Fickleness, Thy Name Is Maine Girl.

The other day a Lewiston young
Lady made an agreement with one OF
her admirers to go out walking that
evening Later she met another,
whom she invited to call that same
evening. She had forgotten the first.
Then when a third one of her beaux
made his appearance she agreed to
go walking with him. In the even
ing the first young man came for
her. She went and soon the second
arrived, and being told that she was
out he said he would go and meet
her.
When she saw him coming, she re-
membered her engagement, excused
herself from the first young man
and walked with the second. They
came to a confectionery store, and
she remained outside while he went
in after chocolates. The third young
man came along while she waited,
and she graciously promenaded off
with him. Now she says she will be
more careful of her appointments

1t IS matter of satisfaction to
American citizens that the wild craze
which spread over the country a few
months ago is dying out, and that a
healthful sentiment in favor of honest
money is becoming prominent in all
political organization. The Republi-
can party has been pronounced in this
regard for over thirty years; but De-
mocracy has continually firted with
the coy damsel of cheap currency, and
during the last presidential campaign
it pledged itselto the country in favor
of free coinage. Fortunately, Presi-
dent Cleveland and some of the lead
ing minds have gained control of af-
fairs, and 1t is to be hoped ne further
coquetry will be INDUCED in. It may
be possible that the same will be the
history of the tariff legislature. That
party is pledged to free-trade; but on
the sober second thought, when the
PROSTATE industries of the country ap-
peal to it in an emphatic manner. the
leaders will not attempt to spread
wreck and ruin broadcast by repeating
the tariff laws and making Confusion
worse confounded."

The traditions of the Democratic
party, from its inception to the present
time, has been aggression and con-
quest. In 1916 the war with Mexico
was inaugurated for more territory,
and later in our history an avaricious
eye was cast toward Cuba. Cleveland's
policy towards the Sandwich islands
has changed this tendency of the
party, and he has reversed the history
of the organization in not attempting
to annex Hawaii. Slavery Is extinct,
and perhaps more territory does no
longer excite the avariciousness of the
leaders. 1t was manifest destiny with
the Bourbons in 1916 and later on:
but there is a change in the principles
Of the party. During Jefferson's days
Democrats were animated by the wild
dreams Of the Jacobins of France;
but they have become more conserve
tive. and consider the extreme of free
license-as dangerous
as despotism.

EXAMINING A WITNESS.
How General Butler Discredited the Tei
timony of a Conductor

How General Butler Discredited the Tes.
timony of Conductor.
General Butler as counsel for the
plaintiff in a damage case against
one of the Boston street railway
companies, some years since, turned a
point in his clients favor and won his
case by an adroit and original move.
The accident in question had taken
place in a crowded street, and the
testimony was contradictory and
confusing. The conductor of the car,
on the witness stand, swore point
blank against the plaintiff. His evi-
dence was concise, and he claimed to
have seen all the occurrences of the
affair and described them minutely,
disputing the generals client at every
turn 1t was manifest that if the
conductor told the truth the plaintiff
had no case.
The general took up the cross ex-
animation, but the witness stuck TO
his story.
"What is that2" said the general,
pointing to the bell punch suspended
from the witness neck.
''Bell punch, was the answer.
"And what is a bell punch2" inno-
Gently inquired the lawyer And
then followed lengthy explanation
of how the machine rang the bell to
attract the passengers attention that
the amount was being recorded by
the machinery on the inside The
why's and wherefores, the necessity
for the thing and the company's
rules were gone into until the court
was well nigh out of patience and
the jury were plainly wearying.
"And what do you do if a mistake
is made and you come out short when
you and the machine are at vari-
ance?" was the generals query
'They make us pay the differ
ence, was the answer.
Wont they take your word for it9"
"No."
'Well, if they won't take your
word for nickel they needn't ex-
pect this jury to believe you, said
the general, and they didn't, for they
gave the plaintiff a substantial YER
dict"
I would not have my readers think
the general intended any slur upon
street car conductors, who are as
honest and honorable as the rest of
us. The general had a way of get
ting there, no matter who was hit

The Lehigh strike.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 23--'The LeEigh
valley strike situation Is without ma
teIial change. The company is increas-
ing slowly the number of moving freight
trains. Orders have been issued to the
Fourth regiment, of New Jersey, and
the First regiment of Philadelphia, to be
in readiness for any emergency. In
Wilkesbarre and Wyoming valley 10000

A number OF engineers and firemen from
the west arrived at Buffalo. Dispatches
from Burlington, Ia. .,report that scores of

Two Drowned at spokane.

SPOKANE, Nov. 22-James Kendrick
and Patrick Quirk, two men in the en-
ploy of the city excavating rock for the
Port-street bridge just above the falls,
met with terrible death yesterday at
ternooH. They were working on a mar
row ledge of rock 40 feet above the Spo-
kane river, when Kendrick slipped into
the water, carrying Quirk with him. As
soon as they struck the water The rapid
current bore them over the 30-foct falls,
snd in twinkling they were carried into
the '.Devll's Caldron," bottomless,
seething, foaming pool at the base of the
falls from which nobody has ever been
recovered.

boring provinces. In passing judg-
ment on these matters Americans
should deal fairly with that race of
people who gave them their free insti-
tutions and system of Jurisprudence,
and only arrive at conclusion after
all sides of the question have been
duly considered. The Anglo-S Saxon
race, on both sides of the Atlantic, are
an energetic, progressive people, and
are never satisfied without pushing
their trade among all classes and con-
ditions of men. There is hardly
country on the globe, that there are
not Americans and Eugllshmen en-
gagged in business. This was the idea
that caused the formation of the East
Indian company in the seventeenth
century, and eventually trade was so
lucrative and there were so many
Englishmen in Hindostan that they
desired the laws of the home govern
ment established. 1t was true in
Australia after the discovery of gold,
and also in South Africa after the
wealth of the diamond fields became
known. Canada was attached to the
empire after hard fought battles with
France, in which the American colo
nies sympathized with England. Each
of these foreign dependencies of the
crown is republic in itself,
making its own laws, and having
full control of affairs, with the
exception of the governor general
or viceroy, appointed by Westminis-
ter. As Tennyson sung so beautifully,
"Britons never will be slaves" and
wherever their restless ambition i'm
pels them to settle there must be free
institutions, with the most sacred pro-
lection thrown around the liberty of
the individual. In every British COL
ony these rights are guaranteed, and
whether in Hindostan, Australia.
Sonth Africa, British Guiena, or the
West Indies. every subject enjoys the
i.lalienable privilege of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. Whereve
England forms a colony the. ch urch
and school house stand side by side,
and the people are elevated to a higher
plane ef Christian civilization.

The strike on the LehIgh

ELMIRA. N. Y, Nov. 22-There is
much suppressed excitement among the
Lehigh strikers, increased by the rumors
that men are coming from Buffalo TO take

violence, but the men sav the freights

to comply with the request to call out
troops.

DEMOCRATIC EXCUSES.

Denocratic views of the recent elec-
tions vary according to the different
ideas entertained on national subjects
The advocates of free coinage consider
it rebuke to President Cleveland and
the special session of congress that
passed the bill to repeal the Sherman
act. Others who have strong procliv-
tiles in favor of free trade, believe
that a modification of the tariff is nee
essary, and this demand was made
emphatic at the ballot box Of course
these opinions are not endorsed by Re
publicans, who believe that the people,
by reason of the business depression
which has SO universally prevailed
over the country, are desirous of being
assured that the protection policy will
meet with no interference by Demo
Gratis.
Harper's Weekly may be considered
a fair exponent of Democratic doc
trine, and IN its leading editorial last
Saturday it says:
"The truth is that the Democratic
party has i'll a conspicuous manner
failed to justify the confidence of
many good citizens who last year, at
the presidential election, gave it their
support. The business disturbance
would not have produced such sweep
ing political effects had the party in
power-that is, the majority of the
Democrats In congress-showa them
selves capable of dealing with the
most pressing problem of the time as
sagaciously, vigorously, and promptly
as the crisis demanded. 1t is true,
the final repeal of the Sherman act
satisfied the immediate requirement
of the day. But this result Is gener-
ally believed to be due to the unwav-
ering 6rmness of the president, and
not to the wisdom of the Democratic
majority. 1t produced much more
the impression of lucky escape than
of an act performed by the party in
power according to a we'll settled pol
ICY"
In another paragraph in the same
article it says:
"If the Democratic party wishes to
remain strong factor in American
politics, it will have to disarm that
distrust by wise treatment of the
financial problems still to he solved,
and by the ful6lnent of the promises
with regard to the tariff policy which
found so much favor with the people
in the national elections of 1890 and
1892. 1t can no longer stake It's for
tunes upon the esteem in winch Mr.
Cleveland is held, for he will not re-
main its leader much longer; and be-
sides, the prestige of his name, too,
has been impaired by his deplorable
action in the Van Allen case, and by
the spoils politics which his admins
tration has been carrying on"
After defeat has been suffered it is
generally incun bent on the varquished
to frame some excuse why it happened,
and the able editer of Harper's Weekly
has done this as ingeniously as any
enc could. It may afford some conso-
lation to partisans who sorely feel the
disastrous results of the recent cleo
tions; but Republicans, at least, are
satisfied that such diagnoses of the dis
ease are incorrect and do not reach the
nalady. If the Chicago platform is
carried out by the Cleveland adninis-
tration 1896 will witness a greater
victory for the party of progress and
protection than that Of this month.
