Stale Treasuryship.
(Pitts6eld Advertiser.

The eastern part of the State will earnest
ly advocate the election next winter of Hon.
+. M. Simpson of Carmel as State treas
urer. By law no treasurer of Maine can serve
over six years and hence a new custodian
of the States wealth must be chosen when
the next Legislature meets. Mr.. Simpson 10
finely fitted for the post. He has served in
both branches Of the Legislature, and is
at present chairman of Gov. Cleaves' coun-
Gil. Since he became member of the
council he had been on the committee to
examine the accounts of the treasurer and
thus made himself familiar with all the
duties. Then again he comes from coun-
try town, and is safe, thorough and conser-
vative. The elements of wild cat specula-
ton are not in his make up and never found
an abiding place there. The Advertiser is
pleased to say a word in favor of Mr. .Simp-
sons candidacy.

Just now the general public 10 the great
est sufferer from the immense coal strikes.
The wheels of industry need the coal for
motive power, the taxpayers are C lled up
OF to support the militia in the field, To-
calities are forced to feed the starving
miners, counties are forced to provide
deputies to protect the property of the mine
owners. Meanwhile the railroads continue
to seize for their own purposes coal in
transit and the strikers by violence are try
ing to prevent non-union men from work
ing in the mines and when this fails to de-
stroy the property. Such a strike is a.
disastrous as a South American rebellion
and in many of its aspects as unnece ssary
in its inception.

1t never rains but it pours is not alone
true OF the troubles of individuals and it
seems that this coming season, which has
none too many bright features, is down on
the programme for an invasion of locusts.
Millions of these pests have appeared in Hi
moi, and are already doing great damage.
These locusts have habit of appearing
once in II years and as it happens
the last time was the year after
the centennial. 1t will not do, how
ever, to attribute this scourge to the holding
OF worlds fairs in this country but to the
habits of the pest. The locust comes forth
from the ground and attaches itself to the
leaves of trees. 1t is encased in thin
she'll, opening in the back from which the
locust later disentangles itself to continue
its predatory existence.

Last summer the Boston Herald was tell
ing its readers that the Democratic hard
times were due to the silver law, and that
when that should be repealed prosperity
would once more smile upon the land. The
Herald very earnestly repudiated the idea
that the Democratic position upon the tariff
question was in any way responsible for the
business depression. That was solely due,
it asserted, to the silver law. In comment
ing upon these claims we said ut the time
that the failure of business to revive upon
the repeal of the silver law would
be absolute proof that the Demo-
cratic tariff programme and nothing else,
was responsible for the hard times. After
long weeks of contest the silver law was re-
pealed; but the business of the country
instead of improving as the Herald,
and other Democratic organs pre-
dicted it would, has grown steadily worse.
The fact has been clearly proven that the
hard times are directly caused by the
effort of the Democratic party, and the
organs who, only few months ago were
preaching the repeal of the silver law as q
panacea for existing ills are now maintain
ing discreet silence.

The heart of the editor-for he truly has
one-is sorely vexed in the springtime by
the lush poetic growth which cannot be re-
jected without adding to the already sp-
palling list Of his enemies and can
not be printed unless he is willing
to sacrifice himself in behalf of the
humor of future generations. True it is
said that the modern paper on which the
daily news is printed will not withstand the
Yavages of time but the editor who is not
connoisseur of the divine affiatus assumes
grave risks concerning his post mortem
reputation when he admits to his columns
the indiscriminate soul outpourings of even
. life long subscriber. This impending ca
lamity is forcibly brought to mind by the
following which the editor of the Tocsin,
published in Hallowell, May 20, 1876,
in an unguarded moment sanctioned.
Years afterwa-d it is brought to
light and the editor of the Tocsin not be-
ing here to offer excuses we would in his
behalf bespeak charity.
