strongly Democratic. went with rush
to the Republicans. The big mill towns
Of Biddeford and Waterville, repudiated
the tariff changes of the Democracy
with n rebuke so powerful ms TO be
almost overwhelming No Iauper
wages in theirs.
Names warning to the Democracy
yesterday was a most emphatic one.
1t is little too early to present care
ful analysis of the figures, but the tre-
mendous majority must not be entirely
attributed TO big Republican increased
vote, or big detection from the De-
mocracy TO Republicanism, pleasing as
would be this conclusion.
While many Democrats voted the
Republican ticket, more stayed at home.
Thousands of Democrats dlsgusted
at the fearful blows leveled against
Northern industries, and by the infa-
nous scandal and foreign policy Of the
Democracy, sat quietly at home and re-
fused to vote at all. The falling off of
the Democratic vote explains "A large
share of the tremendous Republican
gain, although this does not in any way
detract from the big Republican victory
for it is an acknowledgment of distrust
and disapproval of the Democracy by
the rank and file of its voters.
And so it will go all over the union,
North. East, West and even South.
The sole issue is the tariff, and the
country repudiates the work of the
Southern theorists and the Sugar Trust.

ADVERTISING SUGGESTIONS.
The News Follows This Advice.
NO. VIII.

Tell the exact truth as to circulation,
for upon the number OF copies delivered
or mailed to patrons, as a rule, depends
the value OF the space. No publisher can
afford to indulge in Misrepresentation or
positive falsehood. He may deceive many
people for season, but he Scan
not fool all the people all the time"
The end of the circulation liar i" ought
not to be, and probably is not, different
from that of the common everyday vio-
lator of the commandment. II is affirmed,
do not know with how much truth, that
it is difficult to obtain correct statement
OF the circulation of a newspaper; but I
am inclined to believe there is more i'm
agination than fact in this assumption. /
cannot conceive OF any better
reason for sworn statement of
circulation than that every manu-
facturer should attest to the purity
and strength OF his manufacture under
oath, or that the clergyman in the sacred
desk should invoke the aid of magistrates
to convince his parish ioners of his sincerity
in presenting the tenets of his faith. For
myself, resent tf,e- -ftnratatieH- PITT upen
newspaper publishers by the demand for
statements under oath. An advertiser
who purchases your goods has right to
know Of their quantity, and to know
whether or not he is receiving full
weight. The law against fraud ought to
obtain in advertising contracts as in the
sale and purchase OF any commodity in
which full count or weight is an essential
element in the contract. You require the
paper maker to furnish 1000 pounds for
ton, and you are no less bound to furnish
1000 newspapers To bona fide subscribers
and patrons, il 1000 circulation be the
basis OF your contract with the advertiser.

Lothrop's Opera House.

The audiences at Lothrop's Opera Hous,
yesterday appeared to be cool even Il
midsummer reigned outside. The play
was of the kind to superinduce comfort
for it pictured wild mountain life in
North Carolina and brought to view
characters that have been made promi-
nent in tales of the lawless life of moon
sinners.
"A Mountain Pink" has many things tC
recommend it. While its dramatic mater
ial is old, its story is interesting and
attention Is maintained because the vari-
Gus characters are we'll presented. 1t tells
OF the stealing OF an heiress by murder
er and the rough life of the little one as IL
grows to young womanhood in the moon
sinners camp and the final restoration
Of the stolen girl to her rightful position.
"a Mountain Pink" begins action when
Sincerity Weeks, the stolen child, has
grown to young womanhood. Ethel
Tucker played the part of Sincerity Weeks
with proper appreciation of its meaning.
She had the good taste not to caricature
the part and presented it so that it seemed
entirely probable and not mere stage
picture, unreal and insincere. She gave
Sincerity a pleasing atmosphere.
The other parts were competently pre-
sented by Clifford Dempsey, j. Francis
Kirke, Orson Dunn, Perry Brigham, Jack
Tucker, Thomas w. Carroll, NJ. Dorson,
Miss katharine Angus, Miss Eva Will
Jams and Miss Dolly Bardell.
Following the play series OF IL living
pictures rounded out very pleasant en-
tertainment. The same bill will be pre-
sented all the week.

Westminster Theater.

A varied bill is offered this week at the
Westminster Theater by the London Bellies
Spectacular Farce Comedy and Vaudeville
Company. 1t has some excellent and
novel features as well as some well worn
and familiar ones. 1t Is worth seeing by
amusement seekers who have an in
clination and liking for variety including
aefebatio skill, dancing, singing and the
numerous other variations entering into a
vaudeville program. The entertainment
begins with q burlesque entitled "Mrs.
Patty's Arrival Home" showing roof
garden and New York and Brooklyn by
night. The scene is well painted and Of
fective. The roof garden allows
the stars of tho company TO
perform several good spocialties. This
is followed by a remarkable act by Arto,
the Oriental wonder; the Las Vegas FAM
lily in novel and laughble extravaganzs
called !" La Dsnse de Venture;" Matte
and Clara Balford in acrobatic and gro
tesque songs and dances; Campbell and
Shepp in a back breaking, rollicking
Dutch act; the three Buttons
in grotesque dancing and con-
tortion exhibition that ia worth
seeing; Maud and Annie Gordon in serio-
comic songs; Meeker and Mack, acrobatic
song and dance performers, and Mackie
and Walker, robust vocalists, in several
character songs. The program concludes
with the burlesque entitled "The
Crust OF Sobriety," which gives OPP
portunity for several young womon
in tights to show their shapes,
the comedians to be as funny as they pos
sibly can be and the whole company to
have frolic winding up with burlesque
fire scene that terminates a performance
good enough to engage attention during
an after aoon or evening. 1t will be worth
while TO drop In and see the "London
Bellies"

jump on These Chaps.

The arrest OF couple of advertising q
agents OF labor union, upon charge OF
blackmailing merchants, brings to notice
a practice from which many shopkeepers
suffer. Such agents are constantly going
to stores and factories for the purpose of
extortion. They say that the union or
tho assembly is getting out hand book,
or souvenir, or list of their business
friends, and demand an advertise
ment for 1t. They threaten
to blacklist or boycott the deal
ers who refuse to accede to their de-
mands, and they are in some cases able to
carry out their threats TO some extent.
We know OF a case i'm which the black
mailing agent OF union was thus able to
get over $1,000 worth Of Advertisements,
and to get the money for them. too,
though probably not one OF the adver-
tisers ever realized the slightest advan-
tage from his advertisement.-New York

A " Mushy f" Letter.

Cieveiand's great and good sister," why
isn't Sanford a. Dole, an American born. the
white President of the Republic, his great
and good brother" instead of merely his
great and good friendY" The royal and frater-
nal style of address wouldn't have been half as
ridiculous in the second case as it was in the
nrst. Almost anybody but Mr.. Cleveland,
though, would have been content to have
addressed Lliuokalani as "Yonr Majesty"
and SO have avoided the embarrassment OF
a mushy prece lent when the time came to
address President Dole.

THERE are at least two good sides to
every question that amounts to anything.
There are arguments for mechanics |
filtration and for natural filtration that
are perhaps equally as good. But one
of them muss have u sum total of advan-
tages in excess of the other. 1t is the
business of the City Council to find out
which one that is and the City Council
evidently proposes to do it.

BATTLE OF SHIPS
Chinese and Japanese War
Vessels Destroyed.
Havoc Wrought BY Modern Floating
Batteries in the East.
BY The Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The reported battle
between the Chinese and japanese fleets
on the YRlu River seems to be correct. At
least one Chinese vessel and three Jap
Rnese war ships were destroyed. Both sides
claim the victory. The Japanese are sup
posed to have accomplished their object
In preventing the landing OF Chinese
troops in Corea which were to reinforce
the Chinese army operating against the
japanese. On the other hand the Chinese
point TO the destruction of the three
japanese war ships and claim to have de-
feated the japanese fleet.
Dispatches received at Shanghai from
Corea announces that the first battle be-
tween modern ships OF war has taken
place on the Yalu River, north OF the
Gulf of Corea and that both sides claim a
victory.
The Chinese squadron, Il appears, was
covering the landing of large force of
troops destined TO reinforce the Chinese
army operating against the Japanese in
Cosea. According TO one account the
Chinese succeeded in landing the troops,
but in an engagement which followed
with the japanese fleet the Chin Yum
or the Chen Yen, OF the Chinese fleet, was
sunk, and the Chao Yung and the Yang
WEI are reported TO have been run ashore.
One other Chinese warship and three
japanese ships are said TO have been lost.
Admiral Ting, the commander OF the Chi
nese northern fleet, and Colonel VonHan-
nekin, formerly aide Damp TO Viceroy
ii Hung Chang are reported to have been
killed during the engagement. Colonel
NonliannelSin will be remem bered as the
German officer who was ON board the
transport Kow Shing when she was sunk
by japanese cruiser with the loss OF
about 1000 men.
Another report says that the japanese
succeeded in preventing the landing of
the Chinese troops and therefore claim a
victory. 1t is added, however, that the
japanese lost four warships and that the
Japanese feet was compelled to retreat
after having suffered heavy loss in killed
and wounded.
The Chinese feet, IL is said, has returned |
TO Wei Hal Wal. The second report SAYS |
that Admiral Ting and Colonel Won |
Iiannekin were not killed but were
severely wounded. No further details of
Importance are given.
