THE BIG sIDDEFoRD MEETING.
Mention of Two congressman That Are
to Be.

The Biddeford Times in describing the great
rally there Saturday, says of Mr.. Boutelle:
The personal appearance of the speaker was OF
itself guarantee that he had something to
say and could say it. The fine, intellectual
and manly cast of countenance, a face, every
lineament of which Expresses irmness deter
mination, makes Hon. Charles A. Boutelle
man at once striking and attractive. With no
waste of words he settled down at once to
business. He gave special attention to local
issues. Gov. Plaisted's arrogant assumption
of powers, that the law has wisely committed
to the Executive Council, was reviewed in a
istspresent smart and vince The State steal
and its coterie of political malefactors passed
under the calcium light of his powerful logic.
Each word of the speaker was deliberate,
clear cut, and to be heard on the remotest
fringe of the great company. As fact after
fact was cited, as the fierce invective and de-
nunciation of these conspirators and their COD
federate, Gov. Plaisted, fell from the speaker s
lips, fusion squirmed like skinned eel, and its
ar cry adherents gave expression to the rage
they felt by repeated interruptions. With
consummate skill the orator parried these at
severe castigation. His declaration that "the
Republican party is the party of law and
order;' that sit desired the vote of no man
who sustained that infamy, the State steal"
met with hearty applause. During an hour
and half he held to fusion and Plaisted in
spite of the determined effort to draw him of.
When he had finished, the heinous crime of
the Garcelon gang and the photograph of
Plaisted, the arrogant, undigniied, selfish and
rebellious exponent of one-man power, was
fixed in the mind of each hearer. Never be-
fore has this crime and this pretendei been so
mercilessly, so skillfully portrayed before a
Biddeford audience as by Hon. Chas. A. Bou-
telle. At his closing President Banks imme-
diately introduced the Hon. Seth l.. Milliken,
gentleman in every way the peer of the pre-
vious speaker. The gentleman pleaded the
lateness of the hour, and although enthusias-
tic Republicans were only too eager to listen,
declined to make aEy extended remarks. The
few words uttered were sufficient to reveal in
Hon. Seth l.. Milliken the finished orator, the
able and courteous gentleman.

The Recent Fires at Old orchard

The Recent Fires at Old Orchard
should admonish all who resort to such places
ar to other sea side and mountain hotels, to be
on their guard in case Of fire in the night
time 1t is truly marvellous not to say provi-
Dental that no lives have been lost in these re-
cent fires at Old Orchard and elsewhere. These
large houses, usually during the summer
months filed with people, should be pro-
tected by mesns of escape from the upper stor-
les, should a fire occur in the lower part of the
building, and the proprietors or keepers OF
these and all other hotels should be compelled
1y law to provide escape ladders of some kind
for evry room above the ground floor or see-
ond story, so that there may be some mode of
escape beside the Railways and stairs from
which the occupants may be cut off by fire or
smoke
If insurance companies consider these houses
so hazardous that they are unwilling to insure
them, except at high rates if at ALL il becomes
the public to keep away from them until such
measures are adopted to protect the lives and
property of their patrons from destruction in
such emergencies.
1t is hoped that our legislature at its next ses-
sion will take the matter in hand, and compel
hotel keepers or the owners of such to provide
some kind of safeguards to those who patron
ize them and pay so literally for it.

THE STRIKES.

Boston 'Longshoremsn Giving In-The
Cunard Men Return to Work at the
Old Prices.
BOSTON, Sept. A decided change in the
attitude of the 'longshoremen's strike occurred
this morning. Tho 'longshoremen who had
been employed on the Cunard wharves, to the
number OF forty, gave up the strike and ten
dered their services to the company at the old
prices. In the mean time the officers of the
company who went to I wharf to bring the us
ual complement of men over in a tugboat
found, in addition to a hundred regular men,
more than hundred others, chiefly colored
men, waiting to be engaged. Many of them
were from Baltimore, and had had experience
as 'lopgshoremen. The Cunarders engaged as
many as they needed and sent about hum
dred 10 the Warren and other comp nies,
where they will probably be needed, owing to
expected arrivals. A party of Bosom strikers
who went to East Boston to verify the report
that the Cunard men had returned to work
expressed their indignation at their course and
declared that the Boston society would fight
the battle for living wages Independently of
East Boston. The Cnnard officials state that
they have more than enough men to unload
the Cephalonia, which entered the harbor this
morning

The Constabulary Troubles.

DUBLIN, Sept. 4.-Eighty persons injured in
the street rows here since the trouble occurred
among the police force, are being treated in
the various hospitals. Nearly a score of the
patients have bayonet wounds.
4 woman has died of injuries received in
the charge by the military Saturday and one
of the soldiers has been arrested. At a meet
ing of the town council Lord Magyar Dawson
stated he had abstained from enrolling special
constables as requested by Earl Spencer be-
cause he did not think that it was desirable to
accept the services of strangers He had since
offered Earl Spencer the services of tradesmen
of various localities but had received the reply
that the authorities themselves had obtained
sufficient number of special constables. He
stated that the specials were on duty and that
the police would be reserved for the night.
The official committee appointed to consider
the claims of the police met for the first time
to-day. Two special constables have been sem
fenced, one to tsix m yntbs and the other to
three months Imprisonment for asSaultine mil
itary. 1t is stated that the specials are very
unpopular both with the soldiers and police
and that the dismissed constables have melted
the mob to attack them. At a meeting OF the
corporation Lord Mayor Dawson said the spec
ial constables were simply targets and the cause
of the disturbance.
