by the warnings which consular rep

OF American goods and the success
of American merchants In their bus

We do not know that the interview
is authentic in which Gov. Pingree
declares that he will run as an indie
pendent candidate in case Mr.. Ferry
is>nominste ted, or that IL 1t Is author
ICED whether he will stand by It long
enough to stay put. But conceding
this points we are not sure that Mr..
Pingree's resolve is not a good thing
for the Republican party. He is the
first man OF prominence in the party
who has ever advertised in advance
his intention to turn traitor to it Ia
case the delegates choose man whom
he doesn't like; therefore it would
be OF much value to know how the
rank and die would like that sort OF
loyalty. 1t would certainly settle
whether Mr.. Pingree is bigger than
the state Republican convention and
whether bis desire for revenge would
disrupt the party, turn the state
over to the Democrats, make Mr..
Pingree the undlsputed boss of the
commonwealth or sink him into
Opaque oblivion. With some knowl-
edge of the history of the party in
this state, and fair appreciation
of its temper under given circum-
stances we are of the belief that Mr..

counter very much as did the vent

There is no comparison between
former editions and this splendid

ed in beautiful colors, on much finer
paper, its 1876 pages are packed with
invaluable information on stor ms,
astronomy and meteorology. It is
illustrated with nearly 200 finest

This superb book would sell any
where for fifty cents, but it costs
only Csc copy, and every subscriber
to Rev. Irl II. Hicks now famous
paper, Words and Works, at 81. 90 a
year, receives this elegant Almanac
as premium. Words and Works Is
"A recog nized leader among the best
family and scientific journals, while
nothing of its kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dol

unique and useful publications. Pro-
