the administration of President Cleve-
land. In his supreme self-eonseouence
| he has seen fit to administer the govern
ment of this vast country, in its intricate
and varied interests as with lone man
power" plan upon which the people at
large have set the stamp of their dlsap-
proval. Mr. Cleveland's unwillingness

J sentatives of his own party in Congress,
! has cost that party its defeat at the popu-
lar tribunal in dozen great states OF this
Union.
1t would of course be presumptuous for
us to attempt to decide between these two
equally accomplished and loyal doctors
of Democracy, but candor compels us to
say that the weight of evidence appears
to be on the side of our esteemed Port
land contemporary. Almost every one OF
the distinguished Democrats who are
under the load either are or have
been inveterate haterS of the President.
There is German, he is buried beneath
20, 900 majority. There is no question OF
his attitude toward Cleveland. The two
hate one another cordially. There is
Hill Hill's fight against the Presidents
nominees for Supreme Justice shows
how dearly they love one another. There
is Brice-he was instrumental in the
concoctiun of the tariff measure which
the President pronounced perfidy and
dishonor. There is Blackburn who was
the bitter opponent of the Presidents
financial ideas. All these gentlemen are
in moribund condition politically con-
sequent upon Tuesdays election, and
they have all been Cleveland haters.
There is something on the other side to
be sure. Brother George Fred Williams
who is cuckoo did not emerge from the
Massachusetts canvass with much glory,
and Cleveland's letter to the New York
Democracy commencing ~your excellent
state ticket did not fire the Democratic
heart with great amount of enthusiasm.
Then Tammany Hall which has never
loved Cleveland was the only band of
Democrats outside of Mississippi that
came out on top. Yet the bulk of the
punishment fell upon men who have been
professional Cleveland leaders Possibly
this was due to the fact that they
happened to be nearer the magazine when
it exploded than were the cuckoos, and
indicates no deliberate intention on the
part of the people to blow up the former
rather than the latter. But the fact re-
mains and the burden of proof is upon
the Bangor Commercial to show that it
was mere happening not indicative of
any definite intention on the part of the
people. To a Republican newspapers glanc-
ing over the ruins it looks as If the only
spared Democratic monument was the
statesman of Buzzard's Bay. He is good
for a year and four months more.

The Czarina's Mirror.

A curious legend is related in an
English paper concerning the Russian
custom which prescribes that the new
czarina must dress on her wedding morn
before the historical wedding table
which belonged to the Czarina MART
Ivanowna. This precious piece of fur
niture was a gift from her imperial
fanoe, and the legend relates it is the
most wonderful nuptial gift known.
The young Princess Maria was very
pleased and proud of it. She was also
very beautiful, loved and was adored
by her future husband. On her wedding
day, while her ladies were dressing her
before this table, all at once the precious
mirror did not reflect the superb beauty
dress, nor her magnificent gems. Instead
of that rapid vision passed over its
clear surface, scenes of bloodshed, strug
giles, misfortune, in which appeared the
figures of her husband and of sons and
grandchildren destined to wear the
heavy crown of the Muscovite succession.
The poor girl was terribly frightened
and tainted at the sight of these dread
full scenes, and to which future events
gave tragic confirmation. Maria
Ivanowna, to whom this revelation was
one Of advice and instruction, expressed
the desire that the golden toilet table
should be used by each successive czarina
on the day Of her bridal, with the in
tention, perhaps, that if the vision
should again reveal the mysteries of the
future to another bride it would serve
as an admonition that earthly happiness
is not to be attained here below, even
on the steps of throne.

The Passing of Philip II.

YEARLY and slowly the great process
sion passed onward from Madrid to the
Escurial, the short distance of some 20
miles occupying no less than six days.
Lying helpless in his litter, Philip LII,
the ruler of such vast empire and the
absolute master of SO many millions of
people, was being painfully carried to
the immense structure-palace, tomb
and church which he himself had
raised, and where he trusted that his re-
mains might repose when he had shaken
off mortality.
1t was IN June, 1898, almost ten years
to day from the first sailing of the
armada from Lisbon, and now how
changed the position Still, indeed, was
Philip king of Spain and Portugal. Ma
pies and Sicily, duke of Milan, lord of
the Philippines and Spice islands, of
territories in the Western Indies, and of
the empires Of Mexico and Peru, but on
every side were indications of the inse-
curity Of this vast state The war
against England had been miserable
failure, and the long contention with
the Dutch provinces wss every day be-
coming more disastrous for Spain, while
the huge load of debt which Philip had
incurred had sunk Spanish credit to the
very lowest depth. The defeat of the
boasted armada appears to have been
the turning point in Spain prosperity.
and from 1888 the decline had steadily
set in, and little by little the power OF
the once great monarchy was dwindling
into nothingness, while ruin and bank
ruptcy stood like menace over the
throne, for but two years before, in all
edict complaining of the extortion OF
those from whom he had borrowed such
enormous sums, the king had iniqui
tously decreed that all payments of in
terest on the debts of his government
were to cease. He cancelled all his bonds
and obligations and seized the revenues
mortgaged for the payment Of either
principal or interest. And from that day
his credit ceased. Temple Bar.

Who did it, what did it? Did the
Democrats bolt their party ticket to re-
buke the Democratic enemies of the Presi-
dent or did they flop because they were
dissatisfied with the administration of
Mr.. Cleveland? These are questions upon
which there appears to be a sharp differ
ence of opinion among our esteemed
Democratic contemoraries Our esteemed
Portland contemporary, the Argus, holds
opinions which it sets forth in these
words:
The saD.e causes which produced the
striking result last year were operative
this. In reality the election Tuesday
were not strictly a Democratic defeat
that is, not defeaU of the Adninistra-
tion of President Cleveland; for that was
not on trial. Nobody believes that Mary
land and Kentucky are Republican States,
or that the great majorities in Ohio
and New York are normal The elections
are a revolt against the Senatorial cabal
which has done so much and worked SO
maliciously to embarrass and discredit
the President, to break the promises of
the party platform, and to dampen the
hopes of the masses of the Democracy.
But our equally esteemed contemporary,
the Bangor Commercial takes this view
of it:
1t is plainly evident that a great many
Democrats all over the country have be-
come more and more dissatisfied with

The Republican party will take new
courage from the result of the election
and will redouple their efforts to elect
their next nominee for the presidency.
They will however, fail in this, as the
people are not yet ready to again entrust
them with full power in national affairs.
Lewiston Sun.
How do you know, esteemed contem-
porary, that the "people are not yet
ready to again entrust the Republicans
with full power in national affairsf"
Your assertion is of positive kind and
of course you have some conclusive reason
to give for it. What is it? A year ago the
people swept away Democratic control of
the popular branch of Congress and sub
stituted Republican control by an over
whelming majority. They also placed
the Democracy in minority in the SEN
ate, and went as far as possible towards
giving the Republicans a majority of
that branch. This year they have COM
pleted the latter revolution, and estab-
lished Republican control in the Senate
for many years to come. That is to say
in each year the people have gone AS far
as they could toward placing the Repub-
licans in full control OF the government.
Yet. esteemed contemporary, you are per-
fectly certain that they intend to go no
further. Suppose the thing were reversed.
Suppose it was Republican House that
had been turned out last year and Re-
publican Senate that had been turned
down this year, do you think Eyou would
hold the opinion that the people were not
ready to entrust the Democracy with full
power in national affairs? Be frank now
and tell the truth.

MEASURING THE YACHTS.
The Vigilant Easily Placed in the Dry
Dock-The Defender
was Late.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. 1G.-The yacht
Vigilant was dry locked in the Erie
basin today. John Hyslop, the yacht
clubs measurer, was early on hand and
boarded Xigilant. He had long talk
with A. Willard, after which he began
preparations for the measuring. The
tightening of the boat was then begun.
Defender was delayed by fog, and in
stead of reaching the dock at high tide,
arrived too late to be locked at same
time as Vigilant. She was placed on
the docks at the next high water. The
boats measurements will not be made
public.
After Vigilant had been relieved of the
extra weight which will not be ON board
during the races of next week, she looked
much lighter. Her white sides were a
good bit further away from the water
and at least q foot of the bronze bottom
could be seen. She seemed to be about
a foot and half less on the load water
line than when she lay at anchor at Bay
Ridge, and it would not be surprising if
she got more time from Defender than
has been estimated

CORBETT MARRIES AGAIN.
Jessie Taylor, Otherwise Known as
Vera StanWood, is the
Bride,

New York, Aug. 15.-The statement
is printed here that James J. Corbett
and Jessie Taylor, known as "Vera STAN
wood" were married at Asbury park to-
day. The wedding is said to have been
private.
Vera Stanwood, the handsome, dashin.
and INSCRIPTIONS woman who stole th'
affections of Champion Jim Corbett from
his wife, is an Omaha girl, and it was
in Ninth street resort that she started
out on the life which she has since fol-
lowed The woman's right name is Jessie
Taylor. At the time of her birth her faith
er was a switckman in one of the Omaha
yards. Her mother and sister still reside
in North Sixteenth street in that city.
From her earliest years she was not sat
isfed with the fare which the switch
mans wages provided, and in looking
for Jchance to better herself she found
position in g downtown restaurant AT
this time she gave abundant promise of
the beauty which subsequently enslaved
the fighting champion, and she acquired a
list of admirers long enough to turn her
giddy head.
After a few years Jessie became ac-
quainted with Lon George, who was driv-
ing a hack in Omaha at that time She
finally married him. After three or four
years Of married life, during which a
child was born. they disagreed and sepa-
rated. The woman claimed that it was
ON account of the cruelty of her husband,
but, however that may be, she graduated
from the married state into life of
shame. Omaha grew too slow for her
and she went to Chicago, where she
adopted the name of Vera Stanwood
1t was while Corbett. Jim Hall and q
party of game sports were doing the
town that the champion pugilist met
Vera She afterwards accompanied him
on his theatrical tours and was in Wis
consin with him last winter.

Ncgaunee, Mich. Aug. 15.--[Special]-
e. Brastad, operator of the Winthyn
mine, this morning submitted the proposed
new scale of wages to his men. The aver,
age pay for miners will be $3.50 per day
trammers will be paid $1.45, surface Ia.
borers $1.25, engineers and fremen S1GJ
and brakemen $1.45. The increase over
former wages is from 10 to % per cent
Brastad is the only mine operator at
Ishpeming who has yet made known the
new scale. 1t is not positively known
that the proposed scale of the other com,
panies will correspond with that sub
mitted by Mr.. Brastad, but is generally
thought it will.

Complaining.

Ishpeming, Mich, Aug. 1G--[Special.]
The mine agents today announce that
the general officials of the different COM
panies have concluded to pull the pumps
and allow the workings to fill with water
unless the men decide to return to work
within the next few days Definite in
structions as to the time when the fires
will be pulled from under the boilers are
expected from headquarters today or to-
morrow. The local managers will begin
preparing for the stopping of the pumps
today.
The business men of both cities are
now beginning to squeal. They realize
that the time has come when they must
prepare for the worst. They are being
crowded by the wholesalers and their
stocks are getting low. A meeting of
the merchants has been called for to-
morrow morning for the purpose of tax
ing steps against the disaster which is
bound to follow in case they continue to
sell their goods on the credit plan.

The remainder will return, and trouble
is at an end. No concessions were
made by the company.

the internal troubles there are settled.
No advices have been received concerning
recent Engagements. The. state depart
ment has received from Minister Tillman
at Quito a dispatch dated July 20 which
shows what the situation was at that
time. In it Minister Tillman says that
there are no indications of an cary settle

tons of that Country
Alfaro. who reached Guayaquil on the
18th or 10Th of June was still there with
an armed force amounting, as claimed by
bis friends, to 1000 or 5000 men. The
government force at Quito was estimated
at 2OOO. which it was thought might be
increased to 1000. Alfaros pans and his
strength were not definitely known at
Quito when Mr.. Ti.lman wrote, but he
says that it was admitted on all sides that
his advance to the capital, few weeks
Iefore would have been easy.
