Is there a man or woman who does not know the uses of quinine? But its effects are so serious with the many that they will not take it for chills, and thousands would use anything else in preference if they knew the article. Days Ague Tonic is far superior to quinine or anything else for the cure of chills, because it is not unpleasant to take, produces no evil effects, is pow erful antiperiodic, and when it cures the chills, they do not return, as with quinine.

THE deficiency in the State Treasury Is in
part due to the decrease in the savings bank
and railroad taxes consequent on the pro-
longed depression of business, but it Is also
in part due to the reduction of the State tax.
The first cause of loss will remedy itself; the
second must be remedied by legislation. 1t
is not pleasant time to increase taxation,
but the necessity seems to be imperative.
The addition will be so slight and the burden
so evenly distributed that it will not be griev-
ously felt. 1t is better certainly to submit to
a little more taxation than to run into debt.
The debt we have already incurred can be
discharged in more prosperous times. There
is no need of anticipating its payment. All
we need do is to be prepared to meet our OBJ
legations when they mature.

THE Aroostook senatorial election will
probably come before the Senate this week.
1t will be remembered that the Governor and
Council rejected the vote of Van Buren, be-
cause of informality and fraud, thus giving
Mr.. Burieigh, the Republican candidate a
majority of the legal votes. This decision, it
seems ought to give Mr.. Burleigh prima
facie right to the seat. But the council hesi-
tated because of the objections to Mr.. Bur-
leigh on account of his alleged ineligibility.
The question of inelgibility is probably the
only one that the Senate will consider at
much length, the action of the Council re-
garding the Van Buren vote being so we'll
founded. The presumption is certainty in
favor of Mr. Bnreigh, and it may be assumed
that he and those who voted for him knew
where he lived. He would not have been
nominated had any doubts been entertained
that he was resident of Aroostook county.
The Democratic claimant, Mr.. Madigan, has
been flying about the lobbies and cloak rooms
during the past week aud apparently enter
tains lively hope.

The Length of the Session.

The Legislature resumes its session to-day.
The committees will be announced and both
Senate and House will then be ready to set
tie down to work. The session does not
promise to be a lively one, but doubtless will
be profitable. There certainly does not seem
to be much to do, but no Legislature was ever
yet embarrassed for want of business, and
signs are not apparent now Of a millennium at
hand when all law-making may cease. Judg-
ing by the experience of past years theScom-
mittee-men will be up to their eyes in papers
before week goes BY.
But il few questions present themselves to
be acted upon there will be all the more time
in which to consider the subjects that are sub
mitted for consideration. Thus no excuse is
left for hasty legislation. There will be OF
course, as always, a rush of business eIamor-
ing to be disposed Of in the last busy days OF
the session, for men who have doubts of sue
ceeding prefer to trust to the chances of q
general rush when measure cannot be care
fully scrutinized for its defects. TIE best way
to guard against this is either to proleng the
closing days or to refuse to take action upon
any questions which have not been thoroughly
considered in committee. The people do not
wish long session unless there be a public
necessity for it; but they desire that their rep
resentatives shall take full time for the consd-
alton of all measures submitted to them.
Economy of time does not consist in hasty
but in profitable use of it.
Indications are that this Legislature will be
as good working body as any of its prede-
cessors. 1t certainly has much good material
in it and contains not few experienced legis-
lators. If it is debarred from distinguishing
itself by the magnitude of its labors it can at
least, as it doubtless will, command approba-
ton by the faithfulness and good judgment by
which it discharges what business there is for
it to do.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter welcomes
the New Year with considerable hopefulness.
1t says: That there will be heavy business
done is a probability based upon the conceded
fact that the present stocks of goods are
light, and the wants of the people, according
to all precedent, must be large. But the
sources of supply are practically lnexhausti-
bic, and the only way in which the manufac-
turers can secure to themselves fair prices for
their handiwork is by refusing, in the future,
as they have done in the past, to take orders
at rates that will not yield them just equiv
aent for their services and capital.

The Temperance cause was never more prosperous
in the State than now, for which we should be most
profoundly grateful. Still there important sub
1ects which will demand our attention. Shall we
ask for any change OF amendments in the PrOhibi-
tory Law? Shall protest against granting license
to sell intoxicating liquors to the druggists? Shall
ask for any stringent penalties to be infict
ed upon persons found intoxicated? These, and
other important questions will doubtless demand the
attention of the cOnyention.
Let there be general rally. The usual reduction
of fare on the railroads may be expected.
