The Machas Republican reads this pa
per virtuous homily in connection with
the Senatorial contest and rushes to the
defense of the Lewiston Journal, that
staunch representative of the Maine
Democratic party. cit is such bitter
ness, such narrowness, as that shown by
The Courier-Gazette that will work in
jury to the Republican party, not the
policy of the Lewiston Journal" Thus
our esteemed brother of the Machias pa
per, and the Lewiston paper reprints the
defense, happy to have at least one lone
word uttered by anybody in its favor
Rockland Courier-G Gazette.
This is the situation that Congressman
Burleigh had in mind when he suggested
that the question of the Senatorial sue
cession should be deferred until after the
State election.

The desert shall rejoice and blossom
as the rose" says the Scripture. Has not
this prophecy come true? Many of our
readers no doubt recall the time when
the maps of this country bore in the
center the words ''Great American Des-
tart" 1t was something of a misnomer
Shen, if by desert was implied such sandy
wastes as are found in Africa, but there
was an absence of vegetation other than
grass and cacti, with trees along the
course of the infrequent streams. Irri-
cation has changed all that and this land
when watered is found to be rkably
Fertile and productive. In the west it
has been necessary to construct great
dams to form storage basins, but in
Texas water in abundance has been
found at varying depths and is brought
to the surface by aytesian wells.

No one who knows Mr.. Frank |. Will
son will believe that he said he could not
get business at the Probate office with
out giving a commission; and no one who
knows the Register Of Probate would be-
lieve such charge by whoever made. In
his letter published last week Mr.. Wilson
says that he ''never by word or letter,
said or intimated that | could not get
business without giving a commission "
Mr. Wilson also give1 the rate for cita-
tons and notices in Kennebec county,
which is higher than ever charged here,
and says that the Register of Probate
there collects on commission, which is
more convenient for those having bust
ness with the court and for the news
papers.
