IL. 0Iaine's Letter.

Mr.. Blaine's letter 10 Chairman Marley
of the Republican State Committee is a
splendid illustration OF bis great power to
coadense a vas, amount of argument into
few words He calls attention to the fact
that under the wise operation of the Nc
kiniey tariff law. the intel States has
"a greater volume of business, internal and
external export and import. than the
United States ever transacted before" He
arraigns the Democratic party for the po-
sitiou upon the tariff question taken in its
national convention. and pointed out the
fact that Thomas jefferson. whom the
Democrats are fond Of claiming as their
founder. was himself pronounced protec-
ZIONIST. Mr.. Blaine touches upon reciproc-
ity and in his mastery way makes perfectly
clear to any intelligent, understanding both
the logic and the simplicity of the whole
scheme. Mr.. Blaine closes his letter by
pointing out the unreasonable advantages
Of gar present admirable monetary system
over thu wildcat currency of ante-belluu
days. These three great issues--tariff
reciprocity, and sound currency, which
TIC Democfats Of Maine have en.ieayorcsl
50 ssscuuously to dc.ige--Mr Blaine de-
ciAres TO be the great issues to be passed

We think we have at last discovered the
origin of the theory that the moon is made
of cheese We came to this conclusion
after listening 10 the following time honored
legend told by full blooded Sioux Indian.
lie sail fhe belief was that every
time new moon appeared it WAS u
signal for all the mice in the country
TO gather themselves together in one
spot When they assembled they then sep
arated into four great armies. Tine army
went to the north, another Ia the south. a
thir,l to the east AMI fourth to the west.
These armies of mice Travelled until they
reached the point ehere, from the place of
starting, the heavens seemed to touch the
earth Thea they climbed up the sky until
they came to the moon. which by tins time
was what we call full,
All of the four armies then commenced
nhbling at Luna. and when they had eaten
her all up the mice would scamper back
down the heavens to the earth and wait for
her to show herself aggin. when the jour
nev and the nibblng would be repeated by
the mice and this IS What the Indians of
esrly DAYS believed was the cause of the
moon growing old and finally disappearing.
