The Passing Of the Whig and Courier.

The Journals exchange table VIII
miss the Bangor Whig and Courier.
For almost three score years and ten,
we have been friends and neighbors.
and the histories of the two papers
have been closely interviewer. And
Bangor and the whole State will miss
the reliable, conservative old paper
which has filed 50 well its place on the
banks of the Penobscot. Newspapers
come and 20. and little heed is paid
to their passing, but this is an eXcep-
ton to the general rule. The wing
has been an integral part of Bangor,
and most important factor in Maine
newspaperdom, for many years. Its
history is a notable one and its
epitaph will be a proud one, worthy
a paper whose columns were always
clean and honest. The Republican
party of Maine owes much TO the Whig
which has never wavered in its devO-
ton to Republican principles. In later
years the fame Of Congressman BOu-
telle has given the paper a reputation
and influence far beyond the borders
Of our State.
AS mentioned above. the histories of
the Whig and OF this paper have been
closely interviewer. Not only have
they always worked together harmoni-
ously in politics, and ever maintained
most cordial relations, but in at least
two instances the same name is asso-
ciated with their editorial and bust
ness management. William H.
Wheeler, who succeeded Luther Sever
ancc's interest in the Journal in 1850,
went t. Bangor, after four years as
editor Of the Journal. and became as
socilJed with John II. Lynde, also Of
this city, as editor and publisher of
the Whig and Courier. A little later
the Bangor paper reciprocated by
sending us john $. Sayward who had
been for many years one of its owners
ana publishers. Mr. Saywlrd, in 1S55,
succeeded James G. Blaine as the
partner OF John l.. stevens on th2
Journal, and for IA years. until after
the Civil War, the firm name Of
Stevens & Sayward appeared at the
h, al Of these columns.
But though the Whig must pass
away, it does not die. 1t is simply Il
journalistic change in the Queen CIty,
made advisable by the conditions of
The limited field. The spirit ana in
liuence Of the old Whg will remain.

was blowing in the streets Of Els

will be no more snow this year; there's
no bottom for it," That night it began
to snow. There were twenty-five DAYS
Of slcighing after that. That snow
went OFF. but on April 10 there came
another snow. and the stage made

politically. Does he not know that
the Reps could not nominate all
their men, and that because they
did not nominate the ones that the
Dems wanted, that they did mo-
get the wrong man?
He says that Net was the only
one that could nigh George. Oh,

have read the history OF Europe
during the middle ages, and the ac-
count there given Of prosecutions
caused by differences in religious
belief has filled me with horror.
We have no such record in China.
Jews, Mohammedans, Buddhists
have lived there peaceably side by
side. 1t is only when indiscreet
Christian missionaries 60 to ex-
tremes and excite the people that
they ever have any trouble. They
say: "Oh, you Confuciansl You
are all wrong. You worship idols.
Tear them down." This is idle,
and does not appear to the Chinese
as consistent, for they know that
Roman Catholics have idols in
some shape in their churches. The
missionaries should go about their
work more quietly if they hope for
success. No one ever heard Of the
Chinese rising against the Moham-
medans, although Mohammed was
a conspicuous enemy of idols.
1t seems to me that Christians
often forget that Jesus Christ was
an Asiatic and a Jew. The religion
that He founded has gained most Of
its adherents in Europe and Ameri-
ca, and yet some western people are
not very kindly disposed toward
Asiatics.
Christianity owes most OF its con.
verts in China to the fact that it il
more alluring than any religion we
have there. The idea of future
life and rewards for the righteous is
tempting to many. Confucius
teaches no such doctrine. He was
