The prompt action of the House in vot-
ing down the Teller resolution Will go
a long way to neutralize the bad effect OF
the Senates action. The House is closer
to the people than the Senate, ana lts
views are, presumably in any case, aid
certainly in this case, m ore in consonahce
with those of the people than those OF the
Senate. The issue which was presented
to the House by the Teller resolution
WAS the issue of free silver.g Some of the
SO called gold Democrats of the Senate
who were anxious to keep in line with
the majority of the Senators of their
party, and at the same time to square
themselves with the sound money con-
stituencies which they represented, have
sought to make 1t appear that the Teller
resolution was simply a declaration of
the possession of a legal power by the
government. 1t was Doubtless that, but
it was something more. With the attach
ment OF the provision for the free coinage
Of silver it was not merely a declaration
that the government possessed the light
to pay the bonds in silver but also that
the exercise of such right would not
be in derogation of the rights of the bond
holders-in short a declaration that it
was morally as we'll as legally right to
pay the national debt in deprecated
currency. That being the case its passage
by the Senate impugned our national hon
or and good faith. 1t exposed us to the
charge of being ready to avail ourselves OF
technicality in order to get rid of a part
of our obligations. Tt consigned us to the
category of sharpers and swindlers. For
tunately there was branch of Congress
through which the people could repudiate
the action of the Senate, and relieve them
selves from the stigma which that body
had placed upon them. There will doubt
less be great hue and cry from the free
silver adherents because they were not
permitted to air their views at great
length in the House. But debate was
not the thing wanted. The good faith
and honor of the country had been i'm
pugned by body protesting to represent
it's citizens What was wanted was a
quick and sharp rebuke from the popular
branch. Action, and not talk, was the
demand of the hour, and it is action, and
not talk, that the country has got. The
great majority of the people will COM
mend the promptitude with which the
House dealt with the issue, and it's man
ner of dealing with it as well.

We are so accustomed to the modern
facilities for getting about that we take
them as matter of course. and it is
only when they are suddenly cut off, as
they were yesterday, that we realize how
indispensable they really are to us. Let
the blockade of yesterday continue for a
week and our market would be bare of
many Of the necessaries of life, and there
would be privation and want in conse-
quence. In these times we rely almost
entirely upon railroads to bring to US the
necessities of life A blockade like that OF
yesterday gives US glimpse of the help
less condition we should be in if suddenly
and for some time deprived of their as
siet tnce.

By deciding to open the caucuses ct A
O'Clock in the afternoon the Republican
city committee have deprived every Re-
publican in good health and In the city
of all reasonable excuse for not turn
ing out and expressing his preference in
the selection of candidates. If they dc
not turn out now it will be because they
are Indifferent and do not take the inter-
est in the management of the affairs of
their city whichIit Els the duty of every
citizen to take. There. is good deal of
complaint about bosses and ring politics,
some of it doubtless well founded. Now
there is only one remedy, and that is ac-
tive interest OF the part of every citizen
in the selection of officials and the deter
mination of policies. AS rule the So
called bosses succeed simply because a
large number Of voters don't care.

Those numerous individuals who think
the climate is changing and that there are
no such storms now -a-dnys as when they
were boys, when they survey the drifts of
yesterday will perhaps revise their opin-
ion. The truth probably is that there is
no material difference between the oil
mate of Maine now and a hundred years
ago, or in the amount of snow which
falls. Such great storms as that of Mon
day night have never been common in
Maine, and they were no more common
hundred years ago than now. A glance
at Parson Smiths diary will show very
mild winters a century ago and
very severe ones. Take period Of ten
years now and similar period hun
dred years ago and compare them. and
they will be found to be very much

The sensational despatch from St.
Petersburg to the London Telegraph is
exceedingly important, if true. But what
initiates greatly against its truth is
the fact that it is sharp contradiction of
u statement made by the CzarSonly a
few days ago. That statement was, will
be. remembered, that the differences be-
tween England and .Russiaisin regard to
affairs In the East had been reconciled
and that peace was assured. Another
consideration also initiates greatly
against Its truth. England is vastly
stronger on the sea than Russia
and a conflict between them over
China would be almost exclusively a
naval one. Hence Russia is not likely ito
precipitate conflict at the present
time.

About three weeks ago, a rather
dilapidated looking young colored
man, who said he was from North
Carolina, struck town and proceeded
to make earrangementsfo for lecture(?)
at Linwood, upon 1.-The Origin of the
African race. He gave his name as
Willie Pettieford, and proceeded to
canvass the Borough for the sale OF
tickets among the people of his own
race. He sold quite number of
genesal admission tickets, and some
for preserved" seats, as he termed
them. Mr.. Levi Mitchell, a hard
working and respectable man gave
him entertainment, and WILLIE re-
paid his kindness by stealing his
gold watch, some collar buttons,
clothing and other articles and then
skipped" forparts unknown. Justice
Abbott has telegraphed to different
places, where it is thought willie"
may be, and it is hoped he will be
captured. If he should be brought
back here now he would meet with u
very enthusiastic welcome from the
people he robbed and deceived.
