We stand up for the name of the BowKRY.
It shan't be changed. It can't DO changed.
There isn't enough strength In tho Board Of

THE New YoRK Sun IL one Of the ablest and
most entertaining newspaper published in
the United States.
The Sun is sound on one subject, and tho
good people Of the South are going to be a.
ways grateful to it for the stand It takes in
connection with that.
1t rightly puts the Force bill forward As q
great issue IN this canvass. In presence of
which. as far as the South is concerned, all
other questions and issues arc dwarfed. It
admits and charges openly that the Force bill Is
an attempt to make tho white people Of the
South submit to negro domination. and main
tatns that its white brethren OF the South shall
not be subjected to this degradation. May it,
influence be powerful 50 long - IL remains

Tho Persians ought surely to have found

ravages. We believe that at least a quarter
OF q million OF them have fallen before tho de-
stroyer within q year: and for months past tens
OF thousands Of oorpses have lain unburied in

his capital. and the great people have sought

possesses them regarding the necessity Of

connected with a venomous attack upon Tam

such a division in the Democratic forces In the

The Locomotive Fremen's Magazine pub
fishes a long essay about Mr.. ANDREW CARNE-
GLE. based upon the assumption that he has
pretended to be . converted sinner" in the
Methodist sense. Here are some of its re-
marks about Mr.. CARNEGIE:
he professed to got religion, turned sxhorter. and
20 thorough was his conversion that he was not con.
tent with oral announcements OF . change Of heart
but must needs 20 into print and stsrtle the world with
the declaration that he had been converted Great
was the hue and cry when CARNEGIE proclaimed that
the scales had fallen from his eyes and that the devils
had been cast out Of him. Henceforth he belonged to
tho Lord. His sins had all been washed away. He
had been moulded anew"
In speaking thus. the Locomotive Nremen',
Magazine gives evidence that It Is not we'll In.
formed about Mr.. CARNEGIE. Ever since Mr..
CAhNpa1E's name became familiar in this
country. or for perhaps twenty years past. no
has been known As very much Of q free thinker
In religion. We do not suppose he would OBJ
ject to be called IN agnostic or a disciple OF
HERBERT SPENCER During the existence in
this city OF that extremely liberal" orgaui-
zation. the Nineteenth Century Club. of which
the late Mr.. C~oURTLANDT PALMER was Presi-
dent. CARNEGIE was o member OF 1t: and he
there made speeches OF an agnostic kind. We
may also mention the interesting fact that.
upon one occasion. when q welI-known social
reformer" Of this city addressed the club. Mr..
CARNEGIE claimed that he himself was far
more Of q Socialist" than the speaker was. Mr..
CARNEGIE has never made any concealment OF
his religious liberalism but has often pro-
claimed 1t in public speeches and in print.
We suppose that. as a Scotchman OF Presby-
terian %parentage. Mr.. CARNEGIE was baptized
In the Presbyterian Church: but. as a CON-
s~picuous parsonage in this country. We have
never heard Of his protesting to believe in anv
religious creed. or Of his being aught else than
q Spencerian.
Whom the Locomotive Frenen's Magazine as
sorts that Mr.. CARNEGIE has been a religious
exhorter. and that he startled the world by
declaring that the devils had been cast out Of
him. that ho had been converted. that his sins
had been washed away. and that he belonged
to the Lord. We must ask 1t to give US owl
dence In support OF such assertions.

Hill claims that he will have at least
375 votes in the Democratic convention,
and that if his Southern contingent
sticks to him he may yet get the nomin-
alton. His chances of getting the nom
ination, however, are not worth talking
about. If Cleveland is beaten Hill will
not be nominated, but third man.
Possibly, however, his hope of defeating
Cleveland is not forlorn one. We OBJ
serve that in their list of his delegates
Hills friends include three from Maine.
1t has been pretty generally understood
that one of the Maine delegates would
vote for him, and there is no doubt who
will throw that vote, but where the other
two are coming from is a question which
is not likely to be answered to the gen
eral public until the vote is taken in
the convention.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The First International Railway and
the Colonization of New England. Life
and writings of John Alfred Poor.* This
is the title of book which should be
welcome especially to every resident of
Maine and should likewise possess an
interest for every one who appreciates in
man, energy and perseverance guided by
genius. The noble personality of John
A. Poor can still be summoned from the
shadowy past and made to assume dis
tinctness to the eve of memory by all the
older citizens of Portland and even the
tones of his manly voice still echo in the
ears of many. The author of the book
has well performed a pious and useful
task in giving us this story of her fathers
life work, and most readers of her book
will agree with her, that had Portland
people more actively cooperated with
him in carrying out his plans, the Forest
City would be much more populous and
prosperous than it is today. Positive
and sanguine men like John A. Poor al
ways encounter opposition from their
fellows. Many men, who by inheritance
or the exercise of their own abilities.
have attained a moderate degree of
prominence, in spirit of jealousy of
which they are often unconscious. are
apt naturally to oppose men of larger
calibre than themselves and to do all in
their power to thwart their best efforts
for the common good. 1t is pitiabIe to
consider this in after years, when they
all sleep side by side in Gods acre and
the occasion of their strife viewed. per-
spectively, is seen in all it's pettiness.
1t is not profitable, however, to dwell
on this phase of the matter, and the au-
thor has judiciously avoided it, confin-
ing herself to the simple narrative of her
fathers life-work. The book properly
begins with a genealogy of the Poor
family. 1t would have been better to
have left out the part taken from Ben
Perley Poor's book respecting the Eng
fish origin of the family, which is largely
mythical. Unless a genealogical line
can be clearly traced to family across

Probably the sudden appearance of a
"boom'' for Mr.. William R. Morrison of
Illinois is solely for the purpose of keep
ing votes away from Cleveland, although
Mr.. Morrison himself seems to be labor
ing under the impression that he is real
live candidate with chance. The
scheme of the anti Cleveland men is to
get as many ''favorite sons'' in the race
as possible, SO as to cut down Cleveland's
vote on the first ballot. The smaller
they make it the better the chance of
eventually throwing him out of the race.
The Morrison ''boom'' is feature of
this scheme. Whether it can be made to
work depends upon the Illinois dele
gates. Though these delegates are not
pledged to Cleveland, the convention
which selected them was strong Cleve-
land body, and the preferences of the
delegates themselves are for Cleveland.
Still the State pride racket may be
worked upon them successfully.

The Democratic caucuses this evening
will be unusually interesting by reason
of the fight for nomination for sheriff
which is raging with great fury. The
fight is a triangular one, there being three
candidates, Mr.. George Tolman, Mr..
Robert F. Somers and City Marshal
SWEET. There is probably no essential
difference in the attitude of these men
towards the liquor law. 1t is perfectly
well understood that all three of them
believe in ''liberap' enforce
ment of the law, or to speak more ac-
curately liberal non-enforcement of it.
City Marshal SWEET perhaps has some
advantage in the fact that he has shown
while he has been in Office that
people who sell rum have little to
fear from him, while the inability of the
others to discover violations of the
liquor law has not been tested. tits rarely
that an appeal for the suffrages of the
citizens for an Office in an intelligent
community is based upon readiness to
neglect to perform the duties which that
Office imposes. But this is one of the
rare cases, and it is safe to say that in
no way could any one of these gentle
men who are in pursuit of this office of
sheriff so completely and surely ruin his
chances of getting the nomination as by
proclaiming an intention to faithfully
and vigorously perform all the duties

Expression, Appropriate Drills, Reading

abounds in cuts, illustrative Of the differ
emit exercises, which add much to its
value.
The German Emperor and His Eastern
Neighbors. By Poultney Bigelow. New
York; Chas L. Webster d Co. From
the publishers.) The first part of this
interesting book is devoted to sketch
OF the life and public career OF the pres
emit German Emperor, of whom Mr..
Blgelow is evidently an enthusiastic adj
mirer. Mr.. Bigelow's estimate of the
Emperor's popularity is shown by his
assertion that if the people could vote for
ruler tomorrow, their choice would
unquestionably fall on the present EN-
peror. In Mr.. Bigelow's opinion no
king OF Prussia since Frederick the Great
has understood his business like the
present Emperor. This is high praise,
altogether too high many people will
think. The secret of the Emperors
power with his people, in Mr.. Bigelows
opinion, arises mainly from these causes:
He has courage: he is honest; he is
thorough German. To the second cause
Mr.. Bigelow ascribes much of what he
calls the "malevolent criticism that
outside papers have accorded the En-
peror. Time alone can tell how accurate
Mr.. Bigelow's estimate is. The latter
part Of Mr. Bigelow's book is devoted
largely to Russia and consideration of
the causes of the present famine. His
comments upon the Gar and the govern
classes of Russia is not complimentary,
and it is by no means improbable that
the work may have had something to do
with his recent expulsion from that coun-
try.
The Test Pronouncer. A companion
volume to 1000 Words Often Mispro
nounced. By William Henry P, Phyffe.
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons; Port
land: Loring, Short & Harmony This
book contains the identical list of $1,000
Words Often Mispronounced," the chief
difference between this and the former
work being that in this one the words
are arranged in groups of ten, without
diacritical marks, for convenience in reci-
tation. The purpose of this book is to
facilitate the use of the former in the
class room.
Farming Corporations. By Wilbur
Aldrich. New York: W. Aldrich & CO.
From the publisher.) The book sets
forth with much elaboration a scheme
Tor forming the farmers into corpora
tons and the carrying on of farming by
such corporations instead of at present
by individuals separately. Like great
many other schemes for removing the
difficulties in mans pathway this one
looks quite plausible as the author sets
it forth. But like all of them, in practi-
cal operation it would encounter obsta-
Giles, which the author has not reckoned
with. AS long as human nature remains
as diverse as it is today, as long as hui
man tastes are so different, it is not
likely that any device, no matter how
plausible, will commend itself to any
great number.
