The Washington Post has the following
editorial article on the Maine election:
a Pointer from Maine The result Of the
elections IN Maine is Just what thought
ful and intelligent people Of all parties
had expected. The figures are q little
larger than some ana "A little smaller
than others had counted on, but the effect
is an overwhelming Republican victory.
And that Is what everybody had looked
for.
As we see the matter. no other consum-
nation was possible The Democratic
party has done nothing to commend itself
10 the respect ana confidence of the cOun-
try. IL has succeeded in COnVincing us
that IL inclines to foolish and vicious leg
islation, and II has frightened COuserVa-
tive citizens In all quarters We cannot
imagine any serious and responsible ana
useful voter i'm the act OF sustaining and
indorsing the avowcd purpose of the Dem
Ocratic leaderS-Mr. " isOn for instance
and are not surprised that the verdict has
been 10 their discredit and reputation.
What Maine did yesterday We expect
the other States in the North. Last and
West at least TO do when their Oppor-
tunity presents itself. We expect, in a
word. that the whole country will rise in
protest against the foolish, miSchleVOuS
and untoWard policy which the cuckoos
the Mugwumps, and the demasogues have
indicated. The country is always inteni-
gent and patriotic, and II can be relied
upon. we think. to accept the Republican
party the safest. wisest. and most
wholesome custodian of the national wei
fare under the circumstances that now
prevail in the Democracy.
The Post has for several years poset. as
an Independent paper. 1t has never foole,.
us. however. for one moment. We have
seen all along that ii was at heart a
Republican journal. believing in that
party's pernicious idea that the Govern
ment ought TO take care of the people
instead of the people taking care of the
Government. We suppose, however, that
after this article II viii throw off all dis
guise and come out openly in its true
character of Republican paper.
We shall not waste time discussing
with the Post whether or not the Demo
critic party has done anything TO COM
mend itself To the respect and confidence
OF the country. 1t has done much to
commend itself TO that respect and conf
dence, but those things which il has done
which should properly commend it 10 the
respect and confidence Of the country are
measures which a Republican journal
like the Post would regard as emitting II
to forfeit that confidence and respect
while We are not sure that the Post does
not glory in all its bad tendencies, such
as its vicious propensity for free silver
We suppose the Post would find some
shadowy ground for distinguishing it's
position on that matter from that Of the
wild men Of the Democratic party. but
when found IL would prove 10 be like the
painters scumble hne-quite invisible 10
the naked eye.

tions Of the South. with view 10 ma
out for themselves, by actual contact
with the people, what are the true con-
ditions regarding the matter of lynchings
of which they have heard so much tax.
Now The Times disposition is to welcome
all strangers who wish 10 come amongst
rs and learn what our institutions and
customs are, and, in conformity with this
turn we welcome these cranks and hope
they will travel from enc end of the
South 10 another and make all the IN
auiries they may feel inclined 10 make
Ia, or
customs in any other behalf. They will
find the negroes responsible for terrible
provocations for lynchings. to which the
more inflammable and light-headed OF
our population are only too prone 10
yield. But they viii find that the great
body OF the thinking and conservative
people of the South deplore lynchng as
one Of the very worst evils and curses
that can befall a people, and that they
are exerting themselves all the time, 10
the best Of their ability I'M an endeavor
to break it up. They will also find that
those efforts are telling especially in
Virginia. and that public sentiment in
the case is rapidly improving here.
Now we don't propose to give up that
very important element in the nature OF
our people, which makes them welcome
all strangers who come amongst them in
good faith. merely because these par
ticuar ones declare it as their purpose
TO find out for themselves what the facts
are i'm relation TO this most reprehensible
practice. They are welcome to learn all
that is to be known Of it. and when they
go back amongst the enlightened and hu-
name men Of earth We hope they Will
"NOthinq eXteuuafo

If they do. the South will have no
reason TO regret their coming.

MILITIA WANT TUEIR PAY.
Threatened Hutiny of AN Illinois Battery
No Money at Command


CHICAGO. Sept. 12.-Nlutiny Is brewing
IA the ranks OF Battery -. A movement
is on foot among the men to refuse 10
put on their uniorms or to drill again
until they have received what the State
owes them for their services during the
recent strike disturbances
Some OF them openly declare that in
case the Governor should find il neces-
sary To call them out again they would
refuse, on the ground that the State had
failed TO fulnll its part Of the contract
thus releasing them from theirs.
IL was with great difficulty thar the
battery was kept from breaking away
and refusing TO obey orders at the regu-
lar weekly meeting Saturday night. The
prevailing discomfort was openly mani

After the drill was over "a committee from
the company called on Captain Russell IN

uation followed. He said at once that II
was impossible for him 10 do ANYTHING.
and that he was rs anxious 10 get his sal

that time the spirit Of discomfort has
been gE-.ing. and II is likely to bear

However wrong many other leaders of
