ed that these parties are recreant to
their trust and are not leglslating for
their interests.
About nineteen years ago the
Democratic party at the bidding of
the people of this country ceased to
control the administration of affairs,
and the Republican party came into
power. Now, by what seems to
many tardy and to others a too
rapid revolution of the wheel of for
tune, the party displaced in 1860 by
the public verdict has again obtain
ed the control of both branches of
National Legislature. 1t will be
recorded as the fatal error of that
party that its restoration to power
was not signalized by speedy legis-
latlon for the relief of the people. Is
not allow, | pray you, an unneces-
sary sectional controversy to take
precedence of the real controversy
between the people and the money
power.
Inc Repubncan party has passed
under popular disfavor, and is re-
firing rightfully and rapidly from
supremacy in the country. The
good deeds and the badIdeeds of both
parties are alike recorded. I am
aware that precedents can be found
in their history to justify almost any
thing that is wicked and impoitic.
Let us not be controlled by their
precedents, but let us act for the
living present and do what we know
is right and for the interest of the
people. - Let us act as represen-
tatives of the whole people, and not
as politicians nor for the rings and
ciques of the country.

young reader to what is most interesting
and delightful in American history, has
been projected by the Appletons. The
first volume, properly enough from a.
chronological and literary standpoint, as
well as that of immediate interest, is de-
voted to Columbus. Written by Eliza
beth Eggleston Seelye and illustrated by
allegro Eggleston, daughters of the ed
itor, and women already favorably known
to the public by good work in their re-
spective departments of art, it is pre-
sumably edited with the solicitude that
parental fondEess would dictate, though
Dr. Eggleston desires it understood that
his function has been merely editorial
that, however, often means much; some
times everything. The volume, profess
ing to convey nothing new and written
from conservative standpoint, is pic
turesque and animated narrative of the
adventures of the great discoverer, and
the illustrations are pertinent Were
any criticism to be made it would be that
the book is perhaps too much written
down to the assumed incapacity of
young people. Children are more capa.
BILE in matters of reading than we are apt
to give them credit for. 1t is to be re-
GREETED, too, that what the editor calls
1.-THE discredited. myths used by the old
school of Biographies have been en-
tirely discarded; for they are parts OF
the Columbus tradition, and should be
repeated if only to be discredited. We
could with as much reason remand to
oblivion the stories of William Tell or of
COTE the regicide, or attempt to write
Roman history with the myth of Romu-
lus left out. New York: D. Appleton &
Co.; Portland: Loring, Short C Har-
mon.)
The two latest pamphlets in those stud
les in applied sociology. Man and the
State, which the Appletonss are publish
ing, are Moral Question in Politics, by
the Rev. John C. Kimball, and The In
dependent in Politics, by the Hon. John
A. Taylor-both interesting and sugges-
tive discussions of subjects, one of high,
the other of immediate interest. The
comment which followed the reading of
these papers before the Ethical Associa-
ton, and which is subjoined, adds con
siderably to the value of the pamphlets.

While the Massachusetts Democratic
managers were ready and anxious to pit
the Hon. William E. Russell, man with
great aptitude for public speaking and
debate, and of long experience in both,
against Mr.. Halle, who claimed neither
special aptitude nor experience in either,
when joint debate was proposed be-
tween Mr.. Mccall and the Hon. John F.
Andrew, they found abundant reasons
why it should not come off. Mr.. An
drew was out of health, the campaign
was nearly closed, and the questions had
been thoroughly discussed-all these
and other reasons why a joint debate be-
tween these parties would not be proper
or profitable. The truth is that the
Massachusetts Democratic managers
approve of joint debates only when there
are great odds in their favor. When the
conditions are about even, or the advan-
tage on the other side, they have no in
terest in such thing.

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

While the meaning of the facts of
the New York registration admits
of much latitude of Interpretation
the facts themselves admit of no
dispute. The Democrats themselves
acknowledge that the registration of
New York city has fallen some 10000 be-
low their anticipations. They admit
that the same is true to an extent about
proportional in Brooklyn. They concede
moreover that as rule the registration
in the country districts has been larger
than they anticipated. Democrats pre-
ponderate in the cities, and Republicans
in the country. Hence a falling off in
the cities, or an increase proportionately
less than the increase in population, and
the converse in the country would on it's
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-11-02

face Indicate that on election day MAORI
ties in the Democratic strongholds were
going to show a falling off and majorities
in the Republican strongholds an in
crease. The city of Biddeford in York
county is strongly Democratic The
rural portion of York county is Republic
can. Now if pending an election the
registration in Biddeford should show
large decrease and that of other parts of
York county large increase the natural
inference, and the first one that people
would be likely to draw would be that
for some reason the Democrats were apa-
thetic and the Republicans interested,
and in the great majority of cases the
inference would be correct one. This
inference is just as natural and just as
likely to be correct in the real case of
New York as in the hypothetical case of
York county. If it is correct it affords
great encouragement to the Republicans,
for New York is always avery close state
when the full vote of both parties is
thrown, and q falling off even though
slight in the vote of one party and an in
crease in the vote of the other would GER
trinity ensure a majority for the latter.
The Democrats are evidently worried by
the facts of the registration, and are
seeking to avoid the most natural infer
ence by suggesting one favorable to
them.
They claim, for instance, that the fall
ing off in the city is due chiefly to a fall
ing off in the Republican registration,
and that the Democratic registration has
been kept up to expectations. Of course
that is possible. But it is very certain
that if the registration had shown an in
crease instead of decrease, no Democrat
would have credited the excess to an ex-
cess of Republican zeal. The Democrats
are forced to the inference that they
draw by the necessities of the situation.
because the more natural one and the one
that would occur to most people, would
be sure to prove very discouraging to the
rank and file of their party.
On its face the registration in New
York cities and in the rural districts APP
pears to be more favorable to the Repub-
licans than to the Democrats. That we
think will be admitted by any impartial
observer. This is not saying that the
Republicans are sure of the State, be-
cause appearances are sometimes deceit
full. 1t is saying, however, that under all
the circumstances the Republicans can
show better reasons for being pleased
with the registration than the Demo-
Gratis.

The Argus alleges that the stateme nj
that the Democrats intend to revive the
old State banks is SANDER. If the Argus
will examine the utterances of some of
its Southern Democratic contemporaries
it will find that in that section there is no
concealment of intention to revive the
old State banks, but distinct and positive
avowal of that purpose. If there is no
intention of reviving the. State banks why
was the repeal of the tax on their circu-
lation demanded in the Democratic plat
form? Was that put in just for fun?

The Argus has hopes, or pretends to
have, that the vote of Maine may be for
Cleveland, basing them upon the alleged
cut down of the Republican majority in
September on which it dwells at consid-
cradle length. We think if our esteemed
contemporary will study the vote at the
September election it will see that it has
no reason to be particularly complacent
over the reduction in the Republican ma
jority at that time, inasmuch as in the
part of the state where it's teachings are
chiefly disseminated the Republican
majority was not only not cut down but
increased over four years ago. In Cum
berland and York counties the Republi-
can loss was both proportionately and
actually less than the Democratic.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The History of Maine, by John S. G..
Abbot, was pretty poor piece of book
making as far as the author was con-
cerned, though the publishers did their
best to give it an attractive form. 1t
was utterly valueless to the student
though of some interest to the general
reader. Its faults were so obvious that
it was taken in hand by the late Edward
FL. Elwell for revision and supply of
omissions. The task could not well be
entrusted to worthier or more faithful
hands. Though the original text has
not been extensively remodelled, the five
chapters of new matter added by Mr..
Elwell, bringing the history down to
1882, and containing a general review of
the religious, political and educational
history of the state, of its industrial pro-
gress, and of it's natural resources, are
both interesting and valuable. The vol
ume a large octave of60S pages, hand
somely printed on fine paper, and con-
tanning So illustrations, is published at
Portland by the Brown Thurston; Com

being employed to make the statement
of principles and the demonstrations of
practice clear and of easy comprehension
to the pupil. The problems are con-
cisely and the explanations lucidly
stated. The novel treatment of fractions
and of percentage will attract the atten-
