PRIVATE COUNTS.
Them-Case Similar to the Ward One
Case.
[From the lewiston Journal.l

from the Lewiston Journal
Portland Democrats have learned a
trick from Lewiston. The performance
CT the Democratic warden in Ward 1,
Portland, Monday, was just like that OF
Capt. John French in Ward 5, Lewiston,
one year ago.
The Lewiston Republicans carried
their case to the courts, who sustained
them on every point, and by this course
cffectually prevented a repetition of such
tactics; no more private counts of that
sort are tolerated in our ward rooms, but
the clerks of both parties have q hand in
the business. We have no doubt that il
the Portland case is laid before the SUI
preme Court, the vote of Ward 1 will be
thrown out and Mr.. Ingraham's alleg red
election invalidated.

Old frees In Massachusetts,.

There are dozen great oaks at Wav-

of forest that must have existed as far
back as the tenth century, and there is a
larger one at Ipswich that is supposed
to be older. Waverly also has an old
elm that is larger than any tree in the
state-if not in New England. The
state park commissioners will take
means to preserve the trees and make
them public property.

The Presidential Term.

The direct expenses of presiden-
tial election amounts to many mill
ions of dollars. and the indirect
losses to the country in an exciting
campaign by the retarding of business
Is incalculable. A shrewd political
authority. accustomed to handle cam
paign funds. estimates that it cost
the two political parties ST. 500. 600 ia
New York state alone to conduct the
recent campaign.
The lengthening OF the term to
eight years would reduce such ex
penses and losses by one half. 1t
would be greatly to the advantage OF
our diplomatic service in the longer
continuance in Office of experienced
men. and would also strengthen civil
service reform among all classes of
employees and save them from the
temptations always incident in a
greater or a lesser degree to tho
FREQUENT changes in the minor Offices
which follow in tho wake Of presl-
Dental elections. The professional
politicians and the bosses would be
likely to oppose such a change. and
the hungry crowd who are waiting for
federal appointments would raise the
old cry of AN aristocracy of Office
holders" but the common sense of
the country will yet demand the sta
bility and tranquility which would
come from heightened term of Office

Government Telegraph.

There is no more reason why the
telegraph lines should be owned by a
corporation than the mail carrying
business. If the postal service had
not been established before the age o.
monopoly it would now be in the
hands OF a syndicate. and we would
be paying ten cents instead Of two
cents for the privilege of mailing a
letter. If the government owned the
telegraph lines the rates would be de-
creased enormously. This is not mere
supposition. out a conclusion drawn
from history. In 1868 Great Britain
bought the lines of six telegraph
companies doing business there. For
these plants the government paid 8
little more than six times what a new
system would have cost. Then wha1
happened? The service was i'm

TIE GOLDEN CALF.

When the Hebrews took their flight
Out from Egypt's land OF night,
A cloud before them went by day,
BY night fire led on their way;
And when the waters OF the sea
Opposed their march to liberty,
Asunder rolled the flowing wave
And unto them a passage gave:
But when the cohorts Of the foe
Likewise attempted passing through,
The foaming tide was backward rolled
Ger chariots of cleaning gold,
And Pharoah's host was swept away
Like the mist before the dawning day;
Then Israel's band with one accord,
Sang grateful praises to the Lord,
And unto him alone they gave
The glory Of the power to save.
And when the trying hour had passed,
Their praises, lessen1Lg, ceased at last;
Their gratitude to him grew cold,
And then they made calf OF gold,
And, bending at that impious shrine,
They worshipped it as the Divine.
The drama Of the ancient time
Is played anew in many cline,
And we, to-day, but live once moro
The same dlsgraceful record DER.
When traitorous hands were raised in
strife.
Against the nations sacred life,
When Rebsllion's Red Sea wave
Threatened to prove our country's grave
When darkness clothed us like pail,
And hope had nearly fed from all
A fire by night, a cloud by day,
! The Greenback came and led a way
| Through fields unknown, through fields Of
blood,
| It was our guide; Rebellions flood
| Rolled back at its sublime Decree
! And thus it saved our nation free.
But now the traitor of that hour,
The coward Gold claims regal power
Demands our homage at it's shrine,
i AS though it were indeed divine.
And shall we then, like IsraeIs band,
Forget once more the stern command,
Give homage to no God but me-"
And to this idol bend the knee?
Must we submit a yoke TO wear
Such as our fathers would not bear?
Shall tyrant's hateful chains again
Be worn upon the limbs of men?
Nay! rather let us rise once more,
AS did our sires in days of yore:
Shake off the rule of money rings,
AS they shook Off the rule Of kings.
And prove ourselves once more to be
A nation truly brave and free.
Aye! let US rise, but not in strife,
And fight with words for freedoms life,
The ballot now that power doth weld.
Which once alone the sword could yield;
By ballot, then, we'll gain the day,
In contest with expressions sway,
And Gold shall nevermore command
The homage of our ransomed land.
