WITH SUPPLEMENT? WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7.

In order to give everybody an opportunity to see for hLnself that we are now publishing the very best weekly ever published in the West, we will send four copies of the Weekly Sentinel on trial for three months for $1, postage paid. Euclaxd pays 3 per cent, on a debt of ..0,000.000. Tee yoaDg prince of Servla bus a penchant for witnessing har?picg. He "lould visit the United States. One HUSDR83 thousand California salmon ova have gone to Germany, and it is believed that in a few years the German river3 will be well stocked with this valuable fish. As an evidence that matrimonial affairs are improving, Rev. T. G. Be barrel, LL. D., pastor of California Street church, married 10 couples during the month of December. Senatoe Blaine Is on top In Maine. Journal. Yes, Biaine is on top of the Maine eu preme couit, and a better tlace for a Republican buzzard to roost was never seen. The Baftimore Ga.c:te demands that jeraons receiving the death sentence shall be quietly killed in their cslle, and declares that it iaoneof the most pressing criminal reforms of the times. Thk decision in Malueniay not advance the Blaine boom, but it will cert alnly not retard it. Journal. We iac'ine to the opinion that the decision of the Maine supreme court will help the Blaine boom. It is strictly in consonance with other decisions when rascals have succeeded by overriding constitutions and laws. As long ai books are printed, or the Eu?lish language read, posterity will study and admire the achievements of the Republican party. Journal. Let us see; according to Republican achievements it stole $100,000,000 a year for 13 consecutive years; It made every department of the Government a den of thieves, and finally put a man in the office of president by the lifting power of perjury. The Ass Asylum tooter will have to try again. Such feeble-minded twaddle will not suit Wendhim. We have received a letter from a former Indianapolis citizen, now located in Mississippi, in which he says: .1 was born and rained In Indianapolis, and, being raised a Republican, I came Houth somewhat prejudiced against the Honthern people. By two years association wit h them I have completely overcome these feelings, or rather they died a natural death. In concluding hie letter he says, "I need cot, but will say that I am now no longer a republican." It ia worthy of note that this gentleman draws the logical conclusion that he went ßonth prejudiced against its people because he had been "rmsed a Republican." Are the principles of a party cafe ones, which tnd to prejudice its members against any section of our country? Parnell, the great Irish agitator, will make the tour of the United States, and tell of Ireland's woes to American freemen. The Eritish Government has employed two aOTt hand reportsrs to taie down all of Mr. Parnell's public utterances, to be used against him in a charge of treason, if any wary word he utters can, by any possibility, be made to appear treaionabl). Ireland is dying. Her heroic people are starving. England tightens her murderous grip upon the country. Prayers lor food ars acvered with stones, scorpions and bullets. Dungeons are the asylums for those who are mad with hunger. Partiell pleads for his coun try and for his countrymen, aud ITngland Is on hia track like a Bleuth-hound, watching And waiting for a treasonable word, that she may try him, as she did the martyr Emmett. and strangle him to death. SOMETHING FOR LABORING MEN TO THINK ABOUT. Under the operation of the Republican financial policy, Indiana, in common with other Sates, suffered. Indiana suffered the lossof more than $30,000,000 in the simple item of failures atone. Bankruptcy was widespread. The curse of contraction touched every interest Merchants, manufactures, farmers and owners of real estate, cities, towns and villages felt the strain upon their resources, and the State itself staggered beneath the accumulated burdens which Republican legislation had Imposed. Bat of all the interests that suffered, labor took the lead in the haggard procession. Men and women were thrown out of employment by thousands. There was food, but thousands of working people had neither money nor employment with 'which to purchase the absolute necessities of life. Poverty never assumed such ghastly aspects. . The fangs of hunger were never so harp in this God-favored land. There were never ao many poor, in rags, without home or shelter. There were never so many beggars, never so much crime, and still the leaders of the Republican party, to play Into the hands of the rich, urged forward their policy. No appeals of misery -eoulj touch their cruel natures. In the United States Senats they had a majority, And in reserve they had a fraud tt4e and a fraud-cursed president ready, while he noted In the pay aad perquisites of a Sate office, to strike dovn very measure calculated to afford re 15 et to the laboring man. The Democratic party fought nobly to change the Republican policy. It rexonetlzsd ths silver dollar la defiance ct the veto of the scabby icoun-1
drei who befouls the office of president, and commanded that the work of retiring the greenbacks should ceass. ' These measures, together with boundless harvests, continued for years, at last brought about a reaction In business. Indiana, with other communities, felt its vitalizing effect?, and labor, long prostrate, revived, and laborers, long idle, had reason to hope for an era ot prosperity. At this supreme juueture Rspublican conspirators, in and out of Indiana black and white pirates, criminals by instinct and knaves in practice cone jived the plan of filling Indiana with, pauper ne groes from the South. With stations along the road frem North Carolina to Indianapolis, to direct the swelling tide of pauperIsm, agents of the conspirators were located, money was contributed by Republicans to defray expenses.and railroads, for the Infamous purpose of coining poverty, ignorance and suffering into money, offered ths kidnapers so much a head for all the negroes that could be sent over their lines. In this way the exodus has been kept up ana i3 still going forward. The Rspublican conspirator look on and chackle as they contemplate an increased voteinlSSO. The black kidnapers admit that their contract ceases when the paupers are dumped down in Indiana. After that they are to take their chances. Thay are coming to be a charge upon the State, upon counties and township, cities and villages, or upon private charity; or, if they obtain work, they displace soma white man who is dependent upon his daily labor for a subistenca; who may be forced into Idleness, and whose wife and children are to be made to suffer in the future, as in the pait, for want of work. Already ths cruel displacsment of whits laborers, to make room for the ne?roes. has begun. We are told by the Cincinnati Commercial that "about SOW colored people are to be located in Indiana within ;.x months. The State is being examined to find home3 for them." This is letthan an eighth of tha nunbsr the Republican conspirators and thair hired kidnapers contemplate placing in Indiana. The estimate made soma time since by Langsdale, the "red hot" Rspublican editor, was that Tutnam county wanted 200 of these malepanper negro as, and the Journal of this city expressed the opinion that every county in the State would probably require the saim number. This would give 18,400 male pauper negroes for the State. So far the exodus shows about five women and children for every male pauper, which would give as the sum total of the pauper exodus 90,1200 paupers men, women and children. So far the paupers have had to be taken car of, fed and sheltered by private chanty from toe moment they landed. Some have found employment, and in numsrouj cases where this has occurred white men have had to stand aside and go into idleness that the pauper negro might hava work and a chuc9 to vot s the Rspublican ticket. In numerous instances the poor deluded creatures have sought to return to their native South, and, so determined hare they been, they have started out to make the journey on foot. The Rspublican rascals, seeing that they have made a blunder, are now trying to mak it appear that the whole business is a Democratic scheme to revive the race prejudice, bat this departure i8 60 puerile that it is met with universal disgust as well by Republicans and the paupers as by Ism-ocrats.

An Indian got on a spree near Yreka, Col., Friday, seriously stabbed P. H. Scott and killed James Osburn, who went to Scott's assistance. A party of miner captured the Indian, tied him to a tree and riddled him with bullets. A sale was made in Savannah one day last week of 1,128 bags of sea Island cotton. This Is believed to be the largest sale öf long staple tbat has been made In that city for 25 years. It will realize for the planters of Georgia and Florida about f 12,000. There are three living descendants of Christopher Columbus: Don Ferdinand Colomb, deputy at Porto Rico; Christophe Colomb de la Cerda, the mar q als of Jamaica, and Don Diego Colomb, who is gentleman ot the bedchamber to King Alfonso. The Omaha (Neb.) Herald 'prints with pleasure and cordial approval" a communication from a promiuent citizen of Nebraska in favor of Iloa. William II.

At present, out of an annual consumption of nearly 5,000 ,000 worth, England supplies but 8 per cent., and this country not only manufactures nearly all that is needed at home, but ships large quantities to .South America, Australia and Em ope. The Ft. Wayne Sentinel pays: Governor Hendricks says that in bis opinion the Democrats can carry Indiana, whoever la the nomnee. We think Governor Hendricks is eminently sound In thla opluion. Indiana la a Democratic State and will go for the nominee Bayard's nomination might make the result doubtful In thla State, bat even he (in oar opinion) could carry Indiana. Ex Governor B. F. Perrt, of South Caro lina, has- reappeared again long enough to write a futlous tirade against General Urant, as a presidential candidate, and the Southern men professing to be Democrats who wish him
success In 1880. The Democrat, he says, should nominate the man who is supposed to be, the most available candidate, whether It Is Tilden, Hendricks, Bayard, Hancock, or any other true and honorable Democrat. The largest dividend In .New York City this year Is tbat of the First National bank. On a capital of 8000,000 It has divided 120 per cent, for the year, after adding töOO.OOO to its surplus, making the surplus $1,500,000, and after leaving tA7,700.til undivided in profit and loss account. The Courier-Journal says that the Indiana exodus leaders now report .an immense demand for black house servants, cooks, etc., all through that State. The farmers have denied that they want 10,00) black harvest hands in December, and the Republican Importers of black voters had to change their story. Thm is a cat story from Bath, Me.: "Two kittens were sentenced to be drowned in the presence of their mother, whereupon the animal suddenly disappeared. Two days later the housewife jokingly said, 'If pussy would keep her kittens from under my feet they would be aale. Pussy went oat and returned with her kittens."

English, that grand old time wheel-horse of Indiana Democracy, la frequently spoken of all over the country for president. He is not seeking the of3ce, and, with the reU of Indiana, Is for Hendricks; but shonld he be nominated he would doubtless accept, and there Is no man who would command Hendricks' heartier support. Two xen started from Minneapolis on the same train, carrying conflicting deeds to a piece of laud in Sioux Falls, and each resolved to get his document recorded first. As they approached that city one of them climbed upon the engine, slipped the coupling, left the train to take care of Itself and rushed on, securing a record of his title half an hour before his rival. SoMe sensation has been created in .London by the officiating clergyman, the rector of St. Peter's, Kensington, having at the Mlllals wedding, instead of reading the last portion of the marriage service, substituted a new aud Improved version, In which It was explained, or rather stated, for no one could explain what was meant, tbat a husband should be as Indulgent to a wife as Heaven Is to the church. The Cincinnati Commercial says the third term question Js upon the Republicans. They must discuss it thoroughly and at once. General Grant Is a candidate for the next term of the presidency, and is to be welshed and measured as such. He wants the oflice as badly an any man ever wanted to be re-elected to Congress. Denials of the fact where not hypocritical are frivolous. There is no nonsense about this. It is plain business. The Washington Post says that Secretary Thompson did not bring with him from the raging Wabash any hope that Indlaua will be "redeemed" in 18X0. He has been strongly urged to take the Radical nomination for governor, but having declined that honor moie than once, when he might have been elected, he prefers to leave a hopeless race to some politician who will find the glory of the situation sufficient reward for his labor and ample consolation for defeat. A nor In Fottsville, Penn., took a dueling cap to school and finally pierced it with a pin. The can exploded, tearing off three of his fingers, and the noise caused a panic among his school fellows, who started for the door
with a rush. A number of the smaller child ren were knocked down and trampled npon, but, fortunately, none were seriously injured The teachers retained their presence of mind and succeeded in quieting the frightened children before the stairs were reached. The Huntington Democrat says: Our choice for the pre;Idency is Governor T. A. Hen dricks, who, we believe, haa no superior in the nation, and if we know anything of our Democratic readers, they also preler Mr. Hen dricks; yet should the National convention, In its wisdom, select another standard-bearer from among the many true and tried men who have been named in connection with Uw party nomination, we can give tbem a hearty sup port and labor just as laithfully, wlta the abil ity we possess, for their triumphant election A Dakota man was moving his family Into a new houo, ani left bis stove for the last trip. Within 100 steps of the house hia wife was taken 111. Leaving the twoyourjgest chll dren in a dry goods box on the hand-slelgh, he helped her and two older children Into the house, where, In order to prevent their freez log, they were all put to bed. Ha then returned for the two children, and was frozen to death before he reached them. The wife lay In bed until the next day without fire or food. The father lay dead near the corpses of his two boys In the box, but although the children in bed with their mother were frozen nearly to death. It Is believed that they will recover. James Watt's old workshop at Heathheld Hall, his home near Birmingham, is kept still as he left It even to the dead embers in the Franklin stove. A correspondent of the Rec ord, oT Philadelphia, says that there are order and system throughout the room. All boxes, etc., are labeled, even to that containing snuff. and of the countless small tools each is nicely wrapped In paper or laid lu trays. On the copy ing machine in course of preparation is a small bust, not more than an inch in diameter a perfect copy of an original in the machine. This was the great engineer's last bobby, pursued for pleasure after the steam engine had brought hlra a competency. When General Grant stood in the railway station at Washington the other day say a the Baltimore American a former Confederate colonel walked up to him and shook hands with him. "The last time I met you, general," Faid he, "was at Fort Donelsou !" "Ah !" said the general, shaking his hand more warmly. "But, then," continued Professor McLougnlin, "1 was with General Floyd." "Ah, then." said General Grant, "you were with the opposition?" "Yea," replied Prolessor McLoughlin, "and for so much more I revere and honor your character," General Grant said promptly : "God grant that all Southern men should feel as kindly as you toward the North." A Juery. Sunday Morning Call. What did the creditors in bankruptcy of the late S. P. of the Journal think when they saw the distinguished individual making bis calls on New Year's Day, in bis fine carriage, with a tan-colored buck-tail driver in livery? They must have thought with Dr. Watts: "How vain are all things here below How false, but yet how fair!" Grant's Strength, The People. The Journal says that Grant's strength .is amoDg the common people. We were really not aware of thla. We had thought, before the Journal enlightened ns, that Grant's strength was among the officeholders, pardoned whisky thieves, political dead beats and bankrupts. A Flopping Map. Morning Call.

THIRD TEU.1l ANALYZED.
Graat'i "Olalma" Upon the American People for Further Honors. A Bad Flrtt Term and a Worse Second In- . , . dicate the Third. Interview with Parke Goodwin in Philadelphia Press.) , , Mr. 'Parke Goodwin Bald: "I am out of politics and have been some time. There is no use in dif cussing Grant's character as a soldier or as a man at this time. - It is not in dispute. But his character as a statesman is seriously in dispute, ami will be more so should he consent to be a candidate for reelection to the presidency. I am opposed to him as a candidate and shall be. Up opposition arises from the love of my country. Grant made a bad president during his first term. He made a worse one during his sjoondterm. There Is no reason why he would not prove still worse, if that were possible, should he get to be president a third time. Grant was never chosen by the nominating conventions because he was universally regarded as qualified for the office; not at aU. He was not chosen becauss he had proven himself to be a great soldier even; not at all. Thema chine nominated him because he was regarded as "available." The people ratified the nomination, because their patriotism, belDg shrewdly wrought npon by the poiiticans, prompted them to reward their deserving soldier by giving him their greatest gift. In all this there was no statesmanship. The reasons that actuated the politicians were base and selfish. They were not evea complimentary to Grant. To push a man forward for a great office merely becausebe is available is to use his record for a filse purpose. It Is the falsa pretense of politics. They who do it are, like the monkey, the fellows who are after the chestnut', and they make a use of their available candidate like the usejthe monkey n ude cf the available cat they get him to secure for them the nuts they themselves dare not reach after. The reasons why. the people elected Grant the first time were based on gratitude. Such reasons are seldom the reasons of statesmanship, and they are seldom called out and played upon in euch a great emergency as the election of an American president, except by demagogues. No man ought ever succeed in reaching the presidency of a country like this unless he has well proven himself skillful and trustworthy in the performance of just such work as he is called upon to do in tbat office. There is every reason why the statesman should be president. There is every reason why the good eoldler should be sue cessively promoted through the grades. But there is not one why he should be promoted out of them.' Then there is a thing that should never be forgotten, in politics. In this country the success of any war is mainly due to the executive who is at the time at the head of affairs and responsible for them, and whose conduct of etuirs evolves out of the nation the successful military leader. It was different in the times of Alexander, Ctvar and lion sparte. They were both ruler and warrior. Their armies gathered for them. at their call and for their cause. It is entrrtlv different with us. Mr. Lincoln personfied the cause of tbe North. It was at his call. for the purposes he proclaimed, and it was under his management that the vast armies of the Union sprang into existence and wielded their tremendous powers against disunion. That army knew no treuem. knew no leader but Lincoln; it knew no cause euthcient for the great sacrifices it oflered to make but the one proclaimed by Lincoln; it could never nave become acquainted with any marshals but those sifted out from the ranks and elevated by the policy which Lincoln used in his wisa statesmanship. In this country no ambitious soldier can step out from the ranks and wage any personal war. like ambitious soldiers have been able to do in every other country in the world. Here the army is no personal property and can become no man s clan. The president, by and with the consent of Congress, both depending on popu lar suffrage, calls the army into motion and controls its leaders. lf the sifety of the present arrangement shall ever be disturbed it seems that the disturbance will be brought about by discontinuing the election of statesmen to the presidency and placiog there in their stead men whose only qualifi cations are military. Why should the presidency of this Republic be considered a thing to reward men with? It is the greatest and most powerful office in the world, the highest and mo:t honorable. To acquire it Is to be the chosen man of 45,000,000 of free people. There never was a distinction like that. Why make a bauble of this great thing? Woy make a toy, a confection of it? What can any living man do to deserve such a gift as a re ward? The presidency was created to be filled. It was designed to be worn as a jewel to enumerate the achievements of any human beiog. Tbat man never lived worthy to wear, as a personal prirs about his small neck, the presidency of the United States of America. No, sir; the office is the place wherein the business of the American pe3ple is to be directed, and their business as a naWon is to them about the most serious aud important thing in the world. And no man is lilted to be placed in that augubt station except the one b st qualified for tbat work And no matter who he .is, or what his achievements, or what his deserts, it should bs impossible for him to become president for anv otber reason than tbat of being best qualified for presidential work. When the people learn this and act upon it, the polit ical life of this nation will he healthier and its public business will be the best managed in the world, and the country will progress with the great strides that are nataral to it. ' Now, then, what sufficient rcaeon is there for renominating Grant? What reason of any kind is tbre? Why is the matter talked about? Why should it be even mentioned? Since he was twice elected because as general of the Union armies be put down the rebellion, are we to understand that eight years of the American presidency is not a sufficient reward, and that it should be completed and rounded oif by four years more? Upon such a precedent the business of instigating seditions for the purpose of earning the reward of putting them down ought to become lively among ambitious soldiers. What an insult to the American people Grant would offer by accepting a nomination on such terms. Is any man so necessary to these, hia countrymen, tbat they must inevitably turn to him for gov ernment? What audacity would it be in Grant to say that to the people by run ning again, tven if tne people were mistaken enough to suppose him a necessity and convened their supposition to him In the tender of a third term, what then? If Grant were a true statesman he would attempt to convince the people of their mistake. If he were a demagogue he would encourage his conceit to stifle his reason and take the place, and a disposition to do the latter is proof that the man is not a sincere man but a real hypocrite. Shall we go down to history as Laving reached so deplorable a political poverty, to degraded a state of national mendicancy, that among this vast free people we can not find m competent governor without for the third time taking from the army the man in it who knows least about politics and whose previous trials produced such infamous administrations that their disgrace almost , buried out of sight the greatest, most patri- '
otio and most powerful political party that ever existed!" "Do you believe Grant desires a renominationT". Of course he does." "Why do you think he does?" "Because, if he didn't he would long ago have said he didn't. It has not been quite honorable of him to accept all the?e ovations and allow them to be turned to his political account. If he is after the renomination and had allowed the truth tobe known he would have met silent contempt instead of public feasting." "Do you think he will gat the nomination r -"It is impossible to say. Of one thing I am convinced: Grant won't accept the nomination unless he is persuaded that it results from-a nnaalmous public desire for bis re-election. To get it under such circumstances would be a flattery beyond comparison, and would make hi tu felsureof the consequences. Part of his desire to this respect probably arises from patriotism, most of it certainly is d ue to a persor al vanity that dares not compromise itself by taking any rieks," "Do you believe there is any general desire for Grant's renomination?" "I believe there is not I believe the desire for such a thing is quite limited, and that it is liveliest amooc; those demagogues who would like to vs "Grant These may deceive him, who, believing that the great public w'sh his renomination and induce him to take it" ' What would be the result 7" ' Grant wou!d be overwhelms g'y defeated. The people would bury him as a politician out of sight They would not Btand the impudence, the audacious impudence, of the movement, and would put a decisive termination to it." "Who would vo'e against Grant?" "All the independent and liberal Republicans would. The Democrats would be Siilid against him. Every American who gives serious attention to the afiairsof his country, and who respects himself with an intelligent respect, would vote agairst him. He would be supported by leaders and followers whose supremacy in the rational affairs of this country, if it were possible for them to attain that, would be cot only un desirable, but, in fact, disgraceful."
Git ANT AND HAYES. Some Pithy and Pointed Opinions hy Congressman Cox Concerning Them. Washington Post "What do you think of all this parade over General Grant?" said a Pott reporter to "Sunset" Cox the other day. "There is nothing wonderful about It," replied Mr. Cox. "Oar politics are whimBical, and may be here to day and gDne tomorrow. Even .'Pinafore' itself must subside into the limbo of departed nit ladies." "Do you think he will again be a candidate for the presidency?" "I can not give you all my reasons, but my impression is that the Rspublican party will not nominate him. If tbey do I don't believe the people will elect him. The Democratic party will run a man, who has thA virtues of civism, against him if he be nominated. If he be not nominated we will run Hancock most probably, ai against Blaine or some one who will lift the sanguisary nocturnal garment Bat much depends on what Governor Seymour may ?o. All tbat I have said ia based npoa the idea that he will never accept Tnat has been my Impresgion frosi a persontl knowledge of his wishes. But some revelations from recent interviews indicate that he might be conattained tD accept. It so, nothing can stand in the way of his success." "You think, then, that the people have not alt igetber forgotteu Grant's administration and its peculiarities?" ' General Grant's career as president is to me very unlike his career as a general. His administration here was so reckless, the reins were held with such an unsteady hand, that nothing but his splendid career and success as a general could have saved it from universal obloquy. AH that he ever said during Johnson's administration about tbe treatment of the South was thoroughly ignored when he became chief magistrate. His modes were military and not civic; therefore nobody wondered at bis use of bayonets in controlling csrtain administrations of state affairs in the South against general judgment" "Ye. Boh, A Ye Will Let Him Go Home!" "Bob" Ingersoll Is said to be exceedingly effrciive before a jury, aud many stories are told of his triumphs as a spec al pleader wben he was a criminal lawyer in Illinois. On one occasion, years sgo, he was engaged in that State as counsel for a farmer who had quarreled with a neighbor acd shot him dead. The evidence was plain and direct on tbat point, though there was nothing to show that the prisoner had not believed that he was acting in self defense. When IngerBoll was addressing tbe jury, he drew a pathetic picture of the prisoner's wife and children he had declined to allow them to be present at the trial, as a less sagacious advocate might have done waiting in eager expedition for his return, confident that he would be acquitted of a crime which be would not and coull not have committed except to save his own life, so dear to his family, so necessary to their protection and support. "I see the wife dow," continued the shrewd barrister, "atandirg at the door of her hrme, the sunlight on her hair,straicing her eyes after the figure of the man dearer than all the world to her. I see his little boys swinging on the gate, with smiles about their lips, gsz ng down the road, watching for their beloved, innocent father and sure that he is coming. They are all ready, the dtar little fellows, to jump down, run after him, leap into his arms, and kisi away his sadness the shadow cf his unfortunate deed while they cry, 'Pear, dear father, we knew you would come!' And, gentlemen of the jury, you who are yourselves husbaods and fathers, won't you let him go home?" The members of the jury were listening with wet eyes, and leaning toward the eloquent advocate. The foreman, a big, brawny, simple-hearted farmer, the tears on his sunburned cheeks, was so carried away that, thinking the question addrsstd personally to him, and demanding answer, exclaimed in a choking voice, "Yes, Bob, we'll let him go home." Ingersoll had not half completed his argument, but he knew that that was tbe supreme moment, and eat down. The prosecuting attorney made a loog speech in reply, but it was, of course, entirely vain. The jury, after being out five minutes, returned a unanimous verdict for acquittal. Wben a Missouri grocer got up in a revival meeting and owned up tbat he had sold dollar tea out of the 50 cent tea-chest for over 10 years, the brethren were very back ward about telling him that he could hope for forgiveness. An Anthenian, who was lame in one foot. joining the army, was laughed at by the soldiery on account of bis lameness. "I am hereto fight," said the hero, "not to run." A little Florida bay tamed an alligator, and the ugly reptile learned to like the little fellow not, however, until the little fellow was all gone. Good times are npon us, yet Queen Victo ria's wages are still kept down to the hard pan figures of $5,000 a day,, without board. An American would submit to being locked up in a railroad car just long enough to enable him to kick the 1oor down. , There will be no war in ' Maine, but for years after this neighbors will refuse to bor row tea and coffee of each other.
