The Edna Dips Her Colors to the Glide

The yachts Edna and Glide met down the
bay last Saturday afternoon and had a
friendly match. Though not race over a
regular course the conditions were such as
to conclusively settle the question of supre-
macy, and Mr.. Roix and all on board the
Edna readily admit that the Glide is the
better boat The contest was of interest
from the fact that while the Edna is fifteen
years old the Glide is a new boat of Defend
er model and much the larger boat. The
Edna might have done better with more
; balast-some having been taken out day
or two beforehand certainly would have
done better, when it blew hardest, without
her gaftopsail, which was a backsail and
cramped the boat; but this would not have
affected the result. The Glide outfooted
and outponted the Edna, while the latter
had the best of it in running in stiff breeze.
The Edna was out for a sail, was beating
down the bay against a southerly breeze,
and when a little below the Camp Ground
and heading for the Islesboro shore the
Glide ran down and hauled ON the wind on
the Edna's weather quarter and short dis
tance astern At first the Edna drew away,
but this was due to the fact that the Glide
was luffed frequently so that her headsails
shook, but although this lessened her head.
way somewhat she was steadily climbing to
windward. The wind freshened and quite
a chop was encountered and both conditions
seemed to favor the Glide Finally she was
given rap full and went by the Edna to
windward and close aboard. AS the yachts
neared the island and got into smoother
water the Edna seemed to be regaining
some of her lost ground. The Glide here
Stacked off sheet and ran for the Camp
Ground and had long lead when the Edna
was put about after her. The breeze was
fresh and the Ednas gaftopsail now got in
its work and the old boat gained quite rapid
ly on the modern flyer. The yacht Carlin
came along just then bound to Belfast, and
was outrun by both the local yachts. They
seemed to be getting a spinnaker ready on
board the Carlin, but did not set it. When
near Murphy's Point, in smooth water and
with fair breeze. the Edna and Glide had
another contest in windward work This
time the Glide handsomely fell in TO lee
ward and astern, and again she worked up
to windward and overhauled and passed the
Edna. Then it was proposed to try running
again, with an even start but the Edna did
not fill away quickly enough and the Glide
had quite lead. The wind was light by
this time, and there was no noticeable diff
ference in the speed Of the boats, neither
gaining on the other. This ended the sail
ing, which was conducted on both sides in a
sportsmanlike manner. For the first time
the Edna has met her superior in wnGward
work and she dips her colors to the speedy
Glide

cred one of the ablest and most brilliant
speeches of the campaign in the City Hall,
Brewer, last Thursday evening, holding
his audience spell bound from start to
finish. Mr. Smith drought down the
house" and caused laughter and applause
by his comparison of the Democratic
ticket to the description of the mixing of
an American cocktail by Frenchman.
He said they put in a little Democracy to
make it sweet, a good deal of Populism
to make it sour, little Bryan to make it
strong and little Altgeld to make it
weak, little Watson to make it hot-red
hot-and a little Sewall to make it cold
so cold that shiver ran down their backs
from Maine to California, even in those
hot days in July.

Vermont has spoken in no uncertain
tones, The plurality of $4,000 in so
small State, gain of 10000 over 1892,
shows conclusively that many sound
money Democrats voted the straight Re-
publican ticket. Their example will be
followed in other States. The issues are
not merely those of party but involve the
integrity of the nation and the fundamen-
tai principles of free government. In such
contest party lines will be ignored and
the patriotic American people will set the
seal of condemnation, as Vermont has
done, upon the Chicago platform and
candidates.

The Maine Campaign.

The Popocratic candidate for Governor of
Maine complains because the Republicans
are rushing so many of their eminent cam
paign orators into that State at this time
but we are unable to see that he has any
right to find fault with this state of things
The Popocrats had an opportunity to do the
same thing, and they declined to avail them
selves of it for reasons best known to them
selves. The difference between the Maine
Republicans and the Maine Popocrats ap-
pears to be that the shrewder heads among
the latter organization arrived at an early
appreciation of the fact that they were going
to be whipped out of their boots, and they
regulated their campaign accordingly. Bos-

Now, as nearly everyone is aware the bills
OF the August term are small and indicate
but little, as compared with those of the
December and April terms. The figures of
those terms We're published in The Journal
shortly after the terms, and showed a much
greater proportion in favor of Mr. Norton's
administration. But, as usual, the Demo
Gratis who are making this talk do not know
what they are talking about. 1t is an entire
ly different matter they are trying 10 get at,
and one that when fully shown up will prove
boomerang to the Democrats who use it in
the campaign against the Sheriff. The law
provides that Deputy Sheritfs shall pay to
the Sheriff a percentage of certain fees re-
ceived by Them and that the Sheriff. after
deducting therefrom his salary, which in
Waldo county is S40G, shall turn the remain
der of the commission over to the County
Treasurer. AT the end Of the first year Sheriff
Norton found new state of affairs to exist
his commission from the deputies did not
amount to so much as his salary owing to
the rigid economy practiced by the deputies
Mr.. Norton brought the matter to the atten-
ton of Judge Foster, who was then holding
court here, and His Honor at once drew an
order in favor of Mr.. Norton for the balance
of the salary after deducting the commits
sions. If our Democratic friends find any
consolation in that they are welcome to it,
In addition to the above, when Mr. Norton
became sheriff the excess of liabilities over
resources of the county were 81 ,27329, and
at the end of his first year the balance in
favor OF the county was s., 557 S3, gain of
1881. u, caused principally by an economi-
cal administration of the Sheritf's depart
.nent.

The Boston Herald devotes great deal
of space of late to correcting the mis-
statements made upon the stump by
George Fred Williams. 1t began recent
editorial by saying it could not undertake
to correct all of his misstatements, but
ought to be good authority on the subject,
for it was one of Mr.. Williams most en-
thusiastic supporters before he Topped to
Populism and free silver. Not long since
the Herald convicted Mr.. Williams of
shamelessly garbling a quotation from
Dr.. Otto Arendt in support of his asser-
ton that ''the United States can, alone
and unassisted, lift silver to parity with
gold at the ratio CT sixteen to one.n Yet
Dr.. Arendt gave this graphic warning of
the evils Of Independent free coinage:
But if the silver party when flushed
with victory proceed to coin unlimited
quantities of silver at the old ratio, with
ont any kind of international arrange
ment, it will, it is true, bring about a
temporary rise in the price of silver, but
that will be followed by depression sever
er than any yet known. The economic
conditions in America would be disturb
ed, gold would be withdrawn and would
60 to strengthen the gold party in Europe,
while the cause of silver would be serious
ly discredited
In another editorial the Herald discusses
the colossal egotism of Mr.. Williams at
some length, and concludes by saying
that ''when mans egotism is carried so
fan as to raise him above a consciousness
of being under obligation to the rules of
morality, it has reached perilous point
indeed That alone would seem to be a
fatal blow to his presenting claims to con
tidenee as a public Instructor

LONDON, Enc, Aug. %. The Globe
referring to tie political campaign in the
United States, expresses the opinion that
the avoidance of ''spread eaglesm'' by
Maj. Mckinley and Nh W. j. Bryan may
be accepted as ''sign that the Monroe
doctrine, as advocated by Messrs. Cleve-
land and Olney, no longer dazzles Ameri-
can minds.''
Our esteemed London contemporary is
respectfully reminded that the Monroe
doctrine is not an issue in this campaign
and cannot be made an issue, as all true
Americans are of one mind concerning it.
The redeeming features of Cleveland S
Administration are the stand for honest
money and in support of the Monroe doc
trine.

COUNCIL OF TIE RED MES.-At Mi

COUNCIL OF TIE RED MES.-At Min
neapolis, Mimi, Thursday, the Great
Sun Council, Improved Order of Red
Men, spent most OF the day in secret
consideration OF the new ritual. a
committee report recommending that it
be not be printed in any language but
English was adopted after lively dis
cusson by vote of y to 81. Houston,
Texas, withdrew as candidate for the
next council, and Nashville, Tenn,
took its place. The vote was again
postponed. The proposition to change
the degree of Pocahontas, which was
established for women, so that only the
wives and sisters, daughters and
mothers OF Red Men may take the de-
gree, was favorably considered. A
number OF former Red Men now resi-
dent in Canada have made overtures to
the council looking toward the intro
duction of the order in the Dominion.
This move, however, is not favorably
received in the council, its members de-
claring that the order is distinctly
American, and cannot enter Canada e1-
cept in case of annexation.
The Grand Council adjourned yester-
day after having decided to hold their
next meeting in Philadelphia.
The ritual was partially adopted, and
the rest referred to the council of great
chiefs. Changes in the ritual of the de-
gree OF Pocahontas was deferred until
the neEt council.
Yesterday afternoon the newly-elect-
ed great chiefs were formally raised TO
the stumps.
