PRcK,s REPORT DUPLICATED.


When Labor Commissioner Peck of
New York threw boombshell into the
camp of the Free Trade Democrats by
the premature publication of his statis-
tics sustaining Republican claims in re-
lation to the benefits of protection, the
managers of the Democratic campaign
and their mugwump allies made all sorts
of wild charges against the report as well
as its author. 1t was alleged among
other things that the report was based
upon the statements of manufacturers
alone and that Hill had caused the re-
port to be colored and published at this
time for the purpose of stabbing Cleve-
land in the back. Unfortunately for the
Democratic leaders they have been utter
Nv unable to impeach the character of
Peck's report and it has moreover just
been materially strengthened. The facts
and figures contained in his report are
completely sustained by another report
of similar nature published by Chief
Peel of the Indiana bureau of statistics.
The report by Chief Peel shows that
there has been marked increase in the
wages of factory employees in the princi-
pal manufacturing centres of Indiana,
and the pay of laborers in Indianapolis,
Evansville and Terre Haute is mentioned
SuOWlhS bChOlbo VI
protection. The figures of this report,
like those published by Commissioner
Peck of New York, furnish direct and
explicit answer to the claims made
by "Gen." Stevenson, Democratic can
didate for vice-president, 10y Gov. Rus
sell of Massachusetts and others that not
a single instance can be shown where
the Mckinley tariff has raised the wages
of employees.
The objections made to Mr.. Peck's re-
port can hardly apply to that of Mr..
Peel who has been in his present position
for ID years; for his figures are based
entirely upon the testimony of wage
earners, and Mr.. Peel himself is Dem
Ocrat of Democrats, not identified with
any factionin the great fight which is
now rending the Democratic party.
Under the circumstances we do not
readily see upon what grounds our DEM
ocratic friends can object to the character
of Mr.. Peels report, but they will of
course take exceptions to the contents
of the report and Democratic newspapers
will ignore it altogether or bury it in
some obscure position in their columns
as was done in the case of Commissioner
Peck's report.
These reports are plainly throwing the
Democratic ranks into completely de
moralized condition. The facts and
figures contained in them are at direct
variance with the Democratic tariff plank
which denOunces protection, and if one
Democrat can believe another the result
of their publication ought to be the con-
version of many of the blindly Free
Trade Democrats.

Heep Your Seat, Horace.

What is considered as very good
joke has leaked out concerning a fat,
jolly, fellow who drives an accOmmoda-
ton team in Augusta. This driver
makes 1t point to be out at the night
trains and thus picks upa good deal OF
traffic at odd times. One night last week
in the midst of the storm when it ,,rained
cats and dogs and the wind howled lu-
gubriously round the corners of the rail-
road station, thin-featured, slight man
alighted from the train and wanted to go
to the Augusta House. There was no
hack at that late hour and the traveller
engaged the accommodation carriage to
take him to his destination. On reach
ing the top of Rhine's Hill the driver
turned up Green street, as Grove street,
the direct route to the Augusta House,
was unfit for travel. The passenger had
evidently been to the Augusta House be-
fore, for when the team drove into the
impenetrable darkness caused by the
dense shade trees on Green and State
streets, he called to the jocund Jehu,
''Where are you taking me? 1 want to
go to the Augusta House." The driver S
reply was an infringement on the one
made by the stage driver to Mr.. Greeley:
keep you seat, Horace" A minute
had not elapsed when a slight stir behind
him caused the driver to turn and peer
into the seat. 1t was vacant! The
sound of running footsteps was heard on
State street. The passenger, thinking
the driver had taken him on that dark
street for the purpose of robbing him,
had ANONYMOUSLY taken to his heels
without stopping to pay his fare.-Ban-
gOr Wing and Courier.

THE RALLor LAW.

1t was to be expected that the opera
ton of the new ballot law should be at
tended with some inconvenience and pos
sibly its first trial has worked to the dis
advantage of the dominant party in this
State. That something of the decreased
Republican majority, at the recent cleo
ton, is attributable to the unwillingness
of voters to give sufficient attention to it
and to the prevalent idea that it was
complicated and cumbersome is hardly
to be doubted. In the smaller towns.
where the preponderance of one party
over the other is in the ratio of three or
four to one, the majority must Of neces-
sity be most effected by improperly
marked ballots. This is, however, no
argument against the law.
To claim that because ten per cent. of
the vote cast was rejected for non-com-
pliance with its requirements, the Repnb-
lican party lost more than its fair pro-
portion, is only to credit its political op-
ponents with the possession of more than
their fair proportion of intelligent
voters.
In general the law has worked well
and to the satisfaction of the voters. Of
the fact that in many places, owing to
the inexperience of the officials having
~ III lOo plON1olOuS lldNG uOUutCu
properly and vigorously enforced, there
is abundant evidence. That in some in
stances undue and improper advantages
has been taken of the ignorant voter may
also be true. These are defects that can
easily be remembered at the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature.
A provision that two members of the
Board of Civil Authority should accom-
pany such voters as may require assist
ance in the preparation of their ballot to
the voting booths, would remove all
danger OF unfair methods, if any exists
under the present provisions.
The similar law which is to be tried in
Maine at the election differs from the
Vermont statute in that the ballot, in
the former State, has the candidates of
the several parties arranged in parallel
columns with the name of the party,
Republican," Democratic" ''Peo-
ple's," etc., in conspicuous type at the
head of the columns. A voter, who
wishes to cast straight ballot for all
the candidates of his party-and eighty
to ninety per cent. of the voters gener-
ally dds required to put an X at the
head of the column only, instead of
marking each individual name.
The provisions of the ballot laws of
other States, wherein they differ from
our own, may offer suggestions for it's
improvement that are worthy of careful
consideration.
In just so far as the law protects the
individual rights of the voters and gives
them opportunity to express their wishes
and preferences, uninfuenced by others,
it is good law. That this has been the
effect so far is generally conceded. 1t
may be amended, it should be changed
wherein it is defective. But it should
neither be repealed nor safeguards it
provides for the purity of the ballot box
be so changed as to make it less effective
in the accomplishment of the purposes
for which it is designed.-St Adams

"WHERE ARE YOU ATP,

A gentleman who was an active Demo-
crat in 1894 has put in circulation the
following statement of Mr.. Cleveland's
whereabouts:
A Democratic Congressman of the
Fifty-second Congress asked the ex-
tremely pertinent question, "Where was

Grover Cleveland should ask this same
question, and then gather together and
treasure up the answers he would re-
ceive from all over the country.
The following would be the answers
from many thousands:
No. 1-"You are at-stopping the
work in the workshops of the country. {"
No. 2-"You are at-the reductionsof
our wage earners."
No. 3-"You are at-the reduction of
the value of our factories, houses and

that he has been earnestly appealed tc
by number of worthy and influential
citizens of Brooklyn-among them the
Mayor of the city-to procure, if possible,
an exercise of royal clemenoy in the case
of DIR. Thomas Gallagher, naturalized
citizen of the United States, formerly
and for many years resident of Brook
Ign, but who is now undergoing judicial
sentence in England, imposed some
years ago for an offence political in its
character. The prisoner is represented
to be a man of excellent standing in his
profession as physician, and in his do
nestle life to have endeared himself to a
large circle by his personal virtues. An
aged mother and invalid sister are de-
pendent upon him for their sole means
of support, and his case thus presents
many features that appeal to natural
sympathy"
Mr.. Bayard is careful to say that he
has mo information that would justify
any suggestion of doubt as to the fair
ness of his trial or justice of his
sentence" but he adds that he feels, "as
this is the year of grace and jubilee, in
which generosity and charity will fill the
hearts of British subjects and their
Queen" that he is justified. Sin yielding
to importantly" and bringing the case
informally to the Minister'S attention"
In conclusion, Mr.. Bayard urged upon
Mr.. Phelps to take steps to have this
petition laid before the Queen.
1t seems probable that either this was
not done or whatever representations
were made by tho Home Secretary were
handicapped by an unfavorable recon-
mendation, for nothing further was
heard of the matter. Not even reply
was sent to Mr.. Bayard on the subject.
One of the first acts of our State Depart
ment on the accession of the Gladstone
Government, was to bring these cases
again to the surface. The intimation
given by the British Home Secretary of
a willingness to consider them is most
hopeful sign. A large number of petit
tions on DR.. Gallagher's behalf were
presented to the Senate during last
session.

DIGGING PoTArOEs EARLY.

Many potatoes are lost every yea by
leaving them in the ground where they
grow until the middle autumn, or unit
the soil is converted into mud by the
autumn rains, and not infrequently till a
large portion of them are ruined by rot
ting. When dug, they come out of the
ground covered with mud, and in con-
dition to favor the increase of rot in the
winter. Instead of pursuing this mis-
taken course, dig them as soon as the
tops cease growing and the leaves begin
to wither. Place them in the coolest
clubhouse, where there is enough ventil-
alton to prevent the accumulation of
bad air, but not to expose them to the
wind or too much light.
During the latter part of August the
soil will be dry enough to separate free
ly from them, and to leave bright clear
exterior, and with the requisites
mentioned there will be little tendency
to rot. There ere now crops of early
potatoes all through the country lying in
the ground without any possible change,
except becoming more and more liable to
be affected by the rot. Properly housed
they will keep better, or if such place
cannot be provided put them in heaps
in cool place, and cover them with
straw, leaving small openings as far as
may be required for sufficient ventilation.
