The Maine Election.

The opening vote for the two great parties
will be made at the Maine election today That
State, since the birth of the Republican party,
has been, with slight exception, uniformly Repub-
lican by reliable if not by large majorites Under
normal conditions it would be as unwise to ex-
pect Democratic victory in Maine as it would
be to expect a Republican victory in South Caro-
lima, and yet there some persons who are
confident that the Democrats will score a great
victory at today's election. This belief is based
on the fact that they have once in fifty years
elected a Democratic Senator to Congress- but
this not done under normal conditions 1t
happened when the body of the Republicans
throughout the nation, including the State of
Maine, had lost some degree of confidence in
the men and measures of the Republican party;
when the rank and file of that party had become
divided in its allegiance, and the idea prevailed
that 1t was necessary to punish the men and
the measures to which they objected 1t there
fore happened that many Republicans either
halted or sidestepped voted the Democratic
ticket for the very purpose of bringing in a
punitive administration with authority to inflict
punishment which was thought to be required.
1t never happened in Maine or in the free States
of the North that any majority of the people
were ever converted to the theory or the prac-
tce of the Democratic party The genius of
resents the genius Of our Puritan civilization
which has established and maintained the social
order that prevails in this country. The Solid
South represents the genius of the Cavalier civil
lization which is medieval in its conception and
semipatriarchal in practice. The essential and
abiding difference between the political and
social and industrial atmosphere of these two
sections is so great and lasting that the two
may never be amalgamated The country will
be governed by one or the other of these
great principles which have been so long and
so thoroughly established in the two different
sections of the country Lincoln foresaw and
said that the country must be all slave or all
free. The same great people of the North
who made it free have no more idea of adopting
the prevailing industrial systems of the South
now than they formerly had of adopting slavery
Therefore, those who look for Democratic vic
tory this year and a, continuation of punitive
administration probably will be as greatly disap-
pointed as their predecessors were before them

AFTER-DNNER POLITICS.
When Cleveland Heard the News.
By DR.. Il. j. EDWARDS

Daniel s. Lamont-both when private
secretary to Governor Cleveland and
after to President Cleveland. and In the
latter's second administration Secretary
OF War-always called Mr.. Cleveland
Governor" II was a term Of which
Cleveland seemed TO be fond.
Therefore in nnrrating something which
Col Lamont told me after he retired
from the Cabinet and became vice presi-
dent OF the Northern Pacific Company. II
may be best for me TO use the title gov
ernor exactly as Lamont did
81 was not with Cleveland when he re-
ceived the news on election night In 1884
that he had been elected President" said
Mr.. Lamont In fact, my relations with
him did not begin until he became gov
ernor. I know, however, what he said
when, about midnight, his friends came
to him and told him that he had carried
President For q moment or two he said
nothing and then in a. perfectly quiet
manner, although II waf evident that he
was strongly moved by the news, he said
that he was deeply impressed, not with
sense OF victory, but by the knowledge
that inexperienced as he was, he would
be compelled to face and carry many
very important responsibilities. He hoped
that he would have a fair measure Of
That sounded exactly like the gov
ernor. 1t is just what I should have
guessed that he said II I had not been
told at FIRST hand what he did say and
how he acted when he learned that he
a citizen OF Buffalo, unknown TO the
country two years before-was to be Pres
ident OF the United States.
There is another side, however. TO
this story and 1 am competent to tell Of
- - z-N-
dent What Cleveland saiG and did in
1855 on the night Of the Presidential cleo
ton was fully as Characteristic Of the
man as was what he said and did on the
night four years earlier when he was
told that he had been elected President
Several members OF the Cabinet were
sitting with the governor in his office
at the White House on election night
1885. Dispatch after dispatch came in
and almost all Of them were opened and
read by the governor At last there came
one from New York from one of the
Democratic leaders which said that Gen
Harrison had carried New York by about
Is, 900 majority. The governor and I
knew that settled the election, but there
was one member Of the Cabinet who in
sisted on maintaining hope because he
was sure favorable news would come
from some of the Western States. The
governor became impatient He arose &c
indicate that the gathering was ended.
He said that It was nonsense to expect
any favorable reports-the thing was set
tled-Harrison was elected and he him
self was going to bed.
TT was the real Cleveland who said
this and who acted in this way, just as
it was the real Cleveland who spoke a
few words TO his friends at Buffalo four
years earlier when they assured him that
he had been elected President"

DOUBLE FEATURE AT LoEW's.
Louise Hun and Charlie Chaplin
share Honors.

loves Columbia offers for the first
half OF this week an unusually attrac-
tive double bill OF photoplay features
which includes Louise Hun in The Re
ward Of Patience" and Charlie Chaplain
in his newest comedy film, The Count"
The Reward of Patience" Is new
theme dressed in an entirely new style
of photoplay setting. The director has
carried out the spirit Of the story neat
ly, making no bids for the sensational
with spectacular stunts" but relying on
the human interest to carry him through.
He has succeeded admirably, and this in
part Is made possible by the winning
personality of Louise Hun, and the fine
work of the supporting cast The at
mosphere of Quaker village, which sur
rounds most Of the film. has been spien-
didly transferred to the screen, and
many beautiful and picturesque exteri-
ors' are the result. At the same time
the interiors are in keeping. The sets
purporting to be the interior OF a New
York home are very lavish.
The story OF The Reward Of Pa
tience" concerns a little Quaker girls
adventures in the big world, where she
sees life from some Of its most heart
rending and disagreeable sides. The re-
ward for her devotion to the daughter of
the man she loves and their marriage
after the death Of his scape-grace wife
rounds out one Of the most interesting
stories seen in the films in some time.

cludes John Bowers, Lottie Pickford.

In THE Count Charlie Chaplin is fur
nished with a story that deals with the

WARNS OF POISON DANGER,
Ledyard Atwater Tells Where Ivy
Menaces Children.

Editor The Washington Herald: One Of
the many beautiful places in Washington
is at the foot Of Blagden avenue, where
It joins the Beech Driveway" in the
Rock Creek Park.
The little footbridge spans the stream
with setting at one end Of, black
birch, tulip trees, sassafras trees, ;
beech trees, ash-leaved maple, dogwood
and l blackberry.
The other end has 2 plane trees. | black
birch. swamp willows and the stone
abutment is covered with the beautiful
poison ivy, (rhus toxicodendron) whose
leaves are just beginning to get the glor-
ious coloring of autumn. Little children
may be badly poisoned by the beautiful
vine.
There are many of the Virginia Creeper
in the park that could be made to cover
the place now occupied by the deadly
plant and they are also beautiful, but
not poisonous.

The most refreshing thing in Mr.. Wilson'S
speech of acceptance the audacity of his
statement: We have proved to them (the peo-
2le) that our promises are made to be kept" ;"
The language is very similar to that of the clos
ing paragraph of the. Baltimore platform. The
St. Louis platform omits it, the committee having
had sense of hunor. Mr. Wilson's candidacy
itself is fagrant example of the falsity of the
boast, as he, was specially pledged to the one

under severe penalties for violation of the order
The impiety of the practice of profanity has ever
been enough to condemn it; but this latest in
junction aims at removing any excuse for it,
showing how useless it is. 1t recalls protests
raised some time ago by sailors against using
them as types of the profane. How frequently
the impression also has been given that soldiers
fall easily into the habit! The order of the Ital-

The taxi chaufeurs of New York are asking
for the repeal of the law which compels them
to stop eight feet from a car which is taking
letting off passengers. So far the chauf-
feurs have advanced sound reason for their
request and it is likely that they will be unable
to advance such reason. In this city we have
a similar law and it has the unanimous endorse
ment OF those who are forced to travel on street
cars. Since the police have begun to enforce
the regulation, the street car passenger has dis
covered that IT is a real pleasure to leave a car.
There is no danger of the law being revoked here
and it is not likely that the New York chauffeurs
viii succeed in having the law repealed

Mr.: Hughes attacks on the emergency eight
hour law which Congress adopted to prevent a

support of corporations and manufacturers who
fear that their own employees may want an eight

Hughes prepared to advocate its repeal? Is he
prepared to say that if elected President he will
demand its immediate repeal strike or no strike,

The assumption by the Executive of the role
