Tee Democratic State Committee, having,
after critical examination concluded that
the party in Maine is not defilnct but sleep
ing, it is hardly in keeping with good mar :
ners for one of the rank and file to set himself
about contradictng the recognized doctors of
the patient Nevertheless the Machias
Union has done this very thing, and
asks its leaders why they insist in any further
attempt to make sensible men believe that
there is or can be any life in the old organiza.
ton in Maine. 1t declares that the best o.
Democrats enquire what is the good of max
ing nomination at Portland, and really
advises the State Convention to make nc
nomination, to pass resolutions denouncing
the dominant party, admit honestly that the
party is one of the things of the past, then
and there make finish of it and wait for
something to turn up.
There is evidently quite large number of
discouraged Bourbons. For seventeen years
they have valiantly gone up to State Conven-
ton, voted there to be victors and then been
beaten in September. They have held aloft
the party banner when it was little better
than rebel battle flag Now they are weary.
One of them wrote a letter to the Arson I'D
Uocate last week and this week another
speaks through the Maine Standard, where
at the editor snivels and scolds and patheti-
cally advises the patriotic Democracy to keep
on the old way and endure its accustomed de-
teats with becoming resignation. The Re-
publican journal, however, is cheerful and
confident. Its editor is the Mark Tapley of
the party leaders. He says respecting the call
for the Convention that "there is to be no
lowering of the banner and no backward
step"
The Oxford Register, the Bangor CONNER
cidt and other papers agree with the Belfast
Journal and it is quite evident that ma
jority of the Convention will stand by the
moribund organization, though very deter
mined and lively minority will make the con-
vention spicy unless muzzled.
1t has been demonstrated that the Demo-
cratic party is tenacious of life, but it has
never come about before that its own leading
papers have declared their want of faith in
It. Heretofore they have gone into battle
with flying flags and beating drums. Now
half OF them not only predict defeat this
year but always under the old lame.

Dear Sir-I have heard from very many sources of
the great success of VEGETINE in of scrofua,
Rheumatism, Kidney omplaint, Catarrh, and other
diseases of kindred nature. make no hesitation in
saying that know VEGETINE to be the most reli-
able remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My vile has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years, and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that we could hear OF
aud with all this she has for several years been grad
ualy growing worse, and the discharge from the
head was excessive and very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; l could that she improv-
ing ON the second bottle. She continued taking the
VFGETINE until she had used ION twelve to ff-
teen bottles. l happy in informing you and
the public f you chose to make it public)that she is
entirely cured. and VEGETINE accomplished the
after nothing else would. Hence feel justified
in saying VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy,
ami would advise all suffering humanity to try it, for
believe it to be good, honest vegetable medicine,
and shall not hesitate to recommend it.
am, &C.. respectfully,
l.. c. CARDELI,

IHE PATENT CIGAR Box.-The opposition
TO the adoption of the proposed cigar box is not
made because the box would not facilitate the
collection of the revenue or because it is ex-
pensive, but for the reason that its use would
stop certain practices of the cigar dealers,
which are both dishonorable in themselves and
dsreputable to the trade. 1t appears that
dealers are accustomed to sell the same cigars
under different names and brands, and this
box would interfere with the transfer of the
same cigars from one brand to another. The
question of its adoption is not yet determined.

ACCORDING to correspondent of the
Hartford Courdnt, in the Sandwich Islands,
Gems. Schofield and Alexander visited those
islands last spring to inspect the harbor oil
Pearl river and its shores with a view of Sc
curing it for coaling station and naval rem
devious in the Pacific, which is greatly needed
by the United States. In payment for this
cession, reciprocity treaty has been discus
sed, which proposes to allow the products OF
the Sandwich Islands to be imported to the
United States free of duty. The principal
product is sugar, and it is thought that quite
an extensive trade would spring up under the
proposed arrangement. 1t is further stated,
that King Lunalilo and his cabinet had decid-
ed unanimously in favor of such treaty of
reciprocity and cession of territory for that
purpose. President Grant and cabinet are
said to be favorably disposed; but as the
treaty affects the revenue, it must have tho
sanction of both houses of Congress.

Obstacles TO Science -.

In recent lecture at Penikese, Professor
Agassiz said:
The whole history of unsatisfactory theo-
ries, faults in science, wrong interpretations,
shows that they have arisen from endeavor-
ing to understand the facts before sufficient
evidences had come to light. Therefore, we
must be lenient toward those who hold oppO-
site views from ourselves, for they may con-
scientiously hold an opinion unsupportable
because they know but few of the facts of
the case. The more we know science, the
more lenient we become towards those who
! differ from us. 1t is interesting to see how
/ few the sources of knowledge are, and how
few investigators have lived. This is largely
owing to our wrong education; and l am
reverent enough to dare to say it, Christian
ity has operated against it. II has taught us
to believe and not to investigate. Investiga-
tors have been prosecuted by it-Galileo, for
example; and it is no wonder some scientific
men hate every form OF belief And yet the
time must come when they, belief and in
vestigation, will go hand in hand.

Under the new salary law all members
of Congress, except those whose seats are
contested, may receive their compensa-
ton monthly from the beginning of their
terms, as well during the recess as during
the session. All members, therefore,
with the exception named, are drawing
1925 month; and the salaries drawn
before single days service is performed
in December next, will be for each
1925, or 1925 more than full years
salary under the old law. The Ian
guage of the bill is that members of
Congress may receive their compensa-
" ton monthly, from the beginning of
t their term until the beginning of the
&c first session of each Congress" A
check for 1925 is sent monthly to every
member of Congress elected, though not
