in risking ones money in the regular course

THAT most vituperation and indecent sheet,
the Rockland Opinion. has set itself to the
task of slandering and vilifying Gen. Davis
TIllson. Gen. Tilson owns granite quarry
and employs several hundred men. He is a
moderate Republican and as he desired the
success of the Republican ticket in that coun-
ty, he told those employed why he desired
such result and asked them as his friends to
help him to bring it about. A foreigner
whom he had taken into his employ-going to
his works penniless and an Indifferent work
man-undertook to report the Generals
speech for the Opinion and among other
things said that he threatened to discharge
any man who did not vote the Republican
ticket. This statement was utterly false, as
we have been assured by more than a dozen
men who were present at the meeting when
Gen Tillson spoke. All who know him know
equally we'll that he isn't that kind of man.
Not content with one base assault upon the
character Of the man who was giving him
employment, the fellow continued series of
base attacks upon Gen. Tlllson's character in
connection with government contract. The
General is just aud generous man but is
not OF that meek type that will submit to
constant abuse. After little investigation
the writer of the abusive and defamatory
communications was discovered and he with
two or three otherspirits of kindred meanness
were discharged few days ago as they de-
served to be. And now the Opinion calls
it an outrage and expends its ex-
elusive vocabulary of epithets upon Gen.
Tillson. OF course such things are annoying
to high minded man like Gen. Tillscn but
no man in Maine can so well defy the worst
that filthy journalism can do.

II will do no injustice to the party which

great degree from public rather than political
decentralization. 1t is sad truth that we
must confess that all branches Of government

these evils, we cannot get back our people

The New York World admits that the New
Hampshire election gives the Democracy a
Setback" And the New York Post cruelty
says that this ''set back" is ''as il the flood
tide, on its way from Sandy Hook to He'll
Gate, should stop suddenly at Governors Is
land and ebb down again toward the Mar
rows" 1t goes very far towards destroying
the effect of the Democratic successes last
fall.


The line is sharply drawn and if the Re-
publican party will reorganize, stop its inter-
nal dissensions, kick out the camp-followers,
send its bad generals to the rear, follow the
leadership of its best men and stand by its
principles, the New Hampshire victory can be
repeated in every state. ate.-PhiladelphiG Press.


1t seems to be settled in Ohio that the Hon.
B. F. Wade is to be the Republican candidate
for Governor. The Commercial Gazette makes
this confident prophecy: ''Next fall, Ohio
will, by decisive majority. elect honest old
Ben Wade Governor, and if an election were
TO be held in Indiana this year, the Demo-
cratic party would experience crushing de-
feat. The people have already had enough
OF tie Democratic party, and they are quite
ready to follow the example of New Hamp-
shire.


A writer in the National Republican es.i-
mates that there are at this time no less than
two hundred thousand men in organizations,
under arms and very busily engaged in drill
ing throughout the South. The writer cites
as evidence, in part, the military strength of
Savannah, which is stated to have twelve
companies fully organized and equipped.
From such data the aggregate number of
men now on the military rolls in the fifteen
Southern and Southern border states is
placed al the figures named.


The ghost of ''third term"-deader than

sucking politicians not used to the tricks of

1t is to be hoped that the Republicans of
Connecticut will take encouragement from the
example of New Hampshire, and try to do a
little better. They ought to elect four staucn
and reliable representatives to the house, as
an offset to Senator Eaton on the other side
OF the capitol. The election of such senator
should be rewarded by a sweeping defeat of
the party responsible for him. There may be
Democrats who can be of service to the coun-
try, but they are not OF the Connecticut
brand. We see it stated that the canvass is
to be an aggressive one from this time for
ward. The Republicans have every reason
for making it so, and candidates who ought to
win.-Boston Advertiser.

TIE proposed consolidation of the severa
lines making up the Portland q Ogdensburg
railroad. and the issue of bonds secured by a
joint mortgage, has been so long before the
public and so we'll set forth in the daily pa
pers that any further explanation at this time
is unnecessary. Inthe first place, Portland
is to have majority of the board OF direct
ors; second, portion OF the proceeds OF the
bonds issued by this consolidated company is


to be set apart to take up the bonds issued
by Portland and other municipalities; aud,
third, the line cannot be completed without
some such action. The first two reasons are
sufficient in themselves to warrant the Board
of Aldermen in voting to instruct the May or
to vote affirmativcly upon the propositions
presented by the directors of the several roads
in interest. We have yet to find the man
who opposes the proposition, and if any one
should see fit to do so, It would be difficult
for him to give valid reason for his dissent.
We are confident, therefore, that the action
of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen last
evening will meet with almost universal ap-
proval

The Indiana Democrats are engaged in one
of their nice little family quarrels. The le2is-
lature got into fight with the governor, and
adjourned without providing for the neces-
sary expenses of carrying on the state gov
ernment. The governor thereupon c,lled
special session and in a message informed
.the mulish legislators that as there was no
necessity for their going home between the
adjournment of the regular session and the
meeting of the special session no bills for
mileage would be allowed. In revenge the
senate has passed a bill cutting down the
governors salary. This is not the only DEM
ocratic legislature which has wasted ID petty
quarrels the time which should be given 10

If Missouri had returned Mr.. Schurz to
the Senate, if Connecticut and Pennsylvania
had sent liberal and progressive men to that
body instead of disloyalist and ward poll

Illinois and Indiana behaved themselves, say
the "Independent' journals, the result in
New Hampshire would have been different.
If the leopard could only change his spots he
would look like another animal. What these
journals ask is that the Democratic party
shall entirely change its nature, shall become
honest instead of dishonest, progressive in
stead of reactionary, liberal instead CT illib-
eral. That is, the Democratic party must
become something else, must entirely change
its nature before it can gain the confidence
of the people. The Independent" Journals
are right; but the Democratic party cannot
change.

WHY THE QUEEN SHOULD BE INVITED TO
THE CENTENNIAL.


The propriety of inviting Queen Victo-
ria to attend our centennial exercises has
already been slightly hinted at, in fee
BILE way, as it the writers themselves
doubted the propriety of the step, and
were feeling the pulse Of public opinion
ere they were fully committed to either
side OF the question.


There are many reasons, says the GLOBE
Democrat, why it should be done. Eng
land is, of all nations, the nearest to us,
both being of the same stock, speaking
the same language, having an extensive
commerce with each other, the same gen.
eral religion, the same tastes, and LACKING
little of having the same government
Victoria is the merely nominal head of
the English government, which, except
In form, Is as nearly republican rs our
own; but, even as the nominal head, she
is entitled to all the respect due to the
whole government, and, as the represen-
tative of that government, should be in
vited to participate in the most notable
anniversary OF our history. Another and
very good reason is found i'll the friend
illness she has always seemed to feel to-
ward the United States.


She has taken pains to manifest this
friendly feeling in many cases where the
matter was indifferent, and she could
have acted otherwise. But, whenever
she could, she has shown her respect for
our country and regard for our country
men. If there We're no other reason, this
one would be quite enough. By extend
ing her an invitation to attend, and Civ
ing her hearty welcome when she comes,
we would do no more than return the
courtesy she has on many occasions
shown Americans.


Besides all this, she is the best sover-
eign in the world. In 1887 she assembled
the English throne, and from that date
to the present, a period of thirty eight
years, she has reigned model queen. 1t
is safe to say that her reign has been the
most prosperous that England has ever
enjoyed.
