Try DAVIS Ague Tonic.

Qufnine removes the periodiCity of chill t0-days
but it Is apt to return on the morrow. All malG-
fious diseases require that the stomach shall be
unloaded, and the pores Of the skin opened before
final cure can be effected. Quinine nor any other
drug can possibly produce these results at the
same time hence permanent cure is seldom ef-

Bates College.

In the Morning Star of Nov - the President
of Bates College makes strong appeal to the
friends OF education, from which we take the
following facts: ''The actual floating debt as
reported last commencement by the Finance
Committee, is $51, So497, to put the matter
in another way, the debt. including the I'M
productive lands, is S57, So4.97, and the COM
mittee estimate the value of these lands at
$1,000.
In making an appeal to our friends for aid,
the Trustees have decided to call the floating
debt $50 900 In other words, they authorize
me to say that by the raising of $4,000 and
the payment of the Bates subscription and
other subscriptions that are considered good,
the college will have an income from 100000
with which To do lis present WORK. In view
of what the college has done for our theclogi-
cal school, the Education Society at its recent
meeting in Olneyviile voted to raise one-half
the sum to be provided for-that is, S25,000
/ thank the society for this manifestation of
sympathy, and only hope that they will be
able to do what they SO much desire to do
1t will be remembered by those interested
that the late BENZ e. Bates made three sub
scrptions to the college, amounting in all to
$500 600, and at the same time the denomina-
ton raised an additional 100000. This was
all for permanent endowment fund, and the
Trustees are resolved to keep it SO; but to do
this the debt of $4,000 must be cleared from
their shoulders, and consequently this strong
effort is being made by the President. The
friends of education pay the present floating
debt and place the college on q firm footing?

More Globe Falsehoods.

Nahum Lawrence, whom the Globe alleged
was discharged from the Vassalboro mill for
voting the Greenback ticket, pronounces the
charge falsehood. He has been at work in
the mill since election.
Mr. Reuel c. Burgess Of vassalboro pro-
nounces the insinuation that he bribed John
H. Preble to vote the Republican ticket a
falsehood Mr. PrebIe had always voted the
Republican ticket and intended to this year if
he voted at all. He could not afford to leave
his days work and had about decided not to
vote when Mr.. Burgess told him he should not
lose his days work by voting. Instead of
bribing Mr.. Preble he simply assured him that
he should not suffer in consequence of leaving
his work to vote.
Mr. Dwinal Pride makes affidavit that Will
liam V. Harmon did tell him before election
that his son Adelbert R. Harmon was not q
voter in the town of Westbrook, notwithstand-
ing Harmons denial. The question of veraci-
ty or understanding thus raised between
Messrs. Pride and Harmon is not one which
the public cares much about. The important
fact to know is whether Mr. Adelbert R. Har-
mon lived in Westbrook. Mr.. Harmon, who
ought to know where his home is better than
anybody else, says he did. The Democratic
Greenback board of selectmen of Westbrook
put his name on the voting list in that town
and Mr.. Merritt w. Stiles Greenback candi-
date for representative, made no fuss about it
until the count showed that he had been de-
feated by the Republican candidate by three
or four votes We submit that Mr.. Stiles
and the Westbrook fusionists would be en-.
titled to much more credit for sincerity in this
business if they had contested Mr.. Harmon's
right to vote before election.

The Postmastership.

Mr.. EDITORIALS several communications
have appeared in your columns, in which my
name was favorably mentioned in connection
with the Office of Postmaster of this city, and
as very many of my friends have asked me,
and are daily asking me, if | am a candidate
for that office, permit me to use short space
in your columns to answer all such inquiries.
When the subject was first mentioned to me 1
gave it no consideration; but recently SO many
gentlemen, whose opinion / respect, have
urged and advised me to be candidate I have
given the matter serious attention, and have
yielded to their solicitations so far as to say to
them, what 1 now desire to say through your
columns, that if my friends wish to present my
name to the President for appointment to the
Office of Postmaster of Portland, 1 have no
objection, provided the means used shall
largely be free and voluntary ON their part,
and entirely without pledges on my own. ii
he shall appoint me, will accept the trust and
endeavor to discharge the duties OF the Office
to the best of my ability. / desire to assure
the public that the position the office confers
shall not be used for the advancement of sell
fish ends, nor in the interest of any party
cliques. With this general statement of my
position, leave the m latter entirely in the
hands of my friends.

of a'mad dog, and explains "that this is un-

can be made more easily to crawl over live
C ais than white oak leaves" The connection
between mad dogs and rattlesnakes which
this explanation seems to imply is not very APP
