CARvEKs HARBoR. The long and tedious
spell of foggy weather has been very uniayOr
able to the fishing fleet which has crowded our
harbor lately, resulting in very slim catches,
and in some cases in the loss Of the vessels
themselves. A case Of this happened last We'd

and Kerosene oil pickedup in the water of Long

good condition, and sold for 81 per barrel, the
oil they would not dispose of.....The large
crowds of fishermen about the streets are very

Then and Now.

1t was only q few weeks ago that an
Arooslook correspondent Of the Press,
who claimed to be Republican from the
start and bearing no personal illwill to
Mt Powers, spoke OF Mr.. Madigan, Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in the 4th
district, as follows:
1t is said that the Democrats will nominate
Hon. j. G. Madigan. He is Democrat, but
throughout Aroostook he is respected as an
honest man and a hieh-minded gentleman.
The best Republicans of this county, who have
gladly supported Peters and Hersey, and will
as gladly support any good Republican, will
vote for Mr.. Madigan against this man-Pow-
ers In my own vicinity l can count dozen
Republicans who have always voted the straight
ticket, who now tell me as between Madigan and
Powers they are for Madigan, and will give him
their votes if they vote at all.
Now the Press would have us believe
that Mr. Madigan is anything but an hon
orable and respected citizen; while its
party in the 4th district have substantial
ly promised to support Powers for repre-
sentative to Congress the next time! Ar

Bread and Butter in Knox.

The patriotic radical brethren of Knox
County, those who have their arms up to
the elbow in the public treasury, or are
pushing vigorously for chances of the
kind, met in County Convention at Rock

very numerously, or with great enthus-
asm. Still the representative men were
there. The deputy Collector OF the port,
with a sharp eye to revenue and rations,
took a prominent seat Our brother

induced to superintend Clark's Island

thither all the learning and weight of au-

officials, known and unknown - for they
are made 50 abundantly and concealed so
cunningly of late that census of them
ought to be taken every thirty days, if the
public are to be kept posted. The chances
are that pebbles couldn't have been tossed
into the crowd without each hitting on the
average $4,000 Of federal salaries.

The owners of coastwise vessels who have
been expecting to escape the a3ment of one
dollar per ton, owing to the revision of the
statutes, will be disappointed. The Secretary
OF the Treasury supposed that the revised stat
utes changed the law so that only thirty cents
could be collected per ton on undocumented or
coastwlse vessels. The subject has. however,
been referred to the Attorney General. who
decides that a tax of one dollar and thirty cents
per ton must be collected in the same manner
as before the passage of the revised statutes.
The Treasury Department had already issued
circulars to Collectors directing them to collect
but thirty cents per ton.
This is a very heavy and exacting tax,
which falls upon a class of people but
poorly able to bear it, The shipping in
terest is very much depressed large
