Cancer for Five Yeara.

The interests of humanity seem to demand
the publication of the following facts: Two
months ago my attention was called to the
case of poor woman who was said to be
afflicted with a cancer. found her with an
ulcer on her shoulder at least FIVE inches in
circumference. angry painful, and giving the
patient no rest day or night for six moths. |
obtained a supply of Swift's Specific, which |
persuaded har to try. She has taken i've bot
ties, the result of which is that the ulcer is
entirely healed up nothing remaining but a
small scab. not larger than ones finger
nail. and her general health is better than for
five years past. She seems to be perfectly
cured. l consider its effects wonderful-ai-
most miraculous

Delegates 70 Chicago.

The time for holding conventions in this
State to elect delegates to the Chicago
convention is drawing near. The senti-
ment of the State is very decidedly in
favor of the nomination of Mr.. Blaine as
the republican candidate for President.
But the attitude of Mr.. Blaine. in refusing
to take any steps to promote his own can
didacy here ur elsewhere has tendency to
discourage efforts on the part of those who
favor his nomination to secure delegates
who will attend the Chicago convention
and exert themselves for his nomination.
We hope. however, Mr.. Blaine's earnest
and numerous friends in Maine will not
permit his reluctance to do anything for
himself prevent them taking all necessary
steps to secure the strongest and best del
egation they can to support him in the
national convention. In many OF the
States Blaine delegates have already been
chosen and pledged by the conventions to
support him at Chicago. Everywhere his
name il mentioned for the Presidency with
marked favor. The great State of Penn
sylvania manifests unprecedented unanim-
ity for him In New York there is pow
erful tide in his favor, also in Ohio and
Indiana. The conventions so far held in
New England have been in favor Of Mr..
Blaine. There is no doubt that the North
western and Pacific States will support
him, nor that he will get fair share of
the delegates In the South.
Maine is not behind any State. in respect
for Mr.. Blaine. His name is the one uni
versally mentioned by the republicans of
this State as that above all others to re-
ceive the nomination for President. They
feel that the leadership Of the republican
cause in the coming campaign cannot be
trusted TO better hands, or the Presidential
Office be bestowed upon any more worthy
or capable candidate.
That his name will 90 before the national
is beyond a doubt. That it
will be powerfully supported is equally
certain. 1t never exerted such sway
among the people of this country as at the
present time. The indications are that it
will be- the successful name in the great
Let his friends in Maine see to it that
the conventions to choose delegates in this
State give no uncertain sound. Let them
send none but true and tried friends of
Mr. Blaine to Chicago. This will be in
full accord with the sentiment of our peo-
Pile. Before all other men mentioned Mr.. |
Blaine is the favorte candidate of Maine
republicans, the man whom they know
and whom they will trust before any other
man in the nation to lead in the coming
and administer the great trust
involved in the Presidential office

The collision of two Maine Central
trains which occurred yesterday at Farm
ingisle, fortunately was not very serious
except in damage to the trains. Two or
three persons were injured. but net Sc
riously. Whatever blame there may be
in the case attaches to the freight train
going west. The company should not
allow it to pass without strict investiga-
ton of the tacts, which will place the re-
sponsibility for the accident where it
properly belongs. Had not the trains
been moving slowly the catastrophe would
have besn attended with deplorable re-
suits.

What Ais st Adams?


Some 80 years ago there was village on the
beautiful Vermont slope toward Lake Cham
plain, trife slow but made up of the old New
England families of laborious ways and frugal
habits. There was great deal of wealth there
and railroad "magnates" began to blossom.
Northfeld the manufacturing and repairing
center of the Vermont Central railroad, was
stripped of the machinery and employees; they
were transported to st Adams, where new
buildings were erected, the ghosts of the dis
embodied structures being left to stand until
they fell by decay amid weeds and few rusty
car-wheels. The lake town fiourished gently,
had raid, butter market and more magnates
-railroad star-route, trust company-qute an
elegant assortment. These elegancies seem to
have been acquired, however, at the expense OF
a reckless speculative habit in the whole COM
munty, repeated breaches of trust and general
Generalization. The last failure draws from
an ingenious correspondent the encouraging re-
mark Gas there are no more banks to fail, the
feeling that bottom has been reached with so
small shock to legitimate local business Is re-
assuring" 1t was Tom Hood who said;
Everything having burned up, the fire was
now under control" Did it ever occur to the
st Adams mind that, in the midst of so much
financial rottenness, the bottom might drop out
of the Smiths some day? Then the town
would move back to Mortified.

1t is trne that Judge Redfeld, in 1888, was
doubled by the listers without investigation,
and under a misapprehenson of the facts. But
the board of civil authority, after full hearing,
struck off the doubling, and found that he had
wifully omitted no taxable property. And
the amount which they found he had accident
ally omitted, was very small-SS53, orSS.53 of
the grand list. 1t is no light thing to unjusty
asperse the character of a man of Judge Red
fields eminence.

Spring has nearly opened; the boys are busy

liant Col g. w. Hooker seems TO be on the war
path. Some intimate that he is after the ap-
pointment Of agent for paying pensions in New
Hampshire and Vermont in place OF, Z. L.
Whitford. Others say he is fixing things for
his election to congress from the second dis
trict. We presume he is after both and any
other good thing lying round loose. He may
bring sufficient force to bear upon officials in
Washington to secure the former berth but if we
mistake not the sentiment of the Republicans of
this district he has not ghost of a show in Sc
curing the latter.
