The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Globe says the Democratic con-
gressional committee is preparing to
carry on an active campaign in some of
the New England States to secure the
election of Democrats to Congress, and
that it has hopes of two districts in Con-
necticut and two in Maine. Represen-
tative Lloyd of Missouri is chairman of
this committee, and the Globe corre-
spondent says:
Mr.. Lloyd declined to name the Maine
and Connecticut districts he hopes to
carry, but it is known that Democratic
leaders are sanguine Of success in the old
Littletield district, now represented by
Representative Swasey. They expect to
take every advantage Of the Republican
fractional trouble in the Portland district,
where Asher G. Kinds recently defeated
Col. Fred Hale, son of Senator Hale, for
the Republican nomination for Congress.
If the Democratic "hopes" elsewhere
are as elusive as those concerning the
first and second Maine districts bitter
disappointment awaits them. There are
no fractional troubles" in any part of
Maine, least of all in the Portland dis
trict, where Col. Hale and Judge Rey-
nolds made the nomination of Mr.. Kinds
unanimous and will do all in their power
to increase his majority. 1t is only
question of size, as there is not the
slightest doubt as to his election.

THE BATTLE OF BRUTEs.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Will
you allow me brief space in your paper
TO express few words to the reading
pubic in regard to the late fight between
James Jeffries and Jack johnson. No
doubt Jeffries feels deeply his mortlfica-
ton at being .knocked out" as it is
called, by negro, while the colored
man, johnson, feels that he has achieved
great glory in winning his battle with
the ex-champion; and perhaps neither in
any sense realizes that not only in that
case but in all such contests it has been,
and ever will be, trained brutal force
which wins, not glory but the everlast-
ing shame which later on iss sure to fol-
low.
Let not the white man, or white race,
feel downcast, or the colored man, or the
colored race, feel uplifted by this or any
other such brutal achievement. Why l
can bring, or get others to bring, one
from a much lower race, a species of
monkey from the jungles of Africa,
without any training, that could knock
out Jack johnson in the first part of the
first round, and the bleeding champion
would never ask for second battle.
The monkey would carry away all the
honor or glory that ever ought to be at
tached to it. And if bull fights are not,
and are never to be, allowed in this en-
llghtened country, neither should such
low, brutal exhibitions be allowed to
curse our American people, especially
our young people If there is not suf-
ficient law to stop it let sufficient
Jaw, Federal or State, be speedily
enacted and strictly enforced. Let
our American press in every State in
our Union use under God their mighty
influence and power in the achievement
OF such result 1t would be worth
more to us as an uplifted people than all
the fine gold in all the earth upon which
we either wisely or foolishly tread.

Advocates of the direct primary will be
interested in the results of its practical
working in other States. 1t cost Joseph
c. Sibley $40, 69s SO to win the Republi-
can nomination for congress in the
Twentyeighth district of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Sibley received 10, 446 votes at the
primaries, and each vote represented an
expenditure of nearly 81. AS his plurality
was only $50, it is fair to say that his
nomination was brought about by the
sheer power of money At the primaries
in the Thirtieth district of Pennsylvania,
John Dalzell spent SO, 200, most of which
was contributed by manufacturers. The
combined expenditures of Sibley and
Dalzell in these two districts were nearly
$4,000. Their combined salaries as
representatives in congress for two years
will be only 100000 Their nominations,
therefore, cost almost 500, 900 more than
the emoluments of their office, exclusive of
mileage and stationery allowances. "The
truth is, says one of the newspapers
opposed to the primary election law,
that no worse form for corrupting the
electorate than the direct primary can be
devised by human ingenuity"

District congressman. But Br' Burleigh,
he lay low, and is seeing to it that a re-
publican legislature is elected. That is
discreet. Bridgeton News.
Maine correspondents of the Boston
papers of Sunday last say that Mr.. Bur-
leigh is to be candidate; but so far as
we can learn he has given no intimation
of such intention; but has stood by the
policy he proposed at the time Senator
Hale's resignation was made public, of
holding the Senatorship question in abey-
ance until we have elected Republican
legislature. That Mr.. Burleigh has had
assurances of support for the Senator
ship from all over the State is an open
secret.

year they earned dividend of 20 per

is that for mail order business. Old

handsome two-page bird s-eye view of
Boston as welcome to the teachers

the thrill of Jules Verne fiction. The

whose strength came from the soil, and

In his remarks at the Democratic State
convention Hon. Lindley Murray Staples,
the Democratic war horse of Knox coun-
ty, said, among other pertinent things:
eff you turn Gardner down you can't
hold the 1000 or 5000 votes that came to
him from the Republicans. He has more
friends among the cowhide boot fellows
than any other man in Maine. What are
you going to say to the farmers? Tell
me, in Gods name, what reason there is
for turning him down? You've got no
apologies to make if you nominate Gard
ner. You've got good many apologies
to make if you turn him down. "
His prophecy has been abundantly
verified. The apologies began as soon as
the action of the convention was made
known, have since continued with in
creasing volume, and will continue until
the last vote is cast on September 18th.
Gardner's friends have no use for a pro-
fessional politician.
Zone who knows Dan, writes to the
Lisbon Enterprise: at is amusing to
hear Candidate McGillicuddy rise on his
tip toes and shout for reform, and es-
pecially to those who know Mr.. McGilli-
cuddy;" and says as to his charges that
money has been wasted and the State run
in debt under Republican management:
He overlooks the fact that Androscog-
gin county under Democratic rule has
not only consumed the surplus left them
by their Republican predecessors, but
have involved the county in debt that
will require different management to
liquidate, and, to all appearances, the
rules and regulations as followed by the
party emenated from Candidate McGilli-
cuddy's own office No one blames Mr..
McGillicuddy for trying to detrsct
peoples attention from the empty An
droscoggin county treasury and the sleek
looking Democratic county officials. 1t
looks as if Candidate McGillicuddy,
standard bearer of the Maine Democracy
with all his boosted ingenuity, has failed
to find a real cause why his party should
have the privilege to sack the peoples
money instead of the Republicans, as he
alleges. There is rule in law that those
who come into a court of equity must
come in with clean hands.
