A Swindle on Maine.

A correspondent of the Augusta Stand
ard, writing from Bangor, probes num-
Der Of the infamous swindles by which the
people Of Maine have been cheated by the
Gang Of radical thieves that now control
the state government The State of Maine
! had GRANT Of POO 900 acres of choice pub
lie lands from Congress for the support OF
an agricultural college. The writer then
proceeds to tell what became Of these lands
| as follows
Wisconsin SOLD hers for seven dollars
per acre New York disposed OF hers Tor
eight dollars an acre thereby creating a
| fund OF one million six hundred thousand
dollars, while other States made the same
disposition Of their lands and realized an
immense fund thereirom. But what did
Maine do with her lands? Did she dis
! pose of them as other States did, and real
lie from five dollars to eight dollars IN
acre? BY no means. The people OF Maine
had nothing to do with it.
Blaine's thieving ,Junto- (beg pardon,
| his loyul p0triot$) organized q CredH Mo-
| dHte1, on the principle of one Cakes Ames,
of blessed memory and sold the land to
| McnMehP&! How much do YOU suppose
themselves paid for it? Eight dollars
an acre? No. Six dollars an acre? No.
| one dollar an acre? No..,, But they
did pay the liberal sum Of fttY-tmo-au.l-0-
| ha1f nts IN acYe!t!, Remember the
sun-.j2 CENTS and ) MILLS the acre !!
The peop}e got S105 900, while Blaine's
"loval patriots'got TWELVE HUNDRED
| THOUSAND DOLLARS ~
This prodigious swindle robbed the far
mers OF Maine Of ayast fund. 1t blighted
the hopes Of the sons Of the fathers of
Maine, who We're expecting chat the State
would realize something that would assist
them in acquiring an agricultural educa-
ton at n low cost, and thus qualify them
tor the active and practical duties of their
honorable calling Through the action Of
Blaine's "loyal" swindlers, the Agrcul-
tural College at Orono has been made
mendicant and begger, instead of having
at its command a fund Of a MILLION OF
| DOLLARS!
Out upon these thieving rascals Let
us hear no more about ''loyalty' and
Fighting tor the flag till these swindlers
are brought to Justice Till the knayes
who lowered around and appropriated to
themselves, this vast sum OF money which
belonged to the people, are made to dis
gorge it
And that is precisely what the election
of Gen Roberts means. 1t means the
stopping at once and forever, this robbery
| of the people. 1t means a return to the
simple and economical way : OF our fathers.
1t means an honest. frugal State admins
tration Ii means the hurting from places
of power and trust II horde Of leeche5
who Tor twenty years have been sucking
the blood of the people.
Itmeans more than this. 1t means that
Blaine's troop OF plunderers shall be made
to disgorgc' The money which they have
stolen from the people OF Maine shall be
returned to the Treasury OF the State for
tn benefit of the people from whom they
stole it The swndlers now living shall
pay it back from their own pockets, while
the dead shall answer for it through their
living representatives :"

Riot in Lawrence.

\ serious riot between Catholics and
Orangemen occurred at Lawrence, Mass.
on the 18th, the anniversary of the Battle
Of Boyne. About fifty Orangemen. a few
of them in regalia, celebrated the day by
a picnic in the suburbs Upon returning
at seven o'clock in the evening, the party
was followed through the city by boot
ing and Yelling crowd of several hundred
In front of the Pacific Mills this mob be
gan hurting bricks and stones at the
Orangemen, and several of the latter
were seriously injured Policemen who
accompanied them We're also badly cut
about the heads. The mayor appeared
and ordered the mob to dispense, but with
out effect. He then marched in front Of
the procession, and was the only member
of the party who was not more or less in
jured At the corner of Union and Spring
streets nearly every man Of the Orange
men and the police was knocked over,
and in sell-detence the Orangemen drew
their revolvers and began firing. The
crowd was calling, ''kill the id
Orangemen" Edward Dernzy fired two
ehots, the elder Spnlow three, John Der
inzy two, and Grand Master Cassidy says
he empted his revolver. Policemen Gam
nell had no revolver, but received a four
barreled pistol from a friend in the crowd,
but 1t proved useless. No shots were fired
by the police. In all the Mayor estimates
thai twenty shots were fired a part of
them, it is claimed by the Orangemen, by
the crowd. The firing dispersed the as
sailants, but. as is usual, those injured

A correspondent at Castine write

A correspondent at Castine writes as
follows, under date Of July 9Th
The Acadian House was opened to the public
to-day. Two large excursion parties came in
steamers from Ninalhaven and Rockland the
managers of the Hotel, Clark Brothers, demon
strated this fitness for the place by providing
most bountitully for two hundred and fifty
guests. The dining room with its elegant chan
deliers, and neat tables most tastefuv ar
ranged presented beautiful appearance, while
the rich treat provided was tempting to an
epicure. The house is finely located, the
grounds rising i'll terraces from the water to a
height which commands magnificent view Of
bay .harbor islands, hills, forests, town. Neither
time nor expense have been spared to put
house and grounds in the best condition. This
hotel long needed, places Castine in the
front rank of summer resorts or objective
points for eXcursionists. The visit to old Fort
George, the fine State Normal school building,
the stroll through the beautiful streets of Ills
toric Castine gem of the Penobscot." render a
stay OF day or Il month most delightful. +.

The foreign mails bring full descrip-
tions of The terrible scenes Witnessed in
Dublin on the night OF the recent great
fire there The fire originated, it will be
remembered, in a malt-house where We're
stored immense quantities of whs!ley,
brandy and other spirits Owing to the
inhammable nature of these stores fears
were entertained that the contlagration
would be borne in Il resistless flood over
the city. The blazing Whiskey poured
literally in torrents from the building and
rushed down the streets in laya like
streams A vast crowd had. of course,
collected. but they had to fly tor their
lives before the blazing streams OF Whis-
key as they rushed kissing along The
flames from the whiskey streams rose to
the height of thirty feet, and as it poured
along, Tapped with its fiery tongues house
after house of the poor people. A most
narrowing sight was the spectacle OF these
people rushing from their burning houses,
some of them only half dressed, mothers
with little babies at their breasts, or inva-
lids tottering on some helping arm. The
streams of burning whisl>ey, which to
most people were appalling, offered to
others temptation which they could not
resist Many people got access to places
where it ran most freely or formed in
pools, and they resorted to every possible
eXpedient to obtain draughts. Some tried
to collect the liquor in their hats, and
others il their boots, and falling to salts
iy their craving by such means, they lay
down and Tapped the intoxicating stream
until some became insensible and were
dragged off to hospitals while others,
seized with The same mania, rushed INTO
their places and followed their example.
The number of deaths caused by this
drinking of hot whiskey far exceeded that
caused by the fire.

Schemes SEA WEED Tonic. In the at
mosphere experienced here during the summer
months the lethargy produced by the heat takes
away the desire for wholesome food, and fire.
quent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
tlcularly those suffering from the effects of de-
blltatlnS diseases. In order to keep a natural
healthful activity of the system, we must re-
sort to artificial means. For this purpose
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very etfectual. A
few doses create an appetite and give fresh vigor
to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is in
valuable. Many eminent ply sicians have doubt
ed whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured
by the drugs which are generally employed for
that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its ma
ture is totally different from such drugs. 1t
contains no corrosive minerals or acids in fact
il assists the regular operations Of nature, and
supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic in its
nature 50 much resembles the gastric juice that
it Is almost identical with that fluid. The gas
tric Juice is the natural solvent which, in
healthy condition Of the body, causes the food
to be dlgested and when this juice is not eX
creted IN sufficient quantities, indigestion, with
all IT'S distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea
Weed Tonic performs the duty Of the gastric
Juice when the latter is deficient Srhenck's

IT IS reported that Robert Dale Owen
has become insane, owing to his grief over
the Katie King exposure. 1t will be re
| membered that the number of the Allan
tic magazine, appearing almost simultan-
| eously with the publication OF the materl-
allied katie's confession, contained an
| elaborate article from MI Owen, in which
he claimed to prove that Katie was a spir
| itua' visitor. The imposture was dlscov-
cred the day before the article appeared,
and Mr.. Owen, who was the most honest
of enthusiasts, autographed to Boston to
cut out the article but it was too late. The
magazine was already printed. The shock
was too severe for him, and after some
months of physical illness, his reason gave
way, under the strain 1t should be add
ed, however, that the discovery OF the
Katie Is ING imp0sture did not weaken his
faith in spiritualsm. Mr. Owen was born
near Glasgow, Scotland, in 1904, and
came to this country with HIS father IN
| 1896, to assist in the socialistiC experiment
at New Harmony in Indiana. In 1880 he
entered the Indiana Legislature, where he
labored successfully for the Improvement
OF the laws in relation to women, securing
them independent rights OF property. In
| 1913 he was elected to Congress, and was
reelected in 1915. He introduced the bill
organizing the Smithsonian Institute and
was one of its first regents. In 1919 he
was q member Of the Indiana Constitu-
tional Convention and was chosen its
Chairman In 1893 President Pierce sent
him to Naples rs United States Minister,
u post which he filled honorably for five
wears He has written much, of late Years
chiefly on Spiritualism. His Foot falls
on the Boundary of Another World' was
published in 1860, and in lSG4"The Wrong
ofslaycry and the Right of Emancipation. "
