turned to their advantage, but the Re

CURRENT COMMENT.
Ex-sPEAKER REED IN BOSTON.
Boston Herald

But it fell to the lot of ex-Spealzer
Reed, the last speaker, to receive the
greatest ovation. 1t was several seconds
before he could start in on his remarks,
the cheers and yells were SO deafening.
Everybody rose and yelled. The ro-
tund, beaming countenance of the Jolly
Maine statesman was wreathed in
smiles, and when he did commence the
smile was transferred to everybody in
the audience, and burst forth into peals
of laughter. His whole speech was
punctuated at frequent intervals with
roars of laughter, particularly at his sar-
castle illusions to the Democracy, spok-
en- with that nasal twang Characteristic
of himself. Some of his sentences were
masterpieces of rhetoric, AM as such
were appreciated, but he relied mainly
on his wit and sarcasm.
Boston AdNertiser.]
Ex-Speaker Reed was the star of the
evening and when he arose to make his
brief informal speech, the ovation that
greeted him was something tremendous

CANADA AND RECIPROCITY.

1t is all very easy to talk about reci-
procity with Canada, to say that it would
benefit Portland, as it undoubtedly
would, and that we ought to have it, but
it is altogether more difficult to get it.
OF course we can get from Canada the
privilege of sending our natural products
such as farm produce, into the Cana
dian markets, in exchange for the
like privilege granted to Canada
OF sending her natural products into
our markets. But that is not reci-
procity That is exposing our farmers to
hurtful competition without any ade-
quate recompense. The present govern
ment of Canada is not in favor of any
real reciprocity. 1t has, 10 be sure, for
the purpose of quieting the sentiment in

The law court in the case of State of
Maine VS.. Peter Newell, an Indictment
for killing deer in close time has just de-
cided that the claim of the Passama-
quoddy Indians to the right to kill deer
t.any season by virtue of an ancient
treaty is unfounded. The court says
I. The Indians, resident within this
state are not ''Indian Tribes" within the
treaty making powers of the Federal
government.
2, Nor are they in political life or ter
ritory, the successors of any of the vari-
Gus Eastern Tribes of Indians with
whom treaties were made by the crown
or the colonies in colonial times, and
hence they cannot effectually claim any
privileges or exemptions under such
treaties.
3. While they have partial organiza-
ton for tenure of property and local mat
tiers, they have now no separate political
organization, and are subject as individu-
ais to all the laws of the state.

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A St. Francis gentleman says that
George Nadeau, who shot q. S. deputy
sheriff McNally, near that place some
weeks since, declares he will never be
taken alive. Nadeau goes about armed
with rifle and brace of revolvers, but
no one is afraid of him. It is known that
he will never use the weapons unless an
attempt is made to arrest him. He says
he will keep one shot to end his own life
If the authorities come after him in sllffi-
cient numbers to overpower him.

The joint appeal of Chairman Marley
of the Republican State Committee and
Chairman Donavan of the Democratic
State Committee to the officials upon
whom the Australian law imposes the
duty of appointing the ballot clerks to
select for those positions men recon-
mended by their respective parties is
timely, and it is to be hoped that it will
be needed. The Australian ballot law
is perfectly fair theoretically to both
parties, and it will be perfectly fair in
practice to both parties if the officials
whose duty it is to administer it are ami
mated by the right spirit. 1t can be
readily seen however if a Republican
mayor should select as ballot clerks to
represent the Democrats men not accep-
table to that party, or Democratic
mayor should act the same way in regard
to ballot clerks to represent the Republi-
cans dissatisfaction would be created,
and the law somewhat discredited. Let
the law be enforced according to its
spirit and letter and all will be well.

1t is not at all likely that the Mug
wumps will accept the invitation of the
Republicans of Massachusetts to return
to the Republican party. The Mug
wumps long ago became Democrats, and
they are likely to continue SO to be. Pos
sibly the nomination of David B. Hill
and the adoption of free coinage plank
by the Democratic National Convention
might be too much for their stomachs,
but even under these circumstances we
doubt if they would return to the Re-
publican party. 1t is a great mistake to
suppose that the Mugwumps are indie
pendents, inclined to follow their iudg-
ment of what is best That is a role in
which they long ago ceased to appear.
Their hatred for the Republican party is
now more bitter and irreconcilable than
that Of the old line Democrats. All invi-
tations to return to the Republican party
extended to them are wasted.

ST. JOHN, the Malign, complains
that the number of liquor houses In
this country has increased from III,
369 TO 240. 1877 la three years. Can the
great apostle Of prohibition see no
connection between this startling in
crease in the number of liquor shops
and the persistent refusal of his party
to deal with the question in such a
way as to enlist the sympathy and
CO operation of the great masses in
the temperance world2 He who runs
should he able to read from these
figures the demonstrated failure of
prohibition as q curative for the evils
of intemperance, but st. John is the
last man who will adjust his specta-
cles SO as to read this self-evident
truth. He Is prohibitionist for pc.
litical effect only, and, as such. can
not be supposed to concern himself
with the issue of his theories. Judged
by his past efforts his aim seems to
be to build up q political party with
prohibition as its chief cornerstone, of
which he shall be himself the high
priest and prophet, regardless of its
effect upon the decrease or increase of
intemperance.

WHEN President Harrison was in.
augurated there was no political
prophet in this country who foresaw
the terrible disaster that fell upon
the repu blicsn party two years later,
when the democrats carried the
country triumphantly and secured
possession of the popular branch of
the national legislature by a majority
unprecedented since the war. When
that democratic victory was achieved
in 1890, there was no political pro-
phet in the country who forsaw that
in less than two short years all the
advantages they had gained would
be lost, and the presidential cam.
paign of 1892 open with almost Ger.
tain prospects of republican victory.
The immense sweep of the political
pendulum from republican to demo.
crat, from democrat to repub lican,
within the short space of four years,
demonstrated as perhaps nothing else
can, how unfixed is the fixedness OF
political ascendency in this country,
and that the dissatisfaction and un-
settlement of the country which leads
to such sudden political changes is
the most uncertain of all factors In
the great equation of political power.
1t also demonstrates that, In the
period marked by such changes, the
party that devises most wisely and
honestly for the public veal will in
the end secure the confidence of the
people and maintain its supremacy.
