The Maine Republican Platform.

The Republican party of Maine invite all the
people OF the State who are in accord with the
principles of the following platform to unite in
common course of action
A financial policy not in favor of monometal-
lism, either of gold or silver, as the basis of a
financial SYSTEM but international bimetallism to
be secured by strenuous efforts of the national
power. Now, and in the future all dollars should
be of equal value to the end that suitable cur
rency, abundant for all wants shall secure to all
the peopIe the full results of their labor.
The enactment and enforcement of all laws re-

privileges can be protected in no surer way than
by absolute exclusion from country, of the
paupers, criminals. and diseased of Europe. The
party. therefore, favors the passage of such re-
strictiye legislation will admit to our shores
only those immigrants who have the capacity and
desire to become good American citizens.
A firm and unb, nding foreign policy. which will
prevent the interference of European powers in
the domestic government OF American states and
countries. The party sustains the course of
Stevens toward the people of the Hawaii islands,
and wholly disapproves the un-American policy
of the Cleveland administration in relation there.

Legislation for the benefit of the Union soldiers
of the war of the rebellion, their widows and
children and disapproval Of the present policy of
the Pension Bureau in making such laws, to de.

of the State which have come from temper ance
ana prohibition and We pledge our continued and
hearty support of the enforcement of the prohibit
tory laws.
A tariff for the protection OF American labor
against the underpad and pauper labor of foreign
countries.
The Republican party calls upon all the voters
OF the State TO express at the polls their disap
prevail of the Wilson tariff bill, the main vicious
features of which are maintained and added TO in
the bill now before the Senate, which surrenders
the interests of Northern labor, while it protects
those Of the South, and delivers nearly every in

most hostile rival the Dominion of Canada.

to the Democratic policy which attempts its aban-
donment and repeal
Cordial approval of the course of the Maine del

Blood and iron in Naval Wars.
New York Tribune.l

view OTk 1Iluuue)
The personal factor seems to be dominant
in the war between China and Japan. Only
meagre details of the naval engagement of
Monday have been received, and there are
contradictory reports from Shanghai. If
the Chinese version be correct, the Chen
Yuen, although not sunk, was driven back
into port by an inferior force and was dis.
abled. This would not indicate victory for
that side. We do not know what Japan
csc ships were engaged, or even how many
of them. But it is certain that, so far as
battle ships are concerned, they could not
have outclassad their antagonist, and, since
the battle was fought in Chinese waters
and near one of the chief ports and naval
stations, it is not to be supposed that they
outnumbered them. The Chen Yuen
was, as a fighting machine, decidedly
superior to any ship Japan could send
against her. She had IA inches of ar
NOR with IA inches of backing II
inches of armor on her barbettes and 8
inches of deck plating. Japan's strongest
armored ship, the Flu 500, has only inches
on belt and 9 on battery and no deck plat
ing The Chen Yuen was of 7430 tons
and 30S feet long, while the Flu 500 is of
only 3718 tons and 220 feet long. The
former carried four 80 l-2-cm. and two 10
en-. Krupp guns the latter four 24cm.
and two l7-cm. Krupp guns. The Chen
Yuen's speed was IA IL knots, and that of
the Flu 500 1920 knots. If, instead Of
the Flu 500, any other Japan
csc battleship fought the Chen Yuen
the disparity in favor Of the latter
was still more marked. Japan has, it is
true, three unarmored coast-defense ships,
eith armored barbettes, carrying eighty
heavier batteries than that of the Chen

pire state, with her splendid resources and
500 miles of coas.way, could light on her
feet under the constitution of 1886 and car

republic"
This is indeed an improvement on the
rank treason that figured in the original
Newspaper version of his remarks; but
even here Mr.. Hogg does not appear in
the light of a patriot. Such men are
not accustomed to admit even the pos
sibility of the dissolution of the grandest
republic the sun ever shone upon-much
less to strive to fathom the conditions that
might obtain beyond it. Continuing bis
explanation. Mr.. Hogg says:
II deplored the Presidents action m
sending portion of the United States army
into Illinois without request from, and
over the remonstrance of the Governor and
local authorities of the state. The moment
learned the President had done this felt
grieved, and so expressed myself. The more
1 think of it the less excuse can find in the
act, and the more terrible the precedent ap-
pears to me-" -.. .~: =
Mr.. Hogg is apparently amazed at the
failure of the country to sympathize with
him in his grief in the enforcement Of law
and order in Illinois at time when mob
rule was rapidly subvertiug both. 1t is his
firm conviction that when a crank Cover
nor and lightweight mayor were recreant
in their sworn duty, then the laws
should rest nerveless and powerless
upon the statute books, while the disorgan-
lied elements of society takes control of af-
fairs and revels in the Obstruction of other
mems property. Thank God the American
people are too wise to subscribe to any such
doctrine as this. 1t is more appropriate for
the armies of socialism and anarchism,
than for the sturdy citizens of law-abiding
communities. Continuing Mr.. Hogg said:
"The army is all right in its place. Mis-
use it once or twice and the pillars of civil
government will soon become too weak to
support local fabric of feathers
weight" 1t is, indeed, unfortunate that
cranks like Hogg should rattle about in
high places. The use of the Federal
troops to protect property and maintain law
and order during the big strikes was the
most popular act of President Clevelands
administration and any amount of criticism
from men of the Hogg variety will not
avail to diminish it. r.. !"

Governor Hogs Explanation.

As is very generally known Texas is one
of the unfortunate states of this Union that
is inflicted with crank governor. The
mans name is Hogg, and, to judge
from his career, it is not an inappro-
pirate one. In a recent address to the
Texas Volunteer Guard Governor Hogg
made use of expressions that have called
forth the severest criticism of thoughtful
people il all parts of the country and ire
spective of party. They we're both unpatri-
otto and idiotic. 1t has apparently dawned
upon the somewhat obtuse mind of the
doughty Texas chief executive, after read
ing the comments of the newspapers and
the opinions upon his action expressed by a
number of prominent men, that he was
guilty, in the address in question, of a
most asinine performance. He endeavors
to extricate himself from the unhappy pre-
dicament in which he has been placed by
his folly, by means of q long and win.
dy explanation. But it will avail
him nothing. 1t is one of those
explanations that do not explain
Governor Hogg begins by impeaching the
accuracy of the Newspaper reports of
his speech. This is absolutely essential
If the reports of his speech were correct,
and certainly the reporters could have no
possible motive for misreprese nting him,
then Mr.. Hogg must stand condemned in the
estimation of all sensible men. But a.
Stunning that Mr.. Hogg is correct, and
the reporters present at his much
advertised address, most, if not all
of them, members of the Democratic
party, we're all unDitigated liars, we
are at loss to see wherein his own
version of his speech places him in much
happier light. He said that, after quoting
the prophecies of Lord Macaulay and Her.
