There is only one way. but fortunately, it

momentous issue is to be decided, not so
much by the action OF Congress, as by the
people Of the country in the coming cleo

depression in trade is that the help may not be
left without something coming in at the end of
the month The reason tor not stopping all the
mills at once is that il is not considered expe-

mills will run alternate weeks. The Granite
mills, it is understood, will stop two week. and
run the next two. u hers will run three days in

With a republican Congress there can be no

poets for report Of the Potter Committee at this

started yet, and cannot hope to accomplish any
thing whatever in two weeks This will be an
other bad thing for the dcmocraic party. The
Congressional elections will be held on the is.ue
as it is defined in Mr. Pot ers letter, namely that
a revolution will be extremely probable with
democratic majority in the House. The people
will vote with that understanding, and Judging

Mr.. Key'sletter to the Southern peo-
pie against The Mexicanization of this
government as attempted by the Potter
revolutionary proceedings. will probably
have no other effect in the South than to
destroy whatever influence he may have
had with the democratic party. and cause
his expulsion from the organization. An
address is being prepared by the demo-
Gratis of Tennessee in opposition to the
letter. urging members of the party to
pay no attention to it. As the vigorous
protest of a democrat against the new
democratic rebellion initiated, it will
serve to arouse Northern people to the
danger threatening the country. and thus
may be of some benefit though il falls
dead at the South.

An aged saint has fallen on sleep Deacon Gid
con Barton died at hi. home in WinIsor, Thurs
day morning, after an illness OF but few DAYS
the machinery of life having worn out, and the
pendulum ceased to vibrate. Had he lived until
the 18Th of the present mouth, he would have
como, ted his niHefy-third year.
Gideon Barton was the son of Stephen Barton.
lie was born in kennt bee county, but his father
removed to Massachusetts when Gideon wa quite
young, returning again soon to Maine, where
nearly the whole of their lives were spent
He went to Windsor when Is wears of age, aud
settled on the same farm where be died. He
married Sarah Pierce of w Indsor, and had by
her thirteen children line of whom are still liv-
ing, as follows: Mrs. Clara Poor, Grove street
Augusta; Mr.. Samuel p. Barton of Windsor,
farmer; Mrs. Tarbell of Augusta; Rufus 7. Bar
ton of Windsor, farmer; Gideon Bartou Jr of
Windsor; Theodore Barton, on the home farm;

Der of family connections, and the venerable man
stood among them "a patriarch, respected amt
beloved by all. No man the town was more
thoroughly identified VITA its interests, or shaped
lis moral and religious aft iirs. HIS wife died A
years ago.
No one was more familiar with the history of
our own city. II" remembers how it looked when
he came here in 1903, and has watched its devel.
opment and ste ,dy growth with great interest.
He was the oldest man that was in the habit of
walking these streets. Some ten days since we
took him by the hand, and at hat time he bid fair
to live iull century. His eyesight clear bis
memory uufAiling, afhis mental faculties remark
ably robust. He had served as Selectman of his
town, represented it twice in the State legislature
and be Id many positions of trust and honor w lth
all moral reforms he was closely and personally
identified. II is said that he the founder OF
the ir,t temperance society organized IN Maine.
He was one of the fathers 10 the Baptist denom-
nation in Maine, and in his death that branch OF
the Christian church loses one of its corner trees
He has been deacon of the church at Windsor
since its organization. In politics he was an old
Wing; on the death of that party he found con
genial company within the republican ranks and
has there ever since acted and voted. We hope at
another time, and in com ete notice, to
do ample justice to the character of this good man
who has gone home to glory.
