STATUE TO Mr.. BLAINE.
The Work to be Accomplished by Popular
Subscription.

The articles of association for the
memory of James G. Blaine, propose that
the work shall be accomplished by ''pop-
ular subscriptions" in other words, by
the voluntary contribution of the people
of Maine, without regard to party, or
religion, or sex, or color, or age, or any
other condition, in such sums. small or
large, as may be within the means and
inclination of each Individual donor.
The true significance and value of such
testimony will consist, not in the sums
given, but in the willing feeling which
prompts the giving: not alone that the
money required for the work shall some
how be obtained, but that the people of
every degree the poor and the rich alike,
shall share in the privilege and oppor-
tunity of helping, be it ever so little, in
its worthy accomplishment. 1t will be
the highest tribute to our revered states
man that the monument to be dedicated
to him shall testify to the love of the
many, rather than to the larger ability,
however freely bestowed, of the COM
paratively few.
This sentiment found expression in the
meeting at the capitol last Tuesday even
ing in the earnest and eloquent addresses
of Gov Cleaves and other eminent gem
tlemen, and in the articles of association
unanimously adopted which make pro-
vision, through a County Subscription
Committee, for a thorough canvass in
every town and city Of the state. The
gentlemen chosen for this duty are among
our best known and esteemed citizens,
and there can be no doubt they will give
to it's discharge the fullest measure of
wiling and efficient service.
The Office of Corresponding Secretary,
SO important in connection with the
work Of the committee, could have found
no one more admirably equipped for all
its requirements. than Hon. Nicholas
Fessenden, the Secretary Of State. The
choice of Hon. Edwin G. Burleigh for
the responsible Office of Treasurer, will
equally command approval and conf
dence.
1t remains only for this Association,
SO excellently organized and differed,
to push the work committed to it's charge
to speedy and successful consumma-
ton. III.

There is a popular notion that the ex-
clusion of Republicans from taking part
in the count in Ward One was possible
by reason of the Australian ballot law,
and that before that measure was passed
such thing was impossible. The idea is
shared in, too, by some newspapers. Such
notion is entirely erroneous. Such a
thing was not only possible before the
Australian ballot law went into effect,
but it actually occurred in the city Of
Lewiston at an election held under the
old system of voting. A year ago at the
municipal election in Ward in that city
not only were all Republicans shut out
from participating in the count, but also
from watching the voting as progressed.
The fact is that the Australian ballot
law made no provision in regard to the
count whatever. That was left where it
has always been since the. adoption of
the constitution, in the hands of the
selectmen in towns and Of the wardens
of wards in cities, It has always been
competent for the selectmen of towns to
insist on counting the vote without as
sistance and without being watched.
The practice has been to admit represen-
tatives Of both parties to watch the count,
but it has been a mere matter of cour-
tesy. The law never required git. Such
has been the practice, too in the wards of
cities, but the wardens in this city GER
tainly, and probably in other cities, have
always had the power to exclude ev-
erybody from taking part in or watching
the. count, unless the majority of the
voters in that ward upon formal mo-
ton to that effect voted that man from
each party should be chosen to assist.
The Australian ballot law changed moth
ing in this matter. 1t was no more legal
for the warden to exclude all persons
from the count on the first Monday of
March this year than on the first Monday
of March last year; and it was no less
legal for the voters on formal motion to
choose two persons to assist him III the
count.
The trouble with the Australian law
is that it did not remedy the defect in
the old law, and compel the warden to
admit a member of each party to watch
the count. Its sin is one of omission
and not of commission.

OFFICE SEEKERS OUT OF SORTS.
They Get very Cold Comfort from Presi
dent Cleveland.

washington Letter to New York SUM-
Men of all parties are giving a great
deal of attention to Mr.. Cleveland's
words and acts. There is no doubt that
they have set people to thinking, with
many doubts and perhaps not little
concern about the future It could not
be otherwise when Democrats, young
and old, are told as they are by the
President: "You who have been in Office
once need not expect to be appointed
again. You who are asking for unex-
PRED terms, may as we'll go home; it is
uncertain what I will do when the time
comes for considering these things
No one has any doubt about
the Presidents sincerity and ear
nestness. His manner and words,
if forcible, are respectful, deliberate,
premeditated. With this for the fact,
men naturally begin to think why it is
so totally different from what they ex-
pected. Having ascertained what will
be the Presidents course, they, as
general thing. are considering what their
own shall be- This may be said to be
what Democrats in nine cases out of ten
are now doing. Thus the President said
to some Michigan Democrats in almost
SO many words: "Why don't you go
home and prepare for the elections
which are soon to come off in Michigan,
instead of waiting around Washington
for offices, which few, if any of you will
get in any event?" When Mr.. Cleveland
said that, the Michigan Democrats did
not talk back, but left for home, most of
them. But what they will do in the forth
coming elections is an open question.
With some, it is safe to say, that just at
present elections will possess little inter-
est for them. With others, it is known,
there was strong inclination to 60 home
and attend to the elections, but not al
ways in the way the President must de-
sire. ''Why not" they said, 'let Mr..
Cleveland know how we feel through the
elections?" Democrats are going home
in numbers every hour. Ultimately there
will be elections in all the states. How
those Democrats who are now returning
home with this peculiar experience will
act there is no telling now.

The joy of the Hon, Arthur Sewall
over the Democratic success in Augusta
tremendous. 1t is the handwriting
on the wall, says Mr.. Sewall, it presages
Democratic victory in the State next
year, it shows that the Republican party
is crumbling, &C., &c. Probably the
chief purpose of Mr.. Sewall's shouting is
to direct the attention of the administra-
ton to Maine and get few offices for
the faithful. Of course Mr.. Sewall
knows perfectly well that the result in
Augusta is of no more general political
significance than the result in Lewiston.
In each of them the party that is usually
victorious was defeated. purely from
local causes.

The proposition to change the method
of marking the Australian ballot which
the legal affairs committee is said to
have received with some favor is a bad
one. All the voters have used the Aus
tralian method twice and many of them
three times. They have become there
fore familiar with the present system of
marking. fit be changed now they will
have to familiarize themselves with an
other system, and a big crop of plumbers
will be inevitable. There are no serious
defects in the present system of marking
and such as there are had better remain
than to incur the risk of the confusion and
mistakes that would spring from radical
change.

About the only argument offered on
behalf of the listing bill was that the
farmers wanted it. That may be true,
but the evidence on that point is far
from conclusive. Certain oranges have
adopted resolutions in it's favor, on the
strength of ec parte statements, but that
is far from convincing evidence that the
farmers generally want to subject them
selves to the labor and perplexity of
making up the complex list that the bill
requires and to expose their private
affairs to their neighbors as they surely
must if they comply with the provisions
of this measure. We are inclined to
think that great deal of the alleged
sentiment in favor of this bill has been
worked up on the general and vague
representation that in some way the bill
would relieve the farmers and put the
burden of taxation on the cities, and that
comparatively few farmers fully COM
prehend the burdens the measure will
impose upon them.

The campaign for the New York col
lectorship appears to have begun. The
most prominent candidate is apparently
Mr.. W. A. Poucher. and the Democratic
organs seem to be generally in his favor.
But the New York Post alleges that
Poucher is unfit because some years ago
he whitewashed Judge Westbrook who
was accused of some discreditable pro-
ceedings in the interest of Jay Gould.

candidate for governor of Massachusetts
this year. A year ago his candidacy was

He made an excellent candidate and it is

not the result of error on the part of the
voters rather than intention.

Protecting Vegetables In Winter

1t does not seem to be generally known
that light in the winter time is the chief
agent in the destruction of vegetables
otherwise hardy, and especially light
shining brightly on the plant when
frozen. A cabbage or turnip that is ex-
posed to the light rots readily, but will
keep perfectly sound if but slightly COW
cred with earth. This principle should be
remembered when collecting vegetables
together in large masses for protection.
1t is often customary to cover such
sets of vegetables with some light ma
terial, such as leaves, hay or straw, the
result of which generally is simply to
form harbor for mice, which are much
more destructive than the frost itself.
Water has, of course, to be excluded,
and if the vegetable plants are set close
ly together and covered with boards to
keep out the rain, it is generally all that
is required. Water must be excluded,
or else rotting may result. For this pur-
pose it is good practice to invert vege-
tables. The cabbage especially must re-
ceive this attention. They are almost
always inverted when placed together
under boards or covers for protection,
and, in fact, where no covering at all is
used they will keep perfectly well when
inverted. Monthly.
