From the Boston Traveller
The Business Outlook.

The month of May has opened with the
the most sanguine anticipated three months
since
4 mornings visit to the principal commits
sion houses and iobbers has confirmed all
that the Traveller has heretofore expressed as
to the hopeful future The head of one of
the oldest commission houses in Boston re-
marked that the simple fact Of the banks ana
bankers taking the large number of govern
itself an indication of perfectly restored con
fidenee. and the immediate result of this was
the rise of stocks, and the unlocking of large
amounts of capital and throwing II out for in
yc,tment and the increased movement in
stocks has given confidence in other dircC-
tons.
MANY of the wooden manufacturers have
contracted for large amounts of goods months
ahead. and such mills a, the MddlcscN
Washington and Manchester are making full
up to their capacity.
The managing partner OF the largest cot
ton goods commission house remarked that Al
no time since 1870 have the jobbcrs expressed
80 much confidence in the future, and from
theoretical and practical point of view. he
felt convinced that the present year would
see business substantially where it was before
the war. The large iobbcr- ike jordan.
Marsh 4 Co.. who have heretofore kept their
stocks down. are now stocking largely.
The great feature of the last three months
has been the steady advance in cotton. owing
largely To the fact that the visible stock on
hand falls far below the estimates that have
been made. and the fact that the famine and
pesticnce through the English Eastern posse
sion, has reduced the crops and plant there.
thus compelling the English manufacturers
to rely mainly upon the American staple.

Gov. Garcelon i'm Georgia.

The remarks attributed to Gov. Garcelon
in a conversation in Georgia are causing a
good many smiles in the State of Maine,
not in the Governors party. but among
''the other fellows" Some think the
good cheer" set before him at Atlanta
caused his tongue to run with uncommon
freedom. or that words were put into his
mouth which he did not utter. For what
could the Governor mean when he spoke
with pride-as reported-of his victory in
Maine The fact is he was the worst
in the popular election last September that
has been known in this State within the
memory of the oldest inhabiiant. lie
slipped into the Governor chair by favorOf
the republicans of the Senate. who accept
ed him as a choice of evils. This certain
" was not victory to be proud of at
home. but as they see few Northern papers
in Georgia it might do to boast of down
there among the ku-klux democracy.
The Governor even got SO elated it APP
pears that he ventured to prophecy-and
what prophecy. He expects the State of
Maine to 90 democratic next fall by
10000 majority. He says that majority
is even now ready for the
polls. Imagine the delight which such
an announcement must have created among
the bulldozers. No wonder they told him
that if he could carry the radical. ramrod
State of Maine by snch a majority next
September he stood good chance of be-
ing the democratic candidate for President
next year. Anything is possible to a dem
ocrat who can carry Maine by 10000 ma
ioritv, think the bulldozers, and so also
do the most of the Governors constituents
when they are at home.
Last September there were cast in this
State for the three leading candidates for
Governor. total of 126. 1873 votes. Of
these votes there were cast for AonZo
Garcelon, the democratic candidate. 2s, POS
votes, all told; thus leaving the demo-
Gratis and their candidates in minority OF
1925. Now such thing as converting
so great an opposition as this into dem
ocratic majority of 10000 may be an easy
thing to do in Georgia, where the shot
gun and tissue ballots decide elections,
but Maine is not Georgia, the shotgun pol
icy won't work here if the Governor tries
it, and how he proposes To roll off the %
925 "agin" him. saying nothing of the
10000 majority he expects to get, is one of
the things that no sensible down-caster
can find out The whole State is in
broad grin over the Governors prophecy.

Starving the state Pensioners.

The manner in which the narrow. mean
policy adopted by the democratic green
back State administration affects the State
pensioners is seen in the following article
which we copy from the Gardiner Home
Journel:
The delay in paving the State Pensions
this year, is entalin@ great suffering on
many poor soldiers family. One family
in this vicinity with five children between
the ages of nine years and five months, the
Committee Of our President Association
found in a state OF almost absolute destitli-
ton. with three children sick with scarlet
fever. The father could get no work, and
his State pension which he has drawn three
years has not yet been paid this year
We understand that the trouble is that
the Legislature cut down the salary of the
Adjutant General. (who has usually at
tended to the paying of State Pensions. } so
that he refused to do the duty longer-as
he has never been required to do so by
law. This left the matter in the hands of
the Governor and Council, who have Just
completed an arrangement by which Mr..
Bunker will have charge of the paving of
the State pensions.
In the case we speak of, if this disabled
soldier family had been wholly depen-
dent upon the cold charity of the State
or rather the Justice of the State. they
would have starved.

At this moment twelve men in the au-

There was an omiLors silence in the

the Judge from behind the desk where he
had dropped:
Gentlemen, the dignity of the law
must be respected. The first great prin-

Do yon find the prisoner at the bar guilty

The foreman looked at his fellow-j -jur-

the foreman spoke up like n little man:
