NOTWITHSTANDING the assortions of ehronic croakers, tho country is getting along pretty well. During the past de- cade nativoal and state debts to tho amount of one billion dollars were wiped out, while the wealth of the country in- creased forty per cent, reaching the splendid total of seventy-one and a half billion dollars, or an average of one hun- dred and elovenand a half dollavs for every man, woman and child in the count Toe final footing of the election in Maineshows a republican plurality of nearly ninoteen thousand, the largest in any “off yenr” sincel879, The total vote Is twenty thousand short of that cast in 1888, Compared with the voteof 1886, the republicans show a 10ss of five thou- sand, while the democratic vote fell away twelve thousand.

The decline in the republican vote of Vermont at the recent tion was a ter encouragement to the democracy than it has derived from any other politica of the year. The state also reduced, but this fact was not allowed to mitigatd the enthusissm of the party what they con- substantial evidence that one hitherto impregmable stronghold of republicanism was weakening, and upon this apparent fact thess organs harped for days in merry chorus, The trath is that the vote inVermont shows simply that the republicans of that state wore interested in political affairs in thisoff year thanusual, and the party 's Ind made comparatively little eflort to arouscan intes The cam-= paign was one of the quictest inthe history of the state, and the confidence of the republicans in their ability to win uced to widespread apathy in the paty rvanks. This sort of thing is always 1o boe reprehended, because the duty of w mwn to his party mands that e shall at all times when d give it the support of his but it is a common in years immediately following o dentiul election, In the case of Vermont it furnishes no good reason for asuming that the republican vote veally any less in that now than it was two years ago. But the happiness of the democracy over the resultin the Green Mountain state wis of brief enjoyment. The ver- diet of Maine swept it away completoly, event wis organs ove ceived to be loss st upon mee pr i oxp state ns are ens deavoring to explain thesplendid repub- lican victory in the Buy state by charg- ing that it was the work of money. Yet it is unquestionable that for every dollar spent there by the republicans the democrats put out one hundred cents, and espeeindly was this the case in the Rivst district, represonted by Speaker Reed. Nev s th a more vigor- ous and determined effort to defeat a candidate than was made by the democratic managers to defeant Mr, Reed. The chaivman of the national committee, Senator Gorman of Mavy- lund, sent thousands of dollars into that distriet, asir millionaire democratie senntor heing eredited with having given over twenty thousand dollars to be used entively against Roed. The to believe that so far as the First distriet of Maine concerned the democrats spent more money there than the republicans. But the republicans Al organized and their dis- tinguished leaders did not permit their intorest in the campaign to flag. The resuit attests the value of their efforts, There is an obvious lesson in these re- cent political events which appeals to the consideration of republicans every where. The chief danger to the party in the republican states is from either apathy or over-confidence. So far as the principles to ba contended for are con- cerned,the claim of the republican party to confidence and support is as strong as it has ever boen, and theve is ab- solutely nothing in the recent eonduct of the leaders of the demoer or in the promises to be inferred from the courso of the representati of that party in congress, to warrant any change of opinion regarding its ability or its willingness to conserve and promote the interosts of the peopleand the welfare of the country. The course of the party in congress has shown that it has no sin- cove concern for the gencral good, and especially that its professions of regard for the great farming cluss are meaning- less and dishonest. The duty of repub- lican leaders is so plain as not to require particular elucidation, and if faithfully performed the column of republican states will remain intact, > s reason were W PRIMARY ELECTION KEFORM. Tt goes without saying that the pros- ent priu clection law is dofective in many -points. We doubt, however, whether the regulations vroposed by the Saeventh ward vepublican club can be legally enforced before the presont law is amended 0 as to accord with the pro- posed reform. It is doubtful whether 1y republican ean bo legally disfran- sed ot o primary election because he is not a member of a republican club, un- less indeed that should be made a pre- requisite qualification by the republican state and county central com:mittecs. For instance, the spublican state central — committeo issues a call for a state ation to be composed ofa given numbor of delogates in the » counties, All republi- cans, irrespective of faction, ave invited to send representation, and it is e pected that free aceess will be given to all republicans to participate in the primarics, If the county or ward committee should take upon itself to exclude re- publicans who are not members of elubs, they would do so in violation of the state committee’s call and lay a foundation for a contest inthe courts and in the convention, The object of all primary clections is to give free scope to members the party for an untram- meled choico of andidates, and after a free ballotand a fair count is had to proclaim the ¢holee of the majority, and exact adhesion to this choice at the clection, The only conditions that can be prescribed undor our primary law must relate to the political standing of the voter and his pastand future sup- port of party candidates Years ago before any primary lnw was enacted, THE BEE advocated a radical roform of primavies by registration of the members of each party. When this reform was adopted by the republican county central committee, it pro- voked the opposition of what was then known as the nilroad gang that had controlled and debauched our primaries by promiscuous voting and organized repeaters. The result was that the first primary under regis- tration was a series of rowdy raids and riots. Judges of eloction were violently assaulted, ballot boxes were smashed and peaceable voters were driven from the polls by rowdies. Finallya sufficient number of committcemen were bought outright with corporation boodle and the registration system was overthrown and revoked, Such outrages can no longer be per- petrated now that primaries are under legislative control, but the cony spoo | the right to voto at wisteation of voters w suld dnonropine [ Marrison, Haysprings, Ho foneffect the veforms sought tobe ac | holdt, Winden mnd § SEPTEMBE racuso.

The senate has passed two bills pro- viding for ship subsidies, One of these proposes a tonnage hounty and the othor makes provision for subsidies in tho form of mail contracts, The fivst applies toull clusses of vessols above a certain tonnage, while the other mewsure culls for the construction of steamships of a specitiod eharacter, which could be made available in an emergency as war voessc Both of these bills rccived o good ma- jority in the s and their sup- porters were sanguine that they would puss the house, where they have now been for nearly or quite two months, There has been no fntimation, how- ever, that they are likely to got through atthe present session, and the indic- tions are that they will be allowed to go over. It is nacossary that something shall be sacrificed if the natisnal treus- ury is not to experionce a deficit, and it isquite probable that the leaders of the majority inthe house have decided that it is the moat expedient thing to do to postpone the subsidy bills, They would require somewhere from three to five million dollars within the next yoear, and afterwards a considerbly larger amount, and even socompuratively small asumas this may just save the wvenues of the government from falling below the exponditures. It isevident that the treasury s going havea vory close shaveas itis, unless thepresident should as a matter of safety vetothe twenty- five million dollar 1 and harhor bill, and under such circumstancos the adoption of a ship subsidy policy would be rather hazardous from a party point of view. Besides, many of the membors of the majorityin the house may hesitate, and very reasonably s0, about giving their approval o a s tem which they would find no little diffi- culty in justifying to their constituents, particularly those of thewost and north - west, who would not be easily convincod that it would b2 inthe general interest 10 use tha public money in this way., It is quite likely, therefore, thut the advo- cates of ship subsidies have bheen in- duced to abate the pressura for this leg- islation and await a more auspicious time for rencwing The longer the subsidy hemos are delayed the less ehancetheyshould have of succeeding, but it must. be confessed that their promoters have secured a vory decided advantage in getting them through the senate, If the house does 1ot ack upon them at the present session, which scems probuble, it is very likely to doso at the mnext. Meantime those who are opposed to the policy, us wrong in principal and certain to place a lirge und growing burden on the national treasury, should not be inactive, to THE September crop report of the de- partmentof agriculture does not show any improvement in the crop conditions in the country.
