The Angove highway robbery contin-
ues to be mystery. On Saturday fore
noon it was thought evidence had been OBJ
tanned which pointed strongly to the guilt
of the parties already arrested. Report
connected the wife Of one Of the prisoners
with the affair and telegram was sent to
Newport to have both OF the women and
the child brought to Bangor on the evening
train. During the afternoon additional
particulars ascertained by officers who
have been making thorough investigation
dispelled the evidence obtained during the
forenoon, and there being no satisfactory
proof against Edwards and Todd, they
were discharged and allowed to go free.
| There Is q very sensational rumor cur
rent to the effect that the murderer Of VIM
Elliott Of Glenburn, has at last been dis
covered. He (the assassin) having con

with the story OF msdemeanor recently
committed In Fredericton, n. B., early IN

both named Lee, one an uncle to the other
were captured and the third is still at large
A reward Of $500 is offered for his captur,
by the Mayor Of Fredericton. 1t is viii
the Lees that the rumor has to do. Tn,
younger man, the nephew, is named Georg,
and both be and his uncle formerly live,
In Glenburn, near Bangor. They both bea

In various criminal affairs In the vicinity
They have had no regular occupation, bu
have always been OF q shiftless nature
leading life OF semi-vagrancy. About
year ago the two went to New Brunswick
where they have been since. Reports ar,
to the effect that the younger one, George
confessed his connection with the Freder
teton affair and at the same time confesse,
he was the man who murdered Elliot
Whether this be true or not remains to b,
seen. VIM. Elliot was murdered In Vale,

TREASURY OF SONG"

IL is seldom that we can commend q book
so strongly as that named above. "Treas-
ury OF Song" Is indeed treasury. II con.
tains nearly 800 choice selections Of song,
from the various departments, - sacred,
classical, humorous. These extend over
500 royal octave pages, well printed on SUI
perior paper, and giving the instrumental
accomplishments wherever necessary.
Myron w. Whitney, the great American
basso, writes the publishers thus; " If gen.
orally introduced IN musical homes, you
will deprive vocalists OF their best grouse
for not singing on invitation, since the
assertion, / have no music with me, will
have no force In the presence OF Treasury
OF Song" The Kansas City Journal says !:
There Is not song In the entire collec-
ton that could be omitted without marring
the completeness OF the book. The Rev.
Il. B. Hull, OF New York City says: at IL
impossible, j think, to make better.
Prof. Hugh A. Clarke, OF the University OF
Pennsylvania, declares 81 am glad TO
bear my testimony to the excellence and
variety OF the selections 1t contains" Prof
Clarke is one OF the highest authorities In
music.
A series OF sketches, and portraits OF
eminent musicians and singers Is included
in the book, making In all about $50 pages.
The binding Is beautiful and In every re-
spect the work Is superb. II has been
published by Hubbard Brothers, Of Boston,
Mass.

HONOR DUE.

Our late victory was In large measures
due to our splendid organization. Inc
people set In order as to make their wishes
effective were ripe for the change but need
ed to be so. When the determination or
Mr.. Blaine to retire from the State Com
mittee became irrevocable, 1t was very
natural thing that Senator Frye should
take his place, but no man knew bet
ter than he how impossible 1t was TO
add to his great labor as Senator the
immense work OF making an organiz-
alton all over the State such as was aoso-
lutely needful. He had the sound ludg-
ment to decline to act unless Col. r. n.
Dow would assume that tremendous task.
The result Is tribute to their combined
efforts and good sense. Senator Frye well
says that four flfths OF the credit Is due 70
Mr.. Dow. The organization was syste-
matte, thorough and deserving OF the bril-
liant results which followed. Col. Dow
was simply untiring. Few men In Maize
would or could have stood up under such
ceaseless exertions. 1t would take col
umns of this paper to describe In detail
the work done. Such labor, so essential
to success, seldom gets anything like
Just need of prase and recognition. we
bespeak for Colonel Dow the gratitude OF
all Republicans of Maine and OF all honest
men eyerywhere.-Press.
While we endorse the above sentiments
of the Press in regard to Senator Frye aud
Col. Dow, we are unable to comprehend
the meaning of the second sentence Of the
article. We will give prize chrome to
the interpreter thereof.

STAR ROUTE CAsEs.-Of the seven per-
sons indicted for conspiracy to defraud
the Government by means OF star route
mail contracts, two only-.John X. Miner
and Montfort C.. Rerdell-have been found
guilty. The case against one-Il. W. Tur-
ner--was virtually abandoned before going
TO the Jury. As to the other four, the last
ballots taken In the jury-room seem to have
shown ten votes for the conviction OF j.
w. Dorsey, nine for the conviction OF 5
w. Dorsey, eleven for the conviction of
Vale, aud ten for that OF Brady. Accord
ing TO the statement of the foreman OF the
jury, nine OF his associates were prepared
to bring In verdict against all six OF the
men whose conviction was demanded by
the Government. The foreman was will
ing TO include j. w. Dorsey and Vaille

mead was convinced OF Brady's guilt, but
not as TO that Of the Dorseys and Vale.
Juror Brown was, after several changes oil
mind, ready to convict Yaille, but not the
two Dorseys or Brady.

WIFE BEATING-An item on the outside
of this paper tells how surprised wife
beater was when the Judge before whom
he was brought sentenced him to the whip
ping post. Most all ancient methods OF
punishment as we'll as torture, have disap-
peared from modern civilization. Howev-
er one or two States have reserved the
whipping post for the wife beater. A man
who strikes his wife should be beaten
with many stripes" When a woman mar
ries she places herself under the protection
of her husband. She leaves home and
friends. where she was shielded from the
rough outside world, and seeks with her
husband to establish new home Tor her
self and for him. She is at his mercy, and
can seek for no relief from his pettishness
without a great scandal. The laws Of the
land end Of society expect him to "love
and cherish" the woman he has taken for
his wife and to provide for her while she
ssrvas him III he beats and abuses the
woman entrusted TO his care and protec'
ton. if he strikes the defenceless woman
he should be beaten, in return. while he l.
unable to defend himself. II the Law doe:

EDITORS should make good Congress
men, particularly II they are practical
printers. There are few professions which
require such infinitely thorough work as
is demanded in the printing oil e aud edi-
torial room. In printing the compositor
must make his lines and columns even, to
the THO kness OF piece oil paper. lie learns
accuracy and acquires habit of concen-
tration that must be OF great benefit In any
business. Hon. Hannibal Hamlin said
once in the presence of the writer when
he was an apprentice that the months
he spent in the OXFORD DEMocRAT
ONCE were OF as much value 10 him as any
equal number Of years spent elsewhere In
ftting him for the great duties OF after
life. He was Governor OF Maine, men,
Der of Congress, United States Senator
and Vice President. In all OF these re-
sponsible positions he exhibited the atten-
tive habits formed in the printing office.
No man ever wrote him on the most triv-
ial business without receiving prompt
reply. No man ever committed public
business to his hands and complained that
it did not receive prompt and careful per-
sonal attention. Editing paper leads to
great care in thou ght and expression. 1t
is not sa fe to put an incorrect thought or
figure into type. The orator may make
such errors, and only the most retentive
memory will detect them. But the editor
who so blunders, is taken to task at once
before thousands OF his fellow men. Gov.
Dingley has already shown by his practi-
cal career in Congress that these things
are true, and that the training above indi-
: C ated is not over estimated in value. We
predict that Capt. Boutelle will also prove
a valuable Representative, having beer
trained in the same school. The prompt
ness with which he saw an issue in TIT
hay duty, and the vigor with which hi
pressed the point against his opponents
shows that he has the same practical quicl
wit which marks all successful, newspape
men. He will suggest practical measures
and they make better political CAPT tai tina
long winded partisan speeches.

TIE election Of Monday restores 10
Maine a united State government, and set
ties the points in dispute between Govern

took the stump and discussed these points
with unusual vigor. He discussed moth

Trscy's plurality, II.

At the Republican jubilee meeting in
Portland, Tuesday evening, Governor-elect
Robbie was called upon and received with
great applause, and in a pleasant speech
said he was proud TO have been member
of the Executive Council, which Governor
Plaisted had assaulted in such unjust and
undignifed terms. Referring to the Su.
preme Court issue, Mr.. Robbie said he should
esteem il a pleasure as well as duty to
renominate Judge Libbey, Democrat as ne
is, for the position which he has honored
"a declaration that called forth great APP
plause.-JOuyRdi.
Perhaps Governor Plaisted, finding that
the people do not endorse his conflict with
the Council and the Court, will lower his
high head, stop the squabble, and renomin
ate Judge Libbey himself. Perhaps h
will pay Colo nel Spaulding and redeem
his character by just administrator
hereafter. We hope so, at any rate.
