E. A. OROZIER, Editor and PnbUshsr. MOTTO: With a Mission and ----Without a Muzzle. YOU SEE rr IN THE POST ITS Correspondence Bangor Daily The best lire newa that has been ffoinc In Mew England for the past three or four weeks was the Borden mnrder at Fall Rlwer and the arrest and trial of liissie Borden on charge of committing the ertme.

The newspaper that has gleen fnllest and most accnrate details of murder, that has told the story falth- ffnlly from the start, that has told the tmth, the whole tmth and nothing but the tmth, the paper that has printed the best pictures of the scenes in court and nnd the paper above all other papers In country which people interested in Borden mnrder have read, is the Boston POST. There can be no doubt of this, SUN men who read all papers and know news from vaporing and say so. Owing to this fact the circulation of the POST has largely increased in Maine of late, and it bids fair to increase still more US the merits of the paper are known. MBA HABBI801T8 HSALTH. The aewB of the improvement in the oonditioa of Mm.

abbisom is received with gratification throughout the eoontry. It is now understood that the eruis of the diseiuse is past, that the patient can soon be removed to Washington, and that her entire recovery may be ezpeeted speedily. The incident of the dangerous illness of the wife of the President, a candidate for re-election, in the heat of a political campaign, has served to bring out in a gratifying manner the fact that the American people hold their politics distinct from their sentiment. Expressions of sympathy have been as frequent and hearty from those who are strenuously opposing the re-election of Mr. abbi SOM as from those who are supporting his candidacy.

Taken ih connection with the resolution of the Democratic national convention at Cbieago, conveying the sympathy of that body to Mr. laine in the bereavement which he experienced at that time. It serves to illustrate the broad humanity of the character of the American people. 18 IT WORTH IT? McKinleyism laid a tax on dinner pails and other articles made of tin-plate, by which nearly $26,000,000 has been taken out of the pockets of the people, in increased prices and duties, since the law went into effect. According to the tin-plate inspector of the Treasury Department, 4.539,590 pounds of tin-plate and 9,107,129 pounds of terne-plate have been manufactured, during the same time, in this country out of imported material handled by imported workmen.

The National Provisioner, the organ of the great canning industry, which is the largest user of tin-plate in this country, figures out the wages paid in the production of this as $16,376 04. Mow much has American industry gained from this piece of McKinleyism? It would seem that the people of the United States have paid nearly $25,000,000 in order that a few imported Welshmen might earn $16,376 in this country. Is it worth it? Let American workingmen answer this question. TH08B "RBCIPROOITT TBBATIBA" The McKinleyite press stops at nothing in the manufacture of fiction so-called haps the boldest in this work is the Economist, the official organ American Protective Tariff hich says: nations pro- ugar have accepted the reci- lause, which allows their sugar entry into our ports, and we have now no power to change those treaties made in pursuance This apparently is a delib erate attempt to deceive. For there have been no made, and a simple act of Congress is all that is needed to set aside the entire fabric of sham built up under McKinleyism.

Worse than this, these bogus which are no treaties at all, may be set aside at any time by any of the foreign governments with which the arrangement has been made. And as some of these governments change twice a year, on an average, by revolution, the of the arrangement is seen to be not very great. MoEinleyism, in fact, permits foreign governments to dictate the rate of tariff which the people of the United StaW shall pay. TO PLAOATB BLAIMB. It is reported that Mr, hitklaw Bkio has been assigned to the duty of placating Mr.

laine and inducing him to take favorable cognizance of the fact that flABBisoN is the Republican candidate. Mr. eid will perhaps seize this opportunity to explain to Mr. laine the traatment which bis pot received from tiia New York Tribona. kha foUowiiiig the pubUoation of Secretary letter reoommand- ing free trade in wool and all other products of South American countries, the Tribune it to be most notable state paper of the present it said, the lines of necessary legislation by Congress, and outlines a progressive policy for the United As soon as the Tribune containing these remarks reached Washington, word came back from Mr.

Habbison and his Ohio friends that such talk as this would never do; and two days later the Tribune sharply denounced the Blaine policy which it had praised two days before. Mr. Blaine, the Tribune then said, must be very ignorant suppose that the precise policy on which President Cleveland was defeated would now bo accepted by the Moreover, it continued, is not probable that the Republicans of the country will consent to leave protection of all wool-growing in this country to depend upon acts of South American If Mr. eid forgets to mention and explain thLs tergiversation, perhaps Mr. laine who suffered by it, will call it up as proper to be considered in connection with the work of FOR CANDIDATE HAIIi.

Mr. aile The ost does not expect you to answer these questions as fast as they are put. Take your time about it. But they are such as need to be answered without very great delay. Question No.

2: Without prejudice, do you think the record un labor legislation made by your running mate, the candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, is one to be approved? You will notice that he refers to a change of mind on his part since he made this record; has your mind also undergone a like change since your votes against labor bills in 1883? If there has been such a change of mind, does it, in your opinion, imply a change of heart also? Do you think that a conversion which takes place eight or nine years after the event indicates a very lively sympathy with the reform? And do you think it desirable and right, or undesirable and wrong, that the laboring men shoald have such protection as the law can give them against the oppression of monopolies and trusts? THE CHOLERA 8CABE. The condition of the public mind with regard to the cholera has been more or less panicky up to this time. There is no reason why this condition should continue; but there is every reason why the exertions of the heal th authorities to remove the exciting cause of the scare should be kept up with unabated vigor. It is apparent that the disease has been pretty effectually shut out of New York, and that it has been shaken from the foothold which it seemed to have gained in that city last week. So far as concerns reports of cases of cholera in the interior, these may be set down as erroneous.

The plague has not effected a lodgment in this country. With such assurances, the public should recover its cheerfulness without delay, and should keep it; for in a cheerful spirit there is the greatest degree of safety, as in a condition of there is always danger. But it is not a feeling of scare which prescribes the strictest quarantine and the continuance of all other preventive measures. This is simply a wise prudence, the dictate of common sense. The welfare of the people requires it to be made certain that no infection enters our ports.

Now, too, in the subsidence of the feeling of acute fear, is the time to make all safe within our borders. The work of cleaning the city, of abolishing disease-bearing places, of fortifying the health of the community, should go on to completion. The cholera scare has furnished just the incentive that was needed. Moreover, it is part of the history of cholera invasions that the germs seem to survive the winter and the disease to appear in the succeeding year. Today, then, is the time in which to make all safe against the insidious attack which may be expected.

WAGES UNDER M'KINLSyiSBL The McKinleyite organs continup to extract delight from the figures of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor by pointing out that they show move goods to have been made aud more wages earned in this State last year than the year before. They do not print the fact, which these figures show, that the increase under McKinleyism was far less than it was in the years before McKinleyism came in. If it had not been for the inley bill, Massachusetts industry ought to have gained $12,000,000 instead of $3,000,000 in products, and Massachusetts workmen ought to have added $7 instead of $4 to their average earnings. This is what Mr, adlin figures show. But statistics are of less account than the facts which every workingman knows of his own experience.

Does he hare more money in hand at the end of the week than be used to have inley ruled this country? Does the money which they earn buy more of the things they need than it did before inley taxed them? And then, how about the great Bitrike which has going on for four montba right here in New England among the granite workers? Do these laborers in a induatnrfiiid tbatMcKuiLEY baa life easier and work aore profitable for them? Mr. adun figures and the work- experience auatain eaoh other. THE EIQHT-fAOB PAPBR. Its Advantages to Readers: The elgtaVpege paper is large enoogh to eoirtain all the news worth reading, and all tho news it Is possible for you to read Intelligently in the morning. A four-page is too small to adequately mirror the doings of this busy world.

A ten or twelve-page paper makes you work too hard to get the news you want. Eight pages constitute the happy medium. Its Advantages to Advertisers; Four-page fly sheets are hastily glanced over and thrown away. You see them in the cars and on the sidewalks. But elghtpage papers are not thrown away.

If not left at home hy express demand after you read them at breakfast, they are saved and taken home. Tour in an eight-page paper reaches the readers you want aud stays with them. Moreover, it is seen and read. An in a big ten or twelve-page dally paper is often buried and not even seen. Think this over a moment.

And you will agree that an eight-page paper is the correct thing for both reader and advertiser. (In parentheses, it may be remarked that the ost is an eight-page paper.)

To ttie BdUor of the Post: the meeting in Fanueil Hall in behalf of the Boston statue to Columbus I was struck by a remark by State Treasurer Mardeu. He said we of the United States, of all the citizens of this great continent, are known as His point was that we are the distinct people of this continent, but the remark struck me with another sense. Why are we called Americans, why not Columbians Poor old Christopher Columbus I How shabbily the world has treated him.

How tardily comes the recognition of bis great service to mankind. The Rt. Rev. Father Byrnes at this same meeting characterized him as the greatest man the world has known. Another speaker placed him next to the Saviour of men iu his good work.

And all these years this splendid continent has stood as a monument to a man who came over after the egg had been stood on end and who went back and glorified himself in books. He had not done enough to create any jealousies; he escaped the prison, made money by the sale of his writings, lived on the fat of the land, the great country of Columbus was named after him, and now, 400 years after Columbus died a beggar in chains, we are passing around the hat to raise a figure in bronze to the godlike discoverer. The monument that is mpst fitting is this great country. Why cannot we change the name to read "The United States of Asking no leave we call Chili Chile, Behring cannot we call the United States of America the United States of Columbia. It would require a constitutional amendment.

Very well, amend it then. Let us, tardy thougfi it be, lift this noblest monument to the greatest benefactor. S. W. A DAILY HINT FROM PARIS.

The record made by Roger Wolcott on labor matters while in the Legislature, which was published exclusively in the Post the morning after the convention, has attracted widespread attention, and many of the State papers are discussing it. The New Bedford Journal says: "Now this is really too bad. "We had just begun to think well of Mr.

Roger Wolcott and to conceive with a measure of complacency the possibility of his election, when it turns out that he has a labor record. And such a labor record. Beside it the labor record of ex-Candidate Allen, which figured so prominently iu the last campaign, and which cost him so many votes, fades into the most exaggerated brand of insignificance. "Mr. Wolcott voted In tho Legislature against, free text-books in the public schools, the abolition of tho poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, the weekly and iortnightiy payment bills, the liability bill and the sixty hours for women bill.

And he was a member of the committee on labor in the years 1883 and 1884 which reported inexpedient to legislate on many other measures for which the laboring people were "We are not in the prediction business, but the experience of recent years us to regard with the greatest doubt the possibility of the election of a man having such a record to any high office in the State of Massachusetts. "Alas, poor Roger! Why did you have a labor record? poor Republicans! Why don't you investigate the labor records of those who seek your His Name Will Be Dennis. Editor Wright says briefly in the Haverhill Gazette: "Roger Wolcott voted against the free text book bill, which was not at all to his credit. His name is now, but it will be Dennis by and The Fall River (ilobe thus voices the sentiment in that city: "Mr. Roger Wolcott, the Republican nominee for Lieutenant-Governor, will probably skip this city in making his stumping tour, as did Colonel Allen last and for the same reason.

Like the atter he has pot a legislative record which will not tend to make him popular in this section, and in facing an audience of Fall River operatives he might find himself skating on thin ice. During his three years as a member of the Legislature he was the constant friend of all corporation legislation and prominently identified with the opposition to most of those reforms, since enacted, which were introduced to benefit the masse.s for high offices, with a record like this, are not popular in Massachusetts, in these later days.

NEW BOOKS.

The Journal, referring to the candidacy of Mr. Crapo for the United States senator- ship, says; "Mr. Lodge has already declared himself, aud Mr. Barrett, whose position in the matter has been uncertain heretofore, seems to have removed himself from the field by the publication of this editorial paragraph in edition of the Record: Mr. Crapo has entered the senatorial contest and will conduct a dignified competition for the place.

He will not go all over the State getting men who are likely to be in the Legislature into corners and pleading with them to pledge themselves to him, threatening in case they do not to defeat them for nomination or at the polls. He will follow in the way of Sumner, Wilson, Wash- buru, Boutwell. Dawes and Hoar, not one of whom ever solicited votes for this high office. Mr. friends are confident, too, that a decided reaction iu his favor is comiug along.

Journal No Authority. Speaker Barrett said to a ost reporter yesterday that he had not seen the editorial, and when informed of its contents remarked that he hardly thought that paper had authority to speak for him, or to try and interpret anything he might or might not write for the Republicans of this State. He did not care to state further than he had already done what his views were on the senatorship. Just at present he was engaged in trying to elect the State and national ticket. He believed that the Legislature would be entirely capable of attending to the other matter when the time came, and that was all he cared to say.

Mr. Crapo is reported to have said, when asked if he proposed to make a contest for the nomination and election of Republican Senators and Representatives pledged to his support, that he had no disposition to create a personal issue in the campaign; that Republican sucoees in his judgment would not be promoted by forcing to the front a senatorial strife. "There is a Republican Governor to be elected, and members of Congress, and a substantial majority must be given for President Harrison. No personal senatorial controversy should be permitted to imperil the vote of November He Is Hnatlinx. Mr.

Lodge seems to take an entirely different view of the subject. From reports which reach Boston every day it appears that Mr. Lodge is personally en- gjiged in the effort to secure votes for himself for the senatorship. He is reported have been in Holyoke, Springfield, Haverhill and other cities, interviewing candidates for the Senate and House and trying to pledge them to bis support in case they are elected. Woere this is withheld or not readily given it is said that Mr.

Lodge has gone so far as to intimate that defeat will be likely to overtake the candidate for legislative honors. He is also charged with laboring with the machine leaders in cities and towns in order that they may get a caucus resolution passed by the local caucuses and conventions similar to the one passed by the State convention. The knowledge of what Mr. Lodge is about has called forth sharp criticism from irominent Republicans during the past ew days, and there are those who predict that he will not only overleap his own ambition, but will lose a good many votes to the party if be continues in the same course.
