Tho lack of Kkilful and cfTioient, nurses has been severely felt in Jacksonville. Ono of the '.nantitblQ results ol thia lack was detailed iu yesterday's dispatches. Our news columns to¬ day show that this need is to lie promptly met. Ten volunteer trained nurses are to stait for Florida this afternoon, and two more will fol¬ low to-iiiorr.iw.

Other nurses will co thither if necessary, but no more than twelve are required a! present. The contribu¬ tions for tho aid of tho sufferers continuo tt. be large and numerous. It was the prediction of " The Times'' (Dcm.) yesterday that "ono full week of seven days will be required by the mathematicians of the RepunUcaa press properly to explain tho re¬ turns from the State of Maine." lt then pro¬ ceeded to say thal the licpuhlican plurality would be "a'.nut la.ooo, showing a L'epub- i;,an less of 5.000." This was a deliberate and barefaced attempt to deceive its renders. its Maine correspondent'! dispatch, printed on another cf i's pages, stated tha! "at \2 o'clock tho returns show a Repuhlicaii plurality of from 16,000 to 18,000"| and tho dispatch of Mr. Hlaino to General Harrison, and tBrsi of Mr. Manley to Senator Quay, aaaorting that the plurality would be 20,000, wera a>so printed. A week to explain the returns J Oh.no! The figures from Maine speak for themselves, and they speak pretty emphatically, too. The esti¬ mates rnado on Monday night are shown by the b.itest dispatches net to haVO been exaggorn'ed. lint to explain and correct all the misrepre¬ sentations and falsehoods of "Tho Tim-'s" would require a good many "full weeks of seven days." Tho task is an unsavory one. and. besides, it would be useless. No well-informed man now believes vt hat he reads in the col¬ umns of that journal. GENERAL ll A RR I SOWS FUTTER. General Harrison baa never been a sensa¬ tional figure in our politics. Even in high public Station he lins been self-contained, dig¬ nified, unassuming, and so lias attracted a smaller shan' of public attention than many men conspicuously his Inferiors, both in na;ural ability and the qualifications of statesmanship. A laige proportion of the people nf ibo country were made well acquainted with th" full meas¬ ure of his powers fur the first time by the re¬ markable series of his speeches, beginning im- mediately upon bis nomination, and continuing almost daily until now. Tho general admira¬ tion which these evoked will bo intensified by the strong, terse, epigrammatic letter of ac¬ ceptance Wilie!) we lay before our readers to¬ day. This lefter will take a high place in the liter¬ ature of our politics. It is in such effective contrast to the dull, labored, verbose anti ego- tistical letter of th" Democratic candidate ilia' it seems aim. si unkind on the part of Gen¬ eral Harrison tu bring them before the people in close juxtaposition. It is courageous, frank, simple and unaffected. Many of ils phraseo pierce the Dem.mat ie armor like iword-thrusts. It is a letter that will make totes. I'ecognizing the tariff as the chief, though not tho only, question before the people, Gen¬ era] Harrison stale; tlic issue with stilling clearness, sweeping away as with a breath tho cloud of sophisms and false pretence! with which Mr. Cleveland endeavored to surround it. Many of these sentences will become cam¬ paign watchwords. " Ir is not a cutest be¬ tween schedules,'' lie s;iys, "but between wide- apart principle!." He admits that "tho Milli bill is only a Step," but be says, with quiet force, "tho important question is not so much '!>.o length of the step as th'-, direction of it." Thai st<p, lie shows, is toward " Free Trade in tho English sense.'' which phrase alone sums up the hypocrisy of the Demociacy, who are al¬ ways whining that they mu-; m., bo called r e Traders because they do not favor thc abolition of custom housi s, and would blind voters ».. tho f.-nd thal the policy they would now ent.r upon is what is understood by all mankind as a free-trade policy. lb- admirably characterises tho amateur political economists nf thfl f ree-t-ad,- school 80 " student* of maxim and not of the market!.'' Ai the same time he disposes, in one sentence, oi the Democi contention thai because tho Republican party - attachs upon the protective system ll is therefore bound to maintain tho pn tariff in every detail. " We do not offer a fixed schedule," he saya, "but a principle." In dealing wiih tho question of immigration ho remind! the workingmen that if they vote away tho protective tariff they need hardly c in .iii themselves with laws restricting ln> migra;ion, for it will make lillie difference " whether the cheap laborer is across iii" street or over tho sea.'' Nothing in the letter is better than the dignity with which thc dema¬ gogue cry of " free whiskey" is dismissed. There aro other question!, however, than tho tariff, and General Harrison treats them with the 'iiiiio candor and dirie! nos-. He gives prominence t,, f).o suppression of the ci,lon-.I vote iii the Smith.a topic upon which tho let¬ ter of the Democratic candidate displayed a canting hypocrisy, no; to be contemplate d with patience, sicing that the fad of thai suppres¬ sion is admitted imf only in private, bm in public by many bad.is of tho party. General Harrison speaks positively upon trusts, a- tbe Chicago platform did. and especially of the sufferings of labor, when the mill is paid no' to work, but the workingman is not. Upon the exclusion of Territories which lune grown io the stature of States, upon Civil Service re¬ form, Chinese immigration, Hen-ions, Tem¬ perance, the Fisheries, and other topics, bia views are concisely Stated. Tho allusion to tho muddle tho Administration has made of th" .oiitroM'i-.sy with Canada is as dignified as it is severe. The l.-tter ls worthy of (he leader of a great party, and demonstrates bis fitness f,,r ti,,, Presidency as well as th" public need that the principli s be represents shall prevail lt is tho letter ol a good fighter. THE NIAGARA FALLS RESERVATION. A b''I" less than "en years ag., tho public- ipi ri ted movement I" iking 1>. tho rescue of th" balls of Niagara from the hui,.!- of vandals egan to tal." .shape in this State. Lucius dobinson, who was then Governor, in one of n's annual m ---age- suggested lha' some atepa ihould !". taken to protect ami improve tho oenery about the Falls. A year or two latei h.- Cominis-i'iii rs of the Mate StlTVOy, a' th" pijuest of th-- Legislature, presented a report ai the subject. Thof recommended that the .bs and oilier fes exacted from viaiton to he balls should be abolished; that th" de- trtiction of the forMtS which formed "tho lerfeet letting" of the great wonder should bo iromptly arrested] arid that th" State -h..ubi icquira posaeasion oj tho water-front io thai h<- mills, fsjctorieo and other strn.'l urea which lefaced tho aeenery might be removed. 'lins et tho ball in motion, and before it stopped ollini, tho Legislature passed a bill providing for a State reservation at Niagara and making the necessary appropriation. This reservation has now been open to tho public since the summer of 18**."). In that time a great reform has been accomplished. Most nf th" -harks that need to fatten upon those who came to thc Palls have been driven away. Th" unsightly structures a! different points which were such an offence to tim flryefl of tho appreciative aJghtVaeer have been taken down. The bridges, paths and roads of the reservation havo boon repaired. A cheap cari iago service has been put in operation. But although much has been d'ne much re¬ mains to ho done if tho leaeivatioii is to ho worthy of New-York. The Commis-ii.tiers in their report of last year wrote; "Tho work of destruction (of tho structures on the banks) must bo followed by ono nf const ruction. Tho banks and islands stripped of their natural f..re«'s lu make way for these buildings now removed must be replanted.'1 Thia recom¬ mendation is renewed and elaborated in tho last report of the Commissioners which has just been published. Tiny urge that the gen¬ era! plan be adopted for the improvement of the reservation which has been prepared upon their invitation by the eminent land-cape archi¬ tects, Frederick baw Olnwted and Calvert Vaux "Tho plan,"' say theoO archit-ects in their report to tho Commission, "aims at noth¬ ing elso anywhere on tho reservation hut to link" a suitable provision of roads and walks, of platforms and scat- at ihe more important points of view, and of other accommodations such as experience has shown to be necessary to decency nnd good order, when largo num¬ bers of people como together. It looks to such operations a.s will be required to prevent. th"so provisions from appearing harshly intrusive upon the i,a:ural scenery, and to guard tho el..mints if na;::;'.il scenery from injury and secure ilo-ir healthy development." W" think it will be generally agreed that this i- a sensible and net too ambitious plan. It is nut calculated to call for an excessive, ex¬ penditure "f money; it would fittingly com¬ plement the work already accomplished\ it would add vastly to the at! rael ions of the " ervation. And if needs DO argument to provo that sorne comprehensive plan should be adopted. All experience proves that work of ibis soil prosecuted ar haphazard with no at¬ tempt to conform th" details to some intelli¬ gent central idea is of the COStlieS! and must unsatisfactory sort. Tho matter will ooma be¬ fore tho next Legislature, and [I is to be hoped will receive ibo attention it deserves, In their laal report the Commissioners show that the Falls reservation on th" Canada aide la ni peri or to our own. Th" Canadian park rnm- 118 ;: rei of land, extending from the n House along and ap the river bank ¦ distance Of two and one-half miles. "The improvements already wrought upon this un¬ equal streich of river front,'' says the report, "servo to bring out in strong light the need of corresponding work on the .American side.''

Tho Republicans hoped for a large plurality, but had nor vent io claim more 'han 12,000 or 1 1,000. The Democrats confidently expected to cut down the Republican plurality to about 8,000. \ result differing so widely from tbe expecta¬ tions of both parties, in a State which is al¬ ii.'ivs thoroughly canvassed, has a signifii thal should be attentively considered. , It was to be expected thai 'ho vote would bo j large, and it appears to have boon the largei! over east. Maine, like Vermont, never easts : a full vote in Presidential elections, when the t result iii the State is certain: the full vote , conns out only in the State and -ional < elections preceding Presidential votes, [n 1884 the total rote In September was 142,418, and | in November only 130,462. At the State election In 1886 the total vote was only 129,053, and the Republican strength was diminished noi only by 2,500 itay-at-homea, bul bj an Increase of 2,683 In th" Prohibition rote over 1884. This yen- the Prohibition vote in the towns le md from has fallen off about 30 per cent compared with 18861 the Democratic vote has gained about 7 per cent. and the Republican vote has gained nearly is per cent. These changes indicate a plum. of about 20,000, and as Mr. Blaine tele¬ graphs, the larges! plurality since 1866, and a political revolu!ion. The figures in this eas" do not tell th" whole story. In 1884, with Mr. Blaine himself a candidate for the Presidency, it was natural that the Republican vote should be swelled and the Democratic vote diminished by State pride and personal liking for the candidate. No one can estimate the force of such Im¬ pulses, but it would be simply mendacity to deny that they had great force in tho Maine elections of 1884. A Republican vote greater than was then ca*' to aid the election of Maine's favorite to the Presidency, a Repub¬ lican plurality greater than Mr. Maine himself enid then obtain, is indeed "a political revo¬ lution.'' Nor is this alb Th" influence of Federal patronage In such a state ai Maine is large. and the entire influence of public patronage and office has been employed with the most unscrupulous zeal to break down th" Repub¬ lican parly in Main" ever since the two moat unsavory Democratic leaders, Pillsbury ami chase, were selected fur influential offices, while tin- chairman <>f the Democratic State Committee, Brown, wa- permitted tu make such appointments a- he pleased, even though he sold some for money. The business bas been overdone, no doubt, and tin' use af patronage for partisan ends has disgusted .some Inde¬ pendents. Nevertheless, th" direct Influence of Federal officers in every city, town and little hamlet has (eon considerable, and lias been 1 without re-erve. If the control of nil th" offices in Mame was worth thousands of tu 'h.- Republicans four .vars ag.., as Democrats then affirmed, and that force has been taken from one side and added to the other, the fact that the Republicani havo nevertheless a larger plurality than in 1--1 moans, indeed, "a political revolution.'1 The causei everybody known British free trade and British disregard of Ainerican in¬ terests.

It is an uprising of the peo¬ ple Hate that which has been seen in Vermont. and in Oregon._^___ AS ASSIDUOUS POLIT1CI iv. The accepted theory among Mr. Cleveland's admirers has alwavs boen that he was a plain, blUBt, honest man. ti uping along in the path nf duty in rugged disregard of ordinary po¬ etical consideration* Recent events have Juno much to dispel this delusion, "tu cause tho scales."' in the words of Representative Cogswell, uf Massachusetts, "to fall from the [¦yes of some and let them behold a.lire- tender.'' The humiliating BOOitfon in which he Administration has placed Congress in the Chinese exclusion matter, is am.flier proof tha; Mr. (.'loveland is an eager and assiduous poll- ieian, though not always an adroit one. In he hope of getting credit for a little energy in foaling wild the Chinese question, where H ittlo had been shown before, Mr. Scott, a- Mr. Cleveland'! next friend, introduced an ab- M.luto exclusion bill in the Bouse, arni forced ta passage, without waiting to reeeiie official *ontirmation from any quarter of tho reporl hat the Chineae Oovernment had refused to ratify the treaty. This was af best an act of peoa dtecourteay to a Government which has ihown us the greatest complaisance, first, it ibandoning her traditional policy and opening o us her territory, second, in cheerfully co- .perating with us to keep an undesirable class if her own people at home. It was not, apparently, until the Senate. laving received tho bill, made a formal call upon (tho 1'rosiib'tit for information as to ivhether tho treaty had been rejected or lot, that any effort was mid" te caji tho exait situation. When word carno hal tb" treaty was still under consideration ind had not been rejected, Senator Gorman, liter ;i conference willi Mr. Scott, begged to nive action delayed upon the bill, realizing the idiculous plight in which the President would ind hims* If, if the bill which, it aral well known, he bad inspired. ihould bo thrii-t at him just a' his time. A majority of th" Senate, composed .f both parties, niad" the mistake of pa-sin" ho bill, apparently with tho idea of leaving he responsibility willi the President, but i' teems likely now that this vote will be recon- a'dered and that th" Senate will refuse to pas- h" bill until it is officially informed that the reaty bas been rejected. This will save the .ountry from one ..f th" shocking diplomatic .hinders nf this Administration. A similar exhibition was mad" in the so- all".1 Retaliation Message bur years Mr. 'loveland's policy had been on" thai was sati¬ sfactory to Canalla, bu! not in the United ...¦'.i.s.

Mr. Cleve- and is bunting a second term with the sam. isaiduity bc hunted the first 'ALLISG-OFF IN THU PBOBIBITION VOTE. An Interesting feature of the Vermont and kaine elections is the decline in the Prohibi- iuii vote. There was no Prohibition candi- ate fur Governor in Vermont four years ago. nd comparison must be made with St. John's ote for President, which was 1,703. Thia ear the Prohibition candi.lat" fur Governor as only 1,830, and there is no nason to inp¬ ose General Fisk will have any inure in No ember, as his party made an earnest canvass n Governor, 'lins is a falling-ofl of almost tact ly one-quarter. A similar report cuni... tum Maine. Jt will be some dayi before tho lacl figures are known, bul there seems to be o doubt that a considerable falling-off baa aken place there als... The equivalenl in New-York of the reduc¬ ion in either of those States would give llar- ison and Morton thirty-six electoral votes. nero are g.1 reasons why a decrease maj e expected.reasons both National and State. mee the last election a new Issue has been on. .1 upon the people, that of the preserva- iun of our ayatem of manufactures, upon which lie prosperity of this great Commonwealth de- ends. Very many oi the men who have for cars past voted the Prohibition ticket believe !iat this question is of vital importance.

My reputation as it campaign worker is at stake." Then he returned to the chess game. An admirable letter, General Harrison; the country eagerly anticipates your inaugural ad- <!:''¦ -s. " The P,rooklyn Eagle" snys of President Cleve¬ land's last effort that, " it is a letter worthy of the man of Washingtonian character, Jefferson¬ ian prim-iples, Jacksonian courage, and Lineoln- ian greatness who wrote it." As a specimen of clTii-ive political push we think this ha.s not lieen surpassed since Mr. Lowell's remark about th.- " highest type of Americanism since Lincoln *as snatched from us.'' On Monday the country beard from the Presi¬ dent.a batch of feeble platitudes; on Tuesday from Maine-a plurality of '«*o,ooo Republican vol a; thia murnini: tn.ni General Harris, n.a bi¬ ter of acceptance full of sound doctrine, pit iii ly ami pointedly expressed. A pretty good week thus far for the party to which the people BBB about to commit their interests. A poet in " The Heston Courier" inquires of Sopt.mber, "What shall we call thee?" W- trust no Democrat will attempt to answer this question. For, in view of the figures of the Mame election ha will ba likely to call Septem¬ ber something unfit for publication. . ? Grover Cleveland.What's the matter with Main"? Uncle Sam.O, she's sdi right , " It 'fl not a contest," Bays General Harrison. "between schedules, but liefween BridtHspatl !,s." That ;s fhe gi-t of the question. The President would be rejoiced to think thar he had concealed it among his solemn platitudes so that the voter WOUld BOt 100 it- But he ie denied thar satisfaction. Oregon sees it; Vernon; -es it; Maine sor-s it; and the rest of the country ls only waiting for November 6 to inform tba President that everybody sees it. -.^_._ Once there was n man who got enueht out In lb" Unin.

" (>," replied the Man, " I really hadn't noticed any Humidity to apeak of." M.-ral,.Thia tabla leaches what " The Evening Post" means when it i-nys Unit "tho Democrats ire aatiitled with tho Maine election." ? What n contrast between the Democratic cindi- lat"'s laborious effort to say something and not to -ay too much and the Republican candi.tate's oom- pact an'! comprehensive enunciation of pro.it. prin- iplesl What, a contrast between Mr. Cleve land's dismal conviction that, the people, haring found him oat, will presently cast bim out, and reneral Harrison'! Inspiring assurance! from Ore- gon, Vermont and Maine that the people, having found him, will presently brim,' him into the White llollSe Perhaps lt was just as well for the Presidi n' io triv-e consistency to the winds. To have under¬ taken to reconcile ins a -ceptance of a second nomi¬ nation with his deprecation of th" " ollurenients -f [low:-," the "temptation to retain pubiio office .nee gained," etc., would have boen too forbidding i task even for bis laltatory intellectuality. General Harrison's letter of acceptance expresses lhe man. lt. is the utterance of a frank, thought¬ ful, far-seeing, lelf-reapecting American, with a dean oonsoienoe, a clear lead and a clear record PERSONAL.

GENERAL llA RR ISOWS FUTTER.General Harrison baa never been a sensa¬

tional figure in our politics. Even in highpublic Station he lins been self-contained, dig¬nified, unassuming, and so lias attracted a

smaller shan' of public attention than manymen conspicuously his Inferiors, both in na;uralability and the qualifications of statesmanship.A laige proportion of the people nf ibo countrywere made well acquainted with th" full meas¬

ure of his powers fur the first time by the re¬

markable series of his speeches, beginning im-mediately upon bis nomination, and continuingalmost daily until now. Tho general admira¬tion which these evoked will bo intensified bythe strong, terse, epigrammatic letter of ac¬

ceptance Wilie!) we lay before our readers to¬

day.This lefter will take a high place in the liter¬

ature of our politics. It is in such effectivecontrast to the dull, labored, verbose anti ego-tistical letter of th" Democratic candidateilia' it seems aim. si unkind on the part of Gen¬eral Harrison tu bring them before the peoplein close juxtaposition. It is courageous, frank,simple and unaffected. Many of ils phraseopierce the Dem.mat ie armor like iword-thrusts.It is a letter that will make totes.

I'ecognizing the tariff as the chief, thoughnot tho only, question before the people, Gen¬era] Harrison stale; tlic issue with stillingclearness, sweeping away as with a breath thocloud of sophisms and false pretence! withwhich Mr. Cleveland endeavored to surroundit. Many of these sentences will become cam¬

paign watchwords. " Ir is not a cutest be¬tween schedules,'' lie s;iys, "but between wide-

apart principle!." He admits that "tho Millibill is only a Step," but be says, with quietforce, "tho important question is not so much'!>.o length of the step as th'-, direction of it."Thai st<p, lie shows, is toward " Free Trade intho English sense.'' which phrase alone sums

up the hypocrisy of the Demociacy, who are al¬ways whining that they mu-; m., bo calledr e Traders because they do not favor thcabolition of custom housi s, and would blindvoters ».. tho f.-nd thal the policy they wouldnow ent.r upon is what is understood by allmankind as a free-trade policy. lb- admirablycharacterises tho amateur political economistsnf thfl f ree-t-ad,- school 80 " student* of maximand not of the market!.'' Ai the same time hedisposes, in one sentence, oi the Democicontention thai because tho Republican party

- attachs upon the protective system llis therefore bound to maintain tho pntariff in every detail. " We do not offer a

fixed schedule," he saya, "but a principle." Indealing wiih tho question of immigration horemind! the workingmen that if they vote

away tho protective tariff they need hardlyc in .iii themselves with laws restricting ln>migra;ion, for it will make lillie difference" whether the cheap laborer is across iii" streetor over tho sea.'' Nothing in the letter isbetter than the dignity with which thc dema¬gogue cry of " free whiskey" is dismissed.There aro other question!, however, than tho

tariff, and General Harrison treats them withthe 'iiiiio candor and dirie! nos-. He givesprominence t,, f).o suppression of the ci,lon-.Ivote iii the Smith.a topic upon which tho let¬ter of the Democratic candidate displayed a

canting hypocrisy, no; to be contemplate d withpatience, sicing that the fad of thai suppres¬sion is admitted imf only in private, bm inpublic by many bad.is of tho party. GeneralHarrison speaks positively upon trusts, a- tbeChicago platform did. and especially of thesufferings of labor, when the mill is paid no'to work, but the workingman is not. Uponthe exclusion of Territories which lune grownio the stature of States, upon Civil Service re¬form, Chinese immigration, Hen-ions, Tem¬perance, the Fisheries, and other topics, biaviews are concisely Stated. Tho allusion totho muddle tho Administration has made of th".oiitroM'i-.sy with Canada is as dignified as itis severe.

The l.-tter ls worthy of (he leader of a greatparty, and demonstrates bis fitness f,,r ti,,,Presidency as well as th" public need that theprincipli s be represents shall prevail lt is tholetter ol a good fighter.

THE NIAGARA FALLS RESERVATION.A b''I" less than "en years ag., tho public-

ipirited movement I" iking 1>. tho rescue of th"balls of Niagara from the hui,.!- of vandalsegan to tal." .shape in this State. Luciusdobinson, who was then Governor, in one ofn's annual m ---age- suggested lha' some atepaihould !". taken to protect ami improve thooenery about the Falls. A year or two lateih.- Cominis-i'iii rs of the Mate StlTVOy, a' th"

pijuest of th-- Legislature, presented a reportai the subject. Thof recommended that the.bs and oilier fes exacted from viaiton to

he balls should be abolished; that th" de-trtiction of the forMtS which formed "tholerfeet letting" of the great wonder should boiromptly arrested] arid that th" State -h..ubiicquira posaeasion oj tho water-front io thai

h<- mills, fsjctorieo and other strn.'l urea whichlefaced tho aeenery might be removed. 'linset tho ball in motion, and before it stoppedollini, tho Legislature passed a bill providing

for a State reservation at Niagara and makingthe necessary appropriation.This reservation has now been open to tho

public since the summer of 18**."). In thattime a great reform has been accomplished.Most nf th" -harks that need to fatten uponthose who came to thc Palls have been drivenaway. Th" unsightly structures a! different

points which were such an offence to tim flryeflof tho appreciative aJghtVaeer have been takendown. The bridges, paths and roads of thereservation havo boon repaired. A cheapcari iago service has been put in operation.But although much has been d'ne much re¬

mains to ho done if tho leaeivatioii is to howorthy of New-York. The Commis-ii.tiers intheir report of last year wrote; "Tho workof destruction (of tho structures on the banks)must bo followed by ono nf const ruction. Thobanks and islands stripped of their naturalf..re«'s lu make way for these buildings now

removed must be replanted.'1 Thia recom¬

mendation is renewed and elaborated in tho

last report of the Commissioners which hasjust been published. Tiny urge that the gen¬era! plan be adopted for the improvement ofthe reservation which has been prepared upontheir invitation by the eminent land-cape archi¬tects, Frederick baw Olnwted and CalvertVaux "Tho plan,"' say theoO archit-ects intheir report to tho Commission, "aims at noth¬ing elso anywhere on tho reservation hut tolink" a suitable provision of roads and walks,of platforms and scat- at ihe more importantpoints of view, and of other accommodationssuch as experience has shown to be necessaryto decency nnd good order, when largo num¬

bers of people como together. It looks to such

operations a.s will be required to prevent. th"so

provisions from appearing harshly intrusive

upon the i,a:ural scenery, and to guard thoel..mints if na;::;'.il scenery from injury andsecure ilo-ir healthy development."W" think it will be generally agreed that

this i- a sensible and net too ambitious plan.It is nut calculated to call for an excessive, ex¬

penditure "f money; it would fittingly com¬

plement the work already accomplished\ it

would add vastly to the at! rael ions of the" ervation. And if needs DO argument toprovo that sorne comprehensive plan should beadopted. All experience proves that work ofibis soil prosecuted ar haphazard with no at¬tempt to conform th" details to some intelli¬gent central idea is of the COStlieS! and must

unsatisfactory sort. Tho matter will ooma be¬fore tho next Legislature, and [I is to be hopedwill receive ibo attention it deserves, In theirlaal report the Commissioners show that theFalls reservation on th" Canada aide la ni

THE RI I ni I lins IS MAINE.Th" magnificent victory in Maine is really

i surprise to ail parties. Tho Republicanshoped for a large plurality, but had nor vent

io claim more 'han 12,000 or 1 1,000.The Democrats confidently expected to cut

down the Republican plurality to about 8,000.\ result differing so widely from tbe expecta¬tions of both parties, in a State which is al¬ii.'ivs thoroughly canvassed, has a signifiithal should be attentively considered. ,

It was to be expected thai 'ho vote would bo jlarge, and it appears to have boon the largei!over east. Maine, like Vermont, never easts :

a full vote in Presidential elections, when the t

result iii the State is certain: the full vote ,

conns out only in the State and -ional <

elections preceding Presidential votes, [n 1884the total rote In September was 142,418, and |in November only 130,462. At the Stateelection In 1886 the total vote was only129,053, and the Republican strength was

diminished noi only by 2,500 itay-at-homea,bul bj an Increase of 2,683 In th" Prohibitionrote over 1884. This yen- the Prohibitionvote in the towns le md from has fallen offabout 30 per cent compared with 18861 theDemocratic vote has gained about 7 per cent.and the Republican vote has gained nearly is

per cent. These changes indicate a plum.of about 20,000, and as Mr. Blaine tele¬graphs, the larges! plurality since 1866, and a

political revolu!ion.The figures in this eas" do not tell th" whole

story. In 1884, with Mr. Blaine himself a

candidate for the Presidency, it was naturalthat the Republican vote should be swelledand the Democratic vote diminished by Statepride and personal liking for the candidate.No one can estimate the force of such Im¬pulses, but it would be simply mendacity todeny that they had great force in tho Maineelections of 1884. A Republican vote greaterthan was then ca*' to aid the election ofMaine's favorite to the Presidency, a Repub¬lican plurality greater than Mr. Maine himselfenid then obtain, is indeed "a political revo¬

lution.''Nor is this alb Th" influence of Federal

patronage In such a state ai Maine is large.and the entire influence of public patronageand office has been employed with the most

unscrupulous zeal to break down th" Repub¬lican parly in Main" ever since the two moatunsavory Democratic leaders, Pillsbury amichase, were selected fur influential offices,while tin- chairman <>f the Democratic StateCommittee, Brown, wa- permitted tu make suchappointments a- he pleased, even though hesold some for money. The business bas beenoverdone, no doubt, and tin' use af patronagefor partisan ends has disgusted .some Inde¬pendents.

AS ASSIDUOUS POLIT1CI iv.

The accepted theory among Mr. Cleveland'sadmirers has alwavs boen that he was a plain,blUBt, honest man. ti uping along in the pathnf duty in rugged disregard of ordinary po¬etical consideration* Recent events haveJuno much to dispel this delusion, "tu cause

tho scales."' in the words of RepresentativeCogswell, uf Massachusetts, "to fall from the[¦yes of some and let them behold a.lire-tender.'' The humiliating BOOitfon in whichhe Administration has placed Congress in theChinese exclusion matter, is am.flier proof tha;Mr. (.'loveland is an eager and assiduous poll-ieian, though not always an adroit one. Inhe hope of getting credit for a little energy in

foaling wild the Chinese question, where H

ittlo had been shown before, Mr. Scott, a-

Mr. Cleveland'! next friend, introduced an ab-M.luto exclusion bill in the Bouse, arni forcedta passage, without waiting to reeeiie official*ontirmation from any quarter of tho reporlhat the Chineae Oovernment had refused toratify the treaty. This was af best an act ofpeoa dtecourteay to a Government which hasihown us the greatest complaisance, first, it

ibandoning her traditional policy and openingo us her territory, second, in cheerfully co-

.perating with us to keep an undesirable classif her own people at home.

It was not, apparently, until the Senate.laving received tho bill, made a formal callupon (tho 1'rosiib'tit for information as toivhether tho treaty had been rejected or

lot, that any effort was mid" tecaji tho exait situation. When word carno

teems likely now that this vote will be recon-a'dered and that th" Senate will refuse to pas-h" bill until it is officially informed that thereaty bas been rejected.
