TROUBLE In MAINE.

Mr.. Arthur SewalPs ambition to adorn
the tail end of the Democratic ticket is
nKeiy 70 cost the party in his own State its
lie. Nominations for local and Congress
slonai ofnces were already made when the
chicago convention was held, and without
single exception the several nominating
conventions Endorsed the administration
OF Grover Cleveland; deplored the vicious
and wicked fallacies of the Bryans. BANDS
and Altgelds; renewed their allegiance to
the Democratic doctrine of sound money
and q tariff for revenue only, and in adj
vance fepudiated the very "heresies"
which were subsequently adopted at Chi
cago as ciean-cut Democratic principles.
Now the question is, VIII the Democ-
racy OF Maine repudiate Sewall or its own
platform and It's candidates for local Officer
There was not, of course, the slightest sus-
picion that Sewall would be nominated
for Vice-President when the Maine con-
ventions were held, and so the State
Democracy was pledged in advance to bolt
the very declarations that Sewall will ask
to have made the issue. 1t is clear that
the situation is very much complicated,
but man who is brave enough TO run for
local Office in Maine on a Democratic
platform is brave enough to hack Bryan
and Sewall to pieces, and very small pieces
at that. The chances are the State party
will go right ahead and try to capture
few offices on its own platform and let
Mr.. Sewall paddle his own canoe. How
ever, Sewall is president of a National
bank and is a very wealthy man, which
will enable him to exert considerable lniu-
ence, but of course on a cash basis.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"The wool industry in California looks to
Mckinley and protection TO restore 1t to
paying basis" said D. E. Knight yesterday
at the Lick.
Mr.. knight is the agent for the Marysville
WOODEN mill and its branches in different
parts OF California.
1.-THE Msrysville wooden MILL" he contin-
ued, ais the oldest in the State. 1t was started
In 1857. and is one of the last to continue the
business. In good umes-that is before CIeve-
land went into office-we used to use from
100000 to 1000, 600 pounds of wool a year.
me amount depended some on the quality OF
the goods. This year we will have used, per-
maps, 500, 900 pounds-hardly that. Where
we employed ITO men before, we now have
only about as at work. We are waiting for a
protective tariff to restore fair prices and give
the men chance to make living.
"The country about Marysville has furnished
al the wool used in the mill, but the sheep
have been very much reduced in the last few
years. Owners have been forced TO sell their
sheep IN order TO live, because there has been
no money in wool.
where there used to be 200, 900 pounds of
wool In year, now there are only about 700,-
ooO pounds. perhaps not that much. Think
OF only seven cents pound for spring wool
this year that used to bring from Is to "a
cents! Why, at seven cents there is nothing

imported from Europe. 1t was hfty-six inches
wide, weighed twenty-five ounces to the yard,
and sold in New York for SO cents. At that
rate we couldn't pay our employees over So a
week for their labor. We must get 90 cents to
81 for the American manufacturer to make
living. With Mckinley in Office that importa-
ton OF WOODEN goods made by cheap labor will
stop.

WILLIAM E. RUSSELL.

The sudden death of William Eustis
Russell at this iuncture is in the nature OF
q public calamity. His youth, his char
acter, his political leadership and his
patriotism made his personality one of
more than ordinary importance TO the
country. He was in q particular sense
needed at this time, when the old con-
servative party to which be belonged is SD
rapidly shifting its ground to extreme
radicalism and when the influence in its
councils of young conservatives of brains
and energy is essential TO prevent it from
becoming a dangerous menace to the well
fare of the Republic.
Rejected by the wild convention at Chi
cago, Mr.. Russell was nevertheless one of
the truest leaders of his party and was re-
garded by many of the conservative bust
ness men among Democrats as the man
best fitted to become its candidate for the
Presidency. Young in years, he had al
ready achieved high distinction in poll
tics. He began his official career when
"a years of age as member of the COM
mon Council of his native city of Cam
bridge, and after serving two terms in that
capacity was elected Mayor. In 1888 he was
nominated for Governor and made a cam
paign which, although ending in defeat,
won him the rank of the foremost young
Democrat in New England. In the next
campaign he was again defeated, but by a
reduced majority. In 1890 his triumph
came, and he was elected Governor and
reelected in 1891. In the succeeding year
he declined a denomination and since then
has been the Presidential favorite of New
England Democracy.
His early success was due largely to his
rare gifts as an orator. Before the hostile
audience at Chicago he could do no more
than maintain his cause with dignity.
There was no chance for him to rouse en-
thusiasnl there, for the prosperity of
eloquence lies as much in the ear that
hears as in the tongue that utters it. He
was thus unfairly pitted against the boy
orator of the Platte, who had only to
appeal to a sentiment already formed in
order to accomplish triumph.
Russell at Chicago was also very largely
under the shadow of the New York lead
ers, Whitney and Hill He was too young
and too little known to National politics
to assert himself against the older and
more famous leaders. 1t cannot be doubted
however, that in the four years to come he
would have risen rapidly in fame and po-
iiticel prestige. Democracy now going to
disaster under Bryan will look longingly
to its conservative leaders after next No
vember. and had Russell's life been spared
he would surely have been of great service
to both his party and his country in guild
ing bewildered Democracy back to the
firm ground of conservatism and the con-
stitution

PopULIsTs GET INDEPENDENT.

A new phase to the question of nominal
ing BRYAN by the Populist convention has
developed, which is likely to do a good
deal of damage to the Nebraska mans
hopes 1t has been discovered that the
nomination of Bryan would oblige Popu-
list candidates for Congress and local
Offices all over the United States to resign,
because in nominating the Democratic
candidate the National Poputist party
would be absorbed and its name be erased
from the list of parties. All Popullsts
would then have to support as nominees for
Congress and for local offices such Demo
Gratis as were in harmony with the Chi
cago platform. To be sure Populists
might continue their State organizations,
but they would have TO take orders from
the Democratic Central Committee, so
that there might be no conflict. OF course
it would not do at all to have Democrats
and Populists running for the same Office,
and as the Democracy would "boss
things" the only satisfaction aspiring
Populists would have would be what they
could get out of voting the Democratic
ticket straight.
Tha. such condition of things would
obtain was not suspected until Taube-
neck gave hint of il q day or two ago,
and now there is a commotion all along
the line, which is almost sure to culmi-
nate in a split in the party if Bryan is in
dorsed and the Chicago platform accepted
in lieu of straight-out declaration of
Populist principles. Another thing
though only in the snaps of rumor, is
making some trouble. 1t is limited that
certain prominent Populists have been
promised cabinet positions and diplo-
matte appointments abroad in considera-
ton of throwing the Populist convention
into the NAV of the new Democracy.
But, perhaps, the strongest influence
that will be brought to bear to hold the
convention and nominate straight ticket
is an array of figures which go to prove
that with the gold wing of the Democracy
Withdrawn the Populist is the stronger
party in the States where there are any
hopes of either party carrying, which
really makes the Populists second and
the Democrats third IN the light of posi-
bilities to carry the country, or at least to
throw the election of President into Con-
gress. 1t is argued from this that the
Populists and Republicans ere now, and
will continue to be, the two great political
parties of the country, and that any affili-
alton with the Democracy, except upon Its
absorption By the Populist party, would be
to commit party hsra-kiri right on the
eve OF victory. 1t is also figured out by
some of the Populists that if the election
goes to Congress their party will have
more electoral votes than the Democrats,
which would put them in the position of
obliging Bryan to accept the Vice-Presi-
dency as the price of a combination of
Populist and Democratic electoral votes.
1t is beautiful muddle. and all who want
to see patriotism, protection and prosper
ity prevail are enjoying it.

The sails we see on the ocean
Are as white as white can be
But never one in the hArhor
AS white as the sails at sea.
And the clouds that crown the mountains
With purple and gold delight,
Turn to cold gray mist and yapor
Ere ever we reach the height.
The mountains wear crowns Of glory
Only when seen afar,
And the sails lose all their Wilderness
Inside of the harbor bar.
Stately and fair Is the vessel
That comes not near our beach;
Stately and grand the mountain,
Whose height we may never reach.

Still hold In thy magic veil

what 1t Means.

The Democratic platform wants the income
tax made legal in order that the low tariff may
be maintained. It also wants free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Taken together
these planks mean that Democrats want to
continue to buy as largely as possible abroad
but want to drive out of the country the only
form of money with which they can continue
to purchase foreign goods.
