white horse, so the next best
thing was to get picture of one Hence
the name ye-ma. picture horse, from ye
a picture, and una, horse
The use of the yema was first con
fined to the Shinto religion, but the Bud
dhists took kindly to the custom The
word yema has long lost its primitive
meaning, and has become a generic
name for every picture hung up IL

Movements are on foot lii various
quarters having for their object the
abatement Of the smoke and fog nui-
sance. The london fogs which de-
scend upon the town are bad enough,
but are made almost unbearable to the
healthiest and most robust people by
smoke. Some extraordinary facts were
elected at the interview granted on Sun
day by the lord mayor to deputation
from South Wales which wanted to in
troduce anthracite coal for house pur-
poses. 1t was shown that the coal was
largely used in Paris, Berlin and other
Continental and American cities which
enjoy an atmosphere absolutely pure
compared with Londons. The deputa-
ton held that anything tending to abate
the fog nuisance should be given fair
trial.
Sir John Puleston, who introduced the
deputation, said that there were 100000
houses in London and 100000 chin
neys. On a cold day about 10000 tons
of coal were consumed, emitting 4SO
tons of sulphur His argument was that
anthracite coal was cleaner and cheaper
if householders could only be made to
understand it. The mayor thought the
deputation made a clear case, not for
trade purposes, but for the public wei
fare, and promised his earnest support.
