NAMES OF LAKES IN MAINE.
Peculiar and Wonderfully Constructed,
but borrowed from the Indians.

Peculiar and Wonderfully Constructed,
but Borrowed from the Indiana.
The mention in press dispatch from
Pennington, Me-, describing a drown
ing accident of Lake Mooselookma-
guntic recalls to mind the fearfulness
and wonderfulness of the aboriginal
titles with which some of the charming
inland waters of the Pine Tree State
are burdened.
Those who urge the retention of the
Indian names of American localities
and natural features have much reason
on their side. Certainly those who have
substituted for them modern English
names have seldom been happy in their
selections. But such aboriginal local
names of lakes and mountains as Med
dybemps and Passadumkeag and Sisia'
dobsis Bashaheegan, Umbacooksus,
Mollechunkemug and MooselOOkma-
guntic can command unreserved admi-
ration only from enthusiasts. They are
undeniably cumbersome and hardly
likely to strike euphoniously on the I'M
prejudiced ear. Possibly they are re-
plete with poetic suggestions, but they
don't convey them very clearly. Theo-
dore Winthrop had the poet soul In him.
but he strove in vain to get poetry out
of the names of some Of the Maine
lakes he loved best. MooselOokmaguntic
suggested to him only the effort OF an
Indian hunter, with an exceedingly i'm
perfect command of the English Ian
guage. to tell how he had unexpectedly
shot moose, and Mollechunkemug sug-
gested to him nothing more romantic
than the thought that the lake had been
named by some woodman after his
inamorata, his short-faced Mary. his
Molly Of the chunky mug.
Now and again the residents of locaii-
ties afflicted with such names as these
petition the powers that be to change
them to something better fitted for Or
binary daily use and are therefore
abused as vandals by all cultured per-
sons in other parts of the country. But
it is possible that the most cultured per-
sons would sympathize with the van
dals If they had to summer and winter
with Mollechunkemug and Mooselook-
maguntic and the rest; had to say all
that every time they were asked
whence they came or whittier they were
going; had painfully to write 1t all out
every time they sent forth letter or
telegram Democrat

Egyptian Telephone Poles.

The company operating a large teie-
phone system in Egypt has experi-
enced great difficulty in securing suit
able poles. The climate Of the country
is so hot and dry that good timber TO
use for a pole line for the transmits
sion of an electric current does not
grow, and timber imported from other
countries dry-rots and becomes use
less in a short time. A certain pole
imported from Sweden proved TO oe
the most valuable, but its greatest lie
was not over four years.
The company began negotlations'
therefore, with cedar pole firms In the
United States, with the result that ar
rangements have been completed with
wholesale producers of cedar poles
ties and posts for the shipment OF mr.
teen hundred poles Of the white cedar
variety, Michigan grown TO AieAan-
dria and Cairo. Egypt.

COMPARISON OF CANDIDATES.

The Leagey. Times of Philadelphia
make the following comparison OF
the two candidates for Governor:
There is nothing in the charact-
er or reputation OF Mr.. Pennypack-
er which is not honorable to him as
man, citizen, lawyer or Judge.
But as the Republican candidate for
governor, his position before the
public is entirely changed. Here his
own personality has little share or
part he is the selected candidate of
Senators Quay and Penrose, of Dur
ham and Ashbridge, and as their
first. best found choice, his candi-
dacy represents not only their des-
perate need, but all the malign
forces, policies and purposes of those
discredited politicians who stand
forth as the eXponents of what are
generally known as Quayism and
a Ashbridgeism, which are, so far as
this state and city are concerned,
the top and crown of venal political
scheming and doing.
The character of Mr.. Pattison is
not whit less estimable, in any
way, than that of Mr.. Pennypacker.
1t is above and beyond reproach,
and so far the candidates stand
shoulder to shoulder upon the same
firm ground of vantage. There,
however, all comparison of their
respective merits as candidates ends.
Mr.. Pennypacker has no political
record except as the panegyrist OF
the discredited politician, Mr.. Quay.
Mr.. Pattison has been long IN active
political life, and twice governor of
Pennsylvania. His record is an
open one, and of unusual distinction
and usefulness; of fidelity to official
trust, unselhsh devotion to popular
interests and Of intelligently direct
cd zeal in the discharge of all public
duties.
Mr.. PennypacSer stands, as the
candidate of Quay, for Quayism and
Ashbridgeism, and for all that these
phases express of political venality
and wrong-doing. Mr.. Pattison, as
a candidate, stands for whatever is
to the political ills from
which all citizens suffer, chief of
which is that by frauds against the
ballot the citizens is deprived of his
highest and best privilege to vote as
he wills, and to have his vote
counted and recorded"

A DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT.

No careful observer of political
events, no matter what his prefer
ence may be, can review the past
history of the Sixteenth congress
sional district, and then in good
faith predict the defeat of the Demo-
cratic candidate. Every county in
the district is Democratic by from
200 to 200. A. no time during
the past fifteen years has it given a
Republican majority for governor
or president. The Democratic candi.
date this year fills the full meas
ure of fitness. He is able, conscien-
tious and experienced, and is per-
haps i'll an all round way better
qualified to represent our people at
Washington than any other man
in the district. He has behind him
long, successful and honorable
business career and an unsullied
private character. He is one of the
shrewdest and best political organi-
GERS in the state, and with all these
favorable conditions, with the party
united and we'll organized in every
county in the district, not to men
ton the dissention and factional
broils that are disrupting the opposi-
ton, can any sound, logical reason
be given for the claims so freely
made and so seldom backed up, by
the opposition, that the Republican
candidate will prove a winner?
Does the real situation at this time
present one condition that the most
enthusiastic and sanguine supporter
of the opposition would care to
stake his political judgment on,
that the Democratic candidate will
not poll an increased rather than a
decreased party voter
For the information of our read
ers who may be little forgetful
we reproduce the figures of the past
fifteen years, showing the vote cast
at the several congressional cleo
tions. In 1888, Charles r. Bucka-

ional canvass. Every indication
points to an increased vote for the

where. That he will be elected
goes without saying, and that he
will be elected by an increased ma
jority is lust as certain as the dawn
of election day. The district is we'll
organized, harmony prevails in the
Democratic columns, and the syste-
matte work of the congressional
canvass and organization adds
strength to the local tickets in each
county in the district.

Wilmington Athletic Association
lowered the colors of the Brandy
wine ball team before upwards of
twenty thousand people at Column
bia Park, Philadelphia on Monday.
The game was arranged by the
Philadelphia Inquirer, and played
for stake of $1,000 posted by that
journal, and the gate receipt,
amounting all told, to about $1,000.
This amount was distributed equal
ly among the members of the Will
mington Club, and its manager,
netting each about six hundred
dollars. Al Newton and Jack
Steventon, two Normal School
favorites, played with Brandywine,
and both put up star games.
Steventon was seut into the box to
pitch after the game had been lost.
1t is the general belief that had he
pitched the whole game, Brandy
wine wouli have won. Wilmington
scored ore run in the first and
another in the second, only two
altogether, but they proved suffi-
cient, as their opponents scored
but one, and that in the second
lining. 1t was perhaps the greatest
amateur game, attendance and
interest considered, that has ever
been played. Newton and Steven
ton are expected to arrive in
Bloomsbuig on Saturday, and their
many friends are anxiously wait
ing to welcome them back and hear
their story of the great game.
