ERRORS NOT LIKELY TO BE RE-

The people are liable to make mis-
takes-often debut we believe it TO
be impossible that the people of forty
FIVE States could be deluded into elect
ing such a Senate as that witch finds 1t
good fun to listen to coarse denuncla-
tons of the President from the lips OF
such as Tinman and Vest. After few
more such exhibitions, instead OF
"scolding like a fish-wife, or. Shakes
peare's expression, "cursing like very
drab." we shall learn to say, like a
Senator" while senatorial English will
become the classical synonym for COM
mon "bil.ngsgate.'

FORCED TO TAKE THEIR OWN
MEDICINE.
New York World.

It is only natural that some of the
representatives of the protected indus
tries of Pennsylvania should resist the
terms of surrender in the matter of tar
iff legislation dictated to them by the
silver Senator's. They have been in the
habit of imposing terms, not of accept
ing them; of debating. not of being die
tated to. 1t must be a shock TO them
10 discover that in the existing cOndi-
ton of politics a vague promise to do
something for silver" does not go. A
mere handful Of Senator's from despised
and unconsidered mining camp States
appears to have not only the will but
the mower to reverse the relative posi-
tions of the silver interest and the tariff
interest. In addition to the customary
campaign contribution they demand a
free coinage bill as the price of tariff
measure. and they insist on receiving
their money before delivering their
goods.

THE PRESIDENCY NOT ON SALE.

If McKinley's managers, as has been
intimated on Republican authority, are
trying to buy the nomination for their
favorite. they are making a prodigious
blunder The American Presidency Is
not on sale. and we have not reached
the point where our highest Office can
be bought. There was a time when
the Roman empire was sold to the high
est bidder. But we have not yet fallen
on such degenerate days.

CHANDLER IN AN UNFAMILIAR
ROLE.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
This anomaly to which we have before
referred in the case of certain politi-
clans contesting for the Presidency is
continued yet further when William E.
Chandler appears in the field as the
champion for pure politics. Chandler
is troubled because he fears that Nc
Kinley is to take the Presidency by
other than proper means-Chandler,
whose career in Presidential politics
dates back TO the winter Of 1S76-77, and
has been followed on consistent line
ever since. The concern for fairness in
political methods. which began with
Quay and Platt, is, in an over impulsive
way. shared in by their associate who
has latest entered the field. They
doubtless smile among themselves as
they contemplate Chambers latest
move.

JEFFERSON THE IDEAL DEMO

To the Democratic party the mem
DRY of jefferson appeals with peculiar
force. To him is due the existence of
popular government, because -4e fought
at all times, and in all places, for the
recognition of the principle that all
governments derive their power from
the consent of the governed. That
principle has been maintained by the
Democratic party to this day The
same differences which caused a sepa-
ration between Hamilton and Jefferson
exist among the parties which through
various changes still contend for the
supremacy of the Jeffersonian princi-
ple and its antithesis. In all the hun
bred years since the party took organ
lied form there has never been year
when close communion with the intel
lectual legacy Of jefferson was so neces-
sary TO party vitality.

The Piper Must be Paid.

While the success of the new loan is
gratifying beyond expression, several facts
are not to be lost to sight. The loan must
be repaid, by the next generation if not
by this, and in the meantime the amount
of the principal and more must be paid in
interest. This is part of the penalty for
maintaining a system which renders such
loans necessary in time of peace. With
in less than three years now, three loans
have been made, aggregating s262, 600, 900,
for replenishing the reserve that the gov
eminent is obliged to maintain for the re-
demption of its notes. This has increased
the national debt bearing interest to SS47,-
600, 600. 1t is not a heavy debt proper
tionally for so large and rich a nation to
owe, but it should rather shrink than
swell. For three years it has been grow
ing at the rate nearly of 800, 900, 900 annu-
ally, and will soon amount to a round bill
lion if the process is allowed to continue
1t will be folly to allow that. Something
must be done to stop the drain on the
gold reserve. Portland Advertiser.

A Big Pile of Gold.

The physical dimensions of the amount

pretended only after little comparative
figuring. The sum rendered was $685.
269, $50 In cubic bulk this would more

seeing the top of it. To be exact, it would
make l,S5S.37 cubic feet, or cube of

double eagles, laid fiat, the distance be-
tween the end coins would be 594, IA miles.
In eagles the distance thus covered would
be 925. Is miles, and in gold dollars A.
SAG. NY miles, or farther than from St.
Louis to London. Stacked in double
eagles the column would reach skyward
80. 81 miles, or in gold dollars 15S 6 miles.
The total in gold coin would build

long. A man would witness three Presi-

ing rather than tempting to the train rob

cradle emphasis at $500, $685. troy
pounds, or :, 04S, 615 pounds avoirdupois.
Stated in avoirdupois tons, the figure is

each, would be required for the load
making five trains of twenty cars each,
with three cars over.

The Little White House,

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The
little white house was built in ''the long
ago. although its builder still survives,
and has already reached the four score
limit of human life. In early manhood,
with ''the choice of his youth he made
the little white house their home Two
children were born to them there. After
while he built a larger home; and there
they reared four sons and four daughters.
After reaching mature years, two of the
sons passed away. After years of toll the
mothers busy hands were folded to rest,
while her companion was left to bear life S
burdens, and the surviving children to
feel the irreparable loss of kind loving
mother. Some years later, one of the
surviving sons joined the loved ones in the
great beyond, and left a childless COM
panion lonely and alone. The daughters
are settled, with the exception of one,
who has been an invalid for years; but,
wonderful to say, has cared for her aged
father in the mean time. Her life has
been somewhat lonely; but no doubt it is
comfort to her to know that she is
smoothing her fathers lonely pathway
down the declvity of life.
There have been number of occupants
in the little white house. The aged and
the youthful have lived beneath its roof,
and called it home. A married couple in
the prime of life occupied it for some
years. Three sons and four daughters
were welcomed to the little home. The
eldest son and daughter died in infancy.
After years of happiness passed in the
little white house the family moved to a
neighboring town. Not long after the two
eldest daughters settled, and after few
short years of married life they passed to
the evergreen shore. Soon after the faith
er's health failed, and after weary months
he joined his loved ones in the better
land. His companion was left with the
three surviving children to mourn in her
great sorrow. The eldest son and daugh-
ter are married; the youngest one remains
single and resides with his widowed
mother.
The next occupants of the little white
house were a young man and his aged
mother. After enjoying life for some
years with his mother and sister he
brought to his little home a youthful
bride. 1t was but few short years before
her health failed, and after months of pa
tent suffering she was laid to rest in the
village cemetery. Her companion now
resides in an adjoining town caring for
his mother.
The present occupants of the little
white house are aged people, who may
soon pass to the great unknown.

To say that Hon. Llewellyn Powers is
the first choice of Knox county Republic
cans for the gubernatorial nomination
would be hardly candid. Knox has sew
eral distinguished men within its own
borders, either one Of which it would
have been glad to see nominated. But
with this frank admission it is only Just
to say that believing in Mr., Powers as
the logical, natural and now certain
choice of the Republican convention and
recognizing his universally conceded and
eminent ability, his loyalty to Republican
principles, his firm and persistent devo
ton to the best interests of the party, his
long experience in State and national pol
itics, his popularity in his own section,
where he has been trusted and tried, and
where he is best known and has been
most honored, it is safe to say that no
county in Maine will give him a more
hearty and unremitting support from this
time on till election than grand old Knox.
