and consequently more efficient work
can be done. 1t is altogether best for the
city that the response bility for the gov
eminent should be placed entirely upon
one party. When it is divided it is less
easy to place responsibility for unwise
legislation, if there should be any, where
it belongs, and as a consequence, per-
haps, less care will be taken
to avoid any. As long as
our municipal government is conducted
by parties as now, it is far better for all
concerned that the full responsibility
shall devolve upon one party or the other
and not be divided. For this reason, if
no other, it will be for the advantage of
the city that majority at least of the
mem ers of both boards be Republicans.
The republican tickets in all the wards
are unexceptionable, and there is no
reason why they should not receive the
full Republican vote, and abundance of
reason swhy they should.
Let every Republican go to the polls
and vote the straight ticket.

A difference of opinion seems to exist
as to the legality of splitting ticket by
placing a sticker over the name of the
person whom you do not want to vote
for. The best way, in view of this, is to
take no chances. If you must split a
ticket, erase the name of the person you
don't want to vote for by drawing line
through it and then place your sticker
bearing the name you wish to substitute
in the blank space below the printed
names. But the best way is not to split
at all. Make the K in the square above
the word Repu blican. then fold up your
ballot and give put it in the box Be
sure and mark the X in the quare above
the party designation first. If then you
want to change ticket you may do So.
But the result of not making the x first
Will be very likely that you will forget
to make it at all, and thus lose your vote
altogether.

To-DAY's ELECTION.

The reelection OF Mayor Baxter today
by large majority is as certain as any
thing in the future can be. Practically
he is endorsed by both parties, for
though the Democrats have nominated a
distinct candidate they have done so
confessedly without any hope or expecta-
ton of 'electing him. Their newspaper
men have publicly admitted that Mr..
Baxter administration has been in
every way above reproach, and beyond
criticism, which under the circumstances
is tantamount to saying that it ought to
be continued. No higher encomium can
be given to Mayor Baxter than this uni
yersal concurrence that the affairs of the
city have been conducted by him with
the highest Fl deity and skill. and that
it is for the interests of all parties alike
that it be continued.
But while there is no opposition worth
speaking of to the reelection of Mr..
Baxter, there are indications that in the
close wards an effort will be made to de-
feat some of the Republican candidates
for ward officers. The chief reliance to
make those efforts successful is the
general conviction that Mayor Baxter
will be elected. This, it is hoped, will
operate to keep many Republicans away
from the polls, by impressing them with
the idea that their votes will not be
necessary. We want Republicans to care
fully avoid entertaining any such i'm
preston. Their votes will all be needed
to ensure the success of the Republican
tickets, and not single one of them can
stay away from the polls without en-
dangering some part of the ticket. That
the Repu blicans should have majority
in both boards of the city council is as
important in some directions as that Mr..
Baxter should be reelected Mayor. If
they control both boards there will be
more harmony in the administration,

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Horace Chase, novel by Constance
Fenimore Woolson. The readers of Miss
Woolson's charming stories will deem
superf1uous any extended notice of this,
her latest publication. Many have al
ready made it's acquaintance as serial
IN Harper's Magazine, but the true
eppiure has waited to welcome it now in
its entirety. We find the same delight
full setting as in all Miss Woolson's
Southern stories, and with the Aladdin's
lamp still remaining to the novelist
not yet realist are conjure all those
accessories of boundless wealth and power
with which despite the critics, we still
love to be fascinated in fiction. The
characters show little of the strength
and force so admirably depicted in
1Anne," (the heroine of the novel SO
named), but the analysis is keener and
mole subtle, and, mingled with our
sense of personal loss, is deep regret
that Miss Woolson's recent tragic and
untimely death makes her possibilities
for greater work matter Of speculation

The PRESS attributed Mr.. Moulton's
statement at the banquet of the Young
Democrats that not a cotton mill has
been built in Maine since 1860 to
though tlessness 1t appears, however,
from an editorial paragraph in the Argus
of Saturday that it was made deliberate
" and with full belief that it was true.
Mr.. Moulton's exact language according
to the Argus. was that /" he had been in
formed that no new cotton mill had
been built in this state since 1860" Who
Mr.. Mou1ton's informant was is not dis
closed. We advise Mr.. Moulton to keep
clear of him in the future and seek
knowledge.eleswhere, for if he is as bad
~ informed on other matters as he is on
cotton mills Mr.. Moulton will go wrong
just SO long as he trusts him. But Mr..
Moulton's culpability in this matter is
far less than that of the Eastern Argus,
which twenty four hours after his state
ment had been called in question proceed
ed to give it's endorsement to it by saying
that +" we are inclined to think that Mr..
Moulton's information was correct" A
newspaper is supposed to be somewhat
familiar with the affairs of the state in
which it is published. People have a
right to expect from it something like
accurate information in regard to one of
the great industries of it's state,
especially when it has had plenty of
time to look up the facts. But in this
case the Argus betrays an ignorance of
the subject utterly inexcusable. One of
the largest, if not the largest, cotton
mill in this state was built not only after
1860, but after 1870. We refer to the great
Lockwood establishment at Waterville
with capital of 81, 100000 1t is almost
incredible that "a newspaper published
in Portland. with twenty-four hours for
reflection, could have overlooked or
forgotten this establishment. But this
is by no means, the only establishment
that the Argus has ovtrl )oked. The
Barker mill at Au burn, with a capital Of
$40, 900, was not completed until 1871.
The Farwell mill at Lisbon Falls, capital
$500, 900, were built in 1875. The mill at
SpringvaIe were built in 1877. The
Southland mill at Richmond was not
built until 1851. These were all new
companies. In addition to mills
built by them nearly all the establish
ments existing prior to 1860 have built
new mills since that date. In 1866 the
Sprague Manufacturing company built
30, 900 spindle mill at Augusta, and the
Westbrook Manufacturing company built
one long after that date. This is not a
full list of the cotton mills built since
1860, but it is full enough to convict
Mr.. Moulton and the Eastern Argus of a
very gross misstatement of facts.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Minnesota is not very old State, but
she already had more than SIS, 900, 600 in
vested in her school fund, with 1000, 900
acres of university land yet unsold.
Kansas University is likely to have
plenty of students in time, for there are
1os academies and high schools.in the
State preparing students for entrance to
the University. The number of such
schools was increased by six in recent
week.
H.C. Cary-Curr of Hopkinsville, KY,
has the sword that the ladies of Licking
ton gave to John Morgan, the Confeder-

career, fact probably that prevented
its falling into the hands of the Union
forces, but he wore it when he was
killed at Greenville.
An instance of the rapid growth of
the prohibition sentiment in the Domin-
ion is furnished by the fact that the gov
eminent of Nova Scotia has introduced a
bill in the legislature to order a prohi-
bition plebiscite at the approaching pro-

what the result will be. Practical pro-
hibition already prevails in Nova Scotia.

eight, ten, or twelve years ago, and of

ties no licenses are issued. There is pro-
hibition, therefore, in sixteen counties
in Nova Scotia; liquor can legally be
sold but in two counties and in the one
city, Halifax. This state of affairs in
dicates that Nova Scotia will follow the
lead of Ontario, Prince Edward Island,

bition.

In letter to the PRESS published
elsewhere DR.. S. C. Gordon complains
that we attributed to him in an editorial
paragraph statement that he never
made. The paragraph to which the Doc
ter refers reads as follows:
Doctor sc .Gordon's observations in
Eurspe have convinced him that "all
that saved the foreign manufacturers is
our protective tariff which enabled the
The Portland daily press., 1894-03-05

foreigners to hold back some necessary
articles, and thus prevent complete work
in America and that with free trade
America can control the markets of the
world.
The foundation of this paragraph was
the report of the Doctors speech pub
lished in the Argus the morning after
the Young Democrats banquet. which
was as follows:
He CDR. Gordon) next spoke of his
several trips to Europe, and gave an ac-
count OF his observations there, which
bore out his assertion. All that saved
the foreign manufacturers is the high
protective which enabled the foreigners
to hold back some necessary articles and
thus prevent complete work in America.
With free trade America can control the
markets of the world.
Our paragraph was, it will be seen, a
substantially accurate reproduction of
the Argus's report. We naturally
assumed that it correctly represented at
least the spirit of the Doctors remarks.
great deal OF nonsense in the remarks
attributed to him, but as nonsense was
the prevailing fashion at that banquet,
that fact didn't tend very strongly to
discredit the accuracy of the report. 1t
was easily explainable on the assumption
that the Doctor talked nonsense in
reference to the other speakers, as an
educated man in company sometimes in
dulges in bad grammar to put the igno :
rant persons present at their ease. How
ever, we are glad to set the Doctor right
and absolve him from the charge of
talking nonsense. We hope our esteemed
contemporary, the Argus, which was
originally responsible for putting tine
"arrant nonsense" of which the Doctor
complains into his mouth will make the
proper amends. If it doesn't do it we
hope the Doctor will haste it according
to its deserts.
