Mr.. HoARs LETTER - Hon. George f.
Hoar's letter, wherein he consents to become a
candidate for reelection, in obedience to the
request of many influential citizens of his dis
trict, is as follows:
1 see attached to your letter the names of
men who represent fairly, as it seems to me,
the business interests the moral sentiments,
and the best political opinion of this community.
1t does not contain the names of men who
hold or who wish to hold political office, and so
may be supposed 20 have any wish or interest
other than for the general welfare; or who
have been engaged in any angry controversies
in the past, and therefore may be supposed to
have their judgment blinded. cannot doubt
that you desire nothing but the public good
and the promotion of Republican principles
Under these circumstances have no right
to set up my individual judgment, still less my
personal interests or wishes, against the opin-
ion you express that it is better that my with
drawal from the Office of your representative
in Congress should be deferred | have no
right, having accepted nominations from the
Republicans of Worcester city and county
when it was great pleasure as well as great
honor to receive them, now to say that in de-
Gliding the question whether l shall continue in
their service, l will consult only my own wishes
or interests without any regard to theirs. If,
therefore, it shall appear at the coming cleo
ton that the people of the district agree with
you in the desire that l shall serve them an
other term, will do so as we'll as [ can.

New Sweden Again.

The rival journals of Presque Isle, which ap-
pear to proceed on the idea that whatever
sentiment one expresses must be combated
by the other, whether the subject is the cleo
tion OF representative, the price of cedar
shingles or the number of tracts distributed
by the local agent of a missionary society," insist
on making the condition and prospects of the
Swedish colony the subject of a dispute as Bit
ter and perennial as the Brooklyn papers do
the scandal of that city. 1t is now the regu
lar thing for each of these belligerent journals
to devote two or three columns week to it,
and such Democratic papers as attempted
to make capital by criticising and exaggerat-
ing the mistakes of Republican acts during
the war in 1925, are quite as eager now to
lend hand in making the people of Maine
believe that the Swedish colony is a failure
and Republican folly.
In the Presque Isle Sunrise of the current
week is statement made by Rev. Mr.. Wren,
the pastor and teacher of the colony. Mr..
Wren has been absent ON visit to Sweden
during the summer, and first heard the re-
ports of distress and failure on his arrival at
Portland when returning. He Immediately
repaired to New Sweden, and taking with
him Rev. Mr.. Wiberg, who is now in
this city, spent eight days in visiting
every family in the colony, taking the state
ment of every settler, with his signature at
tached, OF the number of persons in his fami-
ly with their the amount of stock owned,
the number of acres in crops and grass, the
number of acres under preparation for crops
another year, the value of buildings, etc. As
the result of this carefully elaborated census,
Messrs. Wren and Wiberg give the following
recaptulation of the colony:
In the whole Swedish colony, are 122 fami-
1913 children under twenty years Of age
Total, 564 souls. Of these families 81 need as
slstance, and IL have already received some as
siStance from the town of Lyndon, because thew
cannot eat their grain before it is reaped
threshed and ground. In the whole colony are
26 horses, colts, Al oxen, 121 cows, 9 heifers.
81 calves, 60 sheep, and "a pigs. Total of acres
felled and in preparation for crop next year,
653; acres in grass, $40; in wheat, oats, barley,
rye, peas, beans, and potatoes, 1893; total, 1891,
No account has been taken of land that has
Deen cleared and the settlers absent, many of
whom are expected soon to return.
Without comment on these figures, we
think that candid people will conclude that
this statement fully refutes the scores of idle
runners set afoat by mischievous and preju-
diced persons.

A WONDERFUL HoRsE.-The New York cor
respondent of the Boston Journal says that in
that city they have banker who in quiet
way has been gathering for some time the
speediest horses of the country. He has a
quiet stable out of the city, about an hours
ride away. Here he has track, and without
observation he is recording some marvellous
speed. He says nothing about his stud on the
street, and will not be questioned. Among his
treasures is brother of Dexter, gamey,
speedy horse, Of which marvellous things are
told. This out-of-the-way stable is just now
the centre of good deal of interest. Among
horseman it has been known for long time
that Methodist minister in Kentucky owned
colt of which marvellous things were told.
The animal was black as a raven ard bore the
name of Blackwood. The value of the horse
in the estimate of the owner, may be seen by
the pleasant little price that was put upon him.
The horsemen on the street laughed that
plain Methodist parson, in the wilGs of Ken
lucky, offered his animal for 100000. The
banker alluded to heard SO much of this colt
that he took trip down to Kentucky to 10 ok
at him. He saw him move. He describes him
as marvel. His nostrils become red fire,
bis eyes dilate and he seems transformed. The
captvated New Yorker offered $4,000 for the
colt. The owner received the proposal with
disdain. He did not even reply; ordered the
horse back into the stable and went into the
house. Another visit was made, and the horse
changed owners, fifty thousand dollars, it is
said, being the price. Now the plan is this:
When the famed horses that are to trOt on
your course have done their best, Blackwood
is to be trotted out to show what he can do
Those who have seen him move say he is the
most extraordinary animal ever seen in this

A Protest.
Ehe New England Temperance Camp
Meeting at Old Orchard Beach not n
Political Convention.

Noticing in the Advertiser of the 4th, and in
the Argus Of the 9th, that circular letter has
been sent out By some professed friends of tenn
perance, looking towards political action in
connection with our temperance camp-meeting
atOld Orchard Beach; On behalf of the com
mittee of arrangements, deem it my duty to
state publicly that this camp-meeting is not
called in the interest of any political party,
and any attempt to make it political will meet
stern opposition. The great and only object of
the association is to lift this blessed cause of
temperance into the admiring gaze of free
people.
To accomplish this we have sought the as
sstance of all religions and of all parties, in
the sweet hope that He who gave himself for
US all will crown our united efforts with His
blessing. FRANCIS MURPHY,

The Stomach as an Avenger.

For every breach in the laws of health that we
commit the stomach iuficts a penalty. Headache
billiousness nervous tremors, constipation, collie
heartburn nausea debility and mental depression
are only few of the punishments which an out
ragged stomach is capable of imposing upon u.s. To
bring back this vengefu organ its normal condition
to placate, invigorate and regulate it-there is
nothing in the wide world so potent as a course of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Under the operation of
this benefcent vegetable corrective and tonic the
gastric juice becomes pnre and healthful solvent
and resumes it's natural flow. The effect is the same
the hillary secretion, and In fact all the fluids of
the body and the final result is the removal of every
painful unpleasant symptom occasoned by the re-
belious action of the digestive organ.

A FEW so-called temperance men who &C.
casonally vote the Republican ticket, and
larger number of Democrats have issued pos
tai cards for the temperance men of Cumber-
land county to meet at Old Orchard Beach, in
York county, to nominate temperance can"
didate for sheriff. a man with this smallest
amount of sense knows that the Democrats
are eager to foment something of the kind Tor
the purpose of increasing the chances OF their
nominee for sheriff, who isn't specially NOM
mated for the purpose of securing temper
ance vote. Just what the other party to this
business desire we think it will trouble
them to explain, unless it is to elect
Democratic sheriff instead Of Mr.. Pennell,
who has the reputation OF being a careful
officer, taking whatever fees tue statutes al
low him, as it is the custom of sheriffs and
other officers to do. The temperance men
who take part in this matter may rot de-
sire to aid the election OF a Democratic sheriff,
but just so far as they engage in this scheme
they will be the cats paw of the Democratic
monkey. 1t is said that these parties propose
to use the name of ex-Sheriff Perry, but we
have been informed that he will not allow
himself to be used for this diSreputable bust
| ness. Elsewhere is a notice of the President
| of the Maine Reform Club Association to
these gentlemen that they are not wanted at
| Old Orchard on such business.

Democratic sanction. That's all there is
about this.
