The action of the Senate committee
on foreign relations in amending the
Nicaragua canal treaty so as 10 reserve
to the United States authority to de-
fend the canal in any way it may see
fl in time of war, seems to meet with
general approval. There is no reason
to suppose that the amendment will
be objected to by England. In fact,
it cannot very we'll be objected to,
since the amendment is in almost the
exact language of clause in the
treaty under which the Suez canal was
constructed.

dency to extravaganza.

The women of Stonington turned out
10 town meeting last week TO watch the
wheels Of municipal government go
round. The real object was to test the
soundness OF the anti. woman -su ffragi y
argument that mingiing with men at the
polls would be demoraiizing to the
women. The experiment at Stonington
proved entirely satisfactory. So far the
brave women have felt no demorsliz ing
effects from contact with the men. Per-
haps because the men kept their pipes
ia their pockets and buried off the bust
ness without the elaboration to which
smoking is said to be conducive, or per-
hHps because they were in a hurry to get
outside and hight up, hut at all events
I Is recorded OF the town meeting that
the business was transacted quicker than
ever before in the history OF the town.
IL may be merely coincidence that a
temperance candidate for first select man
Was elected.

Presidential Electors Must All Be
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUaRTERs
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEES,
AUGUSTA. Jan. 4, 1890.


To the Republicans of Maine Prior To 1892
two Presidential electors at large. CORES pond
ing to the two United states senators, were
nominated IL stale convention, and the rem ain
ing eleciors CORES pouding to the members of
the United States House of Representatives,
were nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passing of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the Jaw,
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that candi-
dates to be voted for by the voters throughout
the whole State must De placed in nomination
by Convention representing no less a consiit-
uency than the whole State. Hence, ali the
candidates of party for Presidential electors
must be nominated in State Convention, and
have therefore included in the call six electors.

The House yesterday adopted the
conference report on the financial bill.
Nine democrats voted with the re-
publicans; not single republican
voted with the democrats. The
Senate has already adopted it,
and it now merely needs the Presi-
dents signature to become law. Were
nothing else but the Dingley tariff
bill and this financial bill to be placed
to the credit of the present admins
tration, it would go into history with
these two great beaton lights of
economic and financial wisdom shin
ing into the future, making clear the

Representative Brosius, of Pennsyl-
wanna, who has earned a reputation for
level headedness, voiced the opinions
of many republicans when he said:
"There is difference between phi
losopher and statesman. A states
man must keep his feet on the ground
while philosopher may be permitted
to do more or less theorizing. There
fore regret this tendency to yell out
against the republican party at this
time, particularly on the part of some
very prominent republicans. firmly
believe that the republican party is
able to meet successfully any problem
that confronts it, and We ought to be
willing to wait with patience for the
solution of the great problems attend
ing the possession Of our new islands,"
