A GLORIOUS VICTORY.


Maine has spoken, and with no uncertain
sound. Her voters at the polls have pissed
decisive judgment upon Democratic rule.
They have regulated the party of hard
times, and the party of the trusts, and have
declared for the party of progress and pros
perity.
1t 10 doubtful if the most sanguine Re-
publicans in the State anticipated victory
of such sweeping dimensions. 1t was an
avalanche. 1t leaves far behind all prece-
dents in the history of Maine Republican
ism. Not even in the stirring days of the
civil war, nor in any of the years succeed
ing it, did the party ever achieve in this
State victory of such magnitude as that
of Monday. Returns already in, indicate
a Republican plurality of $1,000. and the
indications are that later returns will
only serve to swell the flood tide of
Republican success. Not only is Governor
Clcaves elected by the greatest majority
ever given gubernatorial candidate in this
State; but the able members of Names
famous Congressional delegation. are ac-
corded popular endorsement of unprece-
dented strength, and one of which they
have just reason to be proud.
The Republicans have urques,ionably
elected every member Of the State Senate,
and up to the hour Of this writing the re-
turns do not show the election of single
Democratic member Of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The indications are that Sena-
tor Frye will be returned to Washington by
a legislative vote as enthusiastic and unan-
imous as that Of the party caucus which will
accord him merited denomination. The
county officers all over Maine, for the first
time in the history of the State, will all be
Republicans. 1t is doubtful if a
more sweeping Republican victory has ever
been won in any state of the Union.
The people Of the United States will not
fail to appreciate the significance of this
verdict. tits the onward roll of the great
wave of popular condemnation which,
starting in the Green Mountains of Yer
mont, has moved with added volume and
impetus from the old Pine Tree State, to
continue the great work of engulfing the
incompetent and dishonest Democracy in
other states of the Union. The party of free
trade, of hard times, and of the great trusts
has been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. The people have risen IN their
might to drive imbecility and knavery from
the high places of our national govern
ment. AS goes Maine so goe.
the Union' The news of tn.
overwhelming Republican victory in
the old Pine Tree State, as it htshes over
the wires this morning, will bring hope and
cheer To Republicans all over the land, and
will show to Democrats in other states, who
have grown weary Of their party, and are
anxious for return of the prosperous times
of Republican rule, that thousands OF
their convictions above the bonds of associ
alton, and vote the Republican ticket.

Tank steamers have for some time been
used for carrying petroleum and molasses,
but it has remained for a Louisiana man
to bring the tank into use for molasses on
shore. He intends to handle the sweet,
sticky stuff in much the same way that
crude oil is treated, storing it in big tanks
in his yard until it Is needed for shipment,
when it may be pumped into barrels by a
high pressure pump. The molasses is to
be gathered from the various sugar plan
tations and transported in tank cars.
Whether the new tariff law will upset his
plans remains to be seen.

A United Press dispatch from Berlin an
nounces that the Mckinley tariff almost
killed the mother-of-pearl industry in Aus
tria but that under the new tariff it will be
possible to revive business. The dispatch
adds that the Freissinnige Zeitupg says
"The reduction of duties on gloves and b.
hemian glassware is received thankfully by
Austrian manufacturers" When Presi-
dent Cleveland finds that the bill of sale is
advantageous to Austrian manufacturers
as well as to the American sugar trust, he
will doubtless retract what he has said
against it. He no doubt would have pre-
ferred the adulation of the Dominion Coal
Company to that of the Austrisns, but then
the latter must in the nature of things ex-
ceedingly tickle him.

Bangor. September "A genuine sensa-
tion in Bangor is the arrest of O.. P. Decker,
who for several years has been the repre-
sentative of the Singer Manufacturing COM
pany, in charge of an important Office here,
on warrant growing out of a civil suit for
$4,000 damages brought>b Wallace CLARK
of Lewiston. The charge against Decker is
the alienation of the affections of Clark's
wife, Mrs. Carrie Weber Clark, a western
Maine soprano of considerable reputation
and popularity in musical circles. Some
months ago Mrs. Clark came to Bangor and
sang for a time in one of the city churches.
and the claim is made that her allegiance to
her husband waned from that time. Mrs.
Clark is not generally known here, but
Decker's figure is familiar one on the
streets of Bangor.
He is very stout young man Of jovial
disposition and manners. and his name has
never before been connected with any love
affair. The warrant upon which MI. Decker
was arrested came from Lewiston, and was
served by Deputy Sheriff Patten, who after
placing Decker under arrest gave him into
u keepers charge and allowed him to re-
main closely in his apartments at the Wind
sor hotel. This morning an attempt was
made to have him released on a writ of
habeas corpus. but Chief Justice Peters, to
whom application was made. decided that
the plaintiff should be represented Eat the
hearing, and 1t was continued until Wednes-
day. Those who are familiar with the case,
and the number is not large, promise some
very raoy developments unless the in
terested parties succeed in preventing a
public hearing, which it is said Is now being
attempted.
