We caanol undertake to return or preserve •ommuulcatlODs that are not used. The white Democrats of Virginia are now beguiling their black Republican neighbors with the juicy barbecue. This is all right. Barbecue methods are unobjectionable. The bar and barbarous methods in politics are the ones that bring grief. Boston appears to be getting tired of its great man,—Mr. John L. Sullivan. The Journal suggests that bis indictment as a common brawler would he a good thing for the public. If the great man continues to be treated thus by the Boston press, he may shake the dust of hD native town from Ills feet and betake himself to some other city, and then Boston will have lost its best known citizen. The reception given to the Hon. Thomas B. Reed by the Young Men’s Republican Club last night was admirable both in con ception and execution. The greatest enthu siasm prevailed, and the greeting extended to Mr. Reed was of the warmest character. Mr. Reed’s speech was exceedingly happy, and voiced a hearty appreciation of the honor conferred upon him by this represen tative gathering of the young Republicans ot Portland. There can be no mistaking the meaniug of Secretary Noble’s letter to one of the rerated | employes ot the pension bureau. It simply means that there is to be a thorough reor ganization of the force in that department, and that all the re-rated employes will have to go. The justice of this depends on the extent to which these men connived at an act which the Secretary declares was illegal. The mere fact that they accepted an increase of pension awarded them by the Commission er ought not to drive them out of the office any more than it ought to drive Seuutor Mahder son out of the United States Senate. But if they aided and abetted the illegality, that Is another matter. It was hoped that the contract for build tog one of, the cruisers at least would be awarded to the Bath Company, which has excellent facilities for such work, and would undoubtedly have produced a vessel of which the country would have been proud. me ualii company made a bid as low at was prudent, and us low as the work re quired could be done lor. It was underbid, however, by a Baltimore company, which probably means that for certain reasons that concern was willing to do the work for less than its real value. Later on an opportunity will undoubtedly be giveu hi compete for the building of other cruisers, aod theu we ex pect the Bath company to have better suc cess. It has beeu so long a time since the discus sion of Mr. Blaine’s health ceased in the newspapers that the loug and circumstantial account of an alleged Illness of the Maine statesman while in Italy' has something of freshness about it. and therefore Is likely to excite some attention. Six months ago the same thing would have passed almost unno ticed. Probably the story has some founda tion of truth, that Is to ■’.ay, Mr. Blaine may have had some slight illness, but we may be certain that the superstructure which the correspondent has erected upon it is egregi ous1* out of proportion to it. Had Mr. Blaine suffered any serious Illness in Eu rope be could never have sustained the labor he performed in the last campaign. Pre cisely the motive for firing off this story now It It difficult to divine, but probably it has no other than to tide over a dull time. The Republicans of the House appear by the New York Tribune’s canvass to be near er a unit on the subject of aid to our mer chant marine, than on any other important question of public policy that is likelv to come before them. On the subject of "the tariff the need of doing something seems to be generally recognized, but as to just what •hould be done there is considerable variety of opinion. So with the internal revenue. — - -- • - * BOvUOlilUft U KiSt/6v.tu ar, while some would abolish the tax ou to bacca and keep the tax on liquors. A very large majority of those answering are in fa vor of national control of congressional elections, but there are enough dissenters to make it impossible to pass such a law un less they subordinate their views to the ma jority, inasmuch as the Democrats will vote (olldly against it, and therefore substantially the full Republican vote will be needed. On all these questions conference and consulta tion will bring the members much nearer together than they now seem to be. Young Mr. Russell Is making a great out cry because the police of Boston are under the control of the State instead of the city. Mr. Russell thinks this is a terrific blow at local self government, and appears to be very melancholy over it The change which Mr. Russell complains of was made In 1886, -- «/u »uo itch Kiuuuufu ueuei that the administration of the police was corrupt and incapable. A large number of the people of Boston, Including Democrats ai well as Republicans, petitioned for the change and that it has been one of ad vantage is disclosed by a comparison of the •riminai statistics before and after it. In 1S84 over $120,000 worth of property was reported stolen. In 1888 the amount was enly a little over $79,000. Evidently the thieves have not flourished since the change as they did before. As regards the enforcement of the liquor law. the progress has been in the same direction. In 1884 there were only 161 arrests for viola tion of that law, while in 1888 there were 868; in the former year 148 seizures were made, while in the latter the number had in creased to 1,189. If the removal of the con trol of the police from the city council and the placing of it in the hands of a board ap pointed by the State has produced these re sults, and that It has seems io be clearly demonstrated, no good citizen of Boston will want to go back to the old system. Mr. Rus sell may and doubtless will, rouse the thieves and saloon men to the iniquity of the pres ent system and the desirability of a change, but honest men in the presence of the above facts are likely to remain unmoved by his eloquence on this point. Probably all of them prefer to surrender a little local self government, rather than * become the prey of thieves and rum shop keepers. Amos J. Cummings, the brilliant news paper man and Democratic candidate for the seat In Congress left vacant by the death of Sunset Cox, is making his canvass on a novel tssue. For free trade Mr. Cummings is not ever partial; he Is not indulging in invoc tlves against monopolies, as most good Dem ocrats think it their duty to do. even If, like Scott or Bryce, they are monopolists them •elves; If he joins Gov. Hill and the Demo cratic heelers in their bitter fight against the Australian ballot system, he is not making a great noise about it; but he says there must be a harbor of refuge at Point Judith. Run ning for Congress In a New York city dis trict on such a platform is a startling and novel performance. But we are inclined to think that Mr. Cummings’s platform is tbn best one that has been uuder any Demo cratic aspirant for Congress in the last twenty-five years. It proposes something wv./ ueuui auu necessary, willed is quite toe reverse of the custofe of most Democratic platforms; and therefore is statesmanlike. Mr. Cummings does not claim to have originated this platform, which he acknowledges as an inheritance from the late Mr. Cox. Point Judith i, a fearfully rough place, and the life saving crew at that Point take even chances of losing their own 111** ...tr,lDg t0 save lives of others when the ocean is lashed with storms. Over Pa8s the PoiBt ever>’ year- The and Ca^eM as terrlfic as at Cape Cod bSr Of c’omn, aS' The New York Cham t«r of Commerce and Maritime Exchange the Portland and Providence Boards and the legislature of Khode Island repeat edly urged upon Congress the necessity for such a harbor. As Mr. Cox had in ££ I plurality of 10,9*7 in the district, and |L therefore, Mr. Cummings’s election is ptoba‘ bly certain, it is gratifying that he has placed before himself so useful an object. And we hope that the peculiar idea which the Democratic rank and file in New York olty bare of the functions of a Congressman, will not monopolize his time to the harm ol his plans for the harbor of refuge ac Point Judith. CURRENT COMMENT. Hit. REED PREEMINENTLY THE MAN. [Lewiston Journal.] While all the candidates are excellent men yet we regard Mr. Ueed, under existing cir cumstances, as preeminently the man for for speaker. THE ABLEST CHAMPION OF THE PROTEC TIVE TARIFF. [American Economist.] This week we present to our readers ex tracts from an equally important contribu tion to the cause of protection by Hon. T. B. lieed, Representative in Congress from Maine. Mr. Reed is easily the chief among defenders of a protective tariff from a scien tific point of view. In this respect he enjoys a great advantage over the majority of speakers and writers on the subject. He is not only familiar with the best writers on botli sides of the question, but does not hes itate to measure weapons with the ablest of his opponents In the discussion ot the ab stract principles which are at the foundation of the argument. CONCERNING BOOKS. BY E. CAVAZ7A. Chita. A Memory of Last Island. By Lafcadio Hearn. This romance, simple in theme, magnificent in execution, is a work of veritable genius. As yet, it is not possible to judge whether Mr. Hearn has capability of constructing and maintaining the plot of a fully proportioned novel; but it may be as serted that he has a mastery of words that opens new regions of literary art in prose, a mastery comparable to that of Mr. Swin burne In poetry. Mr. Hearn’s manner is tropical, fiery and rapid; he lavishes upon a single page of prose enough of imagery and fancy to make a dozen ordinary sonnets; and every detail is so justly ascertained, so truth fully and vividly rendered, that no phrase can be lndiffer< ntly passed over. Dramatic sympathy, seconded by this marvellously rich and flexible style, Is everywhere pre sent. The range and modulations of this amazing new voice are impressive, and pro duce in the reader a constant series of lively sensations. It seems hardly needful to sug gest the one peril of this luxuriant style—ex aggeration of color and disregard of the boundary line between eloquent prose and semi-rhythmic rhapsody: for Mr. Hearn evi dently possesses good taste and the power of selfrestraint. The refinement of his work Is as noticeable as its power aud passion. (New York: Harper Brothers; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon.) The Romance of Dollard. By Mary Hartwell Catherwood. Another admirable romance—in temperament, theme and man wos fenn. M - fl... IJ..I .. M the tropics—Is Mrs. Catherwood’s historical tale, founded upon the heroic adventures of the Sieur des Cirmeaux in Canada, during the reign of Louis XIV. Since the novel has already appeared as a serial;in the Cen tury Magazine, It may be sufficient here to call attention to the attractive book form in which It is arrayed for the holiday season; and to note the vigorous imagination, the efficient and graphic style, the conscientious and able^handling of historic matter, and to congratulate Mrs. Catherwood upon a gen uine success in a difficult as well as noble de partment of fiction. The illustrations are excellent. (New York: The Century Com pany ; Price $1.25.; A Few More Verses. By Susan Coolidge. In this delicate and dainty little volume, ail white and gold for a holiday gift, is found verse of truly poetic quality. The author has sentiment which, not especially dramatic or intense, is always natural, genuine and wholesome. She never strains her womanly voice; it remains tuneful, petsu&sive and agreeable in every cadence. Such verse as hers meets the sympathy and desire of a large class of readers whom it is praise to be able te please. Sometimes the moral tone is some what too prominent for the artistic beauty of the verse; and in a future edition a little care will remedy the case of lines left without the relative rhyme, and certain unpermlsslble rhymes. The proof-reader may be remiuded that the accent over the e in the title of the poem Paolo e Francesca, changes the con junction into a verb. But these are things of ^uVlti£ulte‘???nc.«..?0“.P5£eduJi9u^>? many admirers will derive from her new volume. (Boston: Roberts Brothers; Port land: Loring, Short & Harmon. Price $1.00.) Daddy Jake, The Runaway and Other Stories. By Joel Chandler Harris. This delightful volume, generous in size and in type, with Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit and Brer Turkey-Buzzard smiling upon its cover—this original, racy, inimitable book is worth any given number of volumes of con ventional fiction. It purports to be a volume for juvenile readers—but parents and guar dians will be sure to buy it long enough be fore Christmas to read and enjoy it them selves before entrusting it to the young clients of Santa Claus. Daddy Jake is a worthy already introduced to the readers of the St. Nicholas Magazine; and the story of his escape, the quest of little Lucien aud Lilian, and the joyful return, is an interest ing picture of plantation life. The shorter -— — v -vvU. uHu-uuiuaU) TTiiuiijr irresistible circle of animals. Brer Rabbit and his neighbors. "Miss Meadows’ gals”—who seem like quaint kinsfolk of the antique nymphs—appear again, and at last we learn something definite of these elusive maids, for one of them (it still remains a mystery which one) became, after rhythmic spells and much timorous debate, the bride of Brer Rabbit. The illustrations are large and thoroughly good. The very sight of the volume is an undeniable appeal to the buyer of holiday gifts. (New York: The Century Co. Price 81 50. Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger. By Ernest Ingersoll Lockwood. If one may credit the artless tale of little Baron Trump, he was descended from a crusader who mar ried a Moslem maid, the very great grand daughter of the Princess Scheherezade, the accomplished narrator of the Arabian Nights Entertainment. The doughty deeds of little Baron and his lively manner of telling them prove him a worthy scion of war and ro mance. Young readers will find his adven tures irresistible; they remind one of all the famous wonder-stoiles, Baron Munchausen, Gulliver’s Travels, the Good Giants of Rabelais, with even an odd reminder of Don Quixote—and yet It remaius that Trump and Bulger are an original and precious pair. It Is possible only to hint at the variety of ad ventures which befell them, among the Mountains of the Moon, In the Land of the Melodious Sneezers, the Port of Nomad's Port With Its People the Wind Eaters, among the irresponsive inhabitants of the of the Sculptor’s Isle, the Man Hoppers and the Round Bodies. The veritableness of these studies of impossible anthropology and geography Is excellent. The language has a comical and Illogical dignity, like the style of Mr. Rider Haggard under the influence of laughing gas. Briefly it must be admitted that the attempt to define this amazing and amusing extravaganza results in criticism hardly less bizarre. The volume, with its clever illustrations by Mr. G. W. Edwards, is sure to be among the favorite holiday gifts. It is a story of which young readers will not soon tire. Seme of Baron Trump’s remarks deserve to become as classic as the best phrases oi Alice in Wonderland. (Boston: Lee & Shepard; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon. Price 82.00.) STATE TOPICS OF~tNTERE8T. Mrs. F. L. Noble, owner oi the stallion Alcryon, denies that he told Ira Woodbury that the Balch race bad been fixed. The lowest trotting records oi Maine horses are as follows: For yearlings, 2.57; for two-year-olds, 2.33; for three-year-olds, 2.26J; for four-year-olds, 2.26$. The new academy building at Hebron will make that institution ene of the most beau tiful and commodious in Maine. A campus of three acres is to be laid out around the sew building. A house for the principal is already almost completed. A strange animal, described by a boy who saw it as having a long gray body, short legs and a tail about three feet in length, is levouring sheep and calves and scaring the partridge hunters around Farmington. ,.A Boston sportsman up on the Allegash pother day discovered a big bull moose. Jm.ii tSS moose, the hunter had only shot in his gun, but he fired awav. He « .but 9ays the raoose and Ium“effiway°'' a bagso profundo A 400-pound moose got out into the open fields at Tea Cove, Moosebead Lake, tbe other dBy. Tbe neighbors turned out and surrounded the monarch of the forest, while a boy with n pistol walked up and put a bul let through the animal’s heart, killing it in stantly. Humpback Mountain, in Beddington, is one of the few places in Maine that contain reminders of Jefferson Davis. While at tending to coast survey work on this coast before the war Davis, accompanied by his wife, the daughter of Zachary Taylor, as cended Humpback and carved his name in tbe rocks of its summit. The remains of the sled on which Mrs. Davis was hauled up the mountain has been preserved by Anthony ohoppee of Beddington. Bangor has obtained the Eastern Maine Insane Hospital; hut all Is not peace in that town, nevertheless. Says the News: “There is a lively feeling growing up concerning the location of the new insane asylum here. Aside from the contending interests of the various people who want to sell the State their land there is a conflict of opinion on the advisability of locating the institution on the proposed site near the waterworks on the ground that it would do away with the possibility of manufacturing Interests locat ing there In tbe future,” A Boston sportsman who hunts in Maine tells of a remarkable adventure that befell A. H. Harding of Gouldsboro. They were out after deer one day, and Harding peeped over tlie top of a ridge and sighted a fine buck. He fired and dropped the deer and ran towards it highly elated. As he got up to the buck It sprang to its feet aud made off, but not before Harding bad grabbed its tail. Away went the buck and Harding. Some times tbe latter’s feet touched the ground and sometimes they didn’t, most often they didn’t. Harding held on like grim death though, and finally the deer stumbled in soft f;round and fell, when the hunter sprang to ts bead and grabbed the horns. Harding’s I friend arrived in a few moments, and the buck succumbed, but Harding’s clothes were in rags where the deer’s hoof6 had cut tbe cloth as with a knife. Good accounts come from the men in the New England Railway Mail Service. They are attending to business, and are under strict discipline. The Bangor News says that since the Republicans came in steps have been taken to-prevent all drinking. When information is received at the super intendent’s offices in Boston that a man has been intoxicated, or even if be only drinks moderately, he is called up and a pledge pre sented for him to sign, iu which he pledges that he will abstain entirely from strong drink. The breaking of this amounts to a resignation. There has never been an in stance as far as known where men have vio lated it. The service, too, is on a non-parti san basis vo a greater extent than ever be fore. During the month of April in rein stating these old clerks many Democrats were removed. Since that time, however, in Maine alone seven Democtats have been reinstated and some thirty-five in all the Nt>w Kllfflanrl division Wnrlv a thipS .,f the present force was appointed by tbe Dem ocratic administration, and taking tbe rela tive voting population as between tbe two parties this gives a fair proportion of the Democratic party.

Cured by Cuticura For three years I was almost crippled with an awful sore leg from my knee down to my ankle: the skin was entirely gone, and the flesh was one mass of disease. Bomo physicians pronounced it Incurable. It had diminished about one third the size of the other, and I was in a hopeless condition After trying all kinds of remedies aud spending hundreds of dollars, from which I got no relief whatever, I was persuaded to try your Cuticura Remedies, and the result was as follows: After three days I noticed a decided change for the better, aud at tbe end of two months I was com pletely cured. My flesh was purified, and the bone (which had been exposed for over a year) got sound.
