THE Democratic machine politi-
clans of New York have set up as
their candidate for United States Sen
ator Edward Murphy, Jr., beer
brewer Of Troy. Mr.. Cleveland, with
his usual frankness, being pressed for
an opinion, has publicly expressed
himself to the effect that he does not
believe Mr.. Murphy can fill the bill.
He thinks that a statesman, rather
than politician, should represent a
great State like New York i'm the Sen
ate. Mr.. Murphy's friends do not
claim that he is statesman, but he
has a pull with the fellows who run
the machine and will probably get

TIE Charleston Gazette has sug-
gested, for the benefit OF the Lepisla-
ture, a most sensible idea-the in
crease of the salaries OF our Governor
and judges. We are almost ashamed
to put it down in print that West Vir-
ginia pays its Governor but S2,7OO a
year-a sum that doesn't nearly
pay the expense Of keeping up a re-
spectacle establishment. Our su-
preme judges get $4,000 a year and
circuit judges $1,000. A first-class
lawyer who will accept either OF these
positions of course does so at a finan-
cial sacrifice that no State ought to
demand of its servants. We hope the
will take steps that will
result In increasing these salaries
There Is no reason why West Virgin
a should be niggardly and mean.

THE management Of the worlds
fair at Chicago has made little
more money by selling the privilege
OF furnishing drinking water to the
thirsty thousands who will attend
that exhibition. In consideration of
a certain sum in cash, an enterpris-
ing company has been privileged to
furnish good water at so much a
drink, and no one else can compete.
The generous managers, however,
have decided that the people may
have all OF the water they want
from Lake Michigan, free of charge,
and no one will be prevented from
getting down on his stomach and guz
cling out Of the artificial ponds.

THE latest news that we have from
Washington is that Senator Kenna
has had a return OF his heart trouble,
and his physicians and family have
given up all hopes Of his recovery, al
though the Senator himself believes
that he will get better again.
Mr.. Blaine, who was worse again
last week, is little better now, but
it is only too evident that his days are
also numbered.

Financial WORLDLY

ArlHduCldi WOIlu.)
An impression prevails in the West
that the state of Maine is good state to
emigrate from, and that there is no long
er any advancement possible in the accu-
mutation of wealth within her borders.
What the people of the Pine Tree state
lack in productive lands they make up
in manufacturing and by the practice of
strict economy. No better proof of this
can be found than in the last report of
the Commissioner of Banks, regarding
the Maine savings banks. A summary is
here given:
There are in Maine fifty-three savings
