The supreme court fell under the
displeasure of the democratic party
because IL would not declare consti-
tutional a piece of partisan legisla-
ton, and their party vented its anger
by trying to befoul the ermine of the
highest and purest court the world
has ever known. The country re-
sented the onslaught so much that in
the platform this year the democrats
refrained from attacking the court,
nor did they mention the measure
disapproved by the court, yet they
have Endorsed the platform which
advocated the measure and con-
demned the court.

Maine Election Lessons.

National Committeeman j. II.
Manley, in letter to the Lewiston
Journal last week, points out some of
the lessons which he sees in the State
election. There are three things"
he says, (which believe the repub-
ican party must DO" and he sum-
marizes these duties as follows:
First-We must thoroughly revise our sys-
TENS OF taxation III accordance with tile specific
promise made uy the republican state conven-
ton, SO that every kind of properly, OF what
ever nature or description, stall bear its just
proportion of the pubic burdens.
Second-we must insist that the pre- eut pro-
hibitory law shall he strictly and rigidly ell
forced in every section of the State. The peo-
pie have right to any law they desire. They
are the sovereigns. They have, whenever they
had the opportunity, voted overwhelmingly in
favor of prohibition. l agree that many Of
our best men think The cause of temperance
would be better promoted oy local oItion
high license law If the majority of the people
so think, then that should be the law of the
State; and l eau see 10 possible objection to
again submitting 10 the people the question,
which would have to be presented in a PROPOSE
ton to repeal the present constitutional pro-
vision. But uutil that Is aone, and the people
vote to repeal 1t, We have plain duty TO per-
form, aud that Is the enforcement of the law.
The condition to-day is, that we are having
practically license law, because In many, II
not all the counties In the State, 1t is the prac-
tice to indict once or twice II year, every man
who pays to the United States a special retail
liquor dealers tax. He is indicted on that fact
and in ninety mine cases out Of 100, settles and
pays what is demanded of him. This, l admit,
swells the receipts of the county treasury. but
course to pursue.
Third-We must wipe from the statute books
every law " hich contains the fee system. 1t Is
obnoxious /" Tie T. opie. 1t Is unjust. Pay our
officials good, fair, gene Uus salary, and let
the people khow VIAL Is received Tor their

hotels at this place, was burned at II
O'Clock last night. The fifty or more
guests In the hotel had barely time TO
escape. Most of them saved only the
scant clothing in which they fed from
the building.
1t is believed the FIRE originated about
the range In the kitchen. When dis
covered the fire had gained good head
way, and without adequate fire. fig htiug
facilities at hand, it was evident at once
that the building could not be saved.
The fire spread SO rapidly that very
little furniture could be saved. The pro-
perty was owned and managed by A. c.
Savage. The house, though one Of the
Oldest here, had been remodeled and re-
built until it was one OF the most modern
and complete hotels. The hotel has been
doing prosperous business his past sea-
son and its guests were staying later han

The loss on the hotel property is esti-
mated at so 600. There was insurance
OF only 5000 on the building. The loss

Half of the last British loan was
taken by people in the United States,
SO that in place of this country having
TO work to pay interest to British
holders OF United States bonds, the
process is reversed, and the Britisher
is now compelled to send money to
this country to pay interest on his
obligations. This is another con-
dition which MIR. Bryan promises to
change when he gets into power.

Anything to oh ain the Office.

Bryan himself is the first man with
selfish hardihood enough to try, be-
fore public audience, to make politi
cal capital out of the common mis-
fortune Of the coal mine strike.
There has been talk of partizan
inspiration behind it from the first,
bat this has hardly risen above the
breath. The talk Affected the demo-
cratic campaign committee, which
was accused of sending emissaries to
fonelt the strike in order TO create
Popular discomfort and discredit the
administration.
A great strike is such a lamentable
thing, SO fertile of social waste and
human suffering, that sober and
responsible men hesiuated to believe
or repeat this charge. The demo-
cratic campaign gave no open evil
dence of intrigue in the strike, and
men were able to hope that it had 40
foundation. But Bryan comes into
the very crisis of the strike, when it
is trembling in the balance between
reluctant workmen, silent employers
and lmportunate unions, with the
lntlammatory intervention of a reck-
less demagogue. In his speech at
Columbus he assumed jauntily that
the grievances OF the anthracite
strikers were real, and that the
administration is to blame for them
the innuendo represents them as
victims OF trust created and sus-
tanned by the republican party,
though the product they mine has
always been on the free list.
That is, Mr.. Bryan deliberately pro-
vokes and tempts men to sacrifice
employment and risk want for their
families with insinuations ne knows
to be baseless, in the hope to gain
votes. This is his trade, in a general
way. The whole burden of his free
silver politics is to bring workingmen
to ruin in order to put himself in Of
fee. But here is a more specific
case.
What makes the act more repre-
hensible is that Bryan is speaking in
the midst of the soft coal district,
which will be attacked soon with
temptation to a sympathetic strike.
He seeks, not only to intensity the
suffering and want inevitable in Penn
sylvania, but to extend it into Ohio.
The exhibition is the most deplorable
of the campaign.-Ne,o York Com

attention. The Northern Hancock agri-
cultural society is one OF the purely agri-
cultural fairs OF the State--a fair In hich
agricultural exhibits have not been sup

horse-snd As such 1t has the united sup
port OF the farmers of the upper end of
the county. Its exhibits OF produce each
year are larger and better than are found
at some OF the more pretentious fairs In
the State.
This is the eighth annual fair of this
society. 1t has been constantly growing
in favor, not only with the people OF
northern Hancock, but each year hrs
drawn larger crowd from Ellsworth,
Bangor, and towns further removed.
