The voters, if possessed of ordinary iptelIi-
gence, know better than this. They know that
the New York Times has not been Republi-
can paper for years; that for years it has been
free trade papers and that when it became
two cent paper some months ago it began to
cater for two cent constituency. They know
that the New York Evening Post has always
been free trade paper. and that it is now con-
trolled by an Englishman and an American
free trader. They know that Harper's Weekly
Is opposing Mr.. Blaine because the Harpers did
not secure the publication of Bane's Twenty
Years in Congress; that the Boston Advertiser
has neither circulation nor influence; that the
Transcript is free trade organ, devoted main
ly to little tattle and Miss Nancy-sms. Nor is
1t true that ''the entire independent and nearly
ali the religious press of the country" is oppos-
ed to the Republican candidates. The latter is
nearly unit against Cleveland In conclusion,
the voters know that the mugwump press is
both untruthful and indecent.

The Independent reports movement on foot
in Bath to refund the municipal debt in four
per cent. bonds, thus saving on the annual in
terest account some $4,000 or $4,000 yearly
1t says that Bath has struggled nobl, to pay
the yearly accrung interest on the skies, and
that some of her leading men have about de-
cided that the city cannot longer pay six per
cent interest on the Knox & Lincoln bonds
Those in favor of the movement say: "Hold-
ers of bonds can scarcely call step by which
they obtain 100 cents on dollar. reputation
We can't pay any longer six per cent. year
for money, that's all there is about it," The
Independent thinks that AS Rockland has been
quite successful in refunding her six per cents
in fours there is no reason why Bath should not
do likewse. The refunding movement in Bel
fast has, we regret to say, proved an utter fall
ure; but that was fore seen when the city gov
ernment passed under its present control.

MI RIDER IN SURRY


Coroner Fiske, of Ellsworth, was called to
Surry to examine the body of Robert Young,
found dead Monday morning at the house of
Robert Grindle. Fiske called "A coroner's court.
According to the deposition of William Conerv.
of Surry, it appears that Conerv called at
Grindle's House this morning about eight O'Clock
and saw the body of Young lying dead on the
floor. Grndle at first refused Conery admit
lance, but afterwards allowed him to enter.
After the hearing the jury gave verdict that
Robert Young came to his death by the hands
of Robert Grindle, between Saturday evening
last and Sunday morning, by wounds on the
head made by some pointed instrument in the
hands of Robert Grindle. 1t is reported that
Grindle has been insane for some weeks, and
that his wife left him on that account about a
month ago Curing The hearing Grindle ap-
peared very crazy. He has been lodged in
Ellsworth Jail and will be presented at once
before the grand jury.

DEATH FROM STARVATION.
WILDER F. Heath, a sailor, left his home in
Hallowell several months ago on a sea voyage,
and made, as he supposed, all necessary ar
engagements with one of the traders in Halo
well to supply his family with goods until his
return, when he would pay him. 1t is said the
trader got tired of his agreement, and the little
family of wife and three small children were
shut off from obtaining any more supplies at
this place. The mother, too proud to beg or
ask her neighbors for food or assistance, went
without food for several days, and her little
family likewise, and before she was aware of
It her little babe of four months was dead. Dr.
Lee says it died from starvation. The other
Two children suffered for the want of food, etc.,

>UEEP RAISING IN MONTANA. Among the ma
lives of Wahto county who have achieved success
in the far West is Mr. Jacob Severance formerly
of Unity, and now the prosperous owner Of a sheep
ranch in Okla, Montana, which he carries on with
the aid Of his MIR. Severance has been visit
ing this city and his former home and we obtnined
from him few days since some particulars of the
great and growing business of stock raising He
went to Montana six years ago, started in small
way, Mt first met with losses, due to neNpcrience,
but now owns 5000 acres Of valuable land and has
10000 sheep. lie SAYS the profits of cattle raising
within the past few wears haze been enormous,
but thinks prices have attained the maximum ana
that the tendency is rather downward He believes
sheep raising, the profits Of which are estimated
at about b per cent. per aunum, to he the best
stand by. The Montana wool commands a higher
price in the market than Maine wool and the
heeces are heavier. The sheep are mostly of the
best breeds. There are sometimes storms in win.
ter When the sheep, which Craze throughout the
year without shelter are unable to obtain food and
perish of cold and starvation. Mir. Severance met
with losses in this way in the beginning, but has
since cut and stacked hay to provide for such
emergencies. In taking up land ii is necessary to
secure it along the streams, not only to ensure
water for the stock, but crops can only be
raised by irrigation. The adjacent uplands, al
though excellent for grazing, have market
value, and their falls to the owners of the wat
er courses. MI. Severance's ranch extends for
twe"ty miles along three streams and thus com
mands vast extent of territory for grazing pur-
poses. He likes the country and the climate. but
says that, after all, there is better place in
which to live than Waldo county. The winters in
Montana are not continuously cold as in the East
and although the mercury at times ranges lower
there than here, the cold is not so much felt. Mr..
Severance thinks that many of our Waldo county
young men who have been employed on ranches in
Montana may be expected home this fall. They
have been earning $500 or $500 year in this way
but the farmers generally are cutting down expen

Sad, Sad, But Awfully True 4!


A deep, lonesome quietude pervades
the camps of revelry. Hearts that
but little while ago rang with JOY
Gus gladness are now floundering in
the mire of the slough of despond.
All this is very sad to relate, but
things have kind O changed about.
The fact Of the business is, the ducks
have all migrated and left the boys
rather broken up and in q bad row of
stumps for the summer campaign.
RedmS of paper could not contain,
nor all the impassioned eloquence of
a dude express, the melalcholy gloom
that hangs out on the countenances of
the young men of McMinnville.
Why, meet any young fellow in Nc
Minnville now, from the gosling age
up to "fat and forty" ask him how
he feels and he just Bites over with
grief, except perhaps tits one who
BrOyJes his affections down to Crisp
Sunday afternoon drive, or one who
thinks one of the little charmers yet
remaining Worthdm all. 1t makes
little difference now whether the sun
shines or it Rains all summer, there
is no more sporting with the Finney
tribe till long after dog days-a
regular ninety days debt of despon-
dency has settled on the boys of Nc
Minnville, and proposition of ten
off for Cash would scarce produce a
smile. True, some of them may lean
their hopes of good time coming
(in the fal) upon Reeds in no wise
frail, yet it was found upon in Qurey
that there are already several well
developed cases of I-want-to-go-to-
Kentucky in town, and sudden
change from Rice diet has produced
a heartbreak that a whole summers
round of pleasures cannot an-Neal.
1t seems indeed a slow old town now;
the hands that mark the days and
weeks on the old clock Of time, creep
slowly round the Dial, and the
thoughts of some of our young men,
like the star of empire, westward
hold their way-it is inexpressibly
sad to think that so many of their
stout hearts have been Carried away
off to Missouri and Texas.
In view of the above, and great
deal more too intensely utter to
speak about, meeting will be held
on Saturday night to form a mutual
consolation society, and every young
man feeling anything like a gone-ness
somewhere in the region of the vest
pocket in which hecarries his pencils,
sticking plaster and extra cigars, is
mournfully solicited to be there.
