N'ii''9 diioNcu by tnc late commission, are
becoming familiar with the nice little gam
OF 'noW you see it and now you don't" S.
many OF them don't see it that a big muss is
brewing, and Mr.. Hume of Cherrylield. ha-
set to work to find out Just where the little
joke is. An honest, square investigation
such as Mr.. llumc wants, and rs many rad
cals preteH@ they want, would bring strange
things to light, but it is no easy matter to got
such an investigation, If the toes to be step
| ped on were encascd in cow-hidcs instead
Of patent feathers, and the swindling been
confined to hundreds OF dollars instead al
J hundreds of thousands, or if the mana~o-
menl of affairs when the alleged frauds wclo.
committed had been in the hands of the .'ras-
cally democrats, it would be an easy matter
In that case Barkis would be perfectly Evil

The investigation, if made, will only prove
that . there is as much difference in some
folks as there is in anybody" and considerable
more. 1t won't do to bring any of these

say amen.
| The County Supervisors of schools have
been in session at the State House the pas
week. Every County was represented. The
exercises consisted of discussions ON the hes,
modes of instruction and discipline for
schools, and the reading Of papers by differ
ent members, on various topics pertaining IN
| our school system. That the plan Of County
Supervision is doing some good cannot Inc
| questioned but the idea is prevailing to some
| extent that the money it costs to run the ma.
chine could be expended in some other WAY
with better results. The Supervisors, how
| ever don't think so.
| The Madawaska contested election case ha,
| been decided by the Committee on Elections

In short P. G. is democrat-republican
