The Portland city election returns
show that the vote for mayor is as fol-
lows: Ingraham dem. 4302; Baxter

In Portland a 81 coud election for one
alderman and two councilmen last week

as yet no definite steps have been taken.

ThiStleS Instead of Clover.

Slr-There was financial depression
in the time of Jackson Democrat. J
During the administration of Martin
Van Buren (Democrat) the greatest de-
preston prevailed. 'Shinplasters'
were issued for currency, and mobs
broke into flour and provision stores.
There was trouble in the time of James
K. Polk (Democrat) During the time
of Franklin Pierce (Democrat banks
failed all over the country, and every
bank in New York City but the Chemi-
cal stopped. Factories stopped work
all oyer the country, crowds of unem
ployed gathered in City Hall Park
clamoring for bread. When Cleve-
land (Democrat) was elected the coun g.
try was prosperous. Labor was en-
ployed everywhere and people happy.
In four months all this is changed to
the conditions prevailing under his
Democratic predecessors. Why can
workingmen not see that every Demo
cratic victory, gained only through
their help, bring misery upon themY
Instead of Giving in clover under
Grover" they live on thistles. w. S.

LincOln,s Laughter,

He had great laugh-a high, musi-
cal tenor-and when he had listened to
or told story which particularly
pleased him he would walk up and
down the room, with one hand on the
small of his back and the other rub
bing his hair in all directions, and
make things ring with Laughter.
Lincoln has great fame as story
teller, and yet the truth isn't half told.
First and last, he told thousands and
tn ousands of stories. He was we'll
spring of ancedote, Yet, under all his
humor and all his laughter he was ten
der, sensitive, romantic, oftentimes
said. Heappeared hard and practical,
and yet no man ever lived who needed
and crave sympathy more than Lin
coin. He was strongly social in his
nature and liked people rather than
places. Like all men of the highest
courage, fearing nobody he hated
none. He would oppose man to the
death, but would never hate him

Times.

Why The Mills Shut Down.

That part of the Hon. Thomas B..
Reeds speech in which he explained
that the Sherman law was not alone
responsible for our present condition
should be read and reread. The point
brought out is not particularly new
one, but it may be termed a central
element that must not be lost sight of,
because it will be the next burning
question the country will have to face
after the repeal of the Sherman law.
Says Mr.. Reed:
when mills shut down they shut
down because they must ascertain by
Democratic legislation what the basis
OF their future manufactures is to be.
II their basis is to be competition with
foreign countries upon less favorable
terms they will be obliged to meet those
less favorable terms by reducing the
cost OF manufactures themselves. The
cost of manufactures, of the finest kinds
especially, is largely in the pay which
is given to laboring men. As the gen
tleman from Mississippi Catchings has
very cahdidly and at the same time
very accurately said, the wages of la
Dor have been steadily rising in this
country until they have reached
point unexampled in the history of the
world up to this time.
And under Democratic admins
tration with a SO called tariff reform y
policy wages will as certainly decline.
The question of wages is all there is of
the tariff question. Time and time
again the Press has pointed out that
with Europen rates of wages the m anu
facturers of the United States fear no
foreign competition. We have honestly
and earnestly labored in season and
out to instill this one essential fact into
the minds of our wage earning voters.
The Press fears it is palmer to most
minds now. But it is too late.

A Sample o. American Dash.

Given the circumstan &c, in no other
country than America would the wheel
have ever been built. 1t took three
years to complete the Eiffel tower
Even here it took two years to build the
st. Louis Bridge, Both were compare
lively simple work. The builder of
the Ferris wheel had not only to con-
struct work equaling these, but in
such a way that it would move, and,
moreover, move perfectly-a far greater
problem. %.
On December 2S every scrap of iron
and steel used in the wheel was pig. "
On June 81, less than six months later,
2,2OO tons of this pig" converted into
a revolving mechanism as perfect as
the pinion wheel of an Elgin watch,
began to turn on its 70 ton axis, and
has been turning, without let or him
drance, without creak or crack, ever
since.-From Engineer Ferris and His
Wheel, September Review of Re views.

The Gratnitons Lie.

s. The gratuitous lie isnot only doubly
immoral, but doubly dangerous. 1t
always takes on an unnecessary ella.
boroteness sure to attract attention and
lead to deep seated distrust ON the
hearers part The iron bound, cop-
per fastened, indestructible lie has as
little detail as possible. Its safety
lites in its magnificent simplicity, not
in its circumstantial development. 1t
is told only under the pressure of neces-
sity, and it is framed so that a single
statement covers the whole case. "But
such lie requires a high degree of
talents" Surely, and very fortunately,
too, for the world can only be conduc-
ted on basis of 90 per cent truth to 1
per cent of falsehood, and an increase,
be it ever so slight, in. the percentage
of successful liars would disorganize
commerce and society to an alarming
extent-Kate Fields Washington.

tary Lamont, who has had more real
business experience with his New York
car lines than all the rest of cabinet
combined. The President and Post
master General are lawyers. Mr.. Nor
ton is farmer. Mr.. Gresham and Mr..
Carlisle have been politicians all their
lives, while Hoke Smith s business wis.
dom is limited to depriving maimed

earned pensions. AS for actual bust
ness experience or knowledge of finan.
ciering, the whole team is lamentably
deficient. Perhaps, therefore, it is as
well that they have not attempted to
add to the existing Congressional mud

confounded. OF a truth, the first gath

been calculated to inspire confidence

are purblind. The next POLITICAL Ides

The only vessel that rode safely to
her anchors during the storm was the
bark. Two of six of Sanford Ross
dredges, Nos. Sand 7, are on Mcqueen s
Island, about half way between st.
Augustine Creek and the Lazaretto
Creek. The dredge Tommachichi is
overin the marsh, high and dry, having
been blown from Venus Point across
Long Island. The bark Oremus was
blown from her dock across the river
to the Savannah side, and afterward
was blown over the river again, and is
now high and dry on shoal opposite

LITERARY NOTES.

The Review of Reviews for Septem-
Der is a number of fine variety and
timeliness. 1t epitomizes and synchro-
nizes the whole planet for the month
of August, 1893. 1t discusses the none
tary crisis, the silver debate, the tariff
outlook, the Bering Sea decision, the
French attack on Siam, the progress
of the Home Rule bill, the politics of
the European continent, various mat
ters at Chicago and the World 3 Fair
and hundred other timely subjects,
the whole number being profusely
illustrated with portraits and pictures.
A sketch of Engineer Ferris and his
great wheel is singularly readable
and attractive article, and Mr.. Stead
contributes most noteworthy char
acter sketch of Lady Henry Somerset.
There is an illustrated review of the
fascinating story of Joan of Arc, the
inspired Maid of Orleans and a group
OF papers on the. silver question by
professors of the University of Chicago.
THE Leading Articles of the Month";
are notably well selected, while the
Record of Current Events" gives one
a summary day by day of the remark
able course of the recent monetary
crisis, and the cartoon reproductions in
the Current History in Car cature' y
are uncommonly entertaining.
