A New YORK paper has let the cat out
of the wallet. The gold advocates of the
east think they will control southern
politics with money. Hear the New
York Financial Chronicle:
"Tbere are elections in many states this
fall in which free silver coinage will be
the prominent issue. If candidates or
nominations made favoring that view
could be defeated, it would have a mate
rial and very salutary effect upon pub,
lie opinion. The seats of several United
States senators are being contested IN
the south that might possibly be gained
for advocates of a stable currency by a
little iudicious assistance on the part OF
the north. WE CANNOT VOTE THERE,
BUT WE CAN SEND MONEY"
The people of the south are not float
ers, and the money power will find that
they will not sell Their convictions and
sacrifice their interests for few dollars.
They will take great pleasure, however,
in rebuking, at the polls, this SANDER
against their manhood and honesty.

THE new civil rights law passed by the
New York general assembly is con-
tempti6le piece of legislation. A bloody
shirt waver named Mllby secured the
passage of a bill requiring hotel proprie-
tors, restaurant keepers, managers OF
public amusement resorts, the conduc-
tors of all public places of service OF
amusement, to give the same accommo-
dations and privileges to cOlored as to
white persons. The penalty for each
violation of the law was fixed at ninety
days imprisonment and the payment of a
fine of $500 as damages to any aggrieved
person of color to whom such equal SER
vice was denied. If the New York folks
want it that way this newspaper has no
objection. It's disgusting proceeding,
though.

Hill on Conventions,

Possibly you don't appreciate the fact
that consultation is absolutely necessary
before convention is hold. Public senti-
ment toward the different candidates out
lines itself pretty well in advance. But if
the delegates should go ahead without any
guidance and without consultation among
leading men they would make foolish mis-
takes oftentimes. | recall a convention in
my own former city, Elmira, which was
allowed to run itself. 1t was not an i'm
portant convention, and we tried the ex-
pertinent of letting the delegates act eli
tircly on their own Judgment and without
prior comparison of views. When the con-
vention was over they brought me the
ticket. found thai five of the seven men
named lived in one ward. OF course the
ticket was defeated.
Now, ! do not. believe altogether in
what is known rs the geography of poll
tics, but it is absolutely necessary that the
candidates on ticket shall represent diff
ferent parts of the state-that they shall
not be chosen all from the same section.
The people who vote would resent the TACT
that all the honors of the convention had
been bestowed on one part of the state. If
the nominations are distributed to differ
ent parts of the state the ticket will stand
a better chance of getting majority of
the votes cast. That is not politics; 1t is
sense-From Senator Hill Talks" Bos-

A BURGLAR IN THE HOUSE.
The Course of Action, Under Such Circam-
stances, One Man Suggests.

If should wake up at night and find q
burglar in my room / know exactly what
l should do, but l am not certain that 1
could tell anybody else what to do, since
circumstances alter cases. / should try to
disable the burglar with any weapon Mt
hand before l thought of using a revolver
should dislike very much to shoot before
l knew positively that had q desperate
criminal before me who would not stop
short of great violence TO me to help him
self TO escape. In these days burglary Is
done good deal by young men and tramps-
who can easily be overcome or driven
away, and don't think il would be pleas
ant after killing p man to have the knowl-
eoge that you might have overpowered
MN and saved your house the stain OF
blood.
but In the case of women and weak or
leenie persons, the circumstances are COM
plcatcd. think the only thing u woman
or feeble man could do would be to lie still
until a chance could be obtained to give
the alarm.
VI course, where q burglar attempts yio-
lenco | Go not believe that the assaulted
person should hesitate an instant about
shooting but even then think the shot
fired should be intended TO disable rather
than to kill.
My whole idea of the subject is that tho
strong man should try to ovcrpower and
disable the burglar without killing him,
at the same time giving the alarm, and
that the weak man or the woman should
either lie still and as soon as possible give
an alarm, or should try only to disable tho
burglar if il became necessary to use a re-
volvcr. think it is n very good plan to
keep some light, serviceable weapon at
hand ut night after going TO bed. A well
directed if not very heavy blow from II
strong club would usually disable tic
toughest burglar.

If half the yarns told of our ancestors
are true, we moderns of Maine must be a
pretty tame set Of fellows politically An
old timer was telling The Journal the
other day of a pioneer doctor who lived and
died in Penobscot town. "Cute, old DR.
b. was, l can tell you, and mighty long
headed too. He didn't say great deal,
but he was a tremendous worker Them
was Whig and Democratic days, and the
doctor was Democrat He run every
thing to suit himself and made the cold
chills run down the Wings back in more
ways than one. 1t used to be common
saying about him that if he had Whig for
a patient any time within three months of
lection day, the man always remained too
sick TO vote until after the election had
gone by" Probably the Democrats were
also speedily cured when their votes were
needed.-Lewiston Journal.
