Mr.. Dinoley's Successor.

The convention of I'd district Repub-
licans held at Lewiston, yesterday, re-
suited in the selection of Hon. Charles
L. Littlefield of Rockland, as the can
didate to be supported at the coming
special election. The choice Of Mr..
Littlefleld has been a foregone con-
clusion for some time. and the Repub-
leans of that district have made no
mistake After Mr.. Dingley's death
many able men in various sections of
the district were mentioned as possible
successors. The district abounds in
sound congressional timber. and a
score Of men were talked of in this con-
nection. any one of whom would have
creditably represented Maine at Wash
ington But from the first the public
sentiment of the district crystallized
around the name of Mr.. Littlefield. His
name was first spoken of whenever
prospective candidates were under dis
cussion. Whatever opposition there
was at first soon disappeared, and the
work of the Lewiston convention was
merely in the nature of a formal ratifi-
cation meeting.
The people of the % district have
named their candidate and in June
they will elect him by a handsome ma
viii mi IT, aIa -,
Congrass,-the whole country will miss
him there. The State has not his equal
to send in his place nor will another
Dingley be found in the next Congress
representing any state. But in Mr..
Littlefield the End district will send a
strong man to Congress, man of ma
tional calibre, who will quickly make
a name for himself worthy of his high
position. Maine has given him high
honors before, and he has always per-
formed his public. duties with fidelity
and with conspicuous ability. He is a
man of irreproachable character; he
possesses the essential qualities of
leadership; and he yields first place to
no man in his unwavering Republican
ism. His speech of acceptance, pub
lished in another column, rings true
and clear with the American spirit
that is needed in all public men of
today.
In going to Washington as the sue
cessOr of Nelson Dingley, Mr.. Little
field will from the first have a promi-
hence very unusual for a new member
But his constituents have nothing to
fear from the observation and criticism
to which he will be subjected In its
light he will grow rather than diminish
in stature, and Maine will have another
honored son to be proud of at the
national capitol.

Results Of American Rule.

The departure of MajorGeneral Guy
V. Henry. the retiring governor of Por-
to Rico, Tuesday called forth demon
stration which was an emphatic en-
dorsement of his administration.
| Crowds of citizens covered the pier
when his steamer sailed, and besides
the military and civil officers of the is
land, were throng of school children,
who added their adieus to those of
their elders. 1t is needless to say that
General Henry must have fulfilled his
duties with rare good judgment to have
secured such hearty appreciation from
the Porto Ricans in so short time.
They are evidently strong believers in
American rule, and find that ii CON
trasts very strongly with the misrule
of the Spaniards. The demonstration
Yesterday should be noted by the Fill
pinos who are fighting the kind of
officers and men thus shown to be
most popular in Porto Rico.
The success of General Leonard
Wood in Santiago and of General
Henry. as Just referred to, are a
great encouragement to those who
believe that our military officers are
eminently fitted to direct the affairs Of
those countries which have come under
our control as a result of the war with
-, ,ol
happy. Porto Rico is being reyolu-
tionized in it's social and business life.
and there is every evidence that an
era is opening for the island such as
has never been even dreamed of by IT'S
heretofore misgoverned people. These
results are what was expected from
our direction of affairs. Similar results
will be achieved in the Philippines
when the inhabitants of that country
stop fighting and go to work. Our mill
tary officers are showing that they are
not only capable of ruling with wisdom.
but also of ruling in such a way as TO
secure the sincere love of the people
over whom they are placed.
The scenes at General Henrys de
parture from Porto Rico are refuta-
ton of the criticisms frequently made
of late by those who are opposed to the
administration. our dominance in Cuba
has already brought great blessings TO
a down-trodden people. and greater
benefits are to come. What better
work can a mighty nation be engaged
in than this? To have abandoned the
countries until recently under the
power of Spain and now occupied b.
the United States would have meant
anarchy. The course pursued will be
approved by all fair-minded men, be
cause it is sure to bring about the up
lifting of the inhabitants of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
