The Gordon Trial.
BELFAST, Nov IL, 1873.

DELrAoI, NON. Ii, 1919.
To the Editor of the Press:
The Gordon murder trial is fairly under way.
The jury visited Thorndike this forenoon under
charge of the sheriff and examined the Gordon
homestead and scene of the tragedy, making
themselves acquainted with the locality in IFS
different bearings. They returned on the nooa
train and at p. m, the court came in.
County Attorney Fogler opened for the State
in an argument occupying about two hours, in
which he presented a resume of the history of
the case, and an outline of what the prosecu-
ton prop sed to prove BY evidence, showing
that John True Gordon is the guilty man.
Col. Foglers argument was ably rendered, al
though he was suffering with a severe cold.
He is ont of the most popular of the younger
members of the Waldo bar.
The witnesses for the prosecution were then
called. Eighteen answered and were sworn.
1t Is understood some so or more have been
summoned.
The first witress nut on the stand was Eden
E. Ward, about Is years old, who was the hired
man at Gordon's at the time of the murder,
and whu first discovered the fire and gave the
alarm. His evidence occupied the rest of the
afternoon. 1t only duplicates John T., Incl

and perhaps will run into next. John 7. the

A PaterDal Guyernment.

The fact that there is to be large amount
of deprivation ifnot actual suffering the com
Ing winter in consequence Of the general
stacnation Of business, is one that will lead
all right minded people to consider by what
means the general hardship can b. reduced to
a minimum. One class may suffer most but
Indirectly all must affected thereby. In
higher and truer sense, there is no man so in
dependent of humanity in common, that he
should not be concerned with the matter of
their general well being
Already several schemes have been pro-
posed to give employment to the laboring
classes but it is evident that no general relief
can be expected until the present financial
trouble is over and confidence is again re-
stored
Among the plans proposed is that of the
lnternationals OF New York, who laydown the
principle in their memorial to the President
that ''all penniless, hon eless and nvolunt rily
idle persons are the wards OF the nation and
therefore should be taken care of by the gov
eminent. They, therefore, resolve that "work
on large scale must be Immediately furnish

end they resolve that Congress should at once
pass bills to build railroads and canals just to
give employment to the people who wish it.
They take it for granted that the Govern
ment can do all things-that it has abundant
means to lavish in such projects and il it has
not it can make paper money. 1t is said that
the leaders of this organization are foreigners
who have always been taught to consider the
government as separated from the people and
exercising parental care over them. st the
present time this conviction that the govern
ment owes industrials support is held ex-
cldsively by place seekers.
Another class which includes many partizan
journalists attribute all the present difficulty
to Congress and declare that it has the solu-
ton Of the problem in its own hands. This
class of demagogues would have us believe
that by some stroke of policy, some special act
of legislation, Congress can restore public
confidence, set business to running in its
channels, pour millions of money into the
country and set the wheels of every Industry
at work. They practically say that our gov
eminent is paternal; that it can compel the
timd hoarders of greenbacks to put them in
circulation, direct the owners of factories to
run the' at loss, cause people to buy cloth,
to build houses and extend railroads.
Doubtless Congress may be able to do
something to establish confidence and thus
bling prosperity to business circles; but it can
do nothing superhuman and whatever it does
cannot have immediate effect.
The only practical way to remedy the evils
of the hour and reduce the amount of suffer-
ing, is for all in their own circles to do their
utmost to relieve those who may need assist
ance-to give all the employment, extend all
aid that it is possible-to exercise that charity
that in hours OF prosperity, we too frequently
forgot

SUNDAY SCHOOL AssoCATIoN.-The Contra
Division of the York County Sunday School
Association convened at the Baptist church in
Springvale, Tuesday. Delegates represe nting
the towns of Alfred, Lyman, Buxton, Lebanon,
Shapeigh and Sanford, were in attendance.
The couven ton was organized by choosing
Rev. j. Kyle. chairman, and Rev. E. Z. Rob-
erts, secretary. The morning session was thin
ly attended and the business transacted unim-
portant. The afternoon and evening sessions
were devoted to the discussion of topics init
mately connected with Sunday School work,
acceptable addresses being delivered by Messrs.
Kyle, Roberts, Yeoman, Bixhy, Noyes, Libby,
Pearsons and Cousins The attend lnce from
the adjoining villages was small, and but little
inte rest manifested by the audience. An eff
fort to unite this division as permanent or
ganization, distinct from the county assoca-
ton was not acted upon, in consequence of the
limited numbers present.

A son of Speaker Blaine has temporarily re-

ing been engaged in a hazing scrape. Papa's

The facts in the case slightly modify this
statement Walker Blaine, Chester Dawes (son
of Congressman Dawes, and a youcg Mr.. Mar
ion of Brooklyn, N. Y, were "sent home" for
brief period, MT for "hazlng'' but for being
found in company with some who had been en-
gagged in that silly sport. Not being willing to
dvulge the names OF the actual "hazers," the
three young men were compelled to receive part
of the punishment due to others. The Faculty
said their statements were true, but as they
are determined.to break up the barbarsm, the
three fell into difficulty similar to the tradi-
tional mishap of poor Tray. Young Blaine is a
thoroughly gentlemany and we'll bred Young
man, of high character and correct department,
and the fact that he is the son of a public man
is not good reason for bringing hun before the
public in so unfavorable light especially as it is
unjust.

that this company was incorporated by the

ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMEs-The Milwau-
kee Wisconsin relates the following:

kee Wisconsin relates the following:
"AfteJ the crash of 81, when everybody was
almost scared to death, and the croakers pre-
dcted that the country had gone to smash, a
dry goods house was opened in this city,
wfich proceeded on the principle that in order
to reach the boarded money in the pockets of
the people the proprietors must sell at very
reasonable prices and advertise very largely.
They worked vigorously upon this principle
Their brother merchants who did not advertise
predicted that the new corners would be ruined,
az they paid too much for advertising. Never
theless, they persisted. In single year they
paid five-hundred dollars in GOLD to the Daily
Wisconsin for advertising, and at the end of
seven years they retired from business vito d
fortune of one hundred thousand dollars,
while other merchants on the same street, some
of them opposite their store, had failed"
Upon the above the New York Evening Post
comments as follows:
We remember similar instance among our
own advertisers in the panic of 1857. A mer-
chant continued bis advertisement in our col
umns through the whole period of stagnation,
and notwithstanding many predictions that sit
wouldn't paw" His testimony afterward was
that his sales were steady and his profits satls-

A financial panic does not mean that no one
has any money. There is plenty of money in
the country, and those who hoard it are Just
the ones to be eager for the bargains which a
fall in prices holds out. But to buy they must
know where to buy,and the merchant who tells
them will receive their cash.
