GOV. BURLEIGH NOT OUT OF THE FIGHT.
IKennebec Journall
An Augusta correspondent of the Bath
Times makes the statement that "Gov-
ernor Burleigh is out of the fight, SO far
as his own nomination is concerned, and
he is now straining every nerve to nomi-
note Wiswel ,or a dark horse" This
statement is absolutely false. With
about 100 delegates already chosen in his
favor we think all will agree that Gov
ernor Burleigh is in the contest to a very
substantial degree. He is in it for him
self and for no one else, and the state
ments to the contrary which are being
circulated broadcast by his opponents
are utterly devoid of truth. Governor
Burleigh and his friends will make no
trades. They have fought straight
battle thus far and they purpose to fight
to the end. The Governors name will
be presented to the convention and his
friends will give him united and svigor-
Gus support. They understand perfectly
well that there well be no choice on the
first ballot, but after that they fail to see
why candidate with hundred loyal
supporters will not be decidedly in the
swim for the nomination.

Speaking of tbs delegates to 1.-THE third
district convention from Skowhegan the
Somerset Reporter says:
We state upon the authority of the President
of the Wiswen Club that every man on the dele
cation is a member of the Wiswell club and a
genuine Wiswell man, that every man on the
ticket was named by WiSwell men, and, further
more, that the delegation held an informal con-
sultation Saturday evening, at which most OF
the delegates were present, and agreed to sup
port Mr. Wiswell in the convention. On the
other hand, some of the Milliken men count
with confidence upon of the IL delegates for
their men.
Probably an Anything-to-beat Bur-
leigh ticket would describe it as accur-
ately as anything.

Since Mr. Cram has been Sheriff four of the
leading hotels in this city have gone into insol-
zens have gone into Kelley institutes.
Of course the inference the Argus in
tends the public shall draw from this is
that four hotels have failed because
Sheriff Cram has prevented them from
selling rum, and that his enforcement
has had no tendency to decrease drink
ing, inasmueh as forty Of our well known
The Portland daily press., 1892-07-02

citizens have gone into Kelley institutes.
As to the first statement. we have only to
say if, as the Argus intends to intimate,
the hotels failed because they were not
allowed to sell rum, and if under Mi.
SWEET no hotel is to be allowed 10 90 in
to bankruptcy because it cannot sell rum
and that is evidently what the Argus
means to hint to the public-then it is
admitted that Mr.. SWEET, if elected
sheriff, does intend to disregard his oath
and Ignore one of the laws of the state
With regard to the second statement it
is sufficient to say it has no bearing what
ever upon the amount of drinking i'll this
community for two years past, and the
Argus knows it. 1t suggests question
however, which perhaps our esteemed
contemporary, will be kind enough to
frankly answer: When those forty per-
sons have returned from the Kelley in
stitutes cured for the time being of their
craving for alcohol, which condition does
the Argus think will be most conducive
to continuance of their sobriety-a town
full of attractive 'rumshops such as exist
under license, or town where what
rumshops there are are in out OF the way
places, dirty and in every way repulsive,
as is the case in Portland to-day?
= The work of explaining away the
tariff plank of the Democratic plat
form so inauspiciously begun by the Bos-
ton Herald is now being continued by all
the organs, great and small. One paper
explains that the galleries were response
BILE for it; that they yelled and shouted
so when the minority resolution was read
in the convention that the delegates were
''rattled'' and voted down the majority
report without fully appreciating what
they were doing. Another takes refuge
in the fact that sufficient revenue can
not be raised without levying duties upon
some articles produced in this country,
and thus affording some incidental pro-
lection. Now why all this struggling to
get rid of this tariff plank? 1t is just the
kind of plank the free trade wing of the
Democratic party have been claiming for
years that they wanted. The principle
which underlies it is one that they have
claimed for years was the correct one on
which to construct tariff that would
bring prosperisy to the American people
of all degrees and conditions. Yet now
that they have finally succeeded in getting
it they have all suddenly become afraid of
it, and are tumbling over one another in
their frantic efforts to explain that it
does not mean anything anyway; that
it is visionary scheme which could
never be reduced to practice; and-that
the public in estimating the purposes of
Democratic party shonld charitably take
no account of it.

'sWe have urged the enforcement of

being, we trust, a law-abiding and law
respecting citizen Of Maine" Thus
spoke our esteemed contemporary, the
Eastern Argus, less than two years ago.
If it was sincere in what it then said
what explanation has it to give of it's
present advocacy of reinforcement OF
the law? If it believed then that a
person who opposed enforcement of the
liquor law could not be law abiding
and law respecting citizen what does it
think of the author of the recent edi-
torials that have appeared in it's columns
arguing that it was right and proper for
sheriff to ignore the lawp Has the
Argus ceased to be law-abiding and law
respecting. or has it come to the conclu-
sion that the doctrine laid down in the
paragraph quoted is unsound?
The New York Post is considerably
shrewder than most of its Democratic
contemporaries. When Campbell was
made chairman of the Republican Ma
tional committee Democratic organs in
general proceeded to post him as the
agent and attorney of P. d. Armour &
Co., that firm being roundly denounced
as an Ubiquitous combine engaged i'll
threatening the people. But the Post
remembers that the Armours were dis
pleased with some parts of the Mckinley
bill, and evidently has hopes that they
may turn up ON the Democratic side. and
perhaps contribute liberal sum to the
Democratic campaign fund. Hence it
handles them very tenderly. If it APP
pears later that they are still Republicans
it will undoubtedly join in the general
raid upon them. But it does not want to
unwittingly drive off people with, big

BIOGRAPHY OF A KING.
He Opened Session of His Cortes When
Only / Months Old

One morning in May, 1886, one of the
Madrid newspapers made the following
annoupcement: The cyclone has passed,
and the king has come; the smallest pos
si6le quantity of a king.
The christening was of course a great
ceremony, and n due time the pair of
little royal feet required to be shod, as ba-
oy feet generally 90.
So IN his fourth month the royal foot
was measured, the royal bootmaker was
duly instructed, ard the royal shoes were
In due time sent home.

finer, too, and would furnish a greater

four grains for production of fodder corn.

Tact.

To be able to say the right thing at the
right moment is q great art, and said only
to be acquired by those who have natural
talent that way. When a careless talker
who was criticising a young lady's father
severely, paused to say, Il hope he isno
relation of yours, Miss b" quick as
thought she replied with the utmost
nonchalance: Only a connection of my
mothers by marriage" Few could hope
to show such a readiness of speech in a
dilemma of this kind Yet in more cur
ious and amusing way this is matched by
cautious Old woman who, when
asked what she thought of one of her
neighbors by the name of Jones, with a
knowing look replied, "Why, ] don't like
to say anything about my neighbors; but
as to Mr.. Jones, sometimes | think, and
then again don t know; but, after all
rather guess he'll turn out to be good

In his 18th month his majesty first en-

cortes.
All The chief personages Of Madrid were
anxious to W illness the opening ceremony,
and the senate house could not contain

The king appeared in the arms of his
faithful Austrian nurse, who stood at the
ngnt hand of the queen, close to the
throne.
He was arrayed entirely in white: his
white sombrero hat, tied with white rib
bons, was removed On his entrance, and
with an excellent composure he surveyed
the scene, alternately watching the crowd
and bestowlng his attention upon the
queen as she read the speech in low voice
10 the assembly.
The speech over, his majesty evinced a
decided wish to be among the first to
leave, but, being taken in the queens
arms, he remained very quietly until the
long proceedings were ended, when he de-
parted from his first official interview
with his cOrtes amid loud "vivas."

A LAKE OF MOLTEN LAVA.
One of the Most Remarkable Sights in the
World

Hawaiian advices received by ths
steamer Australia state that the lake of
molten lava known as Halemauman.
which formed the crater of the volcano Of
klleaua, on the Island of Hawaii, last
april, has been steadily Increasing in
depth and size till it is at last 200 feet in
length and $40 feet IL depth. 1t is of ir-
regular oval form, and surrounded by al
most perpendicular walls.
correspondent of the Hawaiian Ga
zette, writing under date of December |.
says: What sight it presents! Golden
red lava spoutlng, seething, kissing in
every part Of this large caldron; never
still, but ever moving, rising and falling
and flowing steadily toward the centre,
where 1t seems to pour back into and
descend through the same vortex from
which it is continually elected as from
fountain thirty or fifty feet high, near the
center of the lake.
Besides these large fountains, which
seem TO feed the lake and keep it supplied
with fresh lava for the grand display.
there are lnnumerable smaller ones play
ing In every part OF the lake, reminding
one of the splash when cannon-ball falls
into the water The number of these is
very large and quite impossible to count
when the lava Is very active, as they are
constantly in motion, some disappearing
and new ones being formed. At this
time they probably number a thousand,
the smaller ones resembling 70 cles, the
larger ones miniature fountain jets vary
ing from two to ten feet high, but all
surprisingly brilliant
How they are formed has not been ac-
counted for, but, like meteors, they come
unheralded ana then disappear. The
shores, like the Examinations of this grand
lake, differ from any previously seen by
the writer. Former lakes in Klleau8 have
been surrounded by caverns into which
the lava was driven, thrown up and out
with a splashing noise. This one is dit
fereut i'll this respect in being surrounded
on every side with a shore like that of a
fresh water lake, on which the molten
lava flows up like water ON the shore.
The resemblance is perfect, wave fol-
lowing wave, the white foam of the wate-
being changed to a brilliant red in all its
various hues, but otherwise a perfect sea
beach surrounds the whole lake. Now,
picture such a scene of molten sea with It's
red waves breaking gently along
the shore and recading, followed by sue
cessive waves painted in most brilliant
red and lwtys in motion. The interior
of the lake is marked with innumerable
red ripples, and scattered among the
whole are thousand lighted torches,
all in motion, forming a changing pan.
Drama and you have a picture of the
lava lake as it is now seen. one of the
rarest and most beautiful sights ever ex-
libited in the volcanic history of this or
any other country. 1t is a picture which
no artist can paint, no pen fully describe,
and no person fully comprehend without
seeing it.-ChrOnicIe,

Presidential Talk.

WASHINGTON, March h.-Thcrc is a
report current that President Harrison,
fearful Of the growing strength Of the
organized opposition To his renOmina-
ton, sent Land Commissioner Carter
and Director of the Mint Lecch 10
Atheville to see GARRISON and induce
him, if possible to stop the Des Moines
Register from booming Blaine and to
promise to keep out Of the race himself.
The report continues that in reply 20
this request Clarkson said:
81 shall do nothing of the sort. If Il
can't find somebody to run against Har-
rison, III run myself"
Land Commissioner Carter was seen
this morning and denied the report.

port" he SAID, lis that Mr.. Lcech and
! went down to Ashville, where Mr..

stubborn cold and the rheumatism.
We went there on his invitation, but
we did not talk politics to any extent.
Mr.. Harrison did not know that we
were going, nor was there anything
said that could In any way be twisted
Into such declaration as the report
quotes Garrison as having made"

Senator ashburn had been forced to
drop his opposition to Harrison and

Breeding Dairy Stock.

While the heifer calves of an extra
good cow may be nothing more than Or
dinary milk and butter producers, the
line of extra production alternates from
f. male to male, and then to the female
line again. This has often been noted,
and so often that the bull calves from ex-
ira mixers ought to be saved with equal
care as is given to heifers. Many valu-
able animal has been sacrificed because it
was only male. Where stock is graded
however, these extra-bred bulls of native
breed have not propotency to stamp their
qualities upon their offspring. Only
thoroughbreds, and of the same breed,
should be used as males for breeding
grade dairy stock. To breed with tho
roughbreds of different stock from the
grade only produces mongrel, upon the
outcome of which no reliance can be
placed. Each of the dairy breeds has
well-defned excelIences of its own. But
to cross and recross them only produces a
race of scrubs if continued three or four
generations.
