The Maine Election and the] Democracy. _The result of the Maine, election clearly shows that the Republicans, instead of gaining on-the vote of - former | years, have lost, and that the unpreeedented efforts put forth in the campaign failed to keep the party to§et7ler. The Greenback element elped somewhat to disorganize the party, but it does not account for the falling off in the Republican majority, as it Erew its stfength mainly from the ranks of the Democracy. N‘Zo,one expected that Maine could be carried by the Democrats; but in: view of the decline in the ordinary Republiean: vote the election eannot be cFaimgd.,.as, an encouraging R‘egﬁbﬁcan victory. It furnishes unmistakable evidence of -the: %mdual disintegration of: that }l)arﬁy. he loss of votes in Maine foretells far heavier losses in other States where Radicalism is not so strongly intrenched and where the means and money.there used to carry the election cannot be so easily employed. - ; . The whole stock in trade of the Republican leaders at present consists in appeals to the old antagonisms of the war.and in. denouncing the patriotic determination of a Democratic Con gress to abolish Federal interference in popular elections. They tried their utmost to enthuse the Maine: Republicans'by these ¢ stalwart’’ means,” and failed, and their failure shows that the ‘people can no longer, be influenced by mere passion and hollow declamation. The farmers of Maine are beginning to realize that the war belongs to the past, and that party action must be decided by new principles and new questions. Loyalty to the,Union is no longer a proposition of ‘interest, because there is ne longer a spirit of disloyalty anywhere. The Democracy of the South are as dévoted to National intégrity as the most ultra could desire, and the Democracy of the North have always been the champions of republican institutions and principles. The state of things that caused the war has passed away forever, and entirely new -issues are before the people—issues of practical interest and importance and which have to do with National . progress and prosperity. As between the two parties the people must decide either in favor of an old party tenacious of power and which has sacrificed its principles to ambition, corrupted our official life -and trampled on Constitutional liberty, or in favor of a party originating in opposition to radicalism, with an unsoiled record and appealing to the patriotism and conscience of the individual. There can be no question on which side the decision will be. ~Already, even in Maine, the better class of Republicans are evineing weariness of the old battle lays. They are beginning to see that such men as Blaine, Conkling and Sherman are too clamorous, too extreme and violent to be safe guides; that personal ambition more than public interest dictates their action, and that they are trying to use a political party as a machine to keep themselves in power and not to protect or exemplify any substantial principles. This growing distrust of their leaders manifests itself among all thoughtful Republicans and is doing %(l)od work for the Democracy. ~The fall of such bitter and reckless - partisans means. the fall of the organization they control, and_when both are accomplished we may hope for “a new-and purer erain National politics. —St. Lowuis Republican. :

How Maine Was Carried.

Considering ‘the tremendous efforts of the ‘‘white-plumed knight’’ of the bottle-nose, assisted by the cash wrung from Federal office-holders, the loss of seven thousand Republican votes in Maine since 1876 is something remarkable. A correspondent of the New York Herald writing from Augusta, Me., thus describes the metho%ls ‘of Blaine and his coadjutors in the recent canvass in that State: =

“Not all the votes which were cast for Davis were secured from love of the Republican cause or admiration of an honest dollar, or party prejudice, or fear of Democratic ascendency. Itisa shame to be, obliged to record that there was much buﬁdozin-g of a ‘civilized sort’ resorted to by Wealthy firms and rich corporations and manufacturin‘% establishments npon their poor employes. Many workmen were dis charged for avowing their purpose to vote the Greenback ticket. Many cases of this nature can be named to the shame of the.State and our New England civilization. Then the votes of many army :and. navy ‘pensioners were intluenced by threats of the Examining Surgeons and others that if they (ﬁd not vote the Republican ticket their pensions should -be withdrawn. This disgraceful appliance is, thought to have added materially to the voté for Davis. The séarch of Congréssional Committees for cases of bullgoz'ing and intimidating - voters would be promptly rewarded %y a visit to Maine. It would seem that Conggess should ‘take some’ notice . of the. threats made to the disabled defenders of the Union, and it is understood that the case of one pensioner in Oxford County, who was cut on account of joining ‘the ' Greenback ' party, will be presented before Congress early in the next session. LRy !

‘ . ““Beyond the ar§uments onthestump, distribution of political literature, bull~dozing of employes and United States ‘pensioners, the ‘Republicans employed ' a lever which was more powerful and ~effective than all the others combined, \ viz., money. They evidently had . a large fund, and they expended it judi- ’ ciously and to: the best "advantage, ' It was raised at home, and the: l?;tional Committee gave permission to the State Committee to draw upon it for as large a sum as might be necessary:to buy tge State. All the Republican' State and National officials were assessed: five per cent. on their salaries, while all the ~candidates were mercilessly bled to ‘raise an immense corruption fund.’ One of the mail-route a%ents on the train from Bangor to Portland was assessed '542.50 on i\is salary of $B5O, and I suppose he paid it, for he is still running on'the ftrain, and that would not Be possible had he refused. A country postmaster in this district, with aazﬂ_gy' 1y of 845, was forced to dis§orge, $2.25 .as his share of the fund. oters were ‘bought in / this city like sheep in the

shambles, and the same was true in the¢ other cities and many of the larger towns in- the' State. The prices 'paid for votes varied, and was somewhat smaller than in former years. I am told that $5, $lO, $l5 and $2O were paid, and in some instances $25 and $3O, and even. as high as $45 were paid for a single vote in the close districts. The buying was carried on to some extent on both sides, but the Republicans had a fund fifty times as large as their opponents and easily outstripped them in this race. It is an encouraging thought that after next year, if the biennial Constitutional amendment be adopted, as now appears to be the case, the moral sense of the people will not be offended by the disgraceful spectacle of vote buying but once in two years.”

Stalwart Rhode Island. Rhode Island is a _st-ag,feh and stalwart Republican State that has never wavered in its party fealty for twenty years. Under the Constitution of this model Republican Commonwealth no naturalized citizen can exercise the suffrage unless he owns real estate clear of debt to the yalue of $134 at least. The consequence of this Know-Nothing provision is that the majority of the naturalized citizens are robbed of the franchise. % naturalized voter may have double and treble the amount of the property required by this qualification, but if none of it is in real estate he cannot vote. Many emigrants do not take the trouble of becoming naturalized, because naturalization does not confer on them the political rights on which they set the most value. According to the census taken in Rhode Island in 1875 there were 186,000 native-born inhabitants of that State, who cast 87,000 votes, or one vote for every five native inhabitants. There were 71,000 inhabitants of foreign birth, who ecast 5,300 votes, or one vote for every thirteen or fourteen foreign-born inhabitants.

_The attention of naturalized citizens, as well as of all lovers of political equality, cannnot be called too often to this iniquitous provision of this boasted Republican State. Some of the testimony taken by the Wallace Investigating Committee practically - illustrates its character. Among the witnesses before the committee were. two naturalized citizens who volunteered in defense of the Union' at the outbreak of the rebellion. Yet Rhode Island refuses the right of suffrage to these men, who risked their lives for their country, because they do not possess the required amount of real estate. A Union officer, a naturalized German, brought with him to Rhode Island, at the close of the war, a freedman from the South whom he had employed as a servant. The Union officer cannot vote because he does not possess a certain amount of Rhode Island dirt, but the negro can, because no such test is made against him. It is applied only to the ‘hated foreigners. The Hon. Thomas Dayvis, of the city of Providence, went to Rhode Island thirty-four years ago, became naturalized, and invested his money in real estate. He was several times chosen to the State Legislature, and in 1853—4 he represented Rhode Island in Congress. He afterward failed in business and delivered up his property to his creditors. The gray-headed old man who once helped to make laws for Rhode Island as well as for the whole country now: finds himself robbed of the suffrage. For-this monstrous provision the Republicans of Rhode Island are alone responsible. The Democrats every year make the demand for its abrogation in the State Convention, but the Republicans obstinately refuse to- concede to naturalized citizens the rights which the natives enjoy. The Republicans fear that a change in the Constitution admittin% all citizens to equal political rights will destroy or greatly weaken their power in the State. ‘A Republican Legislature made a pretense of conceding in 1870 by submitting an amendment to the Constitution, but the Republican politicians took care that it did not receive the necessary three-fifths majority of the votes of the people of the State. Thus the naturalized citizens of Rhode Island who do not possess, the requisite amount of real property remain disfranchised to this-day.” The sovereign State of Rhode Island in the exercise of its power maintains this grossly partial and unjust distinction between na-tive-born and naturalized ecitizens. Rhode Island has the undoubted right to put such tests and qualifications to the enjoyment of the suffrage as she pleases, within the limits of the Constitution of the United States. ‘The peculiar injustice of this provision consists in the distinction which it makes against -~ naturalized ' citizens. = The regulation of 'the ‘suffrage is a matter which belongs to the States, and Rhode Island cannot be réstrained in the exercise of this unjust power except through an amendment of the Constitution of the United States. As long as the spirit of Know-Nothing-ism prevails among the Republicans of ‘Rhode Island an amendment of the State Constitution is out of the ques‘tion. It is well to hold up this model Republican State frequently for the serious consideration of naturalized ‘citizeéns.—Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot.

The President’s Position. | A gyecial_dispatch from Washin(igton ‘to a New York paper of a recent date, printed also in the Boston evening papers of the same day, assures us that ““ the President does not regret the conciliatory policy pursued toward the South. It was a matter of conviction and principle with him, but he thinks, in the face of the pledges and promises ‘made, there has been but very little doné to merit a continuance of this policy. ' Whilé he does: not 'chmgedﬁs; views, it becomes' a serious %ges,_'_,pn whether the experiment can be continued.” Which is as much as to say : “‘A policy adopted by Mr. Hayes as a matter o{ conviction and principle may perhaps have to'be abandoned, because the non-performance of certain pledges and prmg‘iées has made a continuance of the policy wunmerited. - A policy, in other words, which commended. itself to the conscience and judgment of the President, and in regard to which he does not change his views,”’ and which, therefore, we must assume to be, in the opinion 'of the Executive, a just and

statesmanlike policy, no longer commands the assent of his conscience and jud%ment, because, in the language of the lawyers, the consideration, to wit, certain pledges and promises, by which his conscience and judgment were induced to assent to that policy, ‘“‘as a matter of conviction and principle,” has failed. 4 : :

But the unsophisticated portion of the American people, who do not stop to criticise the inconsistencies of the ¢ position” of the President, might yet ask the following questions: ‘What were the pledges and promises made, which had an influence to induce the President to adopt a conciliatory policy? Who made these ple(ﬁges and promises? State names and official positions. What constituency did the pledges and promises profess to represent? Who were bound by the promises and pledges? What reason had Mr. Hayes to believe that the promises and pledges could ‘‘deliver the goods?"’ Who were the brokers whe negotiated the traffic? Was anything' promised except a delivery for a term of four years of a lease of the Executive Mansion, free of rent, and with a salary attached, and all service and victuals found, and has not the contract on the part of the pledgers and promisers been fully performed, so as to entitle pledgers and promisers to a ‘‘continuance of this policy” until the end of the term of four years? Some other questions suggested by this suggestive dispatch might be added, but we suspect the foregoing are more than will be answered between this and the fall elec tions.— Boston Post. . | :

- Sherman’s Pet Bank. Our Washington dispatches of to-day report that the First National Bank of New York is still $23,000,000 behind in its contract with Secretary Sherman for four - per-cent. bonds. The contract was that these bonds should be paid for by the first of Julyr Fifty days have ela&)sed‘since the time set for payment, and yet less than one-half the money has been paid. : : Had it been a private individual or a business firm that was thus in default to the Government, he or they would long before this have been pushed to the wall, and forced into liquidation or bankruptcy. Being a National Bank, the Secretary of the Treasury steps in and grants it an extension. At the same time he allows them to draw the interest on the bonds they have not yet paid for. ' : -He told the Cincinnati merchants that he didn’t press this pet bank of his because, if he had done so, it would have caused a stringency in the money market, and perhaps a crisis. Is the Secretary of the Treasury authorized to interpose in the collection of debts in order to prevent a stringency in the money market? By the same rule he would - have the. power to empty the Treasury of the United States to break a corner in wheat, or to assist the gamblers in Harlem or Western Union to cover their margins. If the Government treasure is to.be used: to protect Wall street, it is time the people here in the West, who produce the wealth of the country, knew of it. : ‘Mr. Sherman told the people of Maine when he went down there to defend his policy that the funding operations of the Government were closed. At that very time he knew that more than $40,000,000 of four-per-cent. bonds had not been paid for, and his funding operations eould not be closed until this was done. He misstated the facts for political effect. . : . Four-per-cent. bonds are selling in this market at 102 flat—that is, with the one per cent. quarterly interest nearly due -on them. After the first of October they will drop to 101, and this will barely pay the contract price he made with the Syndicate, which has yet to be fulfiled. If the First National Bank of New York still remains in default after drawing their six months’ interest for bonds tﬁey never paid for, he may have to throw them on the market and suffer a discount. This would bring about the very crisis that Mr. Sherman told the Cincinnati merchants he was so anxious to avert. i

Of course it will be a part of his scheme to put off that erisis until after the Ohio election. A panic would be disastrous to his ambitions. But still if it come after the election he would be none the less responsible. The country has had magnificent crops this year, and Mr. Sherman will claim that the Republican party, not Providence, gave them. There is:an appearance of a revival of trade, and this he will also claim ' for his party. 'But the thing he has most to fearis a let-down in Wall street—Wall street, 'the one place in. all the country he has ‘been at the greatest pains to strengthen and support. ‘ ‘The Treasury of the United States should not be permitted to be used in ‘stock-jobbing -operations for the ,‘Fr‘otection of one class of people and to the detriment of another. If the Secretary of the Treasury has, as he says, sold those bonds to his favorite bank, it should be required to pay over the money. If not, they should be sold without delay, orthe claim that he makes of the funding operations being closed should be abandoned. ' At all events, let us have® an end put -to this thimble-,rigginﬁ game in dealing with the finances of the country. —Cincinnali Enquirer. 2 :

—lt was out West, in one of those local courts where a friendly, talkative way marks the intercourse between jud);;es, juries, counsel and clients. A man of the law, after developing considerable eloquence:- and perspiration in behalf of a prisoner, perorated by saying: *‘Gentlemen, after what I have stated to you, is,this man guilty? COan he be guil&y;’ Is he guilty? Greatly to his disgust, the foreman of the “jury, after a copious expectoration, replied: ¢ You just wait a little, old hoss. and we’'ll tell] you.” As the Eoker-player would say: . ‘‘Foreman ad the age, and counselor passed out.”’ —Harper's Magazine for October.

— Other Folks’ Children, A THE' people 'in almost ‘everybody’s acquaintance who krow how to entertain company, and at the same time take care of their children suitably, can usually be counted on the fingers. The children are to their authors and owners astonishing and delightful circumstances, revelations of wonder; it is a marvel that they exist, and how much greater marvel that they are so lovely, so bright, so precocious, that they know black from white, that they can count three; how sweet the little syllables drop from their lips! how charming is the assertion of their will! how charming that they have a will at all! is all this possible? and is° all this theirs? And the child is not only worshiped as a part of themselves and a possession, but as a subject of delightful awe and mystery in the very fact of its being. - s Of course this is “quite right and pleasant with our own children; but somehow or other-it does not seem half so right and pleasant with other people’s children; and they are not half so charming in the assertion of their wills when they dispute the seat or the book with us, while politeness to their elders makes it rather difficult for us to assert owr wills; ‘and theéy are subjects of no delightful awe and mystery at all when they are tumbling all over us with sticky fingers and daubed faces; when they burst into our sleep-ing-rooms in the morning; when they insist on crowding into the carriage already full; when they set up a bawl 'in the middle of an interesting conversation; and instead of being secooped up and swept out of the room are ex_postulated with; when they disturb the lp,eace of ' breakfast, dinner and tea; when everything is interrupted by the demanding of these ‘cherubs, and everything is so in abeyance to their wishes that elderly” peoé)}e seem to have no rights in the world at all, and the whole pleasure of one’s visit to the parents, or the parent’s visit to one's self, is destroyed by their presence and behavior, till we are inclined to believe that the correct definition of the word .cherub is that other word imp. .. ¢ Of course parents owe an undisputed ‘duty to their ehildren, and it is necessary that the little things should be made happy; that their proper pleasures should be unrestricted; that their questionsshould be answered; that they should not be grieved-or outraged; that their lives should be one long remembrance of happiness as far as their parents can make them so.. But these same people owe, also, an undisputed duty to their guests, when. they -have guests, and if they cannot perform it, they certainly should not put themselves in the way of failing in it by having any guests; and it is'just as right that the guests should not .be grieved and outraged as that the children should not be. a 0 Only those people do what is either agreeable or. decent who regard their guests as wards, for the time being, if not actively to be made happy, yet to be allowed to be happy if they will, and who take into consideration whether or not- thesé persons, who are thus at their mercy, can*be happy with other people’s children tyrannizing over them in the manner that one may so frequently see them -do. It would seem as -though plain common-sense must teach people. that their children are not as lovesome to all the world as to themselves; and that even if others find them very attractive, yet they may weary of what the natural ties of flesh and blood make it* impossible that they themselves, ‘should ever weary; and that it is to be taken for granted that certain things are disagreeable, and that it is not to be- left to the guest to complain, or else pretend politely that it-is all as it should be, when trodden and trampled on by a parcel of little wretches without fear of man. One may be as fond of children as the next person, but it is always to be understood that that means children. in the right place, and the right place.is never the first place.—Harper's Bazar. - |
